There was a pause after that - ern=
phatic declaration, and . the listening
ceased tri be general. This was forte-
nate. Five or six- of the company,
rivo of them my mates in the hayfield,
close to whom .I. was sitting, had; .I.
soon found, a very bad opinion -of
street, and A knowledge of his antece
dents; As well as those of the Parsons'
family extending many years back.
"He's aim] sun, .I. tell 'ee, la Street."
'• Softly. Mind what you are say

by a nod of the head. ,
"Oh,.never mind lie; he's deafer nor

galls 'tin; I have been a woikin' wi'un

" Ile's a bad no, is Street, I tell 'ee.

like. an - under game-keeper 'or forester:
"-I summeredand-wintered lun-for-more
than' thit ty years, long •afore he was
such a big roan as he is now. Idu
know for certain—l could take my Bi
ble oath orrit—that he starved his poor
old mother to death only it, get hold of

Squire; and he thought that by steatite
the young 'fins safely away be could
bring shame and disgrace upon him,
lie's just the feller to spare no pains,
stick at nothiu', to do it."
" Didn't you know the Parsons's 7

didn't he 7"
" Yes, I think I aid know.the Par

were. There was mother Parsons who
Street married, and who soon after
ward's ran away with Joe Bates, the
travelling razor-grinder and tinker.=

" Wasn't Joe Bates in the army
once?" interrupted the pre'viousluerist.
He was; and being Vsebolard, rose
up, to - be a payin' sergeant. '.I here he was
licked;- Lavin' the dibs to handle, they
stuck to his fingers ; he was tried for
lalse accounts, and got two yPars' tread

" As 1 was sayhi', there was mother
Pinions and her two gale."
" Two gals ! I never knowed she
had more than one."
"Two, I tell 'ee. I knowed 'em
both from the time they was sixpenneth
of halfpence high. Wasn't they stun=
nin', beautiful girls I I, never seed such
faces and figures in my life, never !
and I've been' in Lennon, too, often
enough. Their names was Bet and
Nauce. Nance was the one the squire
married. I warn% much surprised at
that, knowing the sort of young man

real exultation.
Before I Went,.to bed that night, I,
by force of spending all the money I
had earned at mowing, by way of wet
ting my new place with the friends I'
had lett in the parlor, and cheaper
expedients, managed to find out with
opt appearing to ask for the informa
-tine, that:.the man who professed him,
self to be so well acquainted with Street
and the Parsemsjamily_was, an .trider.,
gamekeeper to the Earl of Nlalmeabury,
-a mah of very good character, and his
name John Blalte. I should - know
where to find him if he were walited

As Blake rose to leave, he said, sud
denly : -
" I .iny," addressing the man who
had questioned him 'about the Par
son's--" I say, Bill, there is one thing
I forgot to mention., .I'm pretty sure
t met mother Parsons about a year ago,
nt about a mile 'tother side of Plan
ford, She was dressed fine, I can tell
thee, if 'twas she, and as good-looking
as_ever. . She was ritlite in a chaise
cart drawn by a pretty nag, and, seein'
me, went by like the wind. At least,
I thought so; but p'raps, arter all, it
wasn't she ; I only glimpsed her for
alrout half a minim"
Saying that Blake left,
The notiiiti that dartml into My'head
when I first heard Blake apeak.of the
wonderful likeness between the twins,
Bet and Nance Parsons, was that,
Nance •M re. Tracy Shapcott, had really
c lee at Liverpool, the otter announc
ing her death genuine at lite time it was
written, and that the remembrance of
the surprising likeness, possibly an ac
zideutal meeting with Bet, Might have
suggested-the afterthought. Upon re
.flection I saw that could not,he the
case. - Mrs. 'Tracy Shapcott had been
seized With smallpox, and frightfully•
scarred thereby before she left the
neighborhood of Lpiditurat and the
woman who - had retin'ned" with - Street
waSalSo iiightfully seamed . and scarred
by smallpox I Mn - Fowler. and his as
sistant who attended during the dis
ease had both seen her since she re
turned It was very unlikely that both
sisters would be seized with and dis
figured by smallpox I Quite clearly I
had thoughtlessly jumped al au absurd
conclusion.
The dwelling place of Philip Street
was called-New Forest. Lodge. It was
a roomy, gloomy-looking ;duce, with a
large piece of garden-ground atta .hed,
but wretchedly kept.' Ilie panel-built
houre itself was in an equally dilapi
dated condition. Iu some rooms there
wore no grates, in milers the grates
were eaten up with rust. The paint.
brush had not been called into opera
tion fur many years. In fact, every
thing in and about the house was the
embodiment of desolation and decay,
with the exception of Philip Street's
own sitting-riotn ; that-was cosily fur
enough; and so, the old wither
ed woman servant told me, was the
lady's, Mrs. Tracy Shapcoit's bed
chamber, from which the lady" never
stirred out,,except occasionally to take
an airing, when she was carried down
stairs and placed in the carriage by
Mr. Street himself; and on returning
to New Forest Lodge sire was in like
manner 'lifted out and carried to her
bedchamber by Al r. Street. The with
ered of crone, the' only servant kept
except myself,lived, it was 'evident, in
terror the m st abject of her master.
She was fettered to his Rervice, I. was
quite certain, by a bond of guilt which
only death could break.- My inter
course . with her as with Mr. Street,
was carried on by the help of alslate
and pencil: Somehow the old haridati
took.umbrage, and conceived suspicion
of me frcm: the first, I heard her hint
as much to St"eet. He asked whi she
suspected me. • She could give no rea
son, except that, "she .didtkl, like my
looks," The very greatest. compliment
'ever paid me. Street knelled, badu her
hold her gabble, -and mind her work.
• Street kept a really handsome turn

horses; andline, welloinatlied animals

That evening Mr. Street passed en
tirely in Mrs. Tracy Shapcott's bed-
room He came out, and down - stairs
He wrote on the slate . that I was to
havethe barouche ready by nine in the
morning, as he was going-a rather long
journey and should 'not return until
evening. I asked if I was to drive as.
usual. Tlie reply was, "Yes, of course."
That night, before I lay down, I care
fully cleaned and loaded my tivo
volvers—a weapon much loss common
in England then than now. -
Mr. - Street rose unusually early, and
was closetted with Mrs. TraCy Shap-_
cott till it was.time to be off. He bad
breakfasted with her in the bedroom.
He gave me the slate before-mounting
upon which he had Written, "Take the
Plaitford and Salisbury road. - The fin

Plaitford, thought I, as I settled my
self on the box ; Phitfords! what do I

Hanford that Blake thought he saW

and woman came out to receive Street,
with whom they heartily shook hands
The man was, or at least had been, 'a

an unmistakable military air and bear

"Have you heard anything?" asked

he had, of course, brought with him,

road. Bait the horses there. An hour's
rest will do, as I have determined to

On I ()rove, meditative,' but very ju
bilant. I was still more confidiSnt than
ever that "she" who was yet more ner ,
VOW than Street, was "Bet." • Why
should Nance, if she were 'Nance, tie

portmanteau, carpet-bags, &c. Back
into the house flies the woman—she is
now thickly•veiled; and brings out two
children, two of the sweetest children
I' have ever seen, notwithstanding that
both are sobbing violently, spite of the
woman's savage threats, alternated
with equally savage blows. They are,
I should say, about five and four years
of age respectively; but they are boys;
their hair , is jet black, and close-crop
ped—their complexions are brown.
The children were girls/had light au
burn, curling .hair, and, fair' complex
ions. The boys are forced into the
carriage.; I shut the door of the bar
°ache. spring up upon the box, seize
,the reins, and off the tits spring. At
the instant the wheels turn, one of the
children screams piteously, the other
bursts out with, "Save me ! save me !

_voices`

the flashing conviction excited, that
these feally were the children of whom

BA 'TING ON THE BRINE
Notwithstanding the legends end

that the Rhine is of quite as much im
portance now as it was when its banks
*eie it tested by the robbers, A little
romance has done much- to throw a
veil-over their dark deeds, so the world
does not regard them as great criminals

period. The present inhabitants of
the Rhine valley, and of the streams
which are tributary to this great river,
now turn its waters to geed account,
making the river of romance serve the
more laudable purpose of commerce
The great timber rafts which are met
so often are objects of great interest to
the traveller, and must also be to the
reader.
These immense rafts appear in the
distance like floating islands, with vil
lages and country houses upon them ;*
indeed, they are considerable worlds in
themselves. They are the produce'Of
the immense forests that lie along the
rich valleys and high mountains of the
Rhine tributaries, the placid Eeckar,
the rushing Main, and the crystal Mo
selle. Perhaps it was quite a, year
ago that the inhabitants of some of
these timber localities 'conceived the
idea of uniting their strength and
means, and floating a raft into the,.
Rhine;.thence through this great thor
oughfare into Holland and the Neth
erlands, where the upper country
timber is very valuable, and sells at a
good round 'figure. So they all set to
work as one man, felled the' giant
truuks,_ slid them • down the steep
mountains, rolled them into the river,
and united them together with strong.
thongs! and bolts. When the whole
structure is complete, houses are erect
ed upon it, yards and pens built- for
the-cows-and pigs, and the whole vil

their entire domestic economy—spin

earth of the valley are milled upon
the raft, pluntea with

corn, which will grow and ripen before
the huge structure reaches its destina
tion and-fs sold. Everything-being rea
dy, the supplies all aboard—meat, pota
toes, wine and beer—the great snake
like float is given to the current. The
villagers that are left behind wave their
hats and bonnets as it floats off, in re
sponse to those on board. But, believe
me, they had much rather be one of the
party on the raft; for it is - considered
great fun • and not to .have been to

would see on the Hudson or the Sus--

America , ? •
The raft,we has just passed, making
its sloW way with the Current, started
along while ago from the upper Neckar
—perhaps its timber came from the
great Black Forests above licidleberg.
It was 900 feet in length or therea
bouts. and carried an entire villdge.
At least one hundred men are required
to steer it safely thiough the rapids,
such as pre met with raider the Lurlie
or Bingen Lock. This they do by
means afl long poles, which extend int ,
the water, but it is hard work, and re
quires both a skillful hand and a prac
ticed eye, as well 'as great knowledge
of the rocks, shoals and whirlpools of
the river. Sometimes the people on
the front cannot see the whole of the
r Ift, for it has become a semi-circle ir k ;
twisting around a sharp curve in the
stream. You observe that everything
on board is working finely. Old wo
men axe spinning at the doors of the
little houses ; young ladies with flaxen •
hair and very verdant looks,'are sow
ing, or peeling potatoes ; young men ,
are lounging'about in the sun, smoking
long pipes and chatting 'among them-
eelves. Under a large shed the din
ner is 'emitting, enough for the entire
village. If we had only pasged them
an hour - later, perhaps they would all
have been at . .the table. It is a gay
scene, and just one's idea,of •'-roughing
it." Ifßulwer had put his "Pilgrims"
on a raft like this, I am sure that Ger

GENERAL SLOCUM, in his lecture, on
" Military Lessons :of the War," tells
the following story. in his reference to
the, battle of Bull 'Run :
"The influence of, our officers , over
their men, and the state of our discip
line, is best illustrated by an incident °
which occurred on the field of battle.
An officer, who has since become very
prominent and well known thronghout
the country, was then in committal of
a brigade on the right of our line.
While riding over the field, be discov'-
ered a soldier concealed inn bole in
the ground, which was just of suffiCient
dimensions to afford.him shelter. The
general lodeup to him, inquired Os to
