We had wandered away from the ball-
room, and were now in the ferncry. How
delicious the cool air and the stillness were,
after the heat and exertion of dancing !-—-I
had not been introduced to Miss Ada Riv-
ers for the first time that evening; indeed,
our acquaintance datcd some two or three
weeks back; but never before had I found
her so charming. We had mutually discov-
ered that talking was much pleasanter than
dancing. and bad wandered from one sub-
ject to another, finding a remarkable simili»
tudc in each other‘s tastes, till we at length
entered into a most delightful discussion
about poetry in general. and some poets in

such enthusiasm, " Was not that a lovely
idea?" an , “ Was not the rhythm of these
lines enchanting? " She had given me al-
most the whole of Locksley Hall, and it
was the criticisms which it had naturally
drawn forth that elicited from her the above-
question.

I had not yet attained my twenty second
year, and I was perhaps more than Miler-ably
innocent and ignorant of mundane affairs,
having not very long joined my corps, fresh
from a country life and the jurisdiction
of a private tutor, and. since then our regi-
ment had been stationed in the dullest quar-
ters imaginable. At present I had been for-
tunate enough to obtain a long leave of ab—
sence, and was now enjoying to the best of
my ability, my first real experience of the
London season.

—cliarming girls, excellent cbauipaigne and
eatablcs, with. of course, the usual number
of forgotten requisites and culinary catastro—
phes. There was but one draw back, and
even that was not so bad as it might have
been ; I did not ace as much of Miss lliv-
era as I could have wished, for there was a
horrid individual, a rich old city banker, I
board, who positively persecuted her with
attentions, in fact be hardly left her side
for a muman However, we were alone for
a few minutes; \vnlmd gone up a little bill,
in order to fill a large kettle with water from
a spring. I suppose the old fellow was too
still" to follow us, and she infurinml Inc, in
answer to sonic remark of mine, that lie was
a very particular friend of her father‘s, who
wished him to be treated very politely. Of
course that explained all ; old Rivers owed
him money, probably. I was able to add
something very pointed and tender“ our
conversation, at which she blushed very
much. and rewarded me with a sweet, Iwift
glance from her blue eyes ; but coming
dovvn, the path being steep and the kettle
vcrv full, our attention was too much (li-
vidcd to admit of sentiment. After this the
day passed off very well, and Ada gave me
a bright smile as I took my leave. I saw her
very frequently during the next week or so,
but unfortunately bad nola good opportuni-
ty of again alluding to the subject of which
my heart was full.
Just about this time I received a pressing
invitation from Tom Busby—n very goal
friend of ours also on leave—for a fortnigbt's
fishing in “'alca. I confess I felt something
like a pang at the idea of parting from Miss
Rivers, even for a short period; but the pie
cawrial art had always for me a decided at-
traction, and Busby was most urgent. TIiL‘
coast at present was pretty clear, my only
rival apparently being old Moneysworib ,
but from him I felt I had nothing to fear;
for a being high-minded and refined as was
my Ada—for so I sometimes fondly called
her—bis cheques and money-bags could have
no attraction.
I spent a most agreeable fortnight at Bus—
by‘s, somucb that I was induced to prolong
my stay some ten days longer than I had in.
tended. Upon my return to London I lost
no time in calling at the River‘s abode; but
the ladies were not at home, and I could but
leave my card, and sigh at my ill-fortune.
For the urn week I was employed in the
delightful role of escort to a couple of coun-
try cousins, who had arrived on a flying
visit to the metropolis, and of course the
dear unsophisticated creatures must see the
place. I thought that week would never
cud ; but at last it did and I was free
again.
How shall I find words where-with to
continue my narrative, approaching as it
now is to a period of my life in which I
was—for a time—«the most miserable of
mortals? Strange that I can now hold my
pen with a firm band, and relate the history
of my sorrows without feeling my heart-
sirings wrong, and my brain maddcncd by
the cruel remembrance; Strange, but true.
The very day I had been seeing my cous—
ins off by the train—l fear the parting was
not so disagreeable as it should have been to
may-upon my way home whom should I
meet of all others, but Frank Rivers, my be—
iovcd‘s very precious young brother. He
wasn’t sixteen, and should have been at
school, but was otherwise employed in ac-
companying his sister everywhere, and was
far more an fat? in all the etiquette of Lon-
don fashionable lifc tiianl was. Of course
we were delighted to see each other, and I
made all possible polite inquiries nbtmt the
health and well-being of the Rivers family
generally—I could not well venture to par-
ticulariac.

tones roping tinctures with what seemed
a glow of farm indignation on her cheeks.

Luckilygmy aunt, had had tolerable experi-

under similar unhappy circumstances, and
when she could not prevail upon ~In'eto tell
her all that wm weighing on my heart, she
did not we me with questions, but left
me to mymlf, only expressing her sympathy
with my Ilknown sorrows by various little
kindnesses which I hope I shall never for-
get. Since then she and I have had many a
laugh ; but no matter. -
The invitation of which Frank Rivers had
spoken wu duly forwarded to me, and to it
I mtumcd‘a polite reply, expressing my deep
regret that‘my unavoidable absence in the
country would entirely preclude my being
present upon so interesting an occasion.
Howdiffimlt I found it to wr‘lté that letter,
and not to put down some of‘ge bitter,
clever, satirical things which filled my
thoughts. I was fortunately, however, able
to restrain myself from writing what would
probably have been regardcd as the more
ravings of- a disappointed lover.
The same day which brought me the pa-
per with the usual announcement, “At St.
George‘s, Bancver Square," brought me the
delicate-tinted wedding cards. How well I
remember tearing them in piecm, and then
walking to the top of a favorite cliff, and
flinging the fragments into the yawning gulf
beneath. I really felt very miserable. My
first love (beam, like all other dreams of the
some sort, had been, if brief, very bright,
and it was none the easier to relinquish all
my glowing visions of a radiant future, be-
cause it had taken but it few weeks to con-
jure them up. 1
Of Counsel made a fool of myself. Eve—
ry fellow docs at some period of his life, I
suppose, and in my state of mind at the
time I was no exception to the general rule.
I believe I had smncwild idea at first, such
asiliat of joining one of the armies of the
Continent, it mattered not which, becoming
a brigand in Italy or Greece, or going off toa
sheep farm in Australia. But Europe justat
(be time was In a most aggravating condi-
tion of pencefulncss; brignnding did not
quite suit my views; and as long as I can re-
member, I had adecidcd aversion to every
sort of agricultural pursuit, so that the Ans
tralian schemewas also abolished.
I cameéhowever. to anemia-don per-
haps equally absurd, and, unfortunately, was
able in carry out my resolve before the ardor
of my feelings bad sufiicieutly cooled down
to let me see the folly of the course I was
adopting. I heard that there was a regi-
ment under immediate orders for India, and,
of course, without consulting my friends—-
liairbraincd youth that I was—l entered
into negotiations at once, and effected, but
too readily, my exchange into it from my
own regiment.
I need not now dwell upon the dismay
and gril‘f of my parents and sisters upon be-
ing acquainted with my rasb act. Enough
to say, that at the time I would hardly ad-
mit it to myself, before I left England I was
rather ashamed of my folly, which I saw in
a calmer-light, and heartily wished I had at
least taken a little more time for considerav
Lion. But there was no alternative, and I
started \t'lllir—aliall I confess it ?—a strange
remembrance of my poor mother's farewell
words, and my sistcra' tears, than of my
sometime lady—love‘s blue eyes and low, mu-
sical voice, the echoes of which had seemed
to haunt me mockingly in the first bitter-
ness of my grief. However, I remember I
succeeded in getting up. a little sentiment as
in: land slowly receded out of sight, and I
leaned over the ship‘s side, repeating, of
course, only for my own edification, Childe
Harold‘s farewell :—
Adlea. adieu! my native shore
. Fades o'er the waters blue
and so on, until disturbed bf a very disas
greenblo sensation caused by the motion of
the vuscl. Inother words, I was a bad sai-
lor, and for some days was obliged to seek
the undisturbedoblivion of my cabin. When
I had recovered sufficiently to go on deck
and mingle with my future comrades. I‘
found my spirits rising _unaocountably, and
a strong disposition to pardon Adwm
word and deed, and a strong d on to
laugh at what caused me such pain so short
a time previouslyjtook , Irresistible pom

mental revolution; I am merely stating facts.
Myvnew brother officers turned out to be
very goodfellows, and I did not think them

in Devonsbire. What a delightful holiday
I spent there! We were all so thoroughly
happy; for time had dealt kindly with us,
and in all those longwears no precious one
had been retrieved: and‘pow that I, the-ab-
sent, had returned, there was nothing to
check our mutual enjoyment.

change too {place in ourlworltlly malts;

ner—sa‘ t relative. ‘Anmmformmte dis-

our family, .qvere nibtfiven aware that

Sir Thomas Deveril’s (lath, owing to his
leaving no heirs, mtil made acquainted with
all the facts by the dolicitor. Partly on ac
count of these changes and of 'some other
circumstances, I have determinéd'onleaving
the army,"and‘for the fonts, residing In the
character of country gentleman near my fa.
ther in Devonsbire. I may state that the
“ other circumstances" consist of my en-
gagement and approaching marriage with a
young lady whose acquaintance I made in
India, and for whonnl formed a strong at-
tachment before I left that country. She
and her mother came home indeed under my
escort, as her father, who had been a district
judge in some of the [upper provinces, died
some few weeks before my regiment received
orders for home, and mother and daughter
preferred returning to their English friends,
to remaining in a country saddened by pain—
ful recollections. Our marriage has been de—
ferred until :tbe autumn, in order that my
bride‘s only brother, who holds an Indian
appointment, may be present 6n the occa-
sion. .
I may mention that, when lately in Lon
don, I had the pleasure of very frequently
meeting Mr. and Mrs. Moneyswonh at their
own house, as well as with mutual friends.
Mrs. Moneysworth is decidedly a very charm-
ing little woman, and supports the honor of
her present position with a grace and digni—
ty which become her admirably. The very
great change for the better in her husband,
who, although still very old beside her,looks
at least ten years younger than when I saw
him some years ago, must also be owing to
her tact and judgment.
Now that the sentiment bus entirely van~
isbed, and I can take a matter-offset and
thoroughly unpredjudiced view of all the
circumstances, I find myself wondering how
I ever coald have blamed Miss Kms for
marrying my rich rival in preference to my-
self; bow, in fact,I should have expected
anything else, even though I did so but for
a few short weeks The advantages are so
manifold and evident. She has at her feet
whatever wealth can buy; and let philoso-
plicrs rail as they will, that infers a great
deal. Town mansions, country ‘seats, a trip
to the continent every {year these are but
minor considerations. But she has been able
to prove herself excellent in the different re-
lations of life—daughter. sister and wife.
She has through her husband’s influence,ob-
mined capital appointments for each of her
brothers, and two of her sisters have recent-
ly made quite distinguished alliances under
her auspices. _And beside being a leader in
the fashioaablo circle in which she moves,
she is patroness to many valuable institu-
tions, and heads subscription—lists for the
furtherance of several highly commendable
charitable objects Whereas, if she had mar-
ried me, (well, of course, she never could
have dreamed more than myself, that I
should become heir to a baronetcy and sever-
al thousand a year), if she could have done
so the course of events might have changed;
but where is the use of speculating? But I
fancy Mrs. Moneysworth would have no
objection to a third brotlierdn-law, in the
person of her quondam pamionate adorer,
and present very sincere admirer. At lead
I know that, whenever I have lately found
myself at her home, there has been a little
sister of hers—a curious facsimile of what
she herself was some five years ago—always
in readiness to entertain me, and we are al-
lowed unlimited opportunities for poetical
disquisitiona without any Brother Frank to
rudely interrupt
But farewell, sweet, clever, Ada, for on
this point our views do not coincide.—
There is a certain pale, sweet face, with a
world of truthfulness in its grave, dark
eyes, and a smile of light and love, not al-
ways easily awakened. Under the far-of
Indian sky I learned ho bat to win that
smile, and, more, how towin the love of
that fond, true heart; and the day will soon
come that is to make it mine forever. Bnt

Sou'm Nonwaui, June 22, 1872.
Dan: Sm :
I cannot but feel that in our respective re-
lations of Senator and constituent, you have
come short of your duty to me. I have al-
ways regarded the duties of a Senator to the
citizens of his State, in protecting him in
his person, character or laterals, when in-
vaded by his own or a foreign Government
as one of the most imperative pertaining to
his high oflloe. But I have never heard of
your having taken any part in defending me
gainst the gratuitous assaults of Senator
Chandler, on the 8th of June, 1870; which

Now.
and positive language; though unlike Mr.
Chandler in ‘ courteous 9nd parliamentary
tones. And he assumd the Senate that he
spoke from his own personal knowledge.
An inference has very naturally been drawn
from your silence that you placed the great—
er confidence in the vulgar am'ertions of Mr.
Chandler, or an indifference to the great In-‘
justice that was done to a constituent You
saw the remonstrsnce of many of the prom-
inent citizens of this town ; drawn up and
sent to the Senate immediately on reading
the slanderous remarks of Mr. Chandler.
You are personally acquainted with some of
the public men who signed that paper, and
know that they would not have volunteered
such service in my absence except upon the
clearest convictions of duty to a fellow-
townsman ; that be had been wantonly and
wickedly traduced, It was the more impor-
tant because of their own volition. Surely
you could not have wished for any more pos.
itive evidence that a citizen of your State for
whose well-being you were equally respon-
sible with your colleague who had been cru-
elly wronged ; and that by the evidence sub-
sequently produced, the President and one
of his confidential agents are seriously corn-
promised in the affair. Was it for the ten-
der regard you had for the President and
the fear of disturbing the friendly and so-
cial relations existing between you that pre-
vented you from joining your colleague in
defending a citizen of your State, and in
demanding redress for the outrages inflicted
upon him?
I am led to these reflections now, and
moved to ask these questions of you because
of the intimation: I read in the papers that
you are inclined to favor the Administration
and help it out of its embarrassment in its
mismanagement of the affairs of the New
York Custom House.
I have felt that I was not only entitled to
your assistance and protection as acitizeu of
the State you in part represent. in the Fede-
ral Government, but that I had some little
claim on you for having aided and assisted
in your election every year you was a can-
didate for Governor. This for: would have
heard from our mutual acquaintance from
this town if you had felt sufficient interest
in my case W'W I never voted
a Democratic tmt, for I In taught in my
youth that all the corruption and wicked-
ness were on that side, and you know how
difficult it is to overcome early impmaious.
But, alas ! if there has ever been any scan-
dal, any corruption or any wickednem con-
nected with any Democratic administration
equal to that of Mr. Grant's Santo Domingo
annexation scheme, as I know of my own
knowledge and have experienced in my own
person, I am happily ignorant of it; to say
nothing of other scandal and other frauds
coming to light day by day.
Now, I contend that no man of sound
common sense, with a mind unbiased, can
read over the two reports of the Senate Com-
mittee of Investigation in my petition, and
the evidence to which they refer, without
being forced to the conclusion that no such
instance of man's inhumanity to man can
be found recorded in the history of any gov-
ernment pretending to a high state of civili-
zation in our time. The whole report of
the majority and the disposition manifested
by them throughout the investigation to im-
plicate me in some wayin order to spare the
real criminals, reads more likaachapter
from the history of the Spanish Inquisition
than anything which has ever come to light
in American history. If the President did
not know of the diabolical plot of Babcock
and’hfs confederatea, Beer and Gamma, to
sacrifice me and keep me out of the ‘way
until their grand schemes of fraud and spec-
ulation should be secured by annmtion, he
would have known of it if he had not cued
less for the life, the liberty and the laterals
of a fellow-citizen than for the prospective
intermts of his inconsiderate and anserupnc
ions protege and his obsequious friwds.
And I am fully persuaded that this has been
the sole object of the President in attempt-
ing to get mica of me Dominican ter~
ritory, to secure a great speculation for
somebody. His indorsamant of all the file-
galandalrocibnsadsdf Baboock, after he
