him most delightful vision. lad,
whose beauty and symmetry took him b,

knew her name,) but what an hypothe

The duck had become pen-hcn---ra
diant, dazzling, she looked twice rs beau

lie found her again. She was so lovely
she made him ill--and he, alone, mus,
not dance with her, speak to her. II
he had been content to begin her ac.
quaintance the usual way, it might have
ended in kissing, but having begun with
kissing it must end in nothing. As she
danced, sparks Of beauty fell from her on
all around, but him---shc did not see
him; it was clear she never would sec
him--one gentleman was particularly as
siduous; she smiled on his assiduity; he
was ugly, but she smiled on him. Dolig-
nan was surprised at his success, his i'll
taste, his ugliness, his impcrtincncc
Dolignan at last found himself injured :
"Who was this, mani" "and what right
had he to go on so?" "He had never
kissed her, suppose said Dolly. Do
lignan could not prove it, but he felt
somehow the right of property was en-,
vaded. He went home and dreamed of
Miss Haythorn, and hated all :.the ugly
successful He spent fortnig ght trying
to end out who this beauty was,--hc
never could encounter Eer again. At
last he heard of her in this way; a lawyers
clerk paid him little visit and commen-
ccd little action against him, in the
name of Miss Haythorn, for Insulting
her in the railway train.
The young gentleman was shocked
cndeavored to soften the lawyer clerk;
that machine did not thoroughly comprc-
hcnd the meaning Of the term. The Ia
dy's name, however, was at last revealed
by this untoward incident from her
name to her address, was but short step;
aud the same day, our crest-fallcn hero
lay in wait at her door-and many a
succeeding day, without effect. But one
fine afternoon, she issued fourth quite
naturally, as if she did it every day, and
walked briskly on the nearest parade
Dolignan did the same. he met and pas
sed her many times on the parade, and
searched for pity in her eyes, but found
neither look, nor recognition, nor any of
her sentiment; for all this she walked and
walked, till all the other promenadcrs
were tired and gone,--then her culprit
summoned resolution, aud taking off his
hat, with voice trcmulous for the first
time, bcsought permission to address her.
She stopped, blushed, and neither ac-
knowlcdged nor disowned his acquaint-
ance. He blushcd, aud stammered out
how ashamed he was, how he deserved to
be punished, how he teas pun!shed, how
little she knew how unhappy he was; and
concluded by begging her not to let all
the world know the disgrace of man,
who was already mortified enough by the
loss of her acquaintance. She as kcd an
explanation he told her of the action
that had been commenced in her name
she gently shrugged her shoulders, and
said, "IIow stupid they are" Embol-
dend by this, he begged to know whether
or not life Of unpretendlng devotion
would, after laps of years, erase the
memory Of his madness--his crime.

had some preparations to make for ball
in the Crescent, where everybody ,rds to
be. They parted, and Dolignan deter
mined to be at the ball, where everybody
was t. be. lie was there, and after
some time he obtained all introduction
to Miss lIaythorn, and danced with
her. Her manner was gracious. With
the wonderful tact Of her sex, she seem
ed to have commenced the acquaintance
that evening. That night, for the first
time, Dolignan was in love. | will spare
the reader all the lovers arts, by which
he succeeded in dining where she dined,
in dancing where she danced, in overta-
king her by accident, when she rode.
His devotion followed her even to church,
where our dragoon was rewarded by lear
ming there is world where they neither
polk nor smoke,-the two capital abom-
nations Of this one.
He made acquaintance of her uncle,
who liked him, aud he saw at last with
JOY, that her eye loved to dwell upon him,
when she thought he did not observe
her.
1t was three months after the Box
Tunnel, that Capt. Doliguan called one
day upon Capt. Haythorn, X. n, whom
he had met twice in his life, and slightly
propitiated by violently listening to a
cutting-out expedition he called, aud
in the usual way and asked permission
to pay his addresses to his daughter.
The worthy captain straishtway began
doing Quarter Deck, when he vas sud
denly summoned from the apartment by
mysterious message. On his return
he announced, with total change Of
voice, that ut was all right, and his Wis

truth; nautical commander, terrible to
the foe, was in complete and happy sub
jugation to his daughter, our heroine.
As he was taking leave, Dolignan saw
his divinity glide into the drawing-room.
