BY MRS. KA'.l‘HARI;\'E A. IVARE.
An htfntit was playing among the flowers,

To mark the artless joy and blooming grace

Next Boyhood followed, with his shontof glee,
Elastic step, and spirit wild and free
As the young fawn. that scales the mountain
height,
Or new fledged cnglet itt his sttnwartl flight ;
Time cast a glance ttpon the careless boy,
\Vho frolic.-k'tl onward with a bound ofjoy!
Tltcn Youth came forward; ltis bright glancing
eye
Seemed a reflection oftlte cloudless sky!
The dawn of passion, in its purest glow,
Critnsonetl his cltcck, and hentnctl ttpott his brow,
Giving expression to his blooming litce,
And to its fragile form a manly grace; _
His voice was harmony, his speech was truth—-
Titne lightly laid his hand ttpott the youth.
llfanltood next followed, in the sunny prime
Of lift.-’s meridian bloom ; all the sublime
And bcttutiful ofuature tnct his view,
Brightcnetl by Llttpe, whose radiant pencil drew
The rit.-h perspective of a scene as fair
As that which smiled on Eden's siuless pair;
Imve, fame, rind glory, witlt alternate sway,
Tltrillttd his warm heart, and with electric ray
llllltttlnfitl his eye, yet still a shade oft‘ trc,
Like a light cloud that floats itt summer air,
\Vonld slted at times a transitory gloom,
But sltztdowcd not one grace of mainly bloom.
Time. sighcd,tts on his polished brow lte wrought
The first impressive line ofcare and thought.
Mtztt in his proud maturity comes next;
A hold review cflife, from the broad text
Of Nutttre's am plo volutne! He had scanned
Iler varied page, and a high course had planned;
ilttntbled ambition. \vcaltlt‘s deceitful smile,
The loss of friends, disease, and mental toil,
Had l.'l!t!tCl}Ct.l his cheek, and ditnmcd his ardent
eye,
lint spared his noble spirit's energy!
(;‘od's proudest stamp of intellectual grace
Still shone uncloutlcd on his care-worn face!
On his high brow still sate the firm resolve
Ofjttdgntcttt deep, whose issue might involve
A n2ttion's fntc. Yet thouglttsof tnilder glow
\Voul«l oft, like sunbe;tmso’er a mound ofsnow,
Upon his cheek their genial influence cast,
\Vhile tnusirtg o’er the bright or shadowy past;
Time, as he tnnrked his noblest victim, shed
Tlte frost of years upon his honored head.
Lost came, with trembling limbs and bending
fortn.
Like the old oak sratltcl by the wintry storm,
Man, iii the last frail stage of human life;
Rea.-ott's proud triutttph, passions wiltl control,
No more dispute their trtns.cry o‘er his soul!
As rest the hillows on the sea-beat shore,
The war of rivalry is heard no tnore;
Faith's steady light alone illumcs his eye,
For Time is pointing to Eternity!

Extracts frotn the Diary of a Pltysicittn.
Ducllittg.
I had been invited by young Lord , the
nobleman mentioned in my former chapter, to
spend the latter part of my last college vacation
with his lordship at his shooting box in ——
shire. As bisdcstincd profession was the army.
he had already a tolerably numerous retinue of
military friends several of whom were ettgnged
to join us on our arrival at ; so that I an-
ticipated a very jovial season. Our expectations
were not disappointed. \Vha: with sltooting.
fishing. and riding nbroad—bil|iards. songs, and
high feeding, at home, ottr days and nights
,-zlided as merrily away as fun and frolic could
make them.
amusement devised by our party. was giving a
sort of military subscription ball at the small
town of , frotn which we were not distant
more than four or five miles. All of my Lord’s
party of course, were to be tltere, as well
as several others of ltis friends. scattered at a lit-
tlc distance frotn him it) the country.
There was one girl there-daughter of a
reputable tradesman—of singular beauty, and
known itt the ncigltborbond by the name of ‘ The
Blue Bellof .’ Ofcourse she was the ob-
ject of universal admiration, and literally be-
sieged the whole evening with applications for
the ‘honor of her hand.’ I do not exaggerate,
when I say, that in my opinion. this young
woman was perfectly beautiful. Her complex-
ion was of dazzling purity and transparency—
lter symmetrical features of a placid bust like
character, which. however, wottld have been
considered insipid, had it not been for a pair of
large, languislting, soft blue eyes, resembling-
'Blue water lilies when the breeze
Maketh the crystal water round them tremble,’
which it was almost madness to look upon.
And tltcn her light auburn hair. which hung in
loose and easy curls. and settled on each clteek
like a soft golden cloud flitting past the moon!
I observed one of our party, a dashing young
captain in the Guards, highly connected, and of
handsome attd prepossessing person and man-
ners, and a gentleman, of nearly equal
personal pretensions, who had been invit-
ed frotn—— Hall, his father’s seat, to ex-
ceed every one present itt their attentions
to sweet Mary; and as she occasiotzally
smiietl on one or the other of the rivals.
I saw the countenance of either alternate.-
ly clottded with displeasure. The Captain was
soliciting her hand for the last set--a country
dnnce——whcn his rival, (whom for distinction's
sake, I shall call Trevor, though that,.ofcourse
is very far from his real namc,) stepping up to
her, seized her hand, attd said in a rather sharp
and quick tone, ‘ Captain, she has promised me
the last set, I beg therefore, you will resign her
—I am right Miss?’ he inquired ofthe girl. Wl10
blushittgly replied—‘I think I Jid promise Mr.
’I‘reitt)r—but I would dance with both if] could.‘
Captaimyou are not angry with me ; are you’?
site smiled appeasingly.
‘Certainly not, madam,’ lte replied, with a
peculiar emphasis ; and after directing an eye,
which kindled like a star to his more successful
rival, retired haughtily a few paces, and soon of-
One of the many schemes of
terwards left the room. A strong conviction
seized tne, that even this small and triflittg inci-
(lent wonltl be attended with mischief between
these two haughty antl Ut't(IlSCiplll2e(l spirits; for
I occasionally saw Mr. Trevortttrn a moment
frotn his beautiful partner, and cast a stern in-
quiring _2,l::l'..'C(3 round the room, as ifitt search of
the Captain. I saw he had noticed the haughty
frown with which the Captain had retired.
Most oftlte ,t_rentlcmcn who had accompanied
Lord to this ball were engaged to dine with
him the next Sunday evening. Mr. Trevor
and the Captain (who Itltink I’ tnentiottctl, was
stayinga few days with his lordship) would
meet at this party; and Idctermittcd to watch
their demeanor. Tlte Cztptaitt was at the
window, when Trevor, on ltorscbuck, attended
by his groom, aligltt-:-tl at the door; and on see-
ing who it vvn.-', walked away to another part of
the room. with an air of assumed ltt(IliIi.'t'(‘ttt:C;
but Icattgltt his quick and restless glance in-
vnriablytlirectetl at the door through t=/hiclt Tre-
vor wonldenter. They saluted each other with
('I\ ility —ruther coldly, I lllt)tl,'_'_ltl-iJl)l there was
nothing very pztrticularly tnnrlt‘t-tl itt the ch:ttztc-
ter nfcither. About twenty sat down to dinner.
All promised to go ofi well—for the cooking was
adntirable—the wines first rate. and the conver-
satiou brisk anti various. The Captain and
Trevor were seated some distance [min each
otltt-:r—the former was tny neighbor, Thr-
clotlt was not removed till at few minutes after
eight when it dessert and a fresh and large sup-
ply of wine was introduced.
The late ball, of course, was a prominent
topic of conversation, and after a few of the
usual bachelor toasts had been drunk with noisv
etttltttsiasnt, and we all felt the elevating iti-
lluence of the wine we had been drinking.
Lord. stood up and stud. ‘Now my dear
fellows, I have a toast in my eye that will de-
light you all-—so bumpers, gentlemen-bumt»
t.-rs!——up to the very brim-—so make sure your
glasses are full—while I propose to yott the
health ofa beautiful—nay, hy—-the most beauti-
ful girl we have any of tts seen for this year-—
Ila! [see all anticipate me; so. to be short——
ltere is the health of Mary, The Blue Bell
of !' It was drunk with aeclamation. I
tltoughtl perceived the Captaiu’s hand, how-
ever, shake a little, as he lifted his glass to his
moutlt.
' VVIIO is to return thanks for her ?’ Her fa-
vorite. bean, to be sttre. ‘ ‘.Vlto is he?’ Legs,
_rise, legs, whoever he is!’ was shouted, asked
and answered, in a breath. ‘ Olt, Trevor is the
happy ntrii}; there's no doubt of that, for he
monopolized her all the (-vr=.i‘.i!'!,'_’,_- and I C0Ul(l "OI
get her ltand once,’ exclaimed one near Trevor-—
‘Nor I,’—‘ Nor I,’ echoed several. Mr. Trevor
looked with a delighted attt.l trit. ,':““I1l air
amond the room, and scctned about to rise, but
there was a cry. ‘No Trevor is out the man-—
I say the Captain is her favorttt.-2’ . 6 A_\.e_ ten
to one on the Captain !' roared a young l.~., ro of
Ascot. ‘StnfI—stufI!' muiteretl the Captain
hurriedly cutting an apple to fritters, attd every
now attd titen casting .a fierce glance. towards
Trevor". There were many noisy mountaineers
of botlt Trevor and the Captain. ‘ Cotnc come,
gentlemen,‘ said a young Cornish Baronet, good
ltumoredly, seeittg the two young men appeared
to view llt€.8II'z‘ll" very seriously; ‘the best way,
since I dare be sworn the girl herself does not
know which she likes best, will be to toss up
who shall have the credit ofhcr bean !’ A loud
lottglt followed this tlull proposal; in which all
joined except Trevor and the Captain. The
latter pottretl ottt some clnrct wine while the
Baronet was speaking. and sipped it with an air
of assumed carelessness. I observed, however,
that he never removed his eyes from his glas-
anti that his face was pale, as if frotn strong in-
ternal emotion. Trevor's demeanor, however,
also indicated considerable embarrassment ; but
he was older than the Captain. and had much
tnore command oftnanner. I was amazed, for
my own part, to see them take up such on in-
significant alliar so seriously; but these things
.g,enc-rally involve so mnclt oftlte strong passions
ofonr yotttltfnl nature, especially our vanity and
_icalousy, that on a second thougltt, my surprise
abated.
‘I ccrtainly fancied you were the favorite,
Captain; for I saw ltcr blush with satisfaction
when you squeezed her hand,’ I whispered.
‘You are right,‘ he answered with a forced
smile. ‘I don'tthink Trevor can have any
pretensions to lter favor.’ The noisiuess of the
party was now sttbsiding, and nobody knew why
an air of blank seemed to pervade all present.
‘ Upon my ltonor, getttlerrtett, this is a vastly
silly affair, altogether, attd quite unworthy such
a stir as it has excited,‘ said Mr. Trevor; ‘ but
as so much notice has been taken ofit, I cannot
help saying. though it is moustrously absurd,
perhaps, that I think the heautifulBlue Bell of
, is mine, mine alone! I believe I have
good ground for saying I am the sole winner of
the prize, and have distanced my military com-
petitor,’ continued Mr. Trevor, turning to the
Captain, with a grim air, which was very
foreign to his real feelings ‘though his bright
eyes, his debonair demeanor, that fascinatingjc
no sais quoi of ltis.
‘Trevor! don’t be insolem !’ exclaimed the
Captain. sternly, retltlettirtg with passion.
‘ Insclent! Captain? \Vhut the deuce do you
mean? l'tn sure yott don’t want to quarrel wi-It
ttte, oh, it’s impossible! If I have said what
was offensive, by I tlid not mean it. and as
we said at Rugby, imliclttmputa, and there's an
ettd of it. But as for my smart Blue Bell, I
|tnow——atn perfectly certain. alt, in spite of tie
Cnptnin’sdztrk looks, that I am thehappy titan.
So, gentlerneu. dcjztre and de fucto, for her, I
retnrtt you thanks. He sat down. There was
so mttclt kindness in his tnattner, and he had so
Itandsomely tlisnvmvetl any intett'ion of hurting
the Captaiu’s feelings, thatl hoped the young
Hntspur beside was quieted. Not so ltowever.
‘ Tt'evor,’ said lte iii a hurried tone, ‘you are
mistaken, you are. by ! You don’t know
what passed between ‘Mary and myself. that
evening. On trty word and honor, she told me
she wished she could leave offhcr engagement
with you.’
‘Nonsense! nonsense! She mttst have said
it to amuse you Captain; she could have had no
other intention. The very next morning she
ttild me’
‘ The very next morning!’ shouted the Cap-
tain. ~VVhy. what the could you have
wanted with Mary the next morning?’
‘ That is my affair, ‘Captain, not yours. And
since you will have. it out, I tell you, for your
own consolation, that Mary and I have met
every day since!’ said-Trevor loudly, and even
vehemently. He was getting a little flustered,

and, tfyou itttcttd to ruin that sweet and inno-

and deliberately. My hcatt flew up to my
throat. where it fluttered as though it woulil
have chucked me. There was in an instant it
dead silence.
‘ A 1’illtli‘I1. did yott say Captain? and accuse

Captain, firmlj.', ' and what thcrt ?’
‘ Then, of tit-ttrsc you will see the necessity of
apologizittu it.~= tantly,’ rcjoiuctl M r. Trevor.
‘ As I am ttot in the habit Mr. Trevor, ofS.ay-
ing what requires an apology. I have none to

in ltis chair, and eyeing Trevor with a steady
look ofcomposed intrephlity.
' 'l‘lttcn, Cttpt.'tin, don't expect me to apologize
for this!’ tntttzderetl M r. Trevor, and at the some

Citplt-tItI._S_ Itczttl. Part of the wine fell on me,
but the glttss glanced at the ear of the Captain,
and cut itsligittl t; for he started on :eeing Tre-
vor’s intention. A tnist seemed to cover my
eyes, as I saw every one present rising front his
chair. The room was of course in an ttprour.
The two who had quztrrellctl were the only calm
persons present. Mr. Trevor remztined standing
on the spot, with his arms folded on ltis breast ;
while the Captain calmly wiped offthe stains of
wine from his shirt. IUIIISS and white waistcoat,
walked up to Lord , who was but a yard or
two’s distance, and inquired in a low tone of
voice, ‘Your Lordship has pistols here. of
course? \Ve had better settle this little matter

‘ My dear fellow. be calm. This is really a

‘ Eternal curses on the silly slut !’ groancd his
Lordship; ‘here will be bloodshed for her; nay

he endeavored to draw ltitn towards the spot
where the Captain was standing.
‘ Your Lortlsltip is tery good, but it's useless,’
replied ’I‘rr.-vor. struggling to disengage his arm

a real nonchalertcel Somebody told him that
the Captain was one of’tlte best shots in Eng-
lattd—could hit a sixpence at ten yards dis-
tance. ‘Can he, by ?’ said lie, with a
smile, without the sliglttcst symptom oftrepida-
tion. ‘Why, then I may as well make my
will; I'm as blind as :1 mole! Ha! I have it.‘
' He walked out fro:n among those who were
standing round him. and strotle up to the Cap-
tain, who was conversing earnestly with one or
two of his brother olI‘icers.
‘ Captain,‘ said Trevor, firmly extcntling his
right hand, with his glove ltulf drawn on; the
Captain turned suddenly tnwnrtls him with :1
furious scowl. ‘ I'm told you are a dead shol—-
eh I’
‘ \Vell. sir, and what of that?’ inqttired the
Captain ltaughtily, and with sotne curiosity in
his countenance.’
‘You know I am short sighted, blind as nice-
tle, anti not very well used itt shooting matters.’
Every one present started, and loolted with'sur-
prise and displeasure at the speaker; anti one
muttered in his ear. elt—tl ., Trevor showing

‘-Why, what do yott mean by all tltis. sir?’
ittquired the Captain, with a contemptuous
sneer.
‘Oh merely that we ought not to light on ttn

continued elevating his voice to nearly a shout.

‘ Infamotts!’ ‘ Mortstrotts!’ was ccltocd front
all present. They would not, they said hear of
such butchcry! Eigltt or ten left the rootn
abruptly and did not return. The Captain
made no reply to 'l‘revor’s proposal, but was
L-()nvcr5ing,_V\'Ill1 his friends.
* Now. sir. who is the coward?’ inquired Tre-
vor, sarcastically.
‘A few moments will show,’ replied the Cap-
tain stepping torward with no signs of agitation.

to your terms, ruliianly and murderous as they
are; and tltecttrse ofa ruined house overwhelm

tain, who saw of course, that certain death was I
before both. ‘Are the pistols preparing?’ in-
quired Trevor without regarding the exc'atna-
tion. of the Captain. It was answered in the
aflirmative. that Captuitt V. and Sir--—. were
botlt absent on Ill.‘-ll errand. It was agreed that
the tlistressing 2‘-liitir should take place itt the

room. They both throw down the pistolstltey

swore they would have no concern whatever in
such a barbarous trattsncticn. A sttdrlen sug-
gestio I oflti.~: Lttrdsltip. ltt)we\'Ct', was tttlttptctl.
They agrectl after ntuclt ltcsitzttion and doubt as
to tltc success ofthe pr!.Ij:‘('!, to cltargc the pistols
with powder only. and pttt them into the hands
ofthe Captain and Trevor, as though they were
loaded with ball. I-Iis Lordship was sttuguine
enough to suppose that. when they had both
stood tire, and in:_li.cputably prn\‘t‘.tI their cottntge,
the allitir might be settled atnicablv. As soon
as the necessary preparations were COt‘npl- ‘ed,
and two dreary ligltts were placed itt the s‘ .m-
ittg gall.-ry, botlt the lto-rtile parties were sum-
moned. It was well known that I was prepar-
ing for the ntetlical profession, my services were
put in reqttisition for both.
‘ But have you any instrnmentor bandages ?’
inquired sonic one. '
' It is oflittle cortsequcnce—we are not likc-lv

whisper, which, though low, was heard over all
the room-—-‘ for, In this sort ofatiitir, if one fires a
second bet’-ire the other, beis a murderer.’ At
that moment there was noise heard-it was the
surgeon who had arrived, and now entered
breathless. ‘Step out; and give the word at

Cnptain and Nb‘. Trevor returned and shook
hands With a melancholy smile with their
friends, and then rttook their places. The gen-
tleman who was to give the signal then hlt’.i.tp(ttl

hands, said in a tremulous tone. ‘ Raise your

plorcd them to lie recottciled. as each had done
amply sufficient to vindicate their honor. Tre-
vor altnost gnasltcd his teeth with fury. There
was something fientlislt,I thought, in the ex-
pression of the countenance. ‘ It is easily
retnedictl’ said the Captain, as his eye caught se-
veral small swords hanging up. He took down
two. measured them. and pmlft-red one to his
antagrutist, who clutched it eagerly. ‘There
