T'iE MAJOR'S VALEDICTION.
nv . cimisriK McmiAV.
i ho iuaior on a suuHhinny day in
tho main street ot Jsallykillrowdy was
pleasant to behold. lie was not strictly
handsome perhaps, but he had the air
of being a handsome man an air of so
much nonchalance and good-humored
triumph that it imposed upon most peo
ple and sent them away with the notion
that tho Maior was an Adonis. Ho had
one of tho grandest figures I remember
to havo seen. Strength sat side bv side
with srrace on his broad shoulders, and
tho cnrriaire of his head was in itself a
sort of wonder of high temper and viv
acity. His mustache took a splendid
downward sweep: his hat raked a little;
the tips ot the fingers ot his lelt hand
entered liU trousers-pocket; his right
hand bore a cane, which described as it
were of its own volition, circles and seg
incuts of circles. He took his way smil
ing, and his bright gay eyes and lauio
less teeth made his face look as gray as
sunshine. This, when I come to look at
it. reads like tho description of a hand
some man: but like the Minor's air, there
is a certain imposition in it, thounh I
knew not how to lav ray fiiiccr on it.
Uallvktllrowdv was mainly owned py
Miss Vivian Make, a young lady of
charming exterior, who rode to limuuls
under the escort of an ugly male second
cousin, whom tho Maior loathed. Hut
sueh part of llallykillrowdy as was not
owned by the beautiful Miss NIako was
owned by her ugly malo second cousin,
and the popular impression was that Miss
lJIako and tho cousin would liiaue a
match of it. Against this popular belief
the Maior chafed, as aocrates might Havo
.... t. ....II :... T,
nieu up nguiusi u (ieui(--ii( jiiuji.ii(. m
may be said of tho Major that he had an
air of prosperity, which was greatly
more deceptive than his air of physical
beauty. Had his creditors met in con
clavo they might possibly have decided
amongst them a problem of some inter
est; how did tho Major live' He owned
neither lands nor messuages. Like his
look of beauty and his air of prosperity,
liis very title was misleading to the
stranger. He had never held a commis
sion anywhere, 111 anything; but a man
with such a figure ought to havo been a
Major if tho rank had been created
especially that ho might ornament it, tho
thing had seemed most fitting nnd ad
mirable, and, in short, tho title was a
a popular tribute, unsought by him, con
ferred upon him by nature, so it seemed,
and adopted without 0110 dissenting voice
bv the public of llallykillrowdy. and in
dorsed by tho members of the Ulster in
lordly Hellast.
novelists and other social moralists
have often been cynical, at small cost,
with respect to tho affection entertained
by an uu-acred gentleman for a well
acred lady I5ut, as Hoccaceio and a
Mr. Tennyson will tell you, a real at
tachment is not altogether impossible un
der such conditions. The Major was
madly in love not with Miss Make's
landed poutiessions, but witli Miss Blake.
Time had mado his first inroads on the
poor gentleman's close clustering hair.
He was but two and thirty; but somo
men ago early, and I havo nevor heard
that a partial or a completo baldness
gives safety against tho assaults of tho
grand passion. Tho ugly second cousin,
lik own poverty, tho rapidly increasing
width of his central parting.and Vivian's
kindness, combined together to fret the
Major heart, i et tho Irish elasticity
of his temperament constantly pulled
him out of tho depths of his desponden
cy, though it as constantly suffered him
to fall again. Spiritually, ho resembled
ainnlant seated 111 mat .iimericaii inven
tion, tho baby jumper, and ho went uj:
and down at tho most insignificant pro v.
oeation.
In perfect seriousness, but with an
Irish sense of rhyme, ho wrote ballads
on his own condition and to his mistreas
eyebrow. Permit tho Muso of History
(.'onservo a verse, Tho title of this story
should, perhaps, havo been. 'One of tho
Minor's Valedictions,' or 'Tho Major's
Liwt Valediction;' for dining the years
of his passion ho was always bidding
farewell, in terms 111010 01 less affecting,
to tho adorablo Vivian. 'And as tor
me.' wrote tho Maior, after wishing Viv
: .. . . - .1. . 1..
inu all happiness, oven wun mo ugiy
second cousin:
"Now as for mo, thero's Flgl and Talutl,
And thU ot other places fit to dlo In;
And when I'm dead your smallest sigh of pity
Will reach and thrill me nven whero-l'm lying,"
It was an honest passion. Iho poor
fellow was fairly hacked. All manner
of ambitions began to bestir themselves
for thcro was more in him, or at least ho
thought so, than tho helpless power to
dream of good luok over a bottlo of tho
club Pomnard or a glass of hot Irish, as

had all tho graces of a lady-killer, as an

It was before tho days of the dises

Irish Church, and the liishop of Bally-
kill
was a prosperous and a happy pro
. Tho Bishopess was a fruitful vino,
late,
and the quiver of the liishop was somo
what tightly packed. His lordship's
youngest son, Jack, was a terror to the
hearts of his parents. His lordship was
an Englishman, and Jack, to his horror,
had acquired a brogue whicli rivalled
Phil's. The lad was always in mischief
of one kind or other, and his mother's
anxious heart daily foreboded that he
would he brought homo upon a shutter.
Yet there was 110 harm in Jack, and he
had as staunch pluck as a bulldog's.
And, bo it known, he knew and loved
the Major.
And now, tho dramatis pergonac is
introduced, let the story go smoothly on.
TheVgood Mshop was rarely without

tors brought their own chums or com-
paiuons to dwell within his gates, lvato
and jiary wero rapturously in lovo wun
Vivian and Julia, and wero continually
paying and receiving visits to and from
them. Miss Blako and Miss Dnrgau
were beneath tlio Bishop s roofs, and Mr.
Phil. Durgan, who was intimate with
tho Bishop's second son, had no diflicul

ognizing tho hopelessness ot his own pas

and rode about Ballykill, encounter
ing tho Bishop often, but avoiding the
adies so persistently, and anvbody who
was a fool might havo thought that the
meetings with tho Bishop wero tho spe
cial object ot his journeys. Jlastor Jack,
who was acute and discerning, knew
better. Meeting tho Major ono day ho
took tlio bull by the horns.

Then they nequiesco in the decision of

The question was asked concerning a

man thcro was no evident sin, but rather
a misfortune; probably ono of those

I he 11 -arest thev have coiiio to havinjj
any pr.iciio.d ideas of life has been to
know that it cost something to live and
that father paid the bills. This may do.
after a fashion, as long as the father
lives and is good pay. But when the
father dies or goes into bankruptcy tho
state of the pour children is 0110 of sub
lime wretcht'dii'-s.'. If they happen to
be quite young the mischief may borem

with habits oi helplessness it is very hard
to learn anything that will be helpful in
tho earning ot a living.
Amv perhaps it is a sordid view to
take of education to regard it only as a
means of making one's own way
in the world. Education is to furnish
the mind; to stimulate the ambition ; to
lead to noble and lofty thoughts. All
this is true of education, and it is also
true that there aro many of what, the
world calls educated people who are as
heljiless in the way of earning a living
as the most neglected children of pride
and wealth. The education which is
worth having is not onlv that which
stuffs the mind with book material. A
man mav havo all of this that his .father
was able to pay for, and may yet bo an
impraciieable and impel cunious dunce.
If he has nothing that tho world is will

thing, he may ma'.c up his mind to plod
