(Conckukd.)
The days, as we have said, were at their
shortest." Mrs. Hathaway moved slowly,
the afternoon was very dark, and the sha
dows of the stormy evening were thicken
ing, when the father and mother sat down
to their Thanksgiving meal. Mr. Hatha
way's grace was mucn longer than usual,
but there was no allusion to their affliction.
He could not now trust his voice for this,
his body and mind were beginning to feel
the pressure. It was only halt past three!
he wondered it was an dark ! and again and
again he wiped his eyes. He suffered " mo
ther" to cut up for him his favorite bit of
turkey. He took, according to our rural
custom, "a little of all" the various vege
tables and condiments, and though he re
marked, "there was never a tenderer tur- |
iay," there seemed never to have been a
tougher one in the chewing. As to the
poor mother, she could not eat; she loath
ed the sight of the food; and when her
* husband, who had tried uot to observe her
as she moved the dishes on the table, first
out of their places and then into them ; and
turned her food over and over on her plate,
without tasting it, said,?"Poor mother,
there's no use in trying!" she moved back
her chair, and took refuge in her little ad
joining bed-room. There she sat by the
window, looking up the road as long as she
could discern fence or tree as landmark
The night settled down on the earth as it
had on her spirit. The snow no longer fell,
but the wind rose and gusts came sweeping
down the hill-side, aud roaring in the chim
ney, and penetrating every crevice of the
?light tenement. Site shook, as it an ague
were on her, as she returned to her hus
band, and drew her chair close to him.
" You had best light a caudle, mother,"
said he; uColonel Miles will want a light
to guide him through this driving storm ;
light two, and set them in the window "
Sl?e lighted and placed them, and sat down
again ; the table.was left standing. A wo
man accustomed to perform the domestic
offices through all the routine ot life?to
go steadily on, come what will, joy or sor
row, with the periodical preparations that
sustain and solace animal life, must be para
lyzed before she neglects them. And so
was poor Mrs. Hathaway. The thought of
her good, honest, true, ever-cheerful boy,
in the convict's uniform, among the motley
gang of culprits and committed vagrants on
Blackwell's Island; such as she had heard
it described, with the neglect, misrule,
and wretchedness that prevailed there?the
thoughts of her little Ruth,?where was
she this crnel stormy night ? No wonder
the 'poor woman had left the table standing
as it was when she and her husband rose
froo^ it. No wonder she sat now leaning
on the arm of her husband^ chair, listen
ing for the Colonel's sleigh-bells, and hear
ing only the howling storm, and not heed
ing it, she heard her husband's little conso
lations dropped in every now and then, " if
the Colonel comes at all, he'll come soon
and with a sigh (most unwonted sound)
from that bosom of sunny cheerfulness;?
" it does not much signify whether he come
to-night, for it's certain no mail can come
through to-day. The Colonel's folks will
be expecting him. I should not wonder if
he drove through, bad as it is "' A long?
long pause- " Mercy on ns! that is a aleigh
' bell!" A breathless pause. " They're gone
by! I do wish the Colonel was well home
?his people will feel dreadfully, and it's
all on our account. It was a pity he staid,
we might have kuown there would have
been no news from them to-night!" Ano
ther pause, and a howling blast of wind,
and the poor mother asked, " what will be
come of Ruth if she is on the road this
weather ?,:
" Mother, look to Him who tempers the
wind to the shorn Iamb. If she gets Char
lie's pardon, she'll be paid for it all."
44 Pardon!" exclaimed Mrs. Hathaway,
in the only proud tone that ever came from
her; w I'd not ask pardon for the innocent
boy."
? Good! mother, good ! keep to that brave
feeling, and we'll weather the storm." But
it seemed that all the mother's courage had
spent itself in that one outbreak; she again
sank into desperate, motionless silence.?
" It is a bad night," murmured Hathaway,
"and worse in-doors than out!" and sad it
was to see the miseries that belong only to
ill-doing, gatherirg over this little family,
where patience and pious content had so
long reigned.
Suddenly Mrs. Hathaway raised her head,
her heart again fluttered. She dared not
?peak, but as the wind for a moment lulled,
she thought she beard approaching bells.
Her husband's slower senses heard them
too. She started to her feet. "They have
stopped here! it is the Colonel!" she ex
claimed ; in another instant the outer door
of the-little porch was thrown open, and
the inner door, and Ruth rushed in and
threw herself into her mother's arms, ex
claiming, " Cleared! cleared! cleared !"?
Softly and slowly after ber came Charles,
thoughtftil and considerate even %t this mo
ment, and holding back lest he should over
whelm his mother with sudden joy. WW
followed ean scarcely be described. There
were loud exclamations and hysterical burst*
of emotion, and then a deep silence?first
broken by the Colonel, who stood aloof,
tear* of sympathy running down his checks
fast enough to melt away the ice that stiff
ened his whiskers. " Goodness, mercy,
Hathaway!" he exclaimed. "Vourwith
ered arm is round Ciiarlic's neck!" And
so it was, that arm th?t had f?r<M||)r had a
perceptible movement for years, had re*
ceived a mysterious energy from the cut
rent of ffeelihg that stirred his whole being.
Every eye was now turned to " father
mother and children gathered round him,
and embraced him, the withered arm fell,
but from the tongue rose as joyful a thanks
giving as ever burnt from a grateful,-re
lieved, faithful heart.
" Well?good night, friends,good night?"
said Colonel Miles. " I go home the hap
piest man in Berkshire?except you, Hath
away."
" Oh, no, stay with us and eat supper,"
replied Hathaway. " We'll have the best
Thanksgiving in Massachusetts."
"The table is set already," he added, with
bis habitual chuckling laugh; and "Do stay
?do stay, dear colouel," came from mother,
Charles and Ruth. But the colonel could
on no account stay: "His own wife and
children were waiting at home," he said ;
"and now he began to think considerable of
them : and what decent father ever staid
from hir own children Thanksgiving Day."
And with the showering thanks aud bless
ing# of the Hathaways, he departed. There
are moments when the outer crust of the
undemonstrable Anglo-American breaks
away, and shows the glowing fires beneath
it.
Now it was, tbat all Miss Emma Gardi
ner's bountiful provisions came into play.
The reheated turkey, oysters, mince-pie
and pumpkin-pie, tarts, and sauces, melted
away before the keen appetites of our hap
py family. Ruth's cake alone was set aside.
"Mr. Henshaw,"she said in a low voice to
her mother, "talked of coming up the next
day." Hathaway averred, as he asked for
another and another bit, that he bad not
eaten a full meal since Ruth went away ;
his good wife said every mouthful had tasted
bitter ; and Ruth did not believe anything
could taste good in New York. But these
were only parenthetical remai ks,while every
particular of their late experience was re
lated. Our brief summary must be in
strong contrast to the diffuseness of our
friends.
It seemed that on the day preceding that
on which Charles was to have his- trial, a
treacherous friend cf a noted young wo
man, one Matilda Johnson, came to Hen
shaw, and told him, that if he would go to
the theatre that evening, he would see Otis
Jackson in the pit?that Otis would join
Matilda Johnson as she came down from
the gallery, when the play was over?and
that this Matilda would wear a certain
shawl, which had be?n missed from Brown
&. Wilson's a few days previous to Charles
Ha thaw ay'8 committal. Hensbaw accord
ingly went to the theatre with Sandley.?
A police-officer, well acquainted with Miss
Matilda, was directed to keep his eye on
her.
Everything went right The miserable
parties were tUtluwmJ to tiicii krdghig.
Hensbaw identified the shawl. Various
other articles, subtracted from the shop of
Messrs.7 Brown and Wilson, were found
among Miss Johnson's fine clothes-, and
she, and the wretched young man whom
she had caught in her toils and ruined,
were committed t* the tombs. Jackson
confessed tbat he thrust into Charles' pocket
the stolen goods found there, and Charles
was, of course, dismissed honorably without
a trial. "Even Messrs. Brownand Wilson,"
Ruth said, in concluding the story, "had the
grace to say they were sorry for what had
happened; and they offered Mr. Hensbaw
and Charles much better terms than they
were on before, if they would return to
them ; but Mr. Hensbaw is not a man to be
whistled off and on at the pleasure of
Messrs. Brown and Wilson. He is already
engaged at the first shop in the city, where
they havejlxed prices?where, he says,they
despise the Brown and Wilson fashion, of
asking one price and taking another?of
telling the customer that goods cost more
than they really did cost?or that they have
sold them for what they never did sell them
for?or that some Grandee, Mrs. So-and
So, has bought such?and 'that there is not
another in the shop, er in theoity'?or any
other of those contemptible lies by which
dishonorable dealers impose on foolish wo
men ; and by which, Mr. Hensbaw says,
father, they corrupt their clerks ; and, teach
ing the poor boys to lie for them, it cannot
be wondered at if they end in stealing for
themselves."
"And it does not end there," said Mr.
Hathaway; "the covetousness, tricking, and
lying, that are practised in small dealings,
are carried into larger ones. Our good name
is endangered and our country degraded. The
Browns and Wilsons became speculators
and repudiators. Hensbaw is a sensible
man, Ruth."
"I guess he is, father; and a true friend.
There was nothing that could be thought
of that he did not do for us, and crowned
it all, at the last,"?and little Ruth struck
her hands joyously together-?"by getting
Charlie a post next to himself in the shop

tive Pills is a medicine which not only euros
out prevents disease, capable of great results and
equally calculated to be safely used for apparently
small ones. We all know how dreadfql and dam
gerous a seated bilious disorder is, and we are also
well aware of tho seeming insignificance of lis firm
warnings or incipiency. The individual suffering
from slight pairp in his chest, back, or stomach, or
from occasional nausea, dull headache, extreme ner
vousness, sleeplessness, trifling prevarication of ap
petite, and other disagreeable visitations so c mmon
ly and foolishly looked upon as unimportant, may
not know that these symptoms, treatod so contemp
