one has seen, every one has heard Of, the lovely
fadette, who for tn. last two years, has paraded
the boulevards with unremitting assduity, tor the
wares, all of the best quality, and scarcely less
fresh and blooming than herself. On Friday last,
much CONSERVATION was excited by the disappear
ance of the beautiful boqneiere from all her accus-
toned haunts. 1t was opera night, and yet the
lovely Fadette was not beheld as usual standing
against the pillars of the entrance, reapng rich
harvest from the dandies whose button holes she
degned to adorn with her own fair hands. She
was not to be found at the Chateau des Fleurs She
was missed from the Opera Comique. Never did
disappearance create great sensation rs that of
the fair fadette. Her mother, in despair, aew to

they soon ransacked every rendez vous of the lost

Cloud, the Sale des Morris, at the Barriere st.
Jacques, and other reception rooms of the like kind
with which this place abounds. But 1t was OF no
avail the fair Fadette was nowhere to be found,
and the search was given up as hopeless. The
mother, however, was not to be baf1ed so easily,

mother be of good cheer told her that her
fortune. She, moreover, described with minuteness
the refuge which the oung girl had chosen the most
conspicuous mansion in the Faubourg St Honore.
Hither, then, the honest matron hurried, with
rage in her heart and fire in her eye. The scene
which toek place on her arrival is beyond descrip-
tion. Much apparent interest was expressed by
the master of the mansion, tits said for the emo

lout proved true. the bushiDg Fadette was drawn
forth and recognized by the angry mother who,
however, AFTER little reasoning, was led to &C.
knowledge that the position which her daughter
occupied as gardener in the greenhouses Of the
splendid mansion above alluded to is far preferable
to the hard, uncertain life she led before, and that
stance Of presenting bouquet with unusual grace,
to the great seigneur In whose service she b i'd
tered should have led to such high distinction as
this The matron, although, perhaps, not quite
theless, fain to yield when her daughter declared
herself perfectly satisfied and happy, and she left
the mansion to wonder amongst her conlerss at the
sudden good fortune Of the fair Fadette when she,
who had paced the Boulevards for nearly half Q
century, had never met with such luck as this.
The other adventure has befsllen one of the more
celebrated personages of the aristocracy of Bohemia,

en- tire seasons over the Chaumiere aad the Chateau
Rouge. For the last few months che had sworn
eternal faith TO young English noblemau, Lord
H, who had been for some time in Paris, study
ing with the greatest assiduty, the art of getting
through the prncely fortune left him by his father
IN as short time as possible and so conscien-
tousy has he studied that it is said he really has
proof Of entire in the practice Of his theory
by having nothing more to spend. 1t appears,
however, that poor Rose Pompon little dreampt how
very long her faith must last for it to be eternal as
she bad promi,ed and the other day, unable to re-
sst old souvenirs and old associations, she was per-
suaded to renounce for few hours all the grandeur
with which Lord H loves to surround her, an
to give convival party of old friends at the Mai
son Doree, on the Boulevard Lord H, ever
watchful, soon got apprsed Of the intent, and fol-
lowed, bent on vengeance worthy Of the veriest
barbarian. When the party alighted at the cafe,
he ascertained from the coachman who drove the
fair culprit, that the evenings entertainment was
to conclude with the spectacle he knew therefore,
that the dinner would not be prolonged. His reyo-
luton was taken the instant. By dint Of bribery
the coachmsn was induced to give up his station on
sooner was he seated there, than q umor spread
abroad, amongst the walters and loungers who
throng about the doors Of the Maison Doree, that
Madame Bocsrme was within. In less than ten
minutes more than hundred people had gathered
round the carriage, and by the time the unconscious
Rose had descended, the crowd had become almost
impenetrable. She, however, all unconscious, took
her seat, and told the coachman to drive, little
that the hootngs and execrations were
addressed to her; and was not until she perceived
that the carriage was followed by the Gro wd, aud
that every kind of gesture and expression Of disgust
was addressed to her. as she unconsciousy bent for
ward to ascertain the OF the uproar that she
became aware that she was the object of this
notice. Her terror could be easily conceived; she
called in vain to the coachman to drive down q
narrow street, to escape observation; he feigned
not to hear, bat went steady to the door Of the
theatre where he descended to assist her in alight
ing well pleased at the success Of his mystif ,ation
and amply revenged by all her suffering. To add
70 the modification Of poor Rose Pompon, the
nickname Of Bocarme has been affixed to her by
her envious rivals and she cannot appear in public
without being sauted by the jeering and hootngs of
hose who remember the adventure.
