The Quiet Round of Duty. aence from the object of his now frequent thoughts, and the power which imagination is erer sure to make use of in adoring our mind's idols in her brightest colors, were doing their work in the heart of Alfred Fitzallcn. She had attraeted his admiration by her beauty ; and slight as a ball room acquaintance is, it served to leave an interesting and pleasing impression upon his mind. This, aided by an already close correspondence, by which he observed traits of a delioate, loving and confiding character, was it any wonder that Alfred fancied her a faultless being, and was really in love 1 Immured within the close precincts of a college, with but few acquaintances in town, and wholly debarred from all female society, except the snatch he had of it at a chance ball, was it strange that Helttti should become the sole object of his thoughts, the morning star of memory ? And there was a high degree of mystery in the whole proceedings which served to give it a deep and absorbing interest.dream. At length he summoned courage to recur to their first meeting at Lady S——ball. She replied that she well remcmberod the ball, as it had been her first, but she did not recollect having had the pleasure of seeing him there. " But forgive me," she added hartily, and with a siuile, observing the shade that crossed his face—" you must forgive me, if I cannot exactly call to memory every partner that led me out at my first ball." This was said with so much frankneis and courtesy that it was impossible to doubt its sincerity. Alfred felt bewildered; something was wrong, and be could hardly tell what, in the confusion of his thoughts; but at all events, he came to the resolution of unravelling the mystery, cost what it might. The delicacy and awkwardness of his present situation was nothing to the intense pain that throbbed in his temples, and weighed down his whole being; and without further preamble, he frankly, though timidly, stated that he had been under tho impression, for many months, of having the honor and happiness of a correspondence with her. The lady eolored deeply, and astonishment was depicted on her countenance; and she asked in a haughty tone how could he suppose that the would I enter into a clandestine oorrespondenoe, j such as he described, with a perfect stran- I ger. Alfred answered her as best he could, and he gasped to hide himself from the sight of her who had been his dream by night and his thoughts by day. Ilolcn had lost none of her loveliness since ha list beheld her. The same stately step and graceful mien were there; the same earnest eyes and musical voice; but she was not the Helen his fancy had painted ' and he left the house under the sad and mournful impression that he had been deceived—how or by whom he knew not, he had been worshipping an imaginary being, and not the real Helen B . With rapid steps he hurried through the oity, the idol that had so long possessed hia heart thus suddenly shattered, it throbbed with a new and strange sensation of agony, and an acute sense of shame at having been betrayed into making such an avowal as he had made to Miss B . To seek comfort in the sympathy of Armand was his first thought, and entering his apartment he was mat by him with his usual happy countenance, but, observing the altered looks of Fitzalien, Armand started back.

BOWEN'S More than once in his epistles, he begged to be permitted to wait npon her, and to make the acquaintance of her family and friends; but this proposal was at all times postponed to a future day and latterly he forbore to urge it. Helen's letter revealed, as we before mentioned, a loving and confiding nature ; therefore ho fully trusted her. " She has her own reasons for not permitting me to call at her father's house at present," thought he ; but what happiness is in store." Ho trusted with a " fearless faith," and he was happy. His feelings had thus ripened into an attachment which had all the enobling effects that a pure attachment for an estimable woman is ever sure to produce. It made him shun everything that could degrade or lessen him in the eyes of her whoso image he carricd in his heart; it made him delight in communing with his own spirit and cultivating his fino mind ; and being destined to push his way through life by embracing a learned profession, he studied harder and more closely than heretofore, led on and cheered by words of kindness, interest, and affection that he had never known before ; and in short he came to feel that there was no difficulty he could not surmount in order to be thought worthy of the hand of Helen B . h.

It was a busy night in the metropolis of Ireland, tbat twentieth of June on which the Queen of England ascended the throne. Every window glittered with lights; and beautiful as gorgeous were the many colored lamps whioh decked the public buildings, and threw their varied hues over the city. Many a banquet was spread to celebrate the event; and many a ball room was filled with gay and brilliant guests, whilst bands of music pealed far and wide. It was on the night that amongst a dazzling crowd assembled at the residence of Lady S , in Square, the handsome daughter of a baronet attracted the admiration of the light hearted aud imaginative Fitzallen, then a student in College. Alfred was young and good looking, high spirited and ingenious; fresh from his mother's home, his mind was as pure and unsullied as it had been in childhood. His figure was tall and manly, and not wanting in grace ; and his whole deportment indicated that open and unsuspecting nature which is at once so pleasant and attractive, yet which, alas ! too frequently leads its possessor to become the dupe of the wily or the vicious. With Alfred, to think and to act wero almost simultaneous; and once attracted by the fair and stately Helen B , it took him but another moment to get an introduction, and demand her hand in the dance. Frequently during the evening he was by her side, and more than once he " led her through the glittering throng." The glow of a summer's morning was abroad ere the music had ceascd and the dance was done, and Alfred returned to his chamber in College amidst the raillery of his young companions, with whom he was an especial favorite who each and all declared that Fitzallen had positively lost his heart.

The air was fresh and balmy, and the sky bright and cloudless, as the two friends walked arm in arm towards Square, where the band of the regiment had attracted numbers of pedestrians. " Well, Armand," said Alfred as they cntcrod the square, " I have partly succeeded at lust in my wish to be permitted to visit Helen. Last week, I ventured to repeat the request; and in her reply she has made no opposition, which I take to be at least half a grant." " I am glad of it," was the reply ; " we •re—I—I am sure you are tired of it, and it is well to end it by seeing the girl." He turned abruptly away, ana joined some ladies, with whom he entered into an animated conversation. Fitzallcn was not less light hearted, less happy, or less capable of enjoyment than he had ever b?en; but his mind was engrossed by one object, which from its singleness, had taken a powerful hold upon it. Ho left Armand to his own diversions, and turned toward his lodgings, repeating the words of his friend : " Tired of it! end it!" Little does he know how dear has every word of Helen's become to me. Little he dreams how that fair and guileless being has won her way to my heart." mar residence, K i«t side of Main St Public Square, Wilkcs-Birrc, Venn.

" To say the truth, when we commenced the correspondence, we had no intention of carrying it on for any length, but we did not know how to put a stop to it j and when we all got thoroughly tired of it, we thought your visiting Helen was tho best way to end it, and therofore I recommended you to go. And here," continued he, opeuing a small desk and taking out a packet, " to convince you it was all amongst ourselves, here are your letters." Armand did not observe the fearful workings in the countenance of his friend during this speech; but as he turned to lay the packet ob the table, the words, " And it was you—yon—" broke from Fitzallen in a deep sepulchral voice ; and he fell heavily on the floor. Horror-stricken and terrified, Armand called loudly lor assistance. The room was quickly filled by the party of friends, who had been ou the watch to hear the result of his visit, and who had thus, for their own amusement, deceived a companion who was a favorite with them all.

That day of all dajs tho reader will excuse his bestowing more than ordinary care upon his toilet, and seldom had such care been so well repaid. In the afternoon he sallied forth in all the vigor of youth and strength. Hope and joy lit up his eye and flushed his cheek, as he bent his steps towards the haven of his wishes, thinking, as he proceeded, over the not unpleasing novelty of his position. Often he had taken the same direction with the hope of getting one glimpse of Helen, but always returned disappointed ; and now he was about to see her,—although without her decided permission, but still to see her at last, to converse with her, to hear from her lips the revealings of that mind which he had loarned to look np to as of a superior order. These thoughts occupied him until his arrival at the reside no« of Sir Francis Ji . His heart beat violently us his summons was answered by a footman, who instantly admitted him, ushered him i«to « spacious and elegant drawing room, which to his relief he found unocoupied. In a few moments tho door opened, and a lady entered, in whom he at once recognized Helen B . He advanced towards her but was cheoked by her dropping a low courtesy, and requesting him with a graceful and unembarrassed air to be seated. Sbe at onoo entered into conversation with him on the trifling occurrences of the day, with the ease and dignity of one aooustomed to do the honors of her father's house—whioh was the case, as she was the only child of Sir Franois. Somewhat puzzled and abashed by her manner, Alfred experienced a painful sinking of the heart. Was she a ooquette, thought he, that she would not reoognizo him'! Could he have been deceived ? Could this self-possessed and indifferent lady be the tender, kind and gentle Helen, whom fancy had so often painted, and whom ho had expected to see trembling and shrinking with a sweet bashfulness when brought into the actual presence of him who had so long been the sharer of b«r every thought T He felt like oae in a "OAUWAY XjINSI."

For an instant it crossed his wind that it was singular to be thus addressed by a lady almost a stranger, and one whose iamily and friends were altogether unacquainted with him, but this thought was momentary and soon drowned in the pleasure of being thus remembered by his gay and handsome partner of the last ball. The book was despatched, accompanied by an entreaty that • like honor and pleasure Might occasionally be granted him. It was not long until the favor was repeated; another and another billet came and was answered; and thus a regular correspondence sprang up, which shortly carried words of more than friendly import. The brief, bright hour upon which th«y met in Lady F '0 ball room waa recurred to and dwelt upon as the young and the ardent know how to dwell upon such topics; ami Alfred ceasftt to think of Helen B as a passing ac?|uaintance, and began to watch for each reah epistle with trembling interest.
