She wouldn’t lhave itâ€"â€"afraid of insects and the public ‘gaze. Public gaze, forsooth! damme ! ; I aint ashamed of my guests or my dinner, I said. But, bless me! it’s near dinnerâ€" tiineâ€"how about your trap? you can ‘ put up here, and your man can have his ,dinner, and all that. “ Take” (to Jack) i“ the trap rcund to the back, my man, by the left there, past the dog kennel, ‘and tell the coachman to make you all right.” There was a large party in the room of ladies and gentlemen, to several of Whom I was introduced, and specially to a lovely creature to Whom the host pre- sented me, styling her “ My neiee, Lady Rose O‘Shea.” He had evidently for- gotten my name, and was hazy about my antecesdents, and introduced me in a very general way as “My friend the Captain from Aldershot.” I could not be surprised at this. His beeâ€"like manner of fluttering from subject to subject made it unlikely that he should remem- ber anything, except in a general way. Probably it was a triumph that he had grasped the idea that I was a Captain, and from Alders‘not, for he insisted a good deal upon it. _ “ I’m delighted to see you,” she said; “ our good friends told us you were to be at Aldershot, and Without being actually certain that you were there now, we wrote on chance to ask you to join our little party, and I’m so glad we’ve been so fortunate.” l “\Vell, well; well!” he said, “time and tide wait for no 1113.11,110 more should dinner, eh? ha! ha! and dinncr’s ready these ten minutes, but there‘s somebody wanting,I know; there are only twenty- four here, and we dine twenty-five; who’s amissing? I say, Jemima, who is it? Ah! Isee; as usual its that eat Polly. But talk of the divi1-- eh? here she is; the late Miss Polly; ha! ha! Now come away, my Lady Rose, take your old uncle’s arm; and Jemima, you and the Captain from Aldershot will form up the parade, and march on the commissariat departmentâ€"come away, my Ladyâ€"ha! ha! ha!” and he went braying and guffawing out of the room. “‘ Very well, very Wellâ€"do asvyour please; plenty of stabling, if - you like; butâ€"ah! walk in, gentlemenâ€"walk in. You know your Wayâ€"~xvalk in‘ and walk up to the drawing-room. I knew you at once, Captain, although I’m sure I don’t know when I saw you before. It was only once, I thinkâ€"at old what-d’yeâ€"call- ’em’s; but you handsome dogs, you see, you make an impressionâ€"hey ? ha! ha! -â€"â€"and when I saw you looking _ about at, the gates, I said to myself, ‘Here he is, and no mistake.’ You’ve been all over the world senoe'we met, I’ve no doubt, fighting the battles of your Queen andâ€" oh ? here‘s the drawingâ€"room. Jemima, here’s the Captainâ€"~111y friend, the Captain; you never saw him before, 1 think.” A corresponding stout and benign lady answered to the name of Jemima, and came forward to Welcome me. mThis was a dig for J ack, Whose exces- sively horsy attire not uunaturally led to the mistake. I explained, h0wever,'that I had a message for the town, and that “my fellow” wouki go on and stable at the inn. Thev“eat Polly’s” entrance may have been a subject of mere gastronomic inâ€" terest to the rest of the party; to me it was somewhat more, being, in fact, as tremendous and startling as if a bomb-‘ shell had descended through the roof into the drawing room of Carysf'ort Villa. The “cat Polly,” in a word, was no other than the Lady Eva Tressilianâ€" the Parroquet of my opera-house adven- ture.

For you know, ’tis ‘constant dropping Wears away the hardest stone.’ Never slack sublime endeavour, Nor ’midst checr‘less toil despair; If you’d rise above your fellows, Brother! you must “ Win and Wear.” ’Tis the lesson Nature teaches All throughout her wide domain; And the text from which she preaches, Is “ that labour leads to gain.” Moral worth and honest meritâ€" Brighter crowns than monarchs bearâ€" These you never can inherit-â€" Brofher! these you “ Win and Wear.” CHAPTER II.â€"(00NTINUED.) ThEre was the game look as her aggmmm WIN AND WEAR. @amg. Consuming my turtle, I reviewed the situation. It was baffling. \Vho the deuce was the cat Polly ? She knew I was coming hereâ€"this must be the occasion to which she had alluded in her note, on which I was to make an ef- fort to conduct myself like a stranger. My host, Mr. Lewis, then must be her uncle. I could once have known her, and pshawl impossible. I was rather surprised, too, at the style of peo- ple who were my entertainers, They were not what I had expected from the description of my introducer, the old vicar at home, who had spoken of them as ‘his dear and early quiet friends, who would be happy to give me at least a, warm welcome in their frugal home.’ Mrs. Lewis, too, had invited me in a half-apologetic way ; said there would be ‘ no party, no inducements, and hoped that a hearty welcome might compensate for ‘simple fare and other deficiencies.’ But this was not my idea of a frugal home; a table blazing with plateâ€"turtle soupâ€"half a score of servantsâ€"more than a score of guestsâ€"â€"all this could scarcely be described as ‘no party, sim- ple fare, and other deficiencies;’ and as for quietness, that rollicking, blatant, babbling old party at the foot of the table, how could he be called a quiet man ? or his wife, could she? and Badger, What the deuce did that mean when the man’s name was Lewis? a term of endearment probably, but an oddish one to be shouted down a fortyâ€" fect room by a quiet woman to her quiet husband. Thus puzzling, I consumed my turtle and sipped my punch; but when these were disposed of and I found myself still in the dark, I dismissed speculation. I acted on my usual prin- ciplc, which said, ‘If' you ever do stum- ble on a moment or two worth living for, give yourself all to them while they last ‘crasingens iterabimus aequor.’ Here were some moments worth living forâ€" gastronomically at last~so I yielded my- self to the joys of the Sybarite, wreath- ed me a garland of the vine, decked the bald front of Father Time with roses-â€" that is, dipped boldly into the very dry champagne of BadgenLewis, toyed with undeniable entrees, grappled with the inevitable haunch, conversed slightly with Mrs. Badger, and from time to time, emboldened by that which maketh glad the heart of man, contrary to my usual custom, let my eyes go roving down the table, till they rested on a face and a pair of eyes Whichâ€"whichâ€"the like of whichâ€"tut, tut lâ€"Which appeared to lmC to have more attractive power than The process of shaking together was a matter of some time. Ladies pumped *down “Together-Min «-~-eoveye;' ~ and v fgetrtle- men followed suit; Wives got next hus- bands, and brothers next sisters; guests mistook portly waiters for honoured. guests and politely offered them the pas, and so on. On the whole, the system as practised at the Courts of London and Stamboul was not on this occasion a success; but at last we got seated. Halfâ€" way down the table, on the opposite side, set the ‘eat l’olly.’ ‘Tut, tut, tut, Jemima! who ever heard me scold ? But find your places, ladies and gentlemenâ€"shake together somehow; there’s turtle, mind, and it don’t eat well iced, although we drink iced punch wiLh it, eh ? ha! ha!’ “ Indeed! and very sensibleâ€"quite what I would expect of her Majesty. You see my husband is a great stiekler for What he calls precedence. It wasn’t always the way with him7 but ever since his sister married into high life he’s taken to itâ€"â€"says it’s the right thing, and must be done; and he is very troublesome, I assure you. Whenever we have a dinner- party he gives me so many lectures and instructions and directions that my head get’s quite addled, that it does, just like it was new, and I can remember noth- ingâ€"whether an alderman goes before a rector, or a sheriff before a lawyer, or what not; but he can’t be angry When he hears it’s Court f'ashion.’ And so we entered the room, the lady screaming out, apologetieally, “It’s the Court fashion, Badger; the Captain’s always there, and he says it’s their rule : and what’s good for the goose is good for the gander, so don’t you scold me.’ “ Yes, it saves trouble; we always do it at Courtâ€"borrowed it originally from Constantinople, I believe,” said I, drop- ping instinctively from the style of the woman into the vein which had such a potent elfect on aunt Blogg. The old lady appeared to be in a regu- lar muddle, and not forseeing much pros- pect of a move, I suggested laughingly that the ladies should go out first un- escorted; and the gentlemen afterâ€"an idea Which was gratefully received and acted upon, the honor of conducting the hostess, however, continuing to me. “It’é a good 131ml that of yours,” she said. “Dear me, dear me I” said the vulgar but hearty old soul, “ Who’s to take who? I don’t know. Mr. King, will you take Mrs. Hicks? No, that won’t do. Mr. Thomson, wi‘l you take Mrs. Hicks? Dear, dear ! that’s not it either. Captain, will you take my niece, Miss Richmond ? But ah! you’re to take incâ€"1 remember that. Oh! do somebody take somebody. Badger will be furious ! ” ‘eyes met mine for an instantâ€"not a 100k ‘ of surpriseâ€"she evidently expected meâ€" ; but a look ofâ€"well. I’ll call it fond fur- tive interest. I was not presented to her, and had no time for reflection or astonislr‘ ment, for the hostess began to make her‘ disposmions of the march. Somewhat incongruoust placed in this scene of unsophisticated delights were the graceful forms of the two ladies to whom my attention had been especial- ly directedâ€"the two ladyshipsâ€"the real Lady Rose and and the spurious Lady Eva. No doubt beauty and grace could searely have found better foils for their attractions than this festive board afford- ed, surrounded as it was with the distend- ing forms and gulo'se .features of these gormandising men of scrip. But their beauty required no foil, no softening me- dium of an atmosphere misty with the spray of sparking wine. Gems of purest water are independent of adventitious enhancement, and each of these girls was agem in her own way. Mrs. Badgerâ€" Lewis was hungry, and I may add thirsty, and the preoccupation of minis- terining to these wants, combined with a slight poverty in conversational topics kept her silent, and left me leisure to obâ€" ‘serve the humour-s of the scene. I have said before that I was not a lady’s man ; but here, toâ€"day, whether from a subtle pleasure in contemplating incongruities, or that my art~nature (for I am a bit of an artist) was mysteriously worked upon by some porportional harmony in the facial lines of the girl, I could not then decide, but certain it is that I stared horribly at Lady Rose. It assuredly was not strange (under the circumstances) that the Lady Eva should attract my regards, as she did from time to time; but the other fascinationâ€"that was beyond the region of my experiences. And there was someting else that puzzled me; it was that in the occasional return glances of Lady Rose I could not but observe a certain intelligence, by no means like that of the Parroquet,â€"â€"a look in which curiosity, disapprobation, and amusement struggled for the mastery. I think it is an extremely diificult matter to delineate by word- painting the niceties of female beauty, and I approached the task of describing these two ladies with ahumble consciousâ€" ness of my own inadequacy to do them justice. I am sadly destitute of the technical jargon which is part of the stockâ€"in-trade of those who unfold tales bearing upon matters erotic. Pathetic eyelashes, Madonna mouths, married brows, swimming eyes, impossible coinâ€" binations of nonâ€"existing tints, and the mysterious terms of physiognomical architectureâ€"these are machineries I know not how to work. I suppose the reader would not be satisfied if I was simple to say that they were both ‘in. eff-ably beautiful!’ in their respective styles of dark and fair? Very well, then, I will give my own ‘outsider’s’ View of the two nymphs as they sat at meat among the satyrs. The Parroquet was what I have heard ladies call a ‘ professed beauty ’â€"â€"â€" by which they appear to mean, not that the lady to whom the term is applied merely thinks herself or ‘sets up’ for a beauty, but that her charms are of that undeniable stamp which it baffles even envy to explain away. Her figure was tall and gracefully set on and carried; her lovely face devoid of the coldness and insipidity which so often belong to features of What I believe to be called the Grecian type. What face could be wanting in expression when adorned with such eyes? dark blue as the sky on a summer night, and brilliant as its stars, and with that look of slum- bering fire (as .if they could look such things) that is hardly ever seen eonbinâ€" ed with a fair complexion; and Polly’s skin was beautifully fair, and her hair bright as a golden harvestâ€"field. Is that enough? Noâ€"â€"her dress. Ah! her dress, I can say nothing more about it than that it was pink, and that her head was crowned with a Chaplet of large white daisies ; and so much for the Par- roquet. with the elink of' glassess; their corks ricochetted from the eorniees and played fitfully on the features of the guests. Everywhere the improvised waiter lurched dangerously about on his misâ€" Siou of destruction, bumping oceiputs with sharp-cornered dishes, and embel- lishing silk, satin, and broadcloth with buttery cauliflower and glutinous sauce. The ‘hall was filled with steam offlesh,’ and the guests fed ‘like horses when you hear them feed.’ As for the laughter, it was that unquenehed laugh- ter of the immortals when they lie be- side their nectar and shake their am- brosical curls. It was an Olympus of revelling city gods, over whom Badger- Lewis beamed presidentialâ€"Jupiter Opt. Max. l Dinner went on, and a good dinner it was all through. The company was by no means so recherche as the viands were : it was in some 111stances nondes- eript, but the prevailing flavour was cer- tainly of the Stock Exchange. There was indeed not a little vulgarity, but it was a hearty, joyous, vulgarity. sugges- tive of exuberant animal spirits and much physical power. The champagne was in rivers. The bottles were invari- ably opened in the dining-room, and the sound of their explosions mingled with the roar of ever~inereasing talk, with the crash of teeth. with the jingling ofknives fimy I had previously encountered. ‘ Ah, l the Parloquet !’ I hear you say. Shrewd- ly put, but incorrect. True it is that ’my roving glances were perpetually in- terCeptedâ€"J fielded,’ as it were, by that ‘pervigil ales ’â€"but their real destina- tion was the Lady Rose O’Shea who sat beyond. ' Whole No. 555. a review in Hyde Park, which ifi‘the only time I ever saw him, for he’s too great for us, and not like poor Belturbet’, who has no pride about him, and will borrow a hundred pounds from Badger just as if he wasn’t a lord and descended from the emperors of Kerry. And it’s seldom the General allows Mary to come here, and it’s only because Rose comes that she’s allowed, I know that; but I snap my fingers at the old fool, and he knows it, andâ€"but, oh dear me 1 What a one you must think me, runnlng on about what’s nothing to nobody but ourselves, and there’s Badger looking towards you.’ THE best way of raising money is by the lever of industry. The griping miser raises his by screw-power. MR. Noses, speaking of a. blind wood- sawyer, says, “ While none ever saw him see, thousands seen him saw.” No man should be so much taken up in the search of truth, as thereby to neglect the more necessary duties of active life. A CANDIED REMARK.-â€"Sotne of the mys- teries of the candy and confection making business are hinted at in the following notice to “confectioners,” published in a. London paper:â€""’ To be sold cheap, several cwt. of orange peel, in good condition; the adver- tiser having the contract for the sweepings of all the metropolitan theatres and places of amusement, is in a position to treat for it on unusually advantageous, term; Addressâ€"w” ' AN ENGLiSH RAREmT.vâ€"An Englishman has invented a machine which surpasses an invention of Yankee origin.

Her mother, Badger’s (Badger’s) ‘ sister Susan, you see, had a good fortune of her own ; and her father, the Earl of Belturhet, was a poor Irish lord, with a large family by a former countessâ€"which accounts for our having to do with the aristocracy. But Susan has a family too, and the Earl’s an expensive man, and gets through the money I fear, if he hasn’t got through ‘it alreadvf and; altogether, poor Rose isn’t an heiress, like her cousin Mary, who is an only child. Her mother, another. sister. of Badger’s had a fortune too, and 'her father was a poor dragoon' captainâ€"~" which accounts tor our connection with the army. He’s a General now, and a. ‘ Sir ’â€"Sir Roland Richmondâ€"a stuck- up padded oockatooâ€"that is, when he's in full dress on the Queen‘s birthdayr at THE more we speak of ourselves m super- latives, the more will others speak ofus in diminutives. WAITING for a. railroad train is only less tedious and annoying than waiting fora train of thought. LEARN to hold your tongue. Five words caused Zacharias forty weeks” silence. ABOUT ten days ago, Mr. Joseph Benton, of Kearby, near Wetherby, accidentally ran a needle into his thigh on taking a seat in a chair, but, it was subsequently extracted. Mortificatlon afterwards ensued. and he died on Saturday. ‘ I Wish you had made abetter dinner,’ she began. ‘ I’m quite cross with you for not trying that vol au vent, and I don’t believe you even knew there were truffles in thepate; you took none, I saw that. But you’ll take some ice-pudding ? You know what cold pudding’s a cure for? ha, ha! and if you go on as you’re doing you’ll soon require it. I’ve watch- ed you; I’ve seen you; Ahl you mili- tary men; you military men l you’re all the sameâ€"can’t keep your eyes of a pretty girl. Not that I blame you for it here, I’m sure; for, I must say _it that shouldn’t say it, there are few prettier girls than my two nieces.’ u ‘ May I aék which two ladies have the honour of enjoyng that relationship ?’ I inquired, as innocenth as pqssible. The fixing on my mind of these im- pressions, such as they were, was not to be achieved by a slight inspection ; and the rage of her hunger thirst being ap- peased at length, my hostess, glad pro- bably to find a topic on which she was at home, began to rally me with elephan- tine bandxnage on my continued scrutiny of the two young ladies. The Lady Rose I can much less easily describe. Somehow my gaze seemed to lose itself so hopelessly in the pellucid depths of a pair of soft brown eyes, that I could scarcely get it back to observe anything else. Soft brown eyes! does that describe them? is that enough? 'No, they were something more the rays of light seemed to fall lovingly upon them, and form over them a sort of lustrous vei1â€"â€"a softening medium through which a pure spirit within might gaze upon the world and see but half its deformity. These eyes monopolised my attention so much on this occasion, that I only carried away besides, an im- 1 pression of a sweet and merry smile, frequently displaying the finest teeth in the world ; of two mischievous dimples in cheeks that bloomed like her name- sake the roses ; of a great wealth of dark auburn hair, and of a figure not tall7 but light and airy as Titania’s. And now for that confounded milinery! Well, make the most of a white muslin dress and a wreath of green oak-leaves. ‘ Sa- pienti sit satis.’
