A few days after this the count rode to the chatean *of the marchioness 10 pay his re- speets lo her j and before he went, he was conductad round her beautiful hive estate, all the fine qualities of which he scanned with a very observant eye., When de- parted, he bade her adieu, sayiog h8 was obliged to return to Paris, but should hasten back to the country again. us soon as he was at liberty, and humbly hoped he © permitted to improve further the acquaint- ance he had been so happy as to make. Du Foinvert was a handsome and fascin- ating man of distinguished family and rank ; the marchioness was young and a widow, and life at the chateau was somewhat lone- ly for her. Very soon alter this, the mar- chioness found herself seized with a strong desire to proceed to Paris also. As her carriage was proceeding along the Boulevards, she ubserved a glittering pany of gentlemen on hursgback approaching, nding on either side, and in the wake of u very sumptuous chariot,drawn by four white ponies. In the charnol was seated a gentle. wan of a somewhat dissipated appearance, apparently beyond wmifdle life, but sull of a vivacious and lively temperament. This was the Duke of Orleans, cousin of the and allerwards celobiated as the Egalite ot the Revolution. These, how- aver, were the days of his luxury, pomp, and insonciant intrigues. On his right hand rode Dua Foinvert, on his black und white horse, making about the finest aud most n+ teresting figure of tho goodly company. The count raised his hat, aud bowed low, as he canght sight of his cliaiming country neightor in the carriage. The marchioness sried aud blushed 1 return. ¢ Hey ! what 1s the weaning of {lus 2' ex claimed the duke; ¢ Du Foiovert, what have you been about 7 Who is she 7° ¢ The Marchioness do .Beauvoisin--a neighbor of mine in the country, monseig- neur," answered the count, king, ¢ A country neighbor come to town,' re- turned the duke, looking up in the face of his young courtier with a scrutinizing glance. + What! Du Fomven actually blushes I" ¢« Not I, monseigneur. Itis your fancy.' ¢« No, no : ny eyes ae still good ; and dd I not see that the lady, your courtry neighbor, blushed also ? I take 1t you are woll disposed towards each other." ¢« It would b us 10 be so, mon neunr, since our houses are but little better than a gunshot apart.' ¢ You are right ; and it is well to obey the behests of our most lioly religion, which command us to love our neighbor as onr- selves --and espectully w henthe ne ghbor happens to be a marchioness, But, my aear Du Foinvert, where 1s her husband al the while 7-15 Le not accounted within the pale af neighborship 2 + The lady | 1s not such a thing at present monsignenr,' said Du Foinvert. + Her pan- er is deceased, and she is keeping the shop open on her own account." ¢ My dear count, if ehe has capital, she would make an excellent sleeping partne: --thatgel warrant, has already had your due consideration. But 1 should like to see something more of this most umiable mar- chioness." ¢ My lord, I beg that a passing salutation, sincerely respectful on my pait, may nol lead you to fancy that the ledy is to be trifl- ed with.' « Oh, don't be frightened ! You wrong me in your jealous terror, my dear young friend. So far from being clined to play any tricks, I feel myself warmly disposed to behave like a father to you-- Like a futher to you, Da Foinvert. I see how you are disposed, and will make inquiry to the illigibility of the afloir : excuse me, mon ami! simply paternal, 1 aw aliaid, my son, that, considering how you have been spending money lately, you must be near the botwow of the chest ; and in that case the alliaoce may be advamageous. Con- fess, Du Fonvert, you have nearly got through all 2? ¢ Never fear, my lord ; 1 can find plenty more where | found the ent)? returned Du Fonvert impatiently--the last words 1n u somewhat surpreesed tone. « Ah! but that is no reason why we should neglect this promising httle affair,' continued the duke. «In fact I will send d the Marchi an for swilter step, though she could testrain nei- ther a laugh nor a blush. In the counyard, on one side of the gate- way, she saw Antonie examining with great steadfastness, a beautiful horse,which the groom was leading 10 and fro. + Thery i is the only animal 1 have here at present,' said the count. ¢ That, 1 suppose, 1s not the one you have been alluding to 7" ¢ It is certainly not the same horse 1 saw,' said the marchioness curtly, for she was considerably pixued at the thought of her inquiries being all in vain. « And you sir," said the count to Antonie --¢ is this the animal you saw last night 7° _ ¢ He's exactly the same size, your excel- lency, and has exactly the same swing of tke head,' anewered Antonie, looking at the oreature solemnly. ¢ But be can't be the same, by reason of his breas! legs 3 Yue white, whereas the other was all over as black as somebody's back.' ¢ Ah ha! we are all volved in an enig- ma !' cried the count laughing, ae he hand- ed the marchioness into her carriage. ¢ It is the most surprising thing 1 have heard for many a day ; and I must own myself indebied to your ladyghip for the excitement of a new sensation." It 1s quite refreshing to hear 'of a right, down good mystery in one's immediate neighborhood; « Atjone's own (oor, you might have said, monsieur. However, not long shall it be a mystery : mark my words !" wisd the mar- with a sedoubtabl ke of the ead. EY « Surely, I hope not, since you have set your heart upon an éclaircissement,' return ed the count. He mounted his horse ; and as the charm~ other, es ecially when that other considers our little fete next Wednesday, und the Duchess de Blanverie shall be her chaper- one.' « I have reason to believe that the march- roness, since her widowhood, leads a stiict- ly secluded life." ¢« Only seeing a neighbor now and then perhaps 7' ; «| mean to say, she never goes into 80- ciety ; nud I am by ne means of opinion that she would enjoy anything like the fete we are looking forward to at St. Cloud." « Be not alarmed, my friend ; she shall be humoured most assiduously --most deli- cately : the sweet widow shall have her very whims respected. Be at rest, and confide in me, my dear Du Foinven ; con- fide in we your paternal guardian.' Du Foinvernt did not og by any means now the in- terest the duke manifested 10 his affairs, In sooth, he knew bie grace far wo well to be uuable 10 app ly the | attachment pid him ; and be by uo means relished the idea of his versatile iron coming between him and the widow eauvoisin. When a man begins to enter- tam a tender passion, he does uot feel in- clined to allow the interferance of an ae- complished and powerful roue, howéver fair-sovnding the offered countenance and encouragement of the latter. He does not want to be assisted in his love-aflawr by an- he t be| ------------------------ with, Jot under the. chrortation of the duke ; for by this time he had many times cast !over in his mind the numerous graces and {charms of the young widow, and the solid «e had been the means of making him land substantial assistance herample fortune might aflord in the way of retrieving his uflaits, whieh, 10 say truth, were in a stale of embar and and in \ helping him to begin life again with a clear course betore him. (To be Continued.) a Pasnusce ov Jou.-- Everybody has the habit of bragging on Job; and Job did hev considerable bile pashnnce, that's a fae, but did he ever teach a distrik skule for eight dollars a month and bourd rvuud, or run a kountree noospaper ? Did he ever reap lodged.oats down Wii 0 on a hot day, and hev all his galuss buttons bust up ut once ? Did he ever hev [he jun pin teethake and be made to tend the baby while his wife was over to Parkinses in a tea squall ?

EE a Adversity exuepurates fools, dejects cow- ards, draws oot he faculties of the wise and ingenious, puts the modest to the neces- sity of trying their skill, awes the opulent, aod makes the wile iwdustrivus, Much may be said in favor of adversity, but the worst of it is, it has no friends. Talk and Action-- An exchange claims that-- Women talk ; men acl. Yes some men act very badly, while mafiy women talk altogether too much. A compromise between the two would be of service to the cause of humanity. Romance and Reality--¢ Oh, I'm so glad you like birds. What kind do you most admire ?'{sanl a young wite to herhusband. «Alum! Well. 1 think a goose, with plenty of seasoning is aboul as nice as any,' said thie husband. A parishioner qaired of Lis pastor the meaning of the line of Scripture: ¢ He, was clothed uh curses as with a garment." It signifies, replied the divine, that the in- dividual had a bad habit of swearing. A shrewd old gentleman once said to his only daughter: ¢ Be sure my dear you may never marry a poor man. But remem- ber that the poorest man in the world 1s one that has money and nothing else." Recipe for being universally beloved-- Lend, und never ask to be paid ; make pre- sents, give treals, bear and forbear, do everybody a good turn, hold your peace,and sulisr yoursell to be cheated.

A polite philosopher once thanked a lady who had been singing to a party for an hour by saying, Madame, you have wasted our time charmingly. Why do you always buy a second-class ticket ? asked a gentleman of a miser. Be- oause there is uo third class, was the prompt reply. A little girl wanted to say that she had a fan, but had forgotten what it was called, so she descrited 1t as ¢ a thing to brush the warn ofl of you." What is called the cream of society is usually no'hing but the froth on the top of the social pail, with the very least of the milk of human kiaduess in it, Some one who had a keey appreciation of domestic matters, gave the following toast ata dinner table : + Woman -- the only sew= mg-machune that ever basted a goose." A German writer says that a young girl is a fishing rod, the eyes are the hook, the smile the bait, the lover the gudgeon, and the mariage the butter in which Le is fried. Some one who has ¢ muse in his soul,' says the most cheerful and soothing of all fireside melodies are the blended tones of a cricket, u tea-kettle, a loving wife and a growing baby. That wae a shrewd girl, and not devoid of sense either, who remarked when other girls were making fun ol her short skirts, and affected to be much enocked at the ex= hubition thereof at a party :--¢ 1f you'd only pull up your nesks where they ought to be, ttiey would be ae short as mine?" She was not troubled any more. Gen. Grant made the following speech on the occasion of lis recent visit to the wark - shop of the Baltimore and Olio Railroad : -- & Mr. President, I thank you for your cordial reception." Tis ever held a cenain rule and never known to fail; the higher wp'a monkey climbs, the mo o he shows his "1 don'tdike to patronize this line," said a hardened rogue, us the hangman adjusted the noose to his neck. ¢ Never mind just this once," answered the hangman. . -------------- A tavern keeper hud recently erected a shower bath in one of his rooms. One ute- ning aulrishman, who happened to be drin ing with a few companions, rose up for tl purpose of ringing for more liquor. Looking around the room for the bell-rope, Bere fell on a rope attached to the shower By Saint Patrick I" #aid he, «1 found the bell rope ai lust I"? and seizing at, he gave 1t a strong pull altogether.'
