Had I delayed my visit I should have been minus a window and a prisoner. Come, sir, your, captivity is at an end; and I hope you will forgive an infringement on the, liberty of the subject, as perpetrated this , night on your per. son. • Your incarceration, sir, originated in a ridi culous, but, you will probably confess, a natural mistake. The fact is simply this. I am a trader, and must acknowledge that Occasionally I admit and dispose of certain commodities which may not have contributed their regular quota to the King's exchequer. Such was the case to night. You were unluckily in the way, and your disguise, and the very strange place you chose to visit, on such a night, and at such an hour, caused yob to be suspected by some wild hands, which this danger °us traffic makes necessary, amPyour detention was the consequence.

He took the citizen's extended hand. " Really, Mr. Downing," for as such the vititer had announced himself, " the ball was all my own. I came here on an errand as wild as booties's; and it 1 hare paid the penalty of my indiscretion, my punishott ar, as trifling, being limited to an hour's me ,tation In a garden honie.

Then, the loomni of "the un divided Trinity," were chiefly eons of the nobili ty, members of the House of Commons, country gentlemen of estate, tufa men of liberal profes sions; a few of those of the mercantile class were found. Now the case is reversed At the former period, with a Very few exception., the student, had arrived at manhood before their - college course had closed. At the present day, from the el l lritme youth 61 the members, the university assumes the appearance of an overgrown school. Previous to the rebellion, the students of Trinity College were proud, overbearing, and aristocratic. They looked down: uptin the citizen'sas persons of interior birth, and ungentlemanly tastes and habits; and, accor dingly, many a raid Was made from the college up on the city; and, in return, when belated or dis tant from their hive, the students received personal mementos from the hands of the irritated bur ghers. Purcell's was a noted name as a leader of those dreaded and desperate youths. Many an assault and battery had he inflicted and endured ; and now smarting from a recollection of his imprisonment, in penetrating which, he suspected the group round the fire to have been principals, his pride took fire at the gross insult which their meaning look con veyed ; and determined to seize the evilest oppor- tunity to resent it, he tamed his back contemptu ously upon the conapanyy and employed himself in examining certain ponrait's of Washington-, Lucas and Dean Swift, Which, in gloriously-gilt frames, hung from the walls of the apartment. From these similitudes of patriotism, the stu -dent's eye wandered round the room. It was well lighted, the furniture expensive, rather than well chosen, the carpet rich, the sideboard loaded with plate, and all 'he saw attested the wealth of the proprietor. His further observation was interrupted; and a door opened, and some one came in, whose en trance caused a sensation amongst the company. " Sits.. Downing," was repeated in different keys from the fiv-place. Ifs the old boy's helpmate," said Purcell ; " some au lot antiquity i i ; brown bombasin and laced furbelows;" and, with affected ignorance of the lady of :!:e house being present, he continued, with a tidied indiffe rence, to admire the patriots upo he wall, and occupy himself with en accurate survey of the dull features of the once celebnged Dr. Lucas.— There was a whispering at the fire-; a light step crossed the roo f s. " Here comes old bombasin," muttered the cadent; and turning slowly round, with determined norichatence, within two paces his eyes encountered those of a young and beauti ful woman. ,leavens and earth! there stood the cause of all his anxiety and danger—there stood the unknown one ! If the student's e.stanishment was great at this r.nexpected meeting, the effect upon his fair incog• nits was positively electric. The blood rushed to the surface, and one deep blush covered her irom the brow to the bosom ; tor a moment she did not raise her eyes, and when she did, it appeared she had resolved to reject all previous acquaintances with her vi , iter. She returned his confused com pliments with a low and formal courtesy, and mut tered some disjointed excuses for the unavoidable absence of her hatband. Her husband ! Graiotis Heaven! Was Ae then married 1 and by that solitary word the stu dent's air-built castle iwas overthrown. The pang of deep disappomunent gave way to pique. Had seerally forgouen bun !

Soddenly she exclaimed--" Yon are hod, sir; there is blood op. on your breast." Purcell turned his eyes careless. ly to the spot. His shirt was slightly spotted. He stalled.

Among some paintings of exquisite beauty, one hide portrait attracted the student's undivided ad miration ; it was a likeness of the lovely occupant of the chamber. Purcell gazed upon with it rap ture. There was the deep blue eye—that bright, speaking eye ; there, too t was the rich profusion of chesnat ringlets; the Grecian. nose; the full red lip, that concealed teeth of pearl-like whiteness— and he had pressed that lip! And with that tivught came the maddening recollection that she was another's. Good Heaven ! could that lovely girl have wedded the elderly and homely person he had seen t Did that young beauty bloom for one whose years and habits rendered the existence of mutual attachment an impossibility 1 What could have caused this sacrifice! There was some hid den secret involving this ill-assorted'union which it was difhcolt to comprehend. His musing was in terrupted; a heavy step approached, and Mr. Dow. ning entered. " I ask your pardon, Mr. Purcell ; my neglect must appear unpardonable. Madeline tel me you are wounded ; let me look at it." "k scratch, sir- , -a mere scratch !" and baring bis breast, the student discovered that the skin hail been slightly, punctured. " Pshaw ! sir," he con tinued, " yoUr lady's bodkin would make a dead. her wound; and taking some sticking-plaster from his host, he covered the sore, and' buttoning bis jacket so as to zonceal the stain upon his shirt, fol lowed Mr. Downing to the supper-mom. Purcell was placed beside the lady of the house. Opposite to hins,a man was seated whom he had not previously Observed; he:, was introduced, as Monsieur Cbarelain. His dress and demeanor were grave, and from his general loot the student concluded that he was some priest or physician.— But his manners were very different from those of the other guests; his address was courtly and com manding; his .conversation lively and , intelligeni liefore t;:o meal was over Purcell felt himself irre swam); impOled towards the agreesible foreigner : and forgetting the iCmainder of the company, his whole attention was engrossed by Madiline and the intelligent person beside her. At a late hour he took a reluctant leave, and with unfeivied delight, accepted Mr. Downing's warm invitation to visit him frequently, with an assurance that a corer at his table should be reserved fur his young friend, the et Wen t. Love had already made wild work in Pincell's head. Madeline, the beautiful Madelir.e, occu pied his thoughts and• haunted his dreams. A colder character might have taken timely alarm, and avoided the danger of encouraging a growing passion for one whom fortone bad placed beyond the possibility of his possessing. ,But the Student's ardent disposition was insensible to the peril of his situation, and leaving the result to fate, be con tinued visiting the persons whom prudence would has-e warned him to avoid. Accordingly each day produced some apology for repairing to Downing's house; and as the mercantile avocations of the host occopted his ume with little intermissino, on- Tortrinarely for Stephen Purcell, his interviews with Madeline were long, and generally uncontrolled by the pimience of another. Madeline was the orphan child of an officer in the Kish Meade. the was educated at an Eng- Lsob content in Normandy, and after the revolution had Woken ont, had the melortuneto lose her fath er who fell in the battle of Arcola. The temper of the times made.the esiwence of any religious emnincnil in France impossible. Taat of Saint Genereise was dispersed, and the inmates oblize.l to seek a shelter in anotherkugdom. Madeline's father had once been in the Duke of Orlean's household, and In her distress she appeal for pro tection to the daughter of that prince, who had lately married the pliant and =fortunate Lord Edward F.:user-Ad. Madeline was an inmate of Lord Edward's fami ly when Mr. Downing, with others of the Irish de tegaves, had an interview a ith the French authori ties at Hamblugh. Them ILldeline and he acci dentally met. Downing was opulent and respecta ble, and enthusiastic in polities, and one for whom 'Lord Edward bad a high personal regard. Stnick with the charms of the beautiful and unprotected orphan, the trader forgot the disparity of sinus, and conceiving that wealth would anine for other disad vantage*, he declared his admiration to is aims and pressed his snit with ardour. Sennded by the powerful interterence of his nobles Mend, Madeltne'e objections to a mina in which her heart was un concerned were removed and Downing returned to Ireland the husband of the beautiful boanler of Fain Genevieve. A year passed over, and Downing -1 s thcogtrui be casse atm:abed in the reasons politics of the limes. His vanity might have been gratified by being the husband of one in lovely and accomplished as Madeline ; bet love was not , a leading peeion i and those hours which a- yon‘i husband =Add lave alioned to domestic intritirrina, weteconsum ed in prosecuting a conspiracy to overthrow the Irish govertunce.

Their apartments were separate, and their intercourse rather resembled that of a child and pa rent, than the warmer intimacy of wedded liter. Gratitude and affection towards her quondam pro- tector, Lord Edward, continued unabated in Made line's breast. The delicate and generous attention she had experienced in her destittnion, and'tho fre quent opportunities which, while a member of his family, she had possessed, of seeing and ,esrimat ing the chivalrous traits of character of that gifted boennhappy nobleman, had made a lasting im pression. She, too ; bad imbibed much of the in thosiasm of the day ! and the wild and delusive ro mance of liberty had peiled.opona yoorg and fer vid imagination. Her protector was coming Lake land, the hero and liberator of his country. Ar dently, then, did the beautiful enthusiast enter into her husband's plans for sheltering the noble leader of the conspiracy ; and by frequent instances of firmness in danger, with the ready resources of a woman's wit, she proved that the secret of Lied Edward's concealment hail been intrusted to one well worthy of this proud but dangerous confi dence. On the night of Lord Edward's artival in the city • Madaline had brought him the disguise he alter wards assumed. Many untoward circumstances delayed her, and she was returning after executing her perilous errand, when her Arrest before the col lege gates occurred. Pince timely interference saved her from the consequences of detection, and harmed the basis of a future intimacy which proved deeply disastrous to both. Meanwhile-the attempts of the executive to dis cover the retreat of the rebel leader were unsuc cessful Rewards and espionage produced no dis closures calculated to lead to his detection. De Chattelain sometimes joined the student during constant visits at Downing's ; and, delighted with his spirited and entertaining acquaintance, Purcell's admiration of his talents and informationmomentfy increased. The foreigner appeared singularly un interested in the passing events which engrossed the thoughts of all save himself, but signified on feigned astonishment at the success with which the chief conspirator evaded the incessant efforts of his enemies. The result of Purcell's daily in'erviews with the beautiful Madeline may be easily conjectured. He became the victim of a deep and devouring love ; an intacountable change in habits and &Pixel:den was remarked by his companions; the parade was deserted ; in the commons hall he was nevarseen ; and he now avoided the nightly carousals of the wild youths of the university, where, but 'lately, he had been' the presiding, spirit. In his chambers be was seldom found, and his most intimate friends were totally astounded at the marvellous and sad den change in Stephen PutcelL With pain Madeline remarked the progress of tl the student's passion. She rightly judged that a character so ardent and impetuous was ill adapted to struggle against a growing anachment ; which, if not subdued, would assuredly terminate in their mutual misery. She ;souk) have avoided him, but her husband taunt ohm! purposes, encouraged his visits ; and Madeline was thin prevented from adopting the only salutary coarse of conduct she could pursue.
