They've astonished me sometimes, n I have seen a bit of life. You see, sir, t way of it is this: When we coine into house we fiud the family, as I may sny, of a heap with grieving and sorrowing, they take no heed of us, and we come a go when we like, and no questions ask< that's the way, sir, we got to many a seer Why, look at that business of Mr*.

Crave Very well, sir?it's not a long story eilin Here's to you, sir! Let me see. I should say it was abo fifteen year ago?though a year one way the other isn't much matter. I was wi Pawler then ? I did not go to l>iggins Company till the year after?and 1 rec< lect, one evening about November, a tm snge came down to the yard that Sought was wanted in the office. I went up once, ami found everything in a stir, for great ord'*r had ronio in?a heavy case an old hall far off in the country?a fami vault business as we would say. "You will gel all your staff togetho Pawler said, "and have everything deee and comfortable. I have libers! iiistructioi ho we mu*t do it handsomely, mind yoi We had hard work all that day, culti up the linen ami getting things ready; 1 were to start thai night, and wo found tii short enough. About six o'clock that eve ing. when everything was packed, a Pawler was giving me his hot instructioi (ho was coming down himself Inter,) young man came running into the officefine handsome young man, hut with a fa as white as one of our linen scat fs. lie w very wild Rid staggering, so that, at first thought he was disordered with drink; b I soon saw Irom the black band on his h that ho must be a relation, a mourner, 01 chief mourner most likely. "Am I in time!" says the young mr running up iu jrawier. Paw lor started up. "Good gracious, Mr. Craven, is that yc I thought you were in Fiance." "Am I in timet" says the young mi very fi:ecely. "Answer me!" "Plenty," says Pawler; "they don't go tl hour. Sit down, sir, for God's sake!" "Thank Heaven!" 6ays Mr. Craven; have come night and day for this. List to me, Pawler. I can depend on you." "I hope so, sir," says Mr. Craven; "I ha done businoas with your father and yo grandfather before him, and they were i way* satisfied with me." "I know that," said he; "but what I wa done is this. I can't go down to the Gran till to morrow night. I must slay here, daren't go; but I lay it on you in the m< solemn manner to see that the funeral dt not go forward till I come." "Certainly not, 6ir," says Pawler; ' would be most improper?out of all rul "Ah! but you don't know. Promise i wnalover tuey?any one?may say, t poor father shall not go to his grave wit out my seeing him. But what good is r telling you this? They will havo their ot way. I can't be there!" ' Sir," says Pawler, 'T hope I know r duty. I have your authority, and no m shall get the belter of me in this. Ma yonr mind easy, sir." The young tnan did not say any mo but covered up his face with his hands, a shortly after went away in great troub Wo started not long after, by the nig train?a good many of us, too. 1 took my staff with me, as Pawler said, be*id sotno extra hands, for it was to bo do handsomely, and no expense spared. V had a pleasant party going down, for, loi you, 6ir, a professional can't keep on a s face every day of his life?it's enough look downcast on his duty, or when hi walking?that's what I think. Well, i got to Red Grange early next morningone of your ancient^opeu house, have-wh/ voudike sort of places. Why, sir, when saw the straggling buildings, and the g b!es, A'd the roomy porch, and the lot avenue with its three rows of lime-trees why, I could figure for myself, at plain if 1 was looking at them, the big fami vault, and the family ancestors in marbl at '.lie church hard by, and the tenants i ding upon their stout cobs. These thin limy he known with linlf an aye, as 01 may say. We gol in as quietly as we con into the house?of course keeping out the way of company?for you know, i families have some of 'em a dielike to me< ing us on the stair*. There's no accounlii for these things, sir. As soon a? was decei I sent up a message asking to see wtioev was head of the establishment, as is usui I.sent the stall" into the kitchen, anil we myself to the butler's room to learn the g ographie* of the place. I could have ma a pictuie of him, too, as I went along ll gallery. A most respectable man this w he. sai?l I to myself?with a short lino and a husky voice, with amne of tlis u port in his cheeks, ard more in the pant cupboard. I know them well, they are i oil' the same joint. Well, he w is, as I kne he would he, a most respectable man, ai showed me how many tilings lay in ve few minutes. There was up stairs only Mi Craven, s-eond wife of Welbore (Jrnve Enquire, deceased, and Major Craven, li brother, who managed everything now. " The major wag hero very often." sa the butler, fetching down the port, (I kne ho would;) "very often?ofiener when po Mr. Welbore Craron was up in Lotido He ?m very friendly, (he major," said (be butler, looking herd at me. >ut "Ab!w I 'aid, looking at him; MI eee w- Here during the illneM, Vll errsar!" si. "That he was?the poor roan died bless liie ing biro!" [le "She's young and handsome, I'll waren rant?" said I. I never saw her, sir; but I th. knew she was young and handsome?I did, to indeed, sir! lie "You may say that," says (lie butler; ed "but there's the bell for you." es, So I wont up at once to the drawingr|jt loom. The major was there, sitting at the table is ?a tall dark man, with a moustache, and ce. a little stoop in his chest. A very gentleoy manly man ho w??, sir, and his voice was 4 as soft as a woman's. The room was rather le! gloomy, as the lower shiiltcis were closed; ny and, as well as I could make out. lie seem Ja, oil to be writing at the lablo. lie said: bw "You are the person sent down by Pawiill !* !" ,no "Yes, sir," said I, "at your service." "I have sent for you to beg that evory>er tiling may be in readiness for having the lie funeral to morrow. This is Mrs. Craven's |,e w?fh, for whom I am acting." s|i "Impossible, sir," I said; "it can't be." ii^ "Did you quite understand me!" he saiJ, he vor>' p?litely. a "1 did, sir," I said; "tuy hearing is as a|| good as most people's. Hut what 1 say is so this, and no disrespect to you. that the iutcruieiitof the Into Wolbore Craven, Esquire, cannot take place to morrow. You see my et. chief won't be down, and half the things ,'u, me to come as yet." e|f This wasn't quite the truth, for we might .er have done it at an hour's notice; but I had nt. my orders. i a "If that be so," says the major, biting his nails hard, "there's no help for it?a day .i,| sooner or later can't make much difference. er# But what shall I say to her!" (This was to himself.) "Look you, sir, it must be | ,ut done to morrow morning. Mrs. Craven j or wishes it so, and she's mistress here." t|, "It's no use, sir," I said; "1 can't do im ; possibilities" a| "Go down stairs," said be, stamping his j ?s- Rim. "I'm sure, sir, Mr. Pawler when becomes J Hi Will?" . a "I think I asked you to go down stairs?" | nl he said in his polite way, which someway j ,ly took me very much aback. Well, sir, 1 left him there, and we short ' r " ly alter went up stairs to put things in or- i der there. Tluuo whs a sort of large ante- ' room out-side, where the late Welbore Cra- i , ? veil, Esquire, was lying?all over black i,^, oak, and as daik a room as over I sat in. kVe I: was full of queer cupboards, and cranies, ne and pigeon boles, stuck up and down and ' everywhere. I never saw such a built thing I n,| ?never. I settled myself there at once, ! rtS and sent the others down to the kitchen to j ft cheer tiieir spirits. When I had drawn a _a chair to (lie tire, ami stirred up the coals j lCe with my fool, I can nssure you I felt more | ,aA comfortable. I felt more comfortable when i I there were some "things" brought in and (Ut *et on the table. I sal that way for some IHt hours, until it got quite dark outside?it ' a IT)'ght be then about six o'clock. 1 was thinking over what kind of a man the late j lt)i Welbore Craven, Esquire, was, when the i flfwtr U'UX nuonnrl un.l I lio mui.ir r* nv n in with a haughty-looking lady ou bin arm, )Uj all in black. "I have been consulting with Mis. Cra- I in ven," lie said, "about this matter, and wo . 1 are both agreed lLal the fuueial must go . on to monovv." "Sir," I answered, "I can say no more 4>j than what I have said already. 1 showed you to-day that it was utterly impossible." en ! "Mr. Songster," said the lady, with a soft, v | gentle voice?how she picked up my name, , ! I can't say?"Mr. Songster, since you see i I we are &o much interested in this matter, 1 am sure you will make every exertion for 1 us. Do try, and we shall be so grateful to ' ,n* you." ge "What can 1 do?" 1 said, at my wits' . ' end from their persecution. "I am nothin- I isl dering the business; but, as I toid the ma- J ,e8 jor, there is nothing ready." "Never mind that, Mr. Songster," say* , she; "you will contrive some plan. I)o e> please, and we shall uever forget it to you." j ue 1 saw she was trying to come round me? ny pale lady with soft voice?so I said bluff,h ly? ny "It's no use talking: you can't make a vu silk purse out of a sow's eat: it never was, ! and it never will be done. Take my adiiy vice, and wait, and do it decently, and don't an shame the family before the neighbors." ke I heard the major whispering to her that ' there was sense in what I said, and that re they had better wait; but she turned round n(j on him with such a wicked look?ah! The je late Welbore Craven, E-quire, must have j(l had a weary life of ii with tier! "Will you let yourself be put off with *1.:- 2* II-.*.*- * UTI I . 1 ' |eg | iiiia xeuuw * pwr excuse** ** nai is no air ne ! Make him speak.

"Madam, so long as I do my duty by ( it- my principal, I shall take no heed of bad j words from any lady breathing. He lias >H. bis instructions from another, as I have mine from him; that other being joung Mr. Craven, who has every right to speak here, ftK and to direct here." |v I had kept this shot for the last, in case I* I should be driven to the w.?.!!.

I saw him last night | . e mvself " CM J jr I Ho was trying to keep up Mrs. Craven, I who was quite scared and wandering, i "Let us go?let us go," she said. "I 1 1t knew it would he this way. I knew it er would. It is at hand?jivst at hand ? 1 ,1 knew it." nl The major looked quite mystified: indeed, ,0. all along I saw he could not make out what she would ho at. However, they went out ( |.e without saying a word more; and I wan ' ill Vl*ry glad to he left in peace. Ht i Well, sir, after that I went about a little |(j | ?looking at everything, just to strelcii my ry ' linilm?always, however, having an eve ! :,j| | to iho late W elU>re Craven. Esquire, pur,w suant to orders. I thought it best to look ; 1(| to litis myself?especially when I w?w they rv were so determined?and I did not know what might come nert; so, ahout eight n o'clock, I made all snng for t!io night? j pulling in a hig chair before the fire, ami i 1 snugging invself down comfoitably. 1 remember sitting that way some two 'w hours or so, and I amused mvself making ^ out the life of the lato Welbore Craven, n ' Esquire, io the coals. I found bis face there ' i ! -J A-'J ?? quiet, gentle face, no doubt?with h high forehead and a mild eye. Bless you, 1 knew bow that face looked at prowt! Mrs. We!bore, as well as if I had lived an age in the house. I'll swear he was proud of her, and loved her niny-l>e to the day of his death. It's a queer thing, that making out faces in the Hie! 1 found myself thirsty by this lime, and began to think very hard how I should get at some diiuk, if it was only plain water. M v friend the butler waa asleep in bed, and had most likely put his port to bed, too. I bail no chance in that quarter, and was giving myself up for night to the torments of a dry throat, when 1 suddenly thought of the traps and pigeon liolos round the ' room. I was soon on a chair, rummaging right and left; and I think you never came across such queer little places in your life. Such little hall doors, and doors inside them again, and drawers and catches, you never saw. Such a sight of bottles, too, inside; but none of the sort I wanted. There wore plenty of long-neckcd Frenchmen?champagne and the like-?all empty, though. 1 Thero weto bottles of olive oil, and fish sauce, and medicine; but if I was in the j Sandy Desert, I could not bring myself to moisten my clay with olive or fish sauce. J So I rummaged oti, just lor the curiosi.y of j the thing. I was dragging a long time at what look j ed like a prew-door, more out of olvstinacy I than anything else, when the bottom came out in my band, und,slrango enough, a lit- { tie pigeon-hole opened a mile away over iny head?just near llio ceiling. Here was a start! 1 set chairs upon each other, ntid climbed up. I found no end of little dtaxv- [ era all round?in rows, just like a medicine- j chest. In some llieie were locks of hair lied with gold thread, and letleis done up | with blue ribbons?love scribbles, y?>n may . may be sure; but in the last ono of all, just at the bottom, I came upon a pretty-sized , fiat bottle, with a long glass stopper. When you are alone that way, with nothing to do, you get a great wish to know the ins and outs of everything. I brought down the ll ?t bottle to llio light, ami found it was all over gilding, and very handsomely cut?meant, I suppose, for those perfumed waters ladies like. I've a fancy myself for these scented things; so I got the slop per out, and began smelling it. But of all the queer scents in the world, you never I met one like that. I declare it turned me j sick all of a moment. Well, sir, I sat down < again before the lire, and began to snecu I late, as iny way i?, upon the perfume bottle, i just, as I said, foi something t<? do. It's not cordial, nor strong water*. Suppose it he physic) There can he no liann in trying, I thought, and tai l just one drop on 1 my tongue. It didn't ta*te had at first, only sourish; bill, after a minute or so. it gave me a sort of shooting feel in the h .ek of the neck, ami down along the back bone, i illst ht?* llio ulinirinir ..f iw.ltl.w It u-.mt ' j * ?7 ' *w away in h few minute*; but, while it lasted, it was the strangest feeling I ever felt! "You're not wholesome," I said, as I laid down the gilt bottlo?"not wholesome at all." It was an odd thing, you'll admit. And why was it hid away among the love letters! Just then, I thought of the pigeon hole, which it would not do to leave open. 1: would look as if I had been spying about. So 1 got upon the chairs again, to shut it. ; But it wouldn't shut, sir, not a bit of it. Tinfact was, the little door bad gone clean back into the wall, out of hand altogetliei; and if I had tried for a mouth I couldn't liavo gut at it. When I saw that, I crone down again, ami went over to my chair. 1 knew, in the confusion, it would not he no- , liced?at least, not until I was out of the i house. So 1 turned round to tho tire, ami felt very much inclined for a doze?for, y u see, we had come all the night before without sleeping, and I was very tired. 1 was going oft" lightly, when I heard the dooi open behind me, and I saw Mrs. Craven coming in with a lamp in her hand. I never got such a start. She looked so like , a ghost, with her long while arms,and Iter | pale faco. and her litre hair all down on her back. She reminded me of one of those stage women that come on in the play, stepping oit their toe*, and going to murder their own father or husband. "I want to speak to you," says she in a husky kind of voice. "You said to-day vnu 9nw Mr. Craven. Tell mo about that. What did ho say! Is lie coming here? Speak?be quick." "Yes. madam." I said. "I saw Mr. Craven ii? town, ami lie said licit lie would lie here j lo morrow night." She twisted up hor white fingers together Ht this. I heard her speaking to herself: "I knew it. 1 knew it. They would de*troy ine if they* could! Look heie," she said, still clutching Iter long delicate fin gers, "it nitM he done before he comes. L>?? aid me in this; you oulv can save me." 'Save you!" I said. What did she mean! I don't know what it was, hut I declare to von, sir, it all llashed upon me at once. 1 saw the whole thing in a minute, and all her odd ways since I enteied tho house came to look quite natural?quite natural. I felt ft kind of rage against her lising in mo, and, bv way of defying her, I jusi turned round and looked up at (lie open pigeon-hole. Iler black eyes followed mino like a tl ish of lightning. "Ah!" she cried with a dreadful scream, "You have been spying on nie! You shall sillier for it. nut you are nil in a leaguo to destroy me. Give ma that back, 1 say ! Give it up!?give i( up!" "Give up what?" I said. "Tho bottle you have stolen! Give it me quick! A vile plot to crush a poor woman. Give it up, or 1 will kill you!" She made a rush at me. hut 1 stepper! quickly round behind the table. "Ila, ha," said I, "that won't do; it's all safe here," touching my coal-pocket. "Givo it ine!?give it me!" she kept shrieking over ami oier again; and then she toie her hair, and beat on the table with her unfortunate finger*, as if she would break it through. I suppose she stayed there near nn hour, raging round tho room, and going over the same thing, "Give it mo!" At last she went away. I never passed such a time as that, he foro or since. I never shall forget what I went through with that terrible woman. All that niglit she was coming in and out, hogging and imploring of me to save her. She camo hack ? well, I suppose twenty times. Once she went down on her knees to me. and I wa? very near giving way to I her, for she was a fine creature, and it went aga'nst me to see her on the ground ihcie breaking Iter heart. Another time she brought in a l>ox of her diamonds, ami wanted to force them into my hand*; but 1 always thought of tho late Wilbore Craven, | Fsquire, lying in tha next room, and that helped me to withstand all her tears an< her diamonds and her gold?for shebrough that cut, loo, in pleuty. besides, I had i sort of pride in not letting myself be go over by that wicked woman. Well, sir, the daylight Logan to broal at last, ai.d then she went away tor good laging and cursing as it seemed to me. knew she would not come back again be cause of the light and the servants begin ning to be atxtul. So 1 gathered inysel up in the chair?being pieiced tliroiigl with the cold?and stayed that way til morning. When it was broad day, 1 found inysel with the cold n>hes lioforo me, and fel very wretched and uncomfortable; f<>r yoi see this was the second night I had goii without sleep. .Ins? as 1 was thinking c going down to get something to warm in up, the major came in, as white as a sheel with two red spots under his eyes, am stooping more than ever. I knew what h came for; bill 1 was not going to ho g> over by him. lie tried to reason with m as lie called it?his white gentlemanlik hands shaking and trembling all the tim< lie said it was a d.eadful thing to biin, shame into an ancient family like this. I had given him a g-eat shock, ho said, an had come upon him like a thundcrbol and I must say. sir, I have always though the poor gentleman had nothing to do wit the business. 1 really pitied him bavin to do with that woman. Hut I told liii plainly that when Mr. Craven arrived h should hear everything; hut, until he ennu 1 could and should do nothing. So h went awav as he came. Ten minutes after I heard a sound c w heels on the gravel; and, running over t the window, saw n chaise all coveted wit dust coming hard up the avenue. I su? pected who was inside, and ran down t the door to meet them. Young Mr. Cri veil jumped out fiist, then came l'awlei and after him a utiiel looking geiillctna in black. "Mrs. Craven here?" says the young mat going past me. "W e're hero sooner than you though Songster," says I'avvlor, nodding to me. W e all went up stairs together, and th I Ionian ill hiat'k fvvlui was n l.oiulo doCloi) went with Mr. Craven straight I the loom of the lato Welboro Craven, K-< They said lie was a great professor froi the hospitals, and could find out how peopl cauio by their deaths. So 1 knew we what lliey were about in that room, staid outside, having no fancy for sue things, and looked out of the window a the tine pitk and the great limes. Hie? me. sir, if 1 didn't see a figure in blac stealing along behind the trees! 1 kne her at the tiist look, nnd I turned routi to call for some one; but I thought th poor wretch would have troubles enoug of her own without mv bringing more o her. So I looked out of the window t sc? what she would do next. When sh got to the top of the hill, beyond the liinc I saw her stop ami wait a little; prescntl a man came out cautiously and joined lie then they both disappeared behind the tree About an hour after, tlioy came out < the room?Mr Craven very wild and c\> ted, and the others talking with him an trying to keep him quiet.
