More than half a'centUrY ago the lit

trict, was ale scene of certain curious
and tragicar*eurrences, Which excited
much interest and commiieration.
Easedale has been described as one of
the most impressive solitudes amongst
the - WeAtinoreltindmountaine. Possibly
change has since come to it, butformerly
only some half-dozen houses were scat
tered about the floor of the valley, and
its
,miniath o re fields and meadows Were
divided and pareeled;Otit, note by thick
hedgerows, now by little sparkling
brook or "becks," not too broad for a
child to leap across, and now by close
lines and groups of wild growing birch,
alder, holly, mountain ilsh, and hazel,
that broke up the level look of the land,
and cheered the winter season 'by the
bright :scarlet of their berries. The hu
mid climate gave . .a lawn-like appear
ance to the small fields, and a barrier
of mountains, their heads usually muf
fled in mists, screened the valley from
the winds, while practically they per
mitted approach to it but from one
quarter-0 rassmere.
Other aceess'to it might be obtained
by miles and miles of rough 'walking
and steep climbing over the mountains,
but there was little to encourage enter
prise and exertion of this description.
Easedale was only a beautiful little val
ley among the mountains, and, as a rule
no tine' ever attempted to enter Its pre
cincts but by the pathway of Grass
mere.
In this solitude dwelt George and

THE CHILDREN IN THE SNOW.
I A TRUE STORY
Was said thaLthey professed to follow
the counsel of certain of their - friends,
in regard to' the - choice onroads, and in
avoidance of the most 'perilous- paths.
They were -lest seen, however, by the
attendants at the sale quitting the rude
carriage way', and mahing for the steep
side of the mountain.
" In the Greens' cottage at Easedale, by
the l side of a peat fire ? .crouched (heir
M' Children, waiting for their return.
Agnes, the eldest or the family,'- was
nine years old. The children were, of
course, NV holly dependent for their ally'
bread upon the labor of their parents..
Let'only a day pass,. land 'they must:
inevitably be brought to, the brink of
starvation.
Fdr five h o rs—fro ni seven tn
the children sat by- the lire waiting,
listening. Al length, Agnes • told her
sisters and brothers that they must go
'to bed. They obeyed, but fearfully.-
They . could know little of the danger of
'the but they were not too young
to read the alarm written upon their
sister's face. : Besides, the strange has
terrors of its own for children. And it
Was so strange that father and mother
had not returned long since from Lang
dalehead.
After midnight the moon rose bright
ly enough—to be clouded over present
ly4,however. The snow began to fall.—
Next morning the , ground, was very
thickly covered. The poor children
found themselves completely imprison
ed—cut off from all .communication
with the friends who would have help
ed and comforted them in the neighbor
ing cottages.. A ,stream skirting the
cottage garden was too wide, for them
to Ibai►. The wooden bridge crossing it
was unsafe. Several,Planks wore want
ing, and the drifting snow Concealint
holes which would have let a chil ,
drop into the rapid waters ; beloW.-- :
There was no sign, of George and Sa
rah Green.
The children clung to the' hope that
Atte severe weather had induced them to
'stop the night at Langdale. Yet as the
lay.wore on, they , were compelled to
relinquish this hope. They knew' that

Neu a soldier, an active, courageous
Mau, who.but for some dire calamity
befalling him, would scarcely have
failed,to force his way back to his fam
ily.
Gradually, a sense terrible enough, if
incomplete, of the awfulness of their
situation began CO awake In the minds
of these poor little ones. Yet, they
would seem not to have lost heart.
Their misery did notsomuch overwhelm
them, as it sharpened and in a measure,
matured their intellectual perceptions.
Hour by hour they became more path
etically convispced that they were indeed
orphans—that their father and mother
:were lost to them forever. . =
Yet, providentially; their e iergy and
intelligence were quickened by their
misfortune—stood them in godo stead
at their direst need. They' huddled
together the second evening of their
being left alone round their hearth fire
of peat, and held a little family council
as to what.was to be done toward send
.ing help to their parents—Tor a hope'
had occurred to them that possibly
some hovel or sheepfold upon the moun
tail:l'Blde might, be, sheltering the miss
ing ones, although they might be snow
bound by the hea 11 of the morning
—and in the next,pla to make known
their situation to thei , neighbors, in
case th e snow should - continue, or
should increase ; for, many days of
confinement to the house, it was cer
tain they would perish of starvation.
Meanwhile the eldest .sister, Agnes,
though gravely alarmed, exerted her
self to take all measures necessary for
the welfare of the little communitl—
was vain looking out from the cot
tage door. On every side arose a barri
cade of snow. Yet this consoling
thought visited the child's mind,—what
was peril in one direction was protec
tion in another. ' No such danger threat
ened her little household as might have
encompassed a desolate flock of Young
:children in other parts of England:—
If she and her sisters and brothers
could not advance to Grassmere, on the
other hand, the evil disposed, the bad
clifiracters and wild sea-fa/irk foreign
ers who sometimes entered the vale,
could not get to them. - The neighbors
of the poor are their friends and allies.
The children's greatest apprehension
was, that they might not bOable to ac
quaint the near dwellers witih their sit

plished, assistance was certain. Cheer

caused her brothers and sisters to kneel
down and say their prayers; and then.

there in a long captivity. '

that the clerk— A • s nearly krun dOWn,

scalded all the milk she colild-11 d in
the house, so as to save it from turnir '-
Sour. Then she examined the meal

meat porridge of the country, but put
all the children, except the two. young
est, upon, a short allowance, reconciling
them to 'this course and, indeed, per
suading them to think they were en=
joyiug a treat, by baking for them :Up
muthe hearth some thin small cakes,
out of a little hoard of flour she had
discoVered.
Next; before night eame on, or more
sue* fell, she went out of doors, and,
with the help of two younger brothers,
carried in from the peat stack as much
fuel as might serve them for a week's
consumption. She then secured, from
the stock of potatoes; buried in %rack,

finished—trying enough for a child of
nine years she re-entered the
house; barred the 'door, undresbe'd and
put to bed the smaller children', and
then sang them to bleep..

The news the frightene child br ught
,was sure to secure .her a hospitable

neither George nor Sarah Green had
been seen by their children since the
day of, the sale at Longdalehead. The
male population of GrasSraere at once
assembled in consultation. Some sixty

was one of considerabl danger. The

the searchers might easily share the
fate of those they sought.
It was necessary to depart from the
usual tracks, and in theicase of a fog,
or, still worse, a blinding snow-storm,
there was much risk of their being
themselves lost upon the mountains.—
Still there was no hesi ation. It was
felt that the poor lost n ighbors must
be found at all costs. The men of
Grassmere willingly s crificed their
daily earnings to toil without recotn
pence in (pea of the unhappy Greens;
yet day atter day the exploring parties
returned from a fruitless,labor. Every
inch of the pathway, from Langdale to
Easedale, had been examined, and a
large margin had been investigated on
either side of it ; , yet the traces sought
could not be discovered. We'll go up,
day after day, until we find them ! '
was the sturdy cry.
' It was necessary to extend the sys

WANTED AT TH CROSS-ROADS.
I was in a hurry &I reach home. No
wonder, for it was the wildest night I
had ever-known in all,my life, and the
country road over which I took my
way as bad and as dark as country roads
in general. Consequently I was walk
ing at a great rate, with. the collar of
my coat over my ears 4 and a comforter
tied over my soft hat and under my
chin, to keep it on and protect, my ears,
,when suddenly, a man stood full in my
path, and caught me by the arm.
'! Hullo!" said he. , You're just in
time ;- you are wanted at the Cross-roads
to-night !" • • .
The voice was the voice of a ruffian.
I fancied myself attacked by a high
wayman.
I stood quite still, and strove to shoW
him by my manner that I was al)I0 to
protect myself.
" What the deuce am I wanted at the
Cross-roads for! Unless I choose, it
would be hard tb get me there."
But instead of prod' ing a pistol and
demanding my money -or life, ) the man
answered in anialtered tone.
" Beg pardon ! I made a mistake. 'I
thought it was my' brother ; and wanted
to fri hten him. Bad, night, sir!"
" V ry !" said I.
"Y u doret know the time?" he asy l :
ed. - '
. "It was seven when I left the train
at L--'--," I said. •
" Thank ye," said the man. " Good
nightl"
If his object had been robbery, prob
ably he had decided, from my rough
mufflers, that I was too poor a man to be
worth' the trouble.
But after all, I said, .probably *he
spoke the truth. A man may have such
a voice, without being a highwayman,
no doubt.
So I went on homeward, and soon
found tnys i elf under shelter, and partak
ing of a warm and savory supper.
My mother was there and my brother
Ben. Ben was a greatl strapping fellOw
who could beat any, 'other boy of his
age for miles around, i it came to wrest
ling or boxing; and as good humored a
boy as ever lived ; a boy always to
mother and me, though he had exercis
ed his right to vote already in one Pres-.
idential election.
When supper was over and we had
chatted for an hour we went up stairs
together. W&share one room.
Tife moment Ben's head touched the
pillow he always Went to sleep. That
night J followed his•example.
But ;I did not sleep long without a
dreama dream in which I felt a rough
grip oil my arm, mid was aroused by a
cry in by ear.
-
Wake up! You're wanted at the
Cross-roads
It was so real, so palpable, that when
I started broad awake I actually be
lieved that some one*as in the room ;
the man who had met me 'on the road
perhaps, and who intended robbery or
violence. ButAvhen I had arisen and
lit my lamp, Thckroom was•empty, ex
cept myself and Ben lying snoring on
his pillow.
I went to the door it was locked, I
went td the window ; the rush of rain
against the panes was all I heard. I
even went across the passage to My
mother's room. She was awake; there
had been no Unusual sound she was
SU/C.
Only a dream born of my .meeting
with the strangs than upon the road, I
felt sure, had awakened me. I went to
bed and fell asleep again: Again I was
awakened by the Same words, this
time shrieked in my ear by an unearth
ly voice.._
"Wake up, wake up. You are want
ed at the Cross-roads.'
I was o my feet once more, and
caught Benshand as he came toward
my bed.' "What ailS you," he cried.
" Nothing," said t- " Did you _ hear

" Yours," 'said Ben,l " yelling wake

" Ben," said I, " w hat is there at the

" A house," said Ben: He had lived
in the neighborhood l a long while, and
I not . t long.
"One little house, besides two oak
trees and a fence. An old s man lives
there, a rich old fellOw, and a bit ; _of

" Ben," said I, ' " that fellow ma

." Brother," said Ben; "go to sleep.
You had a nightmare," and Ben plung

soon snoring again.
I also in ten minutes slept as soundly
as before, but the awakening came
again.
I opened • y eyes to see a girl .stand

WM.
PURCHASING A FARM.
Collector David Henshaw was a kind
hearted man as well as able ; but smart
as he was, on one .occasion, doing a
generous act, he was sadly taken in.
An old , customer doing business In Ea-1
ton, N. H. had failed, owing Mr. -H.'s
firm about:s.2,ooll After settling with
his other creditors, he came to see Mr.
"Well sir," said the latter, '!whatean
you do for u 8?" ,
"Have saved my farm for you I ; sir,"
replied the unfortunate.
"Your farm, hey," said Mr. H„ "and
what laaVe you got left?"
"Well, sir, a horse, a pig, and ' a cow,
and altogether I think they may bring
me about seventy-fivedollars—sufficient
I hope to get - myself and family nut
West, where I intended to settle ; by
the-way, here's the deed of the farm,,
sir," said the poor but honest debtor as
he passed the document which certified
Mr. IL's legal right to:.two hudfired
acres of land,_ "more or less," and long
known as the "Cold Stream Farm."
• "Oh, - that will never do," says' Mr. H.,
and drawing his check for $5OO, he han
ded it to his old customer, remarking at
the same time that he "was sorry for
his misfortunes, and • appreciating his
integrity, it gave him great pleasure - to
be able to aflbrd him Ea little help at
starting again."
The poor, fellow was greatly surprised,
and reluctantly taking the check,. 'with
a tear drop in each eye," heartilA
thanked his over generous creditor; ant
departed, but to be seen by Mr. H. nev
er more.
About the first of April following, Mr.
Renshaw thought he would go up to
Easton and take a look at his real es
tate. Arriving at about dusk, he "put
up" at the tavern kept by his old friend,
March, who on learning his. guest's er
rand, said he would go out I with hini
iiext morning and show him *her!) . the
farm lay.
Nekt day, soon after breakfast, the
two sallied out to see • it. After pro
ceeding a few rods, the old tavern keep
er hal Ceti, 'and directing his companion's
attention to a bare but very steep and
rough looking mountain, that stood a
few miles oil; remarked that "that was
called Bald Mountain."
"That's a rough looking place," said
the other.
"Well," continued the tavern keeper,
"the location of your property—the
`Cold Stream Farm'—is on the top of
that mountain."
"Yes, but how do you get there?"
"Why, you don't suppose anybody
was ever up there, do you, Mr. Hen
shaw
"Well, what's •the good of—what is
done frith it ?" ruefully inquired the

amazed, mer pant.
"The town=s lie itevery year for ,the
taxes," replie the tavern keeper.
"They,do, hey ?" says Mr. Renshaw,
"anti pray-tell me who in these pails is
fool enough to buy that style bf proper

, "Why, any of our.chaps around here

iMr. - Renshaw took the first °prior

you'd not have told the story, had not
a friend, asked him, as collector, to give
a man a place in the CustemlionSe, for
_cue reason, among and above others,
that he- was from New Hampshire--,-
whenhe gave his little bitof experience
with one of the Granite State men. t
• BETTER THAN NOTRING.—Wa recall
to mind the story of a good , old Metho
dist lady,. very particular and Very
pious, who once kept aiboxrding - house
in Boston. ; ; • ; • -
Staunch in, her principles, she- would
take no one to board who-did not hold
to the eternal punishment of a large
portion of the hunTan race. But the
people \yore more intent on carnal com
forts than spiritual faith, so that in time
her house becalne empty, much to her
grief and alarm. After. some time a
bluff old sea captain knocked at. the
door, and the old lady, prim as a Puri
tan, answered the call.
"Servant ma'am. Can you give 'me
board for two or three days? Got my
fillip here, and shall be oiras soon a.,s
load."{
"W!ia-1, I don'tknow," gaid - the nld
lady, hesitatingly. ' . •
"Oh,r`house full, eh ?"._
"No, but—, " • ._ •
"But what, 11301111?" ' - •
"I don't takiyany unclean or carnal,
people Into my• house. What' do you
believe?" -
"About what?"
"Why; dO you believe' that anybody
will be' dainned?" •

"Oh, t under; yea!" _,
"Do y u?" • said the old woman,
brighteni g up. "Well how 'many
souls wil be in n the eternal?"
"Don't lin OW, Ma'am, really- 7 -never
calculated that."
"Can't you guess ?" • .
• "Can't say—perhaps fifty thousaa .
"Wal—hem I" mused thegood. :wo
man ; "I guess I'll take you—Aftg thous

proceedings of the court ofimpeaehment,

heard is the question of a hired_ girl :
