spendthrift, °this sontaZt, '" My love," add he, " I am

A MISZR Moos:Ten FOR TRAVEL.—It was seven o'clock
on a March morning as the door of the hall creaked on its
one hinge, and Isaac Peppercorn, followed by Biddy the
housekeeper, and Cupid the terrier, came forth into the light.
Isaac
was equipped for travel. He carried—weT cannot say
wore—a coat of forgetton black ; made for him in the days of
his
belly, he having many years since subdued that deformity .
The coat met in one wide Wrinklethe back, pocket

was as rough as a rug,but its tail—and in the. ignorant vanity
of the spectator—was bare as a carrot. The animal continued
to champ the bit, with a satisfaction that at last it had got
something in its mouth. Isaac, with inhuman placidity,
mounted the horse, touched the rein, rattled his legs in his
boots, plied his whip, and in a minute or two the horse ga-
thered itself up and shambled off—much to the
apparent
an-
noyance of a party left at the Hall ; we mean, Cupid the ter-
rier. Now, the dog was as lean, nay even leaner than the
horse, but there was a something in its spirit—it must have
been hope—that as it sometimes looked at the white horse
on the common, inadeiteheerful, nay, even gamesome. This
morning, however, it was but too plain that all was not right
with Cupid. As the horse stood saddled, waiting for the
rider, Cupid as on tip-toe walked round it, now looking in
its face, and now at its ribs,. and now gazing mournfully at
its master. When, however, Peppercorn was fairly mounted,
and the steed, after due consideration, stumbled into a trot,
Cupid tried to bark, but its voice failed, and it only wheezed
at the departing horse-flesh ; and yet, as plainly as legacy-
hunter ever mourned his disappointment, did Cupid exclaim
—" There go my long-nourished hcipes of many, many din-
ners !" The neighbours had Wog marked the attention of
the dog to the horse bad often dwelt upon the friendship of
Cupid : friendalsjpi in this world how hard it is to discover
