There the tough clay haa marred the lily-white sand, ana a bounteous spring haa blessed the union. There flourish noble oaks, broad-leaved chestnuts, aspiring elms in rich luxuriance of leaf; and emerald pastures are set . amongst their shades, and rich corniklds ' and smiling hop-gardens cheater the sides of the gently swelling slopes. -Loiter with me on the pleasant field-path winding in and out among the meadows and cornfields; 'look back on the red-roofed town crowded br a massive arothie tower the even ing chimes are tinkling in the still air with a soring lingering cadence, sug gesting I know . not what subtle pathos of long-forgotten dys and own with us that borad England can show few fairer nooks than fair Throgmorton town. . i My atety hasn't much to do with Throgmorton ; but there it was I first knew Chubb Jackson. .He wasn't unlike a chub either as a boy wide motted,with little teeth set far back in nls Beaay ana-tmtues 90 urewa that you sokbt take them for scales. He was aschool-fellow of mine at the Manor house achooU., Old Hookey (not thirty then), our head-master, had taken him in as incorrigible, at a double fee, to try and make, some thing of him.' Possibly the attempt might have been worth the money; but at any rate, it didn't succeed. Passed through the regulation mill, Chubb came out more ink and tear stained, more sulky and more lazy, than ever, r Dragged through the J&teid, he tumbled over "Anna vi- rumque canor snovea into loga rithms, he couldn't even go through the mulUpOtcatien-table- His life was a continual round of expiation : of impositions Which he never got through, of unlearnt tasks which no mortal power could, force, him to learn ; only the holidays freed him from the ever accumulating load of punishment - And yet I think he enjoyed liinv I HP.ir. I faner.as he sat br the open window looking over the rambling old-fashioned garden to the pleasant apple and cherry orchards beyond, his eyes and mind far away from the wretched old. lexicon and classics under bis nose, that the bees as they hummed, and the birds as they twit tered, and all the hushed sounds of country life, said a say for him which they uttered not for us, as we swiped, and bowled, and fielded, and kept wicket in the cricket-field orer be yond the Oast House. . a , 1 1 - I was tne oniy cnum ne uau , per haps a corresponding vendor idleness made ns sympathize ; . at all event we were great inenaa ; ana wnen mi aunt, Miss, or as she was railed by courtesy Mrs. Chubb he was an orphan, poor fellow, and under the care of a maiden aunt when she came to take him home for the mid- gammer holidays, fihe had a inting for me for her- nephew's sake, and wanted me to come and see them at relham-crescent Hastings. - But I Beyer went; and I saw no more of Chubb Jackson ror 1 aont Know how many years. I was serving out my articles with Bump and Podgers of Lincoln's Inn, living in lodgings in Stanhope street, llampstead road, when coming from Charing Cross one evening by a yel low bus, I recognized next to me. e the knife-board, tne image 01 wuuh Jackson.

Letitia Cuttshon was therc onavist protracted visit, having no ap- narcnt commencement i or- cutting, w. which was always to end at iiaiim time or other, but never diu. Tlie second time I went to see them Mrs. Chubb told me, as a great secret that she hoped Letitia and Chubb would eome together. . Letitia was the orphaned daughter of the dearest friend she evef had she gave a little sigh as she Bald it, which made me think nerhaDs there was some wo- mnn'a romance hidden below her T.iM front and it was tlie dearest wish of her heart that the two should be married; but she wanted Chubb to make something of himself first Ha wan now apprenticed to a wood and he really seemed to have found his particular hole; for lie had a wonderfully neat and care ful hand, and had considerable talent for design. He worked a good deal at home in a little atelier on tlie sec ond floor ; and you would hear ltim; as he chipped away, humming some times, and sometimes carolling, wncn you came to the hall door in quiet Albany 6treet. Tsookinsr nnon Letitia as already engaged, I had no intention of tailing in love with her; but I couldn't .help becoming very fond of her, meeting her ns I did constantly in intimate so ciety, for she was st good and lova ble. Chubb was mucn axiacueu w her. I fancied ; but I don't know whether he was quite tmch a good boy as his aunt imagined, and I used U . a a j a to doubt sometimes wneiner 11c was miitn anrh a frood bov as his aun. imagined, ana i usca to aouoi swine- : . . - , ... times whether the ctreer open 10 him pleased him altogether. T. 1 II . a 1 1 1.., rllllttf wing nca ewviio , unpretentious folk, wc would some times go to the pit of the rrinccss's. Mrs. Chubb would pilot her nephew through, and I would have to take care of Lctty In the crowd, and some time, under pressure of circum stances, would find my arm around her waist, or take her plump hand in mine. Delicious pleasures! forbid den, but how sweet! It happened, however, that some literary friend of Chubb offered him a box for a particular night at the Olympic ; and it was then and there determined that we would all go, n.nl.h vii in mine to mv office at half past G, and aunt Chulib and Leti tia were to call for ns there. I had had a very busy day at Lin coln.s Iun, and I had not noticed the flight of time, when I heard a cab stop outside; it was 7 o'clock. I was vexed with Chubb that he hadn't kept hit appointment: for I had relied upon Ida coming in time for me to dress before the ladies arrived. Now I had to ran out in my office coat, and ask Mrs. Chubb to wait till I could struggle into my evening suit - "Don't be moire than; ten, minutes, Edward," she said, 4,r we shall hare to pay extra for "Raiting.- Chubb must follow us, the-Qrless boy." There was nothings rtrkable in Is not keeping his atyomtmcnt ; I dont think he.shad ' eves' kept one in his life.' I contented myself, with leaving a message with Mrs. Tom kins, the housekeeper, that he was to dress as quickly aspossible, and fol low us. I charged her specially to have a jug of hat water ready on the hob, that he mightn't have any excuse for sitting down In his shirt sleeves and smoking a pipe, which he would be only too glad to do on the sligheet hitch in his preparations. , I remember the entertainment at the Olympic welL It was the last time I ever saw E act The . shadow of death was upon the poor fellow then, but he fired up onee or -twice with something of his old spirit It-was a grotesque drama they play ed, but it saddened me, too; there was something weird and ghostly alxwltlMfiatu - . Act succeeded act, but still no Chubb Jackson. : Ever and again I turaad, my head, thinking 1 heard him enter the box. My uneasiness setaod my companions also ; they too began to look over their shoulders eacs minute. ' It was a hot midsum mer sJfct, but the theatre felt chilly. Aunt and Letitia drew their shawls round them. I fancied, too, that the audience on the other side began , to notice our box. - All ofasuddenthebox-donr was thrown violently open, hung suspend ed for a moment the inscajst during which a person might pass in ana then closed heavily. I jumped up and ran into the passage. Not a soul was there. Letitia had given a little scream i she looWdeadly; ttafcv and almost fainting. Aunt Chnbh : was perplexed, and distrait: 7 .The play was coming to an end. I took' them out of the theatre and put them into a cab.- It would be a relief .to get back to Albany street and to; find unubb in ms utue snuggery, smoat ingapipe and chipping away at bis: blacks; a relief to give hinx a good scolding for cutting us out so. : - -. But when we got back to Albany street, the house was dark and desolate.- The servants had gone to bed, according to orders. -The 'supper tray was in the dining room, in readi ness for our. refection a few dozen oysters, a brown loaf, a half-cut ham. But there waa no trace of Chubb'a presence, no opened shells, no empty bottle of Cuinnesa. Where could he be? - -- . It was neee8sary that I should go out to look after the missing Chubb. I embraced my mission very reluct antly ; for I was tired and hungry, and thought that Chubb was indulg ing in some freak. His aunt would not hear of the possibility of such a thing: her boy had nerer been out so late as , this without her knowlege, and she felt convinced some evil had come to him. She besought me - to ose not a moment in putting tne police in motion, in advertising, ' in offering a reward of a hundred pounds for any information. "Had he any money with him, aunt?" . - I had sfrown ao intimate with the family that Mrs. Chubb had adopted me as her nephew. dear, yes; and a great ucai. i J aid him his half-year's allowance, fty pounds, this very morning, in Bank of England notes ; and he stuff ed them into his breast coat-pocket in his careless way, and I "Hare you got the numbers t Hi yea. I put them down ; they're in my desk. See here." nothing, but tbe number, no dwtinguishing . letters! Dear me, aunt, how unbusiness like you are." -H). is It necessary, reward I l didVt know." "Thk list will do well enough for stoonina? the notes : but if they were lost you'd never get anything out of the bank for tnem. iut now tne point la to find Chubb. Good-bye, aunt : lU send the young chap home to you fst enough, never rear. "nease uoa. l trust you wm. Lettr was in the hall as I went out She eame to me pale and trembling. 0 Edward, do you think there is anything wrong with Chubb ?" . KNo, nothing wrong, I trust, Let tv.

We sha'n't go to bed till you come back. Good-bye, Edward. It was a hot duU, sodden night ; t night ou which one felt the oppres sive weight of undefinablc wretched ncss. As I made my way to the cab stand, 1 felt that l was upon a boot less errand. Chubb hadn't been at Lincoln's Inn : the housekeeper, who I roused ont of her first sleep, was sure of that I must go on to Enfield street, to the shop of the emiuent wood engravers where Chubb was cm Mmiaaa nw loccpn a w inside was singing -uara nines comes again no more." "Chubb Jackson here ?" "No, he isn't" " Tis a song, a sigh of the weary bard time' -but if you're a friend of his come in and join us." Again he was- led away by the cho rus, "Around my cabin door catue again uo more." MAY 12,1871. The police sergeant sighed : he'd a soft heart, I fancy, under his blue coat, and few who hare had hard times themselves can hear unmoved the plaintive refrain ---- 1 "Can you give us a few minutes conversation on a matter of impor tance?" "Certainly: only don't interrupt the song. Come in there. "Hard times, hard time, come again no more f now, chorus, all P "We stood there in the hall under the lamp; Mr. White waving his pipe to the time, and the police ser geant joining gruny in tne strain. "Bravo; thank ye, gentlemen. L Now, then, what have you got to Say tome?" -: i told him briefly of Chubb being missing, and asked him what clue he had to give me. "Why, let's sec Chubb went away first thing this morning; he wasn't a quarter of an hour at the shop. He'd been drawing some tin, hadn't he?. He don't often show mush at the shop on such occasions. Where he went to, I don't know. Yes, I do though. . I can tell you where he started from, at least Us went to the Essex street pier; for he was asking Brown if it was open again, as it had been repairing lately, and Brown said it was. But where be went after that, I know no more than the dead. ' Bat, bless you, hell turn up ail right" ; J ' We took our tear sadly; It didn't seem a very hopeful trail. . - "I don't like a track as ends in the river, sir. . You don't often get any further than tnat.-.

We must live in the neighborhood of Regent's-park, because : Chubb thought It was tne neaiiniest pan ui Tendon. The dining-room curtains were to be blue, for that was Chubb's favorite color; the drawing-room was to be upholstered in white and gold, for Chubb had been heard to say that when he had a house of his own that would be his choice. "In other respects, however, it was more satisfactory to stand in Chubb's shoes. Ilfs aunt had announced her intention of making us the same al lowance she had intended for Chubb when he married ; and she told us that having no near relations of her own, 6he proposed to make us and ours her heirs; but, after all. it wasn't pleasant to be1 considered in the light of a proxy or deputy ; and th wav in which those two women set up an idol, an ideal Chubb about as like the real formerly-existing nhnhh as the !utterflv Is to the grub, and expecting everybody to biim in cense before it, was especially aggra vating.

He had fonnd ont at Nw York some rela tions of his own, who, it turned out, were people of influence iu America, some of them being high iu office. His desire being to serve in the war of secession then going on, his friends procured him a commission in ajfighting regiment, and Chubb had seen good service. "Ask any body who knows if there's anything said about tlie Forty-second Penn sylvanians and English Jtickson," said Chubb with a flush of pride in his face. He had written home "sev eral times," he said vaguely, but pos tal communications were irregular, and Chubb wrote such a shocking scrawl, and I Wasnt surprised his letters never came to hand.

As a mere matter of history, I will receunt an incident with Which l was connected in London just at the time of thi battle of Gettysburg. OnlSaturdar preceding the Sunday tbe news of the result of that battle was received in London, I had an inter view with Mr. Roebuck, then a mem ber of Parliament nd the leading Menrf the Confederate recognition til the, House ol commons.

About two hours after the steamer waa sighted and the telegram brought the intelligence of the untoward and disastrous event I never afterward saw the person I have alluded to, and the matter remains a mystery how the news obtained circulation in London before the steamer could commnmoata with Questown. Whatever Lord Grauville may think of it, Mr. Roebuck was sanguine in the assurance which he thought he bad from Lord Palmereton. I trive vou the above merely as an item of history. Mr. ltoebuck said yet more to me. He said .Lord Palmer- ston, (Palmerston, as he styled him,) svmoathized wholly with the South, ana but lor oiner restraints wouiu nave already expressed them: and I remem ber he gave me the energetic language of ixml f aimerston as to wiiai uiey would do in the event of our success In Pennsylvania.

We suppose that Professor David Forbes, of England, knows as much about the interior of the earth as any man livm. In a late lecture he in sisted that all the objections brought by geology, mathematics, or astrono my, against the old theory that the earth is a molten mass surrounded by a crust about fifty miles thick, are quite untenable. He would have us believe, while the outer layer of mel ted matter, just below the earth's crust, may be a kind of glassy slag. that, not far below this layer, a sala mander bent on discovery wouia noa the pre molten metals, of which the heaviest gold, platiuum, etc would be at the earth's centre. Very likely Uie mass of the earth is molten Iron ; and this view is quite corroborated by the fact that tlie. broken fragments of some disrupted world, which, in the form of arollte?, are continually falling from the sky, are often metal lic iron. But what a tantalizing thought it is, that just under our feet arc countless tors of the precious metals, only waiting for John Whop per to let us know the route by which he passed through to China.
