early and late, for three long, dreary
weeks. AT last, when I thought I
was known in every street and alley,
and knew every face / met, off by
heart, the hopeful spirit fell away
within me, and I gave up the struggle
in despair.
Very sorrowfulI I was, Tom, walking
along the streets on Christmas eve.
Coming to my hotel just Mt twilight,
I saw the bright glow of o fire shining
cheerily in one of the windows of q
large old-fashioned house quite close
to my habitation.
Trees surrounded this old house,
and gave it an appearance of retire
ment, though the window of which
speak looked out upon the road. I
wonder what it was that impelled me
to cross over and read upon brass
plate by the lamp-light an announce
that this was an establishment for the
education Of 'Jeunes demoiselles?"
L wonder what it was that impelled
ME afterwards to look in at that Win
dow, and see Peg sitting at tho fire
in o cosey little room all alone? She
was staring very thoughtfully Mt the
flames, Us if looking at past Christ
mas ewes between the bars. OF
course Peg was teacher in this
school, and I had walked up and
down before her door every miserable
day for the past three weeks. Of
course I knocked at the door, and
startled her reveries by introducing
myself. Ay, there she was indeed.
my very own little Peg, only paler
and thinner, and sadder and sweeter
looking.
You may imagine the rest, o Tom {!
knowing as you do that little Peg is
Mrs. Humphrey. I did not deserve
it, but I was forgiven.
Giles Humphrey, you know, is dead,
and his wife still contrives to live il
splendor. She shuns us and we shun
her. When, dear Tom, shall we see
yon at Ballyhuckamore again?

silver ware, and such old tricks, which
you folks could buy better than we

You must hunt up the balance of your

lRVING's HUM0RS WITH LITTLE Folks.
MIR. Charles Augustus Davis gives the fol-
lowing anecdotes Of Irving, illustrative of his
humors toward children. The first took place
at Saratoga:
In one OF these rambles recollect his at
tention was arrested by the crying and sob
blng OF poor little barefooted and ragged
boy, wearing an old "cone-shaped" hat that
had lost all its original form. He had Just
been punished by an elder sister, thin, slat-
ternly young vixen who was following him.
Mr.. Irving at once read the whole story,
turned aside from our route, and commenced,
in most friendly tone, with 81 know what is
the matter with my little boy. 1t is enough to
make anybody cry, to wear a hat that falls cv-
er his eyes so that he can't see, and stubbing
his toes. see the cause of all this trouble.3
And with that he took off the old hat and
rolling its fiabby rim inward, replaced it on
the little boys head. "There," said he, "that
is all right now"
Both the children confounded by this event,
stood for time silent, and then moved off
chuckling together at his oddity, while Mr..
| Irving resumed his walk, not less gratified at
his success In turning scene of grief into one
of gladness.
And in this connection viii venture to re-
late another simple incident, showing his in
terest IN children. On his return from Sara
toga, accompanied him portion of his way
homeward. We were seated together, and d.
rectly in front of us sat an anxious mother
with three children-one, an infant in her
arms, and the other two, a boy and a girl OF
some two or three years of age, giving the
mother great trouble, and waking the infant
by striving to Chamber over her to look out of
the window.
Mr.. Irving at once interposed, and lifting
each alternately over to his lap, and looking
at his watch, said: "Now three minutes for
each to look out of my Window" and began
lifting them over and replacing them, each in
turn, accordingly, till they were tired of it
though much gratiied.

zen. Grants Indian Aid in the South.
The recent order of Gen. Grant. in relation
10 dlsioyai newspapers at the South. as well as
certain other acts Of his which are well known
at Washington, are considered as evidence
that the Lieut.. General does not trust 90 inn
plicitly the protestations of loyalty which
come up from the reconstructed States as does
his Commander-in-Chief. In proof of this
the correspondent of the Worcester Spy quotes
the assertions of his most trusted aid, the In
dian, Col. Eli Parker. The correspondent
says:
This officer has just returned from length
ened tour of Inspection, undertaken to ascer-
tain what further reduction of the arr,y could
be safely made. He, wearing his uniform, was
struck by the redundant professions of ioyal
submission which everywhere greeted him.
These We're so frequent as at last to excite his
suspicious. He clothed himself in citizens
garb, and thereafter passed as member OF
the Chocktaw nation, well known to the
South as rich, well educated, and intensely
pro-slavery tribe OF the southwest. This dis
guise unloosed the latch strings to their secret
thoughts, and thereafter he heard not one 10y
al word except when in the pursuance of his
duty, he was with opr own officers. The most
malignant disloyalty; the most yindictiye ha-
tired; the fiercest, though suppressed determi-
nation to bide their time, yet wreak revenge,
was everywhere made visible to the man whose
color and stated relation made them confident
