In the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-nine, a young man came limp- ing down on foot to the town of Chatham. He was a poor traveler, without a farthing in his pocket. \He came down to Chat- bam to enlist in a cavalry regiment, if a cavalry regiment would have him ; if not, to take King George's shilling from any corporal or sergeant who would put a bunch of ribbons in his hat. His object was to get shot; but he thought he might as well ride to death as be at the trouble of walking. His name was Richard, but he was better known as Dick. He dropped his own surname on the road down, and took up that of Doubledick. He was psased as Richard Doubledick ; age twenty-two ; height, five feet ten; native place, Ex- mouth—which he had never been near in his life. There was no cavalry in Chat- ham when he limped over the bridge with half a shoe to bis dusty foot, so he enlisted into a regiment of the line, and was only too glad to get drunk and forget all about it. This young man had gone wrong and run wild. His heart was in the right place, but it was sealed up. He had been betrothed to a good and beantiful girl, whom he had loved better than she—or perhaps even Jie—believed; but, in an evil hour, he had given her cause to say to him, solemnly, \ Richard, I will never marry another man. I will live single for J our sake; bat Mary Marshall's lips \— er name was Mary Marshall —\ shall never address another word to' you on earth. Go, Richard I Heaven forgive yon !\ This finished him. This brought him down to Chatham, This made him Pri- vate Richard Doubledick, with a full de- termination to be shot. There was not a more dissipated and reckless soldier in Chatham barracks in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-nine, tban Private Richard Double- dick. He associated with the dregs of every regiment, he was as seldom sober as he could be, and was constantly under E unishment. It became tlflajr to tbe w^ole arracks that Private Richard \Double- dick would very soon be flogged. Now, the Captain of Richard Doable- dick's company was a yonng gentleman not above five years bis senior, whose eyes had an expression in them which affected Private Richard Doubledick in a very remarkabl& way. They were bright, handsome, dark eyes—what are'called laughing eyes generally, and, when sen. OUH,, rather steady than severe—but they were the only eyes now left in bis narrow- ed world that Private Richard Donbledick could not stand.. Unabashed by evil re- port and punishment, defiant of everything else and everybody else, he had bat to know that those two eyes looked at bim for a moment, and he felt ashamed. He could not so much as salute CaptainTPaun- ton in the street, like an L ^' other officer. He was reproached and confused—troub- led by the mere possibility of the Cap- tain's looking'at bim. In his worst mo- ments he would rather'turh back, arid go any distance out of bis way, than encoun- ter those tWo handsome, dark bright eyes. One day, When Private Richard Double- dick came out of the Slack Hole where he bad been pausing the 1 lait' eight-and-forty hours, and in which Retreat lie spent a good deal-of his'time/hef Was ordered to betake himself to Captain Taunton's head* 'quarters.' In the stale and squalid stile 1 of a mais just; out of the Black Hole, he had less fancy than ever for being-seen by the Captain; bat he was not so mad yetas to disobey orders, and consequent* JyV-went -up to the terraee'overlookiofr th* ide-ground, where the officers'' quar-> 4era werfr; twisting - and, breaking, in? b,ia th«Had/o?nie4 the:4ecoMtire farqitartof the3BUck.fHoIe.. ^ „ ,. y., ; , -•,-•% • -i'^oiBe4na??:«rle4^1i*? qapWr*. > i&>»' Kil&ad knocleiswttlvhltlaa»iekle*it^tb« Private Richard Doubledick turned the strjaw of tbe Black Hole in bis month, and made a miserable salute of acquiescence. !' Doubledick,\ said the Captain, \ since I entered His Majesty's service, a boy of seventeen, I have been pained to see many men of promise going that road; bait I have never been so pained to see a man determined to make the shameful jorirney, as I have been ever since you joined the regiment to see you.\ Private Richard Doubledick began to find a film stealing over the floor at which he' looked ; also to find tbe legs of tbe Cajbtain's breakfast-table turning crooked, as he saw them through water. y I am only a common soldier, sir,\ said he. \ It signifies very little what such a poor brute comes to.\ ? Too are a man,\ returned the Captain with grave indignation, *' of education and superior advantages ; and if you say that, meaning what you say, you have sunk lower than / had belived. How low that must be, I leave you to consider ; knowing what I know of your disgrace, and seeing what I see. '' I hope to get shot, soon, sir,\ said Private' Richard Doubledick, sadly ; '* and then the regiment, and the world together, will be rid of me.\ The legs of the table were becoming very crooked. Doubledick looking up to steady his vision, met the eyes that had so strong an influence over him. He put his hand before his own eyes, and the breast of his disgrace-jacket swelled as if it would fly asunder. '< I would rather,\ said the young cap- tain, \ see this in you, Doubledick, than I would see five thoosand guineas counted out on this table for a gift to my good mother. Have you a mother V \1 am thankful to say she is dead, sir.? \ ! If your praises,\ returned the Captain, \ were sounded from month to month through the whole regiment, through tbe whole army, through the whole country, you would wish she had lived to say, with pricje and joy, 'He is my sou !' \ \ Spare me, sir,\ said Doubledick.— \ She never would have heard any good of me. She would never have had any pride and joy in owning herself my moth- er. ' Love and compassion she might have had, and would have always have had, I know ; but not—. Spare me, sir 1 I am a poor broken wretch, quite at your mercy I\ And he turned his face to tbe wall, and stretched oat his imploring hand. \My friend—\ began the Captain. \ God bless you, sir !\ sobbed Private Richard Donbledick. \ You are at the crisis of your fate,— Hold your course unchanged a little long- er, and yoa know what must happen. I know, even better than you can imagine, thatj, after that has happened, you are lost, No man who could shed those tears, could ever bear those marks.\ \ I fully believe it, air,\ in a low, sad, shivering voice, said Private Richard Donbledick. \jBut a man in any station uan do his duty,\ said the young Captaiu, \ and in doing it, can earn bis own respect, even if bis case should be so very unfortunate and so very rare that he can earn no other man's. A commou soldier, poor brute though you called him just now, has this advantage in tbe stormy' times we live in, thatiho always does bis duty before a host of sympathizing witnesses. Do you doabt thatj he may so do it as to be extolled through a whole country? Turn while you may yet retrieve the past, and try.\ \I will f 1 ask for only one witness, sir,, cried Richard Doubledick, with a bursting heart. \ I understand you. I will be a watch- ful and a faithful one.\ I- have beard from Private Richard Doubledick's own lips, that he dropped down upon bis knee, Kissed that officer's band, arose, and went out of the light of the dark bright eye's, an altered man. In that year, one thousand seven hand- red fand ninety-nine, the French were in Egypt, In Iridiajand most'ineh could read the mgus of'the great troubles \that were comiiig on. ( In the yery next year, when we formed in alliance with Austria against 'him s Cap tain Taunton's regiment was on service in India. And there was not a finer' uon.cOmmiirto'rietl officer in it—no, ^nor In the whole line—-than Corporal jRlchurd Donbledick. ,, : In| eighteen hundred and one, the Indi- an aftny were on \\'the ' const of Kgypt;— Next; year was the year of the prociama- tidn; br tho short ;peae«; and they, were recalled. It had become well known to thousandsi'of-meb that wherever Captain Tatufton; With' ftbe dart bright eyes, lea, there, crds'e'to'htinV'ever'at his Side, firm as a\ rOck, trtf? as the sun, and brave 'as M Mare, would be certain to he found,\ whili life beat in their hearts, thaWamous soldier, Sergeant Richard Doubledick Eighteen'hundred and five, beafdes' be- £H}he\gfe*» ! year' of Trafalgar*, Wai'ir Richari bis mouth ^dm03L la S , _ _ - yearof the hard lighting in India. That year'' saw * such Wonder, done by it Ser- geant-Major, who cot bis Way single-hand- ed through a solid mass of men, recovered: the colore of bis regiment which had been seised from the hand of ahjJoor- boy shot through the beart^Mdire -from |he ranks, - .... ,^ealfriip«»*imsTr'4iy4iittliV'-faat-Ml«. way*|riOTfcrtediy^B^ ^or*rthrT*sm<N:# shoTihronih^dahfough^ which lEnsign J&icba^.'DQUbledtok^ all bi<iMi«<^^ way rough the Peninsular war, op to the in ; Into-men's eyeSI at tbe mere hearing of the mighty British voice so exultant in their valor; and there was not a drummer-boy but knew the legend, that wherever the two friends, Major Taunton with the dark bright eyes, and Ensign Richard Double- dick who was devoted to bim, were seen to go, there the boldest spirits in tbe Eng- lish army became wild to go. Once, at Badajos—not in the great storming, but in repelling a not sally of the besiged upon our men at work in the trenches, who had given way—the officers found themselves hurrying forward, face to face, against.a party Of French infant- ry, who made a stand. There was an offi- cer at their head, encouraging his men—a courageous, handsome; officer, of five-and- thirty—whom Donbledick saw hurriedly, almost momentarily, bat saw well. He particularly noticed this officer waving bis sword, and rallying his men with an eager, excited cry, when they fired in obedience to bis gestnre, and Major Taunton drop- ped. It was over in ten minutes more, and Doubledick returned to the spot where he had laid the best friend man ever had} on a coat spread on the wet clay.. Major Taunton's uniform was opened at the breast,, and on his shirt were three little drops of blood. ' \ Dear Doubledick,\ said he, \ I am dying.\ \ For the love of Heaven, no !\ ex* claimed the other kneeling down beside bim, and pressing his arm round his neck to raise his head. \ Taunton ! My pre} server, my guardian angel, ,my witnestn Dearest, truest, kindest of human beings ! Tannton 1 For God's sake I\ The bright dark eyes—so very, very dark now, in the pale face—smiled upon him ; and the hand he had kissed, thirteen years ago, laid itself fondly on his breast. *• Write to my mother. You will see home again. Tell her how we became friends. It will comfort .her, as it com- forts me.\ He spoke no more, but faintly signed for a moment toward his hair as it flutter- ed in the wind. The Ensign understood him. He smiled again when he saw that, and gently taming his face over on tbe supporting arm, as if for rest, died, with his hand upon the breast in which he had revived a soul. No dry eye looked on Ensign Richard Doubledick that melancholy day. He buried his friend on the field, and became a loue bereaved man. Beyond his duty, he appeared to have bat two remaining cares in lite; one to preserve the little packet of hair he was to give to Taunton's mother — the other, to encounter that French officer who had rallied the men under whose fiie Taunton fell. A new legend now began to circulate among our troops ; and it was, that when he and the French came face to face ence more, there would be weeping in France. The war went on ; and through it went the exact picture of a French officer on the one side, and the bodily reality upon the other—until the battle of Toulouse was fought. In the returns sent home, appeared these words; \ Severely Wound- ed, bat not dangerously, Lieutenant Rich- ard Doubledick.\ At Midsummer time, in«the year eight- een hundred and fourteen, Lieutenant Richard Donbledick, now a browned sol- dier, seven-and-thirty years of age, came home to England, invalided. He brought the hair with bim, near his heart. Many a French officer had he seen sinee that day; many a dreadful night, in searching with men and lanterns for his wounded, had he relieved French officers lying dis- abled ; bat the mental picture and the re- ality had never come together,. Though he was weak and suffered pain, he lost not an hour in getting down to Frome, in Somersetshire, Where Taunton's mother lived. In' the sweet; compassion- ate words of the inspired writer*. \ he was the only son of his mother, and she was,a widow.\ It was a Sunday evening, and'the lady sat at her quiet garden window, reading the Bible j rtan^g\ttf herself; in a a tremW ling voice, that very passage in it, as I have beard hinTtell.'He beard\the words: \ Young 1 man.T say unto 'thee arise !

He. followed them—so ragged, so scar- red and pierced now, that they would scarcely hold together—to Qnatre Bras, and Ljgny. He stood beside them, in an awful stillness of many men, shadowy through the mist and drizzle of a wet June forenoon, on the field of Vfaterloo. And down to that hour, tbe picture in his mind of the French officer bad never been com- pared with the reality. The famous regiment was in action ear- ly iu the battle, and received its first check in many an eventful year, 'when he Was seen to fall. But it swept on to avenge him, and left behind ifr no such creature in the world. of consciousness as Lieutenant Richard; Doubledick. Through pits of mire, and pools of rain ; along deep ditches, once roads, that were pounded and plowed to pieces by artillery, heavy wagons, tramp of men and horses, and the struggle of every wheeled thing that could carry wounded soldiers; jolted along the dying and the dead, so disfigur- ed by blood and mad as to be hardly rec- ognisable for humanity ; undisturbed by the moaning of men and the shrieking of horses, which, newly taken from the peaceful pdrauifs of life, could not endure the sight of stragglers lying by the way- side never to resume their toilsome jour- ney ; dead, as to any sentient life that was in it, and yet alive ; the form that had been Lieutenant Richard Doubledick, with whose praises England rang, was convey- ed to Brussels. There, it was tenderly laid down-hr hospital; and there it lay, week after week, through.the long bright summer days, until the harvest spared by War, had ripened and was gathered in. Over and over again, the sun rose-and set upon the crowded city ; over and over again, the moonlight nights were quiet on the plains of Waterloo ; and all that time was blank to what had been Lieutenant Richard Doubledick. Rejoicing troops marched into Brussels, and marched out; brothers and fathers, sisters, mothers, ^ and wives came thronging thither, drew their lots of joy or agony, and departed: so many times' a day the hells rang ; so many times the shadows of the great buildings chang- ed ; so many lights sprang up at dusk ; so many feet passed here and there upon the pavements; so many hours of sleep and cooler air of night succeeded—indifferent to all) a marble face lay on a bed, like the face of a recumbent statue .on tbe tomb of Lieutenant Richard Doubledick. Slowly laboring, at last, through a long heavy dream of confused time and sjrace, presenting faint glimpses of army surgeons whom he knew, and of faces that had been familiar to his youth—dearest and kindest among them, Mary Marshal's, with a solicitude upon it more like reality than anything he could discern — Lieutenant Richard Donbledick came back to life.;— To the beantiful life of a calm, autumnal evening sunset. To the peaceful life- of a fresh' quiet room, with . a large window standing, open; a balcony beyond, in whicl wore moving leaves and sweet- smelling flowers ; beyond again, the clear sky, with the sun full in bis sight, pouring its golden radiance on his bed. It was so tranquil and so lovely that he thought he had passed into another world ; and he said, in a faint voice : \ Tannton, are you near me 1\ A sweet face bent over him. Not his ; his mother's. ' \ I came to nurse you. We have nurs- ed yOu many weekB. You were moved here long ago. Do yoa remember noth- ing r< \ Nothing.\ Thbladykissed his cheek, and held his hand,'soothing him.

I loved a generous, noble man —loved him with my whole heart; ,lov»d him for years and years ; loved him faith fully, devotedly ; loved him with' o°,bope of return; loved, him, knowing nothing of bis highest qualities—not even knowing that he was alive. He was a brave sol- dier. He was was honored and beloved by thousands of thousands, when, the mother of his dear friend found me, and showed me that in all his triumphs he had not forgotten me. He was wounded in a great battle. He was brought, dying, here into Brussels. I came to watch and tend him, as I would have joyfully gope to the dreariest ends of the earth. Whan be knew no one else he knew me. When he Bufferedmost, he bore his sufferings barely murmuring, content to restfhis head where yours rests now. When he lay at the point of death be married me, that he might call me his wife before he died.— And the name, my dear love, that I took on that forgotten night—\ \ I know it now,\ he sobbed. \The shadowy remembrance strengthens. It is come back. I thank Heaven that my mind is quite restored! My Mary, kiss me ! lull this weary bead to rest, or I shall die of gratitude. His parting words are fulfilled. I see home again!\ Well! they were happy.. It was. a long recovery ; but they were happy through it all. The snow had melted on the ground, aud the birds were singing in the leafless thickets of the early spring, when thosethree were first able to ride out to- gether, and when people flocked about the open carriage to cheer and congratulate the hero, Capt. Richard Doubledick. But, even then, it became necessary, for the Captain, instead of returning to Eng- land, to complete his recovery in the cli- mate of Southern France. They found a spot on the Rhone, within a ride of the old town of Aviguon, and within view of its broken bridge, which was all they could desire; they lived £here together six months—then returned to England. Mrs. Taunton, growing .old after three years—though not so old that her bright dark eyes were dimmed—and remember- ing thkt her strength had been benefitted* by the change, resolved to go hack for a year ' o those parts. So she went with a faithful servant, who had often carried her sop in his arms, and she was to be re- joined and escorted home, at the year's end, ty Capt. Richard Doubledick. - r fW She wrote relgularly to her children ($s^* she Called them now), and they to her.J She went, to the neighborhood of Aix ; and t lore, in their own chateau, near the farm-b onse she rented, she grew into inti- macy with a family belonging to that part of France. The intimacy began by her often meeting among the vineyards a pret- ty chi d—a girl with .a most compassionate heart, \Who was never tired of listening to the solitary i English lady's stories of] her poor s >n and tbe cruel wars. Tbe family were is gentle as the child, and at length she ciime to' know them so well that she accept sd their invitation.to pass the last month of hfr residence abroad-under their rqof. A.11 (lis intelligence she wrote hope, piecen oal, as it came about, from time to time; and, at last, enclosed a polite bote from the head of the chateau, soliciting* on the occasion of bis approaching miflsiojn to that nc ighborhood, the honor of the com- pany of \cette homme si justement celebre, Monsieur la Oapitaine Richard Double- dick -\ - -i v., Captain Doubledick, now a hardy, hand.
