I had been absent from England for nearly two years, on a conti- nental tour; and although I had heard much of Miss M’IJermot, I had never seen her ut‘ttil her brother introduced me to her at Sauveur I had not known her an hour, be. fore I found myself in a fair way to add another to the list of the poor moths who had singed their wings at the perilous light of her beauty. When M‘l)ertnot-â€"leartting that. like themselves, I was on a desul tory sort of a ramble, and had not marked out any particular routeâ€" otlered me a seat in their carriage, and urged me to accotttpany them. instead of prudently living. from the danger, I exposed myself to it, and lo ! \\ hat might have been an- ticipated, came to pass.

A fortnight had passed, and we were at B . During that time, the spell that bound the had been each day gaining strength. As an intimate lt'iend of her brother, I was already, with Dora, on the footing,r of an old acquaintance ; she seemed well enouuh pleased with my society, and chatted with the willingly and familiarly; but in vain did 1 Watch for some slight indication, a glance or an intona- tion, whence to derive hope.

Things were in this staxg, when one morning, whilst taking an early walk to the springs, I ran up against an English friend, luv name. Waller Ashley He was the ssh of a coumry gentlmnan of moderate forlune, at whose house I had’ pass- ed a week in the shooting sensm.

An irishrrmn,to be sure, occasionally a Slight touch of the brogue was perceptible in his talk ; but from this, his sister, who had beén brought up inlEng- land, was entirely free.” Jack had a snug estate of three thousand a- year; Miss Dora had twenty thousand pounds ro her mother. 1e nu ‘p . t'w .eas‘on‘s 1“in : indon; and if she: was notat- rcady married, it was because not one of the fil';y aspirants to her hand had lound favour in her London; and if she: was nolal- ready married, it was because not one of the fii';y aspirants to her hand had inund favour in her bright eyes.

J. Palmer had a house dog that was as serviceable in protecting his property as any detective could possibly be. A labourer, who had been employed on the farm long enough to gain confidence of his employer, was entrusted with the key ofthe barn; and was frequently employed to bring sacks offlour to the house for family use. One night this man went and stole a. sack of corn-- 'l‘he dog, who was intimate with the thiet. followed him very quietly so long as he pursued the path that led to his master’s house; but when he turned his course into the road that took him Into the village, the dot.» caught hold of his leg, and would not let him stir; as much as to say, " Where are you going with my master’s corn 'l” The man then tried to go back again with the sack to the barn ; but the dog, as if con- scious of his design, would neither let him do that nor procead on his journey. In this dilemma the man was obling to remain all night. The dog held him last, though he did not hurt him in the least -â€" in this strange situation the man was found in the morning. Unable to give. any satisfactory account as to how he came with the sack ol corn, he threw himself on Mr. Palmer's mercy, by making a full confession of his dishonesty. As before mentioned, Dora rode a little in front, with Ashlev- beside her, pointing out the beauties of the wild scenery throhgh which we passed. and occ'astonally'laying a a hand upon her bridle to guide the mule over some unussaHy rug- ged portion of the. almost trackless mountain. M’Dermot and I were waikinglwhind. a ‘tittie pufle'd by the. steepness of the ascent; our guide, whose name was Cadet, a name answered to by every second France. strode along beside u's. like a pair of compasses with leathem lung‘s. Presently the last named individual mrned to me. There _is no season more agreeable in the Pyrenees than the month of September.

The noblest deeds which have been done on earth have not been done for gold. it was not for the sake of gold that the Lord came down and died, and the apostles went out to preach the good news in all lands. The Spartans 1ool<ed for no reward in maney when they- lfought and died at Thep'mopylze”; and Socrates the wise asked no’ pay from his countrymen, but lived- poor and barefoot all his days, only. caring to make men good. And, there are heroes in our days, also, who do noble. deeds, but not {or gold. Our discoverers did not go to make themselves rich when they sailed out one after another into the dreay frozen seas; nor did the. ladies who went out ‘- last ‘year to diudge in the h0spitals of the. East, making themselves poor, that they might be xich in noble works. And young men, too, whom you know, children, and some of them ot your own kin, did they say to themseles, “ How much money shall I earn I” when they went. out to ,the war, leaving wealth, and comfort, and a pleasant home, and all that money can give, to [ace hunger and thirst, and wounds. and death, that they might fight for their court-try and their Queen!

NEW Mom; or" ‘P‘AYINGQWQ A DINNER.-â€"â€"Tile following anecdote is said to bee true slorv, though it lrcads a little tietitous ;â€"â€"A' Certiai’ti‘ lquasi-commercial ‘gentff travelling in the North, stopped at a commer- cial house.» He ordered dinner, and enjoyed himself after the fash- ion of the craftâ€"the ‘ptnt of port’ not being ommitted. When he was about to depart. he celled up mine host, and gravely informedE him he was ‘ very sorry' thal he had @money to pa) the bill, but that. , ,llowed to leave in peace, me would one day return and square up. Now, the landlord had been victimized in this way before, and he was irate. He said he would ~ take it out’ of his customer by kicking him down the steps of the hotel; and he did so. Some time afterwards, to the landlord’s intense astonishment, the ‘ commercial’ re- appeared. He was polite and for- giving; he bore no malice, he said, and he should be glad if mine host would favor him, on this ‘improvedi occasion, with his company at dint ner. The victualer was taken back, lte felt that on the previous :Vvisit he he had been_ltarsh and had mis- judged his customer, and with proâ€" luse apologies he consented to (little with the man he had bcior’e violent- ly ejected from the house: "The ‘ commercial’ ordered a very cap- ital dinner, a bottle or so of {behest wine in the cellar, and it was alte- gPllter a pleasant party A of two.
