There he is—a tall, raw-boned, large-handed man, scarcely yet in his prime of life—a giant if he were fed—a giant who might dig, forge, or mine, or saw or plane at a ship’s ribs, but made what he is by visible starvation. His hands are bare. his single-breasted clerical looking black coat ia so old and thin as to be no shield against the bitter blast which blows; yet he plods onward with a ready step, and winding his way from a great breadth of leaf less trees to this bleak upland in a solita: part of Windsor Forest, finds what he evi ently seeks—a very ancient holly-tree. Its situa- tion is peculiar, for it stands alone on the edge of a greatelump of brushwood. Its size is enormous. Itmust have been swept by the winds and seen the snows of countless winters, as well as given garnish to the festivals of inany generations; r its leaves are still sreen—its coronals of berries transcendant in their ruddy beauty. Of these, after much se- lection and ‘climbing, the poor, cold, red- the most beanti- jist ask sheer? “ Dear me, I’m pray walk in, sir. by the cards a bit. move your chair. year; she wur not hended_giant plucks one of Tul—strips it all accessories except a few surrounding leaves, and then, opening the breast of his coat, hides it within, where frost cannot touch it. or wind wither. Then, after ® moment's pause (to note, as it were, the bearings of this wild and solitary scene,) he retraced his steps more swiftly than he came. Through some al of forests land—along sol- itary country by villages and farms he goes; never resting, never pausing, though he looks more and more cold, hungry, weary and dejected. At last he reaches ilway station little beyond Windsor, and a train coming up, he speeds on his way to London—a third-class passenger with a return-ticket. He is cold a tidy sort of man, Thereon. noticed her cryin pen in a public “Yes; I have come up this afternoon.”’ Meier A lad yee Fo shall be glad ‘ell you all we know, thou; the Quile’ ain’t friends of mine and Abel. 3 a us, at least they think so, though, as I often say to Abel, they’re far below us, if that which beats warm ani lovingly within us—our poor frail hearts—was weighed and measured.

Ican but tramp back to the North, and take sume rough work for a time; the spade or plow is better any day than the yard uieasure. But Emmy—poor ill-used one—can I leave you?” Presently, quitting the platform, he enters a waiting-room, where, warming his hands at # glowing fire, he looks round. He then per- eeives that he has been followed by a decent- looking man, who, arriving by the same train as himself, has the look of a stranger to Lon- don. He wears a good, but homely dress; he has an English face, but it is bronzed by for- eign suns; his ungloved hands show many a years’ rough work, and they are the more conspicuous, as in the one he carries anew two-handled basket of considerable size, and in the other a small paper trunk, carefully corded. The expression of his face is frank, but keen; whilst «look of mingled anxiety and fear may be observed. ‘How far,’ he says curtly to the poor, weary fellow whe stands warming his be- numbed hands, ‘is it to —— street, Knights- bridge?” “I'm going there, myself,”’ anawered Cold- in; child. before. than have a bit o’ gossip with our folks sometimes.

There—there, sir, the Quilchers are peopie of decent lives, though cruel and sordid. Dear me, how glad the poor child will be! Husband! put by the sacuepan for elder- berry, Em’s father must have something bet- ter.” The brisk little man quickly obeys. The office is one of genuine hospitality; and svon lemons, rum, sugar, a choice cake—stani kings and queens whisked and frisked awhile ‘Not any, thank you,”’ says tho earnest man, ue ‘“«T must go to my beloved bhild!

So, forgive a mis- tuke'’ Thus saying, and adding thereto a civil “ good night,’ he goes his way quietly, considering the weighty basket and papered box. Probably judging that the advice he has listened to is sound, the stranger, after a good deal of bargaining as to price, takes a cab, and is driven on his way; when it is two-thirds ac- complished, he puts his head out of the win- dow and shouts to cabby— ** Let me down in the nearest street, but not in the very one I've named.’ ““Werry well,’ says eabby, sulkily, for he hates # cheap fare: and adds as he drives pn, “ You're a werry suspicious gent, that yer are.

It is empty of customers; and the bar- ber's gowns. as the draught from the opened door moves them, float to and fro on their re- spective nails like headless ghosts; but the smell of soap and barber’s oil is oycMPowered by that of festal dishes, and a long, many-paned window,which is snowily curtained, and looks from a jacent parlor into the shop, shines like the divine eye of Charity herself. Thus eatered, the stranger knocks. Presently a brisk. crisp little old man peeps roumd the door of the circumjacent parlor. “It's a holiday time, sir; my young man ain't in, sir; the two apprentices, sir, has got a holi- day; and me and Mrs. Rasper is making com- fortable with a friend or two; so, if you can put off shaving, sir, till morning, sir,why, sir” —— “Thank you,”’ says the stranger, with a smile, I don't want shaving, only to ask you if any one of the name of Quilcher lives in this street?”” «Yes, sir; about ten doors down, sir.”” And he’s a linen-draper?”’ Yes, sir; in a poor little way, sir; don’t do werry little haristocratic business, sir, though a deal zs done in this street. Why, sir, through the season I've five walets to shave every morning; for you see, sir—and I take it to be & freak in natur—though my gentleman likes to shave my lord, he doesn’t do it for himself.”” ane he who is listening is deaf to much of i lin; is eye upon her. bitterly, and she h she spoke of you. were a draper ina he’s afarmer.
