Titanium ____â€"v THE JUDGES DIARY. A DREAM 1N EVIDENCE. Irecollect reading somewhere a tale, or sketch, called ‘ The Last of the Pigtails,’ which was supposed to give an account of the last Old gen- tleman who in London were that appendage on the nape of his neck, at one time, considered full dressed. It may be that the same person of ject ofthis extract from the ‘ Judge's. Diary,’ may have been the very subject of the essayist, or story tel- ler, tor certain it is that Mr. Christo- lhe fashion had gone out. Mr. Vance was a real old Eugâ€" lisli gentlemanâ€"«not one of the Old gentleman, with all the courtly muu~ tiers of the early part of the eight‘ eenth century. He had been presented at Court at the first levee given by George the Third, and he had lived to see the Regent walk up Bond street. Slightly the worse. or the better, for claret, arm-iu-urm with Beau Brom- mell and my Lord Pctersham. Mr. Christopher Vance was a gentleman of large fortune at the time when the West'lndies were in a very triumphant condition. and he had retired from that position with very extensive funds. He not only Were a pigtail, but his lower limbs were encased, whenever he went abroad from his hOusc in Clarges street, Piccadilly, in Hessian boots, with a Silk tassel bobbing to and fro in trout of each. .A gold~headcd cane completed the costume Of Mr. Vauceâ€"â€"-onl_v, when he reached the pavement of Bond street, he would generally hold in the other hand his gold suufi‘lbox; RICHIIIOND HILL, FRIDAY, NOVEI‘IBER 15, [861. acquisition of the property of Mr. Vance there can be no doubt what- own. For the space of twenty years-- that is, from the period of her being hired as housekeeper by Mr. Vance when he was sixty years, and quite ‘ active, and proud this Hessian boots and his pigtail, until he was eighty, when he became shanky on those rc- spectable legs, and uncertain in his gait as he went down the steps of his house in Clarges street. Miss Cook" had an eye to the property. and was in an agony of apprehension lest the Old gentleman should die sudden without making a willâ€"In her fu- vour. Often, during the last few years of those twenty, had Miss Cook broached the delicate subject Of a will, but there was an invincible re- puguauce on the part of Old Mr. Vance to the execution of any such instrument; an i one day. when Miss Cook had been more than usually demonstrative about ‘ those rapaci. ous relations, who. as soon as the breath was out of the body of the best of men, would arrive, like vul- tures. to fatten upon his remains,’ the olu gentleman spoke out plainly. ‘ Miss Cook l’ ‘ Dear sir !’ ° I intend to make a will, but not just yet. None of my family die suddenly. It runs in families, that does, and I shall have warning enough. But. to set your mind at ease, Miss Cook, 1 will tell you what you are to have.’ ‘ Oh, dear, sir l’ ‘ Listen to me.’ ‘With all my heart.’ ‘I intend to leave you this free- hold house. and its contents.’ ‘ Oh, sir I’ ‘ That’s all.’ ‘ Old Mr. Vance buttoned up his spencer,which was another eccentric garment 01 past times,which the Old gentleman wore, and tottcred out of the house for his usual morning walk in~Bolid street. In five minutes more Miss COuk had her bonnet on, and, was pro- ceeding at a rapid rate towards Chancery Lane. In a fly-street off the great legal thoroughfare, there resided a Mr. Jeffrey’s, who was an attorney, and who for some irregularities had been politely requested by the Lord Chan- chcllor to retire into private life, so that It] r. Jeffrey's now called himself an ‘ageut ;’ and in the name of an- other solicitor, who had not yet had a similar notification from the Lord Chancellor, but who was in a fair way of getting it, Mr. Jell'reys still practised among a certain set of clients. It was to this man, then, that Miss Cook made her way,for to him had she plighted her maiden troll). Miss Cook, aged fifty-four, still con- sidered that there was a fair pros- pect of Connub‘ial bliss before her, when she should ‘ come into old Vauce’s property,’ as she was in the habit of saying, and marry Mr. Jeffrey's. And Mr. Jeffrey‘s was quite will; log to make Miss Cook Mrs. Jeff- rey's, so soon ‘18 she should ‘come into the property of Old Vance.’ When Miss Cook had then ascer: tamed what Were the intentions Of Old Mr. Vauce,shc went right away to Mr. Jeffreys to hold a consul. tatiou. The result oft'uat consultation Was [he had chr set eyes upon, satisfactory. ‘Persuade the old man to Sign a deed Ofglft to you Of the house and contents at once, but with a clause that it is only to take effect upon his and then, as he took his morning death, and leave the rest to me,’ said Walk, a more respectable specimen of old times, and of the race of old ii‘i‘cVerently called ‘ old than Mr. rely upon having every comfort and attention or anemplefl to be (1098 i0 1"mg .33 regarded his fortune, In early life, had estranged his relation from him.

But an adventure had on that morning happened to old Mr. Chris- topher Vance, such as he nor Miss Cook little anticipated. The old gentleman had gone out as usualâ€"pigtail, Hessian boots, and spcucer, all in grand conditionâ€"and with his gold headed cane in his right hand, and his gold snuff-box in his left, he had made his’ way to the“ sunny side of the way in Bond street, where he was as well known by the shopkeepers as their own Windows There was a stately and yet he- nign aspect about Mr. Christopher Vance whenever he took that morn- ing walk down Bond street. He still believed that it was the height often and of propriety so to dO,aud that to omit it would be to confess to have stepped out ofthe world of fashion. Mr. Vance, then,had got as far as Grafton street, and was about to cross over the way, wheu,ou a door- step Onc door up Grafton street, he saw an Object which caused a sen- sation in his kind, gentle. manly hearL At first, this object might have been taken for a bundle of Old rags. Then that impression might have been corrected as details were studied, and you might see the top, or crown portion. of a head of very beautiful fair hair,- and two small.- thiu white arm's crossed over each other. FurthereXaminatiou would show one Small,uaked foot emerging from beneath the seeming bundle of old rags. In fact,this object which made the Old gentleman pause, was no other than a young girl, almost a child, who, in that sad and apparently for- lorn condition, was sitting huddled up upon the door-step Of the great, grand house in Grafton street. There was no policeman at that period, with his inexorable ‘Move on!’ and the girl might have sat there fOi hours unheededâ€"perhaps she had been Sitting there for hours. Mr. Vance tapped on the pave- ment with his gold-headed cane. The little Wayfarer took no uotice.l Mr. Vance tapped on the lower: step of those on which the child was sitting. ‘ Hem l hoy l’ said Mr. Vance. Then the little creature looked up. Old Mr. Vance did dot know how i both as or why it Was. but there came an Odd feeling in his eyes, and a rising as of something right from his heart to his throat,as he saw the sweetest, gentlestdittlc git lish face he thought him. You must, of Whole 1V0. 155. You are my dear youngest sister Laura come to life again as a little child! Oh, dear! oh. dear!

Youâ€"~y0u-â€"’ . Old Mr. Christopher struck his cane on the pavement, and the child began to be alarmed, and took from her bosom a small folded paper, which, with tears in her eyes, she held out towards Mr. Vance. ‘ Ah, dear sir, do not be angry with me, I pray you, but believe that my name is Laura Vancc.’ ' What is that." ‘Grandma,whcn she went to hea- ven, told me to show this to any- body who would bave compassion on me.’ _ ‘Let me see it.’ ‘ Have you, sir, compassion on me 1' There was such a winning sweet- ness,such a look of beautiful cntrcaty on the face of this poor half-starved child as she littered these words, that the tears could no longer be kept from o’verflov‘viug in the eyes of Mr. Vance. These tears were an eloquent rc- ply to the question of the child, and she at once handed to Mr.- Christo- pher the folded paper. He could only see it in an indis- tinct fashion through the tears, and he had left his spectaclis, too, at home ; but it: managed to read these words :â€"'- ” Will those who have compassion upon the orphan and the destitute help the bearer of this to London. and to discover her grand-uncle.

I g “ PPILLII’ON, Padre, / “Oratory of St. Felice. Marseilles.” Mr. Vance understood it all now. Sixty years seemed to vanish from befOic his eyes in a moment, and memory brought back to him his youngest Sister, Lama, just as she looked, and spoke like this poor or- phan grandchild of his who sat shivering upon this step before him; only that his sister had known no such mercv. It was the soft, large, gentle eyes, the Waving silken hair, and the expression Of the lips, that [brought back to the memory of the 'old man the years of his boyhood. Here, at last, was one object that he could loveâ€"shore Was one bound to him by the tics of consanguinity whom he_could take to his heart. Mr. Vance dropped his gold- bosom], llieaded cane ; he dropped the gold lsnuff-box, and somebody ran off with quickly as they could. Then he stOOpcd and folded that little rag- ged child in his arms, and, as his tears fell upon her face, he oiled out ‘My dear,- my cum dcar,l am Mr. befOre Christopher Vance, and you shall no my own, own child! God bless you The beautiful,moui"uful eyes Were ever and ever l’ fixed upon him, and the little lips opened to utter some sound, but no- thing but a moon made its way : through the pearls of teeth. I ‘ My dcar,’ said Mr. Vance, who, and what, in the name of heaVcn, are you 'l’ ‘ SO coldâ€"40h, so cold 1’ ‘To be sure, you areâ€"to be sure ! Eh? What,cold and hungry, while so many of us have more food and more Warmth than we want! Here, here! Bless me, no! Per- haps she don’t like it!’ } Mr. Vance had Ofiered the girl a pinch of suulfout of his gold box. that being the only refreshment that he had at hand on the moment. ‘No, no I Bless me! Aâ€"a cook- shOp here directly ! No! Break- fast for one! Eh '1 My dear, who are you, and how Old are you, and What is your name I’ ‘I am ten years old,and my name is Laura Vauce.’ If Grafton street had suddenly collapsedâ€"that is, if one side of the way had toppled over towards the other,and that other had met it half- way, Mr. Christopher Vance could not have been more astonished than he was by those few words uttercl by the poor, ragged, famisiied little girl upon the door-step. ‘Your name is Laura Vance 'l’ he cried. ‘Vauccwâ€"Laural NO, no! Yes, it is! You are like her! Oh, heaven have tue‘r‘Cy UpOn us all! Mr. Christopher Vance never had a purer pleasure in his eighty years of experience of the sword than when he felt those little attenuated arms wound about his aeck, and felt the soft, sad face of the orphan child against his own. (To be concluded in our next.) NOT BEYOND THE POWER OF LOVE. Mr. Gough, in one of his recent lectures, proceeded to conl'ute the idea that druukards are so far brutcs as to be beyond the power of Christian love, sayingi ‘No, they are not brutes. I have labored for' eighteen years among them, and I have never found a brute. I have had men to swear at me; I have had a man dance around me as if possessed of a devil, and spit his foam in my face; but I never found a man that Iwouldgive up- It may take a long time to reach his manâ€" hood, but he is not a brute. lthink it is Charles Dickens who says, ‘Away up a great many pairs of Stairs,iu a very remote corner,easily passed by, there is a door, and on that door is written, ‘Womau.’ And so in the heart Of the vilest outcast,away up a great many pairs of stints. in a remote corner,‘casily passed by, there is avdoor upon which Is written, ‘Mau.’ ‘Here is our business-~to find __...â€"- that door. It may take a long time ; but begin and knock. Don’t get tired ; but remember God’s long suffering for us, and keep knocking a long time if need be. Don’t get weary if there is no answer; reâ€" member Him whose locks were wet with the dew. Knock ouâ€"just trv itâ€"you try it ; and just so sure, by and by,- will the quivering lip and startling tear tell you that you have been knocking at the heart Of a man, and not ofa brute. It is beâ€"' cause these poor wretches are men, and not brutes, that we have hopes of them. ‘I once picked up a man in the market-place. They said, ‘He isa bruteâ€"let him alone.’ I took him home With me, and kept the ‘ brute ’ fourteen days and nights through his delirium, and be nearly frigl’iteued my wife out of her wits, one night chasing her all about the house with a boot in his hand. But she recovered her wits,and he recovered his. ‘ He said to‘ me :' ‘You wouldn’t think I had a wife and child, would youl’ I ‘ Well, I shouldn’t.’ ‘I have, andâ€"God bless her little heartâ€"smy little Mary is as pretty a little thing as ever stepped,’ said the ‘brutc.” ‘ I asked, ‘ Who‘s do you live 1’ ‘ Two miles from here 1’ ‘ When did you see them last'l’ ‘ Two years ago.’ ‘Tlicu he told me his sad story. Isaid: ‘You must go back again.’ ‘I can’t go back. My wife is better without me. I have struck her, and, kicked her, and abused her‘. Can I go back again ?’ 'I went with him to his house.â€" I knockch at the door, and his wife opened it.’ ‘ , ‘Is this Mrs. Richardson 1’ ‘Yes, sir.’ ‘Well, that is Mr. Richardson; and,- Mr. Richardson. this is Mrs. Richardson.- Now COLIIC into the‘ liousc.’ ‘ They Went in.- The wife sat On one Side of the room, and the ' brute’ on the other. I waited to see who would speak first, and it was the woman. But before she spoke she fidgcted a good deal.â€" Slie pulled up her apron till she got hold ofa hem, "and then she pulled it all down again. Then she folded it up close and jerked it out tl'irougli her fingers an inch at a time, and then she spread it all down again; and then she. looked all about the room, and said: ‘Well, William.’ ‘ The ‘ brute’ said : ‘ Well Mary.’ ‘ He had a large handkerchief around his neck, and his wife Said 2 ‘ You had better take the handker- chief Off, William; you’ll need it when you go out.’ _ ‘He began to fumble about it; the knot was large enough ; he could have untied it if he liked; but he said: ‘Will you untie it, Mary 1‘ ‘ She worked away at it, but her fingers were too clumsy, tOO, and she could not get it off.’ ‘While thus occupied their eyes met. The lovelight was not all quenched, She opened her arms gently and he fell into them. ‘ If you had seen those white arms clasped about his neck, and be sub: hing on her breast, and the child looking in wonder, first at one and Ilicu at, the other, you would have said : ‘It is not a ‘brute,’ but a man, With a great, big, warm heart in his HINTS 0N MENTAL LABOUR.â€" Thc injurious effects of mental la- bor arc in a great measure owing to excessive forcing in early youth; to sudden or misdirected study; to the cooperation Of depressing emotions or passions; to the no; glcct Of the ordinary rules Of hy- gicuc; to the neglect of the hints of the body; or to the presence of the seeds Of disease, degeneration, and decay in the system.
