From Every SaTurday. Without Reserve.

. mX SOLDt I said the occasion of thjis visit of mine to Deddingfcna, thouch nor a funeral, was a sad one. You shall iudee. .tl Oi 'it li ir. My unelev in the .long praptice of his profession: madV a pood1 deal of raoDey; and in .the early partt of his career, when he had a family about him, he was very, careful Uo increase his savings. Of later years, when successive bereavemerjts: had left ' him only one daughter. Ada to ara for, he thought less and less of money. He gave very generously to the poorj'not only through public institutions, but by many a secret charity, where his right hand knew not of his left hand's bounty.) Many a Christmas board smoked appetizingly, which but for his open hand, would have been bare. Many a grate, in many a cottage, on many a Winter's night burnt with a ruddy glare, which, but for him, would have been black and cold. And, beyond this, he spent liberally upon his house ana daughter. His house was noted far away for the perfect taste and elegance of its equipments. From f ttic to cellar it was his pride to have everything as complete and as good as money could make it. V t " You will have quite . enough, my girl, when I have spent all l ean in this way," he would say, " to'make the men run after you." fl As for Ada herself, his trouble was that money was not able to buy anything quite good enough for her. Her little pheaton anl her pair of grays was the prettiest turn-out in- that Riding j but it was not nearly good enough. So of her jewelry, her dresses, her piano, her harp, her lovebird in their gilded cage, her wonderful Pomeranian, " Nelly" (which took the hrst prize at the dog show year by year, as a matter of course); all these were good, were indeed, of the very best, but -were not good enough, he said not half good enough. Well, it happened just at tint time that a favorable jjchance 'presehted Itself for me to enter into partnership, with my present partners, so I sola out my shares in the bank and found employment for my money in business; doing so, I confess, not without many regrets, at withdrawing from so flourishing a., concerDpanu many misgivings ,as to whether I should ever afirain have from my savings so comfortable an addition to my small income as I had had tiji then. These regrets ceased, and were ex changed for a profound thankfulness, when, a year ago, the new manager absconded, and it was found that he had committed the bank to liabilities which rendered it perfectly insolvent, and involved the ruin of nearly every shareholder in it. . But xuy delight, at my, owa escape was sadly" tempere'd by regret that my good old uncle was fatally involved in the great catastrophe. The bank being on-the principle of unlimited 'liability, of course' those shareholders who had money had to make good the deficiencies of the poorer proprietors, and, Thomas Enoch's' wealth was "but as a drop in the bucket of the overwhelming comnrtnients of the bank. For a while it was hoped a3 it always is' hoped on tuch occasions that the concern would be wound up with-OTit-cating-t)D"'Thehareh6!de'fs"o contribute more than the capital they had abeea'dy paid; ap. j .. k O But a few months proved the groundlessness of such a hope, and euch of the?; -shareholders as were more abundantly endowed "with prudence than-, honesty, anticipated the calls of the official liquidators 'by levantins, and leaving those to bear theJ tjurden or ueot ose sense ot tonor refused to allow them to"fol!3wsucl5 examples. My uucie stood it out to the last, surrendered everything he possessed to the creditors, and saw himself utterly bankrupt in all but his iatesr .This visit of mine to Deddington, in fact, was to enable me to be pres ent at the sale of all his household t fleets and to "buy iu againNat the auction, for his use and Ada's, such things 'as I could not see taken from them so long as it was in my poor power to prevent it. But, unhappi y, it was but little that , could do, my meaus being rcuch more limited than my good-will. Tr .utwas; Ada -wha'opened the door forme. She was cheerful, and resigned to iter altered lot, thinking indeed only 6f her father, as he seemed to tbjnk only other. t r She had pians-of he own, chief of which was that plan of all well educated, needy ladies to take the situation of a governess.'" "As for her father, she knew not. and he knew not, hit was to be done t but they did not doubt that some friendly door would open to him, and " He that doth the ravens feed. Yea, providentially catejs for the sparrow. Be comfort to his age." Nor need I say that a friendly door was set open to him that night, and that he very"' frankly accepted the shelter of my town lodgine uutii happier 'days should come. Ada. meanwhile, had accepted the invitation of a friend a few miles away to stay a few weeks with her; and thus the two were to be parted for almost the first time in her life. I think the prospect for this separation pained ; them more that night than the loss of all their possessions. They sat all the evening elapsed in each other's arms. And she pillowed his head upon her breast, as he had so often pillowed hers. i She took me through thj rooms,

and a very dreary round it was. The stair-carpets were up? and so were the bedroom, .carpets. - J'he, boards were marked by dirty feet, for tire elegant wd"-uTerior'hc5tise'ho!(f ftrrnifuTe and effects had been on view all day. Townsfolk who hid never crossed the threshold before had been through every room ; in the . house save one. Brokers from Shiretown had sounded all -the chairs, and tables and bedsteads. .. Everything was ticketed and Bumbered for the sale oa the morrow.; ; Lot ,342 .was the gilded cage wihi Ada's love-birds, . and Lot 370 was." Nelly.'', Lot 420 was her harp, and Lot 421 her piano. These things I marked for my f own. . Lots 500 to 574 inclusive," were my uncle's books, done np in bundles of about half : a dozen, "irrespective of: subject. I looked through these, and noted a few parcels wnich contained his favorite authors. I noted the numbers of some few choice pieces of furniture, and then we returned to the little room where my uncle sat looking into the fire. He and Ada had sat there all day, keeping the door . locked, while the tramp of footsteps went on outside. - . .. . . V did not sit Ion?, however before my uacld went off in low spirits enough to his bed. But Ada and I sat later, side, by side (on a favorite little couch), and there we had a conversation we are not likely soon to forget. Indeed, we sat ,and talked so long that it was morning before I went off to my resting-place, which she told me I should find in Lot 127. And I wish I may never have a worse lot than I found it. It was a good bed, in which I' had slept many a time before, and I jotted it down as one of the things I must try to buy, along with the little couch. But a man dees not find sleep in the downiest pillow, : unless he takes it with him, and I did .not sleep that night.

Indeed, at breakfast-time, we none of us looked much refreshed. And when the townsfolk "began to come in again for their final view, it cost us some little effort to rouse .ourselves into decent spirits. ' Ada went off to a neighbors's to be out of the sound of the auctioneer's hammer. My uncle, however, put on a cheerful, brave face, stayed. at home, and went, stick in hand, from room to room, and told the real value of this piece of .furniture, and , that , to friends who wished to purchase, and won" good-will and sympathy in his misiortune, as he . had won respect and esteem in his prosperity .. . I ! Amongst others came in old Miss Bellamy, My uncle saw her coming up the stairs, and drew me back into a bedroom till she passed and so kept out of. her sight till , she had gone ;from room to room, slowly, through all the. house, ;and left it again. : r : After her came, in a little whiie, two : respectable .looking; men, strangers to the town brokers, it was whispered, from London and these havipg also gone , the round of the house, note-book in band, chose for themselves seats iu' front,, near the auctioneers desk, . and, the hour of sale being close at hand, made it very clear that they had . come with decided., intentions ,of doinr business. Strange, how elastic is fbe spirit under trouble. As the sale went ori, and my uncle saw first ( one favorite of furniture and -then another fall under the hammer,his spirits rose, and he became very, . cheerful and lively. He chuckled and rubbed his bands when things went for more than hetad given for them,; although it put no; penny in his pocket, fie took it as a high personal compliment that the two London brokers should have .come down to D. dditg;on. There is not another house in the town they would haye. come to," he said. And. when he foun-jhat nearly everything was beiDg knocked down either to them or to-other strangers whom no one ktew, hi began to think" the. fame of4 his gcol taste mustjhave spread very wlcei". fin fact the "townfolks got hardly anything.-:. It soon became apparani that the strangers meauf to have it all their own, way; and when once or twice a towns-man, having set his mind on'; some particular article, was allowed to get it only after it had been run" up to about- uouble -its value, townspeople-became - very &hy of bidding, and had it not been that there were two or three-sets of these foreign brokers, the front-seat couple would have had all at their own price. Indeed, as it was, the prices of the early part of the. sale were hot maintained. " For the strangers plaved into each other's hands after a while, and spared each other's purses. It was some - little surpriso-to me that none of them bid against me for the few lots I had marked, and that they all fell to me at less than half their value. Hopkins, the butler, who had lived with, my unele' forty years (having come as stable boy), made two or three bids at one lot and got : it, that lot being the brass door-ptate. with my uncle's name on it. lie did not bid at anything else, but wrapped this up carefully, with its screws, and went off with it. " You'll never make money of that bargain, Hopkins," said my uncle; but no one else joked the old man upon his purchase. (. It was a two day's sale; and when all was over, it was actually found that nine-tenth3 of the goods which bad been so d had become the property of fOine half dozen strangers, and that these half dozen had all been acting in concert, the real purchasers of the whole being James and Patchett, the eminent brokers in Oxford Street. ' TLey said they would send orders from London in a day or two for the

disposal of their purchases, which, in the meantime. theywould i glad if they could leave Perhapa myuncle would be willing to still t?onsiderhem at" his" service" until " they sent for them." - My unele thanked them, but eould not accept such a loan from, strangers. He was going, he 6aid, that night to the boteL and next day with me to Londn. . '" . . "Take the key, Hopkins," he said, " and leave it at the . Bank." "-And Hopkins toot it and locked the door. " Why, what extravagance is this, Hopkins?" he exclaimed again, as he saw the cab from the Sun waiting for him at the door. " Do you think all this has ' taken the use . of my limbs from me, and that I could not walk a couple of hundred yards?" - "lam not going to have a lot of people staring art you as you walk,"

said Hopkins. So we got in -Hopkins outside with the driver. . "Why, he's taking us round. by Jackson's Lane," said my uncle, as he pulled down the window, and called to the driver to know where he was going. "It's all right," said Hopkins; "I've a call to make, if you'll excuse me taking the liberty." - Confound his impudence," said my uncle, "driving me about to make lm calls!'.' , i ' Now, Jackson's Lane is just outside the town, and has a few pretty little semi-detached houses in it, each with a neat bit of garden in front. We stopped in a minute at one of the prettiest of these, and Hopkins jumped down and opened the door of the cab and the gate of the garden. . ''Please to step in, sir, for only one minute," said Hopkins, with an ajr of freat embarrassment, such as I might ave imagined him to assume in case of his being suddenly detected; stealing the spoons. "Please do step in, sir, and excuse the liberty." And at that momenfcthe house door opened, and out stepped Burnett, my uncle's cook, and stood at the end of the little gravel walk, courtesying and blushing violently; . . . " Why. Burnett, what in the name of goodness do you and Hopkins mean?" asked. my uncle. "Not Burnett any longer,'" Hopkins broke in, "I was tired of seeing her crying in the kitchen this morn ing, so as I happened to have a marriage license in my pocket, we walked as far as the church while the sale was on, and she came out Mrs. Hopkins, if you'll excuse us faking such a liberty, without naming- it first to -OU. :!!-.' - - ' ' : It s the most sensible thing you ever done in your life." said my uncle; '.'but I bad some thought of asking her myself." 1 ' Mrs. Hopkins blushed redder than before, and dropped short courtesies without intermission. . . "So you've' brought me here to wish i you joy. Well, God bless ycu both!"-: i - " " i " It was not exactly that," said Hopkins; "indeed, I -could not have taken such a liberty. ' But I thought, sir, perhaps I thought that, perhaps. you viand Miss r Ada and Burnett thought, too "'. -jy - "" Why, my good Hopkins," gaid my uncle, "what does this mean?"-for he had quite broken 'down, and could say no more. ' '' ' : - ': ' ' "We thought, sir," broke in Mrs; Hopkins, later Bupbettr "as he says, that as we have lived under the same roof with you and Miss Ada so many years, you, wouldr perhaps?,' let us live under the same-roof with you a little oogerr we. being too old to, make new" fnendsT So Hopkins, he had a chance to get this house, and he has made it as comfortable as he can, and w.c thought you would, perhaps, let us live with you here, till you flnd a more fitting p'ace;" and' Burnett, as,, she concluded her speech (which he had not got through without many interruptions)polished -the door-plate with her apron, and" "my uncle'read his own name upon it Then he went into the ' pAilor,'aud he buried bis face for a minute in his bands.. When he lifted it agaia Hopkins"was standing with his bank deposit book in his hand. , ', . , ' O master," he said, " yours has been such an easy service .that to have no one, to sei;ve will be, harder work. Let us stay with : you -still.; Don't call it staying with us. .. .See here; all we have is yours. We have no other use for it; take it for yourself and Miss Ada; only don't let. us part." And he put the deposit-book ca the table at my uHclels hand..' -r : The old lawver - looked at ;him steadily for a while before he found words to answer him: . ; ;." Hopkins," he said, I have read of:such servants as you and Burnett in books, but I never believed in them." - "And-'I," said Hopkins, 'have read of such masters as ours, and found it very easy 'to believe in thera "But I could net take'it, Hopkins. I am going to London with Will." " W by not take it. sir? it is only a little of what you have overpaid me." " I have nerer paid you at all, Hopkins; such service as yours is not paid with money. . But we win stay with you to-night instead of going to the hotel. There, now." " Yes, yes," chuckled the old butler, "and longer than to-night, or my name's not Hopkins." After this we sat a long time without speakin?, until a knock came to the door, and in an instant Ada was in her father's arms. Hopkins had sent word to her where she would find him, and Mrs. Hopkins had met her at the door, and told her that her bed was prepared for her."What does it all mean, ppa? HopkiBS and Burnett here, and you?"

" Hopkins and Burnett count only

as one, my dear, now. They got mar nca tnis morning, mis is tne'.r house, and thev persist iu railing it mine, and they don't want to part with me, but .wish just to keep their old situation, they say. That's all." - Then Ada ran out to wish the old couple joy. And they laughed with her a little, and cried with het a good deal before she cam? back to us. ' And, indeed, I hardly know what emotions were strongest ; with any of us all the rest of the evening. But I am sure that none of us was u all unhappy. ?- Lveu when my uncle-took up the book and we heard , him read, (low ana unconscious tnat nis lips were forming the words), :,t jr .. "O, that I were as in 'months past; as in the days when God reserved me; when his candle shined upon my head, and when by hio light I. walked through -darkness; as I was in the days of my youtrr,.whcn, the secret of God was upon : my. tabernacle: when the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me; Even, I say, as we caught his low words, the tender pity in his voice seemed rather pity for another than himself. But wheu Ada took the book .out of his hand, and said, "I will read to you, papa; and when she turned fo another pase and read out, firmly and boldly, "O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good, for His mercy enduretn forever, we felt then that she had struck the truer and the nobler key, and before she came to the end of the Psa'.m we did not doubt that He who ' had turned our water-springs into dry ground could turn again our dry ground into watersprings; that He who had diminished us and brought us low, was indeed mighty enough and gracious enough, to 6et the poor on high again from affliction.' ' ,.' . ' Hopkins came in with candles when it was growing late, and asked, ( with as profound a deference as ever he had asked, if anything more was wanted. And so we went to bed in the new house, with the old door-plate on the door.' Ada's love'-bird3 hung in their old cage in the window, and Nelly, coiled up in her basket, kept watch , outside her chamber. ';' " , ,'; CONCLUDED TO-MORROW .J " CARPETS. FALL, 1SOT-.
