A Matrimonial Agency "This is a queer. advertisement, is it not, especially to , he in such a paper, as the 'De bate;' do you believe in it, or is it some po litical association bidden under this mas querade disguise?" - •'lt is perfectly and exactly what It pre tends to be. Why, Pascal, don't you re member three years ago that this very - M. de St. Ruch, who advertises, was brought up before the courts by some discontented client, and that the court allowed that his trade was an honest one, violating none of the laws!" "Still; ". continued Pascal, "that does not prove to mo that St. Rosh has ever made any marriages; it only proves to me that be has an agency, and that he finds dopes who believe in himand who pay him fees." • ' 'Pretty large fees they most be to pay continually for the,whole of the fouslh page of 'l l he Debate."'

"Well, though this seems a piece of...school boy fun, I will, like another Declats, devote myself for,sny country's good,",said Pascal, laughing, ,"and jump nut into the gulf of matrimony, but into the arms of the matri monial ageo2-.!..r, " Pascal Devuine, who had taken this re solve, was one of the fortunate individuals, who bad made an immense fortune before he had attained his thirt*Mth year, by spec ulations, grow, ing,out of .the events of the day- . One of the must distinguished scholars,of the );cute Pulytechnique, be lied, on his ap pointment of lieutenant in the corps of engi neers, immediately resigned and so, found himself at twenty-five, without any position or profession., True, he w•as.the sun, of, rich provincial . attorney, but„ Al. senior, had fouoded great hopes ox his son, had been very proud of the. distinctions he had earned, and,was proportionately:enraged and disappointed at.the,strange.step his sun had taken. was unaccountable, even , to Pascal's intimate friends; and the world in general, meaning the small circle in which Pascal Dovoine moved was disposed _to look with blame and distrust,on a young wan, however well ell; who has no profes sion, and apporeutly,nu uhject in life except to spend money and amuse himself. Pascal, however, bore all reproaches, taunts, and surmises with wonderfulcoul. ness and indifference, refusing and evading all explanation, even to his mother, who wrote most •tuuch nig letters on the subject.. Patiently, amidst all sarcasm and surmises, he lived in Paris, not extravagantly,' but Lir, the quieteatiand snost„retired manner, possi ble, until ho tad attained his twenty-sixth, birth-Alay. Then, thevery.nextday, he took the Chemin du Nord nnd.pruceede'd to:the town - of Lanniun, inwhich his father resided. Here, good-humored and affectionate,:he endured all the reproaches of his father and withstood the pleadingsvf his mother.. "What wild be your motive for throwing away is career thousands would. give the world to see.upenire; before them?" "My motive is simply, father, dear, to make a forteriein fitlueo.re.'!' '.••- "In tire years? by gambling, I supp ise." • "Not even-by.spoeulating in the bourse." "How du yoU moan to begih?" ."Wdh a capital uf fifty thousand franca, left to me, 1 believe, by my. mother's sister, when I should attain the age of twenty- six." -Yes, sir, you have such a sum; kis at your 4isposal." "That is what hvought me here, to claim it." "You need. not,have troubled yourself, M. Pascal ,llevoine. The accounts of my guard ianship are all right. , You can: have that sum ad suoa se you like.';' ; , 'The sooner the better,'-' said. The old attorney, piqued at,/iis son's cool ness, made short work ,of furatali ties, and iu a few _days the .fifty, thousand francs were transferred to Pascal I).wuiue. "Now for,l'Aris," said Pascal.. “31uther," said he, "I Ilave'a secret; it is honorable in all respects. If you-choose, to you I will reveal it; :bta'tl2..i4 i h ilieviaild trust ma." , . • Pascal,"'sail his mother; like a title mother,'"l"belic ve you, and have faith in you.
