TEE BURGLARY* AT THE MEADOWS. 
The household at the Meadows — a lonely 
place, everywhere surrounded with low, salt 
marshes, the mansion itself standing on a knoll 
aud approached by a causeway of a mile in 
length, so handsomely shaded with elms as 
to be worthy of the dignified appellation of an 
avenne— tho household at the Meadows was 
one night rudely disturbed from its slumbers 
by an alarm of burglary. One of tho children, 
waking from some mince-pie nightmare or 
other, heard a most singular sound; and creep¬ 
ing to the bedside of Katy Small, their nurse, a 
little white phantom- before her, pawed her 
into a terrified wakefulness. But after her first 
glance she, too, detected the stifled sound, and, 
seizing the matter at once, wrapped a blanket 
round her and flew to the door of her mistress’ 
sleeping-room, in such a shaking fright that she 
could not command her voice, even had she not 
feared being overheard by the thieves. “Oh, 
ma’am! —Ob, Mr. Grey!" was what slid 
through the key-hole, accompanied by a flutter 
of timid taps, till Mr. Grey began to dream of a 
moth battering aboutthc window-pane suddenly 
endowed with voice and calling him by name, 
and till at his hurried, half-awake uprisal, as she 
made.hold to turn the handle of the door, Katy 
turned and fled. Then Mr. Grey also heard the 
sound, and thrusting himself into part of his 
clothes, stepped out on the soft carpet of the 
upper hall and listened. 
This sound, to which all under the roof were 
now aroused, was a soft, slow, griding, sliding 
one, as if with their delicate and muffled instru¬ 
ments the burglars were sawing the bolt of the 
great lock upon the front door. Now and then 
some slight scraping of the panel took place; 
now and then there was a step upon the low, 
sunken stone; now and then the handle of the 
lock rung at a faint touch; now and then all 
gave way to something like a singular whis¬ 
pering. 
It was well known that, much valuable plate 
was always in use at the Meadows, for it was a 
hospitable plaee, with a round of guests and 
dinner-parties and suppers. Just to-night, of 
all nights in the year, there was no one at. home 
hut the family; and, owing to some whim of the 
ancient architect and owner, the apartments of 
the house-keeper and of a majority ot the ser¬ 
vants were in a separate building. Mr. Grey, 
however, was a host in himself, and he desired 
no help, unless he should become disabled in tho 
combat that seemed imminent, in which event 
either Katy Small or one of the two chamber¬ 
maids would open the other door for his adher¬ 
ents' to come to the rescue of his wife and 
children. But what if the burglars were some 
of those adherents themselves? The thought 
was like a cold chill. Yet —no; the singular 
Whispers which seemed to he those of Eoinc for¬ 
eign language, dispelled 6uch an idea; moreover, 
their fidelity and attachment to himself, the most 
indulgent and considerate of employers, were 
proverbial.; g 
Meantime the work was progressing. While 
he listened they might at any moment burst open 
the door and he be found defenseless. Defense¬ 
less ho certainly was at that moment; for, 
though a master of the noble British art, fists 
would be of small service against the mace or 
mallet of a house - breaker, and all his guns 
were down iu the shallow closet on the other 
side of the front door, so that it would be almost 
impossible for him to reach them without being 
geen. Finally, however, with one hand upon 
the railing of the baluster, he noiselessly slipped 
down, possessed himself in the dark of Ids best 
rifle, aud of sufficient ammunition for a siege, 
and returned balf'-way^up the staircase, where, 
seating himself, he coolly made his prepara¬ 
tions—made them somewhat slowly, as he could 
scarcely see his hand before him, loading the 
rifle with a charge of small shot, determined, 
the moment the door gave way, to pepper the 
villains roundly with a hall for every bone in 
their bodies. 
During this work, Katy Small, with the trem¬ 
bling help of one of tho chamber-maids, had 
dressed the children even to their hats and 
water-proofs, and lmd furthermore tied the 
blankets and coverlets together in along knot¬ 
ted rope, as a possible means of exit, from the 
back way should the robbers succeed in entering 
at the front. The other chamber-maid had taken 
the occasion as an opportunity for exhibiting 
her accomplishments, and had fallen from one 
fainting fit into another faster than Mrs. Grey 
could bring her out of them. Mrs. Grey herself, 
a woman of Southern birth, was no more ac¬ 
quainted willi fear than her husband was, and 
she had raised her head from her pillow full of 
fight.. Ab she saw him hitting on the stair now, 
tinkeriug with his rifle, she was tired with impa¬ 
tience, she longed to have him go down, fling 
open the door, and blaze away at the assailants 
with such a volley as would put them to terrible 
rout aud confusion; there was to be indiscrimi¬ 
nate slaughter on the grass outside the door, 
after which the maimed miscreants were to be 
taken into shelter, tbc house turned into a hos¬ 
pital, and themselves nursed back to health and 
virtue by the inhabitants. But this was not the 
way to do it, sitting waiting for them, instead 
of dashing down, taking the war into Africa and 
converting the attack into defense. It seemed 
almost craven to Mrs. Grey, this culm delay. If 
she had only ever learned how to handle a gun 
herself she would pass him and teach him a les¬ 
son, woman as she was ; but as the ease stood, 
6uch conduct on her part might result in her 
being the only injured one herself of all the 
parties concerned, and add to the general dis¬ 
turbance disastrously. So she left the chamber¬ 
maid to her swooning, and stood at tkc head of 
the stairs a white shadow herself, urging her 
husband, another shadow, to descend and en¬ 
gage the villains, even forgetting caution, and 
raising her voice above (be slow and interrupted 
grinding and grating on the panel as she spurred 
him on. 
But. when Mr. Grey had crossed the hall to the 
gun-closet he had given his attention to the door, 
you may ho sure, in passing. And there, dimly 
to be detected in the darkness ol‘ the soft, hazy, 
summer night, he was perfectly sure that he saw 
through the plate-glass side light the darker out¬ 
line. of a pair of legs, the legs of the man who 
stood there at work so quietly, so skillfully, 
upon the lock; then be heard steps upon the 
turf, and at the other side light saw again the 
same, If, then, he could thus see two of the 
plunderers, there could scarcely be less than 
half a dozen of them in all, and for one man to 
go down and meet a whole band of such despe¬ 
rate creatures was mere bravado. Moreover, by 
remaining where he was lie had the clear advant¬ 
age of a garrison, and aa they secured entrance 
could pop them over, one alter another, like so 
many plump partridges. 
There was never any loud outside stir, by day 
or night, to he heard at the Meadows; there 
was nothing but the flap of an eagle’s wings, the 
swath of the mowers* scythes, the warble of the 
bobolink in the morning, the scream of a night- 
hawk, the hum of insects in the evening—these 
mere sounds of nature that always make asso¬ 
nance with the scene aronnd them, and leave 
the silence more profound. Mr. Grey had 
never been so sensible of this as now, while sit¬ 
ting on the stair; no other noise in all the region 
round could he detect than this little grate upon 
the door, this tap upon the lock, this step upon 
the turf, this strange, rough whisper—it made 
the desolation of the place strike him with a 
kind of awe; he knew that haze wrapped the 
knoll itself, that, all below and around it, was waist 
deep In soft, cool, white vapor, an airy cloudy 
sea in which ery or murmur would at any dis¬ 
tance fall eqnally dull and dead; there were not 
even enough star beams sifted into the haze 
about them for him to discern his assailants 
when they should have flung open the door and 
confronted him. To obviate this difficulty, 
Mrs. Grey, trying hard to curb her battalious 
spirit, waited with match and wiek behind him, 
ready at the appointed moment (o blaze away on 
her part. The enjoyment which Mrs. Grey an¬ 
ticipated from the fierce scratch she was to give 
with that lucifor-match on the unoffending wood¬ 
work, much more than equaled all that her hus¬ 
band looked forward to from his trusty rifle. 
To a person of Mr. Grey’s temperament, oucc 
being fully awakened from sleep, there would 
Lave been something delicious iu watching this 
slow, soundless lapse of a summer night; but 
the circumstances of danger and desolation, the 
suspense, the peradventure, gradually made the 
delay intolerable. And through it all the time 
there continued that slow, low, cautious, inter¬ 
mittent sawing, that tap upon the. handle of the 
lock, that scratch of the panel, those steps about 
the turf, those whisperings in the long, rank, 
succulent grass that grew all round the low 
door-stone and close up to the threshold. Why 
they were so long about the business was more 
than Mr. Grey could conjecture. 
“Well, well,” said Mrs. Grey, her patience 
worn out, “there is no use In my sitting here¬ 
with a match and a modcrateur " — which last, 
though it was the name of the lamp she held, 
was intended for a sly hit at. her husband. “ These 
doughty knights of the latch-key will effect an 
entrance at tills rate by the time we hear the 
sunrise India ring Irom town. I will leave you 
to watch them carefully till then; and, for my 
part, I shall go to bed I " And she was about to 
withdraw, first taking a look at the little hud¬ 
dled group ol frightened children fallen half 
asleep between Katy Small and the chamber¬ 
maids. 
This, at last, was more than Mr. Grey could 
bear, or else bia own patience was exhausted. 
So, eager for the fray, let her have it! lie 
sprang down the stairway, grasping his rifle 
surely; Mrs. Grey blazed away with her lump 
and followed him; he threw back the bolts, 
flung open the door, and there, standing across 
the low, narrow stone, was a great dun ox, pla¬ 
cidly feeding on (he rich, sweet, juicy grass that 
grew so rankly tlu-re, the nibble of his tooth, 
and the swish of his tail as he brushed away the 
setting night-fly, making a strange, whispering 
sound, and bis brass-tipped horn tapping now 
upon the lock of the door, now grating on the 
side post—a mild, contented creature that stared 
round, largo-eyed, at tho sudden splendor that 
streamed over him from the open door-way, 
whisked his tail, tossed up his heels, aud put 
down his head, wheeled about, and darted - 11' 
into the shadow. 
“Ah, how did you dare," said a young ac¬ 
quaintance, to whom Mrs. Grey was laughingly 
relating the occurrence next, day, “to urge Mr. 
Grey to go down and meet them? It makes 
me shiver' I should have brought every valua¬ 
ble in the house and set them out on tables 
directly before the front door that they might 
take our money and leave our lives.” 
“ Precisely! ” said Mr. Grey, proudly. “That 
is the difference between you and a Southern 
woman, my little friend ! ” 
“If you mean," retorted the little friend, 
indignantly, “that I should value my husband’s 
safety more than my jewels and silver—it cer¬ 
tainly Is tho difference!" 
“Ah, I cry you tucrey! ’’ pleaded Mr. Grey, 
repentantly. “Latitude hardly alters human 
nature, I confess. At the equator or at the 
poles, equally, womankind are all as faithful 
ns—it is in their power to be! A chaque sainte 
sa chanddk /”

A man who avoids matrimony on account of 
the cares of wedded life, is compared to one who 
would amputate his leg to save his toes from 
corns. 
“I see the villiau in your face,” said a judge 
to an Irish prisoner. “Shure, your lordship’s 
rivircncc won t be afther making a personal re¬ 
flection of a phour boy!” said Pat. 
“ Mv dear,” said an Irish gentleman to his 
wife, “ I would rather the children were kept in 
the nursery wht n T urn at home, although I do 
not object to tneir noise If they'd only be quiet." 
A young lady objected to a negro’s carrying 
her across a mud hole because she thought her¬ 
self too heavy. “Lor’s, missus,” said Sambo, 
imploringly, “ l.’se carried whole barrels of 
sugar.” 
A down East Yankee, seeiug an alligator for 
the first time on the Mississippi, with liis mouth 
opeu, exclaimed, “Wall, he aint what you may 
call a handsome critter, but he’s got a deal of 
openness when ho smiles.” 
Booth, the tragedian, had a broken nose. A 
lady once remarked to llim, “1 like your acting, 
Mr. Booth; but,, to be frank with you, I can’t 
get over your nose.” “No wonder, madam,” 
replied he, “ the bridge is gone.” 
“ It seems to mo I have seen your physiogno¬ 
my somewhere before,” said a swell to a stranger 
whom lie met H.vj other day; “but I cannot 
imagine where.” Very likely,” replied the 
other:—“ 1 have been the keeper of a prison for 
the last twenty years.” 
Charles Mathews, seated on a coach-box on 
a frosty day, waiting for the driver, said to him 
when he at length appeared, “Ifyou stand here 
much longer, Mr. Coachman, your horses will 
be like Captain Parry’s ships.” “How’s that, 
sir?" lie asked. “Why, frozen at the pole!” 
replied Mathews. 
In a Scotch town lately, a man from the coun¬ 
try applied to a respectable lawyer for legal ad¬ 
vice. After detailing the circumstances of the 
ease, he was a- ked if lie had stated tho tacts ex¬ 
actly as they occurred. “On, ay, sir,” rejoined 
the applicant, “ 1 thought it best to tell you the 
plain truth; you can put the lees tiirtyoursel’.” 
It is related that when a former Bishop of 
Bristol held the office of Vice-Chancellor of the 
University of Cambridge, he one day met a 
couple of under graduates who neglected to pay 
the accustomed compliment of capping. The 
Bishop inquired the reason of the neglect. The 
two men begged his lordship's pardon, observ¬ 
ing they were freshmen and did not know him. 
“How long have you been in Cambridge?” he 
asked. “Only eight days,” was the reply. 
“ Very good,” said the Bishop, “ puppies never 
see till they are nine days old.”
