DEAR GAZETTE z—My bet was from
Charleston. We were then on board the
“City Point” awaiting her departure for So-
vannah and the Florida ports. Well freight-
ed with merchandise of various kinds, tak-
ing in one hundred or more colored people
of all ages, each with pack or bundle, all
bound for the turpentine regions of Georgia,
with a limited number of white passengers
most of whom came from the “James Ad-
ger.” .0ur stEamer, at 8 o'clock moved
from her dock, and we 'repasscd Castle

that Sampler is garrisoned by colored
troops. This surely is a significant fact.
While .we slept the journey to Savannah was
accomplished. The first scenes that greet-
ed us were the red waters ofthe river, ships
from England at the wharf loading with
cotton, 0 large group of colored oystermen
from down the river 15 or 20 miles away,
with their boat loads of oysters fer sale,
colored men evidently waiting for “a job.”

MILLY’S MISHAPS.
-—r— '
[Concluded from last week]
How long she sat there she did not know;
but presently the sound of a quick tread
ringing along .the sidewalk brOught a thrill,
half of terror, half of hope, to her heart, and
she started up and went half-way down the
steps. Shewould speak to him, no matter
who he might be, she had resolved, and beg
him to try and make the people in the house
hear her; she didn’t believe all the stuff that
was talked about the wickedness of men ; at
any . rate, she had never experienced any
ing but respect and consideration from
them ; and, any how, she must do something;
she could not. stay there all night—she would
be frozen stiff before morning! '
Meanwhile the steps had drawn nearer
and nearer, and Milly perceived to her infi-
nate reliefithat it was one of the blue-coated
and brass buttoned gentry whose business it»
E Farm of 85 we, on new,“ m“, Wm“, And by whose flowers thehumming-blrd hangipoiaed is to assist the astray and helpless. He stop- sight; and this is Mr. Rutherford’s special
ped short in amazement at seeing a person,
evidently a lady, and young, standing alone
at this hour upon the steps of the great
house; and Milly ran down to him”, and ea-
gerly put in her plea.
“The family are out, I know,” she said,
after explaining the cause of her being there
so late; “but there must be some one left in
the house. They’re asleep, I’m afraid; but
won’t you please see if you can’t wake them
up 1'", as '
The policeman looked keenly other, and
his practiced eye told him that all was right.
“It’s too bad, mum,” he said, sympathizingly
“that you should ha’ been bothered so ;-but
‘we’ll soOn get you in now, unless the folks
inside he’s dead, instead of asleep i”
He sprung up the steps and gave the hell
a vigorous pull, which made it peal out to
the veryecho, and Milly awaited the result
in breathless anxiety; but alas! profound
silence followed its dying tone, and the door
‘still remained inhospitably closed. I
“Well, if one kind 0’ noise won’t rouse ’em
perhaps another wil ,” said the stalwart po-_
liceman; and drawing out his club he com-
menced a battery of vigorous blows upon the
massive black walnut panels, which, doubt-
less, made their impression on them, but fail-
ed utterly to do so upon the ears of. those
within. - .
“Well i” at last exclaimed the discomfitcd
knight of the buttons; “if ever I saw the
beat 0’ that! There can’t be nobody to
home, Miss; the dead themselves would
wake at such a noise as that. If it weren’t
such a cold night to be hoppin’ out 0’ bed,
all the neighbors would be at the windows
to see what’s the matter, you bet. Hadn’t
you better give it up, and lem me see you to
a hotel—Fifth Av’noo right on the corner
here, you know ?. You can’t stay here all
night; nor I neither, for that matter."
" But Milly shrank with horror from the
idea; To be escorted to a hotel by a police-
man! That, she knew, would be the last
back, when she heated the mortifying his-
tory of her many mishaps; besides, it-would
be in every way so disagreeable. “Oh no;
she couldn’t. do that! Wouldn’t. he please
door or wincfo'w ‘or 7 , , - _
be responsible for any amount of damages!"
The poor child looked at .him with such
swimming eyes and plead so piteously that
the man was touched, and considered a mo-
ment whether there really was any thing
farther to be done. - '
“I ’spose I might unfasten the basement
windo‘vir and slip you in," he said, medita-
fi‘vely. “Idon’t much like to do it. Why,
they might have usboth up for burgl’ry,Miss .
and that would be worse than going to a
hOtel, even with me l” and he smiled a little
grimly. “Come ahead, though; we’ll try it,
ifyou say so.” '
“Oh, thank you, yes 3 I say any thing that
will get me into this house. Do, do try,
please!” 8 . ,
So down they went into the court-yard,
and' up to the basement Windows, whose
blinds wereclosely drawn. By some slight
of hand, which Milly never understood, the
policeman managed toopen'a shutter; then
coolly knocking in a pane of glass, he thrust
in his arm, reached down, and pushed aside
the bolt. This done, it was all-easy matter
for him to open the window, and lifting
Milly’s little light form in his two hands, to
drop her gently down into the room.
“Dark enough in there, isn’t it ?” he said,
peering into the unlit and tireless 300m
“Never mind, I’ve got a match, as luck will
have it; and you’re safe enough now. Just
fasten the blinds and boltthewindows again
and nobody can get in without making as
much noise as I did, and that you'd be like-
ly to hear. I can’tst another minute—I
sha’n’t get through 'my rounds now in time
—here’s the match ;” and- he was gone as
soon as Milly’s fingers had closed upOnit.
Well irat least she. was in comparative
_ safety—but, oh ! thrOugh what tribulation
had she come! Milly had to drop right
' her nervousness before she could get cour-
age enough to “grape about and find the. gas.
When it was lighted, however, and the terri-
ble darkness .was dispelled, her spirits rose,
and she marched straight to the door, deter-
mined to brave the terrors of the apparently
deserted house, and go in search of food and_
a.- bed. Whatwas her. horror at finding it
locked! .
For the half-dozenth time that day her
heart turned chill within her; for the half-
dozenth time she uttered the despairing ex-
clamation, “What shall I do ?”
She shook the door with all her small
strength; shepounded upon it with her little .
clenched fists; nay, even kicked it with her
tiny boots, in her desperatiOn; but it was all
of no avail. The Fates were evidently
against her; and who so strong as to cope
with Destiny? ‘ ‘ '
Reduced once more to submissive patience
meekly about her to see how she could make
the best of things. Never was there an
apartment less adapted for a comfortable so-
journ by night. The walls werewainseoted
to the ceiling with solid shelves Ofblack wal-
nut, Closely stackcd ‘ with ponderOns and
awful loéking volumes, bound inrusty leath-
er. _ Still heavier and duskier tomes were
piled here and there in corners on the floor;

feather .which would break her mother’s ,

down upon the” floor and cry out a little of _
ed in Miss Thorne's service, and must hence-
forth be put to no bases" uses.”
He Bmke in a cold, constrained’tone; but
Millyliftedher ens tohlm,all swimming
with softness, and echoed his words in s
inciting tone. . ‘
“The poor? Ah, yes 1” she cried. “ I
shall never forget ._thcm again. as I used to.
I have knoWn myself, within the last twenty
four hours, what it was to be cold and him-
gry and homeless and penniless; and I can
never forget again how dreadfhl it must be
for those Who have to bear always what
made me sufi‘er so fora day. ,Jt is only a
trifle, I know, but if I ever do recover that
tiresome porte-monaie, I shall devote its con-
tents to the poor whom I shall be sure to
meet in New Yor "
“All its contents, Miss Milly i‘” said Jack,
smitten harder than ever by this flash proof
of his charmer’s univerul loveliness, but all
the more indignant that she had been ap-
propriated by another.
Milly looked up wondering at his mean-
ing tone, and colored at the curious glance
with which he was regarding her. He
'couldn’t know any tbing—whatin the world
could he suspect?
“There is nothing but the money worth
giving to them," she said, evasively. ' “Some
‘ lecture-tickets, Ibelieve, and a memorandum
of some shopping momma wants me to do
for her.” ~
“Nothing else ?” "queried Jack, still with
that meaning “look. “It is necessary, you
know, for me to have a full list ofthe con-
tents.”
Milly hesitated, and the wild rose-tint of
her cheek deepenedto’ eramoisie. She wish-
ed he had never ofl‘ered to attend to the ad-
vertisement for her, but she could not refuse
it without rudeness, especially now that it
had gone so far. Besides, ofconrse he would
bring the package unopened toher, and how
should he ever know that his own picture
had been chosen to be the companion ofher
lanely journey?
Compelling herselfto speak in an indifler-
ent tone, she answered, lightly:
“You’re a great deal more particular I be
lieve, than-the man who 'found the purse.
However, if you must know every individ-
-ual thing it contained, there was also a bro-
ken ring ‘which Ibrought on to have mend-
ed, and a—a photograph.”
“Gentleman or lady ?" persisted her merci-
less inquisitor.
But Beth interposed here. “What on‘tmh
are‘you teasing the child sofor, Jack ? You
had better be ofl‘ down town—it is nearly
eleven o’clock. Come, Milly.”
And Milly gladly tucked herself under her
friend’s wing, and made good her escape;
while poor Jack, having punished lnmse‘ lf
far more than her by this extorted proof of
her being “already mortgaged,” tookhis dis-
'consolate departure, and astonished his fath-
er and appalled the clerks by a most incom-
prehensible restlessness and irascibility the
livelong day.
Time would fail total! of all the kind de-
vices employcd by the whole Rutherford
household to make their young guest’s visit
as enjoyable as her journey had been disa-
greeable.‘ The opera, the theatre, the Park,
balls and receptions, shoppingwisiting, rides
drives,-and even skating and sleighing by-
and-by, all were set in tempting array before
her; and in' a single fortnight she had more ‘
dissipation than in all her little life before,
and more than repaid all the citation that

. Therewssv only one drawback to her per-
‘fect happiness. Colonel Rutherford behaved
‘in such a provoking way! Always polite‘
always attentive, nay, Wiring, she was‘ sure
thought Milly, with a blush and a pout; but
always so cool, so watchful, just as if he
were keeping guard against some designs of
hers. . He need not be afi'aid! she said to
herself, with a curling lip. But she was
piqued, nevertheless, and Beth saw it in
spite of her well-feigned indifference, and
raged inwardly at Jack’s stupid insensibillty
but dared say never a word lest. she should
spoil all by untimely interference.
She was almost ready to give up her cher-
ished plan as hopeless, when all of a sudden
one day, in the broad noontide, and having
left home as well as usual in the morning,
her incomprehensible brother burst into the
music-room, where she and Milly sat at the
piano practicing a duet, and totally regard-
less of her own insignificant presence, charg-
ed upon Milly as' though she were a battery
he had been ordered'to take.
\ He, sWearing at himself for his awkward-
ness, saw that there was nothing to be done
but “face the music,” though facing the ene-
my’s batteries was nothing to it. He ad-
vafiéed with a grave. bow and essayed'to
speak, but vainly. _Milly, womanlike, re-
covered the use of her tongue first. Draw-
ing up her slender figure, and setting back
her head in stately fashion, she prepared to
announce herself, and explain her position
with befitting dignity; but the comicality of
the situation was too much for her, and
breaking into a peal of uncOntroilable laugh‘
ter, she held out her hand with a crimson '-
face, but a bewitching smile, and exclaimed;
“Well met again! You seem to have a
special mission for coming to the rescue of
forlorn damsels, Won’t you please let Miss
Rutherford know that Milicent Theme is
here i” ' , -'
.The laugh was contagious. The embar-
rassed knight-errant echoed it most heartily

Bridget,” he said, coolly ; “just run up stairs,
i-won’t you, and tell .Miss Elizabeth that’her
friend had arrived, and-to get up at once.”
But here Milly interposed a plea.
“Mayn’t she give me something to out
first ?" she asked, innocently; “indeed, I am
almost furnished !” .
He looked at her in consternation.
“By Jove, she has . been starved too i” he
ejaculated, and tlln wheeled sharply round

heaped with yet more of the samehard and-
unbending style of literature, and, strewn
with dry and legal-looking papers. .'
Half a dozen high-backed, stiff, and brass-
nailed chairs stood solemnly around; but
not a sofa, not a lounge, ottoman, or low
seat of any description, in which she might
rest for a moment her; benumbcd and wea-
ried limbs.
And she was cold, poor child, and so tired
and so hungry! The piteous tears would
come again for. a little while, but they did
her good; and after she had letthe floods
come down for a few minutes she burst out
into a pea! of actual laughter, and began to
look'abont her in good earnest for the means
of ameliorating her position. \
The cold was the worst thing. Even with
tbs blinds shut and the shade drawn close
the night air‘came in keenly through the
broken Window, and Milly was already

was the work of a moment to seize and un-

and not especially dirty, though bearing .
marks of use. . O
