As a dashing cavalry officer and ter- rible swordsman, he had won a great reputation, slicing his enemies likei cucumbers, while retaining the cool- ness of those vegetables; yet Mrs. Rayner ruled him. » “By-tHe-by, Robert,” he addgd to me, “ you are coming to us tonight; that is ,éapital; Iyou Gail driv‘e Mr. .Saurin over.

And when it was remarked that Sir Peter Snaffies was about to give up the hounds, he said that he should not mind hunting the county himself. Imagine a stranger introduced into the Carlton. and proposing himself identicaily as leader of the conservar tive party, and you may form some idea of the effect produced. y In the evening there was a large dinner party, and the new comer was introduced to several of the county magnates. I. do not think he'suc- ceeded so well with them as he ha with the Rayner-s, who were predis- poscd in favor of Ono who brought a letter of introduction from the son and brother in India. * Our landed people are under the impression that all per- sens who havenot the advantage of belonging to the country, should show some sense of that misfortune in a subdued manner; and this young Next day, he rose ratlmrin my esti- mation.- I received a letter from Cash, Cross & Dorser, the great London firm, placing ‘five ltundred pounds to the credit of Mr. Phillip Saurin ; and a balance does make a difference. He looked into the office in the course of the morning, asked whether the "ineney had arrived, and took a cheque- book. That afternoon he installed himself in Col. Rayner’s house. Sauri n liiaoww approved of Peepio ; at least I am informed that the horriâ€" ble slangy plu‘zhe which he applied 10 her as l dame him home that night was intended to be complimentary. “Rather a fetching girl that " was his familiar observation. I made no reply “Anyhow, he great fun,” said she. But I could not sees it." “He is not my friend; I know nothin ~01" him,”l replied, in atone so unlike my ordinary ’mild accents, that Mrs. Rayner stared.

And when the difficulty about luggage was voted fatal to that plan, she in- sisted on his becoming a pcrmanom guest on the very next day. I could not give 1 ss than he did, situ- ated as I was; S I put a good face onthe matter (at least I hoped so; I tried), and inscribed my name for an- other hundred at once. But this had not the same effect. It was a matter of course that I should subscribe, while the stranger’s generosity was spon~ taneous and unexpected. g This was not the firs} time that I had heard '0? the proposed asylum; butI had hitherto putofi‘ tho question of becoming :L patron, though fully expecting to have to part with a ten- ‘pound note Some day. And now this confounded fellow has gone and bulled the market in that recklgsa fashion.

Saul-in took an intense interest in the subject at once. autumn feeling, it is the sensu‘tion of half sadness that we experience when the longest day of the year is passed, and every day that follows is shorter, and the night fainter, and the feebler shadows tell Nature is hastening with gigantic footsteps to her winter grave. So does man look back upon his youth. When the first gray hairs become visible, when the unwelcome truth fastens igself upon the mind that a. man is no longer going;r uphill, but down, and that the sun is always westering, _he looks back on things behind. When we were children we; thought as children. But now there lies before us manhood, with its} earnest work, and then old age, and then the grave, and then home. There is a second youth for man, bet- ter and holier than the first, if he will look on and not look back. It is the solemn thought, connected with middle life, that life’s lust busi- nosa is begun in earnesn; and it is then, midway bot-ween the cradle and the grave, that a man begins to mar- vel that he lets the of youth go by so half enjoyed. ]t is the pensive That he did not, saved the bank the better part of five hundred pounds, though, personally, the fellow let me in for that hundred which he was the cause of promising to the idiot asyâ€" lum. Mrs. Rayner tried to k, second hundred out of me, on the plea that I ought to be “responsible for my friend; buttho Colonel inter- fered for once, and said it was too bad. My. wifeâ€"that is, Pccpieâ€"declares that she $21W through the impostor at once, and of course I am bound to believe her. You may do as you like. It turned out that lie real name was Purvisx. Ho had really been in the SCl‘Yll‘U «inc-e, but had turned out of it l'or dishororalsle pun-time. After that, he had got some clerk's appoint- ment at Calcutta, and losing it in due course, had returned to England at the same time as Saurin, with whom he had so 'aped acquaintance. On the journey home, Suuriu fell ill with fever, and had to stop at Mai-ceilles, and Pu ‘VlS was brute enough to take advantage of his helplessness, and steal he portmanteau and desk, which enabled him first to learn his 1affairs and arrangements and then‘ to personale himâ€"with a View of getting hold of the five hundred pounds. Luck had favored him immensely. Smu'in’s reason for wishing to go to Soer directly he reached England, and for previding himself with a let- ter 01' introduction to Colonel Ray- ner, frrrzu his brother-officer, Charles, was, that he had set his affections on ayoun‘gr lady whom he had met in India, and u ho was nowresiding with her family near Soyle. Had these people been at home, the impostor would have Lcezi discovered at once. As it was, he got a clear week; and why he did not make off before, I cannot imagine. “ Oh, I noticed a man who seemed to conceal his face from me very care- fully; no doubt the rascal who stole imy ortmautcau an Marseilles. We had 'eLter stop him at once and ex- plain afterwards.” I caught up my hat, and darted oii' toward the station. followed by the now Mr. Sum-in. He had not intio- duced himself quite so rapidly as it appears on paper, and No. 1 Saurin having a ily waning for him at the lung and :J u station being more than :i quarter of a mile off, he had a good i start.

At that moment, a stranger came in and asked for me. I stepped forwardand invited him to enter my room. He was a gentlcmamy looking fellow here ‘in a day'or two. Byâ€"the-by, I wish you would let me know when it is paid in.” ‘ “ Awful bore,” he said, but it can't be helped. I am afraid I shall have to go on 10 Paris, and may not be back for a couple of months. How- ever, then 1 shall settle; Sinis is in treaty to buy Caw-caw Lodge for me.

Thinking to save expense, we concluded to furnish our own bed, put up in a facant house rented for house-keeping purposes when our better-hall returns. The house was formerly occupied by ‘ail- road boarders. About rive minutes alter retiring we experienced a feel- ing of a dozen or more needles prick- ing different parts of the body at the same time. Our hands were passed spasmodieally about to ascertain the cause, but we could feel nothing un- usual. Just then the printer who banked with us began a series of quick, convulsive movements, reachâ€" ing for his shoulder with one hand and his left loot vith the other at the same time, changing hands about every eeeend, and twisting his body like a streaked. snake in the grass. 'l'hinking he had an attack ofSt. An- thony's dance. we amse and lit the lamp. The printer said he felt better, but there was somethingin the bed. Cautiously turning down the bed- L-lothes, we discovered what seemed to be a quantity of onion seed nicely distributed over the sheet. Immedi- ately the seeds commenced dancing like kernels of pop-corn on a hot griddle. Simultaneously we shouted “ Fleas l” , There they were, great'hungry fol- lows, that probably had had nothing to out since the 'ailroad hands left," some three weeks before, and they didn’t seem at all inclined to run. Not until we had killed seventy-three of the varmints 'did they beat a reâ€" treat. After clearing the bed and sighting through one or two unmen- tionable garments for the twentieth time, we again sought a horizontal position, hoping soon to forget our troubles in refreshing sleep. Vain hope. Searcer had the lamp been extinguished before the implacable fee again assembled in myriads, and commenced an onslaught upon our persons compared with which the first was scarcely a foreiaste. All at once we thought of a method of de- fense which promised success. We would try kerosene. Quietly the burner was removed from the lamp, lingers were dipped in the unusually repulsive fluid, and we began our kerosene bath. The neck and one shoulder were nieer saturated, when there came to our mind the horrid remembrance of: a kerosene incident, which filled us with dismay. Our big L,,,4! I Marshall is full of fleas. Every new town has them. They are the aborigines of the country. They contend for their old stamping grounds with more persistence than the wily savage. Though alittleless dangerous, fleas' are of nearly the same color as the 'lndian, and possess many Indian traits of character, prin- cipal among which is their-uneasi- ‘ ness. Fleas have a. special fancy for ‘Women, small children and dogs. Fleas much dislike the smell of to- bacco and Whisky, and hence seldom l trouble :1 man. In their tastes they are much unlike the Indian. To cap- ture and execute a‘ flea confers more happiness upon‘ a representative of the female sex than Wearing anew bonnet it; a crowd for the same length of time.

From the time the colt is born he should be taught to regard man, whom he is afterwards to serve, as his pro- tector and friend. A human band should first lift him gently to his feet, and direct his little mouth to the source of maternal nourishment. With the human touch he should thus early be made to associate caresses :md a supply for all his wants. In- stend ot'yells and oaths and kicks and rnde blows, he should hear only gen. tlo, loving; tones from the attendant’s nrmth, and l‘iettiiigs from his kindly palm. He should be taught to expect and watch ior man’s entrance to the stall or paddock where he is kept, as a dog waits for the coming of the mas- ter, as the season of joy and happiness.

That the painter had such a domestic would seem feasible from another of Dick- ens’s stories about Lendseer. The author and the artist were dining to- gether, when a servant entered and calmly inquired: “If you please, Sir Edwin, did you order a lion 7” The horror of Dickens may be imaginedâ€" :he gardens of the Zoological Society not being far distant; but it was no live lion that the servant was inquir- ing about.
