Farewell to In any other pleasant things indissolubly associated with chambers, latch keys, and single blessedness; for already had I signed an agreement with the landlord of a family resi- dence in Pimllco, bordering upon Belgrnvra. On the next quarter day I should take possession, my chambers would know me no: more. i should enter upon my ca- reer as afatnily-man. 'Ol course,‘ you will gather from this that. l was about to be married, and will perhaps think me wanting in the ecstacy which as that period of a man’s lile is supposed to supplant every other feeling. and will con- sider mv regrets as unbecoming a bridegroom elect. The fact is l was to a certain extent, done out, of six months of my lreedom. If, on the approaching Michael- mas-day, 1 had been about to con» duct mv charming Margaret to as- sume at once her position as misâ€" tress of my home and heart, I could have cheerfully drowned my latch- key, and turned my back tor ever upon my chambers, without a sigh; for no boy just out of his teens could have been more ardent in his affection than I, though bordering on my fortielh year. But Margaret had promised her aunt, Wlll] whom she had lived from her infancy, to stay with her until after her twenty-filth birth- day, which would not be until the middle of Maren, and even if! had been selfish enough to wish her to break that promise. I don‘t think I could have persuaded her to do so, for she had strong notions ol honor, and a promise from Margaret was like a decree oi the Medes and Per- sians. Why, then, you naturally ask, should you burthen yourself with a large establishment six months before you required itl That is just what l am going to ex- ‘plaln: My chambers were certainly AJ. and Dawson, my valet, butler, and homme dA’flairs generally, was lhe envy of all the single men of my acquainlance: he was simply per- gfeclion. How he would like the change from our present independent mode of living to the formalities and re- gular habits which would devolve upon me as the head of a genteel establishment of my own, I hardly dared to contemplate, and I had made up mv mind to double his wages sooner than part with this treasure ot a servant, when [enter- ed upon my new duties as head ot attou-sehotd, Yes ! these pleasant chambers must be given up. Fare- well to the quiet social evenings. with one or two select friends, 'when neat little oyster suppers closed the entertainment. There certainly was something irresistable about Charlie Morgan ; a. halo of confidential friendship seemed to surround him. and be- lore you had known him many hours you lound yourself thinking of him as an old iriend. I am rather reserved in disposition, but he had only entered our office, and sat at the desk next mine, for a few days, when I invited him to dine with me at my chambers, a mark of attention 1 had not shown to young Ridley, Charlie’s predeces- sor, during the two years we had met in daily business, although we alwa‘ysygot on very well together. Morgan complimented me on my comfortable quarters, and well he might. EXTRACT FROM SANDFIELD‘S EU- LOGY OF JOHN WILSON: ‘Long shall we seek his ditto, long in vain.’ BY AN M.P.P.

I was rather puzzled in my ar- rangements in my new home {or my llllle sister, and should have made some dreadful blunders but lor Margarel’s help and advice. One thing 1 was determined about; I would never invite to my house anybody whom I did not mean to introduce to my wife, and by that determination [devoted my self to comparative solitude; for there were not many frequenters of my chambers who were calculated to shine in ladies’ society. For instance. [thought all little school girls had nurseries, and I intended to furnish a good large room nearthe [up of the house, with toy cupboards, and things 01" that sort. She persuaded me to leave the choosing and arranging of Lucy’s Moms 10 her. and l was only too glad to do so. But Margaret laughed at {he idea, and assured me that young ladies of eighteen dxd not care about dolls. I could not very well tell her that [had contemplated sowing what few wild oats l had left in the six months before 1 could clann her as my bride: so 1 was forced to ap- pear pleased mysell at the arrange- ment, and prepare to settle down into a respecmble household at once. He lmd wriflen to ask the child whether she wouId rather live with me or her mother’s relatives- and she had evinced a marked de- sire to share my home. When I received {his letter, [had been engaged to Margaret for a tow weeks only, and lhc letter an- nouncing to my fuller the impor- tant step I had taken, was on its Way to India. When she showed me We suite of aparlmonts completely filled up, lhe lillle morning room, boudoir, and bed room. chasle and pure looking as an angel’s wings.l fell lhat i had never before done justice 10 my Margaret’s, exquisite taste, but I could not help saying. These rooms seem to me more suitable for some one grown up, than a child. Lucy is not a child Robert. she answered, laughing. Do you think people are not grown up until llley are as old as I am? Mv betrolned was delighted at the plan. It would be so much nicer to me, she said, to have a house of my awn ; 1 must be so uncomfiorlable in those chambers. He requesled that I would have a house comfortably lumished at his expense, ready to receive her, and named a handsome sum, which he intended to allow me yearly fur Lucy’s ‘maintainance. She spent her holidays amongst her mother’s relations. and 1 al- ways supposed that when her edu- cation was finished, she would go to reside with them, or eise go out to India to her father. Great was my surprise, then, on receiving a. letter from the gover- nor,_lellingme that Lucy was 10 leave school at Michaelmas, and itwas her greatest wish I.) live with me, and be my lillle house- keeper. She might say what she pleased. but I could only think of Lucy as a. child; and her pretty - The child was fond 01 me, and l of her.

He was again a widower; my step-mother lelt one child, a daugh- ter, and this lmle girl was sent to England to be educated, when she was about ten years old, and had remained ever since in a school in Richmond, where I paid her visus at staled times. 1 always wrote 10 my father regularly, giving him all particulars about little Lucy. I was only nineteen then, and as l have already let you into the se- cret of my age at 111:: time of which i am writing. vou will perceivq that :wenty years had passed since my finliers second mm’r’i’hge.’ ” ‘ My father married again alter the death of my mother, and took ' his bride out to India with him, leav- ing ire his blessing and a good ap- pointment in Somerset House. Snape came sidling up to me when l was preparing to go home, Charhe gave me a sly wink as he passed, which I quite understood and to reward him for the care he took 01 the child, I persuaded Mar- garet to put down two alter supper dances for him. For my own part, they were short ofone at a \vlnst table, so 1 left my ladies under Charlie’s care, and had a quiet rubber. I had to go out of town the next day, and Margaret had invited Lucy to stay with her until 1 came back. I expected to be away about a fortnight. so they went home 10- gether after the party, and I started by an early :rain for the north. We were agreeably surprised at meeting Morgan there; he was an old Eton chum of our host, it ap- peared, and I did not know they knew each other. The greatest drawback was that fellow Snape being there. I never liked that man with his everlasting smile.and gleaming white teeth, anl l felt quite uncomfortable when 1 saw him go up to Lucy and ask her to dance. Charlie Morgan dislik- ed him as muéh as I did; and be- fore Lucy could answer Snape, Charlie rushed up to her and said, you are engaged for this set, re- member. and walked her oil before the other fellow could get to look at her card to put himself down for a later dance. Considerlfig the restrictions which were placed on my visits, I fell rather surprised when Margaret in formed me in her first letter that Charlie had called lwice at her aunt’s smce the party. I said, when hwrovle to her, that I though he was not wantmg in as- surance to make so free on so slight an acquaintance, and lhat I though! he had better have left it alone lfié'fi‘gfi qum cm". esfi‘r‘fifi "137): :6 fond of dancing as I was ten yegfp ago.

Ihe wilful child elected to go, and very pretty she looked in her sim- ple white dress, not to be. compar- ed, though with my Margaret, who looked queenly in black lace and scarlet. To this she answered in her next letter. [shall begin to think you have imbibed some 01 Aunt Emily’s prndish nations, Robert. from the way you write of Mr. Morgan. How can you be so ridiculous? Morgan did not make his ap- pearance at the office that day ; he sent a message, that he was con- fined to the house with a severe co'd. When we had lived togelher for about a month, we were invited to a party given by a friend, in comâ€" memoralion of his weddingday. Margaret and I, and Lucy.

Thié hypocrisy was the crown- ing point 01 the wrong 1 smarted unden lhave not deserved this, 1 said bitterly; butyourduplicily is use- less. Morgan did not even at- lempt to hide his luve.
