_ Tnrati is nothiriglike goingaway. from a
place—quite out of sight—for getting the
true view of it. •
Now that I have lived away from Ded
dington a few years,—and twenty years are
but a few to look back upon,—l must con:
fess,•l see it to_bo a'plaee of- no - importance
whatever, commercially, arelneologically,
historically, or in any other way. •

my letters came addressed to "Dcddington,

office clerk in the three kingdonis knew
were Detichngto - q was, just„ as well MS he
knew where . Shiretown was,—or, for that
matter, where Northshire itself was. - I
could admit that; for correspondentsty.ritirig.
from'Ameriem or the Continent, or any
where beycifid setts, it was excusable to idd
PEorthshire," or “England;" but for cor
respondents dating from 'England, Ireland,
Scotland, or BurWick-upon-Tweed, I -.saw
no excuse wlnitever for any addition at all;
Since then, however, I have lived in many
places considerably larger 'even then Shi're'-:
town; and it has happened so often within
the last twenty years that I have mdt with

to Shiretown no less than threetays a weak,

would-hold ittlltti thousand;

there was always found some difficulty An
lighting it, es well as in filling it. The au
(lichee used to gather close to the lecturer
and his candles; and leave a groat dark void
behind.. And I used to think that if ever
should achieve greatiiess like that .of the
lecturer, and stand on a little platform

but, indeed, always deprecated them, and
seemed to have a singulartrespeet.and defer

seeing that they never, under any circum

knowledge; had not oven spoken .to each
other for many years.
"Old maid, indeed," be would answer her,
"I never feel sere, until you come into
breakfast, that you have not eloped in the
night."
And of course Ada, though not engaged,
had not reached five-and-twenty without
having the chance to be so. The simple fact
that she would not leave her father,
mid was cold to all advAnces, and that, as he
seemed to find all his happiness in her, she
was content to devote herself wholly to him.
It must be now about five years since my
uncle gave up to his two chief clerks the
business which, if I had bad the good luck
-to be-a-lawyer instead cif ri ci 'Ol engineerhe
would have given up to me. And- frau that
time-ho and Ada became more and more to
each other. lie took to travelling with her a
great deal from place to place. lie typed
all his investments into the simplest chan
nels, 'so that his income might dome to him,
whether from rents, or stocks,, or mortgages,
with as little trouble or anxiety to himself
its possible. In fact he sethis house imoider
that he might wait in peace for the day 'of
his departure.
The only exception that lie made in his
determination to be rid of business was, that.

.CoUnty Bank. It is now about two years
and a Half since he carried out, however, his
long-announced intention, and rysighed his
seat. He was persuaded tit the same' time,
neverthbless, to keep his shares, lest his bale
of them should danprgarfreebneern, in Which
he still had every confidence. ~
-,_ Up to that time I had myself had a few
shares in' the bank. 'But, on resigning, he
wrote me that so long as he had been on the
board he had considered himself in some sort
the responsible guardian of my interest, but
now he could no longer advisamie what to
do with my money. lie would merely say
that up to that time he knew the concern to
be thoroughly sound, and to be. earning
year by year the good / dividends it paid,
Now that he was leaving,-there was-to be new
blood infused into the board, and a new man
ager was to take the helm who was ambitious
to ex ten &Hi pir bus i oess..arni..und e.Etalte trans.,_
notions of much greater magnitude than they
had formerly taken in. hand. I must use
my own judgment, he said, and continue a•
shareholdur or not, as./-tbetigt best. •
Well, it happened just at th t time that a
favorable chance presented itself for me to
enter into partnership with my present part
ners, so I sold out my shares in the bank
and found employ_rnentio.r_ney_mone.y_in_
- b - o - iing so I confess, not without
many regrets at withdrawing from so flour
ishing a concern, and many migivings as
to whether I should ever again have from
my savings so coinfortable an addition to my
income is I had had till then."
These regrets ceased, and were exchang
ed for a profound thankfulness, when a year
ago, the new manager absconded; and it
'was found, that he had con:03140 1.1,:n; bank
to liabilities which rendered' it perfectly in
solvent, and involved the ruin of nearly
every shareholder in it.
• But my delight at my own escape was sad
ly tempered by regret that my good old un
cle was fatally involved in the great catax
truphe. ' •
The bank being on the
,principle of un

dellcieneies of the poorer proprietors, and ,

*ere to be parted for almostothe first time
in her life.
I think the prospect of this separation,
pained them more that night than the loss
of all their pesseisions. They sat all the
evening clltsped in each other's arms. And
she pilloived hit head upon her breast, as
be bad sopften pillowed hers.

very dreary round it was. The stair carpets
_were up„and_so were the bedroom-carpetsr
- The boards were marked by the print of
dirty feet, , for the elegant • and, superio , -
-household furniture and effects had been on
-- . -
Townsfolk who had never
crossed the threshold. before had been
*through every room in the house save ono.
Brokeits from ShiretoWu had sounded all
the chairs and tables and bedsteads. Every
thing was 'ticketed and numbered for the
sale, on the morrow.- Lot 842 was the gild
ed cage With Ada's love-birds, and Lot 870
was '‘'Nelly.", L 4 420 was her - harp, and•
Lot 421 hor piano. These things I marked
for my own.; - Lots 590 to 674 inclusive wore
my uncle's bookP, done up in bundles of
about half-a-dozen, irrespectiVe of subject.
I looked through these, and. noted it tew
parcels which contained his fat authors.
I noted the number of Some few choice piec
es of furniture, and then we returned to . the
- little roorn - where - my.uneld sat looking in
to the fire. He and Ada had sat there all
day, keeping the door locked,' while the
_tramp of footsteps` went on outside.
We did not sit long, however, before my
uncle went off in low spirits enough to his
bed. But Ada and I sat later side by sido
(on a favorite little couch),and_there--cve
had a conversation we are not likely to for
gets- Indeed we sat. and talked so long that
ii'''ivas morning before I went off to my rest
ing place, which she told me I should find
in Lot 127.
And-I wish I may never have a worse
lot than I found it. It was a good bed,in
which I had slept mania time before, and
I jotted it down as oho of the things I must
try to buy,-aloniwith-the little couch:----Bur
aman does hot find-.sleep-in-the- downiest
pillowunlesa,he takes it with him, and I
did not sleep ihat night.
Indeed,ae:;llreaklast-iime, -we none of us
looked much refreshed. And when the
_to.irosiolk_began-to-Come-in -again - for-their
vieW, it cost us some little effort to
rouse ourselves into decent spirits. Ada
went off- to a neighbor's to be out of the
sound of _the - auctioneer's-hansmer._ My.
uncle, however, Put on a cheerful counte-.
nancei -- stayed - at - harne, - and -- went stick-in
band, from room to room, and told the real
value of this piece of furniture and that to
friends whii wished to' purchase, and won
good-will and sympathy' in his misfortune
as he-had von respect and esteem in his
prosperity.
Amongst others remain old Miss Bellamy.
My uncle saw her coming up the stairs, and
draw-Pieback into a bedroom till she passed
and so kept of her sight till she had gone
from room to room, slowly, through all the
house, and loft it again.
After her came, in a little while, two re
spectable looking men, strangers to the town
brokers, it-was whispe'red;Troin London,—
round of the
house,-note•book - in hand, - chose for them
selves seats in front,-near the auctioneer's
desk, and the hour of sale being close at

rose, and he became very cheerful and live

when things went for more than he had giv

that nearly everything was being knocked
down either to them or, to other .strangers

In fact the townfolks got hardly anything.
