James Istacl, eutbbket "Niers eke
gees autlthere the gees.”
James black holds a well nigh solitary
-position in literature, as one who, deprived
'from childhood of the faculties of bearing
and spekeh, has yet been able not only to
.acquire by education a full enjoyment of
the intellectual riches of the race, Mt- to
add his own contribution to the vast treas
ury. Ile was born in the city of N6W
York, a son of a merchant, who, by the
loss of his fortune in buSitiesq, was unable
to afford him any educational advantages.
The want was, however, Supplied by the
taro of a sister, who taught the child to
read before ho was four years old. The
activity of his mind and ardent thirst for
knowledge, carried him rapidly forward
to this point, until in his ninth year, an
accident entailed upon him a life-long mis
fortune.
As he was carrying a little play-fellow
in his arms down a flight of steps his foot
slipped ; to recover himself, be caught

falling nrin him, injured his head so se
verely that he lay for several weeks with

were irroimearlbly destroyed,,, The loss

Tom nit.i the landlord in amaze
Stated at the clock in stupid gaze,
And for n moment neither spoke ;
At lust the landlord silence broke.
"You moan the clock that's ticking there ?

The landlord said with grin admiring,
"What waeer was it?"

"Weil l if I would, the denim is in it?"

This made the landlord only , scoff ;
Be heard them mining down the stair,
Ant was not tempted from his chair;

GETTYSBIJRG, PA,, FRIDAY EVBNING, M , ARCDI4, toot
'A Night scene 1p Losidoe.”
Under this headiog Dickens gives, in
Household Wordaifthe following descrip
tion of what lig witnessed one night out
side the Whito-chapel Wtirk.house. What
a scene for the metropolis of the Chriatian
world, and what a commentary upon the
arrogant assumptions of its pseub-philan
tropes, whose charity is Wasted upon im
aginary evils in distant lands, while thou-
Rands are starving almoat at their very
doors I
'On the sth of last November, I, the
conductor of this journal, accompanied by
a friend well known to the public, acciden
tally strayed into Whiteehapol. It was a
miserable evening, very dark, very muddy,
and raining hard. There aro many word
bights in that part of London ; and it has
been well known to me is moat of its as
peels for many years. We had forgotten
the mud and rain in slowly walking along
and looking about us, when we found our.
selves, at eight o'clock, before the work
house. Crouched against the wall of the
workhouse, in the dark street, on the mud.
dy pavement stones, with the rain raining
upon them, were five bundle of rags.—
They were motionless, and had no resem
blance to the human form. Five great
beehives co'vered with rags; five dead bo
dies taken out of graves, tied neck and
heels, and covered with rags—would have
looked like these five bundles upon which
the rain rained down in the public strew.
'What is this r said my conipauion.—
/
'What is this ?"Soine miserable people
i rhut not of the casual ward, I think,' said
I. (Mr. Dickens then describes his inqui-
Hen in the work honse. He found that the
women were shut out simply because the
house was full.)
1 Wo went to the ragged bundle nearest
) the workhouse door, and I touched it.—
No movenieuts replied ; I gently shook it.
The rags began to be slowly stirred within,
and by little and little a head ;was up-,
shrouded, the head of a young, women of
three or four and twenty, as I should judge,
i gaunt with want, and foul with dirt, but
not naturally ugly. ''Tell us," said I,
stooping down, 'why are you lying here r
'Because I can't get into the work-house.
She spoke in a faint, dull way, and had no
curiosity or interest left. She looked
dreamily at the black• sky add the falling
rain, but never looked at me or my 'com
panion. •Were you here last night f'—
'Yes; all last night • and the night afore,
too.' Do you know any of these others t'
'I know her-next but 'one; she yes here
last night, and she told me she come out
of Essex. I don't know no more of her.'
'You were here last night, but have not
been here all day r •No ; not all day.'—
'Where have you been all day P"Ahout
the streets.' 'What have you had to eat.'
—'Nothing' 'Come,' said I. 'think a lit
tle. Ybu' are tired rind have been asleep:
and do not quite consider what you are
saying to ns. You have had something to
eat to-day. Come ! think of it."No, I
haven't. Nothing but such bits as I could
' pick up about the market. Why, look at
Ime I' She bared her neck, and I covered
lit up again. •Ifyou,had a shilling to get
some supper and a lodging, should you,
, know were to get it r 'Yes, I could do
that.' For God's bake, -get, it, then.' I
I put, the money into her band, and she
feebly rose and went away. ,She never
thanked me, never looked at me, melted
away into the miserable night in the
strangest manner lever saw. I have seen
many strange things, but not one this has
left a deeper impression on my memory
than the dull, imptesaive way in which that
worn.out heap of misery took that piece
of money and wait lost. One by one I
spoke to all the five. In every one inter
mit and curiosity were as extmet as in the
first. They were all dull au& languid.—
No one made any protection or complaint;
no one cared to look at me ; no one thank
ed me. When I came to the third, I sup
pose she saw that my companions and I
glanced, with a now horror upon us, at the
last two who had dropped against each 'cith
er in their sleep, and were lyinglike bro-
ken images. These were the only words
that originated among the five."
The Drunkard's Daughter.
That night I was out very late. I re
turned ny Lee's cabin about 11 o'clock.—
As 1 approached, I saw a strange looking
object cowering tinder the low eaves. A.
cold rain was falling. It was late in au
mom. I drew near and there was Millie
wet to the skin. Her father had driven
her out some hours before ; had laid
down to listen for the heavy snoring of his
drunken slumbers, so that she might creep
back to ha, bed. But before she heard it,
nature see med exhausted, and she fell into
a troubled sleep with the raindrops patter
ing upon her. I tried to take her home
with me ;- but no, true as a martyr to his
faith, she struggled from my arms, and
returned to her:own dark and silent cabin.
Thinga went on eo for weeks and months.
Bet 'at length Lee grew less violent, even
in his drunken fits, his self denying
child ;MIA one day , when be awoke from a
heavy - slumber after a , debanch, and found
her preparing breakfast for him, sod sing
ing a childish song, he turned to her and'
