As the fair occupant; of the carriage discovers her helpless con-l diLiOi], she gives one long, agonizing cry of despair, and sinks back upon the velvet cushions in a seraipunoon- soions oonditim. Tcnderly we raised the heroic man from the the ground. We start back with astonishment; how famil~ iur, despite the matted and clotted hair, his featuroslookl Is it possible?

And thus they have menâ€"the destroyer and destroyedâ€" ior the first time since that eventful night which proved oni‘hero’s ruin. Gently, at her command, was the unconscious form of Walter Chester lifted upand placed beside her in the carriage, which was driven to the judge's residence. The most skilled physicians were employed, who pro- nounced his 0: :e a critical one. His new us system had received a. severe shock, ihey said; besides his consti- tutien was broken by exposure and excessive debauchery. Careful nurs- ing, perfect and quiet and tender watching, were things most needed ed to insure his recovery. Great indeed was the astonishment which depicted itself upon lrene’s face, at discovering, in this fallen and piLiable Object before her, her former respectable acquaintance. As she gazed npen the inanimate and bruiSed form, she recalled the memory of that eventful night of her nineteenth birthday, and her heart smote her. She saw the great error she had committed, and, at this late hour she resolved to atone as 'far as she was able fo'lhthe great wrong she had done. Em-ncstly did Irene apply herself to the task before her; but it was a, laborious and woaried duty she had resolved to perform, and» many were the tedious days, ay, weeks, she strug- gled through, watching with the ’Tis a beautiful spring day as the narrator aligbts from the train at {11;} little railway station in \Valton.

And how much more com- plete than she could have anticipat- ed ! Instantaneously with the drinking of the wine the color suffused the checks of Walter and'mountod to his blue voincd temples with an electric force. The flash of his eye was more powerful and pel'ceptibleathe demon within him was aroused, and Walter Chester’s power was gone; and, when Irene’s victim left her father's mansion, he was carried out by fi'iulids‘dishonoredâ€"vdisgracedâ€" drunkâ€"lost to his friends, lost to nocioty, and lost to himsele ed; with more earnestness and zest info the pleasure of the evening.

Anoiher atrocious Englirh glutton ouee undertook to out as much trip as wouzd make himself a jacket with sleeves, and vas accord- ingly measured by a tailor who re- gularly cut out the materials, when, to general surprise, the voracious fellow ule up the whole in twemy minutes. Compared with these per- formances some of the current prodi- gies of gourmadism are as trifling in amount as they are tame and Unix - ventive in the character of their Cle- tails. Ve occasionally read of some feat of gournmndism which strikes proâ€" priety dumb, yet we must look across the water for championship in this particulnr. A Scotch paper tells of a Dundee laborer who announced him- self to eat twelve pics within twenty- iive minutes; and in fact. when the delicaci n were put before him in the shnpe of a six-pound pile, fourteen inches high, he consumed half a dozen in live minutes, and the next three at the end ol’ eleven minutes, and the Inst three in six minutes more, having ended his repeat eight minutes sooner than he designedâ€"â€" possibly owing to the pangs of hunger :since he expressed a willingness to nevupy the spnre moments with de- vouring another half dozen pies. Close on this incident follows an- other concerning 2!. supper eating by an Englishman, mnny‘wamagoâ€"for he lived to tell the title. llis iii‘bi} dish was two quarts of milk, thirty eggs, halfapound of butter, half at pound ()l's 1r, three penny loaves; n quan- tilyuf ginger and nutmeg, and an ounce of immtnrd, all boiled together; his second coma-e was “a piece 0t cheese and a pound of broad Lu it;" the third was half a pound of bacon, a penny louf‘and a quart 01' 310, ibi- To cap; the_ climax of theatrical audacity, the beneficiary, himself, between the pieces, stepped in front of the curtain with a pack of the re- jected tickets. in his hand, and in a most eloquent; speech, denounced the contemptible sconndrel or scoundrels who had attempted to injure him by ench outragegms imposition on the public. In the whole course of his professional experience, whether in iflngland, Australia, California or America, he had never been so gross- ly insulted, “ and” continued he, warming to his work, “if the cow- ardly blackgnard or blacflcgnards are in iront of this house to-night, I dare them to meet me at the door of the theatre, and I will give them each and all any satisfaction for the lanâ€" guage I have used. Aye,” he con- elnd *d, snaking his fist detiantly at a harmless medallion 0f Shakeapeare that decorated the front of the second tier, “and at any time and in any way they may select.” This pllicky'dcménsiréiion won all hearts, and prolonged applause greet- ed the injured stranger as he gs‘oudly, dcnaiitlyand slowly bowed himsch off. That young man has bi-en a financial success, and still lives “ a prosperous gentleman." To portrait the mingled phases of astonishment, anger, and honest in- dignation of theliberul patrons of the rustic drama when they were severally informed by the urbane and gentlemanly door-Keeper, that all those red tickets were frauds (and, indeed, as the reader knows his infor- mation was strictly true), is beyond the power of my feeble quill. As mostot‘ the young fellows were 9.0- rompanied by their sisters and sweethearts (for the simply of gra- tuitous pasteâ€"board had been diffused on a most liberal scale), it would seem shabby to back out without see- ing~ the show. So. with many 21 rue- l'ul expression while fumbling for evasive quarters, and many whisper- ed SUllCliallOlls for temporary accom- modations, they filed i*, pair after pair, and tilled the little theatre to its unnOst capacity. Stock actors in' the'a’mes, when al- lowed a benefit, make the most of it. 'The actor whose regular salary may be from ten to twentyâ€"five dol- lars per week, has, on this occasion, one half of the entire receipts of the house. He is supposed, through the influence of his friends, to increase those receipts to double What they usually are. To do this they must, unless they have a number, resort to expedients not usually recognized as legitimate. An actor in the West being given a benefit, issued a couple of thousand tickets entitling the bearer to “free admission to the boxes on his benefit night.” These tickets were assiduously dropped at ever ' cross road, tavern and grocery for some few miles in, the vicinity on the night previous to the benefit. The bait took ; and fellow sand their gals might have been seen advancing on the good old town “ere evening snadows tell.” The doors of the theatre were regularly besieged. by the pleasure-seekix‘ig rustics. When the doors were opened and a stout policeman or two had been prudently picketed at the point of entrance, a rush vas made in order to get the best seats in the house, as is always the case with your constitutional deudheud.
