give me Tor being "pasSIonOte; but you
must know that am like a HAIR trigger,
and 20 of at half cock. Mr. and
myself must keep apart. We don't un

and YOU may tell him 81, SIR
Meantime the captuin had taken Mr..
- aside and said To him,
Mr.. -, ! am sorry for what occur.
red last night, but permit me To say YOU
are partly 10 blame yourself. You must
have perceived Mr. Randolph Is In i'll

ment, aud that we have all made allow
auces 'or him and humOre1 his eccen-
tricltles, and | am surprised that you
have not followed our example,
90, captain exclaimed Mr.. -, in.
'eruptlng him with a good nuured laugh,
don't make any fuss about it, | don't
mind him at all. lie is half cracke l..
and it's all u joke. He'll forge: all about
IL beior tomorrow
The captain, delighted with the success
Of his mission, came To me and said,
we need not give GU rsclycs any more
trouble about MIR. IS feelings he
bears 1t like a Philosop her, and we shall
naye no more hghtiag.'
For three j lay NJ W ris passed be-
tween Mr.. Randolph and Mr.. -, but
IN every other respect, things went on
rs usual. On The fourth day i: so hap
pened that just as We were sitting down
10 dinner, the captain was suddenly call
ed ON deck As he left the table he said,
Don't wait for me gentlemen, but take
The soup whilst ii is hot. Mr., --,m may
! trouble you TO take my place?'
MIR. - was in ak Mr.. Randolph
rs a matter OF respect, was always help
ed first, but 1t was necessary TO ask first
whether no wished for any soup, as he
dad not always take it. Poor MIR. -
first looked at one side and then at the
other; NJ last he made a low bow 10 Mr..
K. and said,
Mr.. Randolph. shall ! have the hon.
or of helping you to some soup2'
If you please, Mr.. - replied Mr..
Randolph in the most afTable tone.
MIR. IS face Frightened up, he be-
,ane Ioquacious and after The soup was
removed he ventured 10 say with anolh
CT bow,
MIR. Randolph shall | have the very
great honor Of taking a glass of wine
with you, sir?'
with the greatest Of pleasure, Mr..
- responded Air. Randolph in great
good humor.
Thus was the mighty quarrel healed,
and day! after day 1t was-'Mr. Ran
dolpn, do me the honor OF taking wine,'
or Mr.. - the pleasure Of a glass Of
wine with YOU
But it really seemed as If nothing
could open the eyes Of Mr. - 10 his
true position, or rather false position.
with Mr.. Randolph-for as we were
discussing some question Of language.
Nr, Randolph gave his opinion, which
happening to c~onfict with Mr.. 5
notions he exclaimed,
%, MIR. Randolph, that is all nonsense!
gu might as well say that High Dutch
aud Spanish is the samrr
Mr.. Randolph looked astonished, and
hxIng his dark eye upon Mr.. - said
IN a very slow, distinct tone,
MIR. -, really thought by this
time you had discovered it will not do
for US TO quarrel, sir
This rebuff had the desired effect, and
no more alterations took place between
them. Indeed, they afterwards became
more intimate, TO our no small amuse-
ment, for when the rest Of us were
reading, or writing, or sleeping. and Mr.
Randolph was at a loss for a listener,
lie would pin poor Mr.. - in a corner,
and keep ham for an hour or two listen
ing TO his reading Of Greek poetry, Of
which Mr.. - did not understand one
word, hut the beauties OF which Ran
doIPh pointed out to him! THIS happy
state OF peace and goodwill continued
thencsforth until our arrival in Liver
pool, where the belIigerants parted new
or to meet again. Two more dissimilar
characters, having no feelings whatever
IN common, rarely come together in such
close contact.
