The Lady OF LaroSe.

Not many years ago, the gay world of
Paris was excited by a strange and roman-
tic affair. Emile Lamont, young lady
with a splendid fortune, and'hghly accom-.
plishcd IN mind AMI manners, announced
10 the wrrld that Il C would bc>tow her
hand and fortune upon any gentleman who
pleased her, but that he must be willing.
in consideration of her wealth and other
attractions, TO put up with Il face Of un-
para!leed uglincas a certain time cach
day was appointed to receive the visits of
the suitors at Lnrose, Maicmdis lie La
monl's beautiful residence in the vicinity
of Paris.
Among the first who responded to the
singular announcement was sir Charles
DaShington, IL young Engljshman Of noble
family, who had squandcrel princcly
fortune in the gambling houses of The
di-spated capital OF France. He eagerly
seized upon the opportunity TO mend his
broken fortunes, and to establish himself
Il: lin in the world of pleasure. Dashing-
ton was possessed of that beauty of form
and face which attracts the gaze Of artists
End wins the love Of women. His self
conccit led him to suppose that no woman
could resist him; and he thought it only
necessary 10 present himself bciolc the
lady OF Larosc in order to win her hand,
and what he valued more, her fortune
With this object in view he attired him
self in a magnificent suit of clothes, hired
carriage. and preceded in ddshing
style in search Of veal h and wife.
IL was delicious day in June, and the
gardens and grounds Of Larose presented
a scene of ravisAing beauty TO the ewes Of
Sir Charles Dashington, who looked upon
himself as soon to be monarch OF all he
surveyed" After drive Of quarter of
an hour, through winding roads bordcrcd
with sweet and brilliant flowers, and
through shady and cool groves, the superb
villa OF Larosc burst upon his cnraplured
sight. As he drove up he was met by Il
servant in handsome livery, who conduct
ed him through an elegant marble gallery
into the spacious reception room.

Dashington. The floor was composed of
exquisite mosaics, wrought into quaint
and curious pattrens; the walls were
beautifully frescoed after the manner of
Raphael before the crimson tinted win
dows hung purple silk curtains, which
tremGled in the vibration Of low, melan-
choly music, whose origin coold not be
discovered tables OF pearl and agate were
placed in different parts of the room some
of them loaded with richly bound books,
and others having on them gorgeous vases
of flowers whose odor pervaded the whole
apartment. In one corner stood a massive
cabinet containing curiosities, and sur
mounted with busts of celebrated authors,
among whom the kngishman was pleased
to see Shakespear crowned with iAnor-
| teiles
While he was admiring the splendid
saloon door glided softly back, and
Emile Lamont was announced. Dashing-
ton rose advanced to meet the person who
entered. lie was prepared tc see a face
ugy, indeed, but when his eyes fell upon
the trightful features OF the lady, he
shrunk back with an exclamation Of

Without appearing TO notice Dashing-
toms embarrassment, Emile welcomed
him TO Larosc in a few swcctly spoken
words and, TO his surprise, she spoke in
English with slight but charming accent

singular creature was perfect knowledge

gust which the horrible uglncss of her

preliminary conversation he veniured TO
approach the subject which had brought
him to Larose.

Sir Charles Da,hinston is pleased to

surpas' all my expectations. O. how
dream.likc my life would be passed in this
lovely spot With couicnial compani IN
to share its sweets, Til. place would be a
paradise on earth"
"What do you mean by a congenial
companion ," Emile asked.
One who possesses an approaching
love Of nature; one who finds II greater
delight in books than in balls one who
prefer, meditation and study to the Etiyol-
ilicS OF modern societies"
"Iou say nothing Of beaut is not
that a requisite ?" d,marded Emile. who
saw the serpent lurking beneath his flow
cry language.
"Givc me the lasting beauties Of the
mind, and | care not for the fading beau
ties Of a pretty facc,' cried Dashineton.
Soon after this intcrucw tcrminated,
and Sir Charles took to depart. Emilio
told him hc should hear from her in d

As he crossed the long gallery TO rcacl

Emile Lamont, AMI they were not likely

Inquiries were instituted about his habit

MORE PARTICULARS OF THE EscAPE OF
MILLs.-The Concord Monitor has the fol.
lowing additional particulars in regard to
the escape Of Mills, the Franconia muir.
derer:
From a person who spent two hours
with Mills on Tuesday night, we learn some
additional details Of his escape. He was
nine days in saving of the bars Of his cell
with the aid Of pocket knife, and saw
made from an old case knife with which he
ate his food. The. first night out Of jail he
slept in an old barn or shed, and Monday
night in cart at house about three miles
above Littlcton. He met the Lancaster
stage at short distance out Of Littleton,
and was making his way quite leisurely
when captured. He supposed he was in
Vermont when he crossed the Ammonoo-
sue river at Bath, and had no idea that he
was in New Hampshire when taken. Where
he last slept he killed setting hen and
took along with him. He stopped at one
place on the road, and went into house
and got something to eat, and remained
there singing and fddling for two hours.
lie does not manifest the least concern for
his fate, and thinks there is no use to bor-
row trouble about it now. He thinks his
next public appearance will be with rope
around his neck"

THEN AND Now.-The whirligig of time
sometimes brings about very strange re-
venges. Twenty years have not elapsed
since the great Hungarian poet Petofi
poured out his last and bitterest denunci-
ations, as a poet and a patriot, against the
Emperor Francis Joseph; and to-day the
same Francis Joseph, now King OF Hun
gary, for whom Petof's life was sacrificed
on the battlefield, subscribes hundred
guilders towards the erection Of monu-
ment in honor Of the poet; and the Hun
garian newspapers publish letter from
the Empress, who, by the way, is q good
Magyar scholar, in which she thanks Sir
John Bowring for making Petof known in
England-which he has not succeeded in
doing through his Indifferent version, al
though he may have directed attention
towards him so far as to prompt some
better poet than himself to undertake'a a
translation Of Petof's fiery songs into
English.-Ne,g York Evening Post.
