near id-Gotham, husband had spread

SMILING face and extended hand, entered--
Good evening Mrs. Gay, how d. YOU do I

the matter during the evening, by proving

unnoticd. He had seen how nleasan,iv
their residence looked from the roadside

MRS Gray, after much argument, that he

Bill tarried during the night. and breakfast

Brazilian Coaytship.-While at dinner
d negro girl who attended US seemed
fraueht with some important intelligence
and continued to look mysterious, grin
ming with her white teeth, and making
signs which neither my companion nor
comprehended. We afterwards discover
ed that il was connected with curious
trait of Brazilian manners. The old man,
and Ills wife had no children, so they sent
for a brothers. child TO keep them compa-
nv. and manage their family. This young
lady was very comely, and having .n0
prospect Of good inheritance from ner
uncle, she thought it right TO look on! ior
some agreeable partner to share II Win
NV companion, possessing these requisites
had caught the eye Of the fair victorina;
and not having an opportunity OF speaking
to him herself, had communicated, W
means of the attendant slave, her partiali-
4 ~ for him, and an intention that, if he was
actuated by similar sentiments, she would
! marry him. and share with him the inheri-
: lance she expected from her good uncle.
r This deviation from established etiquette
$ Of European usage does not convey any
y insulation of want of delicacy on the part
: of the ladies. Victorina was as modest a.
n she was comely; she sat in the remote
Z part Of the house with her aunt, superin-
# tending her domestic concerns. and seem
