SELECT MISCELLANY. L MGR WITH THE ISM Soyle is the capital of one of the smallest counties in New England; It is an assize town, and the popula tion only consists of two thousand inhabitants, and I am one of them; as junior partner in the bank, open on ordinary occasions from eleven to three, and on market day from ten to five. 1 may add an important one of them. Our street is broad, out shop windows are beautiful, the red bear which squats over the portico of our principal inn is of gigantic size, and, as work of art, unique. Yet the passing stranger might think us dull. He would, however, be rats taken; the assizes are followed by a ball; the hunting season is closed by a ball; and there is an annual county ball. Four balls in the year. Among the other attractions of the Red Bear is Its cosy billiard room, where the oldest and principal citi zens drop in ofait afternoon to playa game or to look at others playing. One particular afternoon, I stopped for my game, and found the room with more than its everyday num ber of guests. The first game of pool had begun and lasted for a con siderable time, and Joe, the attend ant was collecting the balls in his wicker bottle preparatory to giving them out afresh, when the door of the room opened, and the eyes of all turned upon that rare phenomenon, a stranger. He was a man who, suppose, must be called goodlooking, for his features were regular, his hair and moustache black, and his figure well setup. He wits dressed as if for a wedding, with shining hat and boots and flower In his button hole, and gloves that fitted like lady's. He had a very entail Um brella in his hand and a very , large cigar in his mouth, and though we all glared coldly utxmllm,' , was not • abashed one' jot, - .but, Strolled carelessly tip to the cue rack; end , ob• serVed as naturally as pawl blet Mar. ker, I will takes Well, why-not?

It did do; if the tool was • bad the workman was.good, and no slaugh;. tered 1113 ail round in a brilliant man. ner. He. was stelconuh to do that, bull did not like - the_ airr he •gave himself. When he found. that the value of a life was but a sixpense he smiled superciliously. - When he had to pay one he pulled out a handful of gold to search for the modest ado; when: a gentleman remarked' that his socess was the result of an• add dent, he WOO hinroot :to apolo• gize. • He also asserted that the ta ble, of which we were prendi was. a "beast.” Worse still, he silenced our wit-- "I say," said - the 'stranger, rising from his contemplated, stroke ' and looking the culprit gravely in the fate, "before dinner, you know." "I 11M aware of ,Dc..

Colonel Rayner's name was called once when I,he neglected his turn to play; the sttanger caught it and when • the colonel had made his stroke, he addressed him, said that he bad a letter of introduction from his sou,and begged to take that opportunity of delivering it. The old man ran his eye over the note, sallied cordially, and held out his hand to the young one. "A friend of Charles is sure to be welcome," said he. "You have left the 'regiment?" "Yea," said the stranger, "I was sick to death of India, and having come into a propeity which made me Independent of the service, i re- Solved to cut It." cz=i =1 E !!!1 him. ITC I "Well, Mr. Saurin," replied the colonel, "I cannot blame you,- for I did much the same thing myself, only rather late in life." - "And I want to follow yoUr ex ample in another matter also," said Sauna, "and that has brought mo to Boyle. You are Colonel of the militia of this county, and lam going to ask you for a commission in it. I have a theory that. a man who has been in the serviceought turn his ts t experience to souse accoun though ho may fi nd, soldiering all ho year round and Indian life too irksome." "Quite right, quite right," cried the colonel, whose-hobby was-prick ed. "Where are you staying?" "I have got a bed in this house." "Oh, that must not be; you must shift your quarters to my place— to.morrow." The colonel remembered, just in time, that Mrs. Rayner did not like a guest being brought in to sleep without due notice being given. About dinner, she was not 80 par ticular, and the hospitable old gen tleman invited him for that evening. "By-the-by, Robert," he added to me, "you are coming to us to-night; that is capital; you can drive Mr. Saurin over." For two years of my life,l loved in silence. It is a stupid sort , of thing to do, unless you nett poet, and can make beautiful verses about it, and even then I think it must be better to get another fellow to love m si lence, and be beautiful about him. But in my case it was exceptionally agent l; fbr of allmen a banker °light to know better than to let his capital lie idle. I did know better, and de termined daily either to get some in terest for my affection, or transfer the stock; which determinations were never acted upon, as I could not summon sufficient resolution to tell my love. Nature and education had combined to make me timid in the presence of women, and Peepie Rayner was such an imposing speci men. Peepie ! Was there ever such an absurd name for a girl five feet nine inches in height, set up like a grenadier with the figure of a Juno, an aquiline nose, eyes that could flash so that the rashest of men would hardly have dared to trust her in a powder magazine. Peepie! Parents and nurses are so perverse; it was affectionate for Per petite, which was the name she was christened, and was suitable. I have often wondered why, in these days when thrones are going begging, no one thought of making a queen of her. ; she looked the queen all over ; so did her mother for whom they might have found another little monarchy too. I don't think the Colonel would have minded; I fancy he grew tired at times of being the only subject. I have heard that Colonel Rayner was rather a marti net when he was in the army, and that in his dealings with the Asialiw, who did not appreciate the British rule, he was very severe. As a dashing cavalry officer and terrible swordsman, he had won great repu tation, al Bing his enemies like cu cumbers, while retaining the cool ness of those vegetables; yet Mrs. Rayner ruled him. It was a warning, for Pee* was a second edition of her mother, and had never had auy brothers to teach her the rights of man. But men in love don't take warning. I was prepared for any amount of servi tude, and I thought sometimes that she would not object to take com mand of me ; only, if I asked her, and shexefused, I. should lose her society altogether, and could not bring myself to risk that. When a lover.isaccepted, audfeels safe, he generally likes to introduce another man to his intended ; but when in doubt,he hates it. I hated it. Not that I introduced Baurin to Peepie; but, I brought him, and therefore had the 'air of doing so. And he made himself very agreeable, not to me. Indeed, but to the ladies. His manner With Welnien was quite dilf*nt from that • which he had with men. He Was In turns defer ential, suggestive, admiring; enthUs iaStie ; that Is, he had tact. And.lie had no accomplishrtieuts,which is au expellent thing in mom A man with an accomplishment poses himself be fore' a girt as it rival; instead of an admirer. If he is superibr, he dainps„ and snubs; her; if inferior, she de spises him:* Again, so long as' you can discover no merit ut all, you get credit for a great deal, on the princi ple that you must have been created for some purpose or another, but onceithow 'your talents, and you are at as great 'a Wend vantage as the card player. who shows - his hand.

Mrs. Rayner was quite omerpow- ' ered, and wanted Saurin tordake up his abode in the house that very night. 41nd when the difficulty about the luggage was voted fatal to that plan, she insisted on his becom ing a permanent guest on the very nest day. "I am so glad that you broUght your friend over; a most worthy young man he seems to be," she said to me privately. "lie is not my friend; I know noth ing of him," I replied, in a tone so unlike my ordinary mild accents, that Mrs. Rayner started. It was bad enough that the mother took the fellow up so warmly; it was worse that ho succeeded so well with the daughter. I had always found Pee pie a difficult girl to talk to. She would let - you take up subject after subject, and drop it again without helping you to keep it up a bit; It was like playing rackets against a fellow who never strikes the ball in his turn. But with Saurin she laughed and chattered in t ,most animated way. "What a pleasant man yourfriend IA" she remarked to me, when he bad left her for a while to wind a lit . le more web rouud her mother. "I am glad that you like him," untruthfully answered; "hut he is not my friend." "Anyhow, he is great fun," said she. Buti Mould not see it. - liaurin likewise approved of Pee tie; at letist-I am informed that the orrible slangy phrase which he ap plied to her as I drove him home that night was intended to be com plimentary. "Rather a fetching girl that," was his familiar observa tion. I made no reply. Next day. he rose rather in my ea titnation.

That after noon he installed himself in Colonel Rarner"s house. , n Llie evening there was a large dintlet)nirtY, and 'the neircoiner was intidducctl'to•setgrit'ofthe Chutity magnates. I do not think that he succeeded so well with them as he had with the linyners, who were pre disposed in favor of one who brought them a letter of introduction from the son and brbtber in India. Our landed people are under the impres sion that, all versons who have nut the .irdviintage of belonging to the county, should show some sense of that misfortune in a subdued ner; and-this young man was decid edly bumptious. He intimated an intention of settling in the neighbor hood, asked if there was any estate in the market, as, it so, he might prof)- ably become a purchaser. And when it was remarked in conversation that Sir Peter Snaffles w•as about to give up the hounds,he said that he should not mind hunting the country him self. '• Your friend is rather a forward young man," was the remark which was several times made to me, and I invariably replied, in tones which showed •moremnd more irritation, that Stmrin was not my friend; that he brought a letter of introduction to Colonel Rayner from Charles, and that was all I knew about him. I might have spared my breath and temper—no one heeded me, and as this odious fellow's, sponsor I had to stand—l, whose appetite faded at the thought of his being under the same roof as Peepie At the end of a week, he came into the bank one morning, and LIDDOULIC ed that he hild to go to Liverpool on business. "Awful bore," he said; "but it• can't be helped. I um afraid I shall have to go on to Paris, and may not be back here for a couple of months. However, then I shall settle. Sims is in treaty to buy saw-saw Ledge for me. It won't make a bad little hunting•box. Hope to see you there, old fellow, and havesomejolly even ings. The money for the purchase will be lodged here in a day or two. By-the-by, I wish you would let me know when it is paid." He left two addreases,one at Bristol the other at Varis, with dates: when letters were to be sent to either place; end then said good-bye; he had only a short time to catch the train. Passing through the outer of fice; he stopped to draw his balance. "I declare I Was nearly starting on my journey withobt the wheel grease," he cried back to me, where stood at the door, of my room.

A DRAMA OF THE SEA On a line morning in May, 1631..1 was rounding Cape Frio, on the coast, of Brazil, in the brig Canon, bound from Glasgow to Rio de Janerlo, and, although we had our share of rough weather on the way, I can't remember a voyage- that I enjoyed more. It was about ten In tho morn ing, and I was lying on a spare sail in the main toprreading and looking through my - telescope turn about, when „ail at once the : skipper shouted an to me: "Meister K—. wall ye Jist tak' a look through the prospect (telescope) at you craft on the weath er bow ?" I leveled my glastint her, and wade her out to be a low-lying wat t seemingly standing away from us, and so reported to Ina_ captain, But in another ten minutes orso his voice came up again, and - this' time with a rather different sound in -.it: "Maister K—, I dinna like the lookW yon craft; wull you jis(tak' anither look at her?" "Why;" said I, leveling my glass "she's changed her course, she's coming right down upon us." "Wad ye kindly bring down the iorospect, sir? I wad like to talc' a look myself." This time there was a tremor in his voice which no one muld mistake. I be , gan to feel uncomfortable, and came down in post haste. The skipper took the glass, and I, watching him as he looked through it, saw his great red face grow,whiter and whiter till it :was livid as a corpse, and hejost got out four words in a kind of half-choked whisper"— "She's an armed - vessel I" I under. stood iCall in uzuoment. and so did :eveiyhody:,elaa, that heard him. This:Ws:a - just at the close of the war between Brazil and Buenos Ayres, - and the eastern coast was swarming with. es-privateers, who had been thrown \ out of work by the peace, and dithilt care whom they attacked, so long as there was anything to be -got by it. For one „moment - we thought of Showing fight., Toat;idea wouldn't hold water. 'Not a Massa nor a pike was there on board, let alone firearms, and our crew was the most innocent set you-can imagine— quiet, easy-going westland Scotsmen, mostly mafried men, with broad, good-natured, simple faces; like the villagers in ft pantomime. The very sight of them would have been enough to reassure any pirate on earth, and the only thing left to be done was to try stratagem. So the captain gaVe orders to rig up as many &mulles as possible, with spars and old jackets. to loo,:letts if we mustered pretty strong—aud ev ery one began to conceal his valua bles—l put my gold watch among the grounds of the coffee pot, the surgeon slipped his case of instru ments under a loose plank, and our skipper hid the chronometer. Meanwhile the pirate (fbr there could be no mistake about her now) was coming down upon us like a vulture. She ran across our bows and lay to within easy hail, so that we could see every face on board of her. And a rare sight they were! There seemed to be no discipline anlithe them—neither captain nor officers—all were, dressed alike, in coarse guernsey frocks, taken no doubt from some ship which they had. plundered. There were men of all nations, Sallow Spaniards and red faced Englishmen, olive colored Portuguese and brawny, yellow.' haired Germans; gaunt. hatchet faced Yankees and vicious-looking mulat toes; but upon each and all was that nameless stamp which marks the man whom some great crime has cut off from his fellows—the kind of look that I have seertmany a time among the worst class of convicts. It is always difficult kir a man to foretell how he will feel when sud -Adenly bought face to face with a deadly perd. I have seed\a man whose life was hanging by a hair . watch curiously - the movements of a spider on his window. I my self, in the crises of the deadliest scrape-I ever was in, found leisure to note the peculiar shape of a cloud in the sky. I remember, us if it were yesterday, that my first feeling at sight of thepirates was one of rage —a kind of angry disgust at the idea of such mean looking rascals daring to attack us at all. But I bad little time to think of it, for just as they ran alongside of us, skipper, to my astonishment; ccolly hailed them: "Ship; ahoy ! What'syour name?" There was a pause before they an swered, giving some Spanish name, which I- forget.- _ Our skipper left them no time to think about it, but went out "What's your cargo?
