MR. A. A. YOUKG. 



Enthusiasm, even in a doubtful cause, lias that witMn it 

 whicli commands respect : how much more then will this 

 be the case when the object is something more than 

 praiseworthy ? In the man fashioned in the ordinary 

 mould the love of fox-huntings however strong in the prime 

 of life_, will wax faint as years roll on^ and his seventieth 

 year will probably find him indifferent to his former 

 love. 



Fourscore years have passed over the head of Orling- 

 bury^s venerated " Squire ; " but the passion for the 

 chase that burned so strongly within him seems to have 

 lost little of its intensity, though he can no longer gratify 

 it as of yore. A fall from his horse, rather than lapse of 

 time, brought about the result which compelled Mr. 

 Young to follow hounds on wheels instead of in the saddle 

 — a change deeply felt by the fine old sportsman. 

 Accompanied by a lady whose love for everything con- 

 nected with hunting fully equals that of her father, the 

 old Squire never fails to appear in his little " Dagmar ^'
