I consented, well pleated with this arrangement, and at five o'clock was seated in the staged the aide of my old friend, who bore as little resemblance to one ol your curled, perfumed, and moustached exquisite's—what he had once been—at could be imagined.

At least, I hare Fiorina's own declaration for this.', ,The last sentence was uttered with a smile. As we walked along, tho nearness of my meeting with Mri. Merwyn, turned my thoughts baok to other times. A beautiful girl was before me languidly redlining on a sofa, ovproom® by Jheext«;aot of some sweet herbs, the perfume of which had fallen harmoniously on the sense. A hot house plant, bow wa» it possible that she sould bear the cold, bracing atmosphere of lUoh a life as that she was now living ?— When I last saw her, she was but a lender manner flower, on whom the warm sun ihone daily, and into whose bosom tha light dews cqjno pgftly with refreshing h rough which we wete passing, glimpse of a womon's figure, on the second rail of a fence, and on the look-out for sent* one.— The intervening iteea soon hid her fiom my view. In a minute or so afterwards we emerged from the irees hut a abort distance from the woman I had seen, who whs looking in an other direction from that which we were coming. We were close upon her before she observed us.— Then the voice of Merwyn, who called "Florine 7" startled her, and sfce turned upon us her beautiftil young face, glowing with health, surprise and pleasure. I paused in astonishment. Was that the indtfhmt, languid city belle, who axtrittsoaree]y sh erstt evwi with the aid of etuhions, now, standing firm and straight on a rail fence, and looking more lovely and graceful than she ever had seemed lit mV eyes. She me in a moment, and springing from the-fail, came bounding toward me, fallto overflowing of life and spirits.
