The old laoy trembled, felt for her pocket-book, and r»ised her veil. Th-. colonci looked into ber tace, si.immed the stage-door, and, sitting down ou the bub ei one of the wheels, stared vucuitly into space, 'Nothin'?' queried Perkins, in 8 whisper, aud with a i-4se full of genuine sympathy.

No—yes,' said the colonel, dreamily.

That is, untie 'em. an' let the stage go ahead,' h« continued, npringitig to ins feet. 'I'll hurrv hack to the cabin.' And Ihe volonel dashed into tbe bushes, and left bis followers so paralyzed with astonishment that Old Black afterward remarked that'ef ther'd ben anybody to bold the bosses he could hev cleaned out the hull crowd vvetb bis vvlsip

The passengers, now relieved of their weapons, were uubuuud and allowed to rv-enter the staue, and th» oor was slammed, upon which Old Bl *ck picked u}» his reins as coolly us if he hud laid them down at a station while horses were being changed then he cracked bis whip, and tho stage rolled oil', while the colonel's party hastened back to their hut. fondly inspecting as they went certain ll.isks they bad obtained while transacting their business with the occupants ot the stage.

Great was the surprise of thnroadagents «s they entered their hut, for there stood the colonel in a ciean white shirt, and in a suit of clothing made up irom tbe limited spare wardrobes ol tbe other members of the gang.

Hut the suspicious Cranks speedily subordinated his wonder to his prudence. as, laying on the table a watch, two pistols, a pocket-book und a hetvy puis *, he exclaimed

Come, colonel, liizness before pleasure let's divide, an' scatt r. Kf anyIwtny should hear 'bout it, un' lind our trail, an' ketch us with the traps in our possession, they might

Colonel,' dd Perkins, removing his own domino and looking anxiously into the leader's lace, 'bo you sick? H'-re's some bully brandy I found in one id the passenger's pockets.'

I bin't nothing',' replied the colonel, vuh averted eyes 'I'm a-goin', un1 I'm a-retirin' from thin bizuess for ever.'

Ain't a goin'totiirnevidence?' cried Cran i- -, grasping the pistol on tbe table. I'm a-goin' to tnako a lead mine of you ef you don't take that back roared the colonel, with a bound, which caused Cranks to drop the pistol and retire precipitately forward, apologizing as he went. "Int' goin' to 'tend to my own bizuess, an' that's enough to keep any man bizzv. Somebody lend me (lay till I see hnn ag in.'

Perkins pressed the money into the c-'loiiel's hand, and within two minutes the colonel was on Tipsie's back, and galloping on in the direction tho stage had taken.

He overtook it, he passed it, and still he galloped oil. The people at Mud Gulch knew the colonel v\»• 11, and made it a rule never to be astonished at any thing he did but they inude an exception to the rhle when the colonel canvassed the principal bar rooms lor men who wished to purchase a horse and when a gambler who was flush obtained Tipsic in ex change for twenty slugs—only a thousand dollars, when the colonel had a| ways said that tbero wasn't gold enough on top of the ground to buy her—Mud Gulch experienced a decided sensation.

One or two enterprising persons speedily discovered that the colonel was not in a coin mimical ive mood, so every one retired to his favorite saloon, and bet According to Ills own opinion of the colonel's motives and actions.

Hut when the colonel, after remaining in a barber-shop for half an hour, emerged with his face clean-shaven and his hair neatly trimmed and parted, betting was s*o wild that a coolheaded sporting man speedily made a fortune by betting against every theory that was advanced.

Then the colonel made a tour of the stores, and titted himself to a new suit of clothes, carefully eschewing all ot the generous patterns and prononnced colors so dear to the average miner. He bought a new hat, and put on a pair of boots, and pruned his fingernails, and, stranger than all, he mildly hut firmly declined all invitations to drink.

As ihe colonel stood in the door of tbe principal saloon, where the stage always stopped, tbe Challenge Hill conatahtc was seen to approach tbe colonel, and tap him on the shoulder, upon which all men who bet that the colonel was dodging somebody claimed tho stakes.

It seems but yesterday since the writer, re«diug tor the bar (how inuch English law lost tnrhini!), diligently frequented Westminster Hall aud tho Guildhall and seeing vigorous narristers roaring away to common jjtirbe, or going ou with a cross-examination in which every question began with the sharp and minacious No, Sir! listened with wonder to the assurance that vigorous barrister had worn a wgaud gold for tive-and-tweniy years, or five-and-thir-ly. Surely, ho ought to be dead long ago. That was the reflection then. It is different now. It has been discovered that lime passes away to the amount of twenty years or more,, but that it is really"a\ery short while anditleaves the huiiiau being not so much changed still with the old likings, hopes and wishes still with the oid weaknesses aud faul.s still the same man. Furthermore, as years accuin .late behind one, so does work. You havedonesuch a deal. It mounts up to something awful to think or. And this, though very much of the work dono loaves no perin-tncut trac but just suffices to do what is required by tni day, and to keep be macuinery going. You have writteu fourteen letters this morning you have visited eighteen sick folk his afternoon. It had all to be done. Had you not done il you would liavo been miserable, in the sense of duty neglected. Hut there is nothing to show for it. It is not like tho abiding pages of inestimable theology or nulU morality, which, being, written, you lay up in a box—the abiding memorial of past tabor. It frightened oue, iu tbe old days, to hear men In advauced life speak'of the work tliey had done.

MEMPHIS.

A Memphis paper thus describes the condition of the city at present: On the street pedestri ins are few and far between. A hulv is rarefy met, and when met is almost invariably clad in deep morning. The street-car drivers have increased their pace tbeir vehicles are more frequently empty now than cair.ving passengers, uud so th light-burdened mules dush along at spanking rate. The hearse, with its odding plumes, snowy white or rav^eu b|:ic£, is now the most familiar vehicle on the streets of Memphis. One would think at times that it was never out ot sight. It is fast losing its ghastly up peuranco, so familiar bav^ wo become with iis hideous form. Bui it no longer moves wiih the statoly funeral solemnity which heretofore has characterized it. The driver looks comf rtablo, the horses are slick and spruce, und show tbeir keeping, aud the vehicle moves off to tbe house of death with tho speed of a sporting four-in-hand dashiug along Harlem road to the Jerome Park races. The city schools are all closed. The merry hum of happy children's voices is hushed, aud from the playground there are now no joyous shouts or ringing laugbt r. but.' a solemn silence reigns instead. But it is at night, when darkness falls upon the deserted city, that Memphis indeed puis on her mourning robes. Al nil early hour the streets are deserted, and by 10 o'clock there is scarcely a sound heard save the huriii steps of some agitated messenger seeking a doctor, or a clergyman to minister to the sick, or a lawyer to draft the last wilt and testament of the dying or the sounds of the wheels of a vehicle, hero and there, hurrying off with people tin the mine mis-ion or tho stealthy step of some tbief, prowling in tbe darkness or some solitary policcman ou Ins beat, watching for the thicl. The gaslight, which in prosperous times has a cheering effect now serves only to inukn the dreariness aud desolation of tho streets the more visible.
