" Tbe fine old ball of Winton parlc was to be our theater, aud it was my partica lsr province' to take tbe beat advantage of tho many natural facilities of the place; to arrange about the scenery; to Dud out what were tbe proper dresses for the plays wo were to perform, elo and Ada Dart, being the only persou whose eouuU waa of real service In caso of a difficulty, I was perpetually obliged to appeal to her. Daugerua.ly intoxfeat ing were those conferences, whiob, I con fefcs, I prolonged needlessly; Indeed, I nsed sometimes to get up a veXAtious op. position to her wishes in order to give our discussion a matrimonial flavor. Helgb-hi 1 Tt,e ,'tiys selected were "The Belle of Pet r nice," lollowtil by tbe farce ol "Eyes and Nuse,"and the distribution c( parts waa a wcrk fur Job and Solomon, most of the company nt first declaring their utter inability to tU tho eimples. characters, Hnd cummg round gradually to demanding the principal i&les. At our first general meeting it seemed doubtlul whether it would be possible to cast the mildest aud lightest of pieces. but st tbo end of a fortnight if Oihtllo'' could have been rewritten with three HoorK, four Desdeaionas nud two lagos, our, little company "had stomach, for them' nil." T n ... iai ciiBi ior norteBCue, which was too promineut a part lor my taste; for bisiile tint, ou nuclple, I very much prefer that other people should amuse me to reversing that proctidiiig; I hsted having so much to l.aru by htart. In a little time matters beguu to run smoothly nnd we had our first rehearsal. I By tecalliug to miud the different actotb i bint heeu in my part, and endeavoring to imitate tiieui, I nioceeded better thuu I bad anticipated, aud gaiued consider. able Hpplue. But,' mid O'lliian, "you must shave, yuu know. The idea of Furteseue with thoso wbUkeia is too absurd." Now, my whiskers were black, pin ituut, Bilky, and had coot mo an infinity ol trouble. It hnd taken five years of oonstnut care and scientific training t bring them lo their present state of per fection. Auy one without experience lu the mutter would scarcely credit the amount kftimeand labor, not lo mention the mere money, that I had tspruded upon thoui.

Wbeu I took my walks abroad and the breite fluttered them over my shoulders, scorn- ful indeed was the beauty whose eyes i id uut light up with admiration us she pass ed. Even envious mou were unable lo wiihhuld their tribute of praise. "Cheevers, my boy,' observed Eivers, wbo has spent his own'forluue and is looking out for u wife, "my figure is twenty thousaott. but, by gad, if I l,ttil your nbi.kers. I'd make it f.uixi' You may judge my feelings, then when it was seriotuly proposed that 1 should sbuve. I repudiated tbe notion with a shuddering earnestness whiob s.-uned touiuusesuma of theoompauy, aud they all set to work to argue me out of my objectiou to the sacrifice. "They will growaguin," said one MUa Wlntw. "I am sure Mr. Cbfevft's faoe would look better without them' added the other. "Yes; there is a particularly fine con tour, which is completely hidden at pres ent,' aid O Brian. "How do you know that. Paddy?" Contour or not." said I, firmly, "if yon ouinot put np with a whiskered Forlekcue, some one else mnt take tbe part." Aud to, tbiit resolution I stuck in splta ol flattery, persuasion aud satire tor three daja, Aud I got it hot, too, nt times. first ona and then another mala visi tor was tried In my part, aud found wanting. Oa the fourth morning after breakfast. Ada Dart eipnssed a wih to learn how- to play at billiard. O'Drian was not in the room, and I seized the opportunity uf offering my services, which were ac cepted, 'I am so sorry. Mr. Cheevers," said she, "that yun cannot take the part oi Forlesrna. Yon mnsl change with Mr. O'Hriau; that is tba only way In which wo can manage it. aud eveu tbnt will 1 oil the play ' "la 1 quite necessary that Fortear n ahonld be wbiskeilen?" I asked faintly. "Why, judge for yonrself; how woold a powdered wig look with tbiro?

On my way down stairs 1 met Sir Thomas, who stopped, stared, nnd asked my name, lie did not recognise me, Young Winton, who was always late, was breakfasting when I entered tbe morning-room. lie dropped a cap of hot coffee over bis knees, and nearly choked. Leaving him in bis misery, I encountered a youug lady visitor, who crammot her pockebbnudkerchlef iu her month and fled. Bat it would be tedious to recount tho effect I produced. upon caob individual member of the household. All, even the faithless Ada, laughed at my appearauce, except O' Briau, wbo looked upon my transforma tion from a purely dramatlo point of view. Others were divided as to wheth er I most resembled a plucked fowl or a reocutly shorn sheep, bat the Veritable amateur paid; "Sure, be will make au elegant Fortesoue," and stuck to that view of the riuesiiou. The compaLy soon gat nstd to the alteration, and the dramatlo business now went as smoothly as a band passed orermy cheeks. I had tbe intoxicating privilege, the tantulizltig element iu which was tempered by hope of mukiug second-hand lota to Ada ln daily rehearsals, till at last the day of positive performance arrived. We all knew our parts, but whether we acted them well or not U is difficult to judge; onr audionco was bound in common politeness to be pleased, and tbe flattering applause and profuse con gratulations we received cannot be couuted for mueh. At any rate, evert -body seemed delighted, aud the whole affair was voted Huccess. Oti the morning follow lug the perform nnee. I awoke early with a film deter mination to turu mimio courtship into earnest, aud force a plain yeB or no In m her that viry day. To lie iu bod with such a prickle iu the pillow was quite Impossible, so I got up, dressed and weut for a walk. Oa passing throngb tbe gardou on my way back to breakfast, I becsme aware that some one else was also in high spirits, for a well-known voice behind tbe shrubbery was singing "The Pigs in the Murning." and on turning tbe oornor of a path which brought me into n little npeu dell, I came upon O'Brian, .with his bat stuck on the back uf Lis head, az-ctitiog a "pas stul" to a vocul accompaniment. "AM" he cried, ou siting me, "sure yon Lave caught me making a fool of mrsell. But it is a' good thing my mother's only sou has doqa for me this mrruiug.

'I am going to be married to the prettiest littles iingel that ever wore boots, and haa a nice little sum all at her own disposition into the bargaiu. Whoop " It was too true; he had stolen a march upun me. I left Winton two hours af. terward. At present my whiskers are la the blacking-brush stage. SHERIDAN'S HELL STOEY. General Puil.
