At dinner, under the influence of the
claret. which was good, Austen became
more than ever vivacious, and told many
anecdotes about his early adventures in
the town. "If didn't learn Latin" said
he, IL learnt good deal about some of
the things that Horace and Ovid and those
other old chaps used to write of. You're
such a COMPOUNDED saint, Ferris, that to
hear of some of my goings-on would
make you blush. | don't suppose you
ever spoke to II pretty woman in your life
except upon compulsion Pm sure the
Diva the other night must have thought
you had vocal paralysis. But as for me, l
was always just as bad the other way. l
lose my heart at sight and the worst of
it is the girls don't help me out bit ;
the best thing that could happen to me
would be to find handsome woman who
could say no ! Now, there was u girl
never mind her name, poor soul-call her
Mary for CONFERENCE.-The was rs pretty
a creature rs ever stepped in slippers ana
as demure as pie-crust. But really, my
dear fellow, it takes a cleverer man than
| am to see through woman, let her APP
pear as simple as she may. And they all
want to get married-that's the deuce of
1t. Why can't they be content to have a
little fun and done with it ? Well, it was
a pretty close thing for me as regarded
Mary if she had held out IL little longer
/ believe should have given in and you
might have been sitting in n two pair back
lodgings with me and Mrs. Austen at this
moment. But deuce take it it's better
as it is. My conscience bothered me n lit
tie for time but she's all right now,
and everything's for the best. Heigho

Lund refused. He was II moderate
drinker, and the condition of his friend,
who had obviously had quite as much as
was good for him, was in itself enough to
prompt him to abstain. "Iou seem to
think" he said, rather severely, that a
thing is good only so far as there is fun in
it. have never had much to do with wo-
men, it is true but have had thoughts
of what a woman might be to Il man. If
/ had talked to the Diva, us you call her,
in the way you and the others did, there
might have been some fun in it, but when
the time came that loved II woman, and
wished TO make her my wife, the recollec-
ton of the fun | had with the Diva would
not be pleasant or, if didn't mind it, 50
much the worse for me. There are GER
