If I hadn't lost my umbreller in the cab, I must have done him a injury with it! Oh the bragian little traitor! right among the ladies, Mrs. Harris; looking his wickedest and deceitfullest of eyes while he wp.s a talking to 'em ; laughing At his own jokes as loud as you please/holding his hat in one hand to cool hissef, and tossing back his iron-grav mop of a head'of hair with the other, as if it was so much shavings—there, Mrs. Harris, I see him, getting encouragement from the pretty clelooded creeturs, which never know'd that sweet saint, Mrs. C., as I did, and being treated with as much confidence as if he'd never wiolated none of the domestic ties, and never showed up nothing! Oh the aggrawation of that Dougladge' Mrs. Harris, if I hadn't apologiged to Mr. Wilson, and put a little bottle to my lips which was in my pocket for the journey, and which is very rare indeed 1 have about me, I could not have abared the sight of him—there, Mrs. Harris ! I could not!—I must have tore him, or have give way and fainted. "While the bell was a ringing, and the luggage of the hammertoors in great confngion—all a litter'ry indeed—was handled uj§ Mr. Wilson demeens liisself politer than ever. "That," he says, " Mrs. Gamp,:' a pinting to a officerlooking gentleman, that a lady with a little basket was taking care "on, " is another of our party.

"But who," says I, when the bell had left off, and the train had begun to move, " wh», Mr. Wilson, is the wild gent in the perspiration,that's b-een a tearing up and down all this time with a great box of papers under his arm., a talking to everybody very indistinc't, and exciting of himself dreadful ?"

"Come," his brother would say sometimes, when the father had set the boys a task and had gone from home, "come, Hod, let's go a-fishing." "No," Horace would reply, in his whining voice, "let's do our stint first." "He was always in school, though," says his brother, "and as we hoed down the rows or chopped at the wood-pile he was perpetually talking about his lessons, asking questions, and narrating what he read." When he fished, he fished for fish, not for sport. He could never be induced to sheet anything. When he did accompany a shooting party he would never carry or discharge a gun, and when the game was found he would lie down and stop his ears till the murder had been done.
