EMMA, THE SAILOR GIRL.
By MRS. WARD.

The following story is no, merely "found-
ed" on facl--ihe chief incidents are literally
true, and the scene is from nature. The
real name Of the heroine was Arnold. and
she was the daughter of a lieuienan; in II.
Majesty's navy. His pernicious habits drove
his child from his roof, and she, exchanging
clothes with village play fellow, hired her
self as cabin boy on board vessel bound
for the Cape. An accident brought her
under the notice Of a surgeon on board the
ship, and the events followed as have re-
lated them in the tale.
Between the fishing village of l.
and the town Of E, there once stood
on The slope of hill, facing the sea, row
Of dwellings, surrounded by neat gardens,
where those bright flowers throve which
snlighten many tenement, sheltered only
by The cliffs of our coast. The first Of these
attracted the eye by its tasteful transforma-
tion from common building to the pic

A FLRrArroS Manchester Demo-
crat relates the following incident in which
one of our countrymen figured
A young American gentleman "a MIR P
who is visiting Paris with the sold folks')
went to masked ball to see the elephant,
and to have some fun. His great desire was
TO meet an angel of the fair sex. He first
looked all round, waiting to make decis ion
the moment he should find fine waist and
small feet.
These beauties he discovered in a domino
of small figure, who took his arm and began
to intrigue with him. The lady told him his
name, the city of the United States from
which he was, and after all these prelimina.
res, she related to him many flirting excur-
sions which he had made last year at Sara
toga and Newport. All these things whisp-
cred in good English, were very puzzhng TO
MIR. p and, in order to find out who
was his fair companion, he invited her to
supper in a private cabinet. The lady first
refused but after some time she consented,
and the couple started in a carriage for the
we'll known restaurat oil Vachsite, where
all the Americans take their meals A cab
met was opened, the psiitsoupsr was ordered (;
and when they came to eat it, the lady was
obliged to take off her mask, MIR. K. dis
covered in her-whom! Guess it. You
give it up? She was his mother TIE ro
nance was over ard he took the oke the
best way he could. Mrs p. is one OF the
pret,iest women in Paris; and 70 one when
looking al demonstrating the freshness OF
her complexion and the beauty of her
charms--would suppose that she had son
twenty three years of age.
