THE ORPHAN'S HERITAGE.
"WliiiT, wliiri!" anil the sparks llew oil" the griiulsloiie from thu scis¬ sors held against it. Tlie man who was grimlitig stopped a minute, felt the eilge of the scissors willi liis tliumh, liglitcned the rivet, and handed it to the .servant who stood waitiuR forit. . "Threepence, luiss; thank .vou;" anil he prepared to' niove on. " Will vou (,'etiii, Kitty?"
"Xo, grandpapa; lue not tired," said a long-haired, blue-eyed child of about live years old, who tottled along¬ side. She was very poorly dressed, but perfectly clean ; her hair was smooth and glossy, and her face had a look of coutentnient and trust, uot a very pret¬ ty child at lirst sight, but evidently a bright, docile little creature.
"Any knives or sois.sors to grind? any pous, pans or kettles to mend!" shouted the man as he pushed his lit¬ tle machine with a grindstone and emery-wheel, and a smoking pan of charcoal dangling from it, before him. The barrow was like other barrows of Ihe sort, the ditt'erence being that un¬ derneath, just above the trea<lle, wa.s a sort of Hat box, with a rug laid in it— a very cosy little uest indeed.
"Grandpapa, me ride," presently said the child.
" Jump in then, Kitty," and the child curled herself up in the liat tr.^y, aud was presently fast aaleep.
All day theman wheeled his grind¬ stone from street to street, with the <!hild sometimes awake, trotting along¬ side and prattling gaily, sometimes silting or lying in her little cradle.
Wheu darkness came on he turned from the crowded streets and ceased his monotonous ery. He was evidently upon uis way homeward. Westward he went, up O.'cford street and along the i:dgeware road, and through a sido slreet to a small archway. Up this he drove his grinding maehiue into a small yard; there under cover ofa shed, Ue stowed away his barrow, and lifting the sleeping child out of the rough cradle, he carried her tenderly up stairs to a room at the top of the liouse; then laying her on the bed, he proceeded to strike a light. Leaving the caudle burning, ho went dowu stairs agaiu and out inlo the crowded road. There he bought some hot pota¬ toes from an jtinerent vender, some bread and some butter, and a piut of tea at a cofTee shop. This last he put iu a tin lie had brought with him, uud then went back again to his roora. He arranged his purchase to the best efTeet upon the little table, and then proceed¬ ed to wake up the child.
"Wakeup, Kitty, you little sleepy¬ head! Tea is ready; all hot potatoes and everything."
The child sat up, rubbed her eyes, and then scrambled olT the bed and clambered up on her grandpapa's knee.
" Me sleep so, so, loug," holding out her arms to the fullest extent.
"Yes Kitty, and you would have slept all night if I would have let you."
" Good grandpapa, good, uice sup¬ per!" the little child said asshe tried to eat a hot potato.
" Yes, isn't it ftrst rate, Kitty ? Y'ou get it for nothing. Miss Tucker, you know, had to sing for hersupper."
"Not Miss Tucker, graud—Tommy Tucker, Tommy must have beeu a boy, you know."
" Ves of course, Kitty. Well you know he had losing for his supper."
"X will sing, grandpapa," and she slipped oir his knee and stood with her. hands folded reverently, and sang the Doxology at the end of the Evening Hymn. It was not, perhaps, much like the air, but she sang the words clearly aud distinctly iu the child-like voice.
The old man ceaseil eating aa she be¬ gan, and clasped his hand before him loo. A tear atood in his eyo as she liuLshed.
" Very nice, Kitty, there's a dear. You have earned your supper; the po¬ tatoes are not loo hot to eat uow."
Kitty climbed up again ou hergraiid- father's knee, aud ate her supper con¬ tentedly, prattling meantime about a thousaud things. " Now, graudpapa, tell me a story." " What shall it be, pu.ssy'.' Jack the Giant-killer, Puss iu Boots, or Jack ami the Beanstalk, or what'."'
" ruo fair one with tbe Golden Locks, grandpapa.   I like that best."
The old man gravely began his story; but he had not gone faf before the eye¬ lids cloaed over the hlue eyes, and the little head sank on his shoulders.
•'There, Kilty," he said, "that is enough for to-uight. Walte up, dear; say your prayers aud go to bed."
The child roused up a little, uiulress- ed herself—for she was a hanily little womau—aud then came back in her nightgown, climbed up .again ou her grandfather's knee, and folding her hands reiieated a little prayer. Then shesaid, "I have not filled your pipe, grandpapa;" and going to a corner she i\:toh<.,l,ilon!i pipe, and hlled it with tobacco from a poucli the old man handed her, watched until he had lit it aud then held up her faco to be kissed. Now you arecomfle,"she.said ; "Kit¬ ty will go to bed and watch you."
It was not long she watched. In a few miuuies the long fringe drooped over Ihe eyes and the child was asleep. Either the pipe did not draw well or the smoker was more thoughtful than usual; forseveral times he relighted it, each time in a mechanical wuy as if he were thinking deejily. He was a man of perhaps fifty-five years old ; his hair was very gray, hut ho had an upright carriage, and .something of the air of an old soldier. His ej'e waa brightand clear—a kind and honest, anil yet aslirewd eye.
"It is lime totry," he .said at length to himself. 1 have put it oil" long enough. She can never bo more win¬ ning than she is now. If he does not take to her now ho never will. Poor littlepi't-poor little pet! I shall miss her sadly." And his firmlv cut lip •luivered at Ihe thought. " Yes I wiil start to-morrow," he .said, at last. " If it is to be done, it had belter be done at once."
The uext morning a little bundle was suspended uuder the harrow, and with Ihla slight preparation the pair of friends were ready to start upon their journey; Kitty in the higliest glee at the thought of seeing piga and sheep and cocks and hens and geese, and such things.
It was a loug journey, and they did not hurry, but went quietly along, stopping at various villages and amall towns, and earning a few pence by the sharpening of knives, setting of scis¬ sors, and patching up of leaky kitchen utensils.
It was more than a fortnight after they had left London that they reached the end of their journey, a quiet vil¬ lage down in Leicestershire. To Kitty's uubounded astonishment, her grand¬ father had left the grinding machine at their hsulting place the uight before. Hehad, too, dressed himself in what Kitty called his Sunday clothes, and ¦had produced from the bundle a dress for herself which she had never seen before, made of a light gray stuff with hlue shoulder knots. Greatly had Kit¬ ty exalted and danced over thia finery, but was rather snbdued when told that ahe waa not to put it on until the nest
evenlDK. EoweTer,.as shewas.dressed in what had prevIODsly been her best frock, she was contentto wait, and was Indeed delighted when her grandfath¬ er told her- that upon tbls day they were to go In a carriage—yes, a real car¬ riage.
Therewas some little astonishment In the mind of the landlady of the Barton Arms when a fly stoppe^^lt.tbe door, and a quiet-looking penolir,.i«ho from fais^ XtptlghV miOPtiiii.'mmfiked look she took tb b^'agenfieinitn, though apoor one, got out, lifted'out a little girl In a broad-brimmed straw hat, and with only a small bundle in bis haud, entered the door.
' " Can I have a private room, land¬ lady?" he asked. " I shall be atop¬ ping here with my little grand.daugh- ter for two days."
"Yessir; we have a private room. Haveyou any luggage?" " I left it at Loughborough," he said. Greatly was Kitty surprised at the uuusual grandeur of tlieir apart¬ ments. Only to think of one room to sit in and another to sleep In I Fortun¬ ately for the estimation m which their landlady held them, she waa too much' surprised and awed to express her sen¬ timents until she was alone with her grandfather.
It was late in the afternoon when they arrived, and when tea was over Kitty weut to bed, more sleepy than usual for her unwonted excitement. Her grandfather aat by her bedside un¬ til she was fast asleep, and then return¬ ed to the sitting-room and rang the bell. " Will you ask the landlady to step up?"
The landlady came up gladly, for she had been not a little mystified ind puzzled as to who the gentleman with tlio little girl could be, or what eould be their motive in coming to spend two dnys in Lavertou.
" Pray sit down," her guest said when she entered. " I dare say you are somewhat surpriseil at my coming here; but at the present momenti can¬ not explain matters, although, no doubt, you wiil know shortly. Will you be kind euough to answer one or two questions, even if you do not un¬ derstand my motive in asking them ?" The landlady expre.sseil her willing¬ ness to do so.
"Sir John Barton's place is close here, is it not?"
" Uuite close, sir; his gate isjnst at the entrance to the village."
"Has he any servants—his butler, for instance—who have beeu in the famil.y mauy years."
" Lor', yes, sir! He is not a gentle¬ man to change his servants. Mr. Mer- rion, hia butler, has been with "him, man and boj-, nigli thirty years."
"Do vou think I could get to speak t J Mr.'Merrion "'
"Nothing easier, sir! he is down stairs uow. He ateps over sometimes of au evening to smoke a pipe witli my husband in the bar parlor."
" Would you kiudly tell him that a stranger would be glad if he wonld come up and speak to him for a few moments upon a matter of impor¬ tance?"
The landlady left the room to carr.v out tlie request, more and more puzzled byall this mystery.
Iu a minute or two tlicre w.as a tap al the door, and a rather slnut man in undress livery entered.
" Please take a seat. Mr. Merrion. Excuse the liberty 1 have taken in ask¬ ing you to come up; hut when you hear what I have to aay, I am aure you will do so."
"Excuse me, sir," the butler said; " Mrs. Malin has just told me about you, and I don't kuow what you want to ask me, that is, I don't know wheth¬ er you are a lawyer or what you want; and I can only say, anything I can tell you I will, but not If it's going to harm —no, nor worry Hir John."
"Notat all, JSfr. Merrion, and you are quite right. You have, I hear, beeu a longtime in tho family, and are, I see, attached to your master. He is, I believe a proud man.
" Well, yes; he's a right to be that, I expect," the butler s.iid cautiously.
"Quite so, quite so, Jfr. Merrion; but it is sad to thiuk he has no child to eome after bim."
"A3', ay," the butler said, "it is all that." '^
" His only son, as I have heard," his interrogator said, " made a match be¬ neath him, and liis father never forgave him, never saw him again."
"Ay," said the butler, "but that wasn't master's fault. He was away, and the letter telling as how Master Cliarles were ill never got to him for a week aud then he weut on poat haste to France. I know, for he took me with him; and wheu he got down to Mar- sel, we found he was dead and buried, and his wife too ; and that the cliild, who was onl.y a mouth old, was gone- no one knew where. He'd give half his money to kuow."
"Tiiank God, tbank God!" tlieother said; " this is good newa indeed. Poor Kitty! Thauk God !" and he covered his face with his handa and cried.
Por some time the butler eould only gaze at him in astonisliment; at last he said:
"And who may you he, sir? and what do you know of the child."
" I am her grandfather," the man said. "And tlie child is aaleep in the next room."
" I am glad," the butler said, excited- I.V, " ay, as glad as if it were my owu. But why did you never corae before ? I know master advertised in every paper."
"I never saw them. I ouly knew that he had heen written for on the same day I had. He never came, and I supposed would not. I buried my child aud her husband, aud took the baby and have kept her ever since. And I hive her as I loved her mother before her. But she is over five years old uow ; and I thought that it was aliout time to try if her grandfather— who I believed liad never forgiven his aon, even wbeu he kneiv he waa dying —would not take his son's child. Thank God that, from what you say, he will do so."
"Doao!" tho butler said ; "proud aa Sir John is—and he is proud—there is nothing in the world he would not have done to find her out."
The conversation lasted aome time longer, and then Mr. Merrion took his leave, ahd went straight home without, to Mrs. Malin's great disappointment, revealing one word of what had taken place at the long ami mysterious interview.
Tho next evening Sir John Barton was sittiug uloiiD afler hia dinner. A tall, stately man, but witll marks of deep aorrow upou his face. A proud, reserved man, the world said, and in his youth, no doubt truly; a reserved man still, but scarcely a proud one. At the present moment Bir John was won- ileriug over the behavior of hia butler, John Merrion, at dinner. John was ordinarily oue of the most ataid and reapeclful of domestics, but Johu had behaved throughout dinner iu a man¬ ner ijuite unlike himself. If such a thing had uot been outof tlie queslion, lie should have said that Johu Merrion was drunk. He had broken two glasses, he had i>pilled the wine in filling up hia glass, and the man's eyes were cer¬ tainly full of tears. His master liad aaked him waa the matter, and he had replied, "Nothing, Sirjohn;" butof course something was the matter; al¬ though as the footman was in the room. Sir John had passed the matter over. Sir John now turned it over in lila mind. John Merrion had been a wid¬ ower for ycars, and his only sou was head groom. Perhapa one of hia child¬ ren was ill. Sir John had heard noth¬ ing of it, but he thought hewould ring and ask. At thia momeut the door opened a little, and the sound of a man crying was distinctly heard tbrough it, and then the baronet thoughthewasdreaming, when a child; with long, golden hair, with a blue ribbon round herhead, came uptowards him, with an air half timid, yet frank aud confideut, and puttiug her hand in his, said:
"Please, gradpa, my uame is Kitty Barton, and I am come to stay with you and loveyou. Please, this ia papa's likeness and a letter."
And she held out a gold locket, and a letter directed in the well remembered hand-writing of his dead son.
For a moment the baronet sat speech¬ less. Then with a cry of "Thank God for his mercy!" he caught the child up and held her to his heart, while his teara rained dowu upon hersunuy head. "Don't cry, grandpa; don't cry," she said, presently beginning to sab herself at the sightof his emotion. "If grand¬ pa aorry, Kitty go away again."
"No, no, my child ; I am not sorry; I am ouly glad, only very thankful you have come."
Kitty looked up a little doubtfully. Kitty never cry wben she Is glad,"
she said; "she cry when she hurt her- ] self."
For some time the baronet beld ber closely in his arms, kissing her; tben, when he became calmer, he put her down on the rug before the flre, placed tbe letter and portrait by to be examin¬ ed when no eye oould see him, and rang the belh John Merrion entered, hia eyes red with eryiug. . VTfou knMwf tljl»vrJohn7" ., -i >. i Yes, Sir John'tbankiGod sheh^ come?" ¦ ¦ ¦'¦' ¦ .' ' •':'.''.:¦ ':'\-' , i "Ab, Indeed,.thank God!'; and the m'astSrand servant vvruhg each other'i^ bands in the fulness of their fiellngsj "Now, John, send the otber servauts here."
In afew minutes they entered. They had all heard from the butler what had happened, and many of them who had known their late young master were wiping their eyes aa they entered.
"Listen, all of you," the baronet said, with a proud Joy. "This young lady ia my granddaughter, Miss Barton. She willllve here In future. You wlli look upon her as your future mistress, aud helreasof thisplace. Mrs. Letbridge,'" hesaid to tbe housekeeper, "will you see a bed prepared for her, in the little room next to mine?"
Several of the elder womeu came forward and kissed Kitty, who was lather alarmed at all this, and the housekeeper said, "Will you eome, my dearie?"
"No, thank you," Kitty answered, taking tight hold of the baronet's hand; "I would rather ataywith grandpa," When they had all left the rooi^, Kittty took her seat on a footstool at Sir John Barton's feet, and looked gravely into the fire; while the baronet stroked her hair quietly, aud had difli¬ culty lu persuadiug himself it was ail true.   Presently Kitty spoke.
"What a big flre, grandpa. I never aaw such a big fire, and it is hardly cold at all. What a lot of money it must cost!"
"It is a large room, Kitly, and you see I was all aloue ; so I had a fire for com¬ pan.v."
Kitty opened her eyes a little wider even than usual and remained aome time in thought. The result of lier re¬ llection showed itself iu her uext speech:
"Pleaae, grandpa, Kitty is hungry ; she wonld likesome aupper."
The baronet hastily rang the bell. The butler appeared.
"John, bring a tray with some tea and some cold chickeu." "And potatoes," said Kitty. "And potatoea," added the baronet, " if .you have any ready."
"Yes, Sir John ; there ate. sure to he some ready for the supper down ataira." " With their skins on," Kitty aaid agaiu.
"With their skins on, of counae," the baronet aaid, gravely.
When the butler bad left the roora, Kitty again climbed upon her grandfa- tiier'a knee.
"Am I going to have chicken for sup¬ per?" .she asked. "Yes, my dear, if j'ou like it." "Kilty doaeii't know," ahe aaid, ratli¬ er   doubtfully.     "ICitty never   tasted chielveu.   Will it have feathers on?" "No, Kitty, the feathers  are taken off." Kitty looked relieved. "Somelimea Kitty had sausages   for aupper," ahe said in a confidential tone; "hot, you   know;  and  grandpa, you know, my other  grandpa"—she nod¬ ded—"always saved one for Kitty to eat cold for breakfast."
The baronet's brow clouded for a mo¬ ment at the mention of tliis other rela¬ tion to his grandchild ; and then he aaid kiudly:
"Waa he very kind to yuu ? did you love him very much, your other grand¬ pa?"
"Kitty loved him ao much," the child said, holding out herarms; " big¬ ger, much bigger; he so kind to Kitty. Poor grandpa very aad tn-da.v, and cry, you know; that make JCitty sorrj'.— Poor grandpa!"
The baronet felt by his own Joy at finding her how great must be the sor¬ row of giving her up.
"Is he in the village now?"   he ask¬ ed. Kilty nodded.
"Gave Kitty a message. If you want to see him you write ; he come here in tlie morniug."
"Very well, dear," the baronet said. "I'll senil for him. And uow, Kitty, do you like dolls ?"
Kitty nodded very decidedly this time.
"Kitty got two dolla ; one new, only legs, broken ; old one got no head."
"I wiil get you a big one, Kitty, and a doll's house, and a Noah's ark, and all sorta of toys."
Kitty's eyea opened wide in astonish¬ ment at all this wealth of things wliidi was to pour in upon her ; hut further conversation waa stopped by tlie entry ofthe butler witli the tray. John Mer¬ rion put the things ou llie table, and then, in some perplexity, placed a chair, and put a cushion upou it to raiae the aeat.
"No, no," Kitty said, "me sit on grandpa's knee. Grandpa, move chair to table."
The baronet did as he was told, and Kitty ate her supper then in triumph, and pronounced the chicken to be very good, but not so good as sausages. The potatoes she ]iroiiou need lo be decidedly inferior.
"Man at corner," she exclaimed, "sell bigger tlial;" aud held up her two tiny closed hands ; "much bigger for-a penny. Good mau always give Kitty big, big 'later." When she finished, she said : "Kitty go to biid now, grandpa; Kit¬ ty sleepy. Me say prayers first." And then, kueeling ujiou her grandfather's lap aud clasping her bauds, she repeat¬ ed her usual little eveniug prayer, end¬ ing with " God blesa both my grandpas, and make Kitty gooii child for Christ's sake, Amen. Now rae sing hymn," site said, and stauding hy the baronet's knee she sang two verses of the Even¬ ing Hymu. The baronet was deeply aflTected. "Praise God from whom all bleasinga flow, indeed," he repeated lo himself when ahe liad been carried off by tlie housekeeper. "I am indeed thankful for thia darling ; at leaat. If the man robbed me of a sou, be haa reatored me a child In my old age."
Atten o'clock thenext day the knife- grinder waa shown into tile library of Sir John Barton. Tbe men bad never seen each oilier before, and each bad cherished a deep feeling of wrong against each other. Before a won! was spoken each looked llie olher luli in the face, and tlie scrutiny in either case waa satisfactory. There was a lit¬ tle diflerence between tliem iu height; Sir Jolin Barton was five years the el¬ der, but he looked more than hia real age. Both wera proud men iu tlieir way, but the baronet was liie leaat un¬ bending of the two.
The gueat commenced the conveisa- tion.
".Sir John Barton, until yesterday I thoughtaslll of you us you have, no doubt, thought of me. I have learut my error ; it is for me to couviiice you of youra; I come to you frankly. Our raukainlife are difTerent, hut in our grandchild we have one great aim aud oliject in common."
Up to thia time both men had been standing; but here, iu compliance with a geature from the baronet, each took hia seat, facing tho other acrosa the hearth-rug. The gueat theu con¬ tinued:
"I will tell you roy story first, sir. I was the son of au ironmonger in a large way of buaiueaa In Nottingham, and waa intended by ray father to suc¬ ceed to his business. He gave mea fair education at the grammar scliool of the Iilace. Like moat hoys, I had a taste for adventure, aud wheu I was seven¬ teen I had an altercation with my fa¬ ther about the shop, ran awav aud en¬ listed iu the Tenth Foot. My I'ather found out what I had done, and wrote to purchase my discbarge, but I refus¬ ed, aud went out to India with my regi- meut. I was a steady, well-conducted man, and soon obtained my sergeant's stripes. When iu India, I heard of the death of my father—my mother had died many years before—and also that wben his business was wound up, the surplus remaining was very small, a few hundred pounds, which waa placed to my credit in England. Af¬ ter I came hack I fell in love and mar¬ ried. My wife was the daughter of a French emigre with nothing but her good looks and kind heart. 1 purchas¬ ed my discbarge, and with my little property bought aud furniahed a bouse at Deal, where we let lodgings. My wife managed tbe house, aud I gave lessons in fencing and drill to the few scholars there and to casual vialtois.— We had one child. When she -was ten years old I lost my wife, and after that
all my feelings centred In my bhlld.— I watched oVer her'aiid Irived her as only a' nian'cain love his oiily child. So IKlnga wept oh' iintily our'son came to Us. I knew nothin'gof him—was Ignorant that he was the only son of a baronet andJieir:to a. large estate. I knew j-nothing of It.^ until one day I came home and'found my^child' waa gone, and a'iettetfioil .hev aayirig that she
^ag'aS pwndJ^sltj.-Of (my gobdWiiijlfe;^ yoU;c6ijldbeo'f.ydur.s. . I.shranfc from th^ii'deat.hatit<sbpuld'..b'e .saiiii.tbat X <had'beeti a.party tb.my child taking in' —I knew how the worhiiwuuld put it —the heir of a rich und ancient family, and I wrote to say that until you ac¬ knowledged the marriage and approv¬ ed of it, 1 would not dp to. My pride, sir, waa less deeply 'grounded than yours. Kate wrote to rae from .the soulh of France, where they had taken up their residence, to aay that you would not relent, and that they were penniless.
No(V, air, my pride urged me to do the thing which it had before prevent¬ ed my doing. Isold my house and fur¬ niture—sent every penny to tbem, and set to work with my own hands to sup¬ port myself. Huah, Sir John Barton- there are uo thanks, no acknowledge¬ ments due. . I tiid what I conceived to be my duty; you did whatyou believed to he youra.. Months after, a letter reached me from my dear child. Her husband was attacked with cholera. She bad a little girl, and had no friend but mysel'. She implored me to come on. Fortunately, I had a few pounds by mc, and I hurried to Marseilles. I fouud Kate dying and that her husband had expired three days before. She told me you had been written for at the same time with myself. I haye since heard tbat you did not receive that letter until a week after. I closed my dear child's eyes, I laid her by the aide of Iier husband in the stranger's cemetery at Marseilles and then flndlng you did not come, aud supposing you would noc forgive, I took the baby and came home to England. Sluce then, sir, I have kept her—have brought her up. I trust, kindly and well. At flrst the nomad life I led could do her no harm, but as she grew up I saw that it waa for her good tbat she should regain her lost place in the world. I thought you might grant the forgiveness to tbe grandchild I believed you had refuaed totheson. I came down here and found tbat I had mistaken you—that it was only an unfortunate accident wbich kept you from standing beside your son's grave, and then I waa able to re¬ sign Kitty to you, aecure, at least, of her future."
The baronet had listened, deeply moved ; once or twice he had tried to interfere, but the speaker had atopped him with a peremptory gesture. When he ceased. Sir Johu Barton rose and took botll handa of the other:
" I liaye as yoa suppose, long mis¬ taken you, as you have, with greatly more reason,mistaken me. Yours now is thetriumpli. Begenerous.sir. Yougave up tliia child to me—this child whom, much aa X love her already, you muat love far more. At least share her with me. Make this your home. My wliole hope, my whole aim in life, now is in tbis child and her happi nesa. Stop aud aid me to bring her up."
" I thank you, sir," the ex-sergeant, said: " I thauk you from my lieart for I feel that your Invitation is no idle compliment; butit is out ofthe question. Your rank in life is infinite¬ ly above mine; and I—yes, I am only too proud to accept a poiitiou like this."
"Your pride, then, is worse than mine," the baronet said, warmly. "I am, 1 acknowledge, a proud mau ; but I am not too proud to feel wilhout bit¬ terness that my sou waa supported by your generosity, that your hand laid him iu the grave, thatyou have brought up this child. Think you that I, a rich man, with no meaus of spending my wealth, can ever repay such obliga¬ tions as these? Dn you lliink that sharing thia house with you could ever make me feel that my debt was can¬ celled? Aud do you forget the child? Will you go away from her, and take from her the friend who haa heretofore been a father to her ? Sir, .you thought me proud; what ia my prideto yours?" Tbe old aoldier was cvideutly moved with the addresa and at the extreme earnestness and aincerity with wliich it was spoken. Tlie b-tronet saw his advantage, and rang the bell: " Send Miss Barton here." There was a silence until Kitty enter¬ ed. With aery of joy she ran up to the old soldier.
"Oh, grandpa, grandpa! lam so glad! Kiss Kitty! I am so happy! New grandpa so kind to Kitty; hut me want old grandpa too."
" He wou't stay with j-ou, Kitty," the baronet said, " hewanta togoaway, inatead of living here with us. Come, air," he aaid, "give way for tbe sako of our dear child. You ahall have your own apartments, where Kitty can spend part of the day with you. Y'ou can live the life of a hermit tbere if you like. Nothing I cau do for you cau ever make me otherwise thau your debtor. Surely the house is large enough to bold Kitty's two grandpas, cli.i'i.itty'?"
And so the ex-sergeant gave in. For a time he went away, and then came, back again and took up his residence- he said temporarily, but he never left it —at the Hall. At first he kept to the suite of apartments appropriated to him; hut gradually he responded to the heartiness of the baronet's manner, aud became his permanent guest; aud uone of the visitors at the Hall who were introduced to the fine military- looking mau who was Miss Barton's grandfather ever guessed that he had supported Miss Barton aud himself by griuding kniyea and sciasors and mend¬ ing pota aud pana. Under the joint care and guardianahip of the two meu it may be imagined that Kitty grew up a rather apolled hut lovely girl; and when ahe married at the age of eiglit¬ een, the sou of a neighboring nobleman, with the perfect approbatiou of her two adopted fathers (aud upou that occasion, by tbe expre.sa wisli and assent of Sir John Barton the firat grandfather gave her away,) it isdiflicult to say whiohof the two she most loved and honored. Both lived iu accord and friendship long enough to see the liappiness of their darling, and to nurse her chiidioi upon their knees.

CHRISTMAS' AMONG• THE FBKED-
¦MENi •• '¦"¦¦• -" • It was our-first Cbristmas outside ofYankeedom. WehWMriMy found tbat many customs,:pf-.>h'#; Sonthern people, differed very niflc^„frb(n our own; bufehad not yet learned Ww.dif¬ fered! tiy they.: kept ttielr.tlioUdavs, .-So when: wevwete iiDiisea itliiit Cbriatmas 'Aiorulhg in 'Washington by the firing of' craekers'and torpedoes, which *e Y'ankees ajipropTiate exclusively to- In- dependence'day, we rubbed our eyea In bewild^rraent, and thought we must have awaked from a Eip Van Winkle nap, to flnd it Fourth of July, and our¬ selves iu the neighborliood of Boston Commou.
But uo. When we looked out of the window there was no appearance of July, aud the houses opposite didn't look at all like Boston.. Still tbe crack¬ ers and torpedoes kept up their shrill duet, aud now and then a cannon thun¬ dered out its bass. Bo we dresaed in double-quick time and hurried down stairs, to find out what itall meant.
At the dining room :door we met Chloe, bringing up tbe breakfast.
" Christmas gIP, Missus," said Chloe, before we bad tiino to apeak.
The colored people, instead of wish¬ ing you " merry Christmas," say " Chriatmaa giP," which meaus that they expect a present. ¦ ¦ " What is the matter?" we aaked. "Dunno," said Chloe, "Why, Mis¬ sus, you looks jes'like you were scar¬ ed."
"What is all this firing for ?" we ask¬ ed again.
"Why, it's Christmas," eajd Chloe ; and she opened her eyes wide, as If abe thought we were out of oursenses.
"But what has Christmas to do with it?"
"Laws, Missus, dey alius flres dese yer Christmas ; dat ain't noHln."
So we began to underatand that thia waa another of the atrange cuatoma of thia plaoe.   And a very atrange one in deed it seemed to us.
All the morning tbe firing of crackers and torpedoes and cannon kept on, aud horns and trumpets added to the noise; so that we were lieartily glad when dinner-time came, and everybody found something more intereating than pow¬ der to dispoae of.
We had been aaked to asaist in tbe preparation fora Chriatmaa dinner that was to be given to the pallenta in tbe colored hospital, children from several colored schools, and a number of poor people who were taken care of by the Frcedmen's Bureau, making iu all about six hundred persons.
The diuner waa to be In the large din¬ ing-room of tbe hospital, and when we went up early In the morning to make preparations, we found a crowd of chil¬ dreu hanging round the doors and windows, curious to see all that was go¬ ing on ; and Uncle Ben, the ho.spital cook, with a red haudkerchief tied round hia neck, the ends hanging down behind, and an old military cap aet wrong side foremoal on the back of h la- head, chasing them with a big ladle, and Ihrealening to "chop 'em all up wid der axe au' bile 'em fer soup, ef dey didn't clar out ob dis yer."
We locked the doors, which it had not occurred lo Uncle Beu to do, pin¬ ned newspapers over tho windows, to keep out prying eyes, and went to work. The room was decorated with fiags, aud featooua and wreatiisof evergreens; and iu the centre of each table was a tree witli sugar canary-birils fastened to the branches, looking so niituial that someof thecliildren wanted to "lieardo birds sing."
Everything was doue to make this a pleasant day for the colored people, old and young, who often mourned sadly over the deiiarted glories of the " Cliriy t- masat oie niassa's." Thinking of this o/i/,i/, they seemed sometimes almost willing to go back to their oid life again even aa the Jewa in the wilderness were ready sometimes to "go dowu into Egypt" ouce more, for the sake of aome of tiie pleasures which they re¬ membered.
Ciiristmas is tlie great holiday of the yearall through the South, and p:irtic- ularly amoug tiie colored people. When they were slaves, they ate and drank and made merry from Cliristmaa to Twelt'th day,—that is, tho twelfth day after Christmas; and on Twelfth Night tliey closed their holiday witli a great eulertaiuincnt,—au old EngilaU ciia¬ tom, whicii the firat settlers iu Virginia brouglit witll theni, and which many of their descendants still observe.
I ouce asked au old colored woman, " Why did the colored people think so much of Cbristmas, Aunty ?"   ,
" Well, Missus, dar wor dilTen' tings. We all gol new clo'ea Christmas, an' ebery od'er year a new blanket, an' we didn't hab no work, an' dat wor ail ber¬ ry good. Den we all 'joyed oursel'a to- geder one ino'tlmc, 'fore da'tarcoined." Y'et nolwilhalanding this sad associa¬ tion Willi the time, liieir tliouglits re¬ verted pleasantly to the good thinga they enjoyed. for they are aliiio.st chil¬ dren in tbeir love of gayety.
So this Christmas dinner pleased them very much; aud they came wilh hap¬ py, holiday faces, and seemed to enjoy everything lo the utmoat. 'ifhe eldera behaved with great dignity and propri¬ ety, hut there were some comical acenea among the children.
The platea -.vere filled before the doors were opened. There were tur¬ key, roaat beef, boiled ham, and plenty of vegetables; aud bealde each plate waa a amaller one, containing pie aud cake aud a paper of caudy,—all unaccustom¬ ed delicacies, that were eagerly dis¬ patclied by tlie hungry children. Ma¬ ny of them seized upon the sweet things first and devoured tiiem iiefore they touched the aubstantials.
But I noticed one boy, who, iustead of eating hia dinner, piled tbe contents of his plale around the edge, leaviug a clear space in the centre, and tben aat lookiug anxiously toward the kitchen as if waiting for something. I weut to him aud asked if there was any¬ thing he wanted. Ho auswered me with one word, "Ca'b'ge." I went to the kitchen. " Uucle Beu," I said, "have you any cabbago ?"
"Laws, yes. Missus, dar's a hull biler full. Alius cooks 'em fer my.se'f. Couldn't eat my dinner uohow widout ca'b'ge, an' dia mornin' cook a heap, kase I spected some deoder folka llkea 'em too."
So I went hack to the dining-room with a disii'of cabbage. The boy waa watching for me. Apparently divin¬ ing my inleulion to fill his plate aud carry the ilish buck, be called out be¬ fore I reached lilm, "Yer bes' leab de dish Iieali, ma'am ; specs I kiu eat it all."
I gave hini the diah and turued  to aome one else.   But in a few moments I again caugbt hia eye fixed appealiug- ly on me. "What Is it ?"   I a.sked. "Mo' ca'b'ge."
I think he must Iiave eaten at ieast two cabbages. Theu he departed, leav¬ iug turkey, pie, cake, aud caudy un¬ touched.
A little gill aboutaeven yeara old waa pointed out to me, with the remark, "That cliild has eaten enough for three men. She has eaten all her own din¬ ner, and all she could snatch from the olher childreu.   Just watch her.
So I watched. She was a curious- looking child; aud, unlike the others, who were generally quite clean and neatly dressed, ahe had on avery short, very dirty skirt, an old shawl tied i:ouud her waist so as to leave her arms free, and no shoes or stockings. She went to achool ; and a few daya hefore Chrialmas her teacher had given ber a quilled akirt, a woolen dreaa, and a pair of ahoea and stockings, iu whicii she appeared one day looking very nice.— Bul the next day she preaented heraelf in her old auit, aa dirty and bedraggled as ever; and being aaked why ahe did not wear her new clothea, said thatshe couldu't git 'loug nohow wid dem ar skirta slingin' roun' her heels. Dey was good'uufffei white folks, but she didu't want 'em. An' she warn't a gwine ter wear shoes, kase dey hurt her feet; but dey sail in de puddle right smart."
But tliough Patsy didn't care much about her clothes, she evidently cared a great deal about ber dinner. The el¬ der people had come in before tbe chil¬ dren, aud some of them, aasoon as they had finished, left the room. She went over to their table, and proceeded In the most leisurely manner from one va¬ cant place to another, eatingevery thing left ou the plates. Then, having secur¬ ed several pieces of bread, she return¬ ed.
Taking her plate, she marched ofl'to tbe kitchen and brought back a boun¬ tiful supply of meat, with whicb and tbe bread she. proceeded to make a sandwich after an entirely new fash-
She laid a piece of bread on tbe table, on It a' piece of turkej, on' top' of that another piece of bread, .then a 'piece of beef, oh .this a slice of hatii, then bread again, tben more turkey: by way of a finishing ' touch she reached over to a neighbor's plate and grabbed a Uandfiil of urfissing, which she laid on topof all and patted .down securely; tbe cbil- dr£hju^ttlien,b«lnkc&11ed toorder to SldBsheputtKe.'entlljostrdotijrei into her hood,'iuid'sat upon it until going- home time. ;    , , '
Aftelrthe singing'there vvaa an ,ad- dii'ess frtim GeneralHdward, aliid' then one from Sojourner Truth, who had on ber turban of red, white, and blue, ahd her shawl made like the American flag, of stars' and stripes. These arti¬ clea are of allk, and werd preaented to heir by a aoeiety of ladies at the West. - Then the "merry Christmas" was 'over, and those who bad enjoyed it ao much went backwlth a aigU to their 'e-frery-day working life.
On our homeward way we eucounter- ed Uncle Henry and John tbe Baptist, two colored preachers, of whom we 'asked, "Have you had a pleasant day?"-
"Oyes," they said smilingly,—Uncle John remarking, "Dar won't nebber be anoder Christmas like dls yer dis side ob deff."
Uncle Henry, in bia genth, pleasant voice, said, "De ladiea done jea' de bea' dey knowed. Dar waa all do 'commo- datlons a body could ax. 'T war all jes'aa ladyfied aa eber I seen. But Gen'al Howard's apeech wor de bes' ob all; dat, top ob de 'commodatlona!"
His satisfaction could flnd no further expression in words, but resolved itself into an exclamation point. The next Sunday, at the hoapital prayer-meet¬ ing, he prayed, iu hia trembling voice, for a "particular blessin' onto de top ob Gen'al Howard's head, an' onto de top of all Gen'al Howard's fam'ly."
He often prayed for his friends by name in this way; aud as I looked at the venerable white head,—iu this case truly a "crown of glory," for It was "found in the way of righteousness,"- aud listeued to thegentle, earnest voice, I thought that surely none of them were ever the worse, and may have been much the better, for these simple words of prayer, that asked for them and theirs a heavenly blessiug.
We have spent more than one Christmas among the -freedmen since tben, but never oue that left with us pleasauler memories.—Our Young Folks.

The noble, lUDplrlng aHsertion that "all men are created equal." and endowed by their i;nv ator wUH ioaltenable rights to life, llboriy. anrd tbe purstsflfof hafiplUeKR, Is no longer n glitteringgeneralltf, a poet's fancy, a philoso¬ pher's specnlaUou, uut the i:ecogn]zed ba.vo of our polilical fabria Tl^e ben]-;n HevcliUfon. which dateA from the Boston Massacre of 177f\ lindfl lis logical completion, Just one century later. In the XVth Amendment, which Rivra to the equal political and civil rights of every man born or naturalized in our Knpiibllc th^ shield'and defense ofthe Federal Constitu¬ tion, ThebilJows of Casie auri iVivlleKemay roarand rage around thatmclr, and may tran¬ siently seera on the point of washing itaway: but Its foundations arc <teep-]aid und slead- fast, and the breakers of Keacilon and Slavery are nurled ngaln.st and dash Ihclr spiny over it in vain.
We do not underrate the forcosoriTedJudlcii and Aristocracy. We do not lorget thata very large minority ofihe American People still hold In-their inmost hearts thai Black!> haveno rights which Whites are bound to rMpect. We fully apDrecfnie the desperation wherewith all the warring eltmenlH of hatred to Itepublican ¦achievement will be combined and htirl«>il against tlie battlements of Itepublicau ascend- eucy In the Presldenthil Klccilon of I«72. Wh do not doubt that local snoceNse.s, facllltate<i by Repuhllcan feudal and dlntien.slons, will in¬ spire Ihe charging host with a .snngulne hoj>i> of victory, such ua nevrcti itto pnt forth Its ut¬ most strength in the earlier slaee of the con- tests of ISfll and l»w. Yet our faith Is clear »od strong that the Aniet'lcan People still hies-t Ood that, on thf» red battle-lie l.i.-* ofour lan. Civil War, the Union wh« upheld and Slavery destroyed, and will never coii.sciouftly dechh- that *iie preciou.s blood theruou poured out was hivlshed In vain.
TheTitincNKbellevrs In the prosecution of tlie greal Htrugcle by legitimate meuns tobL-n- eilcent ends. To .State Sovereignty, It oppose.-* IndlHsolnblu Natlotial Intfgrily; to slavery for Blacks, lilberty for All: to Pro.'-crlpilon, Kdminchlsement;to I'optihir Ignorance, Uni¬ versal Kducailon ; to luienslty and eteniiiy of wrathful Hate, universal and Invliiclblu Oood Will. It would fain do Its utmost to hasten theElad duy when thesouth shall vJi^ with the North in exultailon and grntltudo over the disappearance of (he last tracn or Laint or that spirit which iuipelled Man loex- ult In the ownership and chattulhooti f>f his fellow man.
Profoundly do we realize Ihat the cont(;.st H notyetended—that Millions mourn, more nr less publicly, the downfall of the alHveholilerw' Confederacy, and rear tbelr children to but.- those by whoae valor ami constancy Us over¬ throw was achieved. If we ever seem to dll¬ fer cisentlally from other Republ lea us. our conviction that magnanimity I-i never weak¬ ness, that vengeance is never politic, and tliut devils are not csst out by Ueelzehub, tnu>it serve to explain alieged eccentrl(;ltles whoso perft^ct vindication we leave to Time and n^- flection.
