Jack was one of the handsomest fellows in England when we entered together in the I lighland Buffs ; but I quitted the Cuttykilts early, and lost sight of him for mnnv years. Ah! how changed he is from those days. He wear J a waistband now, and has begun to dye his whiskers, //is checks, which were red, are now mottled; his eyes, once so bright and steadfast, are the color of oecled nloverfe eccs. "Are you married, Jack ?" said I, remembering how consumedly in love lie was with his cousin Lctty Lovelace, when the Cuttykilts were quartered at Strathbungo oomrf twenty years ago. "il/anicd ? No," said lie. "Not money enough. Hord enough to keep myself, much more l . imilv, on five hundred a yea?. G'ome to Dickenson's?there's i some of the best Madeira in London there, I my boy!" bu wc wont and talked over old times. 7'he bill for dinner and wine consumed, was prodigious; and the quantity of brandy and water that Jack took, showed what a regular boozer he was. "A guinea, or two guineas. What the devil do I care what i spend for my dinner?" says ho. "And Letty Lovelace," says 1. Jack'scounteiumco full. However, lie buvst mto a loud laugh. "Letty Lovelace?" says ho. "She's Lclty Lovelace still; hut Gad, such a wizened old woman'.--She's as thin as a thread-paper, (you remember what a figure she had;) her nose has got red, and her teeth blue. She's always ill; always quarrelling with the rest of the family; always psalm-singing, mul always taking pills. Gad, 1 had a rare escape there. Push round the grog, old boy." Straightway memory went back to the days when Lctty was the loveliest ot blooming young creatures; when to hear horsing was to make the licnrt jump into your throat; when to see her dunce, was better than Monlessu or Noblot; (they were the Ballet. Queens of those days;) wl.en Jack used to wear a locket of her hair, with a little gold chain round his neck, and, exhilarated with toddy, aftei a sederunt of the C'uttykilt mess, used to pull out his token, and kiss it, and howl about it, to the great amusement of the bottle-nosed old Major, or.d the rest of the table. "My father and her's could'nt put their noses together," said Jack. "The General wouid'ntcome down with more than six thousand. My Governor said it should'nt be done under eight.

"And here's a wreck of two lives !" rnuscd the present Snobographcr, after taking leave of .lack Spiggot. "Pretty, merry Letty Lovelace's rudder lost, and she cast away, and handsome Jack Spig aui. ntituiucu un me snore iikg a drunken ^Vinculo." What was it that insulted Nature, (to use no higher n.ijhe,) and perverted her kindly intentions towards thern ? What cursed frost was it that nipped the love that both were bearing, ana condemned ine girl to sour sterility, and the lad to seldsh old-bachelorhood ?
