COLONEL HILSON.

A STORY OF WATERLOO,

Oh the heart that has truly loved, never forgete,
But as fondly loves on to the close Moone,
Tam the second son of Sir Philip Hilson ;
iny elder brother, the baronet, and L were
the sole issue of Sir Philip's marriage. My
father and brother have been long dead;
and my orphan nephew (a minor) and
mysell are all that survive of that ancient
hame,
My early history is so closely interwe-
en with my father’s, that [ must deseribe
im. Atthe time [last suv him he was

1 his fiftieth year—a man of eccentric
fopinions, and stern, uncompromising tem-
per. In his youth he had been a busy,
bustling intriguer in polities, and had so
agenlully Iniured his property by election
it by meaus of a wealthy alliance with nj
mother, Llow two such beings could come
together is marvellous: the one seemed to |
be the hottest production of the tropic)
un; and she, the offspring of an iceberg.
Lhave often thought that Sheridan and my
father were intimate; for Sir Anthony Ab-
solute, in ** The Rivals,” was but a soften-|
ed portrait of Sir Philip.
Different as were my parents, there was
a comparative difference between ty bro-
ther and ine. Thomas was a quiet, tame-
spirited, milk-and-water character; he was
the counterpart of his mother, and she
literally doted on him, As to mysell, 1
believe she did not dislike me; but she cer-
tainly never wasted a thought on what 1
did, or what T should herealter do, Not
so my father; Twas honored with a due
share of his attention (forhe neyerminded |
my brother). Every day I was scolded or
ehastised, right or wrong; and the sun
never set without my having received
some personal fuyor in the shape of an
oath or blow, I pass over my infancy,
and now imagine me fifteen years old.
The family estate was entailed, and, of
course, devolved upon my brether; anda
valuable chureh preterment being in our
witt. Twas destined to possess it.
My education for a churchman was after
he peculiar system of my worthy father. |

The only accomplishment that I can re-
member to have learned from Sir Philip
was the art and mystery of making a turi
fire. Poor ‘Tom's nervous habits prevent-
ed him from being employed ; for he never
took the tongs in his hands, that his dread
of my father did not occasion the fall of «
peat, to the imminentperil of the baronet’s
gouty toe.

The cloth was removed, and I was sum-
moned to my duty. I had approiched
awfully close to Sir Philip, when the head
groom came in and whispered him. My
hand trembled, my fiee grew pale, as he
bellowed, + Blood and thunder!” [thought
fom would have fainted. * Who broke
her knees, you raseal ?”

**Tecan't tell,” said the groom. ‘ Mr.
Thomas rode her out quite well in the
morning.”

‘Ay, you nincompoop,” returned my
futher, :

business, with her usual provoking ealm

There was no misunderstanding my father.
I accordingly retired, wondering what
kind of & man Sir Humploew was.

I pass over two years. My entrance
into the Dublin University was fixed for
theensuing month, butcireumstanees gave
my lile a very opposite color; and now J
mustintroduce you to the only two beings
whom IT may say Lever loved. The one
was my kinsman, Arthur Ifilson, and the
other, Emma Folingsby, the daughter of
a deceased oficer,

Arthur was the only child of my unele,
Ilis futher made an imprudent mateh, and
died of a broken heart betere my kinsman
was born. ‘The widow did not long sue-
vive him, and the orphan fell to the pro-
tection of Sir Philip, Whether it was to
Arthur's destitution or some superior
qualifications he possessed that my father's

know not; but certainly be trated hin

and, tinder these instructors, IL haye some |
doubts whether I should have attained |
much eminence as a theologian. |
A circumstance oceurred about this time |
which will mark the state of the fiumily of
Ililson Hall. ‘Tom had seareely nerve to
ride a donkey; but, from his childhood, a
pair of horses had been kept solely for his?
use; while I was obliged to follow the
hunt on foot, or get an old ring from the
huntsman or whipper, ‘St. Stephen’s
day, that blessed morn,” as the old batlad
goes, L was in the field, with nothing to
depend on but my own supple legs; for,
on that grand day, my friends, the gentle-
men of the kennel, would have sooner
part with their lives than their cavalry,

had ventured out to Took at the hint, aud

indeed a fine creature. ILis character one
of quict decision; bismanners pavdioularly
Diand; but, with oxternal gentleness,
there was much manly feeling in Arihu
Llilson. His character, indeed. was un-
known, until an incident called his Jatent
spirit out.
In one of those afflictions of Treland, a
oneral election, Sir Philip must, forsooth,
usdit was his wont,” interfere: and any
interference of his Was sure to create con-
fusion to all parties, He said something
harsh to a young gentleman, which drew
forth a rejoinder that my father called an
insult. Away he posted for his friend md
pistels; forationg his numerons virtues,
itis but common justice to say, that he
was always ready to fight for any quarrel,
or for no querrebat al,

Arthur happened to be fortimately at the
elections ad promptly walling on the
gentleman, pointed: ont the fhequality of

himself—and the galloping of horses made
his mare so uneasy that he dismounted,

At this moment the fox broke cover, and
the hounds made a gallant burst froin the
coppice beneath us. Wuman nature could
not bear it, I sprang on Tom's mare,
seized the bridle, and, with a shout ot de-
light, was ina second across the fence and
Mongside my worthy friends the huntsman
and whipper, The chase was long and
sharp; and, unfortunately, Tom's mare
not being in wind, made a mistuke at the
last Jeap, and a broken knee was the re-
sult,

Trembling for the consequences of ny
rashness, Lhad scarcely time to change
my clothes before the dinner bell rang,

directed me, and when employed search-

opened, and my mother sailed in.

A voluntary call from the good lady was
so extraordinary that Sir Philip immediate-
