Nell Gwynn's First Love.

"My first love, you must know, was link
boy" "a what?o It's true, said she, ''fOr
all the frightfulness OF your what and avery
good soul he was, too, poor Dick and had
the heart of a gentleman. God knows what
has become of him; but when last saw him
he said he would humbly love me to his -dy-
ing day. He used TO say that must have a
lords daughter for my beauty, and that l
ought to ride in my coach, and behaved to me
as if did. He, poor boy, would light me
and my mother home, when we had sold our
oranges, to our lodgings in Lewkenors Lane,
as if we had been ladies of the land. He said
he never felt easy for the evening till he had
asked me how 1 did then he went gaily
about his work, and if he saw US housed at
night he slept ike prince. Inever shall for
get when he came flushing aud stsmmering,
and drew out of his pocket pair Of worsted
stockings which he had brought for my na-
ked feet. 1t was bitter cold weather, and
had chilblains, which made me hobble about
till I cried; and what does poor Richard do
but work hard ike horse, and buy me these
worsted stockings? Ny mother bade him
put them on and 50 he did, and his warm
tears fell on my ehilbIains, and he said he
should be the happiest lord on earth if the
stockings did me any good" This anecdote
seems to have escaped the notice Of biograph-
ers of "pretty, witty Nelly" as Pepps calls
! her
