I wanted to jamp them, too. ‘Was quite willing to be ten years older and ten Thousand times richer, such a have been made.

And yet I was once w= ap at for + Pe — and fiterally, bah man; and it hap ‘3 way which imy fancy had not pictured. i “al I was fond of traveling about, and my small means caused me to seek inexpensive modes of genveyance. | My legs were the cheapest; and I Falked all over England, Scotland, and Wales; the coast stopped me, for I could not swim the channel. Pay for my I mast, bat I would pay as little as I could help; so I chose a Jong ses-route from London to Holland. As the Boat started in the small hours of the night, I passed the evening in mild dissipation. Dined off a chop and cheese with a pint of “ 5” followed by a pipe and glass of rack-punch. Sat in the pit or a theater from curtain-rise to eur- tain-set, only leaving when the brown holland appeared. Then a potato at a singing-tavern brought me to half-past twelve, and it was time te go to my inn in Holborn for my luggage. This Was not extensive, consisting merely of a lea- thern bag, which coukl be worn when I liked as a knapsack; and with this in amy left hand, and @ stout oak stick tipped with a formidable fer- rule in my right, I sought the docks. This must seem so Very eccentric to young people of the Present day, that I think it better to mention that it was upwards of thirty years ago—cabs and habits ot luxury have considerably increas- ed since then. In the neighborhood of the Tow- er, the streets were quite deserted, aml it was a qurious experience to hear one’s footsteps re- geboing in the very center of the capital of Bus. tle. ‘The traffic, rolling dockwards by the main arteries of the city, only reached the ear as a faint, muffled murmar, like that of the distant gee. “Turning into a small place—a triangle of houses, with @ paved court in its center—how- ever, I came upon a group of three men, who scemed to be engaged in a scuffle, and suppos- ing it to be a drunken row, I was passing on without notice, when one of them called out “Murder 1” ‘What a fine old English word that is—how ex- pressive! The sight of it in large print gives the blood a pleasant curdle, and forces the pe chase of an evening paper apon the man whose eoppers would never be charmed out of him by any simple “assassination.” But heard in the Silinetlot might there a muttered horror in ‘word w! appalli Tam not a chivalrous mat; T shrink i * ively from incurring danger or even discofafort on behalf of a friend, let alone a stranger; but there was an earnesttiess about that cry which arrested my steps. Again, in a more tone: “Murder! Help!” I advanced towards the group, and saw, by the light of a dim lamp, that two of the men were sweoping over a third, who lay on the ground. One of these rose on hearing imy foot- steps, and warned me with an oath to go my way mind my own business; and as I did not Leed him, he raised his it arm and ran at me. Knowing something of fencing, I lunged as he came up. catching him low the chest with the ferrule of my stick, and he rolled over into the road with a gasp and a and lay doubled up.

Glad enough to be rid of higu, I went to the aisistance of Lis victim, who stiif layon the pavement; but he was not seriously injured: and when £ had loosened his neckeloth, and poured some of the coutents of my travel k down his throat, he was able to get up. Fortunately for him, garroting had not been yet cultivated as a science, and he was ouly quarter-throttled. His first care was to feel a pocket inside his waistcoat, having done which, he said in a tone of intense relef: «They have not got it! ‘Thanks to you, young man, they have not got it!

A common mistake is to keep horses in the stable for days or weeks, and then perhaps take a load of grain of wood eight or ten miles to market, and when there let them stand out in the cold.” The horses are weak from want of exercise and nutritioas food, and when they get home they are in an exhausted condition. “Grain is perhaps then given them—and the end is indigestion, colic, and death.
