“ When General Evans waé se- lected by the Spanish Government to bring a legion of British subjects to fight the cause of Isabella Secun- all, [became acquainted with many eventful histories. Among my other duties, ‘I had to keep a strict 1ccount of the disposal ofthe money given to me fot‘ldistribution; and as I was allowed the services of a clerk,[ selected from among the soldiers a young man of superior manners and address, named Geo.

The fame ofStr Ulick’s school was bruited throughout the surrounding parishes Periodical examinations were estabâ€" lished; and it became the fashion among the ladies of the neighbor- hood to ask for permission to under- take the lighter branches of educa- tion among the scholars. Fore- most among the aspirants for this‘ honor were the three daughters of Sir Ulick Mastragh; the eldest, a tall. dashing brunnette of two and twenty, who was engaged to on of-‘ ficer then quartered with his regi- ment in England; the second, an} earnest trusting, enthusiastic girl of twenty; the third, a. merry little chatter-box of eighteen. All these young ladies were constant in their attendance at the school; but the second girl, Eleanor, seemed the most interested in the welfare of the children, and, it must be avowed, of their instructor. She was better educated, better read, had more appreciation of the refined pleas- ures of literature and art than the generality of girls brought up in a rural lrish district. and she woulu turn with delight fromthe inanities of the military oflicers quartered in the neighbourhood, and from the sporting talk of the squires, to the calm, rational conversation, and reâ€" spectful yet earnest address of the young schoolmaster. he upshot of this may be easily guessedâ€"they fell in love with each other. The visits to the school house were re- doubled, and for some months the course of their true love ran smoothly enough. At length the rumors of this attachment, which had been floating about the neigh- bourhood. and which it is said, were originated bv certain elderly dani- sels who themselves had' hoped' to make an impression on Prender- gast ; these rumors. I say, reached‘ Sir Uliek's ears. The result may, in the beautiful language of the newspapers, be more easily imagined than described. the proudest land- owner in Kerry was not likely .to be well pleased at the thought of having a pennilcss, low-horn school- 1 master for a son-in-law, and he re- viled poor Prcndergnst in the stron- gest terms, uphraided him with treachery, and declared his intention of getting him removed from his position.

As soon as she signalled us, a boat put off from her and came alongside of us, and a soldier, whom I recog- nized as the Colonel's orderly, hail- ed us with an order that Private George Prendergast should immedi- ately proceed to head-quarters. He obeyed as a matter of course, and speculation at once became rife as to the cause ofhis summons. Some said that he was to be at once court‘ martialed and floggedâ€"some that he had turned out to be heir to a dukedomâ€"but the real truth of the story was this : “Three days after the 'vessel with the Colonel and staff had been at sea. it was discovered that a young girl had concealed herself on board. She was immediately "Of course I could not receive his purchase money; and, as the Colonel was on board the other ship, I could but report the circum- stance to my immediate superior officer, who‘ at once, and emphati- cally, refused the request. When morning dlwned, we were under weigh and standing steadily out to sea. Prendergast's boat had long since returned to the shore, and he himself was silent and morose. I think I never saw such utter despair as he then betrayed, he‘ went through his duties mechanically, but without speaking a word, nor did his manner change until we ar- I‘IVCd in the harbor of Santander, and saw our companion steamer, which had arrived one day before us with the other portion of the “ Our time at Cork was nearly up, and the officers, Sick of the routine duty they had been put through, were hailing our departure with de- light, when, two days before the date find for our sailing for Santan- der, Prendergast came to me in a state of great agitation, and begged me to use my influence in obtaining for him a short leave of absence He urged hisinvariable punctuality. and stated that he had not intended to have quilted the regiment for an hour, but that he had that morning received a letter telling him of the serious illness of one whom he loved more than all the world. I had such reliance on the man’s integrity that I never doubted his intention to return; Imade the matter one of personal favor with the Colonel, and I’rendergast left us. The two days passed away, and late on the evening before we were to sail, the muster roll was called, and the deck ofeach ofthe two large stea ers anchored in the harbor of Passage, which were to convey us to our" destination . Every man answered to his name. except George Pren- dcrgast. He still was absent; and his absence gave rise to innumera- ble little sarcasms directed against lme by my brother officers, who, as we stood smoking our cigars on the quarter-deck of the old Earl of R0- den, were pleasantly facetiousabout my protege, the deserter. Sudden- ly the splash of oars announced the approach ofa boat, and, to my de- light, in answer to the hail of the sentinel,I recognized Prendergast’s voice, telling the boatman to remain alongside. Aminute afterwards he‘ made his way to me, and, after sal- uting, begged a few moments’ con-i versation. I took him to my cabin, and once there, in a face blanched with despair. and in a voice bi okcn with emotion, he told me that he could not go with the regiment ;> that no earthly inducement could prevail on him to leave Ireland. His reasons he would not give, but produced a small r‘anvass bag full of sovereigns, which, he said, were the savings of several years. and all of which he offered as his purchase money.

I’rendergast was now a sergeant, a daring soldier, ‘ and one likely to win further promo- tion. He was the Colonel's prime favorite: every officer of the regi- ment spoke well of him; and his wife and her babyâ€"for he had a little son of a month oldâ€"were adored by all the ladies. “ But theirs, like all other human :happiness, was not without a cloud. The great battle of the 5th of May, 1836, had been fought, the Carlists [had been driven back, and the Le- gion was lying encamped outside the walls of San Sebastian. The Tenth Munsters lay at the extreme verge of the line; and next to us was a Scotch regiment, with the men and officers of which we soon became very friendly. Among these officers, the most frequent and most welcome in our lines was a Captain Evan Hepburn: a tall, dashing, high-spi- rited fellow, whose father was a laird of one ofthe Western isles, and. who, after having been expel- led frnm Sandhurst. resuscitated at Cambridge. and forbidden the par- ental roof, had obtained a commis- sion in the Legion, and had already rendered himself conspicuousâ€"â€"not less by his reckless audacity, than ,by the extraordinary attachment ex- ‘hibited towards him by a gigantic ‘Highland piper, serving with the re- giment. whom he hfltl chosen as his body Servant. and who, indeed, wasI scarcely ever absent lrom his side. Closely attended by Archy Ledingv ham, as the piper was called, Cap- tain Hepburn “ as a daily visitor in our lines, friendly with the officers, genial with the men, and passing no one without a kind word or glance; but it soon began to be noticed that he invariably halted for some little time at Prendcrgast‘s tent, into; which he passed, while the High- lander remained keeping watch out-; side. These visits constantly paid’ to a very pretty woman, invariably during the absence of her husband; on regimental duties, of course soon‘ brought before the Colonel and ques- tioned. when she avowed herself to !he the second daughter of Sir Uliek lMastragh. and the betrothed ofl’ri- vate George Prendergast, of the Ten h Munsters. She said she had written to her lover, appointing a lust interview, but that before the time came, so persecuted was she ‘hy her father, that she determined to leave her home. In disguise she reached Cork, and managed through the kindness offwo of the men to whom she confided a portion of her story, but whose names she would never disclose. to slip on board the ship. Over-fatigue, hunger and ex- citement brought on an attack of high fever. In her ravings, she re- peatedly uttered the name of George Prendergast, and her con- nexion with him was thus first die- covered. The Colonel was very wrothâ€"with both the lovers; she should be sent home instantly in the first ship to her father, Sir Uliek, but this she positively refused to agree in, and in her‘mfusal she was aided and abetted by the wives of all the married officers, whose inter- est was powerfully excited by the romance of the affair. So the Col‘ onel, like a sensible man as he was. sOon gave in. and the lovers were married as soon as we got into the barracks.

Often, in my dreams, rings in my ears the demonaic yell with which the deci- mated Carlist band rushed upon their“ victorious pursuers, cheered on by a tall and handsome oflieer, in a fantastic uniform, in whom, even amid the smoke and carnage, I re- cognized Evan Hepburn. I looked. but could not see Ledingham by his side; I cast a hurried glance along my own ranks, and discovered l’rendergast within a few feet of me. By the expression of his face I saw that he too saw and knew his old enemy; in an instant his musket was at his shoulder, and before the op- posing lines clashed together, and with the cheer yet ringing on his lips, Captain Hepburn fell to the‘ ground a corpse, shot dead by Pren-‘ dergast’s hand.
