THE FIRST AND LAST DINNER.
A TALK OF LIFE.
Twelve friends, touch About the
same age, and fixed by their pursuits,
their family connections and other lo
cal interests, as permanent inhabi
tants of the metropolis, agreed one
day when thoy wore drinking their
wine at the Star and Garter at Rich
mond, to inslitute an annual dinner
among themselves, under the follow
ing regulations: That they should
dine, alternately, at each other's
houses on the first and hist day of the
year: and that the first bottle of wine
uncorked at the first dinner should
be reeorked and be put away to bo
drunk by him who should be the last
of their number; that they should
never admit a new member; that
when one died, eleven should meet,
and when another died, ten should
meet, and so on, and that, when only
one remained, he should, on those two
days dine by himself, and sit the usu
al hours at his solitary table; but the
first time he so dined alone, lest it
should be the only one, he should
then uncork the first bottle, and In
the first glass drink to the memory of
all who wore gone.
There was something original and
whimsical In the idea, and it was ea
gerly embraced. They were all in the
prime of life, closely attached by re
ciprocal friendship, fond of social en
joyments; and looked forward to their
future meetings with unalloyed anti
cipations of pleasure. The only
thought that could have darkened
those anticipations, was not very like
ly to intrude itself at this moment
that of the hopeless wight who was
destined to uncork the first bottle at
his lonely repast.
It was high summer when this frol
ic compact was entered into; and as
their pleasure yacht skimmed along
the dark bosom of the Thames, on
their return to London, tbey talked
of every thing but their first and last
fears of the ensuing years. Their im
aginations ran riot with a thousand
gay predictions of festive merriment,
they wantoned in conjectures of what
(dianges time would make; Joked each
other on their appearance when they
should meet—some hobbling on
crutches after a severe fit of the gout;
others poking about with purblind
eyes, which, even spectacles could
hardly enable to distinguish the alder
man's walk or a haunch of venison
some with portly round bellies and ti
dy little blown wigs, and others de
cently dressed out In" a now suit of
mourning, for the death of a great
grand-son or a great-grand-daughter.
"As for you, George," exclaimed
one of the" twelve addressing his
brother-in-law, "I expect I shall see
you as dry, withered, and shrunken as
an old set skin, you mere outside of a
man!" and he accompanied the words
with a hearty slap on the shoulder.
George Fortescue was leaning care
lessly over the side of tlm yacht,
laughing the loudest of any at the
conversation that had been carried on.
The sudden manual salutation of his
brotb«rdn-law threw him oft hla bal "
anoe, and in a moment he was over
board. They heard the heavy splash
of his fall, before they could be said to
have seen him fall. The yacht was
proceeding swiftly along—but it was
Instantly stopped. The utmost con
sternation now prevailed. It was
nearly dark, hut Fortescue was known
to be a good swimmer, and startling
as the aoctdent was, they felt certain
that he would regain the vessel, They

could nut sot- him. They listened. They
heard the sound cf his hands nml fret.
They hailed him. An answer wa» re
turned, hut in v faint gurgling voice,
ami the exclamation, " 0 Rod!" struck
upon their ears. lit an instant, two
or three who were expert swimmers,
plunged into the river, and swam to
wards the spot wliem c the exclama
tion hftd proceeded. Due pfthem was
within an ana's length ot' Fortescue
he saw htin; before lie could he reueh
ed, lie went down, ttml his distructed
friend bejield the eddying circles of
the wave just over the spot where he
had sunk. He dived alter him and
touched the bottom; but the tide
must have drifted the body onwards,
for he could not lie found! They pro
ceeded to one of-the nearest stations
where draws were kept, and having
procured all the apparatus necessary,
they returned to the fatal spot. After
the'lapse of above an hour, they suc
ceeded in raising the lifeless body of
their lost friend. All the usual reme
dies were employed for restoring sus
pended animation, hut in vain; and
they now pursued the remainder of
their course to London, in mournful
silence, with the corpse of him who
had commenced the day of pleasure
with them in the fullness of health, of
spirits, and of life! Amid their severer
grief they could not hut reflect how
soon one of the joyous twelve had
slipped out of the iitfle circle.
The mont lis rolled on, and cold De
cember came with till its cheering
round of kindly greetings and merry
hospitalities; and with it came the
softened recollection of poor Kortescue;
eleven of the twelve assembled on the
last day of the year and it was Impos
sible not to feel their loss as they sat
down to dinner. The very irregularity
of the table, six on one side, and only
five on the other, forced the melan
choly event on their memory.
There are few sorrows so stubborn
as to resist the united influence of
wine, a circle of select friends, and a
season of prospective gaiety. A dec
orous sigh or two, a few becoming
ejaculations, and an instructive obser
vation on the uncertainty of life,
made up the sum of the posthumous
" offerings to the remains of poor
George Forteseue" as they proceeded
to discharge the more important du
ties for which they had met. liy the
time the third glass of champagne
had gone round, in addition to sundry
potations of tine old hock, and "cap
ital Madeira," they had ceased to dis
cover anything so pathetic in the in
equality 'of the two sides of the table,
or so melancholy in their crippled
number of eleven".
[Tho rest of tho evening banted (iff
very pleasantly in conversation, spofl
humored enjoyment, and conviviality,
and it was not till l- o'clock that poor
George Fortesoue was retnembereo,]
Tlicv all agreed at parting, how
over, that thoy had never passed sueli
a happy day, congratulated each oth
er upon instituting so delightful a
meeting, and promised to be punctual
to their appointment the ensuing
evening, when they were to celebrate
the new year, whose entrance they
had welcomed in bumpers of good
claret, as tho watchman bawled
"twelve o'clock!" beneath the win
dow.
They met accordingly, and their
gaiety was without any alloy or draw
back.' It was only the first time of
their assembling since the death of
poor Oedrge Fortoseue, that made the
reollcction of it painful; for, though
but a few hours had intervened, tbey
now took their seats at tho table as if
eleven had been (heir original num
ber and as if all were there who bad
ever been expected to be there.
It is tints in everything; Tito first
time a man enters a prison -the first
book an author writes—the first pic
ture an artist exeeutes--tbo first bat
tle a general wins—nay, the first lime
a rogue is hanged—(for a rotten rope
may provide a second performance,
even of that ceremony, with all its
singleness of character! —differ incon
ceivably from their first repetition.
There is a charm, a spell, a novelty,
a freshness, a delight, inseparable
from the first experience, (hanging
always excepted, he it remembered i
which no art or circumstance can im
part to the second. And it is the
same in all the darker traits of life.
There Is a poigancy and anguish in
the first assaults of sorrow, that is
never found afterwards. In every
case, it is simply that the first fine
edge of our feelings lias boon taken
oft; and that it can never be restored.
Several years had elapsed and our
eleven friends kept up their double
anniversaries, as they might aptly
enough be called, with scarcely any
perceptible change. But alas! there
came one dinner at last, which was
darkened by a calamity tbey never
expected to witness, for on that very
day their friend, companion, brother
almost, was hanged!— Yes Stephen
Rowland, the wit, the oracle, the life
of their little circle, bad, on the morn
ing of that day, forfeited his life on
a public Hcatt'o'ld, f<u' having made one
stroke of his pen in a wrong place.
In other words, a bill of exchange
for £700' passed out of his hands for
£1700: he having drawn the important
little prefix to the hundreds; and tiie
bill being paid at the banker's without
examining the words of it. The for
gery was discovered—brought borne
to Rowland—and though tho greatest
interest was used to obtain tho re
mission of the penalty, poor Stephen
Rowland was hanged. Everybody
Eitied him and nobody could tell why
c did it. He was not poor; be was
not a gambler; he was not a specular
tor; but Phrenology settled it. The
organ of aofjuitiUvenen was discov
ered in his head, after bis execution,
as large as a pigeon's egg. Ho ootild
not help it.
It would be injustice to the ten to
say, that even wine, friendship and a
merry session, could dispel the gloom
which pervaded the dinner. It was
agreed beforehand that tbey should
not refer to the distressing and mel
ancholy theme: and having interdict
ed the only thing that really occupied
their thoughts, the natural eonse
queilGe W»s, that silent contemplation
took the place of dismal conversation;
and thoy separated long before mid
night.
* * * Some fifteen years
had now gilded away since the late of
poor Rowland, and the ten remained;
but the hand of Time bad written
sundry changes in most legible char
acters. Raven locks hud become griz
zled—two or three beads had not ns
many locks altogether as may be
reckoned In a walk of half a mile

along the Regent's Canal one was
actually covered with a hrown wig;
the crow's feet were visible in the cor
ner of the eye; good old port and
warm .Madeira carried it against
hock, claret, Burgundy and Chant*
pagne—stews, hashes and rngouls,
grew into favor; crusts were rarely
called for to relish the cheese after
dinner; conversation Was less bois
terous, and it turned chiefly on poli
ties aud tht' state of the funds, or
landed property; apologies were made
for coming in thick shoes and stock
ings; the doors ami windows were
more carefully provided with list and
sand bags; the tire in more request;
and a quiet game of whist tilled up
the hours that were wont to be de
voted to drinking, singing ami riotous
merriment. The rubbers, a cup of
coffee and at home by eleven o'clock,
was the usual cry, when the fifth or
sixth glass had gone round after the
cloth had been removed. At parting,
too, there was now a lo'hg ceremony
in the hall, buttoning Hp great coats,
tying on woolen comforters, fixing
silk handkerchiefs over the mouth
and up to the ears, and grasping
sturdy walking canes, to support un
sleady feet.
Their fiftieth anniversary had come
and Death had indeed heon busy.
One had been killed by the overturn
ing of the mail, in which be had taken
bis place to bo present at the dinner,
having purchased an estate In Mon
mouthshire and retired thither with
bis family. And had undergone the
the terrible operation for the stone,
and expired beneath the knife—tho
third bad yielded up a broken spirit
two years alter tho loss of an only sur
viving and beloved daughter—a fourth
was carried off in a few days by the
cholera morbus—a fifth had breathed
his last the very morning he obtained
a judgment in his favor by the Lord
Chancellor, which hud cost him his
last shilling nearly to get, and which,
alte ra litigation of eighteen years,
declared him the rightful possessor of
ten thousand a year—ton minutes af
terwards he was ho more. A sixtli
had perished by tho hand of a mid
night assassin, who broke into his
house for plunder, and sacrificed the
owner of it as he grasped convulsively
it bundle of Exchequer hills, which the
robber was drawing from beneath his
pillow, where bo know tbey were ev
ery night placed for better security.
Four little old men, of withered ap
pearance and decrepit walk, with
cracked voices, and dim, ruyloss eyes,
sat down, by the mercy of Heaven (as
tbey themselves tremulously declared)
to celebrate for the fiftieth time the
first day of the year, to observe the
frolic compact, which half a century
ago tbey entered into at the Star and
Garter at Richmond! Eight were in
their graves! Yet tbey chirped cheer
ily over their glass, though they could
scarcely carry it to their lips, if more
than half full"; and cracked their Jokes,
though thoy articulated their words
with difficulty, and beard each other
w.tb still greater difficulty. Thoy
mumbled, thoy chattered, tbey laugh
ed, if a sort of strange wheezing might
be culled a laugh—and when the
wines sent their icy blood in wanner
pulse through their veins, tbey talked
of their past as it wore but a yesterday
had slipped by them, and their future
as it were a busy century that lay be
fore them.
They werojust the number formpiiet
rubber of whist; and for three successive
years they sat down to one. Tho fourth
came and the rubber was played with
an open dummy; a fifth, and whist
was no longer practicable; two could
play only at cribbuge, and cribbago
was the game. But it was little more
than the mockery of play. Their
palsied hands could hardly hold, or
their fading sight distinguish tho
cards, while their torpid faculties made
them doze between each deal.
At length came the la*t dinner, and
the survivor of the twelve, upon whose
head four-score and ton winters had
showered their snow, ate his solitary
meal. It so chanced it was at his
house and bis table thoy bad Celebrat
ed the first. In his ccllor, too, had re
mained for eight and forty years, tho
bottle which they had uncorked, re
corked, and Svhlcn he was then to un
cork again. It stood beside him.
With a feeble and reluctant grasp be
took the " frail memorial " of a youth
ful vow, and for a moment memory
was faithful to her office. She tlirew
open the long vista of burled years,
and his heart travelled through them
all. Their lusty and blithesome spring;
their bright and fervid autumn; their
chill, but not too frozen winter. He
saw as In n.miiror how one by one the
laughing companions of that merry
hour, at Richmond, bad dropped into
eternity. He felt all the loneliness of
his condition, for be bad eschewed
marriage, and in the veins of no living
creature ran a drop of blood whose
source was in his own! and he drained
the glass which he had filled, "to the
memory of those who wore gone,"
the tears slowly trickled down the fur
rows of his aged face.
He had thus fulfilled one part of bis
vow, and prepared . himself to dis
charge the other, by sitting the usual
number of hours at tho desolate table.
With a heavy heart be resigned him
self to the gloom of his own thoughts,
a lethargic sleep stole over him—lds
head fell upon his bosom—confused
images crowded into bis mind—he
babbled to himself—was silent—and
when bis servant entered the room,
alarmed by the noise he heard, he
found his master stretched upon the
carpet at the foot of his easy chair out
Of Which ho had slipped in an apoplec
tic lit. He never spoke again nor
once opened his eyes, though the vital
spark was not extinct till the follow
ing day. And this was the last din-

Herewith I certify that Mis* Josephine Lind
ley iias been a student In my department of
the University for Aye consecutive terms, vir:
from September, WO, to April 3d, 1872. During
this time she studied U>o French, the Spanish
and the Herman languages, obtaining nlways
the highest marks for proficiency and attend
ance, her average ereuil mark for five terms
being 97 per cent.
On entering the University, Miss Lindley
p>ssessed already such knowledge of the
French and Spanish idioms as to lie able to
speuk them with ease, fluency, correctness,
and a pure pronunciation.
She may now be considered thoroughly fa
miliar with the t heory nnd philosophy, as well
as with the application of these two tongues;
and she may safely bo recommended as a can
didate of great promise, ibr teaching the
French and Spanish languages.

superiority are: Lightness of draft, It being a
centre draft; a castor wheel in the rear, which
makes it turn In a spneo sufficient to accom
modate Its length; It. lias a falling pole and
can, by sliding, be adjusted to the driver's
