THE VISIT OF AN ANGEL, A STORY OF CHRISTMAS EVE. BY WILLIAM H. BUSHNELL." 'It is cold enough to freeze the heart out of a miser and make the white bear dance for joy,' grumbled Tom Orton, #5 hs looked out of the window upon the snow-covered streets. 'How 1 wish I epuld stay at home to-night and take care of you and the babies, Jenny. And I would only for --' He thought of how much poverty was pinching them, and would not saddon the hearts ot those he loved by mentioning it. 'Only for what, Tom ?' asked his wife from bed, where, ill herself, she was taking care of their two sick children, 'Only that they will be wanting me, be replied. 'You know it is Christmas eve, and we've got up an extra ontertainment. 'Yes, Tom, and a sorry day for us now that I am sick and the children wanting medicinoand she would have said 'food,' 'but she could not bear to ~dd another feather's weight to his load--¢'and so much depends upon you.' 'T know,' he replied, hastly brush ing away the moisture from his eyes and trying to conceal his anxiety; ¢ but I am young and strong, Jonny and the winter is nearly over and you'll all be well again. Se ---------------- Sh-- ---- of 'runaway ! runaway 1' and ho felt that life or property, or both are being whirled on to destruction. ¢ Aro you mad ? Do you want to be killed ?* hurridly asked many as they ran to places of safety, and he remained standing upon the curb- stone, He gave no heed to tho warning. IIe had braved death far to often to shrink from- it in any event and most certainly when at such a dis- tance. His eyes were fixed up the street upon a teem of noble bays that were tearing along mad with fright, and surging the sleigh from side~ were running at the top of their speed each striving to outdo the other; straining every nervo-- were running away driverless. Iiad that been all he would not have troubled himself, deep as was his love for blooded steeds, for he was net at that moment particularly ii sympathy with wealth, it was quite another matter that chained him. At the first outcry he had sprung to and half elimbed a lamp-post, and so ottained a clearer view--one that thrilled his heart to the very core, caused his breath to be more deeply drawn and his pulse to mo- mentarily ceaso to beat. In the sleigh was a young and beautiful woman, pale with terror, aad clasping two lovely children to her breast. Orton thought of his Jenney and their little ones, and re- 'Bat, if anthing should happen to you?' she qostioned with a heavy | sigh. "Don't think there is much | danger,' he sid repressing a sob, as | he thought how desperate would be | their situation--ot the rent due of | the scanty store of provisions, the | little of fuel remaining, the more | than month of hard winter before | them, and the need of a family that | a poor man learns by the most | bitter of experiences. ¢ But there is, dear Tom. No one dent.' 'Don't fear T'll take care of my- sélf--won't run any extra risk, anc as I have nothing to do ip the latter part, will be home early.' Ile stepped to the bedside, drew the cover more closly about his wifo and children, kissed them, put more coal in thestove, though every lump was as a golden ducat to a Shylock in his then situation, attended to evervthing possible for their com- | fort, and prepared to face the cold | and go to his nightly employment. Yet an uncommon spell seemed to chain him. Ile lingered, fidged, glanced uneasily at the clock. 'Isa't it time you were off, Tom ?' questioned his wife. is quite a walk.' 'Yes, bui somehow 1 don't feel like leaving you alone.' ' Yon know it | Jeuney, | "Oh, 1 am used staying alone.'-- Soshe was, poor thing! ¢And you said you would be home carly.' 'Yes, yes. An active, sober man was he, and a skilled performer. To had been trained to the profession from child- hood--knew no other, and, under ordinary circumstances, could easily 'keep his head above water." But the 'tenting season' had closed ex ceptionally early, the winter was hard, money was 'tight,' and every place of amusement suffered in con- sequence. To these things were ndded sicknes, and brave hearted as he was he could not suppress a shiver of anxicty as the future star ed him in the face. He pussed along the narrow street, through wore portentiovs ones--passed the houses of million- aires, and entered Broadway. That at least was brilliant and gay as if there was nothing of poverty or human suffering in the world--as if none in the great city were familiar with hunger and eold and sickness --as if there never was to be, an awakening from a golden dream of luxury and pleasure. 'Ab! thoughtless wealth and fashion," he murmured, bitterly, as be saw fur-clad forms, and pamper ed steeds, and richly mounted barness, and gilded sleighs, and costly robes dash along, 'how much yo will have to answer forin the day of final reckoning, for neglect- ing your poor, toiling brothers and sisters." clock in the window told him that, and with a sigh that his wife and little' ones should wot 'have their quota of good things of this world he passed on. Suddenly a confused ery--a wild tumult--the drawing away of teams upon either side, or dashing into cross streets startled him, and he [warned him of his dangor,he stirred is ever safe living the life you do.-- | there are so many chances for acci- | [ bolder than the rest, sprung forward, | But no time had he to linger--the' selved to save. The impulse was noble, but how was it to bo accom- plished? Far beyond any human control were tho frantic horses. To attempt to seize tho reins as they dashed past, and to stop them would bo madness--would be to be dragged down and trampled to death. Ile saw this--saw that the course of the horses would bring them directly upon him, and, though the crowd furiously warned him back and not--only breed muscles and nerves and set his teeth with determination * My God I' exclaimed a man, who, - -- ---- -. dashing around the arena upon a spirited steed 'witching the world with wondrous horsemanship.' The audience applauded to the ocho, and, carried away by the ox- citemont, he rashly determined to execute his most daring acts--those given only upon the greatest oc- casions, fapgetting that the horse he rode had not been trained to them -- was young and wild. The result. was soon painfully ap- parent. Though some were ac- complished ingsafety, yet when he attempted leaping over a banner the fluttering frightened the horse, he boltad suddenly, and Tom Orton waa hurled heavily to the ground | Ife andeavored to rise and make light of pain, but a strange sickness came over him, the lights flickered and grew dim, he gasped for air, and knew nothing more until somewhat revived in the 'dressing room he beard familiar voices. 'Oh God! what will become of Jenny ard the babies ?' he gasped faintly. 'I am done for, and--and --' his tears and sobs choked him. 'Don't foar for them, Tom,' said a dozen hearty voices, and 2s many grasped his hands as could obtain hold, ' we'll see that they are taken care of.' Many senselossly and canselessly condemned the ming and the stage, but in the law of want aud suffering their hearts shine upon the surface, and such charity is shown that none upon earth is brighter. Ah! if all of humanity was as true as tho broth- i er and sisterhood whose lives are given for the amusement and ml struction of others, there would be' far less trial and sufforing in the world. Tt is a charity that lasts be. yond even the sad scenes at the 'Little Church Around Corner,' and is blessed by widow and orphan. 'Thanks, thanks," murmured the injured man. 'But tell worst.' 'A broken log is all that appears serious," answered a gray-headed me the grappled and would have drawn him away. You will be killed ! in | stantly killed I' Tom Orton shook himself off just as tho horses reached him, watched his opportunity, seized upon the har- ness as they were sweeping past, sprung lightly upon the'back of the nearest, grasped tho reins, and, turn- ing to the afirighted woman and! screaming children shouted : 'Keep quiet. I will save yon.' And save them he did. Before a block had been traveled the horses had been made to realize that he was their master, and the sharp curb cutting deeply into their mouths brought them to a stand- still. The crowd cheered lustily--the police ussisted the woman and ¢hild ren out, and carried them into a neighboring store, and, as soon as the former had recovered her senses she asked for her preserver, that she might thank and reward him. But he was not to be found. All that could be learned was, that as soon as the trembling steeds had been taken charge of by others he disap- peared. + Who could he have been ?' ques- tioned the lady, with still-ghastly face and bloodless lips. 'Can't say,' answered a police- man, constituting himself spokes- man ; 'but he was a brave fellow, anyhow. I would not have taken the risk he did for thousands.' "A brave fellow; indeed,' was the response, '1 would have given very much to know his name and where he is to be found.' So would the policeman, that semething of the glory might attach to himself. But the lady departed homeward without obtaining the desired information, and the sensit- iveness ot Tom Orton caused him to lose the one opportunity of his life to have risen above iron~handed poverty. Meanwhile he was hurrying to business. More time had been oc- cupied in the rescue than he thought possible, and though applause was dear to him--as to all--yet he could not stay to listen, and, as for risk- ing his life for money, he had not even dreamed of such a thing. Out of breath, he dashed into the dressing room, and was received with reproof for being late. 'Couldn't help it," he replied. 'I saw a pair of fiery horses running away with a sleigh and a woman and two children--thought of my Jenny and the children, and had to stop and save them.' Ho told this story very brieflyand knew that something unusual was taking place. Then came the shout {didn't seem 10 fancy he had done modestly while getting resdy-- = man--a strange physician who had been summoned. 'Though I ecan- not account for the marks upon your other side, my man.' 'Probably he hurt himself when ho stopped the runaway horses,' was suggested and the story told. 'llumph! A very dangerous business--next to foothardy; not one in ten thousand would have es- caped alive," replied the physician, with pursed lips and flashing eyes. ¢ Well, all that can be done now is to get him home. Then I will make a more minute examination{' Very tenderly was the noble- hearted fellow taken to his humble abode, and the scene, when he was laid upon the bed, "side by side with his sick wife and children, caused jovery eye to overflow with fears, + Tom, dear Tom.' said Jenny, as well as she could for her pitiful sob- bings, 'what will become of us--ot the children? We shall all starve and dio together,' Not while we have hands,' replied his associates, and every heart was touched and every arm was nerved to do the utmost toward relief. They all looked around anxiously for the physician--had supposed he bad accompanied them. But he was not to be seen, and their grumbling became loud and deep. '1 can bear anything,' said Tom, ' but for you, Jenny, and the child- ren,' and he entirely broke down. 'And I could curse that doctor for an unfeeling wretch,' blurted out ove of the passionate. 'Bat it is ever thus. We give our lives freely to please the public, and when any- thing bappens they care nothing for us. Tom Orton groaned heavily, The sound awoke his little girl. She raised up in bed, strained her eyes, clasped her tiny hands and shouted in true childish glee and wonler: 'Mamma ! Papa! See angel I' Alleyes were turned in the direc: tion she pointed, and tho doorway stood u beautiful woman, leaning up on thearm of the physician | Yes, an angle hard came then.-- Tom Orton had risked his life to save that of the daughter of Dr. Armit- age and his grandehild, and the mearest chanco had given them the knowledge who it was. But never was su eguestrain feat better rewarded, and never a more charitabie an, peared upon the earth even upon the day when alike from hill .top and valley is proclaim. ed: ' Peace upon earth and good will to men.' $ anything wonderful snd soon was Ee ES ---------- each other. Tn 1837 the conduct of Russia in conncetion with the Pers- ian siege of Herat excited an uneasy feeling in the minds of the Indian English Government, and Burns was sent by the Gevernor General as resident of the Amer's Court at - Cabul. Dost Mahammed and the English disagreed upon terms, and the English determined to re estab- lish Shah Shuja, who bad long been a refugee in British Territory. The king of the Punjanb pledged his co- operation, but afterward refused the English permision to cross his terri- tory. The army of the Indus numbered 21,000. They assembled at Upper Sind in March., 1838, and advanced under the command of Sir Jonn Kean. They met with little opposi= tion but suffered great hardships.-- The Kahn of Kandabar fled to Pert sia, and in April 1839, the city was occupied; and Shah Shuja and his English allies continued their vic- torions march, - and finally Dost Mohammed ard his army being completely vanquished, they entered the capital. The war was thought to be at an end. Sir John Keane, who was made a peer, returned to India with a large part of his force, leaving behind, besides the Shah's force, 8,000 men. Sir W. Mcnaugh- ton remained as envoy, and Sir A. Burnes as his colleague. Dght Mohammed surrendered in Ndvember, 1840, and was sent to India, Shah Shuja and his allies re- mained in possession of Cabul, and Kandahar two years. Meantime, insurrections against tho new gov- ernment were frequent, but the authorities, confident of their own strength; paid little or no heed to warnings. Nov. 2, 1841, a violent revolt broke out in Cabul and Burns and other officers were massacred -- The commander of the British arny Gen. Elphinston, was shattered in health, and in a poor condition to direct resistance to such a host|of of maddened men. Besides, the position of the British camp, its cof. nection with the citadel, and te locy- tion of tho stores is the worst poss. ible. Disasater followed disaster. After the capture of Dost Mohom- med, his son, Akbor Khan, took the lead. With him a conference was arranged for the 23rd of December, at which the envoy, Macnaughton, was foully murdered by Akbar's own band, and with a ball trom a pistol which Macnanghton had presented him with only the day before. The naked and mutilated body of the envoy was dragged through the bazar, and tor days exposed to the view of the rabble. At the same time Mucnaughton was killed, the chiets with Akbar made an attack upon the staff of the envoy and nearly all of them were cut down.-- The scuflle was seen from the Eng- lish eamp, and those who escaped reported the murder Elphin- stone was solicited to attack at once and destroy the city He enly secured a small quantity ot grain, and this after hard fighting. In ashort time, however, Elphin- stone, whose force had been much reduced by the departure of several regiments to secure communication with the Kyber, saw that something must be done. Snow had began to fall and tood was scarce. Fires and fighting oceurred every night and during the day. Instead of fighting like a soldier, he opened negotiate ions with Akbur. Tue terms finally agreed upon were most disgraceful. Ouly the ill-health ot Elphinstone can account for such evident imbe- cility. The army after handing over its treasure, was to be permit. ted to retreat unmolested on con- ition of never returning, and of forwarding a certain sum of money trom India. That army was never given an opportunivy to return. For the fulfilment of the terms, the women. and children were banded over to Akbar, Tae retreat began, How many there were isnot known.
