The morning had been cold and wet. but as the

sand glories amid the dripping grass blades, and

few low, deep, trembling sobs succeeded, and

The confused tread of many steps followed--the

deep solenlnity rested upon the crcling crowd

Latremblaye at length said, but with some hesita-

introduced me to your acquaintance
Whatever satisfaction you feel, sir you must de-
rive from conviction of merit. The zeal you have

second silence ensued as long as the first. La
tremblaye at length took desperate resolution
Il know not that am doing right but cannot
conceal what feel-you know it as we'll as do
Eugenla could by word have relieved his en-
ba1Tassment but in such circumstances the female
bosom, however humane, never carries its hulnani-
ty SO far, and when arrived at that point, women
force us to tell them what they know already so
that the poor young man confessed he loved her.
Eugenla had propriety enough to keep Just me-
dunn between the offended air which only would
have suited prude, and that satisfied manner which
Ill accord with the modesty of her sex. The con-
versatlon changed; but it became animated lively;
relieved from BURDEN it proceeded with lightness,
grace, and ease. Questions were asked and answer
ed without hesitation; each communicated their
pursuits, their modes Of thinking and speaking on
different subjects with such confidence that they
did not perceive they had been waiting for three
quarters of an hour
Latremblaye at length noticed the non-arrival-

She will not come at all, replied Eugena
Latremblaye, in utter astonishment, looked at
Eugenia, whose eyes answered only by an express
sion OF languor mixed with smile, which produced
together an inexpressble grace
would you, said Eugena, 'be very, very angry
with me, if, by chance, there should be no truth in
the history of my unfortunate lady if all this was
but proof means of pointing out to my heart a

Il scarcely dare ask you, said Eugenia.
'Why not l should have offered to do it, if
had not been afraid of doing it i'll. Besides, am g

Eugena retired moment, and returned with her
father She requested hnn to ask Latremblaye to
dinner, III order that he might be furnished with the
details of the business in question. The old gentle
man entreated the young to fix day, which,
after mutual compliments, he did.
Laytremblaye came at the appointed time the
dinner was gay, and the conversation lively every
subject was introduced, except the which had
been the occasion of the dinner Latremblaye tho't
Eugenia charming. She was we'll informed, and had
vlvacty and wit After dinner she introduced the
affair OF the unfortunate lady. Latrembaye heard
her with attention, and promised to draw up the
memorial iii two days. He performed his promise,
and succeeded perfectly well energy, clearness,
and precision nothing was wanting. Eugenia read
it with marks of the highest satisfaction
There is strength, sensbllity, sir, in the STYLE
which render it impossible for the minister not to
yield to your reasoning and were l in the minis
ter's place, you should certainly not experience
refusal
Nor this all, Sir must give your memorial
new degree of eloquence it must be presented
by the person herself who is supposed to have writ
ten 1t. The gesture, voice. and look of the person
interested will add to the impression it ought to pro-
duce. Attempt to procure rendezvous, in order
that the lady may deliver it herself to the minister
After weeks eXertons, Latremblave came one
evening to Eugenia with triumphant air & have
procured an interview for tomorrow ; give YOUR
friend notice, and with this paper all doors will be
open to her.
What gratitude do not owe you You will have
the satisfaction of having snatched this poor family
from despair but do not abandon her till YOU have
conducted her to the door, woman softened by
grief, and timd, would appear to disadvantage un-
accompanied Do you consent to go with herr
This last act of complaisance cost Latremblaye
much; yet the habit of yielding to the wishes of
Eugena, the desire of ensuring the success of the
business, curiosity to see the unknown, conquered
his repugnance, and he promised to come the next
