Her Recollections.

The first case of shipwreck among the rocka of Intrraparanc /which I can remember, was that of a young roan, who came constantly to our honae. "When T was a little ciiiid, my father and mother knew his parents weP, and oars w»8 the first house he stayed at when he arrived from Home I can rec*M bis appearance very distinctly— X tall, slight, dark, handsome young man with pleasant, genial manners. Mb bad m special partially for •strong driok' when he came first to the colony, but always took the wine and spirit that wbs usually going at me»H He was destined for the Oharoti, but was never placed iw a parish—or if he was, did not remain m : on* 1 lon p. I. ©an remember hearing father express his anxiety about him he B>\ifi, he began to fear that he was nil idltr, and would never be a eacceas, In spite of all his advantages of good birth, good p.ducation, good health. tnanm rs and good intentions. He complained a good deal about not being able to get a ' living,' and began a ciasß for boys offering m the news jpnpare ' all the advantages of a collage f-ducition, and ecrand moral training, With great attention to deportment, 1 bat neither was this a success, His class never exceeded three or four boye who somehow or other did not make great progress under his tuition. Dur ing this time, 1 remember beng very much Btruck by a little incident I will relate. Atmfc Tib was one of our household m those days, and was very fond of this yoong fellow, she attri buted his want of success to misfortune of having sought his career m this colony, where his gre»t atttiameote wer© unappreciated instead of remain ing »fc Home. Well, one Saturday morning he came walking into our eittiog room, where Aunfcy »?as teach ing me how to darn stockings, and telling me fairy stories the while. He cast himaelf down In a chair, with a heavy sigh he explained that he ras ' completely debilitated by over-study the night before, and the exhausting nature of the week's work. He felt so faint, he woiild be thankful of a glass of water, might he help himself, lan guidly going tor the caraffe on the side board. You are looking ill' Aunty exclaimed yon mnen't take that cold water. 11l mix yoa the last little drop of brnndy and water. Off she darted and sgoq returned with a steaming tumbler sugared well, to prevent being nasty for this poor young man, bo far from his home and his mother ! He visibly revived tinder its influence sad to my childish eyes sapped the draught with evident relish, despite the very face he made upon acipfing it, as he said •only to please you Aunty:' Hardly h»d he thus submitted to medical treat ment, when Aunt was called out of the room and my father's step was heard m the hall, immediately was that half consumed potation, popped under the table upon a convenient ledge, (it w»& one of them th*t were enlarged, by being dmwn oat) and my gentleman, with a sly caress of my che> k as ho wiped his lips said 'Don't you tell tales little fairy,' I wondered what he could mean ; hot father coming m with some news which excited him, begin at once a conversation, and giving me a banco of grapes hade me 'run and show Aunty.' Off I went, aud thought no more of the tumbler or why it was co speedily put out of sight, perhaps I might have forgotten it forever, had not after circumstances brought it to my mind As things were not prospering wilh him he determined to try his for tune elsewhere; He left as and we heard little of him, until important news of his marriage arrived ; with wedding cards and photographs of bridr and bridegroom. Then, of course followed much table talk upon the news of the day, and I soon h»d the mimuiia of the aff*ir. He had mured a fine, bright, intelligent girl, not of his social standing, but perhaps iv every other renpoet his superior. She was well-off, being well dowered by her father, a wealthy brewer, After a year or two mother was viaiting gome other friends, (she had taken me with her) m their town. We ibubS go and spend a week with our old acquaint ance before we returned home. We gladly complied. Their house was next door to the brewer's, (it belonging to him), and th© brewery, It stood m pleasant grounds, and was well furnished, and yet ever coo&forfclesß, it seemed. Mother, of course, made no remark. Well I remember the first day we lunched there. Mother would * not allow me to have a little glassful of ale that had been poured out for me, and contrary to her custom, took none herself. I also remember fampiog down from my place officiously to help myself to water, (none being on the table) from a large can standing near the sideboard, and exclaiming m die may when I poured beer all down my 1 plony.' Whereupon our host laughed with some embarrassment, and sup posed that the cac had been left there by mistake, after the |ag for the table had been II led. 'Oh no,' corrected his wife. 4 • Don't you remember telling me to have it left there, ifc was so much handier than going so often to the pantry this thirsty weather ;' bufc Jam making my story too long. I mrant to give yon six instead of only one. I must hurry to 'a conclusion. In the course of a few years this fine good tempered, capable girl, was « heart broken vixen, bating the man whom she had once loved and believed to be her guardian ang' jl, almost too gifted and good for this world* Their home— with many little children a!»a !—be came a byword of misery and mis management m their neighbourhood. The once jolly, good-natured, temperate. old brewer was so indignant with his daughter and son-in-law, that he dis owned tbeas, but made them a small allowance, to keepstarvation from their door. Poor old fellow i He lived to see every one of his children ruined by that terrible brewery? The woman while comparatively young died m delirium tremeng; the man sank, little by little, (his children upon their mothers death were cared for and educated by their grandmother) from bad to worse, until hia most constant friend loathed the very sight of him. I never shall forget his appearance the last time I saw him, decrepit, bioatfd, maudlin, parched—) «|w«y9 parobed with thirst. He »c< •

coated me In a bney street one day, I knew father was utill hie friend, so I walked along the pavement with him, trying to understand bis stammering remarks, I was ashamed of being as hamed of him, and yet I was after walking a block m misery, I thought I had done penance long enough, and said I must hurry back. "Where was I staying he would like to call on me *nfi hc.tr about f«thei?'* I hastily b^de adieu without, leapmidirtg to the question and tn'wr siw him again. N^vor dirl a man hiive trut-r more self denying* friends, every means whs tri«(' to rtcUirn him of that watchful care and kindness could devisf, but, the deadly craving could not .he exerci&ed. He 8 itik into a drunkard's i»ravt —a '.tloomy memory do his muny friends >vi unnam'd ohom * to hia children. *$ow pr hi' ilion would have saved that rnaii! That glass of toddy was the last Aunr 'fib ever naixed, «he has ]vat been telling me, that, that same glass wag nover found on that t»bln iedpe ; but mother's set waa onn short, and a brok«n tumbler was found under a (ilantontbe flowerbed beneath the sitting room window. I cannot write longer this morning, will make the rest shorter.
