It ia not possible that tbe reader hat
formed more than a vague idea of tbe
characteristics of William Wornum.the
schoolmaster. I have said that he was
eccentric; I she aid have said that pco
pie called him eccentric-people who
did not know him wel*. He had trav
eled a great deal, and was possessed
an ample competency, and yet he chose
to shut himself np in a school-room
day after day with thirty or more riot*
ous urchins. He was the owner of
large plantation, tbe most fertile, prob-
•b y, m the whole country, and it was
in charge of an overseer who was not
only kind to the negroes, but was one
of the most ptogreesive and intelligent
agriculturists of that day. His crop*
ot cotton and corn were something
wonderful, and they brought to tbe
schoolmaste r an ample income. Know<
ing all this, some of the inhabitants ( i
Rockville called him eccentric, while
otl e s said he was not only eccentric,
but miserly. When gossip of this sort
was brought to bis ears by Miss Jane,
who was his most earnest champion,
ne would smile and eay nothing. He
was too indifferent to [ ublic opinion io
even have a contempt for it. He wei
little into society, although he wt

coliar freshness and brightness n>
often wen in children, and he at once
became interested. For the rest, the
uhoolnwster waa tall and slim, with a
alight stoop in (he shou'derp. Hia face
was ao thoaghtfnl and intellect nal as to
have the appearance of aadnees, and
he had dark hair, large, brilliant black
eyes, and rather a large mouth. In
him, the ease and repose oi a man ol
the world se* med to be combined in a
singular manner with the shyness an->
reserve ol the scholsr. His humor,
which had something • f the flavor ol
that of Sir Tnomas Browne about i'
sometimes took tbe shape of ssrearm
Dnt never drifted in the direction
cynicism. He made a great pretence
of being serious over trifles, and ol
treating important matters with care,
less indiflerer.ee. He wra well ad
vanced in tbe thirties, bnt said be waa
forty, on the ground that it waa as con-
i intent for an unmarried man to be
forty years old as to be tbirtv-reven.
He was the satiriet of people and
things, and the benefactor of all who
needed charity. Above all, he was
generona to bis negroes, 't hey were
well-clothed, weti-fed at d had comfort-
sole quarters. 1 do not mention tb s
as an exception. Scarcely one planter
in one hundred treated his negroes
cruelly, and that one was compelled to
face the open ecom and conti mp* ol
the ninety-nine. It waa not a crime
in the eyes ot the law lor a master to
treat his slave cruelly, bnt the old plan
tation had a code ol ita own, and cru
elty to a negro waa almost invariably
followed by social isolation, and to
these timrs no pnnisbment ccu'd be
severer. 1 have mentioned this trait
in the character of William Wornnm
becau-e the careful and scrnpnlona
manner in which he watched over his
negroes was the subject of remark
among hia neighbors. Upon one occa
sion, he employed a man named Ran
dick, who came well recommended to
manage bis plantation. A few weeks
afterwards, while making his regnlar
weekly visit to his place. Wort am
called for Plato, a venerable old negro,
who, by reason of his age, experience
and fsiihlulnees, waa the confidential
advirer of his master in matters rela
ting to the management of the crops
and the necessities ot the negroes.
When tbe old mao, still hale and
hearty, but with hair as white a. snow,
came np, hat in hand, his master ob
served a scar across hia face.
“How did yon hurt yonrself, Plato 7"
asked William Wornnm.
“I did’nt hurt mjee’t. Mars William.
I wcz hnrted.”
“ W ho hart yon ?*’
“Mr Ktddick.”

“He (etched me a lick wid ’ia ridiu’-

“Send E’-iick after Mr. Rtddick aud

Reddick came np in a great harry,
apparently, and waa very tflusive in
ot* manner.
“Why, lordy, knmel 1 howdy 1 FI

“I believe we have a contract for the

“Come to Rockville to-morrow and I

ately/’
“But, knmel—”
“If we arune over the matter, Mr.
Raddick, I shall lose my temper. I
don’t want yon on my place, and that
ia enrngh.”
That waa the end of Raddick’s ca
reer as an overseer in that section. The
fact leaked ont in some way that
William Wornnm had paid him an en
tire year’s salary rather than keep
him, and he (onnd it impossible to ob
tain employment. Piato, relating the
aflair to hia fellow servants some time
after, said:
“I nnse’d Mara William turn a baby
up, an’ I ain’t never seen ’im dat mad
belo’. He wuz a whoopin', aho’e yon
born.”
Another peculiarity of the school
master was his extreme sensitiveness.
In his youth it aimoet amounted to an
• fll'ction, bnt he was accustomed to
hide it by an assumed carelessness that
did not particularly commend him to
strangers. “Have many acquaintances,
but few friends,” he was accustomed to
say at times, or “the people oi the east
have a habit of inspecting their figs be
fore eating them.” His most intimate
friends were Miss Jane Perryman snd
htr sister Nora, Judge Walthall, who
who had been a member of congress,
snd who was the latgest planter in the
county, Emory Reed, a brilliant young
lawyer, and Miss Kate Uoderwood.
He was attracted to Miss Jane by the
sharpness ol her wit and her uncom-
■remising method of dealir g with the
oibles ol friends and toes, aud the apt
ness of her illustrations. He had long
ago discovered what a warm and kind
ly nature lay beneath the cloak of as
perity which Mias Jane chose to wear,
and she, with the shrewdness of her
sex, had taken the fall measure of the
schoolmaster and caught more than
one glimpse ot his noble pnrpoeee and
paresonh “The porcupine famishes
a tender ste-k,” be waa wont to n mark
when dt fending Miss Jane from tbe
good-humored attacks of her friends,
and she had said of him: “The biggest
fiddle don’t make the most mnsic by a
long shot.”
Miss Jane waa not compelled to
take boarders. She owned a family oi
seven sleek, fat negroes, beaded by
Uncle Ben and Aunt Feirabv. The
two latter she kept with her, bnt the
five boys -stoat, healthy fellows, rang
in age from fifteen to twenty-two—she
hired oat, allowing them the privilege
ol choosing their own employers. Un-
cle Ben was quite a character in bis
way, and quite a fsvoriu with the
vouog men, who enjoyed hia odd say
ings and admired bis politeness, which
<- onld have done honor to one ol the
old Virginia barons He waa a'so a
famous hunter of the raccoon and
opossum, and there are few who lived
in Rockville < ven as late sa 1858 who
do not haves livelv recollection ot Un
cle Ben’s “ 'possum sappers.”
Miss Jane was quite comfortably off,

whom she bad long known, aiked her
to allow him to mr ke one of her little
family, she readily consented, with the
characteristic remark:
“Wimmen is poor creel wsennyhow.

man in the boose, an’ miserble rf they

t'li’too ole ter be enny perfection, an'
1 b’leeve in my soul t f a boggier wnz
to krt ak in I wouldn’t have strength to
hoi'er for Ben.”
And so tbe tchoolmaster took np his
quarters in the little cottage. Nora had
j oat returned from Philadelphia where
she had been at school, and William
Wornnm was surprised that rne desti
tute of sight could be tanght ao many
accomplishments. Indeed, it was al
ways a question with him whether she
had been tanght. She seemed to lesrn
by intuition. Her memory was some
thing wonderful, while her hearing and
her sense of tonch were moet exquis
itely developed. As the schoolmaster
said, her blindness was by no means an
t illiction. Her large gray eyes were as
ciear and as limpid as though their vis
ion wss unimpaired, and but for the
introspective i xpression they always
wore- as of one in deep thought who
looks at yon fixedly and yet does not
seem to Bee yon—strangers would have
learned of her blindness a llh aston
ishment The schoolmaster waa at
first dis. oaed to deplore what he con
eidered pan t illiction, bnt later t.e
ceased to remember that she was blind.
Upon one occasion when she and
William Wornum were bitting in the
porch together, the conversation turned
upon her blindness, and she said:
“If a miracle conld be performed,
and I could be made to see, I think
should be in perpetual confusion,
canuot understood how it is possible
for people to look and listen at the
same time. I should probably think
lees of my friends if Icjnll see their

"No doubt,” said the schoolmaster,
with a sigh. “Some oi them are h<

“Oh, I didn’t mean It at,” the yoang
f iri ties cue.I to reply. “I meant that
