year, had good right to bask in the sun.
One day, while crossing the Tuilleries,
he met young girl he thought the most
beautiful he had ever seen. He followed
her without thinking it any harm, 10 her
residence in the Rue de Bac. The next
day, and without any settled purpose, the
sailor was again traversing the garden OF
the Tuilleres. The same woman and
young girl were walking there again. He
caught the young girls eye and she blush
ed ''ccestial rosy red" The same thing
took place Tor several successive days; but
on Sunday, instead of going to the Tuiller-
les, he betook himself to St. Thomas d'A-
| gun, where, at the first glance, he caught
sight Of little white bonnet and little
brown head, from which he could not take
his eyes. Although bold and resolue as
rover, the sailor was, by nature, sentiment
ia! and romantic. One day the young girl
had dropped a boquct of volcts which he
| pounced upon and wore next to his heart
as taIisman.
"Nla fol-" said he TO himself one morn
ing, 81 should like that girl for my wife.
| must set about making inquiries on the
subject"
The result of which was that he learned
the young girl was immensely rich, and
with deep drawn sigh he said
"Bon. if she had been poor, I might
have married her; but rich as a fairy, it is
impossible"
Thereupon he bit his moustache and
went home to pack up his travelling traps
His trunk packed, he went to bed, and be-
fore sleep had visited his eyelids, had de-
'efmined to put continent between his
bewtcher and himself
The next morning a hurried note was
handed him to call at the office of a certain
notary without moments delay.
"It's probably an engagement to take
some ship out to China" said the sailor, as
he went TO the notary'S.
"Monsieur," said the notary, who wore
a white cravat and gold spectacles, like the
notaries Of the Gymnasc, ''you 90 frequent-
Iy to the Tuileries, and TO St. Thomas d'A-
quin -
81 do" replied the sailor, slightly trou-
bled by this eXodium.
"lou have often met there young girl
accompanied by middle-aged woman! !''
"Always."
"The young girl seemed 10 please you 2"
"Immensely."
''ln short, you love her"
eyes SIR"
"And you would like to marry her ~
every willingly"
"Well, sir. the matter can be arranged" :"
"Do YOU think so %
"Ccrtainly. My bunesS is to think"
"But she has seven or eight millions"
'Ten, SIR"
"And have nothing"
"1ou eXaggerate; you have an income
of four thousand eight hundred Iivres."
"A mere drop of water beside the ocran.''
"But suppose the ocean wants you, have
| your consentp -
"Ccrtainlv."
"lhen come to morrow"
1t will be easily believed that the young
man kept the appointment. He was
slightly pale, and did not care TO question
the notary, who opened the conversation {:
"Everything is settled, and the bans can
be published to morrow, II you permit"
"lt permit, surely, and | could en-
brace you into the bargain.'
"Well, embrace, if that please you, and
then listen to me-"
"Say on"
"Your intended is slightly your cousin"
"Ah, bah :"
"And her fortune comes from your un-
cle.''
"Hold, but then"
"Ask me no questions, you must rest sat
iSlied with guessing"
"Then | accept and guess"
Crest satisfied in knowing, that in disin-
heriting you, notwithstanding his oft-re-
peated promises, your uncle merely dis
| charged a sacred duty"
''Far be it from Inc to reproach him now,
but you must admit that chance stood my
friend in leading me to the Tuileries."
"Your presence in Paris was known /;
the meeting in the garden was all arranged.
A pair of handsome eyes did the rest"
''lt was then an affair arranged before
hand ?"
"Like most others which chance is
thought TO bring about"
"But il | had departed -
"lhe telegraph would have recalled
you; besides, lovers don't part SO easily"
"That's true."
"Now that you know all, shall the bans
be published %
"Publlsh them, morbleau and the soon
er the better"
The notary rose, and taking the young
man by the hand, led him to an adjoining
room, where a young girl, pale and tFemb-
ling, was seated by the fire side.
"My dear child" said the notary, "here
is your intended husband he wants but a
word from your lips to fall at your feet"
She answered not, but stretched out heT
hand to her young and handsome lover
Three weeks afterwards they were mar
ried.
