at the farmhouse Of John Cooper, West-town
OF hnnaird, where We were Immediately ad-
mtted. Ihe accommodation. we were told, was
poOr-but what an alternative from the storm
beaten wayslde. The servants were not yet IN
bed: and we were permitted short time TO
warm ourselves at the bothv fire. During this
interval the infant seemed to revive; it fastened
heartily to the breast, and soon fell asleep. We
were next led to an clubhouse. 4 man stood
by with lantern, while with straw and blankets
we made pretty fair bed. In less than half an
hour the whole slept swectly in their dark and al
most roohess dormitorv. | think 1t must have
been between three and four O'Clock when Jean
walked me. Oh, that scream y think | Can
hear It now. The other children, startled from
Sleep Joined in frightfu wall over their dead SIS
ter. Our poor Jeanie had, unobserved by US
sunk during the night under the effects OF the
exposure of the preceding evening, following, as
that did, long course OF hardship, too great to
be borne by Young frame. Such visitation
could only be well borne by one hardened to
misery and wearied of existence. sat while
and looked on them: Comfort | had none TO
give-none to take / spake not-what could be
said words OH no. The worst is over when
words can serve US. And yet it is not just when
the wound is given that pain is felt. How comes
it, I wonder that minor evils will affect even to
agony, while paramount sorrow overdoes ltseIi,
and stands in stultfed calmness Strange to
say, on first becoming aware OF the bereavement
of that terrible night, | sat for some minutes
gazing upwards at the fiutterlng and wheeling
movements of party of swallows, our fellow
lodgers, who had been disturbed by our unearthly
outcry After while / proceeded to awaken
the people in the house, who entered at once into
our feelings and did everything which Christian
kindness could dictate as proper to be done on
the melancholy occasion. A numerous and re-
spectacle party of neighbors assembled that day
to assist at the funeral. In an obscure corner OF
kinnaird churchyard lies our favorte little Jeanne.
Early on Monday we wandered onwards
without any settled purpose or end. Nor knew
we where that night our couch mi ght be, or where
tomorrow our grave. 'Tis but fair to say, how
ever, that our children never were Ill OFT during
the daytime. Where our goods were not bought,
we were nevertheless offered { a piece to the
bairnies' One thing which might contribute to
this was, that appearance as yet was resPecta-
Bile, and it seemed as If the people saw IN us
neither the shrewd hawker nor the habltual men,
dicant, so that we were better supplied with food
than had been our lot for many month before.
But oh, the cver-rccurrlng sunset. Then came
the hour Of sad con jecturlng and sorrow1u out
look. To seek lodging at a farm before sunset,
was to ensure refusal. After nightlall, the chill
dren, worn out with the DAYS wandering, turned
fretlul, and slept whenever we sat down. Alter
experience taught us cunning IN this, as IN other
things-the tactics of habitua vagrants beng TO
remain in concealment near farm of good name
until suitable lateness warranted the attack"
From such wandering Thorn is now relieved,
being what is called customary weaver, which
gives him subsistence for himself and family.
We cannot quote largely from his poems, and
owe only The Mitheress BARN. Mr.. Thom's
sympathy with the suffering and lower classes is
no romance, for he has experienced all he de-
scribes.
