A STORY OF ARLINGTON. BY L. A. GOBRIGHT. From the city of Washington, across the Potomac, cmbusomed in trees, Tay be seen upon an eminence, the stetely mansion of one who was the inmate of the family of the «Father of bis Conntry,"’ and who t it bears relationship, and waz christened with the name of the illustrious deceased. There are mauy reminiscences ciustering around the es- tate; and one I now pie eto repeat, detailed to me by the venerable and honored propiie- tor, whiie we together sat, about five years ago, on @ fallen tree, at Arlington,.near the gates never closed to the stranger and the dis- tressed About thirty years azo there came to Ar- lingten, in quest of emplcyment, 2 stout, formod uran, whom we shall call Ed i Byrne. He had left his wife and children in Georgetown; about three miles distant. Mr. Custis, in a moment, perceived that the stran- ger was addicted to intemperance, but thought that, by a proper course of treatment, he could avail himself of his services as a mo- ebanic. He was by trade a carpenter, and the Proprietor emp! him in building dwell- ings and baras on the estate. For months Byrne pursued his occupation, consenting, every week, to a curtailment of the allowance of ardent spirits. in those times deemed to be necessary to facilitate and give an additional spring to lsbor. No money was placed into his hands. The tailor and the shoomaker were brought to him for his measure, and am- be provision was made for all his comforts. he surplus of his wages, at the close of every week, was conveyed to his family. Mrs. Byrne and her children Kaa been re- duced to want by the intemperate habits of the husband and father, and it may woll be conceived that a remittance on Saturday was well calculated to cheer the drooping hearts of the necessitous family. Soon, the ineans fur sat- isfying hunger, and decent apparel, and a few household comforts, were in their possession ; and smiles were once more seen upon the face of the wife, and the merry laughter of the children was again heard; and the church and the Sebbath School were by them not neg- lected, 84 in the twelvemonth past. How many similar changes have taken place !— changes which shouid make the beart rejoice. But let us return to Arlington. The work of building was finished, and the employer and the mechanic were about to separate. The latter thanked the former for the interest he had evinced in his welfare; and Mr. Custis volunteered seasonable advice. Ned received it with tears; and with choked utterance and a clenched hand, extending it, as expressive of a determination to reform, said “you shall never see me again tf Ido not entirely, and forever, give up strong drink.” The proprietor and the mechanio bade adieu! Byrne returned to bis family, from the bosom of which he had long been absent. He was more than welcome now; be was “ himself again!’ The kind husband—the fond and donating father. They removed to Baltimore, {n one of the ship-yards of which city it was ascertainod Byrne obtained employment. Ten or fifteen years passed away. In the meantime the head of Mr. Custis was silvered, and he no more, or yery seldom, thought of the carpenter. It was summer. He had, in the heat of the day, taken shelter under a wide-spreading tree, to enjoy the breeze that came with coul- ing and refreshing power. Looking toward the gate, he saw approaching a gentleman, who, when he reached the proprictor, extended his hand, while a placid smile illuminated his countenanco, and made many inquiries as to how Mr. Custis had prospered, and many things pertaining to the estate, including the faithful slaves, sme of whom had descended to the tomb Some minutes elapsed before Mr. Custia asked the strangor his name. “Ts it possiblo,””. said he, ‘that you do not know me?” “T do not.”” “Have you forgotten Ned Byrne—poor drunken Ned—who built these houses, and made the very bench on which you are now sitting ?’?~ “I recollect him well,” said Mr. Custis. “And have I changed so much that you did not recognize me?”? Mr. Custis, without saying another word, seized Ned with both hands, and welcomed him heartily to Arlington. Ned had ‘‘entire!y, and forever, given up strong drink!’’ He rapidly recounted a por- tion of his history, from which it = ared that his eldest daughter was respectal ‘i married toa thriving merchant ; his son was a lawyer, and the other children were rapidly advancing to maturity, with bright prospects for the future. “How is business now?’ said Mr. Custis. “Mine is an extensive one; laborious, but — Bodily aye I have learned to ar from youth, and the consciousness of good intentions brings to my mind a peace and joy which the world cannot give, nor take away. Time, as you perceive, has added a few wrin- kles to my brow, but I have learned to believe that there is beyond the gravo a home where exists perennial youth.

Her mother wag imes alarmed lest her little girl should fall intothe snring and be drowned; but a good Providence that takes care of little eueree seemed to be always watching over er. The fairy talon of her nurse would, some- times, come to Annie in her dreams, and would seem to be not like the stories of the good uurse, but reatities; and she would see and talk with the elfia things, as though she were awake and they all around her. One day she was out in the garden. It wasa pleasant #f- ternoon in June, and she was running about, pulling a blossom here, a pink there, a violet from this tuft and a rose from that bush, mak- ing up @ bouquet, as little girls are very apt to do, when they get loose in a garden where all the sweet flowers grow. All at once, she heard a piercing little voice crying in great distreas : 4 Annie! dear Annie! Hasten to me! Annie! sweet Auuie! oh, set me free! Here in the tangle thorn, Ever since break of morn, With plumayeall soiled and torn, Heltiess Tie! Come, A: ! Come to ms— ie! set me free! Pp; or I die! Turning towards the place whence the voice seemed to come, Annie saw a little bird, like a robin, with plumage white as snow, that had got fast in the clustering and tangled branches of a thorn-bush that grow in the hedge. She parted the limbs and cut away the thorns un- Ui she could reach the poor little thing, and then she touk it carefully out of the bush and held it to her bosom, and it seemed to fondle and nesile there as if it were so happy! Well, after s white. Annie sat the little bird down on the ground, and it hopped gaily shout, and chirped aud sang so merrily, that Annio was wonderfully delighted; and this was the song of the little bird, as it uttered its wings and hopped along, now in the path and now on the grass, all the time moving towards the beautiful spring that came up from the rocts of the maple trees that grew in the corner of the lawn: Come with me, Annie, dear! oreded bot royes fear. own where the maples grow, Down where the as ie, ‘ Come with me, there! ‘There, in the fairy ring, ‘There will we flowers bring, ‘These will we dance and sing— Come with me, dear! Annie had never heard a bird talk, and yet she wax neither surprised nor frightened, for her nurse bad told hera thousand storics about little birds’ talking, aud there was something so loving in the voice and the song, that she followed without once thinking that there was anything strange or to be afraid of. So the litle bird hopped along before Annie, all the time talking aud singing, uutil they came to the spring, where Annie sat down on the green Srass, and the little bird beside her, under the shadow of the maples that grew over the foun- tain that came Lubbling up by their roots. Ali at once there was u great shout—uot great for its loudness, like the shout of a great many strong-vvieed mon, but of a thousand tiny litt!s voiges not louder than tho cricket's, but sweet and joyful as the music of harps, all among the spreading branches of the trees above her. So looking up, Annie saw thous- ands of little people, not larger than her thumb, clustering and swarming like bees on all the branches, aud among the leaves of the maples. They had little wings like the humming-bird’s, aud they were so beautiful, and sang so sweetly! Presently they all came down upon the green grass, and danced and sang around Annie and tittle bird; and it was a pleas- ant thing to see how lively and merry and happy the elfia thi After a while they gathere| around the spring, and one after another dropped in until they were all gone, aud the little white bird followed them—and Annie heard their sweet voices growing fainter and fainter until they died away, down in the depths of the fountain. nuie was grieved to see these little people and the beautiful white bird go down inte the water, aud tears gathered in her eyes when she thought they were aildrownel. Prescatiy a chorus of voices like the sounds of a music box, came up from the fountain, faint and far off at first, but coming wearer and nearer, till it seemed right in the spring, at her feet, and she heard tlie song of thousands upon thous- ands of sweet little voices: Dear Annie!

Pre- sently they gathered into @ ring and jolni hands in 8 circle about her, around and aroun they went in a merry dance as if sumething wonderfully detighttat had hoppened; and as they circled about her, this was their sung: Ilappy are we!

After a little while they came clustering around her again, and the blossoms, and little flowers, and wreaths, and chaplets, and nc ys, came falling inte her lap and upon her shoulders, and on her head, like snow-flakes, till she was well nigh smoth- ered by the joyful kindness that the elfin things bestowed upon her. All the time the garden was fall of music. Every leaf, and every flower, and every blossom, seemed to be like a harp-string, soft to be sure, but full of sweetness and melody, and the se of the little peple caine echoing back from the trevg and sarnbs, and flowers, as they sang: Above in the tangled thorn, With plumage all soiled and torn, There lay our Queen. kana where _ sont ee creep, ‘here woere t! scTpen' sleep, Lost had she been. ’ Nad Annie not heard her moon, And to her relief had fiowa, Setting her free.

Just then when little Annie was so h: > the heard the voice of her mother calling her, and she started up from the cushioned seat in the summer house, upon which she had been asloep, and found that the little white-plum- aged bird, end the little people, and the songs ot the fairies, and the beautiful garden down beneath the epring, and the great diamond and the mousic of the blossoms and flowers, and the Fairy Queen, were all a dream.
