MOONLIGHT ON THE RIVER.
Before us the River is flowing, .
In the soft balmy silence of Night,
And o'er it the young Moon is throwing
The beams ofher guivering light.
Now in shadow the waters run darkling,
\Vhere the hill rises high o'er the plain;
But soon they are dancing and sparkling
In the light of her glory again.
And what though the breezes bring o’er her

“Indeed,” said the Doctor, laughing
heartily.—-—“I have a most precocious sub-

you been doing in all your little life 1”
“Oh, sometimes one thing, and some-
times another.”
“But what were you doing last .7”
“Eating my breakfast at your expense,”
answered Pat. "
Helen laughed now, and so did her
mother, but the Doctor was puzzled, and
only muttered “So-o o,” as was his cus-
tom when in a quandary. Pat wasa more
curious specimen of natural history than
he had ever seen before, and the doctor
did not know exactly where to place him.
His wife, who had been looking with pity
at the lad’s unprotected feet, brought a
pair of one of the children’s shoes, and
bade Patrick put them en.

throwing up both hands with well-feigned '

Dr. Gregory had just returned from an
early professional call, one biting morning
in November. \ On alighting from his
chaise, he caught the eye of his daughter
as she stood at a front window, rivited
upon some object in his equipage, with an
expression of countenance in which pity
and mirth seemed to be struggling for the
ascendancy. Turning round to ascertain
what thus attracted her attention, the Doc-
tor (lie was in haste for his breakfast) now
for the first time perceived-a little ragged
and bare footed boy, who was hanging at
the bits of his horse with an air of as res-
olute determination to hold on, as if he
had seized Bucephalus by the headstall.
Dr. Gregory was both humane and a hu-
morist; and was in particularly good spir-
its just now, having relieved a fellow crea-
ture from intense suffering, and received
therefor a reasonable fee——two events,
which conjoined, constitute a physician’s
happiness; and if the good physician,like
Dr. Gregory, would infinitely rather miss
the last than the first, it cannot be denied
that they are pleasant associate circum-
stances.
“Hulloa! you little centaur reversed!”
he cried, “who pays you for holding a
horse that would’nt run if you whipped
him T’
“Is it me you mean’! It’s the less
trouble to hold him then,if he won’t run,"
said the boy, “and if your honor should
forget to give me a sixpence, I’m no poor-
pride of the little beggar bov.
it you would not do. pray '1”.
“Tbere’s many things I wouldn’nt do,
your honor,” said Patrick, looking roguish-
ly around the circle whose eyes were
now curiously fixed uponliim. “Beagutiful
teeth your ladyship lias ! ”he said to Helen,
who closed her lips with half a pout at the
impertinence,but lost all command ofthem
in a clear bell-like laugh, as Pat added-
“Many things I would not do—and one of
them is to disgrace the shoes of a son of
your lionor’s by putting my naked feet
into them. Sure you never saw the like !”
“Give the young scampa pair of silk
hose !” shouted the Doctor, as soon as his
cacliinnatory paroxysm permitted.
“Lamb’s_ wool will answer if you please,
ladies,” said the little adventurer, nothing,
abashed at the storm of laughter he had l
raised.
‘‘_Where do you live 7. Have you a Fath-
er? Mother’! Sister’! A place? Do you,
want one’! ’ said the Doctor, hurridly, rat-‘
tling one question after another, in order,
agments of those who are just entering
on the pursuits by which he has made his
wealth, that he scans their pretentious and
eye. No mere /rope is entertained by such
a father as cas/2. in the account; and no
“expectations” are credited as actual cap-
ital. The young merchant may pass for
more than he is worth with any body but
the merchant; and the young merchant;
and the young lawyer or doctor may be
rated above his profssional value by any
body but the veteran in his own line of
life.
Such were the disadvantages under
\\lllCll young Dr. Henry aspired to an al-
liance with tie old Dr. Gregory. Prob-
ably he overestimated his difIicu'lties——and
probably, too, the old Doctor intended he
sliould. It is a trick of the experienced
to pile all sorts of impedimems in the way
of the young. in order to test their capac-
ities, prove their quality, and fire their
ambition. Many a young man who es-
teems a certain old father to be a terrible
cerherus, would, if he could really discov-
er the thoughts of the aiicientgeritleiraii,
“Had I three cars” (three pairs to lfecp up
the canine parallel) “l’d hear thee !”

The little lrisli boy left, on the whole,
a good impression on the mind’s of the
Doctor’s faniily, though they were sadly
non-plussed by his free and easy demean-
or. The Doctor was captivated by his
ready wit, the wife and daughter pitied
his evident though uncomplaining destitu-
tion. The key to- the little living enigma
consisted in a word beyond which no city
reader will need any explanation. Pat

such he had acquired development for the

unfeeling fellow disdained to close" after’

“Ah ha!” said the Doctor, imitating his
brogue, “it’s a wit you are! Here John,”
he said to the groom, who had now come
round, “turn the horse into the stable, and

said little Pat, following the grooni.—
“Your honor has the name of the best
doctor in the country.”
Dr. Gregory, at'his comfortable .breal<-
fast with his family, soon forgot that such
a being as little Patrick existed. This we
say without scandel to his benevolence;
for so many calls were made upon him
for professional and other aid, that he fell
into the habit of prescribing for tempora-
