W. BINDLEY, Last summer, driven to distraction by the intensely hot weather and its attend- ant annoyances, dust and flies, (versistent demons, whom nothing less than the last remnant of four mental repose will satisfy) and almost fainting under that Korrible lassitude which makes one feel as if the and felt only a dull, listless body for his vortion, I determined to take my usual trip to ihe little village of Cairo. I had been there often before, and dur- ing my five years stay in Canada, I do not think any summer has passed by without witnessing my Hegira to that oasis of cool breezes and pleasant shades. There were ming things to recommend the place to wy fancy. Firstly, the landlord of the only hotel in the place was an Englishman and I say (without disrespect to the great army of DBounifaces, of which my Cairo landlord was after ail only one of the rank and file) that for a combination of kindly host and social gentleman he is without his peer, (now don't quibble at that, there | are botel keepers who are true gentlemen ; | aud paradoxical as it may seem to you, they are fewer in number than the gentle- men who, placed by fortune's vagaries in an independent position, are after all in | point of intellect and honorable motives, ouly fit to preside over un palias a debiter | le gewiecre.) { Sceondly, the piace had an English look | bout it, and thongh absent for five years | bank; which kissed the laughing water in | affectionate greeting ; with shady hollows | | haze of a summer night. | far the greatest charm of all to me lay in | the fact that it was comparatively unknown | sylvan scenes which abound through the | length and breadth of England ; but by 1'still have pleasant memories of the quiet | and unvisited by those worse than Goths, | American pleasure-seckers, and being | about frve miles from the coast, you get | sll the benefit of the euvol sea breeze with- | | out being pestered and annoyed with in- | vitations to clam bake abominations, or by strong-minded Yankee girls with pecu- | liar views regarding the sex's prerogative | and contiunally nnging the changes on Meum and Tuum. With none of the above drawbacks, within an easy walk to the | cliffs which overhung the golden sands of | the bay ; with a little river rippling through its midst, with drooping trees on either | and picturesque nooks in profusion, -- when sojourning there, I always felt in- clined, like the woodman in that truest of all fables, (though from a different cause,) | to send an inritation to the monarch Death.

There lived at an old fashioned house, just outside of Cairo, s certain Mr. Frank Leslie, 8 man of middle age, handsome, cpen-hearted, and good- natured to a fault, e:slly 1:d astrar, and in his young days supposed to have been dissipated to a degree. I say supposod, because little was known of his past life, for he had left home in high dvgéon with his father and more, and the reports which afterwards came to their ears concerning his mude of life, had materiably shortened the days of their pilgrimage towards that kourne from whence no traveller retpnmrns. " Oa the deaths of his f2iher and mother events which happensd within a few shor weeks of each other, Fravk returned to the old house at home. This was about four years aftar Mr. Holines had settled at Oak Lodge. " Anyone knowing the two men and the diversity of their dispositions, would think nothing more unlikely than that there should ever be even a semblanse of cordiality on either side. Yet strangely enough, a friendship sprang up between them which, so far as is known, was never interrupted. " Matters continuod thus for about ! three months, when it was whispered about that Leslie's friendship was rather for the wife than the husbund, and that though the intimacy between the men still continued on the same footing; that Holmes had been heard to utter threats | against some one, and as Leslie was hig only intimate, it was shrewdly conjectured that he was the une denounced.
