It wftH tlio twelfth fiiintial dituicrof tlio club, find the Colonel, tlio Major, tlio jnpinin were Heaieit nrounti .1 tunic loaned wiin wino anti lnnt. o were the remainder of tho club, which origin illy contained all tlio olliccrn ot our rum- nicnt who had survived tho war. At llrst there wero lifteen of us, but tho ardsliips and wounds of these four bit or years had taken tlio others away, Every year thero was ono plato less, and o began to look: on our hum dissolution Uut wo tour had met tlio previous year and gladly drained a glass to tho discom fort of tho broken spell. It had not been our lato to have tlio famo of viotorv wLhout toil, for ours ad been a fighting regiment. Dangers shared together had strengthened the loud of friendship, and tlieso yearly meetings were rich in stories of old imes stories of daring, or of tho kind es of some who had gono to eternal est. None of us wero old men. I ho Colonel wa just -10, tho Major was .'15 and tho Captain was 33 and 1 six years ins junior, wo wero an marricu except, tho Major, and it was n wonder to us mat ho was not married, lor tno junjor was just the man who could havo mado a good and truo woman's life bright and joyous. Handsome, brave, genorous,a delight ful talker, an author of no common mer it, and possessed of a fortune ample anoiitrli to make tno world s cointorts end luxuries accessible, the Major was much souj'ht in society and was ever ready to respond to tho call. Hut while attentive to all women with whom ho was thrown in contact, ho was noted for tho impartiality with which ho be stowed these attentions. "Wo knew that ho could easily carry off a desirable vr'r.o but ho never mado the attempt. As our knowledp'o ot Ins character had shown us his chivalrous devotion to women, and as we knew that durini; our acquaintance ho had never had pref erence for any special one, we wero puz zled to know why tins was so. c had mado him the point of subtle attacks re garding the matter, but the .Major was a- cood strategist, and ho turned tho Hank of every lorward movement wo ass- aved in this direction, divertint our tall, into other ehanels, until at last we had dropped the matter as one that might touch on a sorrow of which wo knew nothini'. Tho talk had been lively all throtiEh the evening, centreing about reminiscences ot loviai limes (lunn raid we had made, which had been pro lilio of amusing adventure Tho Major had shown at his best, and we had listened to hishumerous nar rative with keen delight. So tho dinner had passed and tlio desert was before us tlio servants had been dissmissed and ci gars wero lit. Then ono of those uuac countable silences that come to such as semblages fell upon us, and wo puffed lway at our cigars and said nothing until the stillness crew strangely wein ind powerful. Suddenly tho Maj'or stopped snioak mir, and, looking at each ot us in turn said, 'sYou have often wondered why am not married, and now 1 will tell vou. "it is a long story, ma it may no ot interest to you, and as wo are all that is left I have thought that the secret should bo between us. "When tlio war camo I had just grad uated trom the college, and, as you know, enlisted as a private. It was no easy matter for mo to do this, but felt it to bo my duty. Iwasyoung.strong and ablo to light. 1 had means to make tlio life of r. soldier as comfcrtablo as it could bo made, and, while my mind Ion cd for literary and peaceiul scenes, still felt that I owed my country a duty It was but a short tiino alter 1 enlisted when wo were ordered South.

As vou know, we quartet! two months in that village; but before wo had marched South I had asked Mabel to bo my wifo and had heard her low voice tell of n love that I knew would bless mo through all the years.

Tho press toils without intermission to keep readers abreast of Irish wants.

IlOW (11(1 "the green islo of tho ocean" get into a state ot affairs so peculiarly painful and cxceptionablef Searching back,it is un happily lound that, unlike the sister countries, Ireland - had never any settled national monarchy to consolidate and mould its social condidion It had petty kings nnd chiefs ruling over certain dis tricts of the country, nnd under whom the arts of pence made no proper advance. There wero brilliant ecclesiastical epi sodes. There were heroioexploits,particu larly iu expelling Scandinavian intruders. Finally, there was a long and ineffectual struggle against tho Anglo-Xorman con- inest, (luring winch matters were worse ather than better. The English treated Ireland neither as a colony according to modern maxims, nor as an integral part of tho realm of England. They kept it down Iby force; and to help them in do ing so, they partitioned a great part of tno country among Jingiish generals and other favorites. Tlio people were Celtic in race nnd iu langunge,nnd for tho most part they wero esteemed littlo better than uniameauie savages. i no result was frequent revolts,each ending in fresh ha treds and Iresh conliscations. Tho attempts of the English Govern ment to liiiroiiuco mo ixciormed laith m tho sixteenth century, stirred up fierce disseirsious in Ireland, that havo only in late years been appeased. Tho ficht, of tho Earls of Tyrono and Tvrconnel. con sequent oi nn abortive rebellion, aflorded dames l. an opportrnitv. in 1008. of ilanting Ulster with settlers from Enir and and Scotland, whoso dscendauts still foim an important ingredient in the iioithern part of tho island. AH previous insurrections wero outdone bv tho re bellion of Kill, which produced a, state ot nnnrcny thnt Insted till 1019, when tho country wns overrun by Cromwell. Widespread devastations ensued, with gifts of estates to favorito soMiers and partisans. The Revolution of 1088 brought a renewal of disaster. Tho intives generally took tho nart of tho fugitive James II.; were defeated by tlio forces of King William at tho ISoyne, and again at Aughrim, July 12, 1091, which settled tho affair. Uiifortunatelv, but very naturally, tho recollection of these humiliating defeats by William of Orange wero kept alive by n series of penal statutes unwisely conceived in tho narrowest political spirit, nnd which though long flinco relnxed, still cnuso hostile party divisions aud occasional outbreaks. To do England Justice, it has a wn all know, endeavored by recent measures to atouo for past wrongs, and shortcom ings; nor, to all appearance, will it ceaso its endeavors to win tho oonfidenco of tho Irish by n coui-so of generous deal ings and unswerving justice. Hut how long will it tako to undo tho snd conse quences of previous misgovernment? Traditions of conquest and oppression may in timo dio out or feebly linger ns n matter of sentiment in song and ballad literature. The distressing consideration is , that usage adverse to a tranquil so cial system havo been bequeathed and losteied through the ignorance and gross mismanagement of tho adventurers to whom lands wero heedlessly assigned in heritage. This brings us to the root of icrennial disorder in Ireland. In tho urge towns with a miscellaneous bnsv population, all goes well. Distractions are cammed to certain rural districts, where agriculture rcmainsintlint wretch. ed condition which renders the comfort able subsistence of a growing population iu ln lui-nu iiiHincis, scatter ed ill different directions; that form tho hideous blot in tho condition of Ireland, und nro n taint to the whole rural sys tem. The Irish ililllcultv is not referable, tn distinction of race, but to an erroneous method of laud tenure, springing out of tho concourse ot historical circumst.nices just averted to. To make this plain, wo shall briefly point out what, according to oijserviiiioii nnu experience, nro tho true ..1 i ! 1 . principles on which farms for ngiicultu- rnl purposes can mono bo advantageously conducted. Tho farm must consist of several hundred ncres. The tenant must possess a proper amount of capital nnd skill to bo insured a reasonablo length of tenure for n scries of yearn, At the cost oi tno landlord uio larmmustbopiit into a workable condition nwogards drain age, fences and roads; and bo provided with a uuitablo dwelling house, cottages for laboiers, and offices of various kinds. Thu teiinnt on entering his lenso lias nothing to do but to commence agricul tural operations with all tho appliances of his nit, and iu duo season to pay his stipulated rent. No permanent improve ments are expected from him. At the closo of his lease, if it bo his will to go, ho leaves things ns ho found them.less un incidental tear and wear, If ho lias dono nny smious damage ho must make it Iguuu. 4i can muse no ciaim tor im provements, btcnuso tlio landlord does all that is required for his accommoda tion. For tho same rcson tho outgoing has no transaction with the incoming tenant further than receiving payment for the crop Iu tho ground. Selling tho good will of a farm is unknown. Such is the practico of land tenure iu Scotland. where ii not absolutelv perlrct, it is as nearly so as in nny pnrt of llio world. Tho system evidently imposes heavy ob ligations on tho landlord; but these are nccepted ns n matter of course. Whero nn owner cannot overtake theso obhgn tions, ho must either borrow money or sell out. So clearly nro tho mutual duties of landlord and tenant defined, that usu ally no disputes arise. Wc maintain that it would not bo easy to improve on these primary arrangements. An a rule, so tar as we can gather.lhe simple and efficacious process of laud tenure now described is reversed in Ire land. The outlay for dwelling houses, fences and other improvements i thrown on the tenant who hns a precarious occu pancy, nnil may bo evicted without compensation,- on failing to pay his rent. jmi nisii cui respondent, willing in inu limes. October fl, nnd who gives nis name and nddress, explicitly says of Irish tenant larmers: "all the buildings, len- ces, larnt roads, surlace improvements, nnd the drainage connected with tho Irish landed property, aro tho invest ments of the tenants. F.ven whero the landlord borrows money for drainage purposes from the Hoard of "Works, the tenant is made to repay in the shape oi increased rent, and is therefore tho per son who has mado tho expenditure iu the end." In this statement there arc per haps exaggerations; but, undeniably there is n very common practice in Ire land ot throwing the cost ot dwelling houses and some other essential charges on the tenant. It can scarcely bo other wise; ior whero landlords have hundreds if not thousands of small tenants, they could not provide them nil with houses, nnd aro lrom sheer necessity obliged to let them construct dwellings for them selves. We nro prepared to learn that these outlays of the tenants aro consid ered iu the adjustment of rent; but tho practice is wholly inconsistent with laud tenure, and is seemingly tho fertile source of disputes and entanglements. Admitting that tho statements on the subject are substantially true, we are en titled to say, thnt here, staring us m tho face, is tho cause of all the uproar iu Ireland an enormous mass of small tenants occupying the soil. The land lords, it may be said, tdid not create tho tenants. In the desperate struggle for existence, the tenants came to the land lords and bid one. ngainst the other for their respective holdings. That may ac count for tho manner in which tho small tenure system began; but, it insufficiently justifies its continuance from generation to generation, when, by the multiplica tion of fanulics, the system goes beyond all bounds ot decency and endurance Land exists, not to suit tho mere fancy, tho indolence or tho nvnnco ot owners. nor ns n field whereupon paujier tenants may multiply till the end of time, but for tho general good ot tho community. Landowners, no matter where they are located, are, in the eye of Xaturc and man, invested with a soluiiiu trust, not to bo trilled with. Irish landlords, in their absenteeism, carelessness or extrav agance, havo failed to recognize the ob ligations incumbent on their position lu the light ot i'.nglish nnd bcottish pro cedure, they havo not done their duty Wc do not deny that there aro good and humane landlords in Ireland, who have enlarged their farms to proper dimen sions, and spent considerable sums on pernuinent improvements. Unlit is not to tliOM; wo allude. We arc speaking of the hosts of landlords with swarms of small tenants, whose condition is an an omalny, an anachronism, a national scan dal; nnd wo ask with some reason, why the empire at large is to bo continually tortured with reports of misery and dis order, arising out of tho blundering man agement of tills class of Irish cstatCK? Tt was lately stated iu a newspaper, that a certiain nobleman in Ireland had a thou sand tenant farmers with rents not abovo ten pounds each. Still later an Irish landlord publicly makes tho avowal: "I receive rcntK in Kerry from four thou sand ono hundred and sixty tenants." Such a confession! How can a country bo peaceful or prosperous whilo tho lands agricultural or pastoral, are cut up into patches ot a lew acres, distributed among peasant occupants at rents five, ten, or to bo very liberal, say twenty pounds a neadi Vo Good I'reaclifnp;.
