MIS- Ell L A n z o u s..
A TALE OF REAL LIFE.
BY MISS SEDGwICK.

IL am going round to Broad street TO IN
uuire of Ross, the glover, about little Lucy
Wendall."
'ILucy Wendall! Who is she!''
ssShe is pretty little Dutch girl, who
lived opposite 10 me in that bit OF little
dwelling, that looks like a crack or seam
between the two houses on each side of it.
She lived there with her grand parents,
natives of this city, and once proprietors
of many lot within it, but they had been
out-bargained and out-witted till they were
reduced to this little tenement some twen-
Nv feet by fifteen. Their only surviving
descerdant was my little friend Lucy a
nrettv, fair-skinned, fair-haired, blue eyed
girl, of most modest, quiet, engaging de-
meanor. For many months after we
moved TO State street, | knew nothing of
the family; but from such observations as
the eve could take, neatness was the rul-
ing passion of the household. The only
servant Minerva (the goddess of wisdom
should have known better) used to scrub
the house weekly from garret to cellar;
their only carpet was shook every Satur-
day; the steps were secured daily, and
never in my life saw the old woman with
out dusting- cloth in her hand. Such a
war of extermination dio she carry on a
gainst intruding particles, that my friend
E. used to say, it must be hard to think of
turning TO dust
"Lucy had no visitors, no companion;
and of the only indulgence of the old peo-
pie, which was sitting in the stoop, every
pleasant afternoon, according to the an
cient Dutch custom, she never partook. -
She never went out, excepting on Sunday
TO church, and then she reminded me OF
one of those bright, pretty flowers, that
hang on the cragged, bare stems of the
cactus. / pitied her; her spring of life
seemed passing away so drearily. My
pity was misapplied; and felt it to be so
when looked into her serene sweet coun-
tenance, and saw there the impress OF that
happiness which certainly flows from du-
ties religiously performed. 1t is a great
matter, Grace, to have your desire bound
ed within your station; to be satisfied with
the quiet, unnoticed performance of the
duties Providence has allotted to Won. and
not to waste your efforts or strength in
seeking to do good, or TO obtain pleasure
beyond your sphere. This is true wis
dom; and this was Lucy Wendall's. Al
last there came to this obscure family
what comes to all, death and its changes.
The old man and his wife died within a

A Bet fairly Won.

1t was some years prior to the Revolu-
ton, when the good old laws for hanging
people for numbelless crimes (for which a
short imprisonment answers now-a-days)
were in full vogue, that small party
were gathered one bright moon light night
in an eating cellar, IN the city of = ew
York, around an old table, from which
the steam rose to The ceiling as it left the
surface of a large soup dish IN the centre
The party appeared in merry humor.
and as three noted haracters,had. that day
swung from the scaffold, the topic o. con-
versation naturally turned upon the exc
cution.
"Old Jake died game at all events -
said one Of the men.
'sI'm afraid that's morn you'll do," re-
torted another.
81 don't fear death in any shape" re-
piled the first speaker.
"You don't hey?" suddenly chimed in
third person.
s.No, don't, nor 1 can't be scared, eth
er,' was the Dragging answer.
"You can't humph! allow me to doubt
that, will your" sneered his opponent.
s.If YOU don't believe it, you are freely
privileged to test me, but mind you, the
consequences be on your head, not
mlne."
"Well, we'll see. You don't fear dead
people, do you?'
..No so much as living ones"
"Very well. Now, then. III bet you
twenty dollars that you darn't 60 down to
the scaffold and feed one of the men hung
to-day. with some hot soup
"Are you in earnest?"
.Never more so in my life; there's the
money-let's see you cover IT,"
The boaster put his hand in his pocket,
drew forth a well filled wallet, and placed
twenty more dollars upon the table.

hausted ranks-rallying again and again
the wasted columns to the charge, and
holding them by his personal daring and
reckless exposure of his life, hour after
hour TO the murderous fire. General
Rivaud, battling for the heights, and the
brave Watrin, charging like fire on the
centre-cheered at every repulse by the
calm stern voice of Lannes-fought as
Frenchmen had not fought before during
the war. The moral power which one
man NAV WELD, was never more visible
than on this occasion. Lannes stood the
rock of that battle field, around which his
men clung with tenacIty that nothing
could shake. Had he fallen, in five min
utes that battle would have been rout.
On his life hung the victory, and yet it
seemed not worth hope. in the steady
fire through which he constantly galloPed.
From eleven In the morning till eight al
night, for nine long hours did he press
with all army, first of six, then of twelve
thousand, on one of eighteen thousand
without intermission or relief. 1t was one
succession of onsets and repulses, till
darkness began TO gather over the scene.
One fourth of his army had sunk on the
field where they fought. At length Rivaud
having carried the heights, came down
like an avalanche on the centre, while
Watrin led his intrepid column for the last
| time on the artillery. Both were carried
and the Austrlans were compelled to re-
treat. Bonaparte arrived just III time to
see the battle won. He rode up to Lannes,
surrounded by the remnants of his guard
and found him drenched with blood-his
sword dripping in his exhausted hand
his face blackened with powder and smoke
and his uniform looking more as if Il
had been dragged under the wheels of ar
tillery during the day, than worn by {
living man. But smile of eXhuliatlon
passed over his features, as he saw his
commander gazing with pride and affec
| ton upon him; while the soldiers, weary
and exhausted as they were, could no
restrain their JOY at the victory they hat
|
Such was the terrible battle of Monte
bello, and Lannes, in speaking of ii after
wards, said in referring to the deadly fire
of the artillery, before which he held his
men with such unfiinching firfnness, 81
could hear the bones IA my diUision, like
hail stones against the scindoUs." A
more terrific description of the effect oi
cannon shot on close column of men,
could not be given. have heard of single
handed sea fights of frigates, where firing
was so close and hot that the combattants
could hear the splitting of the timbers II
the enemy's ship at every broadside, but
never before heard of battle where the
bones could be heard breaking in the hu-
man body, as cannon balls smote through
them. Yet no one would ever have tho't
of that expression, had il not been sugges.
ted to him by what he actually heard. AT
all events, Lannes never fought more
desperate battle than this, and as evidence
that Napoleon took the same view of it,
he gave him the title of Duke of Monte
bello, which his family bear with just
pride to this day.-Headty.

NEITHER of these great poets has any
| living representative. Shakespeare was
the first man of letters, Pope the second.
and Sir Walter Scott the third, who, in
| Great Britain, ever realized a large for
! tune by literature or IN Christendom, If
we except Voltaire. and two dubious ca
ses in Italy.
Milton was thrice married and left three
daughters, all by his first wife MARY
Powell.) Anne, the eldest, married Il
master builder, and died soon afterwards;
Mary, the second, died in single state;
and Deborah, the youngest, married A bra
ham Clarke, weaver in Spltalhelds, by
whom she had seven sons and three
daughters. The distress into which she
fell in consequence of this imprudent mar
riage, experienced some late and partial
relief from the liberality of Addison, and
the less splendid munificence of Queen
Caroline. OF her ten children two only
left offspring; Caleb, who. marrying IL
the East Indies, had two sons, whose his
tory cannot now be traced; and Eliza
beth, who married Thomas Foster,
weaver, by whom she had three sons and
four daughters, who all died young and
without issue. In old age and in pen
ury, Mrs. Foster was discovered in a
small chandler's shop, and brought into
public notice by DIR. Birch and DR.. New
ton. Attention being thus awakened TO
the grand-da lighter of Milton, COnlUS was
performed for her benefit in 1850; and
Johnson. associated as be then was in the
Iabors of the Infamous Lauder, did not
hesitate tosupply the occasional prologue.
The profits of the night were only 913O
sterling; yet this was the greatest benefac-
ton that the Paradise Lost ever procured
the authors descendants. Mrs. Foster
died on the 9Th Of May. 1854, and with
her expired the last descendant Of The i'm
mortal poet. Milton realized fifteen
pounds only for the copyright and extra
sale Of Paradise Lost.
Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway In
1882, in his nineteenth year. He had
two daughters. Susanna married, on the
5th June, 1907, DR.. Hall, a physician in
Stratfor2. The doctor died in Novem-
Der, 1886, aged 60-his wife died at the
age Of sixty-sx, on July llth, I640. They
had one child, daughter named Eliza-
beth, born in 1908, married April %,
1926. to Thomas Nashe, Esq; left wild
ow in 1917, and subsequently REMARKED
to Sir John Barnard, the sole and-daugh-
ter of the poet, had no children by either
marriage. The second daughter, Judith,
in February, 1916 (about ten weeks be-
fore her fathers death.) married Thomas
Quincy, of Stratford, by whom she had
three sons, Shakespeare, Richard and
Thomas Judith was about thlrty-one
wears old at the time of her marriage; and
living just forty-sIx years afterwards, she
died in February, 1862, at the age of sew
enty-seven. Her three sons died with
out issue; and thus, in the direct lineal
descent, it is certain that no representatiye g
has survived OF this transcendant poet,
the most august amongst created intel
lects.

Don't you remember, Lily, dear,
The mill by the old hill side,
Where we used TO go in the summer time
And watch the foamy tide;
And toss the leaves of the fragrant beech,
On its breast SO smooth and bright,
Where they ffoated away like emeralds,
In food Of golden light?
Lily, dear.
And the miller, love, with his slouchy cap,
And eyes of mildest grey,
Flooding about his dusty work,
Singing the live-long day?
And the coat that hung on the rusty nail,
With many u motley patch,
And the rude old door, with its broken sill,
And the string, and the wooden latch?
Lily, dear.
And the water wheel, with its giant arms,
Dashing by the beaded spray,
And the weeds it pulled from the sand below,
And tossed in scorn away;
And the sleepers. Lilly, with moss o'ergrown ,
Like sentinels. stood in pride,
Breasting the waves, where the chinks of time
Were made in the old mills side
Lily, dear
Lily, the mill is torn away,
And n factory, dark and high,
Looms like tower, and puffs its smoke
Over the clear blue sky;
And the stream is turned away above,
And the bed of the river bare,
And the beech is withered, bough aud trunk {,
And stands like spectre there
Lilly, dear!
And the miller, Lilly, is dead and gone
He sleeps in the ale below:
/ saw his stone in winter !ime'
Under a drift of snow:
But now the willow is green again,
And the wind is soft and still:
send you sprig to remind you, love,
OF him and the dear old mill,
