Coldstream A large party in assembled to celebrate the feast of St. Partridge at Revelstoke Hall, an old country house about two miles dis tant from the northwest coast of Devon.— The various branches of English society are very fairly represented by its component parts. There are two peers, three members of the lower house, some guardsmen, some under-graduates, a clergyman, and a lieu tenant in the navy. But our hero is not a representative man; yet he bolongs to a class which, called into existence by the accumulated wealth of the nineteenth cen tury, is ever on the increase. Frederick Tyrawley resembles Sir Charles Coldstream, inasmuch as he has been every where and done ererythint but ho is by no means used up, and can still take an in terest in whatever his,,band Sods to do.-- Nor is his everything everybody else's ev erything. It is not bounded by Jerusalem and the pyramid 4. Mr. Tyrawly has fought in more than one State of South America, and has wan dered fur more than two years from isle to isle of the Pacific. A. mysterious reputa tion hovers round him. He is P apposed to have duke many things, but no one is very clear what they are; and it is not likely that much informatint un the point will be obtained from hint, for he seldom talks much, and never et eaks of himself. his present mission appears to be to kill partridges, play cricket and dress himself. Not that it muNt be supposed that he btu; ever been in the habit of wearing less clothing than the %mi nim of the country in which he may have been located required; but only that at the present time he devoted much attention to buff waistcoats and gauze neck-ties braided coats and curled mustachios. Such as he is, however, he is an object of interest to the feminine portiod of the party as Revelstoke Hell; for he is rich and handsome, as well as mysterious, and he cannot be more than two-and-thirty. And the ladies at Rstrelstoke outnumber the men: fur although it, is still rare for the fair sex to participate actively in the saturnalia of the partridge-got, they will always be found hovering in considerable numbers on the outskirts of the feast; and the varieties of the British lady are fairly represented. There are Rome mantunts with daughters to warm and there are some daughters with mamma to prevent marrying again, which is, perhaps, the most difficult thing of the two, as she has an income in her own right. There are blondes and brunettes, and pretty brown-haired, brown•e^ed girls who hover between the two orders. and .asehine the most dangerous characteristics of both, who can wear both blue and pink, and who look prettier in the one color than they do in the other; but who always command your suf frage in furor of that which they are wear ing when you /talk at them. And there is Constance Baynton, with gray eyes sad black hair. And the nicest critic of feminine appearance might be de fied to state what she had worn, half an hour after he left her; for no one can ever look at anything except her face. Yet Constance is three-and-twenty, and still unmarried. Alas! what cowards men arel The fact is that Constance is very clever; but as Mrs. Mellish (the widow) says, "not clever euough to hide it." Is she a little vexed ut her present condi tion? Certainly she does nut exhibit any tendency to carry out Mrs. Mellish's sug gestion, if it has ever been repeated to her. The young men are more afraid of her than ever; and certainly she does say very sharp things sometimes: Es;•ecially she is severe upon idlers, the butterflies of existence. She appears to consider that she has a special mis sion to arouse them; but they do not appear to like being lectured. With the young la dies she is a great favorite, for she is very affectionate; an i though so beautiful and disti,guished, she has protect herself to be not so langerous a rival as might have been expected. Indeed, it has happened, more than once, that male admiration, rebound ing from the hard surface of her manner, has found more yielding metal in the bon ma of her particular friends. Besides, she is always ready to lead the van its the general attack upon the male sex, when the ladies retire to the drawing-room. Not that she ever says anything behind their backs she would not be ready to re peat to their faces; but in that case probably she would not meet with such general sup port. In Mr. Tyrawley she effecter? to disbe lieve. Site stuted her opinion to her inti mate friends, that she did not believe he ever had done, or ever would do, anything worth doing; but that Le plumed himself 0:1 a cheap reputation, which as all were igno" rant of its foundation, no one could possibly impugn. There is reason to believe that in this in stance Miss Constance was nut as conscien tious as usual; but that she really enter tained a higher opinion of the gentleman than she chose to confess. lie certainly was nut afraid of her, and had even dared to contradict her favorite theory of the gen eral worthlessness of English gentlemen of the nineteenth century. It was one wet morning when she had been reading Scott to three ur four of her particular friends— and it must be confessed that she read re znarkably well—that she began to lament the decline of chivalry. Tyrawley was sit ting half in and half out of range. Per haps she talked a little at him. At any rate he choose to accept the challange. "I cannot agree with you, Miss Baynton," he said. "It is true we no longer wear la dies' glo - ves in our helmets, nor do we com pel harmless ilidivi luals, who possibly may have sweethearts of their own, to admit the superiority of our lady-love at the point of the lance; but of all that was good in chiv alry—of counge, truth, honor, enterprise, self•sacritce—ynu will find its much in the nineteenth century as in the twelfth. He brightened up as he spoke, and it was quite evident that he believed what he said—a circumstance which always gives an advantage to a disputant. (Prom "Once a %Veva!, More than one pair of bright eyes smiled approval, and Miss Constance saw a proba bility of a defection from her ranks. She changed her tactics. "You are too moderate in your claims for your contemporaries, Mr. Tyrawley. If I remember right, modesty has always been considered a qualification of a tree knight." "I am not ashamed to speak the truth," he replied; "your theory would have been more tenable before the days of the Crimean war and the Indian mutiny; but the men who lit their segars in the trenches of the Retktn, and who carried the gate of Delhi, may bear comparison with Bayard or Coeur de Lion." —Oh! I do not allude to our soldiers," said she; of course I know they ate brave; but" —and here .he hesitated a moment. till pos sibly piqued because her u , ual success had not attended her in the passage of arms, she concluded- 6 but to our idle gentlemen, who seem to hare no heart for anything." Tyrawley smiled. 'Possibly you may judge too much by the outside," he said.— •'A am inclined to fancy that some of those whom you are pleased to call idle gentle men would be found to have heart enough for anything that honor, or duty, or chivalry, could Snd for them to do," ••I hupo you are right," raid Miss Con stance, with a slightly perceptible curl of her upper lip, which implied that she did nut think so. Tyrawley bowed, and the oonrereation terminated a few minutes afterwards; when he had left the rotitn, the conversation of the young ladies was interrupted y Master George Baynton, age t fourteen, who sud denly attacked his sister. "I think you are wrong. you know, when you cell fyntwley a humbug." "My dear," said Constance with a start, I never said anything so ru—" "Well, you implied it you know, in your girl's w rds. and I think you made a mis take; for he can shout like one miter misses a thing, and I bear he can ride no end. iie was rather out of practice in his cricket when he came; hut he is improv ing every day. You should have seen the hit be made yesterday—right up to the cedars." ••Di you think there is nothing else fur a man to do but ride end shoot and play cricket?"

"Oh! that's all very well; but you should hear what Morton, our second master, says —and a great brick be is too—'Whatever you do, do it as well as you can, whether it's cricket or verses.' And I believe if Tyrawley had to fight, he'd go in and win, and no mistake," ".111!" said Constance with a sigh, "ho has evidently—what is it you boys call it? tipped you. Is'nt it?" Indignant at this insult, George walked off to find his friend, and have a lesson in The day lingered on, after the usual fash ion of wet days in September in full coun try houses. There was a 1 the dancing af ter dinner; bnt all retired early in hopes of a finer day on the morrow. Tyrawley had some letters to write, so that it was past two before he thought of going to bed, lie always slept with his window open, and as he threw up the sash, a fierce gust of wind blew out his candles, nod blew down the looking-glass. "Pleasant, by Jove!" he soliloquised. "I wonder whether it's smashed—unlucky to break a looking-glass—l'm hanged if I know where the matches arc; never mind, I can find my way to bed in the dark.— What a night!" as a flash if lightning illu mined the room for a moment, and he bent out of the window. "The wind must be nor-nor- west. Cheerful for anything corning up to Bristol from the s , .uthw•ard. I won der what a storm is like on this cost! I have a great mind to go and see. I shall never be able to get that hall-dour pen without wak ing them up; what a nuisance! Stay—cap ital idea?-111 go by the window. Before starting upon his expedition he changed the remains of his evening dress (for he had been writing in his dressing gown) for a flannel shirt and trousers,whilst a short pea-jacketand glazed hat completed his array. Isis room was on the first fluor, and he bad intended to drop from the win dow-sill; but the branch of an elm came so near, he found that unnecessary, as spring ing to it he was on the ground, like a eat, in an instant. lle soon found his way ac• ross country "like a bird," to the edge of the cliff, The sea far miles Bleated one sheet of foam. But a flash Of lightning discovered a group of 11,4iirt:4 ab•wt a quarter of a mile a.d he dlstioguisoe L l shouts in the in[er ,la ~1 the storm. He was soon among them, and be found that all eyes were tamed on a vessel which had struelc on a lockt within tmo hundred yards of the , •lifl: It was evident that she mould go to pieces under their very eyes "Is there no way of opening communica tion with her?" he asked of an old coast gourd man. Why ye see, sir, we have sent to Bil ford for Manhy's rockets; but she must break up before they come." "How f•r is it to Bilf,rd?" "Better than seven mile, your honor." "If we could get a rope to them we might save the crew." "Every one of them, your honor; but it ain't poQsible." "1 think a man might swim nut." "The first wave would dash him to pieces against the cliff." "What depth of water below?" "The cliff• goes down like a wall—forty fathom, at least." "The deeper the better. What distance to the watet?" "A good fifty feet." "Well, I have dived off the main yard of the Chesapeake. Nose listen to me. Have you got some light, strong rope?" "As much as you like." "Well, take a double coil round my chest, and do you take care to pay it out fast enough as I draw upon it." "You won't draw much after the first plunge; it will be the saute thing as suicide, every bit." "Well, we shall see. There's no time to be lost; lend me a knife." And in an instant he whipped off his hat, boots, nd peajacket, then with the knife he cut (-Zits sleeves and passed the rope through them, that it might chafe him less. The eyes of the old boatman brightened. There was evidently a method in hie mad- ll= "You area very good swimmer, I suppose, sir?" •'I hate dived through the surf at Naha heva a few times." "I never knew a white man that could do that." Tyrawley "flut whatever you do," ho said, "mind and let me have plenty of rope Now, out of the way, my friends, and let have a clear start." He walked slowly to the edge of the cliff looked over to see how tench t"' rock shelved outwards; then returned and looked to see that there was plenty of rope f u r him to car ry out, then took a short run, and leaped as if from the springing board of a plunging bath. He touched the water full five-and twenty feet from the edge of the cliff. Down into its dark depth he went like a plummet. out anan to rise again. Al. he reached the surface he saw the crest of a mighty wave o few yards in front of him—the wave that he had been told was to dash him lifeless against the cliff. But now his old experi ence of the PsoiEn stands him in good stead. For two moments he draws breath, then, ere it reaches bum, he dives below its centre.— Ills water duties spinet the cliff, but the swimmer rises far beyond it. A faint cheer rises from the shore as they feel him draw upon the rope. The waves follow in suc cession, and he dives again and again, rising like an otter to take breath, making very steadily onward, though more below the water than above it. We must now turn to the ship. The waves have made a elean breach over her bows. Tho crew are crowded upon the stern. They hold on to the bulwarks and await the end, for no boat can live in such a sea. Suddenly she is hailed from the wa ters. "Ship-a-boyl" shouts a loud, clear voice, which makes itself heard above the storm. "Throw me a rope or a buoyl" The life-buoy was still hanging in its ac customed place by the mainmast. The cap tain almost mechanically takes it down, and with well-directed aim throws it within a yard or two of the swimmer. In a moment it is under his arms, and in half a minute he is on board. "Come on board, sir?" he says to the cap tain, pulling one of his wet curls profes-ion ally. The captain appeared to be regarding him as a visitor from the lower world; so, turning to the crew, he lifted up the rope he had brought from the shore. Than, for the first time, the object of his mission flashed upon their minds, and a desperate cheer broke forth from all hands, instantly re-echoed from the shore. Then a strong cable is attached to the small rope and drawn on board—then a second—and the commu nication is complete. But no time is to be lost, for the stern shows signs of breaking up, and there is a lady passenger. Whilst the captain is planning a sort of chair in which she might be moved, Tyrawley lifts her up on his left arm, steadies himself with his right by the upper rope, and walks along the lower as if he had been a dancer. He is the first on shore, for no sailor would leave till the lady was safe. But they soon follow, and in five minutes the ship is clear —five minutes more, and no trace of her is left. finvelstoice Hall has been aroused by the news uf the wreck, and Mr. Raveletoke bate just arrived with brandy and blankets.— Him Tyrawley avoids; and thinking that he can be of no further use, he betakes himself across the country once more, and by the aid of the friendly elm regains his chamber without observation. The lady, whom Tyrawley had deposited in a cottage, with a strong recommendation that she should go to sleep immediately, was soon carried off in triumph by Mr. Revel stoke to the llall, and welcomed by Lady Grace at half-past three in the morning...- There were very few of the guests who slept undisturbed that night. The unusual noise in the home aroused everybody, and many excursions were made in unfinished c ostume to endeavor to ascertain *hat was going on. The excitement culminated when the iniseelhineous assembla , ,..,e who had con dueled the captain and some of the crew to the Hall, after being supplied with ale and stronger liquid., conceived that it would be the correct thing to give three cheers at the hour of half past five. It was then that Lord Rodinulton, an Irish peer, labor ing under an erroneous im pression that the house was attacked, was discovered on the landing Once, in array consisting principally of a short dressing gown, flannel-waistcoat, and a fowling•piece. Breakfast that morning was a desultory meal. People finished, and talked about the wreck, and began again. It seemed quite impossible to obtain anything like an accurate account of what bad taken place At last the captain appeared, and though al most overwhelmed by the multiplicity of questions, nevertheless between the inter vals of broiled ham and coffee, he managed to elucidate matters a little. Then came the question, Who was it that swam to the vessel' Tyrawley had only been at Revelstoke a few days, and was a stranger in the neighborhood. None of the servants had reached the coast till it was all over, so there had been no one to recognize him. "I scarcely saw him," said the captain, "but he was a dark, tallish man, with a great deaf of beard." "Was he a gentleman?" asked Miss Con stance Boynton, who hod been taking a deep interest in the whole affair. "Well, d'yo see, Miss, I can't exactly say, for he hadn't much on; hut if he isn't he'd make a good one, that I'll go bail fur. Ile's th e e..olast hand I erer saw. Stop, now I think of it; I shouldn't woader if' he was a naval man, for he pulled his fore-lock, half• laughing, and said, 'Cane on atol, sir,' to me, when we pulled him up." '•Perhaps it was Rutherford," said Mr. Revelstoke, naming the lieutenant in the navy, "he is tall and dark." "And he has been letting his moustache grow since he cause on shore," observed a young lady. "Where is he?" But Mr. Rutherford won gone down to the cliff to inspect the scene of the dienster. "Begging your pardon, sir," said the but ler, "it could not hare been any gentleman .4 topping in the house, for the doors were fastened till the people came down to tell you of the wreck." At this moment—haltpast ten, A. M.- 31r. Tyrawley walked into the breakfast room, He was got up, if possible., mere elaborutely than usual. ••Novr, here's a gentleman, captain, Mr. Tyre , .ley, who hu been all wet' the ercal. $1,50 PER. YEAR IN ADVANCE; $2,00 IF NOT IN ADVANCE. and met with some strange adventures. I'll be bound he never saw anything to equal the affair of last night." "You'd a nearish thing of it, captain?" inquired Tyrawley, speaking very slowly. Ms manner and appearance quite disarmed any suspicion the captain might have •had of his iden thy. "Five minutes more, sir, and Davy Jones' locker would have held us all. Begging your pardon, Miss," apologizing to Con stance. The captain had already repeated the story a reasonable number of times, and was anxious to finish his breakfast. So Mies Constance gave it all fur the benefit of Mr. Tyrawley, dressed in her own glowing periods, Tyrawley made no observation upon her recital, but took a third egg_ "Well, Mr. Tyrawley," said she at last, "What do you think of the man who swam out to the wreck?" "Wily, I think, Mi9El Baynton—l think," said he, hesitating, "that he must have got very wet. And I sincerely hope be won't catch cold." There was a general laugh at this, in which the captain joined; but it is to be feared that Miss Constance stamped her pretty little foot under the table. Tyrawley turned and began to talk to Miss Mellish, who was sitting on his right. As he was speaking the dour on his left opened, and Lady Grace Revelstoke entered with the lady passenger. The I,dy heard him speak. There are some voices which a woman never forgets, and the dangerous journey over the rope had not passed in si lence.

Well, I never;—dash my wig—well, Here, shake hands, sir, will you?" And he stretched across the table a brawny hand, not much smaller than a shoulder of mutton. The grip with which Tyrnwley met his seemed to do a great deal more to convince him of his identity than the lady's reaogni. tion of her preserver. Tho day was as wet as the preceding.— Miff an hour after breakfast Mr. Tyrawley lounged into the back dravring-rcnn.— There sat Miss Constance Boynton, and by a singular coincidence, which favors lovers or historians, she sat alone. Now Constance has made up her mind that she was bound to apologise to Mr. Tyrawley for her rude speeches of yester day; she had also decided chat she would compliment him on his g.diunt conduct.— She had, in fact, arranged a neat, quiet, cold, formal, appr.priate fu•cn of words in which bhe would 4 lve her views expression. :Sld hov do you think she delivered them?

I had heard of the anatomical mschanician of Leicester Square, whom the Q•ieen delighted to hoinir with commissions for cunningly devised limbs fur wounded soldiers during the Crimean war, hut never realized to my self the art with which man can eke out the defects of nature until I glanced over this little volume; the contents of which so struck me. that I was determined to see for myself how far that cunning, biped man can simulate Pie handswork of our great mother. was received courteously, and on esphtin ingthe nature of my errand, an assistant was sent through the different workshops to sat isfy my curiosity. A very few minutes conversation with my oonductor left the impression upon my mind that, instead of having any profound respect for Nature, he looked upon her as some times rather in the way than otherwise: for i happening to ask him playfully, as a kind of startling question, with how small a mod. icum of humanity he could manage to work, "Sir," said he, very seriously. "we only want the vital principle; give us nervous centres and we find all the rest." "But," said I, not prepared for this lib oral offer. "suppose a man had only three inches of stamp?" "Three inches of stamp:" be replied con temptuously, "with that allowance we could do anything. There is, 'somewhere in be hind, a rehtleman burn without limbs, who goes cut hunting in a clothes-basket strap ped un his horse's back. If we enuld only get hold of him. his friends, in six weeks, would not know him." An inspection of toy friend's ateZers. cer tainly, went far to justify the confident spirit in whiob his assistant spoke.

"These," said my compttnion, are some of our first-class goods, Would you like - t;', see the mechanism? Gaodge; pull down the stocking."
