Tbe G e bums cbeerilr 00 tbe braith, :be great logs crackle and flare op the wide cbiuiDej, up which, it ia mr woot to ear, you could drive a coach-aod-four. I draw mr chair near to it with a shiver. "What a Digbt!" I bay. "Is it still Kooning?" aska my wife, who bin opposite to me, her books and work oa the table Leuide bir. "Fast. Yoa caa hardly see yard btfore joa."

Freeenily I go to tbe window and look oot; it bas ceased snowing, and through a rift in tbe rlonds I tree a star. "It is begioLiag to clear," I tell my wife, and also inform her it is pa 1 1. As she lights her candle at a aide ta ble I hear a wbiuing and scratching at the iront door. SIIiEI, 1HQ7. i . r : ESTAUIil WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19. 1877. "There is Laddie'loose again," says f-be. "Would you let bim in, dear?" I did not like facing the cold wind, bat coald not refuse tbe poor animal Strangely enoagb,f when I opensd tbe door and called him be wouldn't come. lie runs up to the door and looks in my face with dumb entreaty; then be runs back a few steps, look ing around to see if I am following; and fioally be takes mr coat in his mouth and tries to draw me out. "Laddie wont cow in," I called out to uiy wife. "On the contrary, be seems to want nie to go out and have a game of enow-ball with him." She throws a shawl round her and comes to the door. The collie was hers before we were married, and she is almost as fond of him, I tell ber, aa she is of Jack, our eldest boy. "Laddie, Laddie!" she calls; "come in, eir." lis comes obediently at her call, but refuses to enter the house, and pursues tbe same dumb pantomime ne bas already tried on me. "I shall shut bim out Jessie," I say "A n'ght in the snow wot', hart bim," and I prepare to close tbe door "You will dj nothiog of the kiud!" hhe replies with an anxious lojk; ' but ynu will rouse the servauU at once ami full iw hlui. borne one is Ion in the siioat, and Laddie knows it" ; 1 lauli "Uealv, Jrs.tie, yon are alHunl. LndJie is a Hagacious ani- ma, no doubt, but I cannot belie that I e ts cltver aa tbat. JIojv can be powibly know whether any one is Io.it in the snow or not I " "IIecau.se be has' fjund ,liem aud come back to us for help LiH,k at him now." I cannot but own that tbe dog seems restless and uneasr. and is ev ideotly endeavoring to coax us to fol low him; be looks at us with pathetic entreaty in Lm eloquent eyts. "Why won't vou believe me ? " be seems to aek. "Come," she continues; "you know you could not rest while there was a possibility of a fellow-creature want ing your assistance. And I "am cer tain Laddie is not deceiving as." What is a poor hec-petkfd man to do: I grumble and resist and yield; as 1 have often grumbled and resist ed and yielded before, and as I doubt less shall do again. "Laddie once found a man in tbe snow before but be was dead," Jessie savs. as she nurriea off to Gill a flask with brandy, and get ready some blankets for us to take with as. In the meantime I rouse tbe servants. Tbey are all English with the excep tion of Donald, tbe gardener, and I can see tbey are scoSingly skeptical of I.,addie s sagacity, and inwardly dis gusted at having to tarn oat of their warm beds and face tbe bitter winter Piona trouble yoursels." I hear old Donald say. "The mistress is right enough. Auld Laddie is cleverer than mony a Christain, and will Cod something in tbe snaw this night" "Lon't sit ap, Jessie," I sa-- as we star-; "we mar be out half the night on thi wild-goose chase." r.iiw Laddie closjlv." is the only answer he makes. The dog ppring forward with a joyous bark, constantly looking back to see 11 we are lollowing. As we pas throagh tbe avenue gates and emerge on to the raoor, the moon struggles through tbe driving clouds, and lights ap with a sickly gleam the snow-clad country before us. '-It's like hunting for a needlo in a bundle of hay, sir," says John, the coach man, confidentially, "to think as we "should find anybody on such a night as this! Wbr, in some places tbe snow is more than a couple of feet thick, and it goes again' reason to think tbat a dumb animal would have tbe sense to come home and fetch help." Bide a wee, bide a wee," savs old Donald. "I diooa ken what your Koglish dugs can do; but a collie. though it basna been pleasing to Providence to give tbe creator tbe gift o' speech, can do mony mair things tban tbem tbat would deride iL" "I aia't a deridia' of 'era," says John. "I only say as how if tbey be so very clever I've never seen it."" "Ye wall, though, ye wull," says old Donald, as he hurries forward af ter Laddie, who bas now settled down into a swinging trot, and is laking bis way straight across the loneliest part uf the bleak moor. Tbe cold wind almost cuts us in two, and whirls the snow into our faces, near ly blinding us. My finger tips are becoming numbed, icicles bang from my niouatacbe and heard, aod my feet abd legs are soaking wet, even through my e hooting boots and stout leather legging. The moon bas gone in again, and ibe light from tbe lantern we carry is barely sufficient to show us tbe ine qualities in tbe height of tbe snow, by which we are guessing at our path. 1 begin to wish I bad staid at liome. '"L'ltomme projMjue, mait la frtnme disiio.e" 1 sigh to mrself; land I begin to consider whether I may veniura to give ap tbe search (wtiicb I have undertaken parely to atiefy my wife, for I am like John, a.id won't believe in Laddie,) when suddenly I bear a shout in front of me, aod see old Donald, who has all the time been keeping close to Lad die, drop on his knees and begin dig ging wildly in tbi snow with his hands. We all 'usb forward. Lad-j die has stopped at what appears to te tbe foot of a stanted tree, and after j scratching and wh niog for a moment, sit down aod watches, leaving the rest to us. What is it that appears when we have shoveled away the snow? A dark object. Is il a bun dle cf rags? Is it or alas! was it a human beiog? We raise it carefully and tenderly, wrap it in one of the warm blankets wim which my wife's foretboagbt has provided oa. "Bring the lantern," 1 say huskily; and John holds it over tbe prostrate form of, not as we might bare expected, some stalwart shepherd of the hillt, bat over that of a poor shriveled, wrinkled, ragged old woman. 1 ory to poor a little brandy down the poor old throat, bat tbe teeth are so firmly clenched tbat I cannot "Best get her home as quickly aa may be, Sir, the mistress will know better what to do for ber nor we do, if so be the poor creature is not past help," says John, turning instinctive- ly, as we all do in sickness or trouble to womaa's aid. Sj we improvise a sortof hammock of the blanket?, and gently and ten derly the men prepare to carry their poor helpless burden over tbe snow. "I am afraid your mistress will be in bed." I say, as we begin to re trace oar steps. "Never fear, Sir," says Donald with a triumphant glance at John: "the mistress will be up and waiiin'for us She kens Laddie didna bring us out in tbe snaw for naething." "I'll never say nought about believ iog a dgwa again," says John, grace fully striking bis colors. "Yoa were right and I was wrong, and tbat's all about it; but to think there should be such sense in an animal passes me !" As we reach the avenua gate I dispatcb one of the men for tbe doc tor, who fortunately lives witbia a stone's-throw of m, and harry on myself to prepare my wife for what is comiug. She runs out into tbe ball to meet me. "Well ?" she asks eagerly. "We have found a poor oil wo maa," I say; but I da nut know whether she is alive or dead " My wifeihriws her arms aio.ind me and gives me a great hog. "sou will bud dry Mings and a jug of hot toddv in vour dressing room, dear." she says, aod ihit is all ibe revenge she takes on me for my okepticism. The pjor olJ woman is carried up stairs ana placed 10 a warm bulb uader my wife's di. ee tioc; aid before tbe doctor arrives she bas h wn seme f nut rymptoms of life; so my wile sends mo word, Dr. Uruce shakes bis bead when be sees ber. "roor old soul, be sayp; "bow came she oat on tbe moor 00 such a fearful night? I doubt she bas received a shock, which at her age she will not easily get over." Tbey manage, however, lo force a few spoonsful of bot brand v and water down her throat; and presently a faint color flickers on ber cheek, and the poor old eyelids begin to tremble. Mr wife raises ber bead and makes her swallow some cordial which Dr. Oruce bvi brought with him, and then lays ber back among tbe soft warm pillows. "I think she will rally now, says Dr. Brace, as her breathiog In comes more audible and regular. "Nourishment aod warmth will do the rest; but she bas received a shock from wbicb. I fear, sbe will never recover," and so saying be takes bis leave. By aod by I go ap to ber room and find my wife watching alone by tbe aged sufferer. She looks op at me with tears in ber eye. I'oor old sonl sbe says; "I am afraid she will not rally from tbe cold and exposure." I go round to tbe otber side or tbe bed and look down upon her. Tbe aged face looks wan and pinched, and tbe scanty gray locks which lie on tbe pillow are still wet from tbe snow. She is a very little woman, as far as I can judge of her in ber recumbent position, and I should think must have reached her allotted three score years aod ten. ''Who can she be?" I repeat wonderiuIy. "Sbe does not belong to any of tbe villages herea bouts, or we should know her face; and I cannot imagine what could bring a stranger to tbe moor on sucb a night." As I speak a change passes over ber face; tbe eyes unclose, and she looks inquiringly about her. She tries to speak, but is evidently too weak. My wife raises ber, and gives ber a spoonful of nourishment, while she Bays soothingly: "Don't try to speak. Yoa are among friends; and when yoa are better yoa stall tell as all about yourself. Lie still now ana try to sleep." 1 ne grar bead drops bacK wearily on the pillow; and soon we have the satisfaction of bearing by tbe regular respiration ibat oar patient is asleep. ion must come to bed now, Jes sie," I say. "I shall ring for Mary, and she can sit up for tbe remainder of the night." But my wife, wbo is a tender-bearted soul and a born nurse, will not desert her post ; so I leave ber watching and retire to my solitary chamber. When we meet in tbe morning I find that tbe little old woman has spoken a few words and seems stron gcr. "tome in witb me now," says mr wife, "and let oa try to bad oot wbo she is. "We Cnd her propped into a reclining posture with pillows, and Mary beside ber feeding her. "Howare you now?" asks Jessie, bending over her. "Better, much better, thank too, good lady," she says in a voice which trembles from age as well as weak ness. "And very grateful to you for your goodness." I hear at once by tbe accent that she is English. "Are you strong enough to tell me how you got lost on the moor, and where you came from, and where yoa were going?" continues my wife. "Ah! I was going to my lad, my poor lad, and now I doubt I shall never see him more," says tbe poor soul, with a long sigh of weariness. "Where is your lad, and how far hare you come ?" "My lad is a soldier at Kurt George ; and 1 hare come all tbe way from Liverpool to tfee him, and give bim his old mother's blessing before be goes to the Indies." And then, brokenly, with long paases of weari ness and weakness, tbe little old wo man tells as her pitiful story. Her lad, the tells as is her only remaining child. Sbe had six, aod this, tbe youngest, is tbe only one who did not die of want during the Lancaabier cotton famine.

Mr wife is in tears, and Mary sobbing aui iblr as tbe little old wo man c iucludes ber simple aud much iug story, and I walk to the wiudow aod louk out for a moment before am able to ask her what ber son's name is. As I tell ber tbat we are but a few miles from Fort George, and that I will send orer for him, smile of extreme content illumines the withered face. "His name is John Salter," sbe says. "He is a tall, handsome lad; ther will know bim by tbat" I hasten down stars and write short note to Col.

Tracks will be relald. depots rebuilt, locomotives and freight cars recon structed, trains rcmanned, and the great streaics of commerce will move on as before. The dinger over, the members of militia companies who were taken deathly sick will recover, and those wbo were called suddenly from borne will return.

We bave studied his oature aod habits with care, for he bas given fre quent onp irtuuities, aud we are coo viuced liial be.ug aa eye-wiiD)w is only one of his phases. He has mauy others. He began life as the first white child born in any given West ern town. In some towns he makes up nearly one half tba population. Madison in this State, is a notable example. By actual count there are in that rillage 35 first white children. It's the only capital some of theru bare, and tbey get along rery well on it An odd feature in many of tbeir cases is tbat while each could get a number of reputable old citi zens to swear that be was the first white child, he could hardly find one reckless enough to say that be bas grown up a white man. But this we take it was greatly due to his after history. When in school be did all the smart and dangerous things. He played tbe trick and got tbe licking. He saw mad dogs and escaped their fangs by his own clev erness, aod when fisbiug be always saw sea serpents and things of a monstrous kind. When be became of age he began pollin g the casting vote in elections carried by one ma jority. He bas sent men to Con gress, elected U mraor, and even chosen a President, by this wonder ful faculty: And be frequently trar eled great distances and suffered con siderable losses to cast tbat role. He went into business snd always had most marvelous financial escapes. Sometimes he was lucky, and others unlucky, but always remarkable. When banks.were breaking be was always tbe last man to draw bis de posits before the doors closed. Large counterfeits were never discovered till tbey bad left his possession. Bat be always missed his mark in real estate. He was implored to take tbe best corner lot in each city and ril lage in the West for tbe price of a pair ot boots. If be bad only fore seen the changes ahead he could have had a quarter section in the heart of the city, as easy as not He'd have been a millionaire If be had taken the chances. In the army it was the man next to him that was shot, always. His cheek was often grazed, but the oth er fellow's brains were distributed. He was the first man in a charge and the last to surrender. He palled down tbe enemie's flag and ran up ours, though it was no part of his du ty to do either. He shone at fires and railway disasters. Last to leave a burning- hotel or steam-boat, be was first to discover a leak in the res ervoir or the approach of a tornado, lis was numerous at tbe great Chi cago conflagration, and crossed each of the bridges as it tottered to its fall. He has bad a dull time of it late ly, and till the strike occurred was not much in demand. The old sto ries were growing stale and drinks precarious. There was a vast shrinkage in his market ralne, and we are not quite certain that he was not at tbe bottom of tbe strike. Cer tainly it's nuts for him. He became tbe terrible eye-witness, and his tale is in all tbe papers. In Chicago be saw the streets ran red witb blood ; be saw tbe grape and the canister rammed home, felt it almost graze bis cbeek, and cast his uninjured bot appalled eye down the swath of the slain. We have no wish to rob him of his pleasure or his occupation. He will circulate and tell bis story, and it will grow more blood-curdling and boriog as be proceeds.
