POETRY. AN EVENING BRAVER. \Tired and going to repose, Botb my little eyes I close: father, let those eyes ef. thine Be above this bed of mine. Let my friends, Lord, far and near, Rest within thy hands so dear. Little ones, as well as large, Take into thy holy charge. Send to side hearts peaceful sleep; Kindly close the eyes that weep; Let the moon high in the sky see the world in stillness He. If I have done wrong to-day, 0 God, forgive the sin, I pray! f By thy grace in Jesus' blood, Every trouble is made good.\ The Three Strangers. BT THOMAS HASDY. [CONCLUDED FROM LAST WBEK.] \Why should you do this?\ she said reproachfully, as soon as they were alone. \He's emptied it once, though it Held enough for ten people; and now he's not contented wi' the small, but must needs call for more o' the strongl And a stranger unbeknown to any of us. For my part I don'c like the look o'the man at all.\ \But Ite's in the house, my honey; and 'tis a wet night, and a christening. Daw it, what's a cup of mead more or less? There'll be plenty more nextbee- tournlng.\ \Very well—this time, then,\ she an- swered, looking wistfully at the barrel. \But what is the man's calling, and where is he one of, that he should come in and join us like this' 1 \ \I don't know. I'll ask him again.\ The catastrophe of having the mug drained dry at one pull by the stranger to cinder-gray was effectually guarded against this time by Mrs. Fennel. She pourd out his allowance in a small cup, Keeping the large one at a discreet dis- tance from him. When he had tossed off his portion the shepherd renewed Ills inquiry about the stranger's occupa- tion* The latter did not immediately reply, and the man in the chimney-corner, with sudden demonstrativeness, said: \Anybody may know my trade—I'm a wheelright.\ \A very good trade for these parts,\ said the shepherd. \And anybody may know mine—if • they've the sense to find it out,\ said Vbe stranger in cinder-gray, \You may generally tell what a man isfcy his claws,\ observed the hedge- earpenter, looking at his hands. \My fingers be as full of thorns as an old The hands of the man in the chimney- corner instinctively sought the shade, \\\• *~~ gazed into the fire as he resum- , Jpe . The man at the table took ifc hedge-carpenter's remark, and 1 smartly: \True; but the oddity y trade is that, instead of setting a _. K upon me, it sets a mark upon my customers.\ £• , JTo observation being offered by any- body In elucidation of this enigma, the shepherd's wife once more called for a aong. The same obstacles presented themselves as at the former time—one had no voice, another had forgotten the first verse. The stranger at the table, whose soul had now risen to a good working temperature, relieved the diffi- «^lty— he would sing himself. Thrust- ing «ne thumb into the arm-hole of his waistcoat, he waved the other hand in toe air, and, with and extemporizing gaze at the shining sheep-crooks above ftie mantelpiece, began; Oh, my trade it is the rarest one, Simple shepherds all— My trade is a sight to see; Por my customers I tie, and take them up on high, And waft 'em to a far oountree. The room was quiet when he had finished the verse—with one exception, that of the man in the chimney-corner, who, at the singer's word. '\Chorus!\ joined him in a deep bass voice of mu- sical relish- And waft them to a far eouutree. Oliver Giles, John Pitcher, the dairy- man, the parish clerk, the engaged man of fifty, the row of young women against the wall, seemed lost in thought not of the gayest kind. The shepherd looked meditatively on the ground, the shepherdess gazed keenly at the singer, ana with some suspicion; she was doubt- . fag, whether this stranger was merely singing an old song from recollection, •rwas composing one there and then for the occasion. All were as perplex- ed at the obscure revelation as the guests at Belshazzar's feast, except the man in the chimney-corner, who quiet- ly said. \Second verse, stranger,\ and smoked on. The singer thoroughly moistened him- self from his lips inward, and went on with the next stanza as requested: My tools are not common ones, Simple shepherds all, My tools are no sight to see; A little hempen string, and a post whero* on to swing, Are Implements enough for me. Shepherd Fennel glanced round. There was no longer any doubt that the stranger was answering his question Aytbmically. The guests one and all started back with suppressed exclama- ttons. The young woman engaged to the man of 50 faulted half away, and would have proceeded, but finding him wanting in alacrity for catching her she sat down trembling. \Oh he's the—!\ whispered the e o d Tis to be at Cas jail to-morrow—the man for _ . jling—the poor clock-maker we __ of, who used to live away at Anglebury and had no- work to do— Timothy Sommers, whose family were a-starving, and so he went outof Angle- bury by the high road, and took a sheep in open daylight, defying the farmer and the farmer's wife and the farmer's man, and every man jack among 'em. He\ (and they nodded toward the stranger of the terrible trade) \is come »p the country to do it, because there's not enough to do in his own county town, and he's got the place here, now •ur own county man's dead; he's going • to live in the same cottage under the prison wall.\ The stranger in cinder-gray took no notice of this whispered string of ob- servations, but again wetted his lips. Seeing that his friend in the chimney- , corner was the only one who recipro- eated his jovialty in any way he held out his cup toward that appreciative com- rade, who also held out his own. They ©linked together, the eyes of the rest of the room hanging upon the singer's actions. He parted his lips for the third verse, but at that moment another knock was audible upon the door. This time the knock was faint and hesitat- ing- Ihe company seemed scared; the shepherd looked with consternation to- ward the entrance, and it was with some effort that he resisted his alarmed wife's deprecatory glance, and uttered for the _ third time tho welcoming words. \Walk in!\ The door was gently opened, and an- other man stood upon the mat. He like those who had preceded him, was a stranger. This time it was a short, small personage, of fair complexion, and dressed in 4 decent suit of dark clothes. M \Can yon telfibe the way to V\ he began, when, H*|ng round the room to observe the nature of the company among whom he had fallen, his eyes lighted on the stranger in cinder-gray. It was just at the instant when the lat- ter, who had thrown his mind into his song with such a will that he scarcely heeded the interruption, silenced all whispers and inquiries by bursting into his third verse: To-morrow in my working day, Simple shepherds all- To-morrow is a working day for me; v'or the farmer's sheep is slain, and the lad who did it ta'en. The stranger in the chimuey-comer waving cups with the singer so hearti- ly that his mead splashed over on the hearth, repeated in his bass voice as be- fore: And on his soul may God ha' mercy I All this time the third stranger had been standing in the doorway. Find- ing now that he did not come forward or go on speaking, the guests particu- larly regarded him. They noticed to their, surprise that he stood before them the picture of abject terror his knees trembling, his hands shaking so violent- ly that the doorlatch by which he sup* ported himself rattled audibly; his white lips were parted, and his eyes fixed on the merry officer of justice in the mid- dle of the room. A moment more and he had turned, closed the door, and fled. \What a man can it beV'said the shepherd. The rest, between the aw- f ulness of their late discovery and the odd conduct of this third visitor, looked as if they knew not what to think and said nothing, Instinctively they with- drew further and further from the grim gentleman in the midst, whom some of them seemed to take for the prince of darkness himself, till they formed a re- mote circle, an empty space of floor be- ing left between them and him— circulus cuius centrum diabolus. The room was so silent—though there were more than twenty people in it— that nothing could be heard*but the patter of the rain against the window- shutters, accompanied by the occasion- al hiss of a stray drop that fell down the chimney into the fire, and the steady puffing of the man in the corner, who had now resumed his pipe of long clay. The stillness was unexpectedly brok- en. The distant sound of a gun rever- berated through the air—apparently from the direction of the country-town; \Be jiggered!\ cried the stranger who had sungftie song, jumping up. \What does that mean?'' asked sev- *ral. \A prisoner escaped from the jail- that is what it means.\ All listened. The sound was repeated, and none of them spoke but the man in the chimney-corner, who said quietly, \I've often been told that in this county they fire a gun at such times; but I never fceard it till now.\ \1 wonder if it is my man?\ murmur- ed the personage in cinder-gray. \Surely it isl\ said the \shepherd in- voluntarily. \And surely we've seen aim! That little man who looked in at the door by now, and quivered like a leaf when he seed ye and heard your song.\ \His teeth chattered, and the breath went out of his body,\ said the dairy- man. \And his heart seemed to sink with- in him like a stone,\ said Oliver Giles. \And he bolted as if he'd been shot at,\ said the hedge-carpenter. \True—his teeth chattered, and his leart seemed to sink, and lie bolted as if he'd been shot at,\ slowly summed jp the man in the chimney-corner. \I didn't notice it,\ remarked grim songster. \We were all a-wondering what made him run off in such a fright,\ faltered one of the women against the wall, \and now 'tis explained.\ The firing of the alarm-gun went on at intervals, low and sullenly, and their suspicions - became a cwtamty. The sinister gentleman in cinder-gray roused himself. \Is there a constable here?\ he asked in thick tones. \If so, let him step forward.\ The engaged man of 60 stepped quiv- ering out ot the corner, his betrothed beginning to sob on tho back of the chair. \Youare a sworn constable?\ \I be, sir.\ \Then pursue the criminal at once, with assistance, and bring him back here. He can't have gone far.\ \I will, sir, 1 will—when I've go1 staff. I'll go home and get it, the part of the coomb. They had decided on no particular plan of action; and finding that the man of the baleful trade was no longer in their company, they seemed quite unable to form any such plan now. They descended in all di- rections down the hill, and straightway several of the party fell into the snare set by nature for all misguided mid- night rambles over the lower cretaceous formation. The \lynchets or flint slopes, whicjh belted the escarpment at intervals of a dozen yards, took the less cautious ones unawares,and losing their footing on the rubbly steep, they slid sharply downward, the lanterns rollinp from their hands to the bottom, anu there lying on their sides till the horn was scorched through. When they had again gathered themselves together, the shepherd, as the man who knew the country best, took the lead, and guided them round these treacherous inclines. The-lantems, which seemed rather to dazzle their eyes and warn the fugitive than to assist them in the exploration, were extinguished, due silence was ob- served, and in this more rational order they plunged into the vale. It was a grassy, briaiy, moist channel, affording some shelter to any person who had sought it; but the party perambulated, it in vain, aud ascended on the other side. Here they wandered apart, and after an interval closed together again to report progress. At the second time of closing in they found themselves near a lonely oak, the single tree on this part ot the upland, probably sown there >y a passing bird some hundred years before. And here, standing a little to one side of the trunk, as motionless as the trunk itself, appeared the man they were in quest of, his outline being well defined against the sky beyond. The band noiselessly drew up and faced him. \Your money or your life!\ said the constable sternly to the still-figure. \JNTO no,\ whispered John Pitcher. \'Tisn't our side ought to say that. That's the doctrine of vagabonds like him, and we be on the side of the law.\ \Well well,\ replied the constable impatiently; \I must say something, mustn't I? and if you had all the weight A' tliici iTnf\ovti\\ri'n<T nnnn vrmr minH ot my giveive thoii; larp here, and start in a body.\ \Staff! Never mind your staff; the man'11 be gone!\ ; \But I can't d,o nothing without my staff—can I, William, and John, and Charles Jake? No; for there's the king's royal crown a painted on en in yaller and gold, and the lion and the •unicorn, so as when I raise en up and hit my prisoner, 'tis made a lawful blow thereby. I wouldn't 'tempt to take up a man without my staff—no, not I. If I hadn't the law to gie me courage, why, instead o' my taking him up he might takeupmel\ \Now I'm a king's man myself, and can give you authority enough foi this,\ said the formidable person in cinder-gray. \Now then, all of ye, b*> ready. Have ye any lanterns?\ \Yes—have ye any lanterns?—I de- mand it,\ said the constable. \And the rest of you able-bodied—\ \Able-bodied men—yes—the rest oi ye,\ said the constable. \Have you some- good stout staves andpitchrork3 \ \Slaves and pitchforks—in the name o' the law. And take 'em in yer hands, and go in quest, and do as we in au- thority tell ye.\ • Thus aroused, the man prepared to chase. The evidence was, indeed, lough circumstantial, so convincinj that but little argument was needed I show the shepherd's guests that after what they had seen it would look very much like connivance if they did not instantly pursue the unhappy third str anger, who could not as yet have gone more than a few hundred yards over such uneven country. A shepherd is always well provided with lanterns, and, lighting these hasti- ly, and with hurdle-staves in their hands, they poured out of the door, taking a direction along the crest of the hill, away from the town, the rain hav- ing fortunately a little abated. Disturbed by the noise, or possibly by unpleasant dreams of her baptism, the child who had been christened be- gan to cry heartbrokenly in the room overhead. These notes of grief came down through the chinks of the floor to the ears or the women below, who jumped up one by one, and seemed glad of the excuse to ascend and comfort the baby, for the incidents of the last half hour greatly oppressed them. Thus in the space of two or three minutes the room on the ground-floor was deserted quite. But it was not for long. Hardly had the sound of footsteps died away when a man returned round the corner of the house from Hie direction the pursuers had trken, Peeping in at the door and seeinti nobody there he entered leisure- ly. It was the stranger of the chimney- corner, who had gone out with the rest. The motive of his return was shown by his helping himself to a cut piece of skimmer-cake that lay on a ledge be- side where he had sat, and which he had apparently forgotten to take with him. He also poured out half a cup more from the quantity that remained, ravenously eating and drinking these as he stood. He had cot finished when another figure came in just as quietly— the stranger in cinder-grav. \Oh—you here?\ said the latter, smiling. \I thought you had gone to help in the capture.\ And this speaker also revealed the object of his return by looking solicitously round'for the fas- cmating mug of old mead. \And I thought you had gone,\ said the other, continuing his skimmer-cake with some effort. \Well on second thoughts, I felt there were enough without me,\ said the first confidentially, u and such a night as it is, too. Besides, it is the business o' the government to take care of its cri minals—not m i mv' \True; so it is. And I felt as you did, that there were enough without me.\ \I don't want to break my limbs run- ning over the lumps and hollows of this wild country.\ \Nor I neither, between you and me.\ \These shepherd people are used to it —simpleminded souls, you know, stir- red up to anything in a moment. They'll have him ready for me before the morning, and no trouble to me at all.\ \They'll have him, and we shall have saved ourselves all labor in the matter.\ \True true. Well, my way is to Cas- terbridge; and 'tis as much as my legs will do to take me that far. Going the same way?\ \No I am sorry to say. I have to get home over there\ (he nodded indefinite- ly to the right) \and I feel as you do, that it is quite enough for my legs to do before bedtime.\ The other had by this time finished the mead in the mug, after which, shak- ing hands at the door, and wishing each other well, they, went their several ways. I ays. In the meantime the company of pur- ers had reached the end of the hog's back elevation which dominated thi t f h b Th d id risoner at the bar, surrender, in th ame of the Fath—the crown, I mane! The man under the tree seemed now to notice them for the first time, and, giving them no opportunity whatever for exhibiting their courage, he strolled slowly toward them, He was, indeed, the little man, the third stranger; but his trepidation had in a great measure gone, \Well travelers,\ he said, \didl hear ye speak to me?\ \You did; you've got to come and be our prisoner at once,\ said the con- stable. \We arrest you on the charge of not biding in Casterbridge jail in a decent, proper manner, to be hung to- morrow morning. Neighbors, do your luty, and seize the culprit!\ On hearing the charge, the man seem- ed enlightened, and, saying not another word, resigned himself with preternat- ural civility to the search-party, who, with their hands, surrounded him on all sides, and marched him back to- ward the shepherd's cottage. It was 11 o'clock by the time they arrived. The light shining from the open door, a sound of men's voices within pro- claimed to them as they approached the house that some new events had arisen in their absence. On entering they dis- covered the shepherd's living-room to be invaded by two officers from Cas- terbridge jail and a well-known magis- trate who lived at the nearest county seat, intelligence of the escape having become generally circulated. \Gentlemen said the constable, \I have brought back your man; but every one must do his duty. He is inside this circle of able-bodied persons, who have lent me useful aid, considering their ig- nor-ance of crown work. Men, bring forward your prisoner.\ And the third stranger was led to the light. \Who is this?\ said one of tke offi- cials. 'The man,\ said the constable. 'Certainly not,\ said the other turn- key; and the first corroborated his state- ment. \But how can it be otherwise?\ asked the constable. \Or why was he so ter- rified at sight o' the singing instrument of the law?\ Here he related the Btrange behavior of the third stranger on entering the house. \Can't urfderstand it,\ said the officer coolly. \All I know is that it is not the condemned man. He's quite a differ- ent character from this one; a gauntish fellow, with dark hair and eyes, rather igasy \Why souls—'twas the man in the chimney-corner!\ \Hey—what?\ said the magistrate, coming forward after inquiring particu- lars from the shepherd in the back- ground. \Haven't you got the man after all?\ \Well sir,\ said the constable, \he's the man we were in search of that's true; and yet he's not the man we were in search of. For the man we were in search of was not the man we wanted, sir, if you understand my everyday way; for 'twas the man in the chimney-cor- ner.\ \A pretty kettle of fish altogether!\ said the magistrate. \You had better >tart for the other man at once.\ The prisoner now spoke for the first time. The mention of the man in the chimney-corner seemed to have moved him as nothing else could do. \Sir he said, stepping forward to the magis- trate, \take no more trouble about me. The time is come when I may as we speak. I have done nothing; my criu is that the condemned man is mybroth- r. Early this afternoon I left home at .._ _ lighted, and called here to rest and ask the way. When I opened the door I saw before me the very man, my brother, that I thought to see in the condemned cell at Casterbridge. He was in this chimney-corner, and jam- med close to him, so that he could not have got out if tie tried, was the exe- cutioner who'd come to take his life, singing a song about it and not know- ing that it was his victim who was close by, joining in to save appearances. My brother looked a glance of agony at me, and I knew he meant. 'Don't reveal what you see; my life depends on it.' I was so terror-struck that I could hardly stand, and, not knowing what I did, I turned and hurried away.\ The narrator's manner and tone had the stamp of truth, and his story made a great impression on all around.\ \And do you know where your brother is at present?\ asked the magistrate. \I do not. I have never seen him since I closed this door.\ \I can testify to that, for we've been between ye ever since,\ said ilie con- stable. ''Where does he think to fly to?—what is his occupation\: 1 '' \He's a watch and clock maker, sir.\ \'A said 'a was a wheelwright—a wicked rogue,\ said the constable. \The wheels o' clocks and watches he meant, no doubt,\ said Shepherd Fen- neL \I thought his hands were palish for's trade.\ \Well it appears to me that nothing can be gained by retaining this poor man in custody,\ said the magistrate; \our business lies with the other, un- questionably.\ And so the little man was released; off-hand; but he looked nothing the less sad on that account, it being beyond the power of magistrate or constable to raze out the written troubles in his brain, for they concerned another whom he regarded with more solicitude than himself. When this was done, and the man had gone his way, the night was found to be so far advanced that it was deemed useless to renew the search be- fore the next morning. Next day, accordingly, the quest for the clever sheep-stealer became general and keen, to all appearances at least. \ it the intended punishment was cruel- ly disproportioned to the transgression, and the sympathy of a great many country folk in that district was strong- ly on the side of the fugitive. More- over, his marvelous coolness and daring under the unprecedented circumstances of the shepherd's party won their ad- miration. So that it may be questioned if all those who ostensibly made them- selves so busy in exploring woods and fields and lanes were quite so thorough wben'it came to the private examina- tion of their own lofts and outhouses. Stories were afloat of a mysterious fig- ure being occasionally seen in some ofd overgrown trackery or other, remote from turnpike roads; but when a search was instituted in any of these suspected quarters, nobody was found. Thus the days and weeks passed without tidings. In brief, the bass-voiced man of the chimney-corner was never recaptured. Some said that he went across the sea, others that he did not, but buried him- self in the depths of a populous city. At any rate the gentleman in cinder- gray never did his morning's work at Casterbridge, nor met anywhere at all, for business purposes, the comrade with whom he had passed an hour of relaxa- tion in the lonely house on the coomb. The grass has long been green on the graves of Shepherd Fennel and his fru- gal wife; the guests who made up the 3hristening party have mainly followed their entertainers to the tomb; the baby in whose honor they had met is a mat- ron in the sere and yellow leaf. But the arrival of the three strangers at the shepherd's that night, and the details connected therewith, is a story as well known as ever in the country about Higher Crowstairs.—Xongmow'g. • NEW ORGAxN!
