THE LONGEST NIGHT IN A LIFE
A Lady's Adventure.
BY CHARLES DICKENS.

1t was one of those old fashioned En-
glish winters in the days of the Georges.
when the snow lay on the ground for
weeks, when railways were unknown,
and the electric telegraph had mol. been
dreamed of save by the speculative
Countess of London. The mails had
been irregular for month past, and the
letter-bags which did reach the post-of-
flee had been brought thither with diff
Guilty. The newspapers were devoid Of
all foreign intelligence, the metropolis
knew nothing Of the doings of the prov
iness, and the provinces know little more
Of the affairs of the metropolis; but the
columns Of both were crowded with acci-
dents from the inclemency Of the wealth
er, with heart-rending accounts Of star
walton and destitution, with wonderful
escapes Of adventurous travellers, and of
still more adventurous mail coachmen
and guards. Business was almost at
standstill, or was only carried on by fits
and starts; families were made uneasy
by the frequent long silence of absent
members and the poor were suffering
great misery from cold and famine.
The south road had been blocked up
for nearly month, when partial thaw
almost caused public rejoicing. Coach
es began to rnn, letters to be dispatched
and delivered, and weather bound tray-
elers to have some hope Of reaching
their destination.
Among the first ladies who undertook
the journey from The west Of Scotland
to London at this time, was n certain
Miss Stirling, who had, for weeks past,
desired 10 reach the metropolis. Her
! friends assured her that il was fool

who had been twice--uHy three lines
showed up on their way TO town; bat
their advice and warnings we're Of no
avail Miss Strings business was ur-
gent, II concerned others more than her
sell, and she was not one to be deferred
by personal discomfort or by physical
difficulties from doing what she thought
was right

FEMALE BEAUTY IN OLD ENGLAND

II is generally allowed that there is
more Of what is called chiscled beau
