TlIK UUOD OLD TIMKS.

Tlio good old times when good raon ruled tho
land,
straightforward honesty the only art.
When Jusllco reigned, and fraud and wrong
were banned.
And Bltnplo manner spake a guileless heart
These many men demand.
Tlio good old limes when farmers went to mill,
Their grtt In sack wed balanced with a stone;
When the gcodjH?oplo had of work their nil,
The men a-fleld, tlio wives at homo ntono,
All tolling with a will.
Thero were ho railways then to spoil tho farm
Tho Jolting stage coach boro thi traveler slow;
Thero was nogns to surfocatc a"d harm
A tallow dip gavo light obscurely low,
And caused no man alarm.
There wero no telegraphs by sea and thoro
A letter by tho post-boy Jogged along;
Tho mistress made .the clothes her husband
wore;
(And spun tho yarn and wore It) good and
strong,
They tlmo and usago bore.
No loud machine, to thresh tho garncrod corn
Tho rattling Hall tho business did and well;
What music there, beginning with tlumornl
Th bo pounding strokes In metrlo miasurcs
fell
Till sang tho dlancr horn.
No silks nor laces decked tho farmer's wife,
No broadcloth on tlio sturdy farmer's back;
No Idle hours or lazy ways were rife;
Of moments lost lnpleasuro thero was ln;k;
All led a busy life,
No mammoth Journals with the idle news
Weekly a dingy sheet .he courier brought;
No churches then with rlchlj cushioned pews
On benches hard, the penitential thought
iVhat Blnncrcoull refute 7
No rogues lb omco Uicn to make them rich
All plundering deftly from the common sloro
No public servant felt tho raging Itch
For profit through tho honored trust 1 jo bore,
And daubed his famo with pitch.
Aud these, they tell us, were the good old times.
T he land Arcadia and the people pure
Not given, Uko us to fopy and to crimes;
And somo regret that such could not endure.
In sentimental ibme8.
Yet we ponder on the historic pigo
Head letters that outlive tkcli writers now,
How soon we learn that In their simple ngc,
Crime .slulned tho soul, and many a m inly

Wrlrklt d with party rage.
They had their plans their money-bags to till;
The greed of gain prevailed, though not bo

Whatever grumblers say,

The sense of human vlco Is gro iter now

It must not be suimosed that the gen

sign, or went off altogether without re

'You must know, then,' began the
young oflicer, 'that Ueuben Carr and
myself wero schoolfellows. My father

his eyes which I can only call diabolical.
All this was seven or eight years ago

stantly heard of him, onco between then
and now, my old ami unpopular school
fellow, Reuben Our, till this evening,
when I had the pleasure of depositing
him in the High street of Watley, for I
need not tell you that 1 am only leviving
this long yarn because tho hero is your
troublesome guest. What can have
brought him hither and through what
stages ot mutiny he must Havo gone ere
associating with such a set of boors I
cannot guess. That there is a reason for
md that tho reason is a bad and wick
ed one, I don't doubt. The last time,
however, I had heard of him was on the
occasion of his having sold or been driv
en from the th regiment. I mentioned
to you that ho was not, and, I believe, is
not a coward. On the contrary, both at
homo and abroad, inoie esjiecially the
latter, he has been engaged hi many af
fairs, as duels are called. From none of
these, as it is said, has he emerged with
clean hands. I don't mean he has killed
his man, though that has been the case
on several occasions; but if what is said
is true, relying on his consummate skill
with almost every weapon, both offen
sive and defensive, he has traded in his
'.apaeity of gambler and voluptuary on
his known dcadlincss at his weapons, uiul
has not only outraged the honor but
swindled the foitunes and taken the life
of many young men aud women of good
lamily; m tact, his name was one ot ter
ror.
The single occasion on which I saw
this man was at Naples about two years
since. A party ot us had just gone
ashore, and were about returning to out
boat when the sharp report of firearms
attracted our attention to a retired spot
on the suburbs of that beautiful city.
On turning aside, we suddenly came
upon a group of three men. Two of
these were raising the body of a third,
while hastening away in the direction
which brought them close to our own
party, were two others, in ono of whom
I had no diuicultv tu recognizing, iresh
from his latetd fatal affair of honor.Rcu-
ben Carr, then a Lieutenant in the th
Regiment of foot. The story I learned
in connection with this tragic affair wa
a very sad one indeed, and so black were
somoot the circumstances in connection
with it that I was not surprised to learn
shortly afterward that tho survivor on
that occasion had ceased, after an inqui
ry, to be a member of the gallant corps
which lie had, as was said, so disgraced.
At this stage of tlienarrative,a knock
ing was heard at the hotel door, and on
young Jones going to inquire what
might bo the business of the poison
knocking, an entire stranger replied that
lie had business with Mr. Frank Curtis
which admitted of no delay.
A rather gentlemanlike person with a
hot unmihtary air made his appearance,
and on his requesting a few words of
private conversation, Frank rose fiom
his seat and dcs'ntd the stranger to fol
low him into the little flower garden
with which the conservatory communi
cated. After a tew minutes conversation he
returned to his friends, saving :
'You will, then, bo so obliging as to
call for my answer to your friend's rath
er cxtraorilinarv demand by 8 o'clock to
morrow morning. At present I neither
issent to nor decline to accede to it. Mr.
Jones, bo so kind as to conduct this
hem ! gentleman to the dooi.'
The honest young fellow evinced a
much greater alacrity in executing this
latter commission than had been the case
hen required to admit the suspicious
messenger, on his ictiirn no inn a pocK-
etbook into Curtis' hands.
'I think vou must have dumped it
when you pitched that ill-looking fellow
into the road,' said lie.
'Nay, it is non of initio, nor will 1 have
aught to do with it. Keep it for the
rightful owner.'
Certainly, sir. but to find out who is
tho owner 1 must e'en examine the con
tents.' This ho proceeded to do forwith. Of
his two companions our Lieutenant was
tlio only one who oppoared not the least
interested m tlio matter, lie being deeply
buried in thoughts of his own.
After a shoit interval otsilence.scarce
broken by a subdued whispering be
tween mother and son, the latter said :
'Iliis noekethook may not be vour

There was something so frank, so kind
so reassuring iu the manner and bear
ing of Iih new friend, to say nothing of
the ciicuinslances of his having known
his own father, that Frank felt no hesi
tation in laying open not only all the de
tails which we have already given, but
iu coiiliding to him a certain tender se
cret of his own. Having brought down
the history of himself and his unwoithy
schoolfellow to the very time in which
they wero seated together, he piocrcded
to place in his advier's bauds the con
tents of the pocketbook, numbered in
duo order.
The Mnjor devoted himself earnestly
to the perusal of the various papers plac
ed methodically in his band, making
memoranda as he laid each carefully by.
Have done all this ami the contents
were of a varied as well as exciting clur
acter he at Inst held out his hand for
the pocketbook itself,
''1 here is a clue missing yet to make it
nil perfectly clear, and I iiold you a wa
ger that it is to be found heie," tap iug
the leather case. "I never knew one of
these thorough-paced rascals' pocket
books but had some secret pocket or
lurking place. Hy your leave."
And so saying, he deliberately ripped
up tho scams and sides of tlio case with
a handy knife, which, while speaking,
ho had detached front his coat pocket,
and surely enough two thin pieces of
paper fell from the leather.
"Tis as I suspected," he added, with
a short, self-satisfied laugh. 'Hut it is
an extraordinary thing to think of, that
all these groat rogues aro always great
fools in somo essential and vital point.
Who would have thought, now, ot car
rying with him these two precious docu
ments, which with the letters, can only
prove him to bo what you aud 1 know
him to be an unnatural and unmitigat

bo saying, the old campaigner banded
across to bis excited companion the two
slips ol paper, which the latter had no
sooner perused than a warm Hush over

shone lrom Ins eyes.
