awkward, very awkward! Was it not ve-
ry awkward? What was she to d.?
Nothing could be done tina, night; so
far was clear, but We praised her pru-
derce, promised 10 call at Upton the next
day and, if necessary to speak to this new
LOGGER, who might, after all, be no very
formidable person; ard quite relieved hy
The vent which she had given her scruples,
she departed in her usua! good spirits.
EaF'y The rext morning she re,apPear-

Ore. d ubtess Of those unfortunate ex-
les. He had tod Mrs. Davies that he
was a Esii.4~~gcnt!rmGa, desirons chr fly
of good air, cheappess and retirement.-
Beyond doubt he was one Of those un-
hanny fuai,ves. lie looked grave, ar!
pale, and ,houghtfuI, quite ike hero Of
romance. Des.des, lie was the vrry per-
son VINO. week before. had caught hold
of the reius when that little res,ive pony
had taken fright AT the bakers cart, aad
nearly backed Bill and herself mo the
great gravel pit on lIan'on Common -
Bill had entirely lost all com mnand over the
pony, and but ior the Strangers presence
of mind, she did not know what would
have become Of them. Surely must res
member her telling me tie circumstance?
Besides, he was unfortunate! He was
poor! He was an exile! She would not
be the means OF driving him from The asy-
lum which lie had chosen, for all the
world! : no!- no, for all my Gataniums!"--
an expression which is by no means the
apt.clirrax that it seems-For in The eyes
of a f)risr, and that hols, an enthusiast
and woman, what is this rusty fusty dus-
ty mus'y bit Of earth, called sthc world,
compared to sand Of blighlsA ,wcrs?
And finding, upon inquiry, thar III.
Ch0ynnwski. so ho called himself, had
brought a letter Of recommendation from
respectable London tradesman, and that
there was every appearance of his being,
as our fair young friend had conjectured
a foreigner in distress, my father not only
agreed tha, it would be cruel attempt to
drive him ffom bis new home, "a piece Of
tyranny witch, even in this land Of frees
dom, might, l suspect, have been mana.

by that grand depot, money! but rcsoIy-
ed 10 o6T tbe te% attentions in our poor !
power, t5t51l' W'f,ri every look and word |
proclaimed TO be, in the largest sense OF
the word, gentleman.
My father had seen him. not on his Wis.
it of inquiry, bnt in a few days afterwards,
bi'l-hools in hand, hacking away maniuly |
at the b'iars ard brambIes in the garden.
My first view Of him was in position

tradesmaa TO Put up stove in the MUSES.

One Of Mrs. Cameron's few causes of
complaint in her country lodgings had
been tho tendency to smoke in that i'm.
portaot apartment. We all know that
when those two subtle essences, smoke
and wind, once come to do battle in
vide, open chimney, the invisible agent is
pretty sure to have the best of the day,
and drive his vapoly enemy at full speed
before ,h4n NJ Choynowski, who by
this lime had established gardening ac-
quantance e,aot merely with Bill and Mar
tha, but with their fair mistress, happen,
ing to see her, ono windy evening, in
paroxysm cf smoky distress, not merely
recommended a stove, afer the fashion Of
the northern nations notions, bu! immedi-
atey walked into Beliord 10 give bis own
orders to respectable ironmonger; and
they were in tho very act Of ere ctlng

comfort Greatly these words are synony-

lcould hardly have seen him under cir
cumstances better calculated to display
his intelligence, bis delicacy, or good
breeding. The patience, gen,lencss, and
kind feeIirg with which he conttived at

plumbers made by TIE wofkmen in the ex-
,cu,ion of his orders, and the clearness
With which, in perfectly correct and iJio>
n4tic English, slightly :inged with for
