BRIGHTLEY'S ORPHAN.

A FRAGMENT.

​[The author had only written two chapters of this story when he joined the Army. It was the last thing his hand was engaged upon when the call for volunteers summoned him to the field. He said of it, "I am tired of writing of crime and wrong; this shall be cheerful and sunshiny, if I can make it so." In its unfinished state it has been thought worthy of preservation.]
