rRANsIATrp FROM THE FRENCH


uated in the Faubourg Saint,Germain,
was seated a young girl, lovely as spring,
gay as lark, and confding as goodness
itself. She was busily engaged in trim
ming dress which she was anxious to
finish in order TO be at liberty to set out
on party Of pleasure. "Mon Dieu !
] hear Saint Sulpice sounding vespers,"
she exclaimed" and have promised to
be at the house in the Champ Elysees
by four o'clock, where the lady awaits
me to accompany me to Versailles, and |
have no time to dress myself. My dear
Rose, pray finish this trimming, ,andl will
oblige you in the same way when it is
your turn TO 60 out" p .'. ',''s
Rose could not refuse the supplicating
Julie, but pouting took the dress of her
companion, saying, "Y on will have su-
perb day,rain and tempest reserve them
selves for my visiting day" 81 s.'h'.
Without replying to this ill-natured
observation, Julie prepared to quit the
,counter,but stopping with an air Of inde-
cision at the door Of the back shop-fear
and desire were both expressed on her
charming countenance. She hesitated
but vanity overruled discretion in her
heart, and pretending to have forgotten
something, she returned to the counter.
She cast glance at Rose, who was
seated at distance occupied with the
trimming, and quickly opening box she
took from itan embroidered Pelerine, &
covering it with her pocket handkerchief
tripped up to her chamber. Madame

turned" she said, sand can then re-
place the Pelerine in the box, and no
one will ever know | have borrowed it,
and then Gusave will be, SO charmed,

Gustave was the head clerk of the
merchant who supplied the shop to which
Julie was attached. 1t was there they
first became acquainted, Affection soon
followed, and as the young man was ar
dent, and Julie candid, their vows were
soon exchanged. Gustave had frequent
ly urged Julie to ride out with him into
the country, but she had refused, but
when he hadiproposed taking relative
