4 NIGHT WITH THE DEAD.

One day, during the wiuterOf ieG-.
had occasion to travel fiom B, in
Derbyshirc, England to the small mar
kel town Of y, situated at distance
Of some tifteen lies, As had missed
the nooa train and vas desirops ofreach
ing z that night, determined on
performing the journey on foot, being
strengthened IN that resolution by the
fact of its being clear, frosty weather
and the two towns being connected by
one Of those magnificent high roads for
which England is famous.
Starring of, therefore at about two
O'Clock in the. aflsrnoou, l soon LEFT
B. far behind, and found myself
iu the midst Of the beautiful scenery of
the Peak, Tho Eolish Alps. The road,
which describes a somewhat circuitons
course, was delightfully."- situated half
way up mountain, thus affordihg q
commanding view of the picturesque
valley which stretched away below.
Here winter and summer seemed sim
ultaue ously to display their powers; for
while the tops Of the hills were covered
with snow, the valley WAS clothed with
rich verdurc, afording pasturage Of nu'
merous aocks of sheep, Occasionally
l would pass by one of those solemn,
stately parks with which the English ar
iotocracy delight to surround their earth
ly tabernseles, and where the almost
oppressive silence is uubroken, save by
the continual cav cav of that very con.
seryative bird, the rock; or, from time
to time by the quick report of a fowling,
piece, which tells that my Lord Tom
noddy is busy 10 his preserves; or, it
may he, that some audacious poScher,
in defiance alike Of the game laws and
Of my Lord Tomnoddy, is making free
with the latter's patidges.
Decidedly the sons of privilege in
England come into goodly inheritonces;
but if asked what is done 10 deserve
these noble parks and these princely
mansions, l am afraid that, like lcneien.

along with them, and then whose shall
these things be? Ny peasant friends
whom see toiling down there, in The
valley, rejoice! for the time is coming
when the present iniquitous law ofprim'

tstes, falling into pieces. thou shOII
have that portion which nature intended
for thee, and thou and thine alone shall
