THE BOX TUNNEL.

In LbFC NAhA- o'NN
Z, 1S47, In the left compartment of a certain
frst-cass carriage were four passengers; OF these,
two were worth description.
The lady had a smooth, white, delicate brow,
strongly marked eyebrows, long lashes, eyes
that seemed to change color, and a goodslzed'
delicious mouth, with teeth as white as milk. a
man could not see her nose for her eyes and
mouth; her own sex could and would have told
US some nonsense about it. She wore an UMPIRE
tending grayish dress, buttoned to the throat,
with lozengeshaped buttons, and a Scottish
shawl that agreeably evaded color. She was
like q duck, so tight her plain feathers fitted her,
and there she sat, smooth, snug, and delicious,
with her book in her hand and a soupcon of her
wrist just visible as she held it.
Her opposite neighbor was what L call a good
style of man-the more to his credit, since he be-
lOnged to a corporation that frequently turns
out the worst imaginable style of young men.
He was a cavalry officer, aged twenty-five. He
had a mustache, but not a very repulsive one:
not one of those subnasal pigtails on which soup
is suspended like dew ON a shrub; it was short,
thick and black as coal. His teeth had not yet
been turned by tobacco smoke to the color of
Juice. his clothes did not stick to nor hang on
him; he had an engaging smile, and what liked
the dog for, his vanity, which was lnordlnate,
wasi N Ine proper pace, ms neart' noI III u Iaee,

in a word, he was what one oftener hears OF
than meets-a young gentleman.
He was conversing in an animated whisper
