IJy uncle, as I sai'i, was leading us Ugnscs rallied.

peculiar to himself. It may be added,
tint the^^eati i’ j)artof the regiment had
b\ this time, gone on to I’aris, but he ,

enterprising persons in the Island, but
tlie Sixties '.vili notassoeiate with them.
Many of the Forties, tlic cliildren of
rich men, receive the be'^t education in
on T'’' the charge, but the smoke was so
thick that I could perceive notiiing but
his long, gaunt jihysiognomy-surinount-
cd with cocked hat and white leath«;r—
rising above it. The lon-er part of his
hody, and the whole of iiozinante, were
enveloped in darkness. AVe were guid-

Don't suppose it was valour that led mo
on—devil a hit. It w^as rather the Idind
impulse of insensibility which rushes to
daii2:er, without knowdng w l.at it is a-
bout. I was so confused that I verily
believed our men to be the enemy, and
that I was endeavotiring to gel out of
the way. We had not jiroceeded far

tions. It is the proud distinction of
the Sixties to he entitled to carry tico

s;je their v. ay !hrorg!i Iheir filtliy streets

wounded in the battle of Waterloo, and
lodged in thcii' house by a strange En
glish oHicer, who also I’esided there,
but of whom they knew nothing.
I now began lo reflect whether m\'
uncle was in the land of the living, anti
came to the melancholy eouchision, that
lie must be killed, or he would have
made some inijuiry alter me, and doubt-
h;ss found hie out. Scarcely had these

niglit of a drum, (a Guernsey jiarty of a
very humdrum character, so callcil) it is
a great ami a glorious thing, to see the
beacons of woiahipful j^cuestrians blaz
er the tiiings in this world, but is inde
pendent and self-existcnt; endurinj
w’hilst the pulse of life animates the
breast that fosters it ; and if there be a-
ny thing of mortality that survives the,
grave, surely its best and noblest pas-
sion will never perish. Oh! it is :i
pure and holy emulation of heaven's
mercy, implanted in the heart of v.x-
man for the dearest and nicest purpose,
to be at once ihc truest and most sncidl
pleasure, anil the safety and blessing;,
her otfspring.
’'I'is not a selfish passion, deperal;.:';
for its permanency on the reciprocrdioii
of advantages; but on its sincerity, h
castcth not itself, and centres but in liie
bajipiness of its object; and when ine
welfare of that object is at stake, it put
teth away fear and knoweth not wear’
ne.ss. It is not excited by form or l-.ri-
ture, but ratherdjy a happy perver.^ica
of perception, embues all things with an
imaginary beauty.
