But he, calmer than she, lets her weep spon his breast, whilst he closes the door. Then, when they have mingled their tears together, and he has com- forted her soul by telling her he has come to feteh her, and they will never be parted any more, he sets her down, and she leads him to the kitohen. The fire lends cheerfulness. but does not hide its look of sordid squalor, or dis- ise its unwholesome smells. Everything ristles with locks—the salt-box -end the can- dle-box have each a padlock—tangible signs of the soul which put them there—for where there are many locks there, be sure, ia mean- ness of soul, and nature in its 16Wness is of the coarsest human clay. He sets her on his knee; he wonders at her pe face, though thin and pale; he kisses er poor chapped and swollen hands; a blessed mendicament which, be sure, will heal; he lets her heap lie upon her breast, and mingles his tears with hers. For many minutes they sit thus in silence, she only breaking it by one low pathetic cry, ‘Father, father, take me awa. “ THREE KNOCKSAT ILCHER’S DOOR. [continceD.| ‘Great hands,’’ interrupts the sober earnest Stranger, ‘‘has this man large hands, a starved but good-looking countenance, and a thread- bare black coat? I met such a one an hour , at the Paddington station, and he said he lived in this street.” ‘‘ ay! that’s Samson, bun enough, no deubt. he looked.”’ says Mr: sper, a little recovered and at taik again; ‘‘and I’m sure, as I was biting the crackle of ge logy little iggy-wiggy, I thought to myself, with some- ied likes troabl conscience. If I'd asked Samsor to have taken a bit o’ dinner with us, 1 think crackle, stuffing and sauce, would have been all the sweeter. But, Heaven forgive us! these pints of conscience comes mostly too late with all of us.”” ‘‘My dear,”’ said Rasper, hastening to usurp this pause, “when I has a gentleman in the ebair, I like to finish my story. You see,” he says, with a hand aad Aout like a solemn judge, ‘‘Samson has been a good creature to little Em, wiping away her tears as innocent- ly as a brother would, I’m sure. He don’t see much on her except at meal times—for the Quilcher’s always dine in the kitchen—and maybe a bit at night, when he goes down to warm his hands before he goes up to his mis- erable garret. But he’s hushed her sorrow after many a blow—for she’s told us as much, the few times we’ve seen her, and made her merry in that hideous den.” «Such a place for black-beetles,”’ interrupts Miss Tallow, who is a neighbor lodging hard by, “they come forth in armies at night, and little Em’s terror was dreadful, till Samson brought something that scared them off a bit. Poor child, without fire and candle, and the beetles crawling up the very bed, for she sleeps in the kitchen, in a turn-up by the sink, and the bad smells, and the rats, and a lock on everything, even on the werry salt box, wh “ Miss Tallow is a romantic reader of penny- a-liner literature, and were she a writer, her- alded to posterity by the trump of fame, it would be as an apt disciple of the Radcliffian school, but being no more than a hatter’s fore- woman, she sums up her small climaxes of horror, with all the simplicity of nature's rhetoric. Unable as it seems to hear more of this tragic recital touching Quilcher’s kitchen, longing to press his child to his heart, and kiss, maybe. to healing the wounds which stripes and slavery have made, the stranger mises and moves to go. “Sball I come with you,” said Abel, “and show the door?’ “No,” is the reply, “I would rather go alone.’ A desire no one harshly questions— for we are all of us conscious, that as dew is to the ripening fruit, so are quietude and pri- vacy to the tenderness which hallow and en- rich our pean & “Bring your child away,’’ says the little woman in a whisper, which angels might envy. “: Cary sleeps here to-night, and Em can share her bed, and you can have that of our assist- ant, and be heartily welcome, too. Come back to us, and you shall find all ready.” “Thank you, thank you,”’ is the brief an- swer. ‘Ishall only wait for these people's return. My child sleeps beneath their roof no more.”’ He takes . his basket and goes; turning round upon the threshoid of the little parlor, however, to look back a look which is more — and touching than words. e finds the house; he ascends the steps. X 2 Twit, I will; only we musn’t steal away like thieves. We'll wait till these people come home. What time will that be ?”’ She says she does not know. It may be ten, or twelve, or even later. ‘* Well, we'll wait, for I must tell them what I think of their barbarous usage. But pack your things my dear, you must be all ready to go when they come.” She needs no invitation to this necessary duty. The little box stands ready; her things are very few, some sordid rags, and that is all. She shows her father the little frock, all that is left of the things he had given her, and tells him how she was crying over it when he knocked at the door. He does not answer, something is fluttering at his heart, and his voice is still. Whon the little box is ready, and her bonnet and ragged shawl too, she comes back to his knee and listens wonderingly whilst he tells that he is now no longer a poor man. That going to the Australian diggings he prospered there. Being a sober, catefal man, he had husbanded his gains, and when sufficient he had sailed to New Zealand and bought land there. This he had cleared, fenced, and plowed. and stocked with cattle, and built himself a log house and outbuildings. All this work ac- complished, he had left his farm in careful hands and sailed for England, where he had arrived about ten days before. “I made my way at once in Berkshire,’’ he continues, “and this without forewarning, as I was anxious to observe for myself how your aunt was dealing with you. For I had from time to time sent money to her for your keep and schooling. When I thus came upon her unawares, her terror was indescribable, and it wasn’t until I threatened her with the police that she confessed that she had kept the money, and sent you off to London two years before. Some of this money she reluctantly gave up, rather than see the inside of a jail. But I could learn nothing of you, except what little the neighbors could tell me of your going away. I came to London, I fasted son) to the public house where you had first lived, but there I lost the clue. After much weary search, I put the matter in the hands of the police, and went back to Berkshire, where, this very morning, I got a letter, saying a girl answer- ing your description lived in this street, with a small linendraper of the name of Quilcher. They were said to be coarse and cruel people, and from the claseness with which they kept you, caution would be necessary in making 204, watches him from behind the opposite | Sure if the girl were really you. 1 therefore Jamp-post. set off at once, neighbor Deacon driving me in a . . his cart to the station, and the Smiths, * eo —- mecune 3 Poem. - and Carters, and others filling this basket with pies and other niceties for you. So when I got to this street, and inquired of a hairdresser’s, were——”’ “On, father,’’ she interrupts, “that must have been Rasper’s. They are such nice good peorle. They learnt from Samson how hardly was used, and so they sent me many a little thing, or I must have starved. Once I got away and spoke to them, and they bid me give Mrs. Quilcher warning; but she wouldn't take it, and so——"? “She'll take it now,” he replied firmly, ‘‘and to-night, too. Well, Em,when you've had a few days’ holiday amongst our old friends, I shall put you to @ good school for six months, for I'm going to stay that time in England. I have to buy ploughs and seeds, and carpenters’ tools, and many other things, and look about me, to see if [can find a good honest feliow or two. who will be willing. if I pay their passage- money to the colony, to help me fora year or two with the farm.” Something has already crossed her quick mind; and it ison her lips now, but fear and prudence restrain it. “Now, Emmy,” he adds, after a moment's ause, ‘open the basket, and see what's there ‘or supper.”’ She has risen to obey him, first drawing the littie rickerty table near, when there comes KNOCK TWO ON QUILCHER’S Door. ‘Father,’ she says, quickly, ‘It's Samson, Mr. Quilcher’s assistant. Please don’t be angr: if he comes down here. You will like him, he’s so good; and he has been such a friend to me.”* She does not wait for assent or dissent; but, hurrying away with a sole scrap of candle, goes up stairs. The father smiles, but not in her sight, for he wishes to make his own obserya- tions first. For some minutes there is a great whispering in the narrow passage, where some one says he had better go up to bed; in reply are little soft dissents, till at last heavy feet come down the stairs, following little hesitating trip- ing ones. Then Emmy comes in; and her Father sees before him the stalwart large-hand- ed stranger he answered so curtly on the rail- way platform. At once he arises, and with plain,honest, manly straightforward frankness, holds out his hand to Samson. “I'm sorry, stranger,” he says, “at having been so rude to you, but men who’ve had to rough the world as I have had, are apt to get eurrish in their humor. yi did not then know you were my little Emma’s friend.”’ Samson is, of course, thunderstruck at all he now learns, and listens with bated breath Then in reply he has much to tell of little Emma and the Quilchers, and what both suffer at the hands Mr. Kneebone is _a small adverti ing tailor, witha a in the Borough—and a “ willa”’ at Peekham New Town. To dine with this illus- trious maker of shoddy garments, the Quil- cher’s started at 12. m., as the goose is to he on the board at two precisely. Prior to start- ing, Mrs. Quilcher has locked up everything, prs the water-tap and the front door. Even - this latter is under rigid quarantine. If un- duly opened the police are to Teport it, the chain is to be kept upand no knocks answered. The herring and two cold potatoes are left on a plate,a few cinders ina dust pan, but no candle, there being light enough from the gas lamp through the ‘+ airy-bars’” for a little girl doing nothing. ‘And if,’’ adds Mrs. Quileher, as she finally goes forth, “I find all right when Icome home, and the sewing I've set you done, and you in a meek and proper state of mind, asis right in a girl who twice this week had the impudence to tell me she was tired, I will reward you with a delicious rosy apple, only just begun to be rotten. but quite a nice one if that’s cutout.’ Thus, blessing her threshold, and lifting up the folds of her second-hand velvet cloak, Mrs. Quilcher fol- lowed her husband to the street. It is a cold and dreary morning to little Em. for the few embers in the grate have to be fed sparingly. and the coarse sheet she has been left to make has a long seam and longer hem. Bat by working gard half her task is done, when Abel's knock comes at the door. And she does answer it. in spite of ferbiddens, for herear tells herit is a knock of a friendly hand. Then, oh! the joy of seeing Abel’s dear old face, and aoe his essed gift. He will hardly stay to be thanked. but suying his dinuer is waiting, hurries away. Trem jing with excessive joy, little Em hastens down into the miserable kitchen, half dark ulready, and inspects her treasure, and renews her fire in quite an extravagant manner. Then, spread- ing a piece of } seg on the table for a table- cloth, she sets forth her dinner quite grandly. But she eats sparingly; puts by the best part of everything for Samson. She does not know exsetly hes he is gone, but a long way she fears; and when he comes home what joy she will have in placing the little delicacies before him, and watching while he eats. Poor Sam- son. Her life would be drear indeed, without his tender pity. Aye, and whilst she eats, some memories of her own short life dim her eyes with tears.

She would givea Takes to her father, but he, saying that he dined well to-day be- fore he started, insists that the hungrier man should have it. “For I suspect,”” he adds, still speaking to Samson, ‘that you’ve had little Christmas cheer to-day, for you looked so cold and hungry when I saw you on the platform. If not too bold, may I ask you where you’d been ?”’ (to BE conTiNUED.} - sees - Two Broruzrs Drownzp.—On the night of the 2ith ult., Jobn and Wm.
