A moment by the stream he stays
Its meldoy is mute ! A glaze
Creeps o'er its Jimpies, as of death!
From fe'.tercd stream and blackened moor
The frost -rituir.c J greybeard's f owcr defy !

And strikes the beggar dead, to enrth !

-ShtJUdiey, lit length,. really gained the
aJvantapo of tlie yonng Xcw-Yoricr,
when ho accepted the befs with whk-h
our story commeuces even offering to
double tlieia, that he would make his ap
pearance at a grand fancy ball, on the
following evening, to skilfully disguised
as i lady, that they slibuld be unable to
recognize him !
Allan Loring thought not, as on the
eveutful night, habited a hi Pompadour,
he executed a pas scul in his private
apartment, to the unbounded amusement
of his eostumeur and Sam, the latter a
knowing contraband, sometime since from
Dixie, whom be had Lired to aid and abet
him in this arduous undertaking.
"Golly, matsa!" exclaimed &m, "you
be dc prettiest gal, there, sartiu ! not one
ob deni get sich red an' white cheeks, and
dem curls set you eff most 'nia7in !"
Certainly, blue satin, lace, hoops, rouge
patches, jowdercd hair, L race lets, auu
car rings, Lad worked a marvelous change.
Allan oluuift doubted bis own identity.
"Sam is right, Mr. Lorinsr," said the
eoslumer; "you make a very beautiful
youog lady, if you could cnH loik a lit:!e
more modest. Drop your eyes a little
so and don't tttke such long steps."
"Coniound the hoops," growled Allan,
as, in his perambulations, he contrived to
up-et a china vtise. "IIjw in the dick
cn am I to navigate with this toggery !"
"Practice is all that is needed. Take
it rtp iu this way so. Don't lift your
skins quite so kigh, and use your fun a
little more. Tticio, that will elo verv
well."
"All right ! There. I'm off, Sam.
Why! what's the matter now, you black
rascal !" for Sam was apparently in Cen
vul.-ioas.
"Oh ! lor, masta ! can't Loin it. Oh 1
hi ! hi ! It's too much for dls nigger, to

'Is this the way you wait en unpro
tected females? Straighten out your
face now, andjescoit mc lo the carriage,
and none of jour grinning to betray me,
or you shall find my Laud us heavy as
coin !" and urawiug on his hood and
c'ok, Luring, escorted by Sum, reached
the hall quite unsuspecte'd.
lut how to pass the receiver of tickets
was the next momentous question. Sam's
ready wit came to the rescue.
"Mass.! say pa.-s right ou," he bawled,
as Loring hesitate 1 ; "he forgot de gloves
aud de tickets, au' him gone back to
fotcu Via."
Aud the door-keeper, not entertaining
the slightest suspicion of this beautiful
and magnificently tlitsscd young lady,
Loring palsied without eppositiou into the
drawing-room.
Such giggling, chattering, whispering,
tittering; such waving of draperies,
g'etiming of jewels, and flirting of fans;
uch exhibition ot lovely necks and shoul.
Jris, as dresses were revealed ; such lac
ing of boots, and tying of slijpers ; array
iag of curls, aud (we mut say it) putting
on rouge and powder !
Loring was confounded, suffocated,
overwhelmed. Yf olf in sheep's clothing,
that he was. he felt his cheeks burn with
a guilty blush, under the battery of eyes,
black, brown and blue, leveled at hira on
his entrance, attracted by his beauty and
the splendor of his costume.
"Your sash is uudoLe," warb'.ed a
sweet voice close iu his ear, and turning,
he confronted a blue eyed, ringleted fairy j
iu a feasant's costume, holding up one
end c.i' (lift traiiin;' ribbon. I
"Let me fix it for you." She proceed
ed to do so, ascribing Loring's tin kward
Less to timidity. "You are a si ranger,
aren't you ? I thought so. I have been
watching ycu this half hour. Wheu are
you going in ? Not till your father
cjuies? Why, that may be an hour yet.
Coa.0 with me my name is Cora Ulan
chard. I have taken a fancy to you.
What is your name ?"
"Blanche Diiloway."
"Come, I'll introduce you to partners.

comprehend the secret of the attraction j
she found so strange, f he aht.o.t pulled
Loring into the bail-room, where he soon I
found himself the belle of the evening.
Iu the midst of aa animated flirtation
! vtith Mr. Bltinchard, the brothei of his
new found acquaintase, Loriug, to hi
no small umusctneut, described his thrte
friends j.eranibulatiug the salooD, evident -
ly in search of himself, and, as they pass-
cd and repassed, was enabled to gather
I from disjointed snatches of their conver-
sation, that they believed him not to be
present.
Once assured of this fact, he redoubled
certain little coquetries he had been prac
ticing or. Jlr. Llanchard, after the most
spproved style of sowe of Lis lady ac
quaintances, and ere long succeeded in
attracting the attention of Captain Ken
neth. "!y Jove! what a handsome girl I"
exclaimed that gentleman, putting up bis
eye-gl;.ss, after a somewhat prolonged
stare, aud louuging up to Llanchard, in a
jaunty style, he thought irresistible. "I
say, George no monopoly ! fair play,
jou know ! Introduce me !" with which
p.K'iicst, though evidently displeased with
(he nianucr and matter, the youug man
rss forced to eump!f, and Allan gracious-
j ' accepted Kenneth's invitation to dance.
The gallant Captain marched off with his
prize uuder his arm, little dreaming, as
he afterwards expressed it, "what sort ol
a craft he had in tow."
"Was Jibs Diiioway a stranger iu the
city V
"Yes, Miss Diiloway Lad only arrived
that moruing."
"Ah ! he was sure of it. Han-Lome
women could not remain longer than two
d.ivs unknown in IJuston."
'-Is that a ecu., lime at V demanded AI
laii.
"I am like a mirror I never compli
ment," returned the Captain.
'Uut like a !!.irrcr, you sometimes de

"Lost your bets, Loring, my boy !"
Such were the shouts that grc.tted his

only answering :
"You are mistaken, gentlemen. Ou
the contrary, I have won !''
' You dou't mean to say you were pres
