The Prince had not yet risen.— He went to the door; it was unlocked.— He entered the royal chamber. It waa unoccupied, but an open letter lay upon the table.

" A fine building," said Albert, examining it with a critical air. " Gentlemen op Pennytown : I have b««ti most innocently the prominent darty in a hoax, and I now make my explanation.— Traveling with a bridal party and being weary of the charge of three old ladies, attached to said party, I deserted them to enjoy a week's shooting, thus violating a plan of my mother's who desired me to make love to one of the said old ladies, a widow with an immense fortune.

But my dress is not suituable for an evening reception, and I have not brought any baggage." A waltz being played by the young lady still at the piano, Albert put his arm around Bella and led off. After a few rounds, he stopped, as no one else joined in the amusement, but all stood gazing upon his movements. "Pray, Mr. Mason, form some quadrilles," he Baid, annoyed to find the homage he excited so very openly expressed. "Your wish is law," was the host's reply. And quadrilles were formed. A pretty little blonde, Miss Gray, was Albert's next choice for a partner ; but so overpowered was the young lady by th6 honor of dancing with him, that she was literally struck dumb; not a word but whispered monosyllables could he extract from her.

Dinner over, clean linen donned, and a pair of white kids purchased by the landlard, at his quest's and Mr. Mason's carriage was announced. f Arrived at the magistrate's house, AllDort found it a large stone mansion ; he luid "iily time to notice that the first and second floors wore one blaze of light, when the elderly gentleman who had welcomed him in the morning came out to repeat his welcome to his own house. First escorting him to the dressing room, he inquired anxiously if his ride had over-fatigued him. After dancing with each of the host's daughters and the prettiest girls in tho room, the lad went to the open window looking upon the garden, and stood there, heart ly tired of being a lion. His respite was a short one. Azelia cumc to his side ; holding out to him a folded paper, she said— There is no mistake that many a man gives out in lifo, where there is no apparent cause for it whatever. We see a person fade entirely out of both character and consideration, but where he went or how he went is a problem that nobody seems to know how to solve. It is called by some the dry rot disease, and is well named. A writer who has observod closely in these matters remarks that the first strong external revelation of the dry rot in men, is a tendency to lurk and lounge ; to be at street corners without intelligible reasons; to be going anywhere when met; to bo about many places, rather than at any ; to do nothing tangible, but to have an intention of performing a variety of intangible duties to-morrow or the day after. When this manifestation of the disease is observed, the observer will usually connect it with a vague impression onoe formed or reoeived, that the patient is living a little too hard. He will scarcely have had leisure to turn it over in his mind and form the terrible suspicion, dry rot, when ke will notice a change for the worse in the patient's appearance—a certain slovenliness and deterioration, which is not poverty, nor dirt, nor intoxication, nor ill-health, but simply dry rot. To this sncoeeds a smell as of strong waters, in the morning; to that, a stronger smell, as of strong liters, at all times ; to that, a looseness respecting everything; to that, a trembling of tho limbs, somnolency, misery, and crumbling to pieces. Dry rot advances at a compound usury quite incalculable. A plank is found infected with it, and the whole structure is devoted. Da.
