THE EVENING STAR.

And now——Well, well.” We drove through the old scenes—past our cbailet, past the gate, and the path where Rose Sebiile, who had become Stamffer, sobbed out ber adieu, with the rest—past the old plane- tree avenue; and the little —— which I had parsed many an hour catching little pale-green Spectres of }, the like of which 1 have never met with elsewhere. Then on it Chillon, always at our side the deep blue and, be- yond, the royal Alps of Savoy. crowned with cloud and snow, and smiling or frowning as the sunshine or the shadows fell. “There is Rose Stamffer’s mansion,” said my companion, pointing to a pretty challet on the sideof a bill ‘We left the high road, and turned into the roach, under the cool shade of an avenue offimes. It really seemed a delicious spot. here was a largecourtor farm-yard at the side of the house, across which le were bastily passing and repassing. vidently something of an exciting nature was going forward. We rang a large bell, which gave forth what seemed an unnecessarily vocifer- ous peal, and was responded to by several dogs, that burst forth barking furiousiy. Then appeared a female form, with bare and red- Gish arms, a wide good-natured face, fringed all round with little light curis,and a waist of considerable size, girt with a discolored apron, which the wearer sought to undo, but, fg, triced it up round her portly form. am so glad to see you, doctor,” she called out, in @ voice, which, though sweet, was cer- tainly loud. +-Marie has cut off the top of her thumb, and 1 am sure you can sew it on nicely again! How untidy lam!” (This in a series of melodious shouts.) +1 am not fittosee any- body! We have just milled apig, and we are cing to cut him up! Madame G—'s young re come to help us with the sausages! 1 beg your pardon sir” (to me:)“pray walk in. This way.” i saw my friend sup; ing his laughter as we went away—stumbling over chairs, bencn- es. &c., that bad been brought into the pas- sages from the kitchen, tobe out of the way of the porcine solemuities, to which in middle. elass Swiss establishment, everything suc- eumbe at least once a year. Presently the suffering Marie, accompanied by the top of her thumb, was conducted into the room. She bad endured much pain, and —alter the manner of the poorer Swiss, wnen attacked by malady im an part of their frames —bad tied a handkerchief over her head! The thumb was quickly restored to its pris- tine shape: and then the doctor, turning grave- dy to a stout lady with the rosy arms, quickly observed: «Madame Stamffer, here is a gentleman who desires to kiss your hand! Surely you remem- ber Frank C!” There was a little scream, orrather shout—a merry langh, and both my hands were in the grasp of Rese Sebiile. Soundly shaken they were, and it was with labor and difficulty, by flashes, it seemed, that 1 began to recognize in this huge hearty woman my fairy Rose. Then, too, that horrible pig loared over the scene, and, even while the little volame ot your youth began to before us, the duties owing to the yet undismembered bratefell like a shad- OW &Scross the a Maid Marie, who hasdiscarded her handker- chief and her tears together, now reappeared. and, making two imaginary bes across her mottled arm, whispered anxiously in her mis- tress’s ear. Taking this as a signal to depart, we rose: but our hostees had no idea of parting with so old an ally. “You most stay with us, dear Mr. Frank— dear Frank—and indeed you can be of the greatest service to us. for M. Stamfferis gone to Berne, not to return till to-morrow, and bands are scarce.” 1 look at Marie’s decapitated thumb, and thought my own might become scarcer. But Rose would take no denial. Let the doctor go bis rounds, and join us at dinnerat six, Youcan drive home by moon- ht.” hus it was settled. The doctor drove his Way, and 1 was conducted to the scene of re- cent sinugbter. Dear Rose! Sbe called me Frank, as she had done twenty years ago, and her pleasure at the Taeeting was it and unfeigned. She was in the highest spirits. The children had gone op & visit to a neighbor, to be out of the way in pig- weex, and she had nothing to divert her at- tention from the pig and me. In a large kitchen, seated about atable, wer about a dozen girls, while severai ladies of ri- ad years hovered about, brandisbing large ives, Hie scimitars, and the disabled Marie haunted, like an enquiet spirit, the scene of her former exploits. Rose. as she entered, armed herself hastily. Ss if the pig were stillalive and standing des- perately at bay.

I remember that, stooping for my hat to prepare for flight,a «mall finely tempered hatchet slid mto my hand. Seeing that I was , 1 took a stern Tesolution, and bracing my nerves up to the oceasion, determined to be priest, butcher, any- thing bet the object of ridicule of the impatient assembly. ‘Let me begin'’ I said, striding forward, and, waving my hatchet in theair, with a wild war-boop I shut my eyes and struck a savage blow. A sbriil scream arose, I had missed the brute’s body, and only cut off an ear. Rose applauded my zeal, but.-with some mis- trust of my skill, undertook to direct my fur- theroperation. The hatchet and the post of honor had (she said) been ananimously as- signed to me, and 1 must do my best. dechne to state, minutely, to what that amounted. I believe that, had the pig been ahve, and sensible of the playful havoc 1 was making witb his carcase, 1 could scarcely have suffered more. I cut and slashed, and hacked and hewed, conscious only of the one desire to reduce the brute to the smallest possible di- mensions. At length, whether excited by the commendations I received, or in obedience, to some strange law of our nature which I have never yet had time to .nvestigate, it certainly came to pass that I began to experience a cer tap sense of satisfaction in the work. Time, dinner, everything was forgotten, excepting only the beautiful proportions of the pig— “our” pig—for by this time 1 had fairly adopt- ed Bim, and I was still thecentre of an admir- ing band, executing a “chef-d’ruvre” of skill and elegance (cutting off chops), when, cast- ing my eyes round, I became aware of the fig- = of ee Lee rm became the loor, and quivering all over with euppressed laughter.

This was picked up by one of the inmates, who Trad the paragraph to his associates, and after some deliberation among themselves the whole struck work. The outdoor superintendent re- monstrated with them in vain; they insisted tbat, until some arrangement whereby they would get shorter hours and more pay was entered into, they would work no more. This state of matters continued for some time, and ultimately Dr. M’lutosh, the medical superin- tendent, was sent for to endeavor to get the men to resume work. The dector, on hearing bow matters stood, went to the men, and sug- gested that they should send a deputation io address bim on the rem ge immediately about half a dozen marched up to the doctor stated their grievances at muchfiength,and de- manded more pay and shorter hours. The doctor said it was perfectly true that they had a great grievance of which to complain—pro- visions were high in price, and the hours of labor were far too long in this warm weather, and then put his hand in his pocket and hand. ed the deputation haif-a-crown. This gave complete satisfaction; the deputation returned, informed their associates of their success, and the whole resumed work immediately.

Lord Essex keeps on each floor of his house asmall steam engine on wheels, always charged and im good order. In this case, he says: ‘In t: minutes 1 was in the room with one of them. it was likeafarnace. The curtain, shutters. casements and cornices of both windows were burping and crackling from floor to ceiling. I was quite alone atthe moment, yet before as- sistance arrived (most of the vants having gone to bed) I had completely subdued the fire of one window without exhausting theengine, ana when assistance and more water did ar- rive we very soon extinguished the other. so fierce was the fire that the lead of the case. ments was melted, and the casements them- selves were burned off their hinges. I will only add that, by God's mercy, the house was saved by this small engine. it not been at band and in order, most assuredly Cassiobury would be now a heap ofruins. The engine, even when full, runs so light on the floor that any woman might draw it and also work it.” Jvsticz Waking Ur.—A curious case hap- pened in Judge ’s Court yesterday.
