We had been boy* together, and had not Men each other since the day we came oat of college. Grahame waa nerer a general favorite Kuk<mg hie olasamates, bat they re spected him for his intellectual quali ties. He had very few what migtit be called intimate friends, for his was not s nature to win the confidence of oth ers, sod he rarely bestowed his on any CDS. Still he had a lew chosen ones who knew him well eaeagh-tofeaefchia word even under the mast adverse cir cumstances, and I was fortunate enough to enjoy his regard. It was verging well on towards winter whan I alighted at Qoughton Regis, the place where he lived. The leavea ef the maples were already turning fiery red, and the wind swept by in mournful gusts, that betokened a com ing storm. Sylyester Grahame met me at the threshold and shook my hand with a hearty welcome. He bad changed very osnoh sinoe our college days. He looked muoh older than I expected to find him, but his great, Mysterious eves shot forth the old eleotric glances that would have enabled one to single him oat among a thousand. The first few days I passed at Hough- ! ton Regis was chiefly spent in exploring Grahame's vast library, and taking short strolls with him about the ooun try. One day we were seated together, when I asked him how it oame that he had disappointed the expectations of his frienas of leading a retired life in stead Of AllUrino ??,IM ? * ?~ vi .u?unig a reuret ?kd of entering the political arena.

No persuaaion will ever tempt me to oome out of my shell." "And do you never intend to marry ?'* I asked. " Never," he replied with an emphasis so deep that I knew his mind wss firmly fixed on that point. The conversation having takes a gloomy turn, I adroitly changed it, sncl began talking of our oollege days. % Many is the good fellow that han passed awsy from earth sinoe then," I remarked. Grahame suddenly started, and with out replying to my remark, abruptly aroee, and going to a closet, brought forth a box, which he unlocked, and took from it a sovereign, and laid it upon the table. " Char lay," he said, with just a slight twinkle of humor abont his mouth, " did you ever reoollect of my owning a green umbrella at Cam bridge ?" I looked st him with some surprise. II Really it would be impossible lor me to recall such a trivial fact, after so many years," I answered with a laugh. " It's the same case with myself," he replied; "but I will tell von a story. I The ooourrenoe happened last sammer, and I have lauphea to any times sinoe when reoalling it. "I was sitting in this room, by the window, musing upon the sublime mys teries of the weatner, and impatiently longing for the cool days to oome again, when a stranger entered, and abruptly made his way to my ohair. " There waa nothing very remarkable in the figure of my visitor?as far, at least, ss it met my view. His features, however, were characterised by an air of frankness and intelligence that would have interested a phyaiognomist; sad his manner might ba said to indicate at onoe the modern follower of fashion, and the diaelple of philoeophy.

' You are perfectly right; I am far from forgetting it. But it was a distant rela tion. Her property hss been nearly swallowed up by a raging lawsuit.

It was s smile that plainly in* lima ted that I was mistaken in my sur The loss whioh hss at length pro cured me the pleasure of this inter view,' he replied, 4 is not of so im portant a nature as you seem to antici pate. Indeed, among the events yon refer to, it is more than probable that yon have entirely forgotten it. This prologue may appear ridiculous, be cause the circumstance I am about to mention is trifling ;. but trifles are of importance when identified with prin ciples. About the period stated, then, in one of the rooms of Cambridge, yon left?or in plainer language lost?-did you not, an umbrella f " 'An umbrella ?' I gasped. " ilea sir?a green umbrella V V* %t is poesible,' I replied, some what disappointed, that I may at some time or; other have sustained such loss, but whether in France Mr I the Pyramids or on the Nil* is therefore, , loss. *' . ?. I " ' I have been,' reeomed the stran ger (without stat|ng why the eventful umbrella wss detained in the first in stance, but leaving me to infer that it fell into his hsnds),' I have been in ill health, and wss for some years absent from Englund. This must be my ex cuse to you for not waiting on you be fore. I do so now for the purpose of requesting that you will state wnat you oonoeive to be the Rvalue of the um brella, and that you will allow me to pay you for what was unquestionably yours.' " I was so startled by this proposal that I made no immediate reply to it, and before I oould pronounce my reso lution not to hear of such an arrange ment. my inquisitor hsd made another attack upon my memory, by asking whether the umbrella was a ootton or silk one. " Here a little difficulty arose. If I described it as s silk one (whioh I was certain it must have been, ss I always detested those of oontrary quality), it was like increasing its value, and might look like a desire for remuneration. To oonfeen, on the other hand, to ootton, would have been a triumph over pride too philosophio for my spirit. I saved my decision by shortness of memory. " This forgetfulness, however, was by no means satisfactory to my conscien tious fellow-student I oould only re ply to his urgent offers of indemnifica tion, by assuring him that, as I had never wanted what was lost, I consid ered upon Othello's principle that I had not lost snything. Thst having onoe forgotten the circumstance, I oould not think of receiving a recompense for rec ollecting it That I had purchased many umbrellas sinoe, in place of the one he alluded to; and Isetly that I oonsidered myself fortunate in the loss, sS it had obtained ms an introduction to one who erinoed so fine a perception of the distinction between meum and tuum. " My arguments were without avail; he persisted, and I declined. The oon teet might have lasted till this morning, had not the stranger finding my nega tives invincibly thrown upon the table a piece of gold, and scarcely allowing himself time to articulate a hope that the amount would repay me for the lees, darted suddenly out of the door.* "Stay,'I cried, 'but one moment.' And my curiosity to know who he was haying considerably increased, I rushed rapidly after him, and caught the echo of his * good fcy,' mingled'*'with the sound of his heme's hoofs. ?? ?I cannot suffer yon to leave thls^ I shouted.

The raid upon Young's Hotel was at* tended with more excitement than the others, end si one time these were an tioipations and aerion* fears of s bloody not. The officer in charge of the seiz ure visited the barroom and asked the barkeeper if Mr. Young wae in- The barkeeper immediately sent for the pro prietor of the hotel. Mr. Young, ac companied by the steward, immediately pet in an appearance. Mr. Gonstable showed his authority, and said he was ready to take sway whatever he oould find en the premises that wss in the least calculated to intoxicate or stimu late. The. barroom was first cleaned out, the bottles, deoanters and demi johns being speedily removed to an ex press sleigh which wss in waiting st the door. They t0tM wended, their wsy to the wine oelhuv. The work of removing the immerse stock wbioh they encountered wss no easy task. There were barrels, casks and kegs by the dosen of ohoioe wines and liquors, and there were hun dreds and hundreds" of * oases. Having surveyed the work before them, the officers seemed the services of a dosen or more Ukmstem, and then the work of seisure oommenctd in earnest. The aide walks were literally blookeded with barrels end - wine esses, end half s dosen teems were required to transport the stock to the storehouse in Broin field street. Ohafspagne, foreign wines, oommon liquors snd ales were ell oon flseeted in one eommonrldt.1 Some of the wines, of teie brands, had been on hand for upwards of fifteen or twenty MM*. e work of removal ooonpisd about i hours, snd the value of the - el~ other unmibtakable eTidenoM of disap probation on the part of the crowd were loud end numerous. One man was so unwise as to allow his feelings to get the better of his judgment, and he went for ono of the offloers in a most fierce and determined manner. Bis action at one time threatened to encourage oth era, and an anti-rum riot was momen tarily imminent. Sympathisers crowded around and shouted loud word* of en couragement, and snowballs and pieoes of ioe were hurled in abundanoe at the heads of the officers. The offloers drew their rcYolvers, and this; prooeeding momentarily intimi dated the crowd, and the leading offender and assailant was borne to the Tomb# in Court square. Before re suming the work of oonflsoatien an ad ditional foroe of ofHders came upon the ground to grapple with any further re sistance that might be made. . There were no foraible demonstrations, but the multftnde still kept up its tirade of words. When the work of removal was .completed, some fellows, who are evi dently hostile to the prohibitory law, obtained access to the roof of some buildings adjacent to the hotel and tumbled a few hundred pounds of snow down upon the heads of the industri ous constables. At abont the same time that Mr. Young's house was being raided on, another squad of officers was oooupied in going through the Tremont House. About $6,000 worth of stock was taken from here, including nearly everything on hand. The majority of the goods seised consisted of ohoioe wines, the quantity of common liquors in store unusually light. The time occu pied in oonfisoation and transporting | away waa abont an hour, and during this brief period a orowd of several thousand oolleeted in the vicinity. Their demonstrations were mostly of the same kind as Young's, but not so violent or prolonged. As eoon as the wholeeale dealers oouid send up an other supplv of beverages the bar was opened sgain, and business proceeded as before. The Sherman House, in Court square, did not eeoape attention, and the offl oers oleaned out the barroom of about fBOO worth of various oommon liquors, and while thui engaged Mr. Hull look ed up the other apartments where he had liquors stored. ?. An officer went up to Pemberton square and consulted with bis ohief, and the latter advirted the subordinate to use no violence. The warrant under which the seisure wan made permitted a search uf the entire premises, and authorised the breeking in of doors if nnocssarr \ but the fears of a riot pre rented the exercise of full powers. ;<T.. ? ? * ?* Mar Him.?
