lowing:
The Duke Do, an old aristocrat, has son
who s in the naval service. Returning from
cruise, he was struck with the elegant form and
charming face of young girl, whose mother was
the porteress of the hotel. Our hero thought such
craft could he boarded like frigats, but meeting
with complete repnlse he drew off his forces, only
soliciting the privilege Of towing her In TO the port
of matrimony. Before that snug harbor could be
reached it was necessary to double the cape of pa
ternal explanation, and he encountered in the at
tempt a terrible storm Of rain, hail, thunder and
lightning. But a calm succeeded the tempest; the
father declared he would no longer oppose the
wishes of his son. man is either mp with the age
in which he lives, Vr he is not. The sperBet Is an
epoch of enlightenment and equality In the last
century already, did not the Nanine Of N. de Vol
tare, who after sll. was but femme de chdmJre
marry the Count dAlbaR
In short, the Duke consented TO the marriage of
his son, only requiring that he should make
years cruise before the event came of. During
that time, the young sailor might reflect upon the
consequences of the step, and Naniue might be
polished into elegance, under the hands of the
Duke her future fathern-aw. But the cunning old
gentleman--a Talieyrand on q small scale-mask-
ed, under this condescensiou. a Machiavelan plot.
He had marked in the fair darnsel certain dis
position to en,b0npoint He employed the year he
had before him in Developing this tendency. His
accompiices in this plan were all the farinaceous
substances known, from the potato to the racabout
of the Arabs. He strictly forbid exercise to his
victim. At the end of six months the girl had
gained eighteen pounds in weight; at the end of the
year she was monstrous IT was Alboni without
The voice-the elephant without the nightingale it
had swallowed. At the end of the year the young
officer appeared, radiant with anticipation. "Em-
brace your affaneed said his father ironically,
he led to his arms the mountain of humanity
which he himself had so perfdiously elevated. Tho
young officer, frightened, notwithstanding his
bravery, turned about aud ran; and he Is run
ming yet.

Campbell, however recovered the lost honor of
the day: for, with a promptitude and precision ex-
Pected from his experience and former practices,
he decimated the enemy with a very trifling loss
to himself Whether that enemy was the same az
the one who triumphed over General Wyniham, is
not clearly stated, bnt the presumption is&hat it
in thesame. The details of these battles will be
