" Your explanation, madaui, does but justify the favorable impression vour appearance must create." i?ir 1 said Madame Xogentel, bowing to this pretty compliment. And, on looking more attentively at her fel low traveler, she thought him well favored both as to face am! figure. " And pray, said she. "is it with a view to a temporary or a definite residence that you have purchased au estate iu our neighbor hood ?" " 1 do not know, madam ; it must depend how the air snits my wite." " Oh, so vou are married, sir V' asked the lady. Here the conversation dropped. The road had now described a curve, and the sunbeams fell full ou the whole inside of the carriage. " Thar me 1" cried Madame Xogentel. "what shall 1 do with my basket " Really, madame." answered Delannoy, af ter a moment's reflection, " I think the ouly safe place won! ! be under the seat." " \ ou are right, sir ; the simplest means ne ver occur to oue at first " The ba.-ket was placed under the seat, on Madame Xogentel's side. But the conversation seemed to flag. Per haps the lady thought it a pity so agreeable a man should be married : aud perhaps Delan noy considered it dangerous for a married man to grow more intimate with so fascinating a widow. The train now stopped at the Choisy-le-Roi stati'ju. , Madame Xogentel uttered au e.v lamatiou of surprise. Among the persons waiting the arrival of the train she recognized a former school-fedow -he had not s-vn for vearc She imm- t:atv!y determined to alight, thinking she couid resume her journey by the next train,and that au hour's delay, or more, would not much matter to her old aunt. Delannoy remained alone. Presently his eye fill on the basket, which the prettv widow had forgotten in her haste to run after her new found friend. " Fortunately." thought Delannoy. •• she has told u:e her u&uie, and mentioned the street where her old aunt lives, so 1 can carry the much covet d cheese to the person it is intend ed for." Delannoy indeed considered that as a well bred man. he could Jo DO less. And for fear he -houid prove as forgetful as Madame Xo gentel had been, he drew out the ba-ket from under the seat and placed it on his knees While thinking of a variety of thing*, he lift ed the i;d almost mechanically ; ii*t to soehow it looked : for. after all. curio-.ty is not the ex. : tsive inheritance of Eve's daughters.

Look at this pa per. madame!—do you recognize the hand writing ?" " To be sure ! it is my own." Aud having read the "two lines precediug her signature, she looked alternately at the paper aud at her hnsband with unspeakable surprise. " Yes. madam, your writing ! as I well knew before your own confession,' resumed Del an no v. with a fresh outburst of rage. '• And so vou know nobody in a place where lives somebody to whom you write, " Believe in mv everlasting love !" " .Nobody," replied the wife ; nor can I un derstand—" " Enough, madame ! Such a seutence can not be justified by auy artifice, liut as I hate scandal, 1 shall endeavor to master ray indig natidh. on two conditions—the first being that you leave this house within four-aud-twenty hours, and return to your family ; and the next, that you immediately reveal the name of the villain to whom this letter was address ed." '• Sir." replied Valentine, with a degree of dignity that would have overawed Delannoy under auy other circumstances, " you are not in a state to listen, nor am I iu a position to jus tify myself. I will not deny iny signature, but how it comes to be placed under these words. I cannot explain. However. I wilt return to my father's house, for with all my wish to com ply with your every desire, I can not perform impossibilities." Delannoy knew not what to think of such a degree of assurance on the part of his wife, who had always leen gentle, and even timid, and fearing that his resentment should carrv him too far, he very prudently retired to his study. Ilis reflections for the next half honr were of the bitterest description. Here was he con dom t.d to the saddest sjtectes of widowhood, and all his happiness destroyed like a baseless fabric ! The death of the vile seducer who had robbed him of everything could alone aj>- pease his thirst for revenge. But how was he to find him, since Valentine refused to name j him ? Suppose he applied to Madame Nogcn tel ? But perhaps she *a- unaware of the ex istence of this letter, and he would only appear ridiculous by taking such a step. Still, it had been HI her {possession—that w as evident ; and i thereon Delannoy built a whole edifice of con jecture-. Madame Xogentel being a pretty widow, ar gued he, was of course surrounded by a host of admirers. Her choice had perhaps" fallen on one of those gay deceivers, who are the pests of society. AN itn the carelessness of his tribe, he had pro' ably dropped this letter, and on tae widow's learning Lis delinquencies, she had no donbt only jardoned on the condition of his * • r r': ring the whole batch of letters. Aud he be red up Lis reasoning by the natural de -.1 action that Madame Xogentel must be pos sesacd not only of the remaining fragment of this individual letter, but of a great many more besides. Act; g on these rath-r plau-ible surmises. D '.annoy determined to seek au interview with Madame Nogeutel : but he felt it woold re quire some diplomatic tact on his { art to come at the truth, since the widow would not ot coarse betray her future husband's name to a man on " hostile thonghts intent." He had. as we know, an excellent pretext for calling on the lady ; so taking np the little basket which was to -erve as a letter of intro duction. he hastened to the Roe de Varecr.es A:::r inquiring at several houses, he at U-t discovered her annt's dwelling, and on enterifH* the drewtcg-room. was welcomed with great v\ n snow of gratitude.

" A thousand thanks and apologies." added he, as he flew off to the railway termi nus. But a train had just started for Curbed, so he was obliged to wait a couple of hours.— Wheu the next train returned from Corbeil, one of the first persons who alighted was Ma riette. " Where do you come from ?" asked he. " From Corbeil, jtUase sir." ""Who sent you thither?" " My mistress." " NVhat for ?" " ior some things which had beeu removed, aud which mistress now wants." This seemed so natural that Delannoy asked no further, and i\lnriette bustled awav. Her very haste now awoke some suspicions in his mind, and he recollected she had blushed on his first questioning her. But she hud gone I too far by this time to be overtaken ; besides, j the traiu was about to start, so Deiaunov got into one of the carriages. In an hour's time he entered the fruit-wo man's shop, at Corbeil. Have you not a load of old papers to wrap up your goods ?" aA-.-d he. " Yes, sir." " W hat will you take for them ?" Instead of auswering. the fruit womau stared ! at the stranger. " Well, good woman, don't vou hear?" said I he. " \ es, sir : but short of weighing the pa- \ per—" ~ " i " Come, will twenty francs satisfv vou V I Then, thinking she was about to object, head-' ded, " let's sav forty, and let me have every 5 scrap> you can lay hands on." The fruit-woman never earned half so much on the buric-t day -lie ever spent, and when • Delannoy took out the monev, and she saw a ' real piece of gold, she no longer considered him j I out of his senses. She then looked up everv morsel of paper in the shop, and produced a 1 tolerable load, which she hauded over to her j new customer, declaring she had not kept back the smallest scrap. Delannoy hastened to his receutly purchased ' house, and began to examine the bundle very j ' attentively. He found tradesmen's bills, com- ! meri-ia! letters, schoolboys' exercises, and so | forth, aixJ after reading th roach the whole lot. i j he was Ix>th tired aud exasperated at the use- < I lessnes? of his search. He ran back to the ! Iruit woman's. She was sitting in her back shop, and gossip ing with a charw..rr.an about the eccentric ceu tleaian. when his voice met ber ears, exclaim ing in an angry tone : " You have deceived me " llow so. sir, -aid -he. hastening forward, and alarmed for the forty franc piece he had given her. j " Yoa have more papers." " You may look ail about here, sir." said she, " and open al! the drawer-, if vou plea-e. I am quite sure that you will not catch me in fault." " Then, why don't I fiud a single one of the pieces 1 -aanted amongst ail this rubbish?" s-iid he. "It is not to be sup{i-od that von picked ou: the very ones I require for some other customer ?" " I'm *?ipe I can't say." ren'icd the fruit-w : > man. " but it is just possible they were taken away by a jw-rson who came a couple of hours ago. a:id off rii me anything I liked to a.-k. to pick "ut w!;at bits of j taper she pleased." A sti'Men h.r..t now beamel u|on Delannov " Can vou tell me who this person is said he " Let me see. I think she is servant to a family who is corn'ug to live at Corbeil."

" W hen Mariette was arranging the things wc sent to the house at Corljeil, she found a quan tity of old pajers, and thought to turn a pen ny by selling them. Among them were the letters I wrote to you wheu you were staying at Toulouse. The poor girl has an houest heart, so we must forgive her for having taken so unwarrantable a liberty in this one instance, particularly as she came and confessed what she had done, with many tears, when she found, on overhearing your passionate outbreak this morning, how much mischief she had occasion ed. I then dispatched her at once to Corbeil, and you know the rest." Delannoy now expressed the hope his wife I would overlook bis transgressions as easily as ; she seemed inclined to pardon Mariette s fault. Of course \ alentiae wmuld uot lose the oppor | tunity of lecturing him a little on the evils of jealousy, and so forth—would she have been a ' woman if she had not?—but the end of it was that, like all other women, she finished by for giving a repentant sinner. mm ; Arab Oddities. — An Arab, entering a house, | removes his shoes but uot his hat. He mounts ! l.ls horse upon the right side, while his wife | oiilks their cows upon the left side. With him. ! the point of a pin is its head, whilst its head is | made its heel. His head must be wrapped up warm, even iu summer, while his feet may well I enouirh go uak-_*d in winter. Every article of ; merchandise which is liquid he weighs, but measures wheat, barley, and a few other arti cles. He reads and writes from right to left, but figures arc read from left to right. He 1 eats almost nothinsr at breakfast, about a.- : much for dinner, but after the work of the * 'lay is done, sits down to a hot meal swimming 1 jin oil. or better yet, boiled batter. His sons . eat with him, but the females of the house j wait till his lord-hip is done. 11c rides his , donkey when travelling, his wife walking be hind.

Steering BY the XORTH Star. — A year or two since, an ebony individual, answering to the name of Bob," —in fact ao one knew whetlier he had any other name—was em ploy* Iby a .-kipper, to as-Ist him in sailing a small schooner on the waters of Chesapeake Bay. Bob didn't understand, and couldn't be made to learn the compass : so the skipjier never dared to tru-ri him to manage the craft, except during a very light night. wLenbecoald point out to him ome headland to steer for.— Un one occasion, however, thecapt&in. who had been up two night* previously, concluded he would tn:-t the --booner to Bob, ami take a little nar> on the deck : so he pointed out the Xorth Star to his jet companion, and toll him to continue steering for it until he wak--d up. After wa: .i;ing him a short time ami finding that ue cou i keep tae vesssei hea.l*i right, the skipjwr stretched :.iuis*.l' upu the deck and was - -on asleep. Shortly afterward, a squall arose from the Xorth, and blew the craft com pletely away from her cour-e. After it had cleared away --mewhat, B -b looked around and foar.i the Xorth Star at hi* back. He sailed I aloag an boor or so, doing the best be could, aud rogi tatug over how he should get out of his difficulty.

When twenty-one years old he had lost his health, so that he was thrown out Ui >on the world to seek any employment for which he bad strength. He said that he went to find employment with the determination that whatever he did he would do it well." The first and only thing he found that he could do, was to black boots and scour knives in a hotel. This he did. and did it well, as the gentlemen, now living, would testify. Though the business was low and servile, he did not lay aside -his self-respect, or allow himself to be by hisbusiuess. The respect and confidence of his employers were soon secured, and he was advanced to a more lucrative and less labori ous position. In course of time he was enabled to begia for himself a business, which he carries on ex tensively. He has accumulated an ample for tune, and is t aini ig an interesting fam'ly I j giving them the best advantages for moral and mental cultivation. He now holds an ele vated place in the community where he lives. Young meu who may chance to read the above statement of facts should mark the suc cess.
