(urwrTeD) Durham P. 0 51 yâ€"l y1 It is now seven years ago, last Novem: ber, since the Dinorbis cast anchor near Blackwall, on her return from New Zeaâ€" land. I was a passenger, I had booked as an "intermediate," but, as there were only eight or nine passengers altogether, and as the intermediate berths could be more profitably used than by allowing one solitary passenger to interfere with the economy of the ship, I found myself occuâ€" pying one of the chief cabins, and so I re. turned in mush better style than J h#4 anâ€" ticipated. For I had had a most unlucky time of it at the diggings in New Zealand ~of course I hadâ€"having been unlucky for fourâ€"andâ€"twenty years before I gog there, it was rot at all likely that my for: tunes would at once immend. So, after strugaling on, hoping against hope, as two ont of every three were doing, and after being laid up for twelve weeks with the rheumatic fever, with other incidents eque", ly distressing, I sold off all my toels, and had now returued to England, where I had not a friendâ€"save one very kinl and tenâ€" der heart, whom I was not likely to mect â€"who cared to greet mo; or any elear noâ€" tion as to what I was going to do. I have told what I had tried, and how T | had sueceeded abroad. At home I was an ; only child ; my parents had died when I was young, and I had been brought up by one of my fathe®‘s balfâ€"brothers. Qne of these half brothers, there were twoâ€"one reported to b# enormously rich in Demaâ€"‘ rara, the other a moderately large farmer im Herefordekireâ€"my countyâ€"and this }atter i8 was who took charge of me. The hal{â€"brother in Demarara was an old bachâ€" elor; the Herefordshire yeoman was mars ried, and lrad one daughter. _ Whatever hopes I might have entertained from my uncle‘s liberality; or had secretly nourishâ€" , ed in reference to my cousinâ€"so I was nccustomed to call her, although she was but a very distant relative; a "halfâ€"consin"‘ at tmostâ€"these hopes were all blighted when I was twenty and she was seventeen, by some very unmistakable hints that I had better seek my fortune. | Poor Kate was sorry as myself at our parting ; for, although we were by no means declared lovers, yet we had arrived at that stago when ench continually met the other by accident, when the other had been into the town, or on any errand that involved a quiet walk along our quiet roads; and the moonlight was very dear to us, and our voices were in the habit of sinking to a whisper when we conversed, trivial as the matter may have been; from all of which I fancy there was enough of smoke to indicate the existence of some fire. Well seek my fortune I did, with a capital of five hundred poundsâ€"first in London, then in Liverpool, then in London again, and at last, as already told, in New Zea« land. A New "enlofif. ::;\;l&i ib A.A;lhl'fl. Some of our few passergers landed at Plymouth ; all the rest, save myself, took train at Gravesend, to shorten theâ€"t> themâ€"tedious ride up the river; but, for my part, I should not have cared if the ride had lasted a month, for, when I left the Dinorbis, I left my bomeâ€"the only place, to take a practical view of it, where I was.quite sure of board and lodging. A small rain set in @t Gravesend which lastâ€" ed until we arrived at Blackwall, and for twentyâ€"four hours afterwards. Although the drops were very small, there was a great deal of rain falling, and a cutting breeze from the northâ€"east made matters less tolerable. The ship had of course been taken in charge by the pilot, but, so far as her own people were .concerned, she was under the first mate, the captain hav» ing besn amongst those who left at Graveâ€" send, and, as the said first mate was my chief assogiate on board, the ordinary dull river voyage was made pleasanter by m game at cribbage with him in the saloonâ€" a game J had taught him, and which I beâ€" lieve he considered the greatest boon that had ever been conferred upon him. But through rain and wind, with cribâ€" bage and grog and tea, at last we reached our docks, just too late to enter f_oc the m‘glxt There was help for this, and it did not very materially effect me, so I gatherâ€" ed my two or three packages about me, and, iwrapping my plaid well about my shoulders, stood in the dim twilight waitâ€" ing for the boat which had come off to us to return ashore.

POETRY. "Now, Mr. Merris, wo will make &start, You won‘t find many operaHouses about here, you know, but at ‘The African Lion‘ or ‘The Flag of Victory‘ you can hear some very good singing for all thatâ€"so come along." The saloon looked so snfig, and was so warm and cozy, offering such a contrast to the black; sonking night outside, that I should have been quite content to have reâ€" mained there all the evening, but my friend Jem Gilesâ€"for so was the mate calâ€" ledâ€"evidently felt it his duty to amuse me a bit, as he had irvited me to stay with him. So, when all had been made snug, and the watch set for the night, he said : I signified my Aonsent; and followed him on deck. ‘The night was, if anything, a shade worse; and I half hoped that my entertainer would change his mind. Not he! The smallest boat was lowered, we gotin, and a couple of men pulled for a while against the tide until certain stairs were reached, where we disembarked and my companion, giving the man orders to meet us exactly at twelve o‘clock, turned After threading several of the miserable courts and streets which abound on the riverside there, we came upon a somewhat larger thoroughfare. _ Not far from the mouth of the alley by whigh we eutered this street was a large publicâ€"howse, more brilliantly lighted than is the custom, even with Eastâ€"end taverns. This was to be our goal, for Giles said ; "We wlll go into the ‘Lion,‘ for it is a masty night, and we should be wet through beforé wo reached the ‘Victory‘," As either house was perâ€" fectly acceptable to me, provided that I got out of the rain, I cordially seconded the ides ; ind so, turning into the tavern, we passed through its crowded bar, and, ascending a few staits beyond, entered a large rcom or saloon built at the rear of the house. The place was very full, and from the cheering, elapping of hands, and Ihmromering on the table, I inferred that some popular performer had just left the stage which we saw at the othey end of the room. "Now, Mr. Merris, what do you sity to staying and keeping a poor fellow coriâ€" pany to:night? I must at any rate sleep in the ship till she is frirly in dock ; so do a good turn for me, and I will show you the best amusement this end of London affords." I was uncommonly pleased to receive this invitation, and told him only the truth when I assured him that I knew of no one in England would be glad to see me in the degree that I should be sorry to lose him. So the difficulty was solved for that evening, and in a few minutes the oars were creaking in the rowâ€"locks of the shore boat; and it had disappeared in the son . to me in the highest of spirits, and again assured me that I should hear a good "Ilénty of seats further on, gontlemen," said one of the attendants ; and under his pilotage we found, not exactly plenty of seats, but a table at which so fow were sits ting, that by a litéle squeezing wemanaged to find places for Gurselves. In our pasâ€" sage down the saloon, my companion had nodded or spoken to at least a dozen seaâ€" faring men, none of whom however conâ€" sidered that the arrival of an requaintance from a trip of thirty thousand miles deâ€" manded any Wartrier notice. drearer than it did in that darkening night,‘the sloppy, soaked aspect of everyâ€" thing on the decks, and the streaming oilâ€" skins of the rien, helping to make the sights; and the sounds, too, more miserâ€" able and dolefiil: While I was standing thiis; & hand was laid upon my shouldet, and the hearty vbice of the mate said : We had scarcely seated ourselves; ind ordered ourselves a glass of "whiskey hot" each, when a sharp rap from the chairâ€" man called us to order, and then came the announcement that Miss Lucretia Montâ€" gomery would appedr. She did appear, and then appeared again ; so, as the night wore on, did other luniinaries of what the bills ecstatically described as "the most gorgcous and bewildering galasy of talent ever combined in one unparalleled display at any establishment in the known world" ~for the unknown parts of the globe the veracious proprietor of the "African Lion" would not of course presume to answer. In due course then appeared Phelim O‘â€" Rafferty, the pride of Hibernia ; so did Mr* Nelson Collingwood, in his unrivalled renâ€" dering of Dibdin‘s songs ; so did Her Garaâ€" balda Lamartine, in his celebrated feats of Legerdemain, as performed before all the crowned heads of Europe; so did the "Great Hunkey Boy," Sam Smiler, with his new and original comic songs; and so, indeed did many others. I was chiefly inâ€" terested in the undisguised enjoyment of my friend, and the hundreds who were like hizo ; there was no mistake about their admiration, and at the close of almost every performance Giles turned to me and said : "I say, Mr. Merris, that‘s something like! Isn‘t he a clipper?" It was my first introduction to a sailor‘s music hall, and I had naturally expected, from having read some highlyâ€"colored descriptions, to find something revolting low and coarse ; but nothing of the kind was there at ‘"The African Lion." The performance might have been anywhere else as well as in a sscondâ€"rate street by the doeks, the only difference I could see being the one I have already hinted atâ€"I mean the heartiness ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO He left me ; and as I knew it would be of no avail to go to the stairs to meet the ship‘s boat until twelve o‘clock, I made myself as comfortable as I could ; and apâ€" plauded every one of the performers as zealously as possible. I was just in the act of clapping my hands as Mademoiselle Junnita Barkerini, tho renowned dancer, finished the highland fling which had been her "encore" picce for the college hornâ€" pipeâ€"and the extraordinary jumbles of all sorts of €ountries in the names of the artists and their performances were things to be marvelled atâ€"when I felt my arm fouched, and, turning round, I beheld a dirtyâ€"looking boy holding an envelope toâ€" wards me. Captain Heath was the skipper of our vessel, so of course the mate arose at once, and waited on his superior; this took place in an interval of the performance, and at the next pause Giles reappearred and said : «You must exouse me; Mr: Meiris ; I atii very sorry to l¢ive you, but the skipper wants me at his lodgings to look over some papers: Idoa‘t know how long I shall be with hini, but 1 shall get on board by a wherry. You had better go to the stairs at the time fixed, and you will find the boat there." I was a litle sturprised, but of course took it from him. There was no direction or any kind of writing upon it, so I rather hesitated to open it ; but the boy guessing my reluetance by my manner, said : "It‘s all right, guv‘nor ; its for you." Hearing this, I tore it open, and, in handwriting entirely strange to me, I read â€"my name, by the way, is Ralpl»s "Dram RK.,â€"All is right I have just received n letter, so see that you are on board in time. She is waiting up; for you, but you must make the bost exeuse you can for taking her from the ship. If noâ€" thing satisfies her gag her." _ * of the Wihitets cam@itp to hiti and said : ‘;Captain Heath is in the room, Mr. Oiles, ard Wishes to speak to you." I have a sear on my check, left there by an accident when I was a boy ; so, conâ€" vinced by this evidence, I read on. I turned the strange epistle over and overâ€"for an eminent vocalist was now "appeAring," and the boy sould not get awayâ€"but could nsake nothing of it, and s0, feeling certain that it was either a hoax or a blunder, I gave it back to him with the remark that it was not for me., With a grumble that intended to signify incredâ€" ulity, and a little disrespect for myself as well, the boy left. About the same time the room became insufferably crowded. I could not discover the reason at first, but the remarks of those around me, especiaily the newâ€"Comérs,; soom old that it was on account of the approaching hour when the "Great Hunkey Boy," Sam Smiler, would appear and sing his sensational soug of ‘"‘Don‘t let my mothér kmow." 1 heard the song presently,; and anything tamer it is impossible to conceive; but I found that all the "Hunkey Boy‘s" lyrics were furnished with titles by which an idea of "raciness" could be conveyed, an iden which was by no means borne out by the dittics themselves. and energy of the applause. I thought at the time that if I had ever to take up with the mausicâ€"hall Hu6 of business, L should Â¥ery much prefer and Eastâ€"ond to & Westâ€" end btigagement: y w 1 did not enjoy Giles‘s admiration for ilore than an hour, as about that tinte otie "All you Lbave to do on reaching the stairs is to say to the cabman whom you will find there, ‘Hornsey.‘" _ 7f he answors, ‘time‘s up,‘ get in without more words ; he will know where to driveâ€"in fact i will be Balk Yours, As the attendants invariably assared all new arrivals that thero was "plenty ot room farther on," in a very short time the spot where I was seated grow dreadfully crowded and hot. I gould bear it no long: er, so arose, and with some difficulty elâ€" bowed my way to the entrance of the room. Here I managed to wedge mysolf behind the half of the door which was thrown open, and, although I was almest entirely hidden, had a pretty good view of the stage, over the shoulders of a sailor and girl, who stood just in front of me. Guessing in a moment that I was meant, I looked through the crack by the open door, and there I saw the dirty boy in comâ€" pany with two mer. "I can‘t see him now," returned the lad, ""but he was at thet ‘ere table, just by the chairman. He was very much like you, guy‘nor." He turned to the man who had not speken ; and, sure enough, the boy was right ; for the man was dressed exactly like myselfâ€"as indeed were many of those presentâ€"and he had a scar on his face, too ; butâ€"thank heaven !â€"â€"my wound had "Now, you young idiot, show me the man you gave my letter to !" not imparted such a villai to my features as his had. I had not been in my new position long when a voice at the door, sounding almost in my ear, so close was it, said : j Powurey." "P. §$.â€"Her namé will be €aroline Jack par On quitting the house, I found that the night had grown far worse; before it had simply been disagreeable, it was now wild. The rain was falling still faster, and it was blowing a good deal harder than ever. On plunging into the court which turned out of the street, I had some doubt as to whother I knew the way. The lanes and alleys were all so much alike, they were so nuâ€" merous, and none seemed to run straight to the waterside, that I was uncertain which to take. I kept on as well as I could, and erossed one or two narrow streets, as I reâ€" membered to have done with Giles. Forâ€" tune favored me. At last I came to the riverside, and a gaslight being fixed Inckily ut the corner of the nearest house, I was enable to pick my way to the stairs pretty well. There was the boat, rocking uncasily on the rough water. In answoer to my call, the men unfastened her and pushed her close in to the shore; and as I stepped on board I told them to pu!l off, for there On this they went away, leaving me still more perplexed as to the meaning of the mysterions note. I found it but weary listening by myself to the monotonous sueâ€" cession of comic and sentimental songs, and was heartily glad when, a quarter to twelve having arrived, I thought I might venture in search of the boat. "I give it to the man as I thought you meant," argued the boy. "You says, ‘You see that vove in the bue pilotâ€"coat and black cap ? and 1 says, ‘Yes;‘ and then you says, ‘Him with the mark on his face ? and I says, ‘Yes,‘ and 1 give it to "Well, néver mind, Barnes," said the resond man ; "there is no harm done ; and as I have had enough of this foolery, let us have a quiet pipe upstairs for an hour." "You‘re full early," growled one of the mene "It‘s a wonder wo was hereâ€"hold hard, Tom , or we shall run foul of this here brrge 2â€"but if‘s a gsod job as you have come, for it‘s a nasty night." would be no one else. I interpreted this language to mor® that the man, knowing I was not now a passoaâ€" ger, did not consider it necessary to be respeciful to msany lTonger ; at arty rate his tone was unpleasantly familiar. I did not recognize the yoice; it was too durk, of course to distingnish the sailors‘ faces, yet I thought I could have told the name of any man in the crew on hearing him speak; I was certain, however, that the speaker was not one of the two men selected by Giles, who were steady,civil fellows enough. It â€"was of no use to argue with the mar about his rudeness, so, turning up the colâ€" lar of my pilotâ€"jacket, so as to shelter my faco m little frotm the »aim, I sat in silence and darkness, very much regretting that I had not declined the mate‘s invitaâ€" tion to hear "a good song." *‘Then he is gone!" said the first man. Well, it doesn‘t matter, Renton," he conâ€" tinued, addressing his companion, "for 1 put nothing in it that could identify any one, and signed myself as we agreed. But this whelp‘s stupidity, after my pointing you out to him, is enough to rile a saint:" I had not the slightest idea how far we had gone. I naturally suppesed that, as the Rood<ide was now much stronger against us than the last of the ebblhad been our progress would be much slower, so I was much surprised when, our boat‘s head being turned,, with a few strokes we weere laid alongside the ship. «We have run down to her pretty soon," said I, making another effort to be converâ€" sational. "It‘s not much of anight for idling," re turned the spokesman of the two. ©"No, certainly not," I agreed. "I did not think, however, that she laid so far out in the stream." "‘Well, you ain‘t likely to know much about it," he retosted ; uind J ean‘t see as it signifies. Stand by, Fomâ€"here we The boat grited against the site of the ship, and I was sailor eyough to have climbed her side by s rope, butâ€"for which attention I thanked my friend Gilesâ€"there was a very commodious ladder, with steps and rails, lot down, which I knew was used only on special occasions. I was en deck in a moment, and seing a light in the sa« loon, judged that my friend the mate, having returned on boardl earlier than he had expected, was waiting for me there ; so without hesitation I opened the door and entered. No, of course I had brought no letters ; but as she spoke I grew more astonished still, and half believed I was dreaming or in a delirium. She paused, and finding I did not answer her, evidently grew more alarmed, rising from her seat with the palâ€" pable intention of moving nearer to the The only person h: the saloon looked up alarmed and surprised;but her astonishmont â€"for it was a womanâ€"was as nothing to mine. I fairly staggered; for beyond all doubt I found mysolf in & strange ship, in a totally strange saloon, and fuce to face with a lady who certainly had not formed one of the passanger complement of the ""Have you brought me any letters ?" said the lady on whom I had so unintentionally intruded.
