"Bo you're, determined not to come and spend the Christmas vacation with us ?" "My dear old boy, if I do, it's good by to thy chance of a first, and therefore a long farewell to my hope of a fellowship." The first speaker was Walter CarcW, heir to one of the richest baronetcies in wealthy Beeveshirc, and gentleman commoner of St. Gatlilact's . College, Oxford, on which floe old foundation his friend Charlie Brandreth was a scholar. " Well, then, at all events you'll come and stay somewhere handy, so that you can spend your Christmas and New-Year's Day with us?" " To have you come and Chevy me off my work every day ?" said Brandreth. "No ; 'pon honor, I won't. There's a farm of the governor's at Bishop's Clitnstoke, five miles from the nearest station, and that's an hour and a half from us. They're excel lent people, and will put you-up capitally, and for a moderate screw. Say yes, and I'll write to old Dimsdale about it by this evening's post." "It is a tempting idea. Arc you sure there is nothing about the locality to keep a fellow from reading "Not more timn any other place of this jol ly sphere. You know I'm no Judge. As my old coach used to say, the only place where I. should be likely to stick to reading would be Eddystone Light-house, and then I should have to promise not to fish." aop 28.6 m """ IVell, I confess with all my anxiety for a class, I don't like quite the notion of Christ mas day in Oxford and solitude ; so I'll say yes." The upshot of this conversation was that the beginning of the Christmas vacation, found Brandreth comfortably settled at Dovecote Farm, in the retired little village at Bishop's Cllmstoke. De found the bimodal° very agreeable people, and rather superior to his notion of farmer life. The family consisted of old Dimsdale, an honest and energetic man, his wife, a very homely and easy-going body, and Bose, their daughter, a girl of about eigh teen, and pretty enough to be, what Brandreth soon discovered that she was, the belle of Bishop's Climstoke. Brandreth bad been thrown on the world an orphan at an early age, with no kith or kin save au old bachelor uncle, who was his guar• disn until he came of age—an event which took place a couple of years before the date of this story. He hail, therefore, never known womanly kindness or attention ; and the care and thought which Boss bestowed on him as their visitor came upon him with no less nov elty than enjoyment. She, on the other hand, having been all her life accustomed only to the awkward homage of rustic admirers, was charmed with the refined and respectful atten tion which Brandreth naturally paid to a wo- =I It was hardly likely that such a state of feeling should remain at a fixed point, and it was scarcely'probable that it would suffer di minution. It naturally deepened and strength ened. Brandreth, with a man's instinct of rivalry, could not bear to see a girl like Ross surrounded by such clowns as her village suitors ; and taking advantage of his position as a visitor at her father's house, lie contrived on all occasions to monopolise her, much to the chagrin of her rustic swains, but greatly to her satisfaction. Poor Rose ! her guileless and unsophistica ted,nnture saw no wrong, no danger, no ine quality in their love. How could she fail to believe and return what she supposed to be an honest and honorable passion ? What else could his attentions mean ? And now It was Christmas eve, and he was about to start for Sir Ranulph Carew's to spend his Christmas. Poor girl ! though the separation would only be for a day, it seemed as if it was to be for ages. It was her first ex perience of the bitters of love. She stood in the hall, waiting to see him off, with a and heart, which sorely hindered her in her appointed task—the decoration of the old farm house with evergreens. At last Brandeth cants down stairs equipped for his journey, which was likely to prove a cold one, as the winter had begun to set in se= verely. Good-bye, Rosie ! A merry Christmas to you," said he cheerfully. " And to you, too," said she, but in no very merry tone. "So you're doing the decorations, eh ? I shall take the privilege of the season." He ought up a bit of mistletoe, and holding it over her head bent down and kissed her. It was the first time he had ever kissed her, and it should have been pleasant therefore. But it was not. ABU drove away toward the station, he recalled it again and again, but with an uncomfortable feeling, a self-reproach- ful dread Shall I tell you why ? Because, when he stooped down to kiss her, she had not turned her head away or tried to escape. She had raised. her face calmly and innocently and met his lips with hers. It was so simply and trust fully done that there was nothing unmaidenly in the action. It shocked him because it was a revelation—in that kiss she had given him her heart. Ile felt he was a. villain. lie had won the poor child's affection by false' pre tense., He had blighted her happiness merely to gratify his vanity ; for, of course, as he kept repenting to himself, there could be nothing between them, their stations in life were so very different. The line between the station at which:he en tered the train and that near Sir Ranulph's seat ran close to the village of Bishop's Clint stoke, and ns he was whirled rapidly by it, and recognized many a familiar spot, his heart grew sad to think what evil he had wrought in that quiet hamlet, and to the poor trusting girl who had given him her heart. Before long, however, lie found himself at Sir Banulph's hospitable mansion, where, in the pleasure of meeting Walter, and in the jol lity of the season, lie soon forgot his remorse, and dismissed the subject of his cruelty from his mind. 'lt was a thoroughly old-fashioned Christ• mac, kept up in the regular old-fashioned way. When the Yuleag that was drawn In by a party of mummers, was laid on the capacious hearth, and began to blaze, it was not only the sap that hissed. There were big flakes of snow, coming down the•wide chimney, and they spattered and steamed as they fell on the hot log. A week passed pleasantly enough, and per haps only too quickly. It required all Bran dreth's resolution to make up his mind to tear himself away and get back to his books. His difficulty in doing so was not decreased by the fact that his friend's only sister, Edith, show ed a decided partiality, for him, which Walter was only too delighted to foster, and upon which Brandreth could not help fancying neither her father nor mother looked with any displeasure. However, by a strong effort he resisted the spell, and on the day alter New Year's day he found himself in the train on the return journey to Bishop's Climstoke. As he pas sed the village the recollection of what'had happened when he left it came back to him again vividly. He could not help reproaching himself for his attentions to Edith as a treason to Rose. And yet after all, how could that bet Rose and he were so differently situated it was absurd to think of any thing serious between them I But when he arrived at the farm he found the Dlinsdales in Bore distress and tribulation. Rose had gone that morning early to visit her grandmother in the next village, which lay four miles off across the moor. At mid-day— though Brandeth had been too much occupied with his thoughts to notice it—there bad been a blinding snow-storm of long duration, and Rose had not returned. They bad waited and hoped until the lateness of the lour had driven them to acknowledge the fear that they had ventured to hint'to each other—she must hwe lost her way in the snow. The whole village was out in search of her, but the moor was a wide one, full of gullies anti water courses and the peril was extreme, the Diinsdales said. Almost before they had finished speaking Brnndreth had seized his hat and stick and hurried out. He did not know the moor at all, but he felt that he would find her. He must find her or die, he said to himself, and then wondered what this violent feeling meant. He could see lanterns moving about on all sides, and heard at Intervals one party of sear chers shouting to another. Ho strode on in darkness and silence. Ills ignorance of the 'moor did what the vil lagers' intimate acquaintance with it failed to do. They searched on and about the different paths. Ile went blindly on, now plunging into holes, now failing over ridges. At last the ground seemed to open under him —he felt himself falling into space. lie could scarcely smother a cry. But the sensation had been deceptive—he bad merely plunged into a waFer•couree. But as ha turned to scramble out again he saw a shred of gray cloth In the snow/ He knew it—it was Rose's cloak. lle threw himself on his knees, and began madly tearing the snow away with his hands. lea it was she I But was she asleep—or dead ? lie raised her from her cold couch, and taking off his cloak and coat wrapped them round her. As he was taking off the latter ho felt something in his pocket. Thank God it was the brandy-flask Walter had pressed to him when ho started. He con trived to pour a little between her pale motion less lips ; then catching her up with astrangth which surprised him even at the time, he strode back along his clearly marked track, covering her poor cold face with showers of warm kisses, and addressing her in the fond est terms of endearment. would be vain to attempt to picture the Joy and the gratitude of the Dimsdalcs at re covering their daughter, who thanks to her warm wrappings and the brandy, had already begun to show signs of returning conscious nuts when Brandreth, almost wearied out with his exertions, came staggering into the farmhouse with her is his arms. • But wearied as he was, that night he did not sleep a wink. Ile lay awake, trying, as he had tried on the moor, to make out the road before him. Did he love Rose? Could he make her his wife? And the spirit of pride was strong in him, and early in the morning he packed up his things, bade good-bye to Mr. and Mrs. Dlmsdale, left a farewell for Rose, and went back to Oxford. When he had recovered from the fever by which he was prostrated immediately on his return to Oxford, Charles Brandreth set to work with unabated zeal at his studies. The examination arrived ; and when the st came out the name of " Brandreth, Car ious, a Coll. Sti. Guth.," was in the First Class. Ile took his degree, and in another term had arrived at the height of his ambition —a fellowship. Blit somehow all his success failed to make him happy. He bad lost his pleasant old smile, and his friend Walter com plained, and then wondered whether his old chum Charlie was wretched to think he had not proposed to Edith, to whom the young Earl of 31tirston was now paying suit with apparently every chance of success. So—the year having now come nearly to an end—Walter determined to ask Brandreth down once again for the Christmas. " Who knows," said he to himself, " but he may cut the Earl out ? lie shall have my assistance any how I" lie could not prevail for some time upon his friend to accept the invitation ; and It was not until lie declared he should interpret his ref ueal as a desire to bring their friendship to a eose that he got Brandreth to promise to conic. But even then lie would not come an hour earlier than Christmas•eve. So Brandreth made his arrangements for e journey. And the recollections of the same time last year, and of the Dimsdales,and dear Bishop's Climstoke came back to him fresh and bright. Ina gracious mood he set liMiself down and wrote to old Dimsdale,. wishing him and his family the complimenti of the season. And then, just as ho was clos ing his letter, something came over him, and he added : "I shall be able to utter the wish almost within your hearing, for I am going down by the evening mail on Christmas•eve to spend a short time at'Sir Ranu!ph Carew's." You may be sure the letter was a pleasant surprise at Dovecote Farm. For the simple minded people never'connected Cherie Bran- dreth with the sadness acd gloom that came over Rose, that had stolen the color from her cheeks and the light from her eyes, and that made her sigh and go heavily, like one weary of life. They only thought of him as the pre server of their darling ; and they fancied the change In her was due to the shock she had received when she was lost In the snow. Why, dame I" said the farmer, brighten "'tie a letter fro' our Mr. Brandreth." A cursed jacknapes l" came In a grow •om a dark corner The farmer turned—lt was only Black Dick, as he was called in tho village, an ill-favored lad, not many degrees removed from an idiot or a brute. lie used to hang about poor Rose, much to her horror, making a display of slav ish admiration for her that was almost revolt. " Wlint's wrong Nvi' thee, Dick ?" said the anntir. " 'A thrashed of oost—on'y for carr'iu' a hit of misletoe hi ma pocket to catch nosey wi' I" " Served you right, too 1" said Mrs. Dins laic, who shared Hose's loathing for the crew ure. " And what says Mr. Brandreth EMU "He's coming down here to stay 'long of the Carews, and 'll wish us a merry Christ mas as he passes along the line o' Christmas eve by the mail train. Here's a merry Christ ians to him, eh, dame ?" Mrs. Dinsdale heartily joined In the wish; and then they began to talk of his stay at the farm, and about Rose's rescue ; and they did not notice the malicious grin with which Black Dick stole out of the kitchen after hearing the news contained In the postscript of. Charles Brardreth's letter. "Cursed jacknapes I" he muttered to him self, as he went across the frosty meadows in the direction of the railway ; " who but he 'as bruk Rosoy's heart t Who but he 'as teuk the maid away from oos honest village rnaals? An' thrashed of too 1 But I'll be oven wi' up 1" There was no moon on Christmas-eve, but the stars were bright In the frosty sky, and the clear surface of the thin sheet of snow that had fallen in the morning reflected what little light there was. The throb and rattle of the train that rushed i II so rapidly along, bearing him toward Bishop's Climstoke, seemed to fall Into a regular rythm, and his imagination, heated by remorseful memories, seemed to supply it with words— Ruthless traitor I Ruthless traitor I" The words ran continually in his cars. He could not shut them out by reading. They were like the soma& that report themselves with such maddening monotony to a man in delirium. Ho was positively grateful when he recognized by certain familiar landrrfarks that he was approaching Bishop's Climstoke. He opened the window and leaned out. Still the train hurried on. Now he could see the tower of the church. Ho was getting near the vil lage now. Ho would see the farm Ina minute. All I what was that ? Some black object moving down the side of the embankment a little way ahead. The engine -driver must have seen it, for hark l there is a warning whistle. All of a sudden the tone of the whistle is changed. It becomes a shriek of terror.— There follows a tremendous grinding of brakes hurriedly applied till the sparks rush from them in a stream. Then arise cries of alarm. And then, over all, a crash—the train heaves like a wounded snake ; the carriage seems to fall into splinters. A grinding, rush ing roar—the hissing of water flung upon live coals All this compressed into a minute's space; and this Is the last thing of which Charles Brandreth is conscious I They of the guards who are uninjured set to work to learn how the accident arose, and to extricate the passengers. They find the line has been blocked with several sleepers and upturned rails,which have overturned In its fall. Stoker and driver have both been thrown some distance, and lie dead or insensi ble—it cannot be clearly ascertained which just yet. But there's some one under the engine, for all that ! They can hear a falut moaning. Whoever it le, he's as gOod as dead, what with being crushed and burned and scalded all at the same time. They extricate him. It is a young fellow, apparently a farm la borer. It is promptly conjectured that he is the person who placed the obstruction on the line ; and when the question is put to him he does not deny it. Just at that moment they are carrying past the apparently lifeless body of one whose dross seems to be that of a cler gyman. A ghastly red cut across the face heightens its pallor. The byStanders ac knowledge with a shudder t y. „.lie rfeesence of death. The wretched author oS,tere calamity grins a terrible grin, half of fluty, half of triumph. "I be done for—b,rk I ha' killed un I—l ha' killed un, for sure I" And with that he falls writhing, and dies ike a crushed viper. And Just then a big burly figure comes push ng through the crowd. "Mr. Brandreth I Mr. Brandreth I Are you 'urt ? Where arc you, Sir? Have ye any o' ye seen a clergy—" And then he catches bight of the dead body, and all he can find breath to say Is, "Oh, my God I ho is dead I" DI. But Charles Brandreth is not dead. Better had ho been, he thinks, when, after a long lingering recovery from the worst, he learns from the doctor that he is hopelessly disfigur ed, and that he will be a deformed cripple for He shudders and turns away from a gentle land that Inlaid on his shoulder—oh, so soft. ly I It does not put him to physical pain, but t racks him with mental torture. For there is the ghost of poor Rose—the spectre now of the pretty girl he knew--waiting on him, tend- lug him, nursing him, patiently, devotedly, unwearyingly. But somehow lie feels there is a barrier between them. Not the cruel old barrier of pride that he had built up. In his humiliation, In the silent hours of waking, in the constant school of pain, he has learned to see clearly now. Tho barrier is none of his raising. It is interposed between them by Rose. If lie were the merest stranger she could not keep him more coldly at a distance, with her face emotionless as a mask, and her demure "Yes, Sir," and "No, Sir." Be prays for death ; but he feels that be mast live. And the thought of what lite means to him now is unendurable. One day when ho is, as ho supposes, alone, he complains aloud, reproaching himself for the past. "I blighted her life, and mine is darkened. killed the prettiness In her face, and mine is made a horror. I deserve it ; and yet it Is sad to think of the doom the doctor passes—a dis figured, deformed cripple for life I" And then suddenly he feels two arms around his neck, and a shower of kisses on his fore head; and ho hears Rosie's voice, sobbing: "My darling Imy darling I Yes I dare to call you so now—my own I my own I Dearer to me now than ever !--doubly dear, for they will not steal you from me now l" ' " Merciful Heaven I what have I done to deserve this ?" he gasps. And from that day he begins to mend fast: • • • • • • • There is little more to add, hut that little Is good. Sir Ranulph, dissatisfied with the opinion of the local surgeon, sends to town for the first surgeon of the day, who tomes down with cheerful face and hie noble gray head grown gray in the service of suffering humanh ty—and he takes a brighter view of the case, and a more correct one, which Is better still. For, by the time Charles Braodreth is well enough to move about again and goes to take the fat college living iur which he exchanges his fellowship, you would never guess from his straight, well-proportioned figure that ho had over been such a shattered wreck as he has been. There's just the shadow of a limp in his walk, and there's the white seam of a long scar on his brow, but you can only see it when yon are very near him. But Rose, his beloved wife who is nearer— and dearer—to him than any ono else in the world, vows she can not see any thing of a disfigurement or any fault or imperfection at all in her husband. DEATH OF THOMAS GARRETT Thomas Garrett died at Wilmington, Del., on the 25th inst., at the ago of 82. Ile was born in Upper Darby, Delaware county, this State. Ells parents belonged to the.Bociety of Friends, and his father, though a farmer, had been a scythe and edge-tool maker, and from him Thomas learned his trade. In 1820 Thomas removed to Wilmington, where he commenced business as an iron merchant, and succeeded in laying the foundation of one of the moat extensive mercantile houses in that city. Ills business career was full of vicissitudes, but he was ultimately success ful, and alter reaching the ago of sixty acquired,. the comfortable fortune of which ho died pos• seised. While first starting In business, a rival house attempted to crush him by reduc ing the prices of iron to cost ; but Mr. Gar tett, employing another person to attend to his store, put on his leather apron and brought out his anvil, and prepared to support him self at hie trade of edge tool making while the rivalry continued. Mr. Garrett was wide ly known for hie labors in opposition to slay 'cry and for the aid and assistance extended to fugitive slaves during a period of fifty years. His efforts brought down upon him muck persecution and annoyance, but he suffered no serious Inconvenience until 1847, when he was sued for the value of four slaves, ROBERT IREDELL, JR., Fain anb Irancg No. 003 HAMILTON B'I'ItEET, ELEGANT PNINTINGI , LATEb'T IBTI LIS . . 6tamped Cheeks, Card., Circulars, Paper Hooka, Cdas tattoo. and By-Laws, School Catalogues, Bill Iteadel En•elopes, Letter Heads Bulls of Lading.

When the trials were over and the Court had adjourned, Mr. Garrett. made a speech of an hour's length, to a large crowd in the court-•oom, and in the course of his remarks expressed his intention to redouble his exertions. This trial conveyed the inform ation far and near that Mr: Garrett was a warm friend of the fugitive slaves, and so great was the demand upon him for shelter, that he was obliged to enlarge his dwelling-' house. Ills friends now assisted him to start in business, and commencing in his sixtieth year, with nothing, hn again acquired a hand• some competence, although largely contribut ing to assist fugitives, and the oppressed of any color. After commencing the work of as- slating fugitives, Mr. Garrett began keeping a record of his operations, and from these memoranda it appears that ho had helped twentyseven hundred fugitives to escape from slavery, while a considerable number had' been aided of whom no record was made. Mr. Garrett lived to see realized his hopes for universal freedom, and in April, 1870, on the occasion of the parade of the colored people of Wilmington, he was car— ried through the streets in an open barouche, surrounded by the men for whom he had labored, and the guards around the carriage carried banners with the inscription "Our Moses." THE PRESIDENT'S LEVEE. A Washington correspondent of the Now York Tribune gives the following interesting and gossipy account of a " President's Levee" at Washington and of the people who arc to be seen there : Early on the appointed evening of such ceremony, the White House blazes, the Government bands begin their sturdy music, carriages thunder through the gates, policemen yell, coachmen blaspheme, ushers tear escort and escorted asunder,wraps are surrendered as the Sadducee buries his friends expected never to be seen again, and suddenly a crowd has seized you with a hun— dred hands, and frill and furbelow, lace and ribbon are crushed in the gigantic grasp which drags you through four doorways till you work yourself free in the Red Room, where an immense portrait of the President's family solaCes you till you can look at the real article in the Blue Room. The Blue Room Is ono glare of glory, azure and gold end white multiplied from mirror to mirror, and wonderful sconces shedding light -- over the soft blue carpets, the upholstery, the stands of flowers, and the splendid mass be low. Your name is called, your hand is touched, a pair of vacant eyes look over you to the next behind, you have passed the Pres ident ; an apparition of Hamlet's mother in red velvet and jewels is the President's wife ; a crescented array of fine ladies appal you with emerald, satin and pearls, with a " Worth's" dress of dove-colored silk point lace and diamonds, with a rainbow of blue and black and rose and gold fabrics ; and Miss Nellie Grant, who last year, with her pretty hair down her back, capered around the par lors, now confronts you with puffs and rolls and pink satin paniers. You are borne along by the crowd through the gloomy Green Room to the magnificence of the East Room. This is the only parlor the mob have. They make the most of it—the goodly share of an acre— they have the reddest of red curtains at the windows, the broadest of gold cornices above them ; they bevy hung the portraits of all their chief public servants in the pannels be tween the square-rods of looking-glass that reflect themselves ; hugo chandeliers shine with a thousand pendants and a thousand jets above them, and because base-born foreign crowds tread on bare marble floors they have on theirs a tufted velvet woven on a spacial loom, covered with an infinitude of all the impossible scrolls and leaves with which de— signers know hew to torment the eye, and walk rejoicing on the biggest carpet in the world. Thus revolves, like the medley in a vast kaleidoscope, a throng that might puz . .zle any celestial observer as to its object in cir cling round and round and round to the blare of the bugles and ophicleldes in the hall. Old people totter by with one foot in the grave ; a child in arms follows ; presently comes a rural bride in all the fairness of her inappro priate veil and orange blossoms; cripples, dwarfs, heroes, beauties, dhow her. 01 course, nt the President's levee the diplo- mats 'are out In force—the white•whiskered Mr. Edward Thornton, the little astute Baron Gerolt, with his future son-in-law the Greek Riingabe, and Madame Gerolt herself, who has just set the world so magnanimous an example In giving to the French Fair the unused artlefes of the German one ; the dark Spanish Minister; perhaps the brown•eyed wife of latter, wearing the Spanish colon of flame-color and black—the flame color a strange admixture to lire the blood—ball veiled by her rich Chantilly, and subdued by the luster ()Cher diamonds; here is the Count Turenne, beloved of the young ladies; hire are a cluster of youthful German nobles ; here the Baltazzi Effendi does duty for his whole legation ; here is Madam . 1a Marquise do Chambrun, pele•faced, ealin, looking like prints of her great ancestor, Lafayette, enough to endear her to all our hearts ; hero Madam Catacrzy moves along, a superb piece of Northern grandeur, golden-haired, blue-eyed, hlgMcolored, her waxen shoulders rising from the sumptuousness of black velvet, and a web of black illusion gathered beneath a rose In her hair, and falling all around her like a shadow. Here conies the Secretary of the Treasury, quiet, handsome, grave—with him his pretty daughter, Mies Georgie, lioutwell, proudly exhibited by her countrymen as a typo of the New England girl ; yonder passes Gail Hamil ton, rosy and happy, with Sydney Hyde, whose great olive•colored, eyes have danced just as gayly over European crowds. If you wait long enough all the Senators and Mem bers will pass In review before you—plctu resque Fenton, the bluff Chandler, the Athenian Conkling, and a host of whom the the sight Is so common that strangers are more distinguished, but all of them provided with the prettiest partners they could find. Here came some Cuban ladies, lovely patriots, their jewels flashing less than their eyes, their silks polo beside their cheeks, as they work for their Island in the midst of pleasure ; and here Mrs. Senator Ames in her radiance moves be fore you. She wears white Satin, shoulders and train edged with deep swansdown ; a cluster of oriental pearls is in the lace at her throat, and high in the mosses of golden hale that wave and glitter around It a great white lily trembles. She passes, and others take her place; ruddyfaced admirals roll along; here tramps the General of our Armies, find ing something before him of which he really is afraid—a lady's train ; hero stands Morris who sunk the Cumberland, Ler guns firing, her colors flying ; hero is Gen. Cushing, keen' dark, alive with nervous energy, talking with Cushing of the Albemarle, whose wild eyes are looking out for fresh danger and excite ment into which to plunge ; and here—hero the.band put up their instruments, the crowd suddenly disperses to the tour winds, and Is no more, dated reigns In dressing-room 'and vestibule, and out of the outside night t thorns of shouts and outcries resounds or calls for coaches, of oaths and answers—and the Levee Is a thing of the past.
