A Flattering Reminiscence.
" A beauty an heiress I an ec
centric guardian, whose invitation
includes any friend you like to take
with you for a few days' shooting.—
Why; my deai Fred, you have bound
me to you forever by your selection
of myself. I feel quite a new man
already ; for I must confess' that,
whenyou came in just, now, I was
suffering from anunusually desper
ate fit of the blues."
a Consequent, in a remote degree,
on hist night's supper," suggested
'red Clayton, " and a good deal also
on the way you remain cooped up in
these dismal quarters."
Fred glanced contemptuously round
my dingy " Temple. chambers as he
poke—a survey scarcely necesdary,
considering - their intimate lresem
blance to his own adjoining rooms.
However, I forbore any remark.; in•
deed the delightful prospect just pre
sented to me absorbed all my atten
tion, and I grasped my friend's hand
in a fever of gratitude.
"Tell me all about it," I said, " and
how you came to think of the." _
" There is nothing to tell," replied
Fred, seating himself on the corner
of the table and swinging his lege
backwards and- forwards lazily.—
"This morning I got a- letter from
an old fellow in the country, remind
ing me—as if I could remember it—
that be and my ,lather bad been
friends thirty years ago, and asking
me down to his place for a few days'
shooting, with permission to bring a
friend if I liked."
" And his niece that Yoe told me
of,--the , heiress I" said I.
" 0, of course he did not mention
her," said Fred, " and I merely tell
you because, if you choose to put
yourself under my guidance, I may
be the means of helping you to a
good thing. You know," he added
more deliberately, " how disinterest:-
ed my assistance can be after the lit,
tie confidences we exchanged la s t
night?'
' True," said I, charmed with the
recollection,—" your - pretty cousin
—the secret engagement—"
" Yes," interrupted i Fred ; " you ,
all about it ;., and we know more
about each other than most fellows ;
se it was natural, I should think of
you as companion 'for my holiday,
and I'm right glad you're inclined for
the trip."
So saying, and silencing my renew
ed proteatations of , pleasure, Fred
left me, appoit.ting a rendezvous of
the first train leaving foreour desti
nation, some two or 'three hours later,
Fred Clayton and 'had been school
fellows in oar early days; and many
of hie vacations were spent in my
father's house. Of late years, how
ever, he had - lived exclusively in Lon,
don ; like me, a young aspirant to
the uncertain honors of the bar, _bid,
unlike me, possessing a larg circle
I I
of, friends and acquaintance , and
never without a superabund ace of
invitations to dinners, balls, and con.
eqrts ; for Fred was said to be very
pdpular, especially in ladies' society.
. 'Except in the mere fact that we
were both-younger sons Without any
expectations, there was but little re
semblance between Fred Clayton and
r r Jack Harris. My residence in Lou.
don only dated back - a few months,
and already the great city 'possessed
no charm for me ;. I pined for the
country, for freedom; and for the ac
tive life of home. I might; indeed,
With the assistance of Clayton,

through letters of introduction from
members of my titan family, hare

received partial toleration in Society;

And now, if you think the attempt
worth making, I . will let you know
how the land lips, and, give yon a.
sketch of your campaign. The time

My reply was 'elven with a fe i rvor
quite warranted, by the ace:minty.
Fred Clayton - threw himself back.
in his seat, and aftet arriving, by
much perseverance, at a sufficiently
oicmfortabhi position, he lbegan his
instructions, interrupted
: only' by`
occasional puff at his c igar, which
momentary pnuse rendered his words
all the- more impressive ;I it least I
fincied so.
" Oar' great 'difficult_

She not still under age, which I be
lieve she is,. •My t

pends upon the i ression you make
in that quarter. I cannot exagger,
ate the importance of devoting your
self from the very first to Merrick,
—studying his tastes, ,sharing his
pleasures, and attaching him firmly
to your interests.' The old'fellciw is,
so selfish in- insisting on these-atten

free, I could stand enough of his so

no knowing, the prize is well worth.

through him, and through him alone."
And about Miss i Filing r" I in

- " Miss Effing lei a charming girl,"
said Fred ; " quite young, and ready,
to believe anything bad of it- loVer
her uncle,condemns. Being en heir
ess and a beauty she has alreadY re
ceived 'several proposals, but all have
been rejected in consequence of. the ,
suitors having bad the egregioud fol=
ly to pay more iittention to the niece
than to the uncle."
So then the uncle was the only
real difficulty.; not a very , grAve,l
thought. At'all events, forewarnial
was forearmed, and I inwardly vowed
to
- tax my patience to the utmost fox
so neat a stake. 'At' the Moment it,
never Occurred to me how:remarka
bly well-informed Clayton appeared
on all that concerned ourfuture hosts,
I, was, only too glad to find him sq
welt able to advise me,.and perhaps
a little, relieved that the great result
did not involve much courtship or at ;
tendance on a young lady.
