cofidence established between Mike and
herself, since the interview in the drawing
room, tended to give this bent to her mind,
and this direction to her reflections; she COM
municated unreservedly her own feelings and
expectations to him, and received I'm return
information concerning the steps. which were
being taken to discover Pennant's retreat; and
also regarding her uncles pecuniary embarrass- |
nents, with which he, good man, supposed her
to be altogether unaeqnainted. The Colonel
doated upon her as his child, and his every
wish WAS conferred in her happiness and fntnre
advancement. lsfE-.@ 80 re D.. 't,tif7'ti'
Parliament having been suddenly dissolved,
Theobald Frederick Blatherwell again solicited
the honor of representing the county. He had.
however, proved u failure in the House, and the
ministry, although of the party to which he
had attached himself, wore perfectly Indifferent
The influence of Government and his party
being Observation-Disclosures conceived that
his most judicioHs course would be to place
himself before the constituency, ON patriotie
principles, bnt here he appeared iiudfcrously
out of character. The candidate WHO could
then base his claims ON fatriotisn, must be q
fellow able to drink all night, and able to
fight in the morning.; he sfi6bid be generous
without money, and hospitaBle without means
his tongue mHst be ready to abuse, and HIS

are dispensed with, and the patfefH patriot;
unadorned as he is dishonest may sell .himseh
| with the same facility, if not to, the like adj
vantage, as his more aristocratic predecessors
sold their ceuntry. Fl Theohaid Frederick could
| not lay claim to even the least meEitorious of
| those qualifications. The source from which
/ he snrung was ignoble. He had never invited
any of the county people to his house, nor OBJ
| tanned the entree to theirs-and ne endeayored
| to palliate his niggnrdliness by the paitry eN-
| cuse that he had no residence of his own, the
family mansion being as Yet his fathers. The
Judge felt the full force OF his sons disadyan-
tages; and the Thought struck HIM that they
might be, in some degree, overcome by locating
him at Castlemore during his canvass; under
his relatives roof, he might claim some -focas
standi, Pncher being his cousin, and ms c9u-
sin being the representative of an old family,
and q large estate in the county.
The worthy Judge had other motives, too
for proposing the arrangement; 1t would mo-
only facilitate his sons communication witt
the leaders of his party, but also save his owl
purse. "' TO- s.,,..l,I ij..s
