camefor the first time about ten years agoi she was
then an insrucess in an English family. Her con-
tact with aristocacy, the sight OF the greatness thai
surrounded her, generated ambition ana dscontent
in her soul, ill then modest and peaceful She ex-
amined her own strength and saw that she possessed
everything that was necessary to enable lady to RISE
She had beauty, intelligence, address and resolution
With those qualities one may reach even a throne
Before the end of the season she had left the English
family to enter as instruciress the family Of the
Hungarian Count N. The Prince had two daugh-
ters about fourteen or fifteen and wife older than
himself and in very feeble health. The object Of the
Young lady was very apparent. But no tragic cpl
side mars this history of private life. The sick
Princess died at Nice where she had gone, with one
of her daughters to spend the winter. The Prince
received the news at Vienna, where he was staying
with his other newly married daughter. Three
months after he married the instructress.
PonTRAIr FoR NOTHING. Several Partisan pain
tiers have been this year TO Baden, not TO carry off
with them, on their canvass, the admirable land
scape views Of country wherein nature has scatter
ed her choicest gifts, but TO make copies Of faces
less blessed by nature, by taking the portraits Of
Bile and wealthy baihers. There is much money to
be made in Baden in portrait painting, and painters
of talent, who look to money-making in their arr,
ought not TO overlook visit TO his place in summer.
The higher circles Of Baden very generous and do
chatter with artists: they were much diverted here
with the anecdote of the Partisan banker, who was
80 niggardly TO Horace vernet, and who was so &c.
verely punished for being so.
This fnancier repaired to the workroom Of
the painter, and after much entreaty, Horace Yer
net who cannot DO easily introduced trouble him
self with portrait, consented to produce, on can
vass, a face quite famous on change When the
banker had obtained the promise OF this favor, he
demanded, like true money-maker, "what would
be the price of his portrait" The question was in
considerate, yet the painter concealed his displea-
sure, and replied that they usually paid him for
portrait six thousand francs. "That is very high"
replied the banker; "could you not do 1t for four
thousand or four thousand five hundredP' ~ will
do better; will paint it for nothing" He dismiss
ed his applicant At the exhibition Of paintings the
following winter appeared the magnificent painting
of the Snala OF Abdel Kader. Horace Vcrnet faith
full to his word, had introdu The portrait of the
banker in the person of an ~, who is saving
himself and is carrying of oney-a face occu-
plying the very middle of the canvass and presents
striking contrast to the noble and handsome faces
Of the principal personages Of the painting Paris
is already long since familiar with this anecdote but
it was to the people of Baden, and has recently
been narrated and quite apropos for the hero of the
adventure, the skin-hint banker, the model of the
Jew of Samala, has been in Baden part Of the

MARRYING FOR REvEsaE-By the side Of the Prin-
cess N. we observed at the ball the blonde Mime. de
S. dressed in mourning, This lady, to whom her
mourning is very becoming, came very near never
being married Her evil star had given her for an
admirer, cousin whom she deiested. Her cousin
was mean and wilful, and said to her-"Yo can, II
you choose, refuse to accept my hand but If you do
not take you shall remain SINGLE" To carry out
this menace he first made use of rather amusing
expedient. An acceptable sutton had presented him
self; he very superstitous person. The cousin
very confdentialy told him that he himself did not
wish to marry his cousin because she had consulted
Mile. Lenormand, and this celebrated necromancer
had told her she should marry Prince for her Sc
cond husband. The drift Of the cousin is apparent,
in reference to the second marriage. In order to
marry Prince she must become widow, and that
while vet young and lovely, and of course In shor,
time This piece Of confidence met with fun sue
cess The superstitious sutton withdrew The report
of this prediction got wind and frightened away
