"To go hack to the beginiug—if one, must—there were two women in the parish wheu I was a child who were to a certain extent rivals i11 good looks. Never mind p.trticulare, but in cousequence of this they were at daggers -drawn, and they did not love each other any better when one of them tempted the other's lover away from her and married him. He was a young luau by the name of Winter, and in due time they had a 8011. "The other woman did not marry for many yeare; but when she was about thirty a quiet wan uamed Palmley stilted her to be his wife, and she accepted him. You don't mini when the Palmleys were Long - puddle folk, I>ut I do well. She had a sots also, who wase, of course, nine or ten years younger than the son of the first. The child proven to be of rather weak intellect, though his mother loved him aR the apple of ber eye. ''Tie woman's husband died when the child was eight years old, and left his widow and boy in poverty. Her former rival, Mao a widow, but fairly well provided for, offered for pity's sake to take the child as er- rand -boy, small as he was, her own son being hard upon seventeen, Her poor neighbor could do no beta ter than let the child go there. And to the richer 'woman's house little Palmley straightway went. "Well in some way or other— bow, it was never exactly known— the thriving woman, Mrs. Winter, sent the little boy with a meseage to the next village one winter day much against his will. It was get•• ting dark, and the child prayed to be allowed not to go, because he would be afraid coming home. But the other insisted, more out of thoughtlessness than cruelty, and the child went. On his way back he had to pass through Yalhury Wood, and something came out from behind a tree and frightened him into fits. The child was quite ruined by it ; be became quite a drivelling idiot, and soon afterward died. "Then the other women had noth- ing left to live for, and vowed ven- geance against that rival who had first won away her lover, and now bad been the cause of her bereave- ment. This last affiction was cer- tainly not intended by her thriving acquaintance,though it must be own- ed ti llt when it was dune she seen, ed but little concerned. Whatever vengeance poor Mrs. Palmley felt, site had no opportunity of carrying it out, and time might have softened her feelings into forgetfulness of her supposed wrongs as she dragged on her lonely life. So matters stood stood . when, a year after the death of the child, Mrs. Palmley's niece, who had been born and bred in the city -of Exbury, came to live with her. • "This young woman—Miss Her. rietPalmley-was a proud and band• some girl, very well well brought up, and more stylish and genteel than the people of our village, as was natural, considering where aha carne from. She regarded herself as much above Mrs. Winters and her son in position as Mrs. Winters and her son considered themselves above poor Mrs. Palmley. But love is an unceremonious thing, anti whet in the world should happen but that young Jack Winter must fall woful- ly and wildly in love with Harriet Palmley almost as soon as he saw her. "She, being better educated than he, and caringnothing for the village notion of his mother' superiority to her aunt, did not Rive him much en• couragement. But Longpuddle bee ing no very large world, tliettwo 'fd+ TtY'e�rrrg a good deal atm each other while she was staying there, and, disdainful young woman as she was, she did seem to take a little pleasure in his attentions and W1741)090. 400eciay when they werepicking apples ,fol{tither,, lie aaketl he to ' tuarry hi,pi., Sire kiacl Pot expected auythin eta practleal •40 that tit- Pe early a bole,. apedwas. lea by her eurprise.into .a half•pr'onrise; at any rate`,alie did not absolutely refuee Mite arta accepter conte little preee ente gait be made her. ' "Hat he utter drat her view of Lite watt ratuple village lad than a8 nher yoa8unga nadall to look up. to and he felt, that he roust do some- thing bold Co, secure her. So he said one day, +I am going away to try to gets into a better position thou 1 eau get here.' Iu two or three. weeks he wished her goodaby, and we.ntawey to Monksbury, to superintud a farm, with a view to start as a farm- er himself ; and from there he wrote regularly to tier, as if their marriage were an understood thing. "Now Harriet liked the young man's presents and the admiration of hie eyes; but ori paper be was less attractive to her. Her mother had been a schoJl-mistress, and Har- riet. had besides a natural aptitude for pen -and -ink work, in days when to be a ready v. riter was not such a common t hing us it is now, and when actual Band writing was valued as an accomplishment in itself. Jack Winter's performances in the shape of love letters quite jarred her city nerves and her finer taste, and when she answered one of them, in the lovely running hand that she took such pride in, she very strictly and loftily bade him to practice with a pen and spelliug.book if he wished toplease her. Whether he listened to her request.or not nobody knows, but his letters did not improve. He ventured to tell her is his clumsy way that if her heart were more warm towards him she would not be so nice abont his handwriting and spelling; which indeed way true enough. "Well, in Jack's absence the weak kame that had been set alight in Harriet's heart soon sank low, and at last went out altogether. He wrote and wrote, and Legged and prayed her to give a rea son for her coldness ; and then she told him plainly that he was not sufficiently well educated to please her. ''Jack Wiuter's want of pen -and, ink training did not make him less thin-skinned than others ; in fact he was wofully tender and touchy about anything. This reason that alio gave for finally throwing him over griev- ed him, shamed him, and mortified him more than cal be told in these titues, the pride—of being able to write beauliful flourishes, and the sorrow at not being able todo so, raging so high. Jack replied to her with an angry note, and then site hit back with smart little stinger, telling him how many words he had misspelt in hie last letter, and de- claring again that this alone was efficient justification for any wo- man to put an end to an understand - ng with him. Her husband must tie a better scholar. "He bore her rejection of him in ilence, but his suffering was sharp —All the sharper in being untold. She communicated with Jack no more ; and as his reason for going ut into the world had been only to provide a home worthy of her, he ad no further object in planning uch a home now that she was lost o him. He therefore gavo•up the arming occupation by which he had oped to make himself a master -far- mer, and left the spot to return to lis mother. "As soon as lie got bask to Long- uddle he found that Harriet had Ir•ea,ly looked wi', favor upon an- ther lover. He was a young road oulractor, and Jack could not but dinit that his rival was both in man- ors and scholarship much ahead of im. Indeed, a more sensible etch for the beauty who had been ropped into their village by fate ould hsrdly have been found than hie man, who could offer her so uch better a chance than Jack ould have done, with his uncertain uture and limited abilities for grap- ling with the world. The fact was o clear to him that he could hardly lame her. "One day by accident Jack saw n ascrap of paper the handwritting f Harriet's new beloved. It was owing like a stream, well spelt, he work of a man accustomed to he ink bottle and the dictionary, of man already called in the parish good scholar. And then it struck 1 of a sudden into Jack's mind hat a contrast the letters of this oung man must make to his own iserable old letters, and how ridio- lous they must make his lines ap- ear. He.groaned and wished he ad never written to her, and won- ered if she ever kept his poor per - nuances. Possibly she had kept em, for women are iu the habit doing that, he thought, and hilat they were in her hand there ae always a chance of his honest, upid love assurances to her being ked over by Harriet with her pros. t lover, or by anybody who ould accidentally uncover them. "The nervous, moody young man uld not bear the thought of it, and -,lflq»w.�,•pjled.::to-aal:l�oa��to�,a..-�• urn thaw, as was proper when en- gements were broken off. He was me hours in framing, copying and copying the short note in which made his request, and having s 0 h e h P a 0 c a n h m d 0 t m c f P s b 0 0 fl t a a al w y m u p h d fo th of w w at jo en ab c0 t ga 80 re he gtriehed'it, he sent ft to her house Rio messenger came ba* With the answer, by ,word of rnouth,'that lilies• i.'alpaley bade htna say :she 8bQuld JaQt part wi h what was hers, and wandered at hiis baldness iu troubling ber. "Jack wee, much affronted at this, and deterwiuod. to. go for his letttere himself. ;He chose a time when he knew she Wee at home„ and knock- ed and went in without much °ere' mony ; for though Harriet was sa high and Mighty,Japk had small re- spect for her aunt, Mrs. Palmley, whose little child bad been hie boot cleaner in earlier days. Harriet was in the room, this being the first time they had met eiuce she had jilted him. ,He asked for his letters with a stern and bitter look at her, "At first she said he might have them for all that she cared, and took them out of the btrreau where she kept them. TLen she glanced over outside of one of the packet, and suddenly altering his mind, she told him shortly that his request was a silly one, and slipped the letters in- to her aunt's work box, which stood opeu on the table, locking it, and saying with a banteriug laugh that of course she thought it beet to keep 'em, since they might be useful to produce as evidence that she had good cause for declining to marry him. "He blazed up hot. "Give me those letters 1' he said. 'They are mine.' U `No, they are not,' she replied ; 'they are mine.' "' Whos'ever they are I want them back,' says he. '1 don't want to be made sport of for my penmanship : you've another young man now ! He has your confidence, and you pour all your tales into hie ear. You'll be showing them to him 1 •"Perhaps,' said my lady Harriet, with calm coolness, like the heart- less woman that sho was. "Her manner so maddened him that he made a step towards the work -box, but she snatched it up, locked it in the bureau, and turned upon him triumphant. Fora mom• ent he seemed to be going to wrench the key of the bureau out of lief hand ; but he stopped himself, and swung round upon his heel and went away. When he was out of -doors alone, and it got night, he walked about, restless, and stinging with a sense of being beaten at all points by her. He could not help fancying her telling her new lover or her acquaint antes of this scene with himself, and laughing with them over those poor blotted, crooked lines of his that he had been so anxioue to ob- tain. As tho evening passed on he worked himself into a dogged reso- lution to have thein back at any price, come what might. "At the dead of night he came out of his mother's house by the back door, and creeping through the garden hedge went' along the the field adjoining till he reached the back of ber aunt's dwelling. The moon struck bright and flat upon the wall,ttwas said, and every shiny leaf of the creepers was like a little looking glass in the rays. From long acquaintance Jack knew the arrangement and position of everything in Mrs. Palmley's house as well as his own mother's. The back window clone to him was a casement with small leaded squares, as it is to this day, and was, as now, one of two lighting the sitting room. The other, being in front, was closed up with shutters, but this back one had not even a blind, and the moonlight as it streamed in showed every article of the furniture to him outside. To the right of the room is the fire -place, as you may remember ; to the left was the bureau at that time ; inside the bureau was Harriet's work -box, as he supposed (though it was really her aunt's), and inside the work- box were his letters. Well,,he took out his pocket knife, and without noise lifted the leading of one of the panes, so that he could take out the glass, and putting his hand through the hole, he uufastened the casement, and climbed in through the opening. All the household—that is to say, Mrs. Palmley, Harriet, and the little maid-servant—were asleep. Jack went straight to the bureau, so he said, hoping it might have been unfastened—it not being kept locked in ordinary—but Harriet had never unfastened it since she secured her letters there the day before. Jack told afterward how he thought of her asleep upstairs, caring nothing for him, and of the way she had made sport of bim and of his letters ; and having ad- vanced so far, he was not to be hindered now. Jack, by forcing the large blade of his knife under the flap of the bureau, burst the weak lock ; within wee the rose- wood work -box just es she had placed it in her hurry to keep it from him. There being no time to to spare for getting the letters out of it then, he took it under his arm, shut the bureau, and made the beet of his way out of the house, latching the casement behind and refixing the pane of glass in its place. e" -Winter -found ,.his_. ways . hack...ta.• his mother's ae he had come, and being dog-tired crept up stairs to bed, hiding the box till he could destroy its contents. The next morning early he set about doing this, and carried it' to the balmy fi the, back of hie Mother's dw.el.l>cg.- Hore by°ihe.. hearth he *opened. the box,. rad began burning .one by one the 'letter's 'that bad.- coat .him No much labor tis writs and shame to think of, meing to return the box to FIarriett, anafter repairing tie alight damage he bad caused it by opening it without .a key, with a note -.—the last she would ever re- ceive from bine—telling her trium- phantly that in`refusieg to return: what he lied asked for she had cal- culated too surely upon his submis• aion to her whims. "But on removing the last letter from the box he received a shock ; for underneath it, at the very bet - tom, lay money—several golden guineas—'Doubtless Harriet's pock- et -mousy,' he said to himself ; though it was not, but Mrs. Palm ley's. Before he had got over hie qualms at tin's discovery ho heard footsteps coming through the house passage to where he was. In haste he pushed the box and what was in it under some brushwood which Itry in the linhay ; but Jaok had already been seen. 'Two conetablea entered the ont house, and seized him as he knelt before the fireplace, securing the work box and all it ooutained at the same moment. They had dome to apprehend him on a charge of breaking into the dwelling house of Mrs. Palmley on the night pre- ceding; and almost before the lad knew what had happened to him they were leading him along the lane that connects thatend of the village with this turu-pike road, and, along they marched him between 'em all the way to Caster'br'idge jail. "Jack's act amounted to night burglary—though he had never thought of it—and i,urglaty was felony, and a capital offence in those deye. His figure had been seen by some one against the bright wall as he carne away from Mrs. Palmley's back window, and the box and money were found in hie possession, while the evidence of the broken bureau lock and tinker- ed window pang was more than enough for circumstantial detail. Whether his protestation that he went only for his letters which he believed to be wrongfully kept from him, would have availed him any- thing if supported by other evidence 1 do not know ; but the one person who could have borne it out was Harriet, and she acted entirely su- dor the sway of her aunt. That aunt was deadly tower'?s Jack Winter. Mrs. Palwley'e tune had come. Here was her revenge upon the household which had ruined and deprived her of her one heart's nese- me—her little son. When the ae- size weak drew on, and Jack had to stand his trial, Harriet did not ap- pear in the case at all, which was a1 - lowed to tape its course, Mrs. Palm - ley testifying to the general facts of the burglary. Whether Harriet would have come forward if Jack had appealed to her is not known ; possibly she would have done it for pity's Bake ; but Jack was too proud to ask a single favor of a girl who had jilted him ; and he let her alone. The trial was a short one, .and the death sentence was passed. "The day o' young Jack's execu— tion was a cold dusty Saturday in March. He was so boyish and slim that they were obliged in mercy to hang him in the heaviest fetters kept in the jail, lest his heft should not break his neck, and they weighed so upon hire that he could hardly drag himself up to the drop. At that time the goverment was not strict about burying the body of an executed person within the precincts of the prison, and at the earnest prayer of his poor mother his body was allowed to be brought home. All the parish waited at their cottage doors in the evening for its arrival : I remember how, as a very little girl, I stood by my mother's side. About eight o'clock, as we hearkened on our door -stones in the cold bright star- light, we could bear the faint crackle of a wagon from the dirce. tion of the turnpike -road. The noise was lost as the wagon drop- ped into a hollow, then it was plain again as it lumbered down the next long incline, and presently it entered Longpuddle. The coffin was laid in the belfry for the night, and the next day, Sunday, between the services, we buried him. A funeral sermon was preached the Same afternoon, the text chosen being, 'He wife the only son of his mother and she was a widow.' . , , Yes, they were gruel times. "As• for Harriett, she and hey lover were married in due time ; but by all account her life was no jocund one. She and her good man found that they could not live comfortably at Longpuddle, by reason of ` her connection with Jack's misfortunes, and they settled in a distant town, and were no more heard of by us; Mrs. Palmley too, found it advisable to join 'em shortly after. The dark -eyed, gaunt old Mrs. Winter, remember- ed by the emigrant gentleman here, was, as you will have foreseen, the Mrs. Winter of this story ; and I can nivel11-call•- to -mind= haw -= lonely- - -otos she was, how afraid the children were of her. and how she kept her- self as a stranger among us, though she lived so long.--Harper's Month- ly.
