History of St. Albans. II)' mi old Krslileiit. PART XIX. NATIIAKIKI. 11. IlLnRIDOK Came to St. Albans in the year 1811, from tho State of Connecticut, which was his native State. Ho had been admitted to tho bar then, but had not boon in practice but little, if any. He made application for admission in this county, and after somo preparatory study ho was admitted in tho winter of 1811-12. Ho comnicncod practico in St. Albans, and soon obtained a considerable run of business, particu larly as a collecting attorny. Ho was quito ropular with a considerable portion of tho federal party by whom he was esteemed as a young man of talents, and deserving patronago; and thoy threw into his hands all tho busi ness thoy could. Ho was somowhat fond of military .honors, and ha was made colonel of tho regiment which embraced tho militia of the town of St Albans. His health soon began to fail; and he was advised to take a sea voyage to a milder and moro gonial clime. Accordingly, in the summer or autumn of 1819 ho went to Franco to try tho climato of that country for tho improvement of his health. Ho stayed in Bordeaux tho following win tor, and in the Spring he returned to St. Albans with improved health, as ho supposed. Ho agaiu commenc ed business in his profession. But tho disease with which he was afllict ctl soon assumed a confirmed pulmon ary character, and ho died of con sumption in tho summer of 1821. Col. Eldridgo was not reputed to bo a great lawyer, not having arrived to that ago at which tho mental facul ties aro supposed to bo fully develop ed or matured. His friends had full confidence that if his life had been spared ho would havo obtained a high ly respectable standing as a lawyer and as a citizen. Somo four or fivo years boforo his death ho married Eliza Jones daughter of Josoph Jones, ono of the early sottleis, who died soveral years before. Col. Eldridgo's widow resid ed in St. Albans somo considerable timo aftor her husband's deccaso, but finally removed to Upper Canada to rcsido with hor brothor. Sho thoro married a Sir. Morris, nnd died sever al yoars ago. JOSHUA K. SMEDLEY Was a nativo of Georgia in this coun ty, whoro ho was born about tho year 1783 or 81. no studied law with Benjamin Swift, and was admitted to tho bar in 1809. In tho next winter 1810 or 11 ho formed a partnership with Gen. Elias Fasset of St. Albans, and removed to this village, whoro ho and his partner continued in tho prac tico of law for soveral years, until tho connection was dissolved by tho ro moval of Fasset into Chittenden coun ty. Mr. Smcdloy continued his busi nes afterwards in this placo for a con siderable time, first alono, and thou in connection with Henry Adams, until tho suminor of 1828, when ho was at- tacked with a violent fever of which ho died. Fasset died in Burlington somo years before. Mr. Smedloy had not tho advant ages of a classic education, except what was attainablp at tho Franklin county Grammar School in St. Albans, But ho was not an unlearned man, Ho mado good use of the opportunities which had boon afforded biro, and treasured up a fetorp f)l iuforaatlou ST. AT.BA.iSrS, VT, TT'lJDA-Y, which ho tuniotl to n good account in tho prnctico of his profession. Ho wns roputotl to bo a innn of somul aenfio ntul strict integrity. Ho Btood woll at tho bar as a Bound lawyer; and though not highly dislinguitihcd as an advocate, there wcro few young men in Una vicinity who hid a bettor repu tation for legal knowledge, or could bo more safely consulted as au advis or or counsellor. Ho had many warm and devoted facials, and fow, if any', enemies. Ho was, what is called, a solf-mudo man, not having had tho advantages of poworful or influential frionds to assist and patronizo him in tho commencement of his practice. For tho reputation ho acquired as a faithful and industrious lawyer, ho was indebted to his own habits of in dustry and pcrsovoranco, and to those alone. Ho was novor marriod, and loft but fow relatives to mourn his loss. fTo be Continued.) Will. Wairs Story. I was tired of working on old Grand'thor Jossup's farmtired of milking tho cows and Inking tho corn to mill, and drawing great buckets of water. Wicked of me, I know, to foci so, when Grand'thor Jcssup had brought mo up and dono everything for mc, without being any relation only Grand'ther to mr, as ho" was to all Oakhill. Very, very wicked, so I kept it to myself, and used to pray against tho feeling, Sundays, in tho low-roofed old meeting house, and do double work week days to make up for having even thought how tired I was of it all. I don't know then, as I did after wards, that it was only my natural disposition at work within mo, that 1 could no more bo happy in that regu lar round of duties, than a racor could in a tread-mill. I thought it was sin, and nothing olso. You see I had tho rover in mc. On tho father's sido thoy wcro all sailors, and whenever I went near tho sea, or or any water oven, as a child, I used to feel a thrill and a tremble, and a great, great longing for it. I wanted to bo a saMor, and besides that, I wanted to bo rid of Oakhill for another reason. I was in love with Grand'ther Jessup's real grand-daughter his heiross, and a beauty, if ever there was one. I'vo hoard what poets think a description of somo protty wo man, but all tho roses and lilies" nnd pearls and gold in tho world can't de scribe Jessio Jossup. You can't do scribo a sunset or a storm at sea, so as to givo- auy out- nn idea of .what it roally is, and neithor do I think can you doscribo a person. Tho nearest I can come to it would bo to say she sparkled. Faco and voico and manner all sparklod liko tho waves iu tho sun light of a splendid summer day. Perhaps you don't think that Grand'ther Jessup was a very great pe-son, or that any ono might not havo boon good enough for his daugh ter, but in that placo ho was about the richest man and I tho very poorest boy. Tho seafaring man that camo to Oakhill to livo a month and died, leav ing his wifo and baby without a ponny in tho world, was remembered yot by somo, and always as somo strange, well-disposed creature, such as fables tell us livo in tho depths of tho sea might havo been. His ways and his languago not liko theirs, and every ono know that Grand'ther Jossup would look higher for Jessio when ho made up his mind that sho should marry at all than that poor stranger's son. Jessio would herself, I -felt quito sure. Sho chatted with mo iu hor own merry way, and, indeed, in that coun try placo master and man sat at tho samo table and went to tho samo mer ry makings, tho difference in their possessionsthe only ono that existed being romemberod all tho samo; and plump matrons with rosy daughters, knowing as well which young farmer was tho best match, and who, on ac count of want of "expectations," was not to bo allowed to spark Molinda or Emma Jane. Everybody know my prospects, and I had no lancy that Jessio Jessup and I could make a match of it; but, still, I wanted to go away more than over sineo Jim Lawrence had bought the neighboring farm Jim Lawrcnco, who was handsome and merry, and had moro monoy than any one 1 knew besides Grand'ther Jessup; Jim Law rence, who brought his handsome faco over to tho Jessup farm oftoner than I for ono cared to seo it thore. So I had tho heart-ache, and was tired of ploughing and planting, and of thinking day and night of nothing but "crops," and ono morning I shoul derod my little bundle of clothes and walked away. Tho hoavy work of tho year wus all over, and I know old Grand'ther could find other men to do as well as L So I only said to him: "God bless you for your goodness to mo when I was a littlo orphan ba by. God bless you for your kindness all through; but somohow I know I u over could bo a farmor. I'vo a long ing for tho soa." Ho lookod at mo in an odd, wistful way, and put his fat hand on my hoad, as lie had when I was a child. "I kinder calculated to seo you about mo ahcayf," ho said, with a wist ful look iu his blue oyes. "Well, woll go if you must. You've been, n good, obedient boy, and " Thou ho fumbled in his pool;at and took out an old purse. "Take that to help you along," ho said, f'pou't rofuso it. I au't poor, I you kuow; and good-bye, Will., good bye." So 1 went away without waiting to shako hands with Jessio, and in a wcok had shipped on board n vessel for In dia. It was tho lifo I liked; but oven tho sea could not drivo tho faco of Jessio Jessup out of my'rnind. I sailed it for yearc and ycnrs first boforo tho mailt; then second-mato; then first mato; at last, captain. But thoro nov or wn& a night iu all that timo that, looking down into tho waves, I could not boo there, in tho moon-light, a pic ture of tho old Jessup farm-house, and of Jessio standing in tho firelight with her 6parkling faco bright with her own gay smile or tho great apple-orchard where I had picked tho best fruit for hor; or tho green meadow through which tho littlo stream ran, whoro when a littlo child, I had taught her to fish. I could not forget her, and when I was a man. of forty sho was just as dear to mo is over, though I thought sho must bo8omo other man's wifo long, long ago; though I fancied, as Lamb says, that: "her children called another ffttW" y I was well off by this timo, and I might have chosen somo protty woman for my wifo I know. They did not seem to disliko mo, and I had flirtedja bit with no great harm dono to any one just a whisper and n stolen kiss, you know. But "wifo" was in no one's faco for mo; I folt suro I should die as I had lived quito alono. So, as my ship was all tho brido I orer should havo, I stuck to her, and mado up my mind to bo buried in tho sea I had sailed so long. It was twenty years since I had left tho farm. Twenty I was then, and no one would havo known mo with my long black beard, and tanned skin; and ono day I took a fancy, being ashoro aftor a long voyage, to run down to Oakhill and seo whether the old man was living. If I did not choose, I felt sure to ono need know tho Will. Waif who had lived among them when ho was a slim, fair-looking boy, in tho stout, heavy, brown, Llack bearded sea captain of forty. I walked out to Oakhill, and there was tho old house just as it had been; tho old farm green as over; tho orch ard, renewed, I suppose, but seeming liko tho samo trees I had picked ap ples from long ago. I went round to tho porch, and there sat an old, old whito-hcaded man. For a moment I doubpto that it was Grand'ther Jessup, but I knew him the next. He was ninety by that timo, and bent, and shrivelled, and with ered. I touched my cap to him. "Who's that?" said he. "A man who has walked a long way and would liko to rest a bit," sad I. "Sit down," Bid, he, vd.I sat down. "It's a pleasant day," said I. "Yes," said ho, "very pleasant, but I'm tired of it all somehow. It looks pleasanter over there;" and ho pointed to tho church-yard, plainly to bo seen from tho porch. "Ayo," said I "wo all cast anchor there at last, or somewhoro where wo sleep as well. I'd liko tho sea my self." "Why ?" said ho. "Oh, I'm a sailor," said I. "A sailor ?" said ho. "I brought up a toy who went for a sailor." "Did you ?" said I. "A rare good boy," ho said, iu his old man's way, chuckling and nodding. "I loved him liko n son; but ho left me. Sho's gono too Jessio." "Married V" said L "No, neither of 'en marriod both doad," said ho. "Dead! Not Jessio ?" "Yes," ho said. "I think it's ten yoars ago. It's in tho Bible. I was reading it just now. That tall whito stono under tho willow near tho church, that's hors. Sho died and I Uicd to cry about it, I don't know only I'm so tired. Yes, yes but Will. Waif should havo stayed." "Did you want him ?" said I, tho tears in my eyes. "Do you want him now ?" "I supposo ho is dead too," said tho old man; "uudcr tho sea somewhere. I did want him. I'd mado up my mind he should marry Jessio. Ho hud nothing not a ponny; But I was agoiu' to givo him tho farm and livo along with 'via. I couldn't offer my gal, and ho didn't ask. I thought he would, you know. "So ho wont. Yes, yes I used to dream of seeing tho two man and wifo aud dancing thejr babies on my kneo." "Is that true t" I gasped. "Yes, yes," said tho old man; "I liked him, you kuow, but I nover know Jessie did until tho day sho died." I was on my foot then. I felt half mad. "Know that Jessio liked him ?" I cried. "Yes," said ho- "Sho nover marriod. Sho stayed with mo until sho died. And that day sho put hor arms about my nock. " 'I'm going, Grand'ther,' said sho; 'I don't want to loavo you said she, in hor pretty voico, 'but I must.' 'Oh,' said I, I can't part with you, my dear -I can't' "Aud sho kissed mo again. " 'Thon,' Bays sho, 'I want to whis per.' "And I put my head down. " 'If Will- over cornea back,' Baya sho, 'toll him I nover forgot him. 1 shan't mind whon I'm dead. Toll him I nov or liked any ono clso after ho wont away; and, Grand'thor I think ho onco likod mo.' "Aud sho nover said much mcro, but put her hoad down on my arm and so died. I think it's ton yoars ago; maybo it's moro; look in tho Bi ble" A.nd Ikuelt down thon.andv criiid MAIiCll. ',30, 18(37. liko a child cried as I novor thought to as I novor had before. My wasted lifo was all boforo mo; and I might have been eo happy, for Jessio loved mo. "I'm' Will. Will. Waif. Don't you know mo, Grand'thor ?" I cried. And J think ho did, in a kind of dreamy wa', pretty soon, for ho scorned to liko to havo mo with him. And now I know all. I loft tho soa, and settled down in Oakhill, and was as much of a con to tho old man as I know how to bo whilo ho lived. And though I am an old man now, I still livo thoro, and go often to Jessio Jossup's gravo; nnd I havo boon hap pier since I know sho loved mo; for, d'yo seo, I seem to havo a feeling now that I nover had boforo a droam, or a hopo, or a trust that sho will, somo how, in a pure and holy way, bo mine in Hoavon. Gen. Slicrniiin In His Cumn. The following extract, doscriptivo of Lieut-General Sherman as ho was often to bo seen at midnight, restless ntad thoughtful, when all his army was sleeping, will bo rocognizod as exceed ingly truthful by many a soldier who had occasion to visit his hoadqnartors at such an hour: Tho canvass covor, toward which the cye3 of both woro now oagerly di rected, liko the others on tho line, which wcro tho homes of tho Gener al's military family, was open from tho front, so that tho slightest movomont of its intnato could bo observed from tho outside. They could now seo that tho General had risen from his cot Thrusting his bare feet into a pair of slippers, ho unrolled from rt scrap of newspaper a cigar, and then stepped out from such protection as tho tent offered from tho falling dew into the open grounds. Ho looked up into tho sky and then out into tho darkness in an absont, half-abstracted way. Tho night air was chilly and tho camp fire had burned low. Gather ing tho ends of tho charred rails to gether, ho heaped them upon tho still smouldering ashes; then, taking a camp stool from tho tent, ho sal down before tho fire, which ho had now kindled into a blaze; ho lighted his cigar, and, with his elbows resting up on his knees, gazed earnestly into tho bed of coals and flame. Tho bright light sliono full into tho iron face marked with strong lines of thought and care. Tho bold forehead seemed to pro ject itself higher and broader among the short scrub growth of cross-grained hair. The light caught upon tho unbuttoned wristband, taking a warm er glow from tho red shirt hardly covarfng his bare neck. A strange, grand figure was this sitting thoro, whoso subtlo brain at that moment was working out ono of tho great events in the fato of tho na tion. Tho ilanio of the fire now gathered new strength, flaring up into tho night, revealing tho interior of the tent in clearer outline. It was not a gorgo ous pavilion, carpeted with velvet and gold, hung with tapestry of silk and wool, furnished with luxurious couch and ease-inviting lounge, with liveried servants to anticipate its' owner's slightest wish, surrounded by triple sentinels to guard him from every harm. Thcro was a singular simplicit', al most a poverty, which marked the headquarters of tho great Captain. Tho tent was a single picco of cot ton cloth, stretched from ft ridgo polo, whore it was hold firm to tho ground on cither sido by wooden pegs. A cross-legged camp cot, a small camp chest, which is half covered with uni form thrown upon it, makes up tho scanty furniture Besido a single candle, burned to its socket, thero lies a volumo of Waverloy. A letter book answors for a writing table; a valiso is tho General's only travelling baggage. A numbor of maps, somo oponod, and all woll worn, lie upon a blanket which answers for a lloor to tho tent, Thero was very littlo pi otension about this monago of tho commander who had millions at his disposal. Thero was no ltoman Consul nor modorn Emporor travelling in grand stato, with pompus mion and brilliant re tinuo, but ft citizen genoral of tho He public, not borrowing dignity from advoutitious sourrouudings, but, in tho simplicity of an unselfish dovotion to his couutry, doing tho work which lay boforo him. Thoro was a weired grandour, su pernatural!) picturcsquo, in this in tense stillness, this silent, motionless figuro of tho chief of thousands of strong men, who slept whilo ho sat watching tho contral figuro in the grand picture. In tho spectral firo light it seemed almost alono, for tho lino of tents roceded in tho darkness on cithor side. Tho moon now and then burst through the masses of heavy clouds revealing groups of tents on tho distant hill-sido; horses and mules woro crouched upon tho ground; whilo bohind them roso a forest of pines; filled with tho mys torious shadows and giucoful trco tops molting into tho vail of bluo.
