Winterdyke and his people tome back the most triumphant *of. all, with two spades and a pick, which thet English gentleman and his servant, be- ing most forward in the pursuit, had captured When they were thrown away by the flying fenmen. Their thanks and praises woe showered upon Grace, who had taken such a wet and weary journey to save the level. "And liarnmerion sent you, child," said Winterdyke'"and should have come • hiniself, but that he was ill of the marsh fever 1 would not have believed there Wile that much good in him, if any one else bad sworn it to me." “Oh, but there is, air," snitl Grace; “it was he 'that sent nie, and told me how to come; surely you'll give him back his cottage now, and all the geese you haven't, eaten, for you know they are his own. Won't you help te.,‘ get them back, sir?" she continued to Sir George Barclay, who stood looking at her with manifest interest. "I can show you the short way between this and Rushton now." "Thank you, my girl; but I don't ex- actly want the way to Rushton," said Sir George, smiling; but I am sure Mr.' Winterdyke does not wish to keep your father's house and goods." "I am sure I don't want to keep any man's house and goods," said Winter - dyke, his broad face getting red as the fire, for Sir George's eye was upon him, and the Dutchman wished to stand well with his future lord; "nothing but hon- est gettings for me; but there was no dealing with that Hatnmerson, he would have murdered, he would have drowned U8 all." "Well, he has saved your lives now ; theft have oeen faults on both sides,' I fancy; let bygones be bygones, and give the man back his own ; build an- other house for yourself, and I will give Hugh Hammerson a farm out of the level which he and. his brave little daughter have saved ; it will descend to her after him in memory of that good service," said Sir George. “And Mr. $Vinterdyke," said Grace, catching at the great opportunity, "won't you give me back my bodkin now? "That I will," said the Dutchman (the escape had softened his heart) ; you know I took it only to keep it safe; but here it is," he continued, unlocking his valise and putting her often despaired of treasure into the girl's fingers. Grace looked at it with great joy. 'I'll go back 4"i:high and tell him all about she thotight he won'tetbink of taking it from me or selling it now," But Sir George Barclay had stepped up -and laid his band on her shoulder. "Tell me, where did, you get that -pin, child ?" itiV said, gazing first on the jewel and then on her with a look so earnest and astonished that it fright- ened Grace. "It was in the clothes that were wrap- ped about me when Hugh Hammerson found me floating in the flood that drowned Reedsnaere nearly eleven. years ago. Yes," said Grace, recollecting, "it is just eleven years this very night; I was a very little thing, and dOn't re- member it, but Dame Hammerson :told me all about it, and that is why they call me Grace Found." "Show me the pin," said Sir George, taking it out of her fingers and stepping near to the light. He turned the bod- kin over and over, examined the crest, read the inscription, appeared to be counting the lily leaveand topaz seeds; and all the. while his face worked and changed like that of one makina out some strange and great discoverYr t'Then be made a sign to Grace to come aside with hira, questioned her on the whole story of her being found in the flood, heard all the particulars of the ship that went to pieces the same night, the fine clothes that were wrapped. about her, and how Dame Hammerson found the bodkin sticking in the fur collar of one of them and warned her never t� part with it, for Providence might make it the instrument of finding her friends and reIatic,ns. Grace told all as clearly as she could, and then, looking up into his still working face, said: "Is the bod- kin yours, sir ?" "It is, my child," said Sir George, clasping her in his arms, "and you are mine, too ; your name is not Grace Found, but Christina Barclay, my only daughter, and the heiress of all my pro- perty. Listen, I got this bodkin made -by a famous goldsmith of Amsterdam; it was on of my wedding presents to your *Mother, who was a lady of that town. There is good Dutch blood in your veins, my girl; no wonder you took so kindly to the Hollanders. I had served. as a volunteer in the Dutch war against the Spaniards; it was waged for liberty and religion, and in it I won the crest which I have worn ever since, and which you see engraved on this bodkin. The valiantstadtholder, Prince of Orange, himself conferred it on me, he was pleased to say, for signal services. Your mother and I were married. in Am-, sterdani, and remained there for nearly three years: There you were born and baptized, but the death of my elder brother obliged me to return to Scotland and look after my family estates in Aberdeenshire. Your mother and you were to follow with all our household in a few months. They did embark in the good ship `Vanderkemp,' bound for the port of Aberdeen ; but in a sudden storm and fog the good. ship lost its way, was driven far southward, and went to pieces on the North Wash Sands on the coast of the great fen level. Its owners reported the total loss to me, and also that no living thing had escaped the wreek ; yet I have lived to find my child, carriecl by the ocean tide over a drowned village, saved by a hardy fen- rnan, restored. to me through the Chris- tian care and wisdom of that good. wo- man who brought you -up so well in this poor cottage and warned you _to keep the bodkin." "Oh, sir.. if I am really your daugh- ter," said Grace, flinging her arms about his neck--lor the child's heart felt that she had found a father -"let us go to poor Hugh and tell him all; he is ill, he is dying, I am afraid, all alone in his hut under the old rock ; you know he brought me out of the Water at the risk of his life, and he never was bad to me." "Get the horses and the lantern, Simpson," said Sir George ; "we will go at once -and bring poor Hammerson back to his cottage if possible." Before Winterdyke and his people could. recover from their astonishment, or comprehend whothey meant, the party, consisting of some active and trusty men Called up from theltvel,,Sir George, his servant and' Grace --who wonla not stay behind, weary ati She WM for who else shoild show the way or TI -IE HURON carry the joyful intelligence to poor Hugh ?---411 set mit for Rushton 'with lanterns stilts and torches. The horses had to be left behind at the edge of the mere, but the journey was niade with haste and safety; and as Grace opened the door of the hut and stepped in, the .last light of the fire which the had heap- etLso high showed her Hugh Returner - son feebly raising himself and saying, with clasped hands, "God be praised that you are back, child Are the Dutch drainers safe ?" "They are safe and well, and here is a gentleman come to befriend you,and me," said Grace. "The man I wouldn't show the short way to Wildmiore'" said High, as he caught sight of Sir George. "I am sorry for it, sir, but I was angry and ill -mind- ed at the time." "You have done me and, mine service enough to wipe out that and a great deal more," said Sir George, entering at once into explanations of his errand and hear- ing from Hugh a full confirmalon of all that &ace had told hini. He finished by declaring her to be his only daughter. The sick man was removed, as soon as daylight came, to the warmer and bet- ter shelter- of his ancient Cottage. It was by stopping there when the night overtook me in the level," Sir George said, “ttat I found ny long -lost child; so Providenpe bringe reat things out ofsmall, and -here I doubt not, my honest man, that you 'will recover and lead a wiser and better life." The kindly prediction was fulfilled. Notwithstandinghis sore sickness and the failure of the widow's trusted sim- ples, Hugh Hammerson did recover, and lived many a year to enjoy his own cot- tage, his cows, his geese and the iiur- rounding farm of reclaimed' and, which Sir George purchased for kith from his old enemy, Winterdyke. The Dutch- man cot another farm and built himself another house in the same district, but Harnmerson and he were 'enemies I no more. The near prospect of death, 4nd the terrible conflict with conscience, brought Hugh to think seriously, and by God's grace to amend his life and con- versation. When health returned his former.companionsfound him an altered man, willing to advise arid help them into better courses, but neer again in their eempany at fair or alehouse. Whether it was owing to Hugh's reclam- ation, or the disappointment of their beat laid- scheme against the drainers, certain it was that the hostility of the fenmen gradually Subsided from that time; and in spite of the civil war whick raged between King Charles and his par- liament, the fen country wag reclaimed, too. Sir George Barclay bought the Earl of Bedfort's right, became the chief proprietor of what had been the old level, lived to see it a fair and flourish- ing estate of farms and pastire land, and bestowed it as a marriage pertion on his only daughter Christina, .whom all the country praised as a good and gentle lady, wise and charitable as she was beautiful and rich, and known to the old people orthe neighborhood ais the Found- ling of the Fens. ITN END. The Answering, of Letters. Of . all welcome tasks, surely that of answering letters ought to be most eager -1 ly cherished.. Nobody is waited -far with more real anxiety than the postman. Though he come ever so often, he never wearies. What has her brought now? He is like a messenger of destiny, himself uninterested, void of speculation, unstir- red by surprise, as he rapidly passes in his freight, addressed to peeple whom he does not know. In his myetical reposi- tory, which after' all is only la stout black bag, be carries a whole world of conflict- ing ,hop f s and fears. Here,is a thin mis- sive, directed in a treimilous, angular hand, and it has crossed the -sea to tell, in a remote household, of he death of one whom the head of the hoilse calls father, but whom he parted from So many years ago that he has come. -to be little more than a memory. Here is a school- boy's jolly letter home. Here a tender message from friend to friend, sweet and full in its outpouring of affection. What- ever the letter be about, it will be open- ed with expectation, and read with de- sire to take in its purport and intention. Therelis a divine qaiality of beneficence in the postal system, which annihilates distances'and brings the scattered.niera- bers of a family close together,' so that heart feels heart, and hands clasp, theugh miles lie between them. In the olden days, dim and beautiful through the shadows of the past, angels- were wont to visitit, and often tent door and temple portico were thrilled with their flute -like voices. Now, though the gold - cu -winged messengers come no more in visible shape, they have learned to fold themselves up, and to carry their words of cheer or of warning in four-square en- velopes, borne far and near by steam. Every body is delighted to receive let- ters, but few are equally pleased with the work of answering them.. The nature of a.pleasantcorrespondence differs little from that of an agreeable conversation. It would be hard to keep up bright and cheery talk, if one party suffered, hours of other occupation to drift between him- self and his answer: The ordinary way with many People is to read and enjoy a letter and then lay it away in desk or drawer until a convenient season comes for writing a reply. So doing,, the fresh- ness and glow which it awakened have gone by tile time the pen and paper are taken for the return letter. The sense of nearness has'receded.. The duties of the days between, and the pressure of home cares' have laid a pile of accumulat- ted Materials, most of them alien, upon the feelings which the letter awakened. Instead of something vivid, descriptive, charming, and natural, the : effort to write a- duty letter succeeds in produc- ing that which is stiff and artificial as a wax, flower. compared with a real one. If letters were; as a rule, answered on the day a their arrival, or shortly after, they would cease to be a task, and would be regarded as a diversion. Then, too, the thought of formality should be carefully eliminated from them. Certain conven- tionalities help -us to carry on out life- work smoothly and pleasantly, and it is only the boor who thinks that time spent in courteous observances is time thrown a.way. Yet she sib in writing her let- ter to her friend translates her thoughts out of colloquial Eoglish into the English of books is very likely to take out of it the individuality of expression which, would have made it beautiful. A home letter should tell all sorts of little things abbot home. The' bits of fun which en- liven the day,the'domestc incidents,the 'droll sayiiiita of ehildOne and the small and ififid4 neenrrenefili which are undig- njtd but didighit0; hairs their proper Olin's in' • Only one rule ire would make about the answering of letters. If there has been that in the one you received which touched a painful chord in your breast, which awakened harsh, or regretful, or bitter feeling; then be slow vrith your reply. DO not hasten to send away the utterances of a morbid mood:the accents of impatience, or the uPbraidinge of anger. To overcast another's sky by your own transient petulance, or even by your just indignation, is not best. There is a permanence about that which is written which it is unfortunate to give to any but the sweeter and purer emotions of the heart. No lovelier and certainly no more de- sirable accomplishment can be posseseed by a lady than the faculty of writing happy, graceful and gracious letters. The good,correspondent is sure of ap- preciation. As it is an accomplishment within the reach of all, it is worth taking a little pains to secure it. Next to writ- ing one's self out in the best way, the study of such models as are afforded in the recently published lives of men like Lord Macaulay and Norman Macleod, is the most practicable and easily avail- able of help, by way of suggestion, of course, and not of servile imitation, which is always reprehensible.-Harper's Baear. How to Drive a Fast Horse. People talk about a steady, bracing pull; but, in my opinion, that is not the right way to drive a trotter. $ There's a great difference between let- ting go of your home's head, and fn keep- ing up one steady, deadening pill all the time. The pull should be sufficient to feel the mouth and give some support and. assistance, so as to give the horse confi- dence to get up his strides. More than this is miechievous. To keep the mouth alive the bit must be shifted. occasional- ly. But this is not to be done by a pull of the hand on the rein. A mere half turn of the wrist,, or less than half a turn, by which the thumb is elevated and the little fini-or lowered, is sufficient to shift the bit, keep the mouth sensitive, and roase the horse. • The reins are to be steadily held with both hands while this play with the wrist is made, and it is, of course, only to be done with one wrist at a time. The hands should he well down, and the drier ought not to sit all of a heap, with his head forward. Neither should he lean back with bodily weight ou the reins; which in that case are made a sort of stay for him. He should be upright, and what pulling he has to do should be done with the muscular force of the arms. The driver who depends upon the arms has command of the horee. He who substitutes bodily weight With the reins Wrapped around his hands has not half command of the horse or of him- self, either, and if the horse is a puller, he will soon take command of the driver. The reason of it is that there is no inter- mission of the exertion, no let up, either for the man or horse. Besides, in that way of driving, it is fashionable to give those movements of the bit which seem to refresh and stimulate the horse so much. When a horse has been, taught the sig- nificance of the movement--ttic shift by turn of the wrist -he will, never fail to answer it, even though he should seem to be at the top of his speed. The mo- ment he feels this little 'alcove of the bit in the sensitive mouth, he will collect himself and prepare for another apurt ; and the value of this way is that the horse is not likely to break when called upon, while a high strung,generous horse if called upon for a ,final effort with a whip, is as likely to break the ,moment it falls urn him as not. I have won many a very close heat by practibing.this movement, and, there- fore, I hillfe no hesitation in recommend- ing it. It is not difficult to acquire, aid a horse soon cornea to know what it means. -Hiram W °dant" in Sportsmaa. The Guidwife and the Minister. The minister of a certain rural parish in Aberdeenshire, while making some visits among.his lock, called one day at a farm hougt The guidwife, who was not expecting the reverend gentleman, was sitting in the kitchen, busily darning stockings; she had jut noticed that the fire wanted replenishing, when she heard a footstep at the door, and thinking it was oue of the family, she hauled' :out, "Bring.a peat ye, whaever ye be." The minister, who was a bit of a wag, seeing some:peats at the door, immedi- ately entered wilth a peat in his hand. The guidwife, horrified on finding to whom she had addressed her unceremoni- ous &dation, burst out with, "The Lord preserve me, sir .! if I had kent it was you I wad no hae bidden ye tak' a peat. Juist heave't back again.' The Long Headed Celt. A contractor in the highlands was waited upon by -a. deputation from his workers to request him to make no 'pit of difference in the wages, but shust a wee change in the time of paying.' Oa cross-questioning the deputies, he found they wanted to be paid weekly instead of fortnightly, but they also wanted the fortnight's wages weekly. 'Why my lads,' said the contractor, 'you are just demanding exactly double wages.' 'Hoots no, sir,' said one of the deputa- tion; 'it's skint as more as lege as the same wages, but you must shust pay us twice as faster as eves, as before.' After a little parleying, the contractor got his Celtic logicans to resume work at a trifling advance. HENSALL. s4tW _LOGS WANTED.
