THE EXECUIOR.
CUAPTER I.
"The womau was certainly mad," said John Brown.
It was the most extraordinary of speeclies, considering the cironmstanoea  and plaoe in which, it was spoken.   A parlor of very grim and homely aspect, furDished with dark ma¬ hogany and blaok haircloth, the blinds of the two windows solemuly drawn down, the shut¬ ters of one half-closed; two traditional decan¬ ters of wine standiug reflticted iii the shining, uncovered tabh}; half a dozen people, all in monrning, in varions attitndes of surprise, dis¬ appointment and displeasure; and close by one of the windows Mr. Bronn, the attorney, holding np  to tbe  light that extraordinary scrap of paper, whioh  had  fallen npon them like a thundeibolt.    Only half an bonr ago he had attended ber faneral with deoornm and perfeot indifference, as was natnral, and bad oome iuto this parlor withont the slightest idea of enconutering anj thing whioh oonld disturb him.    Fate, however, bad been lying in wait for the unsuspecting man at tbat moment he feared it least.    He had not been employed to draw ont this  extraordinary document, nor had he known anything abont it.    It was a thunderbolt enclosed  in a simple envelope, very securely sealed up,  and delivered to him with great solemnity by the next of kin, which carried bim off his balance like a oharge of ar¬ tiUery, and made everybody aghast around him.   The sentiment and exclamation were alike natnral: bnt the woman was not mad. By tbe side of the table, very pale aud pro¬ foundly discomposed, sat the next of kin; a w( man, of appearance not nnacoordant with that of the bouse, over fifty, dark-complex¬ ioned and full of wrinkles, with a certain clond of habitual shabbiuess, not to be cast aside, impairing the perfection of her new mourning. Her new  mourning, poor  soul I got on tbe strenglh  of tbat letter containing the will, which had been placed in her safekeeping.— She was evidenily doing everything she could to command berself and conceal ber agitation. Bnt it was not a very ea?y matter.   Cherished visions of years, and hopes tbat this moming had seemed on the point of settling iuto re¬ ality, were breaking up before bar, eaoh with its poignant circumstances of mortification and bitterness and dread    disappointment.   Bbe looked at everybody in the room with a kind of agonised appeal—could   it really be trne, might not her ears have deceived her ?—aud strained her troubled  gaze npon that paper, not withont an instioclive thought tbat it was wrongly read, or misunderstood, or that some mysterious change had taken plaee  on  it in the tranafer from her possession to lhat of Mr. Brown.    His amazement and dismay did not convince tbe poor   dismayed woman.    She Btretched ont her band eagerly to get the paper to read it forherself.   He might have obanged it in reading it; he might bave missed some¬ thing, or added something, tbat altered the meaning.     Anything might have happeiied, rather than the reality tbat lier coufidence had been deceived and her bopes were gone.
"Did yon knowof this, Mrs. Christian f* said the rector, who stood at the other end of the room with his bat in his hand. ^ Did she know 1   She could bave gnashed her teeth at the foolish question, In her ex- excitement and   exasperation.    She made a hysteiioal motion witb her head to answer.— Her danghter, who bad come to the  back of her chair, and wbo knew tbe rector mnst no^ be offended, supplied the words that f^led to her moiher:    "Ko ; we thonght we were to have it," said the poor girl, innocently.    Tbere was & little movement of sympathy and com-" paasion among the other persons present.   Bat mingled with this came a eonnd of a different description; a cough, not an expression of physical weakness, bnt of moral sentiment; an irritating, critical, inarticulate remark npon that melancholy avowal.   It oame from tbe only olber woman present, the servant of the house.   When the disappointed illation heard i^ Bhe flushed into sndden rage, and made an immediate idemificaiion  of her enemy.   It waa not dignified, but it was verynalaraL— Perhaps, under the circumstances, it waB the only relief which her feelings could have had. -*'BatIkuow whose doing it was I" satd .   poor Mrs. Cbristian, trembling all over her palefocereddenihg with passion..  There waa > little niovement at the doorai the servant- Woman stepped farther into tbe zoom to take K^r'^pphintbe scene which InteirleBted her kewal/^L.-^to was a tall woman, thin and dxj,
asd aboat the.same age as Itaraooiuer. Thw was even a certathdegree of Ukeneaa between them. Aa Nanoy*a tall penon and whita apron became olearly Tisibla from among the Uttle group of gentlemen, Mrs. Christian rose, In¬ spired with all the heat and passion of her disappointment, to faoe her foe.
** Did you know of this 7" eald the excellent rector, with his concerned malaprop face.— Nanoy did not look at him. The three women stood regarding eaoh othar aorosa the table; the othera were only apectators—they were the persons oonoemed. The girl who had al¬ ready spoken, and who was a little fair crea¬ ture, as diffiarant from the belligerents as poa- Bible, stood holding her mother's hand tightly. She had her eyes on them both, with an ex¬ traordinary air of oontrbl and nnoonsoions au¬ thority. They were both full of rage and excitement, the climax of a long Bmonldering qnarrel; bnt the bine eyes that watched, kept them silent agUnst their will. The orisia lasted only for a moment. Foor Mrs. Chris¬ tian, yielding to the impulse of tbe small fingers that olosed so tightly on her hand, fell back on her chair, and attempted to recover her shattered dignity. Nanoy withdrew to the door; and Mr. Brown repeated the excla¬ mation in whioh his dismay and tronble had at first expressed Itaelf, *' Certainly, the woman must bave been mad. I"
" Will yon have the goodness to let me aee it r" said Mra. Christian with a gasp. It is im¬ possible to aay what ideas of tearing it np or throwing it into the smouldering fire, might have mingled with her desire; bnt, in the first place, ehe was eager to see if she could not make something different out of that paper than those astonndiug words she had read. Mr. Brown was an honest man, bat he was an attorney; and Mrs. Christian was an honest woman, but she was next of kin. If ahe had known what waa In th«t ornel paper, she might not, perhaps, have preserved It so care¬ fally. She read it over, trembling, and not nnderstanding the very words she mattered nnder her breath. Bessie read it also, over her shoulder. While they were so ocoapied, Mr. Brown relieved his perplexed mind with a vehemence not much less tragical than that of the disappointed heir.
** I have kuown many absnrd things in the way of wills," sMd Mr. Brown, " bat this Is the crown of all. Wbo on earth ever heard ofFbcebe Thomson? Who's Phoebe Thom¬ son? Her danghter f Why'j'she never had any daughter in the memory of man, I ahonld say it ia somewhere like thirty yeaia since sbe settled down In Carlingford—with no ohild, nor any appearance of ever havingbad one—an old witch with three cats, a beart and like the nether millstone. Bespeot ? don't speak to mel why shonid I respeot herf Here she's gone, after living a life which no¬ body was the better for; certainly I was none the better for it; wby, sbe did not even em¬ ploy me to make thia precious will; and sad¬ dled me—^me of all men in the world—^with a burden I wouldn't undertake for my own brother. 1*11 have nothing to do with it. Do yon suppose I'm going to give up my own business, and all my comfort, to seek Phosbe Thomson ? The idea's ridiculoua! the woman was mad !'•
''Hash! for we're In the honse of our de¬ parted friend, andhave just laid her down," said the in appropriate rector, " in tbe sure and oertain hope—"
Mr. Brown made, and checked himaelf in making, an extraordinary grimace. " Do yoa auppose I'm hound to go hnnting Fhcebe Thom¬ son till that day oomes ?" said tbe attomey.— " Better be a ghost at once, when one could have surer information. I'm very aorry, Mrs. Christain; I have no hand in It, I assure you. Who doyou imagine this FhcBbo Thomson ia?"
"Sir"' said Mrs. Christain, "I deoline to give yoa any information. If my son was bere, inatead of b^ing in India, aa everybody knowa, I might have aome one to act for me* But yon may be oertain that I shall take ad¬ vice npon It. You will hear from my solio¬ itor, Mr. Brown; I deoline to give you any information on the snbject."
Mr. Brown stared broadly at the speaker; his (zee reddened. He watched her get np and make her way out of the room with a perplexed look, half angry, and half compaa- aionate. She went out with a little of the sionate and resentful air which deprives snoh disappointments of the sympathy tbey deserve—wrathfal, vindictive, consoling lierself with dreama tbat It waa all a plot, and abe coald still have her rights ; bat a sad fignre, notwithstanding her flatter of bitter rage—a sad figure to those who knew what home sbewas going to, and how she'lived. Her very dress, so mnoh better lhan it nsa¬ ally waa, enhanced tbe melancholy aspect of the poor woman's withdrawel. Her danghter followed her cloaely, ashamed, and not ven¬ turing to lift her eyes. They were a pathetic couple to tbat little group that knew all abont them. Nancy threw tbe room-door open for them, wilh a revengful satisfaction.—One of the funeral attendants who atill lingerea out¬ aide opened the onler one. They went out of the anbdued ligbt, into day, tbeir hearts tingling with a thousand woands. At leaat the mother's heart waa pierced, and palpita¬ ting in every nerve. There waa an inatlnot- ive silence while tbey went ont, and after ther were gone. Eren Mr. Brown'a "humphI" was a rery subdued protest againat the in¬ justice whicti Mrs. Chrlatain bad done him. Everybody stood reapectful of tbe real calam¬ ity.
" And so, there they are jnst where they were I" cried the young sargeon, who was one of the party; " and pretty, sweet Bessie muat still carry her faiher on her shonldera, and drag her mother on her aide wherever ahe goes ; it's very hard—une can't help thinking jt's a very hard burden for a girl of her years."
" But it is a burden of which she might be relieved," said Mr. Brown with a smile.
The yonng man colored high and drew back a little. "Few men liave courage enoagh to take np suoh loads of their own will," he said with a little heat; " I have bur¬ dens ofmy own."
A few worda may imply a great deal in a little company, where all the Interlooutora know all abont each other. This, thongh it was simple enough, disturbed the composure ofthe dootor. A minnte after he muttered something about his farther presence being unnecessary, and hastened away. There were now only left the rector, the church¬ warden, and Mr. Brown.
" Of coarse you will accept her trust, Mr. Brown," said the rector.
The attorney made a great many grimaces; but said nothing. The whole matter was too startling and sndden to have left him time to think what he was to do.
** Anyhow the poor Christians are left in the lurch," said the churchwarden; "for,I sup¬ pose, Brown, if you don't undertake it. It'll go into chancery. Oh! 1 don't pretend to know; but it's natnral to snppoae, of coarse, that it would go into chancery, and atand empty with allthe windowa;hroken for twenty years. But conidn't they inake yon undertake it whether yon pleased or no! I am only saying what occurs to ine; of course I'm not a lawyer—I can't know."
"Well, never mind," eald Mr. Brown; "I cannot undertake to say jnst at this Identical moment what I shall do. I don't like the at¬ mosphere of tiiia plaoe, and there's nothing more to be doner jost now tiiat I know of. We had belter go."
"But the house—and Nancy—some con¬ clusion most be come to direeUy. What will yon do about them ?" aald the rector.
"To be sure I; I don't donbt theze'fl plate and jewelry and:.£ach things al>ont^—they onglit to be sealed'and seonred, and thateoii of thing," lald ihe BtiU more energetic lay fanoUoniiiyi.^^V.Foi iuiyt^ing iro know, she might have money In old stockinga aU abont the house. I s&ould jut b* iuprised at any- tiling, after whaC<ira*vetaeudto-asir.   T«r* nt
thoaaand pounds t ud a daugliterl. If. any one had told me that old Mrs. Thompson had either the one or the other yeeterday at this, : I shoald have said they were craxy. Certain¬ ly, Brown, the oapboarda and desks and ao forth shonid be examined and aealed up. ' It ' is your daty to Fboabe Tbompson. Yon must do your dutyto Phosbe Thompson, or she'll get damages of you. I suppose ao—you ought to know."
"Confound Phoebe Thomson 1"'said the at¬ torney, with great anotion; but notwithstand¬ ing, oome along, let ns get out of this. As for her jewelry and her old stockings, thoy most take their ohanee. I can't stand it any longer —^pahl there's no air to breathe. How did the old witch ever manage to live to eighty here 7"
" Yoa must not call her by such Improper epithets. I have no doubt ahe waa a good woman," said the rectpr; "and recoUeot,real¬ ly, yba owe a little respect to a person who was only buried to-day."
" If sbe were, to be burled to-morrow," oried the Irreverent attomey, making his way firs^ out oftbe narrow doorway, "I know one man who wonld bave nothing to do with the obse¬ quies. • Wby, look here I what right had that old hnmbng to saddle me wilh her duties, after nesleoting them all her life; and,with that bribe implied, to lure me to undertake the job too. Ab, the old wretch 1 don't let ns apeak of her. Aa for respeot, I don't owe her a particle—tiiat is a consolation. I knew something of the kind of creature ahe waa be¬ fore to-day."
So aaying, John Brown thrust his handa into his pocketa, ahmgged up hia ahoulders, and went off at a atartling pace up the qniet street. It waa a very quiet atreet in the out¬ skirts of a very quiet little town. The back of the house which tbey had jnst left was on a Une with the road—a blank wall, broken only by one long staircase-window. The front waa to the garden, entering by a little side- gate, through wbich the indignant execntor had juat harried, crunching the gravel under his rapid steps. A line of such honses, doleful and monotonous, with all the living part of tbem concealed in their gardens, formed one side of the street along which he passed so rapidly. The other aide consisted of humbler habitations, meekly contented to look at their neighbors* back-windowa. When John Brown had shot far ahead of his late companionet who followed together, greatly interested in this new snbject of talk, hia rapid courae was iutermpted for a moment. Bessie Christian came running across the street from one of the little houses. She had no bonnet on, and her .black dresa made her blonde complexion and Ugbt hair look clearer and fairer than ever; and wben tbe lawyer drew np all at once to hear what she had to say, partly from compaa- aion, partly from curiosity, it did not faU to strike him how like a ohild she was, approaoh¬ ing him thus simply with her message. **0 Mr. Brown," cried Bessie, out of breath, " I want lo apeak to you. If you will ask Nanoy, I am sure she can give yon whatever informa¬ tion is to be bad about—about aunt's friends. Slie has been with aunt all her life. I thonght I would tell you in case yon might think, after wbat mamma said—"
"I did not think anything about It," aaid Mr. Brown.
" That we knew something, and would not teU yon; but we don't know anything," said Bessie. *' I never heard of Pha)be Thomson before."
Mr. Brown shrugged np his shoulders higher lhan ever, and thrust his handa deeper into hia pockets. " Thank you," he aaid, a little nngracioualy. "I should, have spoken to Nanoy, of oourse, in any case; but I'm snre it'a very kind of you to take the trouble— good-by."
Bessie went back blushing and disconcerted; and the rector and churchwarden, coming grad¬ ually np on the otber aide of the road, seeinB her eager approach and downcast withdrawal, naturally wondered to eaob otber what she could want with Brown, and exchanged condo¬ lences on the fact tbat Brown's mannera were wonderfully beariah—really too bad. Brown, in the meantime, without thinking about bia mannera, hurried along to hia office. He was extremely impatient of the whole concern; it vexed him unconsciously to see Bessie Chris¬ tian ; it even occurred to him that the sight o' her aud of her mother abont would make his unwelcome office aU the more galling to him. In addition to all tbe.annoyance and trouble, here wonld be a constant suggestion that he had wronged these people. He rushed into hia private sauetuary tbe most uncomfortable man in CarUngford. An honest, selfish. In¬ offensive citizen, injuring no one, if perhapa he did not help ao many aa he might bave done—what grievona fault had he committed to bring upon bim auch a misfortune aa this 7
The will whioh had canaed so much conver¬ sation was to thia purport. It bequeathed all tbe property of wbich Mrs. Thomson of Grove street died possessed, to John Brown, attorney in Carlingford, in truat for Pbcebe Thomson, the only child of tbe testatrix, wbo had not been aeen or heard of her for thirty years; and in case of all lawful means lo find the said Pbcebe Thomson proving nnsncoeasfnl, at the end of three years the property in question was be¬ queathed to John Brown, bis beirs and admin¬ istrators, absolutely and in fall possession. No wonder it raised a ferment in the uncom¬ municative bosom of tbe Carlingford attorney, and kept the town in talk for more tfaan nine days. Mrs. Thomson had died possessed of twenty tbousand pounds; snch an event had not happened at Carlingford in the memory of man.
¦ CHAPTER II.
The divers emotiona exoited by this very unexpected occurrence may be betler evidenc¬ ed by the manner in which the evening^f that day waa spent in varions houses iu Carling¬ ford than by any other meana.
First, In the little honse of the Christians. It was a collage on the otber side of Grove street—a homely little box of two stories, with a morsel of garden in front, and some vegetables behind. There, on that spring af¬ temoon, matters did not look cheerful. The Uttle sitting-room waa deserted—the fire had died out—tbe hearth was nnswept—the room iu a Utier. Bessie's pupils had not come to¬ day. They had got hoUday three days ago, in happy anUcipation of being dismissed for¬ ever; and only tbeir young teacher's pruden¬ tial remonstrances had pievented poor Mra. Christian -from -making a iittie speech to tbem, and telling them all that henceforward Mias Christian wonld have other occupations, but would alwaya be fond of them, and glad
to see her little friends iu their new house.	
To make that apeech would have delighted Mrs. Christian's heart. She had managed, however, to convey the meaning of it by many a fatal hint and aUnsion, In this work of self-destruction the poor woman had been only too suooessful; for already the mothers of the Utile girls had begun to inqnire into the terma and capabilities of other teachera, and the foundations of Besaie'a little empire were shaken and tottering, thongh fortunately they did notknow of it to-day. Every thing was very cold, dismal, and deserted In that Uttle parlor. Faint sounds overhead were the only Bounds audible in the house; aometimea a foot moving over the creaky boards—now and then a groan. Up stairs there were two rooms, one a cioae, curtained, fire-lighted, stifling Invalid'a room. There waa Bessie sit¬ ting listleesly by a table, npon which were the lamiUar tea-things, which conveyed no com¬ fort to-night; and there was her paralytic father sitting helpless, sometimes shaking his Itead, sometimes gnimbUng oat iaint, half- artionlatQ words, slgha, and exclamations^— "Dear, dearl aUl weUI that's wh^it^t has oome tol" said the tldk, man, hiished hy'ton^ habit into a apcb^of speotatorshlp, and leeiing even so great» diaappointment rather by'way of sympathy t^an penonSl emotioi^' ;B^^ : sat Uitless >y, feelhag a vague 'ea;asp«^i^'i{ at ibis lapgj^ld rouUiiig soepmpai^nucBt, tOr^ ttkoogbts.   Xhtfotors bad been Uottod^at
snddenly, and at a blow, from Bessie's eyes. She oonld see notbing before her—notbing but this-dark, monolonbna, aching present moment, pervaded by the dropjping sounds of tWt faint, half-articnlate voice. Other acene was not to da*n npon her youth. It was bard for poor Bessie. She sat aUent In the sUflhig room, with the bed and Its hangings between her iand the window, and the fire scorching her cheek. She oonld neitlier ory, nor aooldi nor blame anybody. None of the reaources of despair were poasible to her. Bhe knew it would have to go on again, all the same, and that now things never would be any better.— It was not so miioh the continuance of pover¬ ty, of labor, of aU the dreadful pinches of thrift: it was the end of possibiUty—the knowledge that now there was no longer any¬ thing to expect.
On the other side of the passage Bessie's own sleeping room' waa inhabited by a restless fever of disappoiutment and despair and hope- There was Mrs. Chriatian lying on her daugh- ter's bed. The poor woman waa half crazed with the whirl of paaaion in her briun. That Intolerable sense of having been duped and deceived, of actually having a hand in the overthrow of aU her own. hopes, aggravated her natnral disappointment into frenzy. When she recoUected her state of exaltation that momlng, her confident intentions—when.they were to remove, what ohanges were to be in their manner of life, even what house they were to occupy—it is not wonderfnl if the veins swelled in her poor head, and all her polaea throbbed with the miseiy of the con¬ trast. But with aU this there mingled a vin¬ dictive personal feeling atUl more exciting.— Nancy, whom ahe knew more of than any one else did—^her close, secret, unwavering ene¬ my ; and even the inuocent lawyer, whom, in her present condition of mind, she could not believe not to have known of this dreadful cheat practised upon her, or not, to oare for that prize which, now that it was lost, seemed to her worth everytliing tbat waa preclons In life. The poor creature lay goading herself into madness with tbonghts of how she would be revenged npon these enemies; how ahe would watch, and track out, and reveal their hidden plots againat her; how she would tri¬ umph over and cmsh them. AU these half frenzied cogitations were seoretly pervaded—a atiU more maddening exasperation—by a con- aciouaneaa of her own impotence. The eve¬ ning came creeping in, growing dark around her—ailence fell over the Uttie honse, where nobody moved or spoke, and where all the world, the heavens, and the earth, seemed ohanged since this morning; but the wonder was now tbat sUence could contain her,—all palpitating with pangs and plans, a bleeding, infuriated, wounded creature—and show no aign of the frenzy It oovered. She had ilin down to rest, as the saying Is. How many women are there who go thus to a voluntary crucifixion and torture by lying down to rest I Mrs. Christian lay with her dry eyes blazing throngh the darkness, no more able to sleep tban she was to do all that her burning fancy desoribed to her. She waa a hot-blooded Cel¬ tic woman, of that primitive island which has preserved her name. If she could have sought sympaihy, here was nobody to beslow it— Not the heart wbioli that poor ghost of man¬ hood in the,^next room had lost oat of hia chilled, bewUdered besom; not Bessie's stead¬ fast, unexoited aplrit. Tbe poor soul aaved heraelf from going wild by thinking of her boy; holding ont her passionate arma to him thousands of mUes away ; setting him forth as tbe deliverer, with all the absolate folly of love and pasaion. He would come home and have justice dons~io his mother. Never was fanoy more nnraasonable; but It saved her from some of the effects of the agitation in her heart.
On the other-side of the road, at the same hour, Nancy prepared her tea in the houae of wbioh ahe was temporary mistress. There coald not be any doubt, to look at her now, that thia tall, dry, withered figure, and face full of oharacteristio wrinkles, waa like Mra. Chriatian. The resemblance had been noticed by many. And aa old Mra. Thompaon had not beaitated to avow that her faithful servant was connected with her by aome distant bond of relationship, it was not difficult to imagine that tbeae tno were really related, thongh both denied it atrenuonaly. Nanoy had a friend with her to tea. They were in the cheerful kitchen, which had a window in the aide waU of the house, by whioh a gUmpse of tbe street might be obtained througb the gar¬ deu gate. The firelight shone pleasantly through the cheerful apartment. AU the pe¬ culiar omamenta of a kltohen—the covers, the crockery, the polished sparkles of shining pew¬ ter and brass—adorned the walla. Through it all went Nancy In her new blaok dreas and ample snowy-white apron. She carried her head high, and moved with a certain rythmi¬ cal elation. It is surely an nnphilosophical oonolasion that there la no real enjoyment in wickedness. Nanoy had no nneasiness in her triumph. The more she realized what her victory must have cost her opponent, the more entire grew her satisfaction. Remorse might have mixed with her exultation had she had any pity in her; but she had not; and, in con¬ sequence. It waa with unalloyed pleaaure that she contemplated the overthrow of her adver¬ sary. Perhapa the very aatisfaction of a good man In a good action is inferior to the absolute saiiafaction with which, by timea, a bad man Is permitted to contemplate the issue of his wickedness. Nanoy marched abonther kitch¬ en, preparing her tea with an enjoyment which possibly wcnld not have attended a benerolent exercise of her powers. Possibly she could almost have painted to herself, Uue by Une, the dark tableau of that twiHght room where Mra. Christian lay, driving herself orazy with wild thoughts. She did tbe gloom of the pio¬ ture full justice. If she could have peeped into the window aud seen it with her own eyes, ahe wonld bave enjoyed the sight.
" I'll make Mr. Brown keep me In tbe house," aaid Nancy, sitting down at a table piled with good things, and which looked an an embodiment of kitchen luxury and comfort, " and get me a girl. It was what missus always meant to do. I'll show it to him out of the wUl tbat I waa left In trnst to be made com¬ fortable. And in conrse of nature her things all come to m^. It's a deal easier to deai with a aingie gentieman tban if there was a lady poking her nose inlo everything. Thank my stars, upstarts anch like aa them Christians shall never lord it over me; and now I have more of my own way, I'U be glad to see you of au evening whenever you can comfortable. Bring a bit of work, and we'U have a quiet chat.   I conaider myself settied for life."
The young surgeon's house was at the other end of the town; It was close to a region of half-built streets^for Carlingford waa a proa¬ peroaa town—where successive colonies were settling, where honses were damp and drain¬ age incomplete, and a good practice to be had with pains. The house had a genteel front to the road, a lamp over the door, and'a little surgery round the comer, where it gave forth the sheen of Its red and blue bottles across a wiiole half-finished district. Mr. Rider had come home tired, nnacoountably tired. He had kicked off one boot, and taken a cigar from his case, ajid forgotten to Ight it. He sat plunged in hia easy chair in a drear brown study—-a brown study Inaccessible to the so¬ laces which generally make snoh statea of mind endhrablel His. olgar went astray among the confused properties Of hia writing- table ; the book he hadbeen reading laat night lay rejected in the farthest corner of the room. He was insensible tb the charms of drMsIng- gdwn and aUppen; On the whole, he was in a very melancholy, sullen, not to say savage mood. 'He sat and gazed fleiei^ly into the fire, o1i!eil^g the end of'fsnoies, In'wlUoh very Ut¬ tie ot the sweat- seemed tb'^iningie' witb the ibitter. Se W bee&^ia^dioaVattendibit bf Hn.

bav^ nl^pond h^ had basfv^ the'advent of thatnielanoholy day, bad yon aeen'hls faoe. . On tha ifhole, Itwas a lurd dU«mnala which the pooryonog man fonnd bimself^ Hei too, Uke Nanoy, kept realising the interior of that other Uttle hoiise in Qroii Street. Both of thiim, by dint of that aoqnalntanoe with their neighbors which everybody has in a smaU commanlty, oame to a modezUaly oor. root guess at what was goingonthen. Young Mr. Rider sat. In rheavy thonght, sometimes bnrsting ont In violent gestnres which forta- nately nobody witnessed; sometimes attering sighs which aU but ble wont hla llghts-Impatlent argent sighs, not of melancholy, but of. anger and realstanoe-the sighs of a yonng man wbo fouud drcumatanoes intolerable, and yet was obUged to confess, with sore mortification and humbling, that be coold not mend them, and behoved to endure. The visions that kept gUdIng across his eyes drove him half aa wUd as poor Mrs. CbriaUan; one moment apretty yonng wife, aU the new hoase wauted to make it fully tenable ; bnt he had scaroely brooght her across the threshold, when a ghastly fig¬ nre in a chair was carried over it after ber, up¬ stairs into the bridal apartments, and another woman, soared and drawn away by prossare of poverty, constitutionally shabby, vehement and high tempered, pervaded the new habL lalion. No nse saying pshaw 1 and pah t—no use swearing bigger oaths,—no nse pitching unoffending hooka into the oomera, or breath¬ ing out those short, deep breaths of despera¬ tion. This was in reality the atate of afiidrs. Midnight did not change the aspect it had wom in the moming. Pondering all the night throngh would bring no light on the subject. Nothing conid obange those intoUerable cir¬ oumstances. The poor yonng stirgeon threw hia coat off In the heat and urgency of his thoughts, and pitched it from him like the books. There waa no oomfort or aolaoe to be fotmd in that world of fanoy. Only tblamom- Ing sweeter dreama had filled this disordered apartment. In imagiuation, he had helped bis Bessie to minister to tbe oomfort of the poor old sick parenta in Mra. Thomson's house. Now he knitted his brows desperately over it, but could find no outlet. Unless some good fairy aent him a patient in the middle of tbe night, the chances were that the momlng would flnd him puraning that same Intermin¬ able brown stndy of wbloh nothing could come.
Mr. Brown's house was an old honse in the middle of the town. The offices were in the lower floor, occupying one side of the building. On the other side of the wide, old-fashioned hall waa his dining-room. Thera be sat aU by himself npou this agitating night. It waa a large, lofty, barely furniahed room, with wain¬ scoted walla, and curioua stiff paneling, and jt high mantle abelf, whioh he, thongh a ti^ man, oonld scarcely reach with bis arm. It was dimly lighted, as well as barely furnished —altogether an inhuman, desert plaoe—the poorest though the grandest of all we have yet looked into In Carlingford. Mr. Brown waa not sensible of its inhospitable aspect; he waa used lo it, and that was enough. It oc¬ curred to him as Uttle to criticise his manners, Thua they were, and thus tt^ would con¬ tinue ; at least he had always beUeved so till to-night.
He sat in his easy chair with his feeton the fender, and a littie table at his elbow with his wine. As long as tbere was anything In hia glass he sipped It by habit, without being aware of what he was doing; but when the glass was empty, though he had two or three timea raised it empty to hia lips, he waa too muoh absorbed in his tbonghts to replenish it. He was not by any means a handsome man ; and he was five- and-forly or thereabouts, and had a habit of making portentiona faces, when any way spec¬ ially engaged in thought; so that, on the whole, it was not a highly attractive or inlerestlug fignre which reclined baok in the crimaon chair, and atretched its slippered feet to the fire, sole inmate of the dim, spacious, vacant room. He was thinking over hia new position with pro¬ found disgust and perplexity. Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that the subject lured him on, and drew out into stretches of imagination far beyond his wont;—hunting all tfae world over after Pbcabe Thomas I Bat, after all, tbat was only a preliminary step; be waa required only to use reasonable means, and for tbree years. If fhe turned up, there was an end of it; if she did not turn up—tfaere Mr. Brown sprang np hurriedly and assumed the favorite position of Englishmen in &cntofhia flre.r- There, all glittering in the diatance, rose up, solid and splendid, au appearance which, few men could see without emo tion—twentyjthou¬ sand pounda I It was not life and death to bim, as It was to poor Mra. Christiau. It did not make all the differenoe between sordid want and comfortable existence ; but yon may well believe it did not appear before the lawyer's eyea without moring him into a conaiderable degree of exoitement. Suoh a fairy apparition had nerer appeared before in that cold, spaci¬ ous, nninhabited room. Inrolimtarily to him¬ self, Mr. Brown saw his house expand, his lUe open out, his condition change. Roseate lights dropped into the warming atmosphere which hadreceired tbat vision ; the fairy wand waved throngh the dim air before him in apite of aU hia Bobriety. The wiles of the encbantresa lured John Brown as effectuaUy as if he had not been five-and-forty, an old bachelor, and an attorney; and, after half an hour of these alowly growing, half-oonacions, half-resisted thougbta, any chance tfaat had brought the name of the dead woman'a lost danghter to his memory, would have called forth a rery differ¬ ent "confonnd Phoebe Thomson I" from that which borst from his troabled lipa In the house iu Grove street. Possibly it was aome Buch feeling whioh roused him up a moment after, when the great cat came softly purring to his feet and rubbed against bis slippers. Mr. Brown started violently, thrust puss away, flung bim¬ self baok into his chair, grew very red, and murmured something about "an- assl" ashamed to detect himself in his own vain im¬ aginations. Bnt that sudden waking np did i)otlaat. After he had filled his glass and emptied it—after be had stirred his fire, and made a little noise, with some vagne idea of dispeUing the apell he waa nnder—the fairy retnmed and retook possession under a less agreeable aspect. Suppose Ae were to be en¬ riched, wbat was to become of the poor Chris¬ tians 7 They were not very near relations, and tfae old woman had a right to leare her money where she Uked. StiU there was a human heart in John Brown's bosom. Somehow that little episode in the street retnmed to his re¬ collection^—Bessie rnnning aoroaa, Ught and noiseless, with her message. How young the creature must be, after all, to have so much to do. Poor Uttle Bessie t she had not only loat her chanoe of being a great fortune, and one of the gentle young ladies of Carlingford, but she had lost her chance of the dootor, and his new house and. ij^Ing practice. Shabby feUow 1 to leave the pretty girl he was fond of, because ahe was a :good girl, and was every¬ thing to her old father and mother. " I won¬ der will they aay that's my fault too 7" aaid John Brown to himself; and stumbled up to bis feet again on the atlmulua Of that thonght, with a kind of sheepisli. not luipleasant embar¬ rassment, and a fooUsh half-amile opon Ms face. Somehow at that moment, looking be^ fore him, as he had done ao many handred times standing oh hia own heaithrug, it oo- ourrad to bim all at once what abare room this was that he spent his evenings In—what Ul inhoman, chilly, penurious place 1 scaroely more homelike than that bit of open stiee^ across which Bessie oame tripping this after¬ noon, wanting to spealrto him. Nobody want¬ ed to speak to hfan here. No wonder he had a threatening of rheumatism last winter.—- What a bold, wr^bed bam of a room I He could not help wonderhig to himself whether the.drawlng-room. were any better. In the new slut his long-doniuni Imagination had takbn, John Browivbad; aotni^ In

Brown pttiled the bell vlo- lenUy,'and had the fire made op, and asked for bis tea. His tea 1 he never touched it when it came, bat aat pshawing and bomph- ing at it, making himself indtghant over that fool of a yonng dootor. And what if these poor people, sour and sore after their mhsfortune, should think that tbis too waa Ati fault.

BRANDY A3 A MEDICINE
THE following article waa voluntarilj sent to Mr. H. E. BLATMAESR, Agent for Beigart's Old Wine Store, In this eiry, hy a proml¬ aent practising Fhysicisn of this connty, who has ex- tonsirely u»ed the Brandy relerred to In bis regular practice. It U commended to the a'teatlon of thotie afflicted with Indigestion or Dyspepsia:
BBANDT AS A MEDICINE:—Tnis now much abused alcobellc stlmnlant was nerer Intended aa a beTumge, but waa used as a medldne of great poteacy and relia¬ bility in tbe core of some of tbe moAt deatractive and rirnlent diseases, which swept before them tfaeir snoaal thoasauds of rlctimu. Aside from the indispeDtiabie uae of alcoholln tbe arts and manafactnrea, we, with a pnrely philanthropic motire, lotend to preeem to the farorahle notice of invalids—enpecitilly thoKo alUicted wtth that protean and miserable dUease, Dyspajisia— a apeciflc remedy la nothing more nur leiis tban BBANDT. The aged, with feeble appetites, and more or less debility, will find tbis simple medicine, when need pioperly, a sorereign remedy for all their tils aad achea, Bot sloce we hare recommended this aa a remedy, be It, howerer, etrletiy nnderstood tbut we pre¬ scribe and nse bntone article, and that \s"REIGAHl'S OLD BRANDY,"—sold by our enterprioing yonog friend, H. £. Slatuaebb. This br<tndy ha<i etood the test for years, and haa ourer failed, as far au onr expe¬ rieoce exteods, and we therefore give it tbe preference orer all otber braudies—no matter with how mauy jaw- breaking French titles they are branded. One-foarth of tbe money tbat Is yearly thrown away oa Veirioas Impotentdytipepulaspeciflctt.would saHlce to buy allthe brandy, to cure any auch case or cosetj. We hare olten beon adviued by ptomineat citizens lu oar neighbor¬ hood—who are strictly temperate—to pabllah thu rir- tuea of this braady. lu tbis all pervading malady, as it would la a manner abolish tbe bost of would-be quack remedies, with which laralidb are so outragauuttly hombagged, and bring cheer and comfort to many a desolat^ fireside. In proof of what Reigart's Old Brandy bas accompUfbed as a remedy, in the diasoHeu to which we hare alluded, we esa sammoa quite a renpectable nnmber of persons, wbo will freely testify as to tbe great and lasting boaeflts they hare derired from its use as a mediciue. Sereral cades of the most iarataruts from of Dy^p6pHia—where It proved nacceoufal—shoald alone hufilce to convince aoy liberal miod that Old Brandy is Infallible. One code In p3.rticuiar we will cite:—A hard working farmer bod bean aftlicted with an exhaustiug dyapeptiia for a numberof years; his stomacb wouldrejecc almoatevery kiod of food; be hod aonr eractatioos constaatly—no appetite'—in fact, ha was obliged to rsHtrict bia diet to crackers and stale bread, and as a bererage he uaed McGrann's Boot Bser, He Is a Methodist, and then, aa now, preached at timea, and in his dlscouns often declaimed earaestly against alt klods of etrong drink. When adrlaed to try Rei¬ garVs Old Brandy In his case, he looked up with aaton- ishmant; bat after relating its wonderfnl effects la tbe caaea of aome of bis near acquaintances, he at last con- sentod to follow car adrice. He osed tbe brandy faith- folly aod ateadily; the flrat bottle glvlag him an appetite, and before the second was all taken he was a sound man, with a stomach capable of diseuting any tblng which be chose to eat. Be still keeps It and usee :i little occaaionally ; and, moreorer, siace be bos thla medicine, bd baa been of rery little pecnniary beneflt to the doctor. If any are skeptical, or beliere this is written to benefit any llqnor dealer, we can, if reqaired. gireacertlficAt« endorsed by quite arespectable namber of persons, who h we been cured by It, and who will at anytime eheerfully testify as to Its superior healthy rlrtues In dyspepsia, and all diseases of a dablilattng character. Thoee desiring to use this brandy will obtain full dlrectioua of Mr. filaymaker; bnt eueh as desire to use it for intoxicating purposes, wa adrise to rather snffer with dyapepsla, and let Reisart's old brandy gat older, or untid. tbey can form a reaolution to nse It aa a medlcUe.
