"Yes, sir; she called her Min Eva." "Evul What n charming nnme!" mnr- mured Mr. Willnughby to himself; aud then he added aloud: "That V ill do, J.Tne. thauk yon." Mr, Wllloughby Vane was n bachelor, tweuty-elghtytinrs oil, nch,indoletit,and tolerably good look lug. lie. lived with a widowed mother in it pleasant house in Albany, and, having nothing elo to do, had fallen desperately iu loye with his pretty vis a vis, and anxiously sought an opportunity for an introduction. How. ever, Inn-lug .discovered the niituo of his enchantress, bo determined to address her anouymonsly by Jetjer. Having decided upon taking this.step, the next thing to be done was to put it into execution, and having hut himsell in bis Utile study, after many futile at tempts, he succeeded in framing an epis tle to the lady to his satisfaction, begging her, if she valued his peace of mind, to relnrn on answer to "W: V., Post tifllce, Albany," That done, he went onf for a walk, ni d dropped the Utter in the near est box, Ilegnlarly three times a day for a week, afterward be oiled at the Post-office to see whether an answer bad arrived,fpr biro. As the week advanced Wltlottghby began to lose bis appetite, nnd grew so restless and irritable that Mrs. Vane.like n foud mother, fancied that her dear boy was unwell, and begged him to consult their medical attendant. Hut her son laughed at the idea, knowing well that bis complilnt was beyond the doctor's skill and cure. no was beginning to despair of ever I ,rttTIn(T rcnlr 1 recilving a reply, when, to bis great de- light, on the seventh morning, a letter j , , , , , muwm ,m uu. vj iuo fuoiiuaairr, ,D din,y fr"10 "d.

Wil- loughby Vaue spent his days in running lo and Irom tbo post-office, writing let ters nud watching his fair neighbor from tho window of the diuiDg rom.
