The first long vacation of my career as a barris
ter vii t hand ; and my professional gain tad
already exceeded the sum of X5 4s. I considered
nyaelf entitled to a few month' recreation. Of
"my learned brethren there were a number In aim-
! liar circumstances with myself, all of whom jteemed
convlnced that the labor of Jbe Winter required
aome pleasing way of renewing the elasticity of
.the mind. It was soon evident thai "travel" wm
to be the order of the Summer. And a the day
grew longer and the sun brighter, a change gradu
ally came over the general topic of conversation
with us. There was lea of the polltica'of the day,
and the ordinary chit-chat of bar appointment
nd doings; while on every aide you beard of Jthe
Rhine," "the Danube," "the Pyramids," and even
."the Falls of Niagara." The more confined Im
aginations of others reached no further than Wale
or the Cumberland Lake. Ireland, however.-wa
scarce ever named. It was the year derisively
named "the Rejeal year," and the alarming ac
counts of proceeding in It diverted the feet jof
"Saxon" travelers to other. land.-. For my own
part, I had made up my rofnd to follow the herd
at large, and submit to foreign extortion and un-
clean new,' when circumstance occurred to alter
my plans. Unforeseen family affidnrrendered it
Imperati ve on -roe to go to Dublin on business con
nected with a brother who., wa quartered there,
and whojn consequence of the prevailing alarm,
wa unable to procure even one fortnight' leave
' of absence. Hitherto, among my companion I
had talked merely of "the Ueyser," "the fral
""Mountain," or "the Caspian Sea;" but when I
found how matter stood I determined to make
the best of my position. Accordingly, a day after,
wben solicited by acquaintance to Join a RhIue
Cirty," I expressed my resoiution-of visiting I re
nd. With difficulty I persuaded them I was
Dot jesting; and then numerous argument were
advanced to dissuade me from so suicidal an act.
. Argument was followed by advice; and. many
-rr-were the. caution. I received and the precautions
I was recommended to take. Among those pres
ent was a friend of mine named Thomson, who
'was rather given to be cynical in his remarks, and

Having been always accustomed to treat me sub

with due respect. Conjecturing that "the baby"

my legal ingenuity, did I tempt the allegiance of

The buiiie which took tne to Ireland was not
finished until the tid of the allotted fortnight.
However, I determined to pay my promised visit
at Craigduff." Accordingly I afcireed a letter to
my respected relative, stating that three days more
were all that were requirel for me to remain In
Ireland, and that on the .IthTlioped to be with her
at Cheltenham. I need scarcely say that I took
care not to alarm tin worthy lady by-telling how
I intended tosfend the intervening time.
The last evening of my s.tayin Dublin was spent
at a Mr. Flixton', in one of the squares. This
gentleman had a son who was in the same regi
ment to which Fel worth had belonged, and who,
about a month previous, had been on a Visit to hi
former friend. This young manspoke of him in
the" highest terms, lie saidlie had talents for any
subject to which he might turn. his attention, but
that his. hore "altogether eugrossed him ; "and
such a collection as he ha !'
I had no further conversation with young Flix
ton at that time; but at a suUpjuent part .of the
evening he came up to me with his partner, to
whom he Introduced me. The lady appeared about
eighteen years of age. Her exprein wa one of
combined intelligence and awectuesa, .while her

taming vicious animals. It was several days be

during which time Fel worth learned his history.
Suddenly the animal gave way to his temper and

He was unable to'withdraw it, and fell against the
pole. The firmness of the other horses alone pre
vented the coach from going over. The" driver

The days of school are quickly followed by the
active business and the varied event of life. Itus

to Ireland. In his. travels there he visited the

riage. Of Frederick Fel worth I saw occasional
mention in the India newspapers; such as his dis
tinguishing himself In tlger-shooMng expeditious,
riding horse-races, and the like. Lately however,
I heard nothing of him.
t)n my way to Ireland I diverged a few mile
from the line of railway for the purpose of spend
ing a day with the Itussells. 1 found the "little

Russell's marriage; and that when about to re
join his regiment, after a few months' leave of ab

The following morning Frederick Felworth took
me over the. farm, where I saw much to admire.
Everything was well arranged. - , If - ' L

"for they are the best ; and I flatter myself I can

These word were stokeu with an increastd an

lay. . - . . - .. '
The stable was well fitted up In every respect.
There were three horse In the stalls, and one in a
loose-box, which opened, Into the. stable.. The
first was an active-looking, compact, black horse,"
with a fierce, unsettled expression of eye, and sev
eral blemishes on hi leg, while a chain attached
from the wall to the post prevented the unwa'ry

bay horse, of high breeding. He was.
out of work, however, one of bis legs being bound
up. The fourth was a thoroughbred gray horse,
oue of the finest animals I ever beheld.

As we were entering the house,. Felworth-In
formel me that Mrs. and Miss Vernon were to
join their family party at dinner that" day, andl
that we would Ue obliged to walk home With them
in the evening. The time passe'd most agreeably,
and the walk wa delightful ! Un that moonlight
nlglitas I parted from her,-1 felt satisfied ' that
there wa no more lovely person In the world
than Alice Vernon. iS - i .

These remarks of Felworth served to remove
some unpleasant matter from my mind. I saw
that I would experience no rivalry from him, and
I thought myself a match for Flixton if I had but
a fair field.' .'.'.. '
I must confess that the. next morning I did
entertain serious apprehensions of the proposal
tanuem exiiinition. And, had I been able to de
vise any feasible plan of carrying Mrs. Russell's
advice Into execution, T would eagerly,, have
adopted' If. "My difficulties," however,. seemed to

Felworth then went on to aayahat the hone
was perfectly safe as a leader, and that if he wa
not sure that he was so he would not consider
himself Justified In risking the life of any one. -He
added that there were only two things of
which he had the least dread; the one was the
sudden opening of an umbrella ; but there waa no
risk of that In weather such as we were then-enjoying;
the' other was a shot fired near. the horse
but then there was little- danger in that way
either, for there was not a gun In the neighbor
hood, nor anything at which "to fire. Before we
arrived at bur destination, he said he had directed
bis. servant to be in readiness to take home the '
gig from iVlolet 'Rank, for we could return by
another road and call there.-. - ;-

After, strolling about the village for an hour.
