So long as boys are permitted to go about loose, ouo is liable to meet with them, and I met with a specimen only last week, whioh I shall not easily forget. I was starting from Waterloo Station by an afternoon train from Hampshire, and meeting with four military friends who were going to Farnboro Station, (for Aldershot,) I got into their carriage. Besides us five, there was au Eton Boy. There is no mistaking that description of tho race; they aro always dressed ia the height of fashion in the vacations, although at school they delight in a hat with half its brim off, and moreover, they all wear stiff little white ties, which give them the appearance of duodecimo ministers of some juvenile religious sect. The little wretches are as haughty and reserved as North American Indians; and the individual of fourteen years of age or so, whom wo had on this occasion for our fellow-traveler, looked as though the entire railway station plat, and valuable belonged catii himself. My soldier friends, however, (a class which has generally a contempt for boys,) paid no sort of attention to him, and aa for me, I was delighted to ignore his presence. "Now, Jack," said my friends, two of whom were my college chump, ?nd all of them intimates, "you will let us smoke, we know, although not fond of it your? self." "Well," replied I, "it will very proba? bly make mo ill, but otherwise I have no objection." As soon as the train began to move, they accordingly lit their segars; they had not, however, taken three puffs be? fore the ohild in the whito cravat (whose wishes no one had thought of consulting) requested, in that half-hoarse, half sqaeaking voioe peculiar to his period of Ufe, that they should pat their segars oat, because smoking was offensive to him, and contrary to the by-laws. The officers stared as thongh the car? riage lamp had uttered an observation, and then all four burst into a roar of laughter. "You will find it no laughing matter, gentlemen, when yon get to Farnboro," said the Etonian; "or, at all events, the joke will cost you two pounds apiece. You have been warned, as the act directs; I objeot to your smoking in this car? riage." "Then get into another, you little brute," observed Pepperpot, of the One Hundred and Tenth; "indeed I have a good mind to drop you out of tho win? dow as we go along. " "I will thank you for your names and addresses," returned the phenomenon, stiffly; "here is my card at your service. Be so good as to name your friend." "Smith, of London." replied Pepper pot; "only give me time to write to my wife and family. What a bloodthirsty young creature it is!" "Ho is very plucky," remarked Nor? man of tho knights, approvingly, "I will say that for him; but what check! what cheek!" 'T am obliged to you for your good opinion," returned the little wonder, drawing out a gold repeater; "but if withal ono minute your segars ure not extinguished. I will appear against you ns snre as I am a living man. My time ?8 of no consequence, and I would us soon get out nt Farnboro ail anywhero else; au you may be sure you will not escapo me. I feel it my duty to prosecute on public grounds." Once moro did Popperpot glauco at the window, nod even stretch his hand toward this human gudtly, as though he would have nipped him up between his fingers aud thumb; but with a rueful look at his companions, he presently oast his beloved weed out of the carriage, in? stead of the boy, The other threo fol? lowed his example; for was it worth while to pay forty shillings apiece for forty minuten ride? "That's right," observed tho young gentleman approvingly, returning hit watch to his ,pockot, and re-engaging himself in the colums of Bell's Life, "obedience to law is one of the first du tics of the soldier." Conversation flagged after this, for c sonse of disgraceful dofeat oppressed th? mJmiMMsW?amWl?t?mmmm^m??ammtmatm^ ?pirita ?M?/JW?tf? f"*?6 number of, eavero things against theoom mon enemy; but ho never l?fted his eyes from the exciting detail? of the cham? pion fight of light weights, which ap? peared to afford him intense though tran? quil satisfaction. When the soldiersAfepjt out at Farnboro\ I observed his eyes twinkle-' with special merriment; but I could not be certain that ho woe enjoying his victory until the train began to move again. No sooner, however,' bad wo left the platform than the Etonian burst into such a series of fits of laughter that they actually rumpled his neck-ciotb. He be? came, in short, to my horror, a boy in one of its most ordinary and repulsive forms. "I think I did 'em eh, old stick in che mud?" observed he, when he got a little breath. "You deprived four gentlemen of au hour's pleasure, " replied I, haughtily. "Yes, but I deprived myself oswell, returned the diminutive, producing from his pocket a briar root pipe. "I can't go without my tobacco myself, without great inconvenience. "Whut!" cried I, "you aro not going to smoko, yourself, you young monkey ?" "Ain't I, though?" interrupted the Etonian, nodding in an offensively fa? miliar manner. "If those fellows had been civil, and nuked my permission to smoko as well as yonrs, I would have given thom each a better segar than the Line are accustomed to, I flatter myself, but sinco they chose to carry matters with a high hand, you see-puff-puff and got hold of the wrong man for that sort of thing-puff-puff-why, they have to take tho consequences." "But I will not permit you to smoke, young sir," observed I, indignantly; "or if you do (for I shrank from a personal contest with that audacious child,) you shall pay a couple of sovereigns out of your own pocket money at the next sta? tion." "Excuse me," returned tho Etonian, blandly; "tho by-law says, 'if objected to;' now when your friends inquired whether you would allow them to smoko Jack (smoko Jack-by tho by that's funny-when your friends-puff, puff demanded that, you replied-for I heard you-that you had no objection." And that awful specimen of tho genius boy smoked undeterred, like a limo kiln, until we both got out at Weymouth; where, if I had had my way, ho should have been tnken off to Portland prison, and kept there until such timo as he nnuiliu ub His tuu^ci th VU J.
