nmo . That you will not dance with Lord | 1untley."
 Lord Hnntley was one Of thoss rsillls- nen whose wit consists in wearing a rold | we glass without needing it, and whose shole stock of intellectual ideas is made l ID ofcommon places from dailY journals. l.
 !" Hon DieW! hope you aFe not jeal- ous! 1 hate jealousy, and have done sO ey- ar since saw dear Pasta play Otkell0. Are you jealous, Cornwall l''
 No, no, not jealous, but ! hate that coxcomb !''
 Shall or shall not promise 2'' con- sidered Lady Annaly. The genius Ofwo-s man--sweet contradiction prevailed. 2
 s' I cannot promise, 7 she said.

 Cornwall bowed lowly, and coldly ejac- nlated in a very gentle tone, !" Heartless girl !a' and left the apartment. In the evening Lady Annaly and Lord Huntley excited universal adniifation at Almack's, in the galopade.s
 <, s ss Where is MT. Grey q, carelessly ask ed Lady Annaly of Lord Huntley, about a week after. ~ss
 Gone, N replied his Lordship, $ like pr. Syntax. in search of inc picturesque.
 He has left Englapd."
 Indeed, "said Lady Annaly, still more careiessiy, but her thoughts were different. ssGone! Gone !swithont a worduor line to me? Cruel !''
 Lord Huntley, in spite of his coxcomb- " and his gold eye-glass, had some knowl- edge of the world, especially of the female part of it. He saw that she was piqued, and hesitated not to pursue the advantage thus offered. Lady Annaly was somewhat Hurried, vague idea of revenge crossed her bosomshe became still more confus- ed--said 'syes, when she should have said Nno," and so three days afterwards, tho Morning Post had the following para graph :--
 ' It is hinted in fashionable circles, that Lord H. is about to lead toSfhe hymenial altsfthe elegan. and accomplished daugh- ter cf the Earl of A." N
 Inthe course of a few succeeding weeks the paragraph was repeated, with the addi- tional information, that the bridal was fix ed, and solving the mysteries of initials and asterisks, by giving tho names as portrait- painters sometimes do the likenesses-at "fnll lcngtb.'
 Cornwall Grey wandered to- Rome; he criticised St. Peter's, disliked tAe Apollo, and perfectly disregardcd the Venis. M What frightful disease lova ataust be, when ifshakes one criticise st. Peter's, dislike Ms Apollo, and disregard the Ve-i nus II hope never shall be in love!
 Oae day Cornwall Grey yawned over q an Enelish nats snaner :snddenly he star ted up. threw it away, ordered post horses, and hurried towards England at pace which his Satanic Majesty might vainly hope to rival. He passed the Campagnal like 2 flash of iightniDg-the inhabitants felt thlnderstruck. They knew not how so account for it: well might they wonder --tley had never seen Lady Annaiy. Some said he had run away with nun put that was great scandal--the nuns a- bout Rome are all very ugly. ( Cornwall Greyswas at the park gates of he Earl of A. ere he had considered why ne travelled So fast, or what was the object If his mission.
 ts" will see her once more,'' he said, l \ ere she become the bride of another- gre she become Lady Huntley." What Irlghtful name Huntley is At least so thought MT. Cornwall Grey.
 He dismissed his carriage at the nearest village, leaped the park paling, and roamed about among the shady groves in true lover style. The game keeper was very nigh shooting him for poacher, but luckily his gun flashed in the pan.
 2 Cornwall Grey ascended a flight of mar pie steps, nnclosed pair of glass folding doors. and entered a magnificent saloon and as he gazed round the elegant apart paent he sighed audibly. Cornwall Grey was not aradical; radicals never sigh over any thing but the national debt. . M
 Cornwall Grey walked up to the tablo n it lay the identical album which he had presented to Lady Annaly. He opened it -the first page presented some lines in 1ady Annaly's own Italian hand. Corn sall Grey never told any one what those nos expressed he knew better how to eep lady's secret, and So do N; but as 2 read them his counteDance frightened. nd his eyes sparkled. and the colour flew J lis check.
