It was, indeed, a long walk he had undertak

destination. The Hall-Way House was a lime

roads, with no other house iu sight, and whs a
common stopping place for persons passing to
and from the city. Nut stepped boldly upon
the broad pis.za iu front, and with All cu
sciousuess of his right walked uuhesitatuigly
into the pleasant sitting room. Mrs. Tracev
came 'orward to meet him. ,
"Why, Nat, Is that you?"
"Yea'ui," he answered, gravely. "I was told
to come here an' get a square meal. The King
sent me."
"The King sent you? Well, I guess I'll
have to give you a supper then." said she.
"And, by the way, Nat, did you see my hus

"Ycs'ni ; aud be said for me to tell you he'
be home to.morrer uigbt, and for you not to
be uneasy 'bout that money."
"O, dear! 1 did so hope he'd come home
tuts evening." she sighed.
dbe was, indeed, uneasy on account of the
money in the house. She had slept but little
the preceding night for think iug of it, and
bad worried about it ail through the day. and
now another lonely night was before her. As
she was preparing supper for her guest annth
er thought came to ber. Could she uot induce
Nat to stop there for the night ? His notion of
wandering made it an uncertain request, aad

"Nat," she said, as she poured out a glass ot

"I don't know whether it be orders," he an
swered uncertainly. "Parson said the King
sent out His messengers, and they wasn't to
take no money nor notnin' to eat, and I don
know if it be right to stop."
"O, yes tt is," said Mrs. Tracer, catching at
once the train of his thoughts. "1 heard what

That came unto the editor
One sunny summer morn.
And placed within his jawslod band,

Of loving kindness written bad
Of foeman something good,

of theso contingents, each mustering one nun-

Princess of Wales and the Princesses Louise,

will long be remembered by all who were
spectators. So far from repressing a national
and patriotic sentiment, the military author!
ties gave tree ingress to all who could mnke
any pretense to personal relationship to any
of the departing warriors, and tho crowd on
the parade ground was a very (urge one. Their
Hoyal Highnesses were received with the
usuil honors, tbe soldiers saluting and the
baud ot the Horse Guards, conducted by Mr.
Chas. Godfrey, playing the national anthem.
Tbe Prince of Wales left tbe carriage and
mounted his bay charger in order to inspect
the troops on parade. lie wore a brigate
jacket, with aiguiletteg and regimental cap,
tbe undress uniform, in fact, of a field mar
shal. During the inspection the band played
the Coburg march, and afterwards, when tbe
troops went by, first in squadron, then in
fours and then in Indian file, tbe regimental
marches which custom baa endeared to the
msn were played. It may fairly be said that
the troops looked magnificent, and fit to go
anywhere. Tbe peculiarities of their uniform
struck everybody as being well suited to the
service. The martial helmet and cuirass,
grandly imposing as they are on a full dress
parade, were discarded. No burnished steel,
except that of the swords, flashed in tbe clear,
bright air. White turbancd helmoU of tbe
light Indian pattern, now generally adopted
throughout the army for service in hot coun
tries, were the head-gear of both squadrons.
Brown leather boots of the Blucher shape,
with a swathing of serge, whtch wound
around the leg, fastening at the knee, which
is the Arab form of a garter, replaced the high
jack-boots, or Hessians, as they are erroneous
ly called. The two squardrons formed up in

It is well these warriors will not go forth to
the Delta clad in those burnished cuirasses
and pipeclayed breeches with which London
ers are so fumiliar. A lighter and more suita
ble uniform bas been served out to them, and
England will send out no soldiers more eacer
for distinction than the picked men of the
three splendid regiments which last heard bul
lets whistle at the battle of Waterloo. Their
traoference from the barracks at Regent's
rark to hgypt will be the strangest and most
stirring episode in the lives of all those tng
iisd soiaiera wno nave never seen active ser
vice before. It is notorious that, in the Iron
Duko's phrase, "tbe dandies always fight;"
and it the Lite Guards are called upon to
show their mettle, no doubt that, In Sir Fran-
cis Doyle's words, it will be said of them
"whea the shot poured close and hot, thei
were good men and true."
