I discovered the fortunate suitor to be one
Captain Lsnreace Mounsjoy.
Mr Weynall, it seemed, was not altogether
satisfied with him or his pioepects, but Lucy had
set her heart upon him, and it was at her owe
disposal. To my half joking questions about her
loser, she gave me such replies as convinced me,
in mappers and attractions st least, be was the
same who had charmed us all in youth ; " but he
looks so pale sod thin at times," she said, "that
I eau scarcely bear to look at him." Au early
day was appointed fur me to meet the captain at
'Mersey Grove—her father's house--and I was
impatient until it came. If he blushes or looks
screfused at seeing me, thought I, it will be a
good sign ; that sad business at college will still
beat his memory, and prove him to be not is
to shame It was his first sad last and
worst error, perhaps; and who am I, thlt I should
bring the sin of his youth against another man ?
How many of as in early life have committed
fatale., and even crimes, and yet have reached
harbor and smooth water--end what right have
we to seed another who is about to join us, back
again upin the stormy deep? Full of these
magnauiluous reflections, I arrived at Mr. %Vey
oall's and found within 'doors only that gentle
man himself, who bade me seek the young couple
in the garden. They were walking together un
der the trellis work of ivies at the far end, and
they never heeded my flxttsteps as I came along
the high steno terrace towards them. He had
his arm around her waist, and was oombating, it
seemed, soma opinion or Scruple of hers, for his
musical tones, though I could not hear their sense
caught up and overpowered hers.. I may be ex.
caved, angler the ciroutustamies, for likening him

a. touch of the soldier's history as he chose to
tell Ile sp .ke of his Indian wars, and showed
its quite a ladder of medals. Ife poured out nv
era anecdote, all of which be finished off by
lOW prudent or moral reflection ; lamented this
luau's p.utAioo fur play, another's thirst for excite
tueot, mud a third's absurd extravagance ; in fact,
acted the part of 1, patters souto-;aw to be to
perfection. But later in the evening, over the
cigars, (which he made an apology for indulging
in,) sod when the old gentleman had retired to
rest, he was more natural in his communication..
He spoke of Indian intrigues, and marriages"oo
epee of the colonel's fondness for " brag;" of
the ease with which Cheroot Raees way be woo
by the crafty : of the " outsides" there had been
in the regiment-..and, exbilited all the
repertoire of a fast military man. His humor
was quite gone,.but_ a bitter wit overflowed Lis
talk, and an utter disbelief in gooduess and - goal
men paraded all. "As one man of the world
tenting to another," such Ind such, he ,aid, ; were
the reel trutbsr—viz. : just the sort I,f horrible
hopeless gospel, always heralded by that pantie
ular expression. And yet, when he drew him
self up to his full height, and wished we "Good

warmly his outstretched hand; and long after
the echoes of his springy footsteps bad died away

and drag down with him another, pure and bright
and deer to me, from its firtnameot ; and yet I
liked him still : what wonder, then, at her affee
tioo, who knew his strength and not his weak
ens? How often do we see men lute these, I
thought—men without a prayer, who have twen
ty pious lips to pray for them ; without love—
to call such—and yet so wildly adored ; with. ut

diffusing quite a glory by their pi—

many a heart, tad not the less securely even al.
though those may bare been broken. I bad no
right, without more evidenee, to compare Lau.
rues Mountjoy with suck suet u these, but I
did do so. It is not hard to Ind out in London
what a man's life has been in India, but I did
not consider myself justified in prying into the

bundance of high spirits most painfully with my
foreboding thoughts. Wilmot, the youngest of
