Fluttered enough by the Buddeuncss with which the Interview he had sought was coming npen him f.fu r all, George Venda'e followed up stairs. In u rouui over the chamber he hd just quitted a room also Sw i-s-npimiuted a young lady s:;t near one of three windows, working at an tuilirolderj-liamt; and an older lady sui with her face turnoJ close to another white-tiled fctove (tbovgh it was sum mer, atid the stove was not lighted), denning gloves.

A remarkable indication ot freedom and grace of limb, in her quiet attitude, aud a wou ieriul purity and freshness of color in her dimpled face aud bright grey eyes, seemed lraugbt with mountain air. Switzerland, too. though the general lashion of her dres.s was English, peeped oui ot the lanciful bodice she wore, and lurked in the curious clocked red stocking, and in its little silver-buckled shoe. As to the eloer lady, sitting v, ith her feet apnrt upon the lower bias ledce of the. stove, aupponing a lap-full of gloes while she cleaned one stretched cn hr lef. band, she was a true Swiss imi ersonatiou ot another kind; from the breadth of her cushi'in-l ke back, and l!io ponderosity of her respectable legs (it the word be admissible), to the black velvet band tied tightly rouud her throat tor tha repression of a rising tendency to (joxlre; or, hither anil, to her great copper colored gold earrings; or, higher still, to her head-dress of black gauza stretched oa wire.

Ttie elder lady by the stove, with the glove stretched ou her lett hand, like a glover's sign, half got up, balf looked over her broad shoul der, and wholly plumped down again and rub bed away. "Madame Dor." sa'd Obenreizer, smiling, "is fo kind as to keep me free from stain or tear, Madame Dor humors my weakness for being always neat, and devotes her time to removing every one 01 my specks and spots." Madame Dor, with the stre'ehed clove in th? air, aud her eyes closely sciutinizing its palm, discovered a lougn spot in tir. Obenreizer at that instant, and rubbed hard at hm. George Vendale. took his scat by the cmbroidry frane (baviug Drst taken ttie lair rigbt haud that bis entrance had checked), and glanced at the gold cross that d'pped into the bodice, with some thing ot the devotion ot a piliiiim, who had l eached his shrine at last. Obenreizer stood in the middle of the room with his thumbs in his waistcoat-f ockets, and became fllmy. He was saying down stairs. Miss Oben reizer," observed Veudale, "that the world is so small a place, that people cannot escape one another. 1 bave tound it much too large tor me since 1 saw jou last.''

"You tind us at length, Mr. Vendale. Perhaps jou muy lose us azain." "I triiPt not. The curlons coincidence that has rnablpd me to find you, encourages me to hope nor." "What is that coincidence, sir, if you please ?" A damty little native touch in this turn or speech and in its tone msde it perfectly caotivating, thought George Vendale, when again he noticed an instantaneous glance towards Madame Dor. A caution seemed to bo conveyed in it, rapid flash though it wa9; so he quietly topk heed of Madame Dor from that time forth. "It is that I happen to have become a pnrtner in a bouse of business in Loudou, to which Mr. Obenreizer happens this very day to be expressly recon. mended; and that, 100, by another house of business in Switzrland, in which (as it turns out) we both bave a commercial interest. He has not told you ?" "Ah!" ciiod Obenreizer, striking in, Aimless. "No. I bad not told Miss Marguerite. The world is so small and so monotonous that a sur prise is worth having in such a little jog trot place. It Is as he tells you. Miss Marguerite, lie, of so fine a family, and so proudly bre.1, has condescended to trade. To trade I Like us poor peasants, who have risen from ditches !" A cloud crept over the fair brow, aud she cast down her eyes. "Why.it is pood for trade I" pursued Qben reizer, enthusiastically. " It ennobles frsde I It is the misfortune ot trade, it Is its vulgarity, that any low people for example, we poor peasints hiav take to it and climb by it. See jou, my dear Vendale!"

It hid been very softly done when he spoke with Marguerite, or it had, altogether stopped, like the action ot a litenr.

Going down stairs, conducted by his host, be found tbe Obenreizer counting house at tbe back of tbe entrance-hall, and several shabby men in outlandish garments, banelns about, whom Obenreizer put aside that li mioht nnHj. with a fpw words in natois. "Countrymen." bo explained, as he attended Vendale to the door. "Poor compatriots, Gratc-iul aud attached, like dogs I Good by, To meet again. So glad I" Two more light touches ou his elbows dis. rriss-'-d him into the street. Sweit Miireuerite ut her fiame, and Madame Dor's broad back at her telegraph, floated before him to Cripp'e Comer. On his atrival ttiere Wilding was cloFeted with C-ntrey. The collar doors bupt euing to be opcti, Vendale lighted a cardie in a cleil suck, huh went down lor a cellhj-ous stroll, (iracetul Marguerite floated before him faithfully, but Madame Dor's broad biicu remained outside. Tne vaults were very spacious and very old There had been a stone cry pt do wn there, wheu bygones were not bygones; some said, part of a moi.kifh relectorv : some said, ot a cnapei si me said, of a Pgan temple. It was all one now. Let who would make what he liked of a crumbled nillar and a broken arch or so. Old Tune had made what he liked of it, and was quite indifferent to contradicnoQ. lhe close air, the musty smelt, and tbe tbun derous rumbliug in the streets ubove, as being out of tbe routine of ordinary life, wentwtii enough with tbe picture of pretty Marguerite holding her own ngatust these three. KoveU' dale went on until, at a turning in the vaults, he saw a light like tbe light he carried. "On I Y'ou are here, aro you. Joey?" ''Oughtn't it rather to go 'Oh I you're here, are jou, Ma ter George V For it's my business to rje nere; out 11 uiu t youru." "Djn't grumble, Joey." "On I 1 don't grumble," returned the cellar man. "If anything grumbles, it's what I've took in tbroueh tbe pores: it ain't me. Have a care as something in you uou't oecin a-giumo- ling, Master Georte. stop heie long enougn for the wapors to work, and they'll be at it." His present occupation consisieu 01 poking nts head into the bins, making measurements and mental calculations, and euteiiug them in a rhinocerous-hide-looking no tt boos, Lke a pieca of himself. "They'll be at it," be resumed, layibg the wooden rod that be measured witb, acro-s two casks, entering bis lust calculation, and straight ening his buck, "trust 'em 1 And so you've re gularly come into the busiue'S, Master George?" "iteguiariy. 1 nope j 011 uon t ouject, ioey r "1 don't, bless jou. But WHpors objects that you're too joung. xou'ie pom on jou too "v c snail get over mat, oojection aay Dy uay, , Jfey." .. . , "Av. ju aster George; dui 1 snan, uay oy aay, get over the objection that I'm too old, and so I sha'ift be capable of seeing much improvement in you." . The retort so tickled Joey .Ladle that he grunted forth a laugh and delivered it again, grunting lortn auotner iaugu aner tue secoi.u edition ol "improvement in you." "But what's no laughing matter, Master George," he resumed, straightening his back once more, "is, that Young Master Wilding has fone and changed the luck. Mark my words, le has changed the luck, aud he'll find it out. I ain't been down here all my life for nothing I 1 know by what 1 notices down here, when it's a-eoing to rain, when it's agoing to bold up, when it's a going to blow, when it's a-going to be calm. 1 know, by what 1 noticesdown here, when the luck's changed, quite as well." " Has this growth cn tne root anything to do with vour divination?" ased Veudale. holding hislitht towards a gloomy lagged growth of dark lungus, pendent from tbe arches with a verv disagreeable and repellent efJect. "Wo are famous lor this growth in this vault, aren't we?" "We ere, Master George" replied Joey Ladle, moving a step or two away, "and if you'll be advised by me, you'll let it alone." Taking ud toe rod lust now laid across the two easks, and faintly moving tbe languid fungus with it. Vendale atked, "Ay, indeed? Wbv so?" Why, not so much because it rises from the casks or wine, and may leave you to judge what sort ot stuff a Cellarmau takei into him self when he walks iu tbe same all the days ot his lite, nor yet so much because at a stage 6t its growth it's maggots, and you'll fetch 'em down upon vou." returned-Joey Ladle, still keeping away, "as for another reason, Master Geirge." "What other reason?" "(I wouldn't keeo on tonchin' It. if 1 was you, sir.) I'll tell you if you'll come out of th place. Mibt, tuke a look' at its color, Master George," 'I am doing eo." "Done, sir. Now, come cut of the place." lleuiovid away wuh his light, and Vendale followed with his. Whe n Veudale camo up with him, uud they were going back together, Ven dale eyeing him u3 they walked through the arches, said: "Well, Joey ? Tbe color." "Is it like clotted blood, Master Gejrge ?" "Like enough, perhaps." "More than enough,! think," muttered Joey Ladle, shaking his head solemnly. "Well, sav it is like; say it is exactly like. What iheu " "Master George, tbey do 6ay " "Who ?'' "How should I know who?" rejoined the Cellarmnn, spptirentiy much exasperated by lhe uniensoi able natuie ot the que'ilou. "Them I Them as says pre'ty well every ibiug, you know. How should 1 kuo who They are, if ycu don't V "Truw. Go on. , , . '"Ibey do say that the man that pels by any accident a piece of that dark growth Tight upoa bis breast, will, tor bute and certain, dio by Murder." AsVmdale laughingly stopped to meet the C Herman's eyea, wb ch he had fat' tiPd on his light white dreamlnvly saving thoe words, ne suddenly became conscious of beinx struck upou his own breast by a heavy haud. Instantly following wi'h his eyes the action of thP band that struck I.iiii which was his companion' he saw that U had beaten off bis nreast a web or clot ol the lungus, even then floating to the ground. For a moment he turned upon the Cellarmnn almost as scared a loo as the Hellannan turned tinon him. But in another moment they had reached the daylight at tne toot 01 me cellar-steps, and befote he cbeeriully sprang up them, he blew out liu cauaie ana tue supcrsn- tlou together. i 0 be con 'tn Mm. j INSURANCE COMPANIES. 1829 CHARTER PERPETUAL Fiaiililin lire Ihsw Co. or ruiLAin-.i-rpiiiA, OFFICE! .. 485 ADD 4H7 tllfcSMJT HI IlKET.
