IM[ZSC:EIXIIJAM"S' UTILE TEEG?E. llfln.tr?] l>>* JUrs. Lirrlpcr'a Litxlger. l?X CH A KI. K S D I K E N S. [CONTINUED.! As 1 found that the guests ut . Rutland Hall enjoyed a certain t n'odom in their choice of amuse? ments, and ' the disposa, of their time, I speedily availed myself of this privilege. I selected' my <>wn associates, andi entertained my? self as pleased me best. Not find? ing myself always welcomed in the drawing-room, I contrived, by a series of the most dexterous artifices, to gain the free entree of the nursery. In this nursery wore growing up some five or six young? er branches of the Rutland family. After a certain hour in the day done of the elders ever thought of invading its remote precincts. ive o'clock in the evening was the children's tea hour, and the pleasantest,. I thought, in the twenty-four. Nurse was a st iii? 1 woman, who knew how to appre? ciate a little present now and again, and to keep her own counsel on the subject. The children were not pleasant children; they were iinruly, mischievous little wretch? es. They conceived a sort of affection for me, because I some? times brought to the nursery sundry pinchases made during solitary rides; picture-books, toys, dolls, or sweetmeats procured l>y means of Teecie Kay's guinea. ? suggested as much to Teecie one evening as she sat by, watching the distribution, and she nodded her head in sage satisfaction. She thought tba! I economised my substance 1 y well. It covered a great many small extravagances, that guinea did. Whatever might be my position at Rutland Hall, Teecie Kay's was simply intolerable. A spirit less brave must have been cowed and broken by it; a nature less deli? cate must have been blunted and made coarser. The servants open? ly neglected her, the children used her as they pleased; wreaked theil humors on her, sparing neithei blow nor taunt in their passions and demanding from her at al times, whatever service it suitec their capricious fancy to need Nurse, 1 the only one who evei showed a grain of consideratioi for the orphan, would sometime) shield her from their impish at tacks, when she could do so wit! safety to hersel f, but she was no permitted to deal with those dar lings in the only fashion whicl would have been likely to bring them to reason. As for the elden of the house, Teecie Ray's mo nientary presence, or the mere mention of her name, was sufficien to ruffle their peace of m ind. "AVI i a is to be done with that girl?" heard Mrs. Rutland remark ti one of her daughters. "If sin were not lame, one might set he to earn her bread in some way but, as it is----" A shrug o the shoulders, and a certain vine gar-like expression of countenance which this lady knew how to as sume, sufficiently developed th idea thus imperfectly expressed. And how did Teecie Ray mee all this? She did not eomplaii nor rebel, she did not sulk nor frei Under that well-worn black troc of hers she carried a little breast plate of sober, determined endm ance. When sorely tried, thor was never any cowardly submissio: to be seen in her gravi; little fact neither was there ever in her man ner or words either reproach o remonstrance ; she simply endurec Her large, patient eyes and mut< wide mouth seemed to say, "Wha1 ever I suffer, whatever 1 long t dare, gratitude shackles my limb: and seals my lips. I am save from many things; therefore, T ai .:nmb." Thu second time I met my littl benefactress was a day or two aft*: our first interview in the drawing room. I came upon her one aftei noon by chance, limping down hedge lane which lay to the bac of the house, away beyond tl: gardens, and the kitchen garden and the pleasure grounds. Til lane, I found, led to a large mei dow, and beyond the meado there was a wooded hill, and fi down at tito distant side of tl hill there was a river. This wi Teecie Ray's favorite ramble, an lier one ?.venue of escape from tl torments of the nursery. I i rom* diately began pouring forth a I gion of perplexing troubles an difficulties, to all of which she li iened with perfect credulity, e: pressing her sympathy as I wei along by an .pressive nod of tl head or a shrewd, swift, glanc Then she gave me her wise litt counsel when all was told, ar wont lioine, J believe, pondering on my east'. As the days passed, and my re? lations became more und more in? volved in their winter gaieties, I found .myself more and more.! thrown upon my own resources for amusement. Occasionally I was included in an invitation, and accepted it; but in general I pre? ferred indulging my fancy for ?cccping aloof from those who were little charmed with my company. A system of the most unblushing bribery had won for me a warm welcome from the savage tribes in thc: nursery. Many and many an evening found me walking down that hedged lane in the frosty dusk, with Teecie Kay limping by my side, and talking her grave, simple little talk. 1 had always some fresh puzzle to propose to her, and she was always ready to knit her smooth brows over its so lution. Once she stopped short and struck her little crutches on the snow. "You ought to go away from here and work," she cried. "O, if I could!" A certain Sir Harry arrived at Kutlaiid Hall; I will not trouble myself to think of his second name; it is not worth Yemembei* ing. He was a wealthy bachelor of high family, and his movements were watched with interest by thc lady of the house. This Sh* Harn bael a fancy for smoking his cigai in the hedged lane, and on more than one occasion he encountered my little benefactress limping 01 her solitary way, and stared at thc pretty, fresh face un ch : her ole black hat till it blushed'with un comfortable: brilliance. Teeci< chajiged her track like a huntec hare, but Sir Harry scented lie out, and annoyed her with his ful some; compliments. The matte roached Mrs. Rutland's ears, an< she vented her chagrin on the de fenceless little gh'l. I know no what sorry accusations and rc proaches she bestowed upon he during a long private lecture; bu that evening when, at the- children' tea hour, I entered the nurser door with a new bull in my han for Jack, (the youngest and leas objectionable of the band,) I sai I Teecie Hay's face grievously clouc" ed for the first time. It was flusl ed and swollen with passionat crying. I do not intend to comm to paper certain remarks which made HOUO voce on beholding th disfigurement. "Come come, Teecie," I sait while Nurse was busy eiuelling disturbance which had arisen bi cause "Cousin Guy" had n< brought something to every or else as ?veil ?is Jack; "where is ti your philosophy, little mothe You need never preach to me aga: if you set such a bad example." Teecie stud never a word, bi stared on into the fire. Th wound had cut deep. Sir Han and Airs. Rutland, of Rutlai Hall, at that moment I shou have dearly loved to knock yoi two good-for-nothing heads t gether! "Teecie,"' I said, "you have oj friend at any rate, even if he 1 not a very grand one." She gave one of her quaint, e pressive little nods. Translate it meant: "I Understand all thi but I cannot talk just now." E and-by, however, she brighten up, and went to the cable to clai her shareof tea and thick bre and butter, and I began to me: a bow belonging to Tom. Tc was oin- of the leaders of t unruly tribes, a regular sava chieftain. Ere two days more had pass* I felt stongly inclined to exercisi horsewhip on this young gent man's shoulder. - Tom, one fi morning, was seized with an in ish inspiration t phi}r a trick up Teecie. Stealing her cratch he walked about the nurse mimicking her poor little lin and then marching off with thc heedless of her entreaties to ht them restored, carried them triumph out of doors, and smasl them in pieces with a hatcli Teecie sat helpless in the din n riot of that ill-conditioned nur ry. Bright bracing days ca and found her a prisoner, look with longing eyes through window-panes out over the be tiful country lanes. Tom saw ' patience with the most audacii indifference. But why talk ab Tom? T could not help believi nor do I ever intend to help lieving, that older heads tl Tom's plotted the cruel caging that bonnie bird. The bird drooped on its per but who cared? Nurse vowe< was a shame, and showed ni kindness than usual to the ; Boner; but I will not venture to decide how much of this tender? ness was owing to the odd crown pieces which found their way from my hands to hers-all out of the guinea. And there was another friend who sometimes expressed au interest in Teecie Ray's exist? ence This was that Lady Thornton whose bounty had indirectly fur? nished me with pocket-money dur? ing my stay at Rutland Hall. The favor of this old lady I had done my best to win. She was a nice, comfortable old lady, and I liked her. It happened that she called one day during Teecie Ray's im? prisonment, to invite the Rutlands and their visitors, great and small, young and old, to a party to bc given at her house, a few miles dis? tant. I chanced to be alone in thc drawing-room when she arrived, andi seized the opportunity to tell her the story of Teecie's crutches. "A bad boy!" she said. "A bad. malicious boy! She must get new crutches before my party." "Of course she must,"I said very heartily. The old lady threw back I r head, liaising her fat chin in a peculiar sort of way, and looking at me direct through her spectacles. "Indeed!" she said. "Pray, voling man, what particular in? terest do you take in Teecie Ray?" I smiled. "Oh, Teecie and I are excellent friends, I said." "Teecie and you!" she repeated. "Pray, are you aware that Miss Ray is eighteen years of age?" "Is she indeed? I know noth? ing about the ages of little girls." "But Teecie is not a little girl, Mr.-Guy Rutland. Teecie Ray is a woman, I tell you!" Teecie Ray a woman! I could not help laughing. "What, my lit? tle benefactress, my little mother! I am afraid I scandalized Lady Thornton on that occasion by my utter scorn of her proposition. Christina Rutland swept, into thc room at this crisis, and relieved me in my difficulty. But often afterwards during that day, J laughed when I thought of Lad} Thornton's informai ion. Teecie Ray a woman? Preposterous! One morning, when it wanted but a week of the party, a curious event occurred. The heads of thc house met in consultation on th? matter in the library before break? fast. An extraordinary thing hat arrived from London at Rutlanc Hall. The thing was a larg? wooden case, directed to Tootie Ray. On being eagerly opened it was found to contain a pair o crutches. And such a fine pair Light and symmetrical and fan ciful, works of art in their way Tortoise-shell stems, with silve: mountings of exquisite workman ship, capped with dainty littl cushions of embroidered velvet Thunder-stricken were the elder of the house. "Who could hav done this thing?" was on ever lip. Who, indeed? Who outsid of Rutland Hall had ever heard o Teecie Ray? These crutches wer costly affairs. I knew the conclu sion they came to, one and al They pitched on Sis Harry as th culprit. It was a thorn in their sid and I rubbed my hands in glee. Having considered the questio: in their dismay, they decided thn Teecie should be kept in ignoranc of her mysterious present. It wa not fit for her to use; it would fi her mind with absurd ideas. An so, in spite of the arrival of lu beautiful new crutches, poor Teeci still sat helpless in the nurser The wooden case and its conten? were hidden away, and no wor was spoken of their existence. I waited a few days to see if tl elders would not relent, but to n purpose. The bird still pined o its perch. No kindly hand secme likely to open the cage door an let it fly. There sat Teecie, dr after day, in her nursery chai hemming aprons for Nurse, dari ing the children's stockings, loo! lng longingly out of the windon and growing pale for want < fresh air. Still never rebellm never complaining. Meantime 1 ! stir of Christmas preparation w? agitating all the household, ai the children were fiuT of raptu: at the prospect of Lady Thornton Christmas party. There was gre; excitement in the nursery aboi pretty new dressess, wonderf fussing about ribbons, and muslin and fripperies. Teecie alone s silent in her shabby frock. B and-by her hands were full, bowii up sashes, sewing on tuckei stitching rosettes on shoes. S] was a nimble little work-woina and they kept her busy. Seeii how well a lap full of bright ri bons became her, I thought it pity she should not have a g; dress as well as the rest. Nobody said, "Teecie, -what will you wear?" nor even, "Teecie, arr not you invited too?" No ono seemed to expect for a moment that Teecie could wish to be merry with the rest. How could sh?1 go, she who was lame and had no crutches? It happened that I had an errand to the nearest town. It was rather late, when, on my return, I called at the best millinery establishment in the place and asked for a parcel. Yes, the parcel was ready. A large Hat box. "Would the gentle? man like to see tho lady's pretty dress!"' The box was opened,and a cloud of some airy fabric shaken out under my eyes. I cannot, of course, describe it, but it was something white, very pure and transparent, with something else of pink just blushing through it. It was very tasteful, I pronounced, trying to look wise. There was only one fault: "Dill it not seem rather long for a little girl?" I asked, remember? ing the figure it was to adorn, with its short skirt just, coming to the top of the boots, so well worn and mended. "Oh, sir," said the milliner, with dignity, "you said the young lady was eighteen years of age. anti oi course we have given her a flowing skirt!" Tt was late in the evening, when I reached home. Two merry car? riage-fulls were just departing from the door as I drove up. A few minutes afterwards I was ir the nursery, with the milliner's parcel in my hands. There sal dear little Cinderella, resting om flushed cheek on her. hand, am contemplating the litter of scrap! of ribbon, fragments of lace, sois sors, flowers, and reels of cotton which lay scattered around her She had had a toilsome, tiresome day, and now they had got al they wanted of her, and had let" her to her solitude. A flash of pleasure sprang t< her face when she saw me. "Ob I thought you had gone with th rest," she said. "No," said I, "I have not goa yet, but I am going presently, came for you." "For me!" she echoed in dismay 'You know I could not go. Ihav no dress, even if I could walk." "A friend has sent you a dress, I said, "and I will undertake t provide the. crutches. Nurse, wi you please to take this box, an get Miss Teecie ready as quickl as possible. The carriage is wail ing for us at the door." "Teecie flushed very red at firs and I thought she was going t burst out crying, ;uul then sb turned pale, andlooked frightenec Nurse, to whom I had slipped tnuni?eient Christmas box. imrn< diately fell into raptures over tb pre tty dress.* "Come, Teecie," I said ' mal liaste!" And trembling betwoe dread and delight, Teecie suffere herself to be carried oft* to he toilette. By the time I return eil from a exploring expedition, with tl wonderful silver and tortoise-she [.Hitches under my arm, Teec was ready. Teecie was ready. Those thr< simple little words mean so nun that I feel I must stop and try translate them into all ttiey a bound to convey. They do n mean that Teecie, the child wdio [ was wont to call my httle ben f actress, my little mother, had g Dil a nice new frock, and w equipped for a juvenile party li' sther children. But they mei that there, when I came bac stood a beautiful girl by the mm ry fire, in a fair, sweeping, blus colored robe. "When she turn acr head, I saw that the swe face framed in its child-like cur svas the same, but still the c. Teecie Kay was gone and herc: w [peeraci, Lady Thornton!) a love ivoman.
