A XALE OF THE ALI-HAIIOW EVE.
I. "Tlieii I may eouut upon you, olil fel¬ low?"
" Of course you iii!>.y. I -will do a fi'ieuil's duty hi standing by you till the' last; and I hope you -will do me credit by making no edifying ending on the day you are turned oil'."
* * * " Philip, did you ever indulge in the ¦weakness of attempting to fore¬ cast your destiny iu rosiieet to niatriino- 113', on 'All-Hallow' Eve, by citing tho .salt egg, halving the .npplo, and so on? lso, of course you never did. But I— perhaps I had better begin at tlio begin¬ ning tliough, and in. duo form.
"While I was down iu last Oc¬ tober, I made some veiy iileasautcliaiice acquaintances -with whom I spent near¬ ly all my timo, only returning at night to the rooms I had near BIythe. I di¬ nned with the Blairs on the last day of October, .ind wc were very meri-y round the firo after dinner, burning nuts, and telling our fortunes from them. This led to ttilking abont the charms for dis¬ covering your future husband or wife proimr to the day, and to my laying a wager with mystical Nelle Blair that I would go through auy ono of tho cere¬ monies slie liked to aiipoint tliat night, and relate the result to her the next morning. Tliu bet was my .Scotch grey hound Bran against a little scarlet rib¬ bon Mi.s-t Xell3'wore in bcr liair: that i ivould return to my rooms tliat nigbt; at twelve o'eI(ii.-k, .set out the mystical sn])]ier, oiieii tbe-'dodr, and await the s])eeli-al guest for (iiie hour.
Tlie gills miiiulely detailed all the ceremdiiies proper lo tlie oeetisioii, and they snundc-d umusiiiig enough, iu tho lighted (Uning-rooni, with many faces and plenty of jokes and luiighler around ^ (lite ; Imt let me ti-II yoii, riiili]), the tis- pect of thhigs was .slightly difrercnt wben T walked to my solitary (piarters at the old rambling Iionse w-liere I was localed-for the lime being, shortly be¬ fore twelve o'eloek niidiiiglit. As far as I knew, my landlady and a maid¬ servant or lwo were the only other oe- eupaiils of the house; and as my habils were an.vthiiig but regular I was accom¬ modated with :t key wherewith to let myself in at nii.v hour without di-stiirb- ing tbe hoii.sebold.
As I ]iarted Avith Jem Blair at the door, and walked into tbe tpiiet house, whieh bad Unit kind of hush upon it that one always notices on entering a house when every one is in bed tmd asleej), I thought of my ivager with something like distaste for thetirsttime. I took the light that was left burning for me, liowcvcr, and went up to my solitary silting-rijoin.    A slight supper was .set out for mc as usual, but the lire hnd burned down to a mere heapof dull red ashes, tmd the low-pitched, heavily furnished old room looked very glULstly and weird somehow,  in the great tlood of moonlight tlmt poured in tlirough the -window.   1 tlmught then, and I've thought since, that I never s.aw moon light so bright as il was that niglit. . By some chance, too, there was only one c.mdle on thu table;  and when I had lighted that, it left .su much of the room in deep shadow, that I pulled up the blind to let in all tbe light I eonld get from without, not feeling inclined, under the circumstances, to pass au hour iu semi-darkness, though the conibiua-1 tion of vivid moonbeams and the dim eandlelight made ui) some very odd and <iueer eflects.   I tried to stir up the fire into something like life, but it vvas too far gone, so I Itad nothing for it but to resign m.vself to perform tho appointed ctrcmonies, though I felt less and less inclination for them every minute.— Once, for an instant, I had even some tliought of forfeiting the stakes, may Eran forgive me! but I could not have stood the inextinguishablelaughterand triumph of the Blair girls over my lapse of courage;  so I went up to the table, set out tUe plates, placed chairs before them, sal down in oue, aud helxied mj-- self to so-jiething on the table.    But I felt a deciilnd reluctance to commenee eating, or to look towards tho  open door, tlirough which, according to tra¬ dition, the future partner of my life something in her image at least, ought now to come gUdinj,  to occupy the empty chair opposite to mine. I poured out a glass of sherrj-, but I hud not touched it, when-I thought to myself that a cigar would be a consolation.
"I -wonder whether the lady objects to smoking," I said to myself as I look¬ ed round the room for my cigar-box; "but, however, as my future wife, the sooner she reconciles herself to the in¬ evitable the better. Where the deuce are myHavannas? Ah! I remember taking  them into  tho bod-room  this
morning."
"My bedroom opening out of the sit¬ ting-room, r walked into it without re¬ moving the candlefrom the table, know¬ ing that I eould put my hand upon the cigars immediately. The bed was a huge foreposter, occupying the largest half of tho room, and I was carefully coasting round it on my return, ivith the cigar box in my hand, when, as I camo to the point that commanded a view of tho other room, I beheld com¬ ing (juietly and shiwly in through the open door, tho figure of a female—a la¬ dy—a j'ouug lady—whoso faco was per¬ fectly unknown to me.
"Ifow, Philip, lam not ashamed to say that the queerest and most uncomforta¬ ble sensation I ever had in my life went creeping through all my veins as I look¬ ed. I couldn't move. I stood stock still, staring at the thing, the spectre, llio illusion, or whatever it was, as it glided up to the table, stood an instant, with a kind of quiet expectant look on its face, whieh I OiUi recall distinctly even now, tmd then sitting down, de¬ liberately helped itself to something on llie table, fruit I tliiii1f,-alid''cither ate or seemed to."
"But,'?fiaid Philip, "did nopo&sibili- t.v of som^trick occur to you, man?"
" Kot then, I am bound to say. I was so completely takon aback, lloored, by the aiiparent success of the spell or charm I had iiractised. And though I have thought tho whole over often cntuigli since, 1.1111 obliged to como to the conclu.sion that no trick on theiiart ofthe Blairs could possibl^^ havo been played nie. I don't know whether the figure sat' at the table fivo minutes or teu—all notion ot tiiiie left me; but at auy rate, hefore I could summon up courage to move, it roso from tlie tabic, walked to the firephice, jiaused theie a moment, then glided down the long tiiick of moonlight ou tho flooi','out by (bo open door, and so vanished."
"And you never hit upon anyexiila- nation of the mystery?"
"No; but as soon ns tho presence, or ¦whatovor it may bo called, was fairly away, tho spell that hold 1110 vanished too. I diLshcd btiek into the sitting room and out of tho door to see, if I could, what had becomo of it; but eve¬ rythiug was quiot, and not a thing stirred in the pa-ssago, or 011 the staira outside. I can't say I had a very com¬ fortable night, but I slept lato into the next morning, and while at breakfa-st I took an ojiportunity of asking the girl ¦who waited on mo whether there were luj- lodgers in tho house besides myself.
"'Xo,' sho said; 'there had been a gentleman, an artist body, she believed, but ho had left that morning.'. •
" ' What kind of person was he; what like in looks, I mean?'
¦ 'A tall gentleman, tall and stout, with a beard.'
"Anj- idea that thero might have beeu some masquerading on this gentle¬ man's part for my benetlt, vanished. Tho figure I saw was m slender as a willow wand; it had a delicate-featured face, and if one could approiiriately de¬ scribe a ghost as pretty, I sliould -say this ono Wiis decidedly so."
" Vory queer, certainly,", quoth Pliiliii, meditatively; "and j-ou havo iiever seen any one sinco that agreed with your remembrance of tho—iho—what¬ ever it was?"
"jSTever, though I daro siiy you will understand that the idea that I may do so at any thne gives me a weird kind of interest in all assemblages ofthe women folk. I feel sometimes quite like a me- dia!val hero on a quest. I am in search ofmy other half, tho tn-in soul appoint¬ ed to mo from the—'the abyss of ages' will do, I think. Xo: but rcilly, Phil¬ ip, you have no idea of the patience and the amount of interest with whieh I wailisd and manoeuvred to get sight of a girl's face ono day at the Royal Acade¬ my this year. Slie was standing before Fi-illi'spi(-ture,'butfiveor six deep ofT it, waiting a chance to cut in. There was a man with her, talking aud doing the agreeable; and something in the po.io of iier head, I think, aa she stood listeuing, reminded mo of tho figure I .saw that night, and its half pensivo at¬ titude at the table.
"I dure .say I stood behind hor for twenty minutes, biding my time, oyery minute adding to my conviction that I should see the faco I remembered so vividly, when I succeeded in seeing it all, aud beginuing to feel a very odd sense of property in tho young lady and a strong desiro to hu(l' the fellow who was infringing eo palpablj- on my right.-!; when Io! a sudden swerve of my right hand neighbor enabled me to move forward, and theu I saw a face worth waiting to see, indeed, jbut not the one I waited for. I am afraid a good deal of the eagerness I had worked my¬ self up into was in my faco when I turned to look at hers; she evidently thouglit me an awful cad, for hor eyes glanced ufl'me with the prettiest look of contempt jiossible, and she drew a little closer lo her eom])aniou. There, Philip, yuu bave my .story—a story without an ending. The usual drawback to true stories: they mnnago things better in books."
The change from the dark autumn evening without to tho lightand warmth of the drawing room at Huntl.inds was pleasant enough, asPliilip Thorntonaud I entered it fivo minutes beforo the din¬ ner liour. The Villiers peoplo (Marj- Villiers was to be transposed into Jlrs. Thornton three days from this) were all strange to me, but as Philip's frionil and "best man" on the approacliuig inter¬ esting occasion, I was receiving a great deal of flattering attention from the ge¬ nial mere defcunillc, aud being iutro- duceil on all sides to the numerous visi¬ tors gathered together for tho wedding, when Philip, whom I had lost siglit of since he had piloted mo up to Mrs. Vil¬ liers, caught mo by the sleeve.
" Here, Guy, come this way a minute. I waut tu introduce you to Mary."
" With all the pleasure in life. I'm inipationt for tho honor myself, and have been trying if my Instinct could not single her out from all this crowd of pleasant-looking gii-ls. Do you know I half fancied that one yonder; no—she has moved—look, this way, Philip- why! heavens and earth! who is that?" I stopped short in our progress through the room as the words left my lips, the crowd of faces seemed to niclt away and leave only one to my siglit: tbat one I had seen but once before, that I had noverforgotten, andshould havo known anywhere. "Who l3 whof" said Philip, impa-
ers, birds of paradise, or whatever itis?" "Xo—no—no! the girl be.side the pi¬ ano, with thebrown hair hanging loose.' Why, tlmt," said Philip, staving in his turn, "thatjs Mary; do you know her, Guy ? God bless my soul! you don't moan to say"—lie stopped short^- a deep red glow flushing his fair, hand¬ some face.
Yes, I did mean it, but I had not tlie heart to say so when I caught th.it look. ".Some extraordinary resemblance there certaiuly i.s," I forced myself into saying; "but of course it cannot be what I fancied for the moment. I beg your pardon with all my heart, my dear old fellow; pray introduce me at onee to Miss Villiers: see, she is looking to¬ wards us; slie will think it odd."
But after this contretemps, tiie intro-. duction, my bow, m.-y-address w.is all a failuro together. Howeould it be other- wisointlced? How would you feel, I should like to kuow, if introduced iuto ;i crowded drawing-room to ayoung lady with whom you fii-mly believed your¬ self to have hnd a previous interview of tho nature of the one I have described ? Do you think your bow would beuuim- pea'chable, your smile and manner per¬ fectly eas.y and pleasant? I know mine was not; aud felt morally convinced that I bad made anything hut the plc.l.s- ing impression I wuuld fain have ilnne on the lady who was to be m.y friend's wife..
How could I iielp easting furtii-e and stolen glitlices at the face whieii every moment seemed to identify itself more closely with that oue indelibl.y imprint¬ ed ou my faucy, nud being tiwkwardly caught in the same? How could I fail of giving, stuiiid and incmiseiiuent re¬ plies to the dutiful atlenipts at talk made by Miss Villiers to Philip's friend, whilo my thoughts were wandering back tu All-Hallnw Eve—tho solitary ruom at mid-night, the weird repast, and the ghostly visitant ?
And tlien, by wtiy of doing me honor, tho bride elect wa.s cunsigiied to m.y eare wheu we went down to dinner. Iglniic- ed,down at the little white glove l.yiiig on my arm; its touch was scarce heavi¬ er than a snow ilake. Did it hold a hand of fie.sh and blood? Was this white, gliding figure at my side theactual suli- .staneeof the shadow that came to thu ghostly supper? Was there .something, after all, iu charms, and spells? ifso, then—gracious powers! why, then this betrothed of Philip's tit my side was not his, Iiut mine! Or was I^lestiiied tu msirry my friend's widow ?
I shall never forget that dinner nor my spjismodic attempts to talk eiisil.y of pleasant trifles and everyday things, while mj- mind was wildly revolving questiens and possibilities like llie.se.— Everything—even thatsulistmitial iian- quet—acquired, so to speak, an uni'eal aud ghostly flavor, just so ul'ten as 1 turned and saw Jliss Villiers sitting be¬ side me. .She was very sileiu, too, fur her neighbor ou the other side was ut- terlj-absurlie(l in his plate, and .1 could not wonder that after a while she did notseem tofind m.y remarlcs worth re¬ plying to. I remember that 1 made one endeavor to unite my thoughts and m.y words, by a.sking Mi.ss Villiers if she had been at Bl.vtho last October?
"X'o," she answered, "Iwas at Pan last autumn, with my aunt." , I am sure I don't know why I asked the questimi; the an.swer cpuld scarcely have aflected the matter eilher one wa.y or another. If Jfiss Villiers had even been in bodily luesence at BIythe, I could not.suppo.se that .she would have honored an unknown gentleman at mid¬ night with her untislieilpresenceatsup- per in his private tipartmeuts; and if it was in spiritual guise that site eame aud sat down at the mystic repast, what did the whcrealiuuts of her body signify? In the next room, at Pau, at .Terichu, it was .ill one.
To add to my diseoinfittirtf, Pliilip was Bitting opijosite to us at table, and amid all the confusion ofmy thoughts I could uot but be sensible that lie eyed mcnow and then with a queer expression on his face and a sombre light in his blue eyes. AVhen the ladies left the tiUile I could uot help watcliing Jliss Villiei'.s muve away with them: that graceful, gliding motion was, alas! only another link added to the chain of my reniemhiiince (the ghost had precisel.y the same walk), though I felt that Philip's e.vc M'a.s, .is tho song .say.s, "upon mo." «
During the course of the evcniii,g, in the drawing ruom, he sauntered up to me.
" Htiwksley," said he, with a by no means pleasant smile and manner, " Mai-y has been compliiiuing of you; she says you do nothin.g liut stare and ask questions." .'
That I was ahsurdl.y indignant at tbis accusation was, I apprehend; owing lo the disturbed stato ofmy miiiil; that is! all the excuse I have foranswcrin.g pet-' ulantly:
" If she does not like mc now, it may be on the cards that she will change her mind some dtiy."
" What do you mean ?" asked miilip, with that dark-red flush ominous^- vis¬ ible on his face ouce more.
"Who can resist fate?" I ausweied, turning away.
"Hawksley, I will know what .you imply, said Philip, seizing my arm ve¬ hemently ; " do you hold to tiie prepos¬ terous ideti that it was Mary who came to yourrooni that night? Yes, I see that you dare to do so, in your face!"
My senses w-cre coming back.to mc by tills time. I was not going to quarrel with Philip for any woman, phantom or otherwise.    .
"JWy dear fellow, dou't I know that Miss Villiers was in France at the very time you are talking of?"
" In France! what does that matter if—" Ho stopped short. " Guy,-" he went on in a minute, almost implor¬ ingly, " you must be mistaken—the-^ tiling that came to you uever could have worn Mary's likeness."    ,  -
How could I answer? I tried to laugh otr any uece-ssity fur answering; but with a moody ejaculation Philip 'strode angrily away, and during the rest oftlie evening palpably avoided siieaking to me. Then I tried to mend my fortune with Miss Villiers, and got openly snub¬ bed for my iiains; the lady pouted her scarlet lip and turned her white shoulder on mo with so charming au expression of disdain, thatonce moro.1 burned with a vengeful desire to make her cliauge her mind and her beliavior.
And so tho evening came to an end somehow. The ladies retired, Philip tlisappeared also; but I sat far into the Ilight in the, smoking-room with one or two other lato men, endeavoring to re¬ concile things over the midniglit tobac¬ co. Xor did I bestir myself i-cry much betimes in the morning so that the party had plenty of time to disperse on tlieir several ways by the time I had dawdled away an hour over my breakfast, lettew, and the morning papers.   The drawing
did, she hesitated a moment, colored a littlo, and then bowed and smiled verj' sweetly. How pretty she looked with the crisp waves oif her brown hair all bloivn about her shoulders by the fresh morning wind! niuch prettier in her simple morniug (ire.ss, with the two or three glowing autumn flowers at its bosom, than eveiilhad thought her last nigiit. She .said something about everj- oiie being out, and her wanting a btiok, whieii I of coiii-se volunteered to find, aud whieh, wheji found, somehow de¬ lightfully oiieued the waj- to talk.
Wlio shall limit the caiiriccs of a lad.y ? Xot a trace remained this moming of the evident distaste Miss Villiers had sliown hist night to my unlucky self. If my picsumption at her had been a cause of oftence then, i i did uot seem to be one this morning; and j-et I'll swear that I did not sin less in that particiUar on this occasion, for how eould I help looking at whatWas so verj' pleasantto behold? Fiir be it from me to sing in the churlish words of the old]song, "If she bo nbt fair for me, what care I how fair she be'?" Xo; rather with the iiious Turk I bow my head, uud "tliaui: Alltih for beautiful women!"
Fair for me! L-Vh! I did not dare let nij-thoughts run in that direction. I steadfiLstlj- did my best to keep the ghost at baj-, anol bj- tho hiilp of Miss Villiers' reallj- charming conversational gifts, succeeded better thau, from my j-esterdaj'-'s expo rienee, I should have
dared to hope, hienibrance had fleetly and del

" Xn, thank j-ou—I'm sorrj-—T should like," stammereii I, confused, recalling Philip's demcaimr of the previous ni.ght aud tliinking it might be as well nut to aiipear on suddenlj' frieiidh- terms with Miss Villiei's, considering all things.— And .yet—how I diuuld luive liked that drive thrungh ilie giirgeuus autumn wuods, bright wi M the suleniii gloi-.y of the dj-iiig .yciii-, and irith—\i-cll—^.yes, with as jii-ett.y :ti d pleasant 11 (-oniiian- iuii as Mi.ss Mary Villiers.
Instead of wl icb, I toolc a solitarj- strull ill the (puiiiit, oId-f:uihioned gi'oiinds thtit suri'uunded the house; ltnd bonding my wteps humcwai'd in the dim gluatniug, I iiinuugcd to utterly lose in.y.self in a lab.yriiith uf winding walks, fen(-eil in wiih magnilicent hull.y hedg¬ es, tbat rose far above nij- head. The air was very soft and still; the I'ltst tliiniiing leaves on tlie trees stood out ti'iin.spareiitl.y diirk against the pale green of the .sky, where one star wtis shining just aliove the orange streak on the horizon; and as I involuntarily .stood still tu luuk uu this calm beautj', there bruke a syund into the stillness that marred it all iu a minute.
"I du believe I it is tdl owing tn that aliomiiiablo isrrj Hawksley," said an in¬ dignant voice—a feminine voice—a vei-j' sweet um;—Jliss Villiers' voice, in fact.

ijid at' last inaile nij' waj- out of the coii- fuunded placq, hurt, indignant, and j'ct eou.sciou.s-sti'icicen, too; for of course I knew thiit if Philip's conduct to his be¬ trothed had been otherwise than it should have been that daj-, in all proba- bilitj- m.Y unhickj' commuiiicaliuii had been at the bottom of it.
Oh! tliat evil hour in which I had raslilj- engageil in unhallowed doings, out ofvanitj-aud'brav.ido! And what was tu be lhe end of it all ? Alreadj- it had nearly l(Bt mo my friend ; perhaps it may lose my friend his bride, and cer¬ tainly it had iW-gun to set my thoughts waiulering after a woman, wiiom honor iuiil coiiseieneo forbade me lo think of, though all the .spells ever practised had showed her tti mc as mine.

" I'm very sorry," said I, with a fee¬ ble idea of apologizing; " I'm coming this moment, but tell me.who that is, first."

"Why, Mary, j-ou shame us all by j-our punctuklity; and j-'ou,-\vlio ha-i-e every right fo be lazy, too!" she said. " Do J-ou knbw Mr. Hawkslej', or is an introduction iiccessaiy?"

" Ah! thereby hangs a tale; I think I must tell it[j-ou; for it would be odd enougli ifyou should turn out to be my  1 mcanj" she said, correcting her¬ self precipitately, " the Guy Hawksley." She looked so wonderfully bewitch¬ ing as .she spoke, coloring and smiling the while, ithat I scarce knew what I felt, or wliab I should have said the next moment, when a whole flock of people poured inU> the room, Philip among them, looking very sad and sour.
He was cpmiug towards Miss Villiers, I think, biiit-stopped short and turned
away when he saw me.   Miss Villiei-j glanced up at me smiling.
" Is Mr. Thornton always like that, or must we suppose him just now op¬ pressed by weight of happiness ?" " You horrid little hypocrite!" thought I, with another of those fiereerev-ulsious of feeling I seemed doomed to feel to¬ wards this creature.
"Because," she went on, "IIiSiib ob-'' served nothing but' cloudy looks and curt answers from him to-daj-; aud X

" To that abominable Mr. Hawksley," I .said, with a bow towards her.
" To J-ou ? oh dear, no !"said tho sweet little storj'-teller, withauiurofthomost uaive suriiriso in the world.
" Miss Villiers, I was in the labyrinth an houv_.igo," said I, gravely.
"Were J'OU? dear me! I was there too about that time, aud I never saw you," she-Answered, quite, unabaslied. ."It would uot bo a vers' safe place to toll se^ cretsin."
" Xor to exjiress one's opinion of one's actiuaintaiico, madam."
She looked at me for au instant,.and then burst iuto a merrj-laugh.
" One would think j'ou had heard a very unfavorable one of j'tiureclf, by your loiiksl Mr. Haw-kslej-."
" Well,'I will own that to be so em- ifliatically declared a 'detestable crea¬ ture'and d ' horrid man' bj-the Itiilj' who is to stand iu so close a i-elii;tion to my oldest friend," _I__began, and then broko off, jiuzzled at the iiiejiuiiiont in the bright ej'cs of the lailj-1 meant to abash.

" Y''cs; for I suppose j-ou are speiiking of mj- cousin, Jfarj' Villiei-s, are j-uu not?''     -      ,

I'he une Jlarj- made me a stiff little liow; the other luuked at me, .smiling and blushing. What jiii idiut I had been ! In spite ofa similitude of height, figure, complexion, and even features, I tliought tho two as unliko now; us one, at least in 111 j- ej'es, was a thousand fold the must charming. I was not troubled b.y any doubts as tu whether this little hand, that I man.iged to gut hold uf (luring a proiiitious niomunt on tho staircase as we went down to diiiuor, WIUS veritable Jlcsli and blood. It thrilled in mine with a warm, living touch. I held it closely, as I claimed tliopromi-se of her stoi-.y.
" Please dmi't," said the sweet voice, imploriiigjj-; " I mean don't quite ruin nij- new glove. I will tell j-oii the story verj-williugl.y; but I don't think j-ou will prove Hawksle.y, tho hero of it.— There—there—the stoi-j- has no hero, to speak of. Tuu must kiiow| then, JIv.

Then I took a sudden fancj' tu .gu with him; luid telling the old ladj' of the house not to sit up, for that I could find m.y room quite well, wc went out, and strolled iiliout the ruins lill near midnight, I dou't believe Alfred woultl hiive gone hack then but for me. And when we reached the house, he left me in tlirough a side-door that Wiis loft open for bim, aud said that ho would walk up tuid down till he had finished his cigar, luid thntwouldnottiikehimmany min¬ utes. . I went in tilone, threw down mj- liat and sliawl iu tho hall, and -walked up- staii-s into Alfred's room, wheu I saw the door open, .a light burning, and supper laid. I sat down and waited a few minutes for nij- brother; but as ho dill not cume, and I w.is getting very .sleepj-, I ate .some of tho fruit, and then got up with the intention of going lo bed. As I did so, it suddenlj- occurred to me thiit I had not noticed a queer old china image ou the ehimnej--i)icce iu my brother's room, which was certainlj- on this oue. I went uii to the fireplace, and there saw a bracket full of letters, all with one name on theni, "Guy Hawksley, Esq." This made mo look around me more attentivelj-; and then I became suddenlj-alive to the fact, tlnit I was in the wrong room!—that I had mistaken another for my brother's!— Y'ou may think with what haste I re¬ treated, and how I congratulated mj-- sclf ou nij- good furtune iu not being caught in nij- iuvuluntaij- iutrusinn.
"Alfred laughed heartily the next morning wheu I told him of my adven¬ ture, and sail! that he believed theio was a Jlr.

Jliss Villiers blushed up rosily, aud the look in her bright e.yes was as pret¬ ty a thing .IS a man need wish to see.
"All-Hallow Eve, was it?" she began, and then stopped short; nor did I pur¬ sue tho subject just then. But I went aud Atcvi mj' cliiiir elose beside Philip's, as the ladies left the table, and made confession of my uuluekj- blunder be¬ tween tho two JIary's.

"That's a matter of taste," said I, shortly; "and a lover's opinion, may not, e.-ccuse me, be thought quite	
"There, don't let us be a couple of fciols," interrupted Philip. "For my part, I'll own that I haven't taken quite Icindlj' to the idea of an early grave, so that J'OU might mavry my widow; or to my friend's running away with my sweetheart, but now that's all dono away with, why, here's to our old fel¬ lowship, Guy, and the lady who supped with you on All-Hallow Eve, for I see the charm foretold the event." Asl am happy to say, it did; and my wife anil I make it our practice to hold a festival yearly on the last day of October, in memory of that Eve of All-Hallow that opened our acquaintance.—Zondon So- ciety.
The circumstance whieh I am about to relate occurred full fifty j-eai-s ago, but rises before me as freshly and viv- idlj- as then. Jlost of those -who knew of it, and sbe who was the most eoncern¬ ed in it, are now in their silent graves; but the descendants of some maj- recog¬ nize the story which startled our small circle so long ago.
AVhen, after th(5 iieace of '14 w.is con¬ cluded, tho Continent was once more opened to us, every ouo who remembers it knows how glad we EugUsh' availed ourselves of it to leavo our island homo, and seek, somo health, otheis jileasure in the comjilete change of scene and life. My husband and I shared the al¬ most; universal '• fittoro " and- went to France. There, however, our waiidor- higa ceased for ii time, for when wo- ar¬ rived at tho picturesque old town of D., we were iigrecibly surprised to find some old friends there. Soon after other.-; ar¬ rived, and wo yielded to their wishes that we should remain..
In those daj's the English drew eli ise! j- to each other. Xow, when abroad, you must iie careful of makiiig acquainiiui- ces till you know j-oureompatriot's!'mo- tiyes" for.absentuig lii:u.=;elf.from his native land. Our cuterio, be<;jinie inti¬ mate frieuds.
Our hou-se was in a,central situation as regarded those of our friends; though it was in the tu'wn, it had a small gar- deiiiljefurelt, anda griivelle'il iiatli led to tho haU door.   ¦
Jiy hiisliiuid was fond of societj-; I am still, I must own, though too old to cu¬ ter into its spiritasformerlj'. Our house was aiways oiicu to our friends, but we were especial Ij- glad tu see them of au evening; then musicand the whist t.ible whilediiwaj-thehoui-s till haIf-i>a.stnino, when tho suppor-tr.ij' iippeared, and at ten o'clock our last guest departed.— Tlio.se wereprimative times! Ofall our acqu-cUntances thu person I was most drawn to was aJIrs. Xorvis, a very pi'Ot- tj- j-oung woman, light-liearted, a-ad al- waj-s cheerful. All the most severe critic could blame tier fur \ytvs, perhaps, an exti'omo Inve of iunusoment. Shu was ni.y constant guest. Her husband Wits in the arnij-, and, at the time I .speak of, was iiuartored in Ireland.— Jli'.s. Xovris was anxious to give her four cliildren a better education than their limitedmeans could iii'ucui'eiiiEngliind. CapUiin Xorris had oulj-just left D. to join ills regiment, and iiart expressed his wish that I wouUl" look after " liis wife and assist her -with iulvice, nr in an.v waj- that might be iiecessar.y.
Ofall tiie Xorvis chiidreii Louisa was her father's favnritu, but her mutlier til- most disliked her apparuntlj-, ifonocair use tho word dislike to describe a moth¬ er's harshness to hor child. I used, to think Jlrs. Xorris was severe to Louisa liecau-se she feared her being .spoiled by hev father's indulgence. I afterwards found that the motliev's harshness caus¬ ed the fiithev's favov. IfOiie evening our sniall circle bad as¬ sembled as usual at mj- house, and dis¬ persed abuut teu o'cloclc, Jlrs. Xorris being tho first to leave. AVhen m.y hus¬ band and I were alono, wo chatted over the little incidents aud go.-islps of the evening. At hist I took mj-candle and went'to ni.j' room, a front one. I had un¬ dressed, when I heard a noise at the ¦syinddw like hail rattling against it.— Knowing tlitit tlie night had been verj- fine, I drew back tho curtain in surprise, and .s-.iw Mrs. Xorris standing on the path.
The servants had loug gone to bed, so I hurricdl.y threw in.j- dressing wrapper round me, and ran dowu stairs.
AVhen I had upened the hall dour, bo foru I had time to iisk 11 iiuestion, Jlrs. Xurris exclaimed,
" Oh! I fear something dreadful has happened to Charles!"
"AVhj- do ynu think sn?" I said.— "llttve J'OU heard anything of him'?"
" Xo," slie answered, " I luivu not lieavd of or from him latelj-; j'ct as j-ou know, I W.IS nnt uneasy iibouthim, and Wiis quite happj' and elieerl'ul with j-oii this evening. Ilcft j-ou earlj- to go-to nij- ehiltlren; thej' wero all asleep; I wenttu bed dircOtl.j', but in about ten minutes after, bj- the light of the night lamp, I S.1W my husband standing bj- ni.y lietlsido; be had a fearful gash in his tliroat, from which the blood -was pouving. He spoke lo me and said, ' Fave-well, bu kind to poor Luu.' Iu a momeut hedis:ip])eared. AVhen I oould collect inj'thoughts, Idi-cssed,aiid came to J'OU, nij' dear fi-icnd, to tell .vou I fear something dreadful h.is liapiienoil to m.y hu.sband, and I must go to him.— AVill J'OU luuk after nij- children till nij' return?"
Travelling in those dti.ys was-ii mast dis.igrccableiu-oeess; theslo\yness-, cold dirt, and miserj- of sailing vessels and coaches, made people generalIj- refiect a good deal beforo thej- undertooka jour- uej-, unless tho.y could ail'ord to travel fast. I therefore tried to persuade Jfrs. Xorris that sho onlj- dreamed ofher hus¬ band.
She replied, " I had not eveu closed mj' ej'es, aud Isaw him as plaiiil.>' as I do you." °
Then I tried to pcrsude her tu wait for the arrival of tho next mail fi-uui England.
" Xo," she said, " ho nii.ght bo dj-iug even while wo aro standing cunsultiug together"
I asked -what she thouglit niostlikel.y lo have befallen him.
" He might bu fatallj- wuunded, if not killed in a duel."
Tbosu weve the daj-s w-lieu dueling WiLs in ils prime; when, if a man fan¬ cied tl word ur juke touched his honor, he felt it incumbent on liini lo call out the ulieiider, thungli he were his best fi'ieud, and endeavur to wash uii'' the stain in his blood.
I saw it -was usele.-« trj-ingtn dissuade Jtvs.Xovvis, so I now liuvriedlj- dvessed, and helped her preiiaratiuns fur depar¬ ture, pvomisiiig lo be a mother lo hor children iu her absence.
She travelled post-haste to the nearest liust, Iheuce sailed to En.glaiid, and pvo- cecdud immediateh- to her husband's quarters In Ireland.
She was the onlj' inside passenger li.y tho coach, imd, to beguile her sad thoughts, bought a newspaper at the first town -where thej' stopiied to cluuige horses. At the next sloppago the guard found my poor frienil scuseless.
She had found iu tho newsxiaper an account ofthe death of Caiitaiii Xorris, by suicide, at the verj- moment she luul seen his appavition.
AVhen Jlrs. Xorris returned to her children, and had, in S()inc degree, re¬ covered from thisawfulshock, she spoke with calmness of what she called her " last interview " with her husband. I remarked, that even if she had dream¬ ed it, it would have beeu more extraor¬ dinary ; she wna firm in asserting she had not closed her eyes, aud but just ex¬ tinguished her candle. So I said uo moro: but other friends were pertuia- cious in insisting his presence could not havp been a realitj-.
Her answer wns, invariably, "Isaw him as plainly as I see you."

"Please take me up in j-our anns, pa¬ pa," said Alice, a Uttle girl whose ex¬ quisite beauty attracted the attention of the passers by, and ofteu elicited some remark which the childish ears were swift to hear, as she ching lo hev father's hand, while ho iintiently adapted his jWalk to tho stov j>rogreas of tho "little, short steps" of his pot, of four yeara old! " Papa is tired, darling," ho iinswered alfectionatelj', "so tired, tliat ho cmnui carrj' his littlo daughter any farther to¬ day.

" But I wont," he replied, much amu¬ sed.

The father's afleetion ovevcamo his wisdom, and the spoiled darling w.is lifted into his arnis, held eloselj' tu his heart, aud nddves-sed bj- a thousand en- deaving eiiitlieLs.
