THE TIMES, NEW BLOOM FIELD, PA., JANUARY 21, 1870.
delicate yet spirited beauty The ply
of expression In her changing fttoe, the
delicate grace of her tiianner, In which
a naturally lively dlKposUlon.lmpnsslon
0il and full of enthusiasm, alternated
with the results of her conventual train
fug, the (lowiicust modesty and silence,
the humility and self-distrust of one who
had looked forward to, and might yet
lead, a life of eelf-denlul and poverty
and obscure toll. Nothing could be
more odd or more charming than these
fluctuations In her manner never ah
rupt, but melting Into each other with
a bright and unconscious vaiiety.
Mr, Clarence Hurkhardt was enrap
tured by what he, hackneyed, in the
jworld'a ways, considered coquetry, by
4icr friendliness to himself, by the wll
lingness of the family to allow his
oouslnly claim by every thing. In short,
. but the presence of Charles Wilson.
Hose, on her part, was delighted with
her two gallants, and puzzled herself,
jiot only then, but afterward, to decide
which was the handsomer and the more
agreeable. They were strikingly alike,
both tall, falr-liaired, blue-eyed.and witli
features for which one description would
do ; but the manners and expressions
were different. , Wilson was proud,
Iturkhardt supercilious; the one, at
twenty-four, still retained some of that
boyish blush and roundness of cheeks
which had helped make his earlier beau
ty; the other, at twenty-flve, was thin,
wild of nu alabaster whiteness; the eyes
the younger were frank, yet sume-
time shy ; those of the other were cool
and Impenetrable. In flne,Charle3 Wii
, was romantic and high-hearted, and
.' his friend and rival bluse and skeptical.
Mr, Burkhardt was so well pleased
with his reception that, on taking leave,
' he proposed to come the next morning,
. and 'take Rose anil Mrs. Cool idge to
drive.
"Thank you," said Hose, who had
not yet learned that the fashionable
v morning is from twelve to two or three;
"but I am engaged every morning and
all day to-morrow."
Nothing would have induced her to
: set esttote her morning engagement. At
u (Ue o'clock she rose, and at half-past
Wve stepped into a close carriage whicli
hud been hired on purpose for her, and
was driven to the convent. There she
heard mass at seven o'clock, break
fasted with her old friends at half-past
aeven, wandered for a few minutes about
her beloved retreat, then started for
' home at eight. Nothing but a decided
storm prevented this drive, and then it
was not for herself she cared, but for the
driver and horses.'
It was but natural that this pro
gramme should change after a while.
The heiress was young and full of life,
and, whatever might be her future
course, It was surely , as well to see
something ot that society which eagerly
desired to welcome her, and of those
gayeties which no one could deny her
right to participate in.
A drive of six miles and back in the
early morning was rather an exhaust
ing way to begin the day ; so after a
while it was omitted though not with
out some self-reproaches and the horses
' were brought around in. the evening;
and, instead of the silent and solitary
prayer at dawn of day, she had the con
oert or play by gaslight.
. Then the Saxon families began to call
at the doctor's, and invitations poured
in , by . Bcores. Moreover, Rose had
. found an old friend in O , Miss
Tilly Raymond, her first intimate in the
convent, and Doctor Thayer, ever
thoughtful and indulgent, had Invited
the young lady to become Rose's com
panlon at the cottage.' '
l You are bo good," said Rose grate
fully, when he suggested this invitation
to her. " '"
" Do not be too sure that I am not
selfish in this," he answered, smiling.
" It is many 'years since my home has
" ' been so gay and pleasant as it has been
during the last three months.' I want
' i make the most of It while it lasts."
j Rose had gone to the doctor's study to
speak to him, and, though he seemed to
have no more to say, she still lingered.
His time was no much occupied with
"' his profession that it was 'seldom they
met except at din tier ,and then there was
always company. She wished to Bee
-him oftener.to speak to him more freely,
lie was always kind,but that very kind--siess
made her wish for more. She wanted
to talk with him ; to ' tell him all her
'thoughts all her plans and wishes; to
' -(earn, also, something of him. She
longed to hear him speak of that' lost
' bride, whom she had last seen in the
1 full glory of her morning loveliness and
' ' joy ; to know if he was very lonely ; to
hear what he was doing, what he pro.
posed or desired to do, what he thought,
' what he loved, what he hated. She
' could only guess it all, and his reserve
""tooth piqued and hurt her. Surely she
might be trusted, if no other was. So, on
this first time for weeks that she ' bad
seen him alone, she lingered, hoping that
,, ' he would detain her.'- But the 'doctor,
After pleasantly answering her, had ' re
turned to the book he was studying,
seeming to think that she had gone.
She waited a moment, then went quiet
ly out.
As soon as she had gone, he pushed
his book bank,
"It is very pleasant while it lasts,"
said he, " but she will get over this
fondness for me after she has been in
the world a while, and It would be folly
in me to allow myself to become attach
ed to her. If she were poor, and I could
keep her here as my child perhaps
marry her to Charles then It would do
very well: but I must not fancy that
my lonely days are over."
He sighed, and leaned his head on his
hand. , i
"I am afraid I have been very un
wise," he resumed, after a while. "I
was riot conscious of my loneliness till
I contrasted it with these gay comings
and goings. What shall I do when
they are all gone V I am afraid I shall
have to get married," giving a little
laugh" hilt to whom V"
He made an Impatient exclamation,
and resumed his hook, a frown and a
blush and a half-Iaugh coming all to
gether. The fact was that there were
many ladies who wereqult6 willing to
cheer the doctor's loneliness, and he
knew It perfectly well; and among
them was one at thought of whom, in
that connection, his face always red
dened In that half angry, half-ashamed
way. Mrs. Burkhardt was ten years
older than Doctor Thayer,and it was too
absurd to think of; yet he could not
hide from himself that she took partic
ular pains to be cnptlvatlng to him, and
kept him fully aware of her attractions.
He did not believe she was in love with
him, she never disgusted him with any
silly sentimentalities; hut she felt the
force of his character, she respected and
liked him, and she was fascinated by
him.
" I dare say she would made a very
good wife," he said, and put the subject
from his mind.
It was arranged that Mrs. Burkhardt
should leave the Hall in the autumn,
and Rose persuaded Mrs. Coolldge to
take up her abode tliere,and be castellan.
But, before going, the lady of the manor
proposed to give a party, at which her
young cousin and supplauter should
make her debut In fashionable life.
Tills party was a magnificent affair.
Mrs. Iturkhardt meant to abdicate roy
ally; and, besides, she had several ends
which she hoped might he served that
night. By displaying herself to this
unsophisticated girl as a woman who
knew perfectly well all the ways of the
world of which Rose was so entirely
Ignorant, she could obtain an influ
ence over her for the future ; then she
could further her scheme for Clarence
by impressing Rose's Imagination.
There were other ends which the lady
did not think of aloud. And, after all,
it would be a pleasant thing to present
to the world a girl whom everybody
was dying to see.
Parties are pretty much alike in their
general features ; every one has music,
lights, and Bupper. But few have
grounds bo capable of being transformed
into enchanted lands, with June sudden
ly come back in the middle of October
roses, or the scent of roses, everywhere.
The trees were full of birds, and three
di liferent hands were stationed in the
grounds. Mrs. Burkhardt bad regard
for the many pairs of lovers who were
to be of the company, and did not illu
minate everywhere. There were dim,
fragrant walks and groves, and , mossy
seats far from the bouse, where only
stars shone, and the sound of music
came faintly, In thrilling, intermittent
breath, , The house Itself was a beacon
to the country far and ' wide. There
were people in the city who sa( upon
their house-roofs, and watched through
spy-glasses the blazing windows of Rose
Hall, three miles and more away saw
the gay crowds pass up and down the
steps, saw the dancers, saw scattered
groups In the gardens, and on verandas
and balconies. Where all the flowers
could have come from was a wonder
even to those who knew the extent of
the hot-houses at the Hall. Every green
house for miles around had been rifled
for the occasion. Doctor Thayer had
gallantly ollered his finest plants, and
they had- been graciously accepted.
When he went there, he found them in
the place of honor, not adorning the
great crimson saloon in which madam
received her visitors, but In the boudoir
lined with rose-colored satin which Mr.
Stanley had had fitted up when he made
his last visit. After all, Mr. Stanley had
good taste,' his cousin had said, viewing
this exquisite casket of a room, when it
was completed. ' ' '
Rose watched with bright, wondering
eyes the glittering throng that ' passed
and repassed her, and gave a smiling
greeting to the new-comers, as Mrs.
Burkhardt presented them, with her
grandest air, to her " cousin, Miss Rose
Stanley." Doctor Thayer and Mrs.
Coolidge also stood by Rose, the lady
whispering observations on the people
they saw, the gentleman smilingly
guarding the "little nun" from a too
great press of admirers.' ' " "' ' 1 "
Not very far away, one might have
seen a handsome young man standing
persistently In the same place for an
hour, and watching this group with un
movlng eyes, only occasionally glancing
to where Mr. Clarence Burkhardt stood
smilingly receiving his mother's guests.
" Mr. Wilson," says a soft voice In
the ear of this watchful gentleman,
" who Is that lady In garnet velvet nd
diamonds the one who Is Just going
Into the muslo-room V To be Continued.
Four Days In a Snowbank.
SYHAcfjsfc, N. Y., January 7- The
great snowstorm which has completely
embargoed the Central Railroad since
Thursday last week was the most terrlflo
and long-continued known In the his
tory of the road. The first passenger
train which has reached Syracuse from
Buffalo since Thursday arrived to-night,
and will reach New York alout noon
Wednesday, bringing an unprecedented
accumulation of Western mails. The
amount of snow which fell was not only
unprecedented, but the wind for 'days
blew a perfect hurricane, making all at
tempts to open the road futile. The en
tire length of road runs through a wall
of snow plied up from ten to twenty
five feet high. Hitherto the roml has
always fought snow storms and pushed
ahead at all huxardS, but the elements
proved too powerfnl during the past
week, and the authorities were compell
ed to retire from the contest and await
the cessation of the storm. The hist
train to pass over the road from BufEUo
till this evening was the St. Louis ex
press, which left Rochester at4.8u P. M.
Thursday. When It left Rochester it
consisted of a "snow plough, eight
locomotives, ten passenger coaches anil'
several baggage and express cars. Ik
proceeded slowly east In the face of the
tempest of wind and snow until Sunt)
Cut, two miles from Falrport was reached.
Here the snow plough struck a huge
snow-bank so Solid that the plough and
all the eight engines were thrown from
the track. Five engines plunged down
the bank and were completely wrecked.
In the cars were (500 passengers. That
great loss of life did not accompany the
accident was simply miraculous. En
gine No. 478, the first to go down the
bank, had on board Clark Brunduge and
Mr. Clough, the road-master, besides
the fireman. The engineer was killed
and Mr. Ciough had a leg broken in two
places. Conductor John Holmes was
also seriously injured. The six engines
were scattered about the tracks in every
possible condition. Dr. J. B. Hamilton,
Surgeon-General, U. 8., was fortunately
on hand, and he did good work dressing
the wounds of the injured. Tn storm
raged all night fiercer than ever, and
the passengers in the wrecked train
giving up all hopes of relief, passed the
night without sleep. Superintendent
Burrows started from Rochester for the
wreck Friday with six engines, but all
got off the track a few miles east of
Rochester. The storm continued) Friday,
rendering all attempt to resoue the Im
prisoned passengers futile. In the mean
time the farmers living io the vicinity
forced their way to it Friday morning
and supplied the passengers with coffee
and baked beans. The conductor mode
his way to Falrport and succeeded in re
turning with a scant supply of provi
sions, which' lasted until Friday night.
On Saturday the conductor again went
to Falrport and returned with a sleigh
load of provisions. The 600 passengers
took matters good-naturedly and express
the highest gratitude to the farmers who
came to their relief even with a ' scanty
supply of provisions. On board the
trains were II. M. Twombly, sod in-law
of W. II. Vanderbilt, and his wife, and
J. H. Rutter, general freight agent of
the New York Central and Hudson
River Railroad. They bad been to
Rochester to attend the funeral of Geo.
Whitney, a director of the Central road,
and were on their way home. A number
of friends in Rochester on Saturday de
termined to rescue them at all' hazards,
and started in a four-horse sleigh, but
the roods were drifted so badly that they
were compelled to strike out across lots,
the farmers assisting then to cut away
the drifts. After herculean efforts, the
party succeeded in reaching the , train.
They found the passengers in pretty
good shape, as help had already reached
them from Falrport.
The dead body of Engineer Brundage
was in the caboose, the lower parU'-of
his body being crushed Into a Jelly, His
fireman lay alongside of him, having
sufl'ered the amputation of one leg, be
sides having his arm broken. Iu one
of the sleeping cam were lying Mr.
Clough, both of whose legs were broken,
Mr. Holmes, who was badly hurt about
the head, and Engineer McCarthy,whose
shoulder was put out of joint. All the
women were made as comfortable as
possible under theclrcumslances. Hav
ing shaken hands all round, the relief
party made preparations to return. Mrs.
Twombly, wrapped in robes and straw,'
was placed in the bottom of one of the
sleighs with her husband and Mr. Rut
ted Th return Journey was made In
safety, the Osborn House being reaoh.
ed In time for dinner. Although the
riding was somewhat rough, Mrs.
Twombly said she enjoyed the drive
Immensely, It being the most adventur
ous slelgh-rlde she had ever taken. The
embargoed passengers stayed iu the cars
till Sunday, when relief came, and the
rescued were brought back to Rochester.
Children Then and Now.
MANY parents In middle life or past;
are given to contrasting the condi
tiou of children to-day and what it was
when they Were young, greatly to the
disadvantage of the "good old times" Iu
point of privileges, but rather to their
credit as respects the quality of the chil
dren themselves. Bee how the children
are dressed, they say, what school
advantages they have what books and
periodicals are provided for them, com
pared with the dearth of such matter
even thirty years ago, and how all the
discipline and suppression of the old
times has been relaxed or done away
with.
It Is all true. The contrast Is very
striking. We are living in an era of
better times for children In many ways.
But is it a matter for serious head-wag-gi
ng or suggestive slioulder-sh rugs alone'
We think not.''. One of the most In
structive incidents illustrating this
change came under our observation a
few years-ago, In connection with a suc
cessful professional man. He had work
ed himself fairly haggard, after the
American fashion, and from a humble
benlning in life had secured' a compe
tence. His home was supplied with
every comfort and luxury needed for
the 'thorough enjoyment of his large
family of handsome and happy children,
and their sweet-faced mother. They
were dressed with strict regard to health,
but with an elegance that often caused
remarks, as the-father's care-worn face
and careless bublts were noticed. The
home-table was always lavishly supplied.
The best books, the brightest magazines,
the newest toys and other ministers of
childish happiness, were furnished with
out stinct. -
" How much more you do ibr your
children than for yourself," said we to
the father one day.
" Yes," he said, . and do you want to
know the reason ' When I was a boy,
mi the old hillside farm, I - was worked
like a slave. I wan-scantily fed on coarse
food that I could not relish. I was poor
ly clad, though niy father was a well-to-do
farmer, and coeattt to do right by his
children. He was not consciously un
kind ; but be saved-money for us at the
expense of our bodies and souls. I never
knew but one happy day till I was six
teen years old, and ran away and that
was the day my mother let me go fish
ing, and got such a berating from - my
father for her hardihood , in doing the
kindness, that I hated him from that
hour until I was free, and old enough to
know that he meant well.i But as I
lived that hard life I said to myself and
here the eyes of the stern-visaged law.
yer fifled with motature " that if ever
I became a man aad had children of
my own, nothing should tie too good for
them they should have the good times
that I hungered for and missed." . . .. . ,
Children are individuals. How often
that is forgotten by parenta or teachers
who seek to mold them In mass, like so
much clay. They have rights, even
more than obligations. They are not to
blame for being here. Having giv
en themselves children, parents are
under a natural and solemn obligation
to give themselves to their children, for
guidance, : sympathy, companionship
and love, as truly as for neoessory care.
All thi la entirely compatible with firm
ness iu family government, and con
sistent with that training in Self-helpfulness
and knowledge of useful work
which Is now too much neglected in so
many homes. . ;.!:
Learning a Woman to Swim.
He bad returned to New York with
his wife from a summer vacation at ' the
sea-side, and he stood in front of the
house giving a friend a graphio account
of the season's pleasures. ' '
" Went in bathing every day," he ex
claimed, enthusiastically, . . ' i
" Ah I" responded the friend, m Wife
goin too?" -
Oh, yes,every day," said the return
ed vaeantionist. . i p; ;
" Can she swim 1" queried the friend,
with some interest, i ; . . ,
" No-o-o, she can't," was the reply.
" She tried and tried to learn, but some

said she couldn't get the right kick, and
I let her think that was the reason, but
the fact was" and be looked up at the
house, and sunk his voice rnto a low

shut long enough to take four strokes
