Posimastar 559-1y 319-137 “Lelg’nf said Captain Dyer, taking down his white handkerchiefâ€"and in bright moonlight I could see that his cheek was cut, and the handkerchief all all bloodyâ€"‘ Leigh, that was an un- manly blow. You called me a. coward; you struck me; and now you try to poison the wound with your bitter Words. I never lift hand against the man who has taken that hand in his as a friend, but the day may come when I can prove to you that you are a liar.’ Lieutenant Leigh turned on him fierMas Emma I was glad, too, that I did not say any- thing, for at last I saw them coming back in the clear moonlightâ€"clearâ€"like as day; and then in the distance they stopped, and in a moment one figure seemed to strike the other a sharp blow, 'which sent him staggering back, and I could not then see who it was that was hit, till they came nearer, and I made out that it was Captain Dyer ;. while, if I had any doubts at first, I could have none as they came nearer and nearer, with Lieutenant Leigh talking in a big insolent way at Captain Dyer, who was very quiet, holding his handkerchief to his cheek. ' heed to him, only walk?! qfi'ietlfifl’ to his quarters ; While Witha sneering, scorn- ful sort of laugh, the lieutenant went into tho colonel’s tent ; though, if he ex- pected to see Miss Ross, he was disap- pointed, for so long as I was on guard, she did not shew any more that night. Ofi' again the next morning, and over a hotter-and dustier road than ever ; and I must say that I began to wish we were settled down in barracks again, for every- thing seemed to grow more and more crooked, and people more and more unâ€" pleasant” Why, even Mrs. Bantem that morning before starting must shew her teeth, and snub Bantem, and then begin going on about the eolonel’s wife, and the fine madam, her ister, having all Lsorts of luxuries, While poor hard-working soldiers’ Wives had to bear all the bur- den and heat of' the day ; while, by way of winding up, she goes up to Harry Lant and Measles, who were, as usual, squabbling about something, and boxes their ears, as if they had been bad boys. 1 saw them color up fierce ; but the next minute Harry Lant bursts out laughing, and Measles does the same, and then they two did what I should think they never did beforeâ€"they shook hands ; but Mrs. Bantem had no sooner turned away with tears in her eyes, because she felt so cross, than the two chaps fell out again about some stupid thing or another and they kept on snarling and snapping at each other all along the march. So as to be near as possible to where they were going to pass, I walked to the end of my tether, and, as they came up, Lieutenant Leigh, says, in a nasty spite- ful whisper : ‘ I should have thought you would have come into the tent to display the wound received in the lady’s cause.’ But there, bless you ! that wasn’t all 2 I saw Mrs. Maine talking to her sister in a quick earnest sort of way, and they both seemed outot sorts ; and the colonel swore at the tent-men, and bullied the adjutant, and dropped on to us, finding fault with the men’s belts, and that up- set the sergeants. Then some of the baggage didn’t start right, and Lieuten- ant Leigh had to be taken to task by Captain Dyer, as in duty bound ; while, when at last we were starting, if there wasn’t a tremendous outcry, and the young colonelâ€"little Cock Robin, you know â€" kicking, and screaming, and fighting the old black nurse, because he mightn’t draw his little sword,and march alongside of Harry Lant l_ NEW, I’m very particular about put- ting all this down, because I want you to see how we all were one with the other, and how right through the battalion little things made us out of sorts with one another, and hardly friendly enough to speak, so that difl‘erence may strike you, and you may see in a stronger light the alteration and the behaviour of the people when trouble came. All the same, though, I don’t think it’s possible for anybody to make a long march in India without getting out of temper. It’s my belief that the grit does it, for you do have that terribly; and What with the heat, the dust, the thirst, the government boots, that always seem as if made not to fit anybody, and the grit, I believe even a regiment all chaplains would forget their trade. Tramp, tramp, tfamp, day after day, and nearly always over wide, dreary, dusty plains. Now we’d pass a, few I left off at my chapter saying how I felt being tied down to one spot, as I kept guard there; and perhaps every- body don’t Enowvthat a sentry’s duty is to stay in the spot where he hais been posted, and that leaving it lightly might, in time of war, mean death.- I should think I watched quite an hour wondering whether I ought to give any alarm; but I was afraid it mlght look foolish, for perhaps after all it might only mean a bit of a quarrel be- tween ofiicers ending in a duel. Now, after giving my word of honor to hold all that sacred, sOme people may think I’m breaking faith in telling what I saw ; but I made that right by asking the colonel’s leaveâ€"~he is a colonel now â€"-and he smiled, and said that l ought to change the names, and then it would not matter. I Begumbagh; AN EPISODE or THE INDIAN MUTINY. gzmmm. CEAPT ER V. Things were not long in settling down to the regular life ; there was a. little drill of a morning, and then, the rest of the day, the heat to fight with, which seemed to take all the moisture out of our bod- ies, and make us long for night. Our barracks took up another side of the square; and on the others were mos- ques and flat-roofed buildings, and a sort of bazaar; while all around stretched away, in narrow streets, the houses of what we men used to call the niggcrs. Though, speaking for myself, I used to find them, when well treated, a nice, clean, gentle sort of people. I used to look upon them as a big sort of children, in their white muslin and calico, and their simple ways of playing~like at living; and even now I haven’t altered my opini~ on of' them in general, for the great burst of frenzied passion that ran through so many of them was just like a childs un- controlled rage. I did not get put on as sentry once at the colonel’s quarters, but I heard a Women from Mrs. Bantem,‘ who used to wash some of Mrs. Maine’s fine things, the black women doing every- thing else; and she’d often have a good grumble about ' her fine ladyship,’ as she called her, and she’d pity her children. She used to pick up a great deal of inâ€" formation, and taking a deal of interest as I did in Miss Ross, I got to know that it seemed to be quite a settled thing be- tween her and Captain Dyer ; and Bad- tem, who got took on now as Lieutenant Leigh’s servzmt, used to tell his wife about how black those two used to seem one towards the other; And so the time went on in a. quiet, sleepy way, the men getting lazier every day. There was nothing to stir us, only now and then we’d have a good laugh at Measles, who’d get one of his nasty fits on, and swear at all the officers round, saying he was as good as any of them, and that if he had his rights he would have been an officer before them. Harry Lant, too, used to do his bit to make time pass away a little less dull, by sing- ing, telling stories, or getting up to some of his pranks with old Nabob, the ele- phant, making Chunder, the mahout, more mad than ever, for, no matter what he did or said, only let Harry make a a sort of queer noise of his, and just like great flesh mountain, that elephant would come. It didn’t matter who was in the way; regiment at drill, ofiicer, rajah, anybody, old Nabob would come Straight away to Harry, holding out his trunk for fruit, or putting it in Harry’s breast, where he’d find some bread or biscuit; and then the great brute would smooth him all over with his trunk, in a way that uSed to make Mrs. Bantam say, that perhaps, after all, the natives weren’t such fools as they looked, and that what they said about dead people going into animal’s bodies might be true after all, for, if the great overgrown beast hadn’t a soul of his own, and couldn’t think,she didn’t know nothing, so now then 1 CHAPTER VI. But it was always the same ; and though time was when I could have laughed as merrily as didihat little Jenny Wren of the Colonel’s at Harry’s antics, I couldn’t laugh now, because it always seemed as if they were made an excuse to get Miss Ross and her maid out with the children, A party of jugglers, or dancing-girls, or a man or two with pipes and snakes, were all very well ; but I’ve known clever parties come round, and those I’ve named would hardly come out to look; and my heart, I suppose it was, if it wasn’t my mind, got very sore about that time, and I used to get looking at Harry Lant as Lieutenant Leigh did at the captain. First of all, there came a sort of" shadowy7 rumor that something was wrong with the men of a native regiment had been shot downâ€"here, there, in all directions; and then we understood that we had taken for the flash of a solitary fire, was the firing of a big train, and that ‘ there was a. great mutiny in the land! They were all, of course, at the colonel’s quarters, a fine old palace of a place, with a court-yard and a tank in the centre, and trees, and a. flat roof, by the side of the great square; while on one side was another great rambling place, separated by a narrowish sort of alley used for stores and hospital purpos- es; and on the other side, still going along by the side of the great‘ market square, was another building, the very fellow to the colonel’s quarters, but sepe- rated by a narrow footway, some ten feet wide, and this place was occupied by the officers. But it was a dreary time that after all, one from which we were awakened in a sud_d_en way, that startled us to a man. But at last came the. day when we were crossing a great wide-spread plain, in the middle of which seemed to be a few houses. with something bright here and there shining in the sun ; and as we marched on, the cluster of houses appear- ed to grow and grow, till .we halted at last in a market square of a good sized town ; and that ni ht' we were once more in barracks. ' ut for my part, I was more gritty than ever; for now we did not see the colonel’s lady or her sister, though I may as Well 0% that there was some one with them that I wanted to see more than either. muddy paddy‘fields, or come upon a river, but 'not often ; and many a time I used to laugh grimly to myself, as I thought what a very different place hot, dusty, dreary India was, to the glorious country I used to plcture, all beautiful trees and flowers, and birds with dazzling plumage. There are bright places there, no doubt, but I neVer came across one. and my recollections of India are none of the most cherry. I think I’ve said that Colonel Maine was a little easy-going, pudgy man, with with a red face; but just then, as he i stood holding Captain Dyer’s hand, a change seemed to come over him; he I dropped the hand he had held, tightened his sword-belt, and then took a step for- ward, to stand thoughtful, with despatch- es in his left hand. It was then that I 1' saw in a moment I had wronged him, and I felt as if I could have gone down on the ground for him to have Walked over ' me, for whatever he mi ’ht have been in peace, easy-going, care ess, and fond of, idleness and good-livingâ€"come time for action, there he was with the true British oflicer flashing, out of' his face, his lips pinched, his eyes flashing, and a stern look upon his countenance that I had i never seen before. There were not many English resi- dents at Begumbagh, but what there were came into quarters directly; and the very next morning we learned plalnly enough that there was danger threatening our place by the behaviour of the natives, who packed up their few thmgs and filed out of the town as fast as they could, so 15571372“ noonday' the " fidmf, ‘fflhfiwfifs‘ deserted, and save the few we had in quarters, there was not a black face to be seen. The next minute she gave Measles a slap on the back as echoed through the place, sending him staggering forWard ;‘ but he only laughed and said: ‘Praise the saints, I ain’t Bafite‘m.’ There Was a fine deal of excitement, though, now. The colonel seemed to wake up, and with him eVery ofiicer, for we expected not only new but ordch every moment. Discipline, If I may say so, was buckled up tight with the tongue in the.lsst hole; provisions and water were got in ; sentries doubled, and a strange feeling of distrust and fear came upon all, for we soon saw that the people of the place hung away from us, and though, from such an inoffensive looking lot as we had about us, there didn’t Seem much to fear, yet there was no knowing What trechery we might have to encounter, and as he had to think and act for others beside himself, Colonel Maineâ€"God bless him â€"- took every possible precaution against danger, then hidden, but which was likely to spring into sight at any moment. The next morning came without news ; and I was orderly, and standing waiting in the outer court close behind the colonel, who was holding a sort of coun- cil of war with the oflicers, when a sen- try up in the broiling sun, on the roof, calls out that a horseman was coming; and before very long, covered with sweat and dust, an orderly dragoon dashes up, his horse all panting and blown; and then coming jingling and clanking in with those spurs and that sabre of his, he hands despatchcs to the colonel. I hope I may be forgiven for what I thought then, but as I watched his ruddy face, while he read those despatches, and saw it turn all of a sickly, greeny white, I gave him the credit of beingacoward; and I was not the only one who did so. We all knew that, like us, he had never seen a shots fired in anger; and some- thing like an angry feeling of vexation came over me, I know, as I thought of what a fellow he would be to handle and risk the lives of the four hundred men under his charge at- Begumbagh. ‘ D'yer think I’d look like tbat ?’ says a voice closa to my car just then. ‘D’yer think if I’d been made an oflicnr, I’d ha’ shewed the white feather like that ‘2’ And turning round sharp, I saw it was Measles, who was standing sentry by the gateway ; and he was so disgusted, that he spat about in all directions, for he was a man who didn’t smoke, like any other Christian, but chewed his tobacco like a sailor. ' ‘ I think we can let 'epl know," what’s what, though, my lads’ if they come here,’ he' says with a grth smile ; when Mrs. Bantem, whose breath Seemed/quite taken away before by the way he talked jumped up quite happy-like, laid her great hand upon‘ his left side, and then, turning to us, she says; ‘It’s a beating strong.’ ‘ Dyer,’ says the colonel, the next mo» ment, and they closed up together, but close to Where we two stoodâ€"‘ Dyer,’ he says, ‘ I never felt before that it would be hard to do my duty as a soldier; but, God help me, I shall have to leave Annie and the children.’ There were a couple of tears rolling down the poor fellow’s cheeks as he spoke, and he took Captain Dye_r’s lland._ ‘ Look at him ! Cuss him I’ whispers Measles again; and I kicked out sharp behind, and hit him in the shin. ‘ He’s a pretty sort of a’ â€"He aidn‘t say any more just then, for, like me. he was staggered by the change that @091; Blace. _ ‘ Measles’ heart,’ says Mrs. Ban‘teifi; ‘ and I always knew it was in the right plagg.’ ‘What is ‘2’ says Bantam, looking puzz_l§d. » - - I don’t think there were many who did not realise the fact that something awful was coming to pass. Measles grim ned, he did, and said that there was going to be an end British tyranny in India, and that the natives were only going to seize their own again; but the next minute, although it was quite clean. he takes his piece out of the rack, cleans it thoroughly all (Wet again, fixe the bayonet, feels the point, and then stands at the “ pnes'ent l’ ,~ And not, mind,‘the mutiny or riot of a mob of roughs, but of men drilled and disciplined by British ofiicers, with lead- ers of their own caste, all Well armed and provided with amunition; and the talk round our m'ess when we heard all this was, How will it end ? .fi‘lany a man who is courteous in, place of business and in the drawingmom seems to forget the comfort of others while in the street, especially when he is in haste.

At the conclusion of the speech, a gen; tleman present rose to his feet." and said : “ I trust the gentleman, in the application of his remark, refers to his own mother and sisters, not to ours." The effect of this most just and timely rebuke was overwhelming, the maligner of women was covered with confusion and shame: This incident serves an excellent purpose in pretacing a few words which we have for a long time had it on our mind to say. Of all the evils prevailing among young men we know‘ of none‘ more blightin'g in its moral effects than the tendency to speak slightingly of the virtue of woman. Nor is there anything in which young men are so thoroughly mistaken as the low estimation they form‘ of the integrity of womanâ€"snot of their own mothers and sisters, thank God, but of others,- who‘; they‘ forget, are somebody else’s mothers and sisters: As a rule,- no per- son who surrenders to this debasing“ habit is safe to be trusted with any enterprise? requiring integrity of character.
