‘our of what he might very likely mistake for @ preventive-se vice outpost. Nor was the master of this place less likely to be re- marked than his house, Captain Lefever has lately died, at the age of eighty-five ; but up to the last, Time was unable to bend his towering bead, or witber bis stalwart frame. His proportions, indeed, were al- most gigantic, being six feet four in height, and yet of such breadth and depth, that be did not strike the eye so much as a tall as a His hair, bushy eyebrows, moustache and whiskers, were silver white, his forebead and mouth fur- rowed with wrinkles, his eyes keen as a hawk’s, deep set in his head; altogether his appearance was calculated to attract notice anywhere; even in the crowded thoroughfare of a great city, your eye would have been arrested by his form, and you would have said: ‘What a splendid old mau!’ For we always feel an interest in one who seems to be making a good fight of it with the common enemy of all of us—Time.

Bus the most attractive part about Cap- tain Lefever was the mystery in which he was enveloped. He was unwilling to make any one’s acquaintance, which, of course, gave rise to a great anxiety on the part of his neighbours to make his; a desire, how- ever, which remained uniformly ungratified, | for during some fifty years’ residence in that part of the country, be bad not made a single friend. He went regularly to church, and had on more than one occasion required medical assistance, yet neither the clergy- man nor the doctor had got beyond the most formal bowing acquaintance with him. Yet he did not look like a madman, a miser, nd a misanthrope : he was cleanly in his per- | sou, neat in his dress, and wandered about | with bis book, his pipe, and his large New- | fuur.diand dog, in a rational manner enough. | He seemed particularly fond of children, and would watch them playing on the beach by the hour together; nor were his pockets ofieu devoid of sweetmeats for the rich, and half-pence for the poorer little ones, who

all attempts, and they were several, made by parents to stalk his friendship meee cover of their children, failed ignominiously. Who was he? What was he? Why! did he thus keep himself secluded? Some of the more curious visitors at Shingleton have ere now fretted themselves into fevers in the endeavour to solve these questions. Endless were the theories, romantic the

aud—at all events in matters connected with mercantile affairs—wise.’ But there was a cloud upon his brow this evening, as he sat with his eyes fixed apon a newspaper which he saw not. Mrs. Trevor, a buxom, sweet-faced lady, some five years his junior, Sat opposite, her fingers busy with tambour- work, aud her eyes glancing up anxiously now and then ather busband’s face. Laura Trevor, a charming girl of eighteen, was! seated at the table, painting butter-fles on a hand-screen, an employment which, by | causing her to bend her head forwards, | would have enabled any one standing op-| posite to observe the delicious effect of ber long black eyelashes upon her soft peach cheeks,

There was evidently a gloom over the party, allof whom kept for some time a silence, which Mra. Trevor was the first to

* And there is no news of him ?’ she asked her husband.

* None,’ replied Mr. Trevor, laying dowe the paper.

‘This Bow Street runner whom you em- ployed, aud who gave us such hopes’

* Was mistakea ; got upon a wrong scent. It seems that there are other fothers cursed with undutiful sons, and the ycaung man he (raced was not our William.’

There was a pause. ‘I did hope,’ said Mrs. Trevor at length, ‘that the announce- went of his sister’s marriage would have brought come word from him; be was al- ways so fond of Laura.’

The girl said nothing, but without raising her head, continued her occupation. Pre- sently, @ large drop fell on the wing of a butterfly, and spoiled the Jabour of an hour.

It was asad story, not, alas! a strange one. A wealthy, industrious, indulgent fa- ‘ther; a spendthrift, idle, spoiled sou. Spoiled ? Well, [ do not know; there are so many cant phrases in circulation, which always turn up on such occassions. If a scapegrace is kindly treated ia childhood, the parents have * pickled a rod for their own backs,’ If they have been strict with him : ‘It is bad to keep the bow always bent ;’ ‘Severity begets hypocrisy ;' ‘The poor young man was driven away from his home,’ &e. If be has been brought up at a public school: ‘What could the parents expect, after having exposed him to temptations at! so early an age?’ If, on the contrary, he} has been educated by a private tutor: ‘A> young maa is sure to go wrong if he is) plunged into the world at an age when all | his passions are ripe, without avy previous | experience or training; it is better to let him mix as a boy with other boys; no/| greater mistake than to make him a green- | hora and a milksop; such are always the) worst, when at last they do break out.’

Take a clique of fast young men, whose vices are a source of sorrow to their friends, aod confer separately wiih the parents of each individual member; I will wager a dinner at Greeowich to a red herring that they will tell you their particular son * got into bad company,’ and * was led away by the rest.’ And yet, in ninety cases out of a handred, the scamp has plotted, and in- trigued, and taken infinite pains to gain a@- mission into the ‘set’ with whom he has trod the paths that lead to grief.

* Put off!"

‘Yes. hese Irish riots are of a more serious character than was at first supposed ; the whole country is up, and the few troops over there will have enough to do.’

* But L thought that you were fixed here on the reerviting service” cried Mrs. Tre- vor, letting ber bands and the tambour-work fall into her lap.

‘So I was, and #tended to send off a batch of fifty recruits to-morrow, or rather to-aight, with Johnson; butas the regiment isa: W + be would have to march through the wildest and most disturbed dis- tricts on his way to head-quarters; and, Johnson, though a good officer enough, is but a lad of eighteen, so I think it better to leave him here, and take them myself. It is @ great nuisance, but it cannot be helped ; ean it, sir ?

* No, Lefever; you are quite right—you must go.—Come, come, Laura, don’t ery. He will be back presently ; it is only defer- ring the marriage for a few weeks.’

‘OQ papa, those horrid Irish! [am sure he will be getting killed, or something.’

‘Killed? Ha, ha, ha—killed !’ laughed Lefever with genuine mirth. *‘ That would be an ignominious death — something like being drowned in a gutter, or run over by a donkey-cart. Come, Laura, your fears are absurd. Ten soldiers are good against a thousand of this undisciplined rabble. There is no personal danger; but a good deal of activity and vigilance will be required to keep these lads, who are all recruits, toge- ther. Many of them are of Lrish extrac- tion, and might be enticed by their friends or relations to desert; or if they straggled from the main body, or got intoxicated, they might be murdered in detail. That is why I am going—not for fear of seeming to shirk ‘ active service,’ for, as for any idea of dan- ger, it is simply ridiculous; unless, indeed, you fear that I should succumb to the sea- sickness while crossing, aud of this | own that | stand in considerable trepidation, for Lam a miseruble sailor.

He has been making the guineas fly, und is too high- spirited to come home and eat humble pie, and | like him the better for it. Depend upon it, he is longing to be here all the time."

So he chatted on, striving to cheer them up, for several hours, and then looking at his watch, he suddenly sterted up, and eried: ‘We are to drop down with the tide, 80 | must be on beard by one !’
