In a part of France not a hundred miles from the fins port of St Milo, stands a town containing some eight thousand inhabitants. Anciently a forti fied place of considerable strength, it is pitched on the pinny le of a high hill, with its antique batik mentS, coveted with time's livery, the green ivy and the yellow lichen. still frowning over the peaceful valleys around, and crowning the rocky ridge which confines the river Rance. That valley of the Rance is as lovely as any in Europe; now spreading out fur milee; it offers a wide ,basin for the river, which, extending in proportion, looks like abroad lake; now contracting to a oar ow gorge, it confines the stream ' between gigantic rocks, that rise'abruptly from its edge and,sombre woods, that dip their very branches in its waters. But it is where the town which have just mentioned first bursts upon the sight, that the !eerier, is peculiarly picturesque. Winding through PI deep defile 'of rocks which cut off the neighboring view, and throw a dark shadow over the stream, the titer suddenly turns a projecting point of its shores, and a landicape of unequalled beauty opens on the sight. Rich wooded valleys with soft green sloping sides,- broken with crags, and diver sified with hamlets, are seeddiverging in every di rection, with; the Rance winding forward in the midst of them , j while high in air, hiding it over all storied, rises theistately rock on which the town is placed, with wall, and battlement, and tower, hanging over its extreine verge. In front, and apparently immediately under the town, though in reality at about two miles distance from it, lies 'a high craggy piece of ground, which the water would completely encircle were it not for a narrow Solt of isthmus, which joins it to its parent chain of hills. This is called the Courtrart, from the tuna which the river makes round it: and I no tice it more particularly from being the exact icene lof myopry's catastrophe. In the town which I have above described, lived some time ago, a very pretty girl, whom we shall designate ba the name of Lance. Her mother was well to do in the world.—that is to.say, as things go 53 in BwtstinYs where people can live aphoadidly for nothing at all, and. do very well far halt as much. However. Akiinute could always have het tci aufccs and het' •elet /a IVoche, kept two nice country las ses; one as cook and the other as .61/44-atsmbre, and had once a year the new fashions frona Paris, to dem3nletrate her gentility. Lauri)), father, too. had left the young lady a little property -of her own, amounting to about' eighty pounds Is: annum; so that bifing fortune and belle,. all the youth of the place, according to the old Sete song, were '" Waring at her. Ptetcg at her.

It is; but irty, miles,i and angels can kick much, farther if we may believe !the Normans. However,t;harfes's aunt lived notfar from Lanre's Tattier, and many, a time had sho vaunted the gra ces of her nep,hew's person. According to her ac count, he was as tall and as straight as a gas lamp- Post, as rosy as a ribstone pippin ; with eyes as bright , a red hot poker, teeth as white as'-the inside of a tea cup. and his hair curling like the leaves of a So %log cabbage, In short, he was an Adonis, after her ilea of the thing; and loiure, having heard all this, B• egan to feel a son of anxious palpitating sort of sen sation, when, this coming was talked of together with sundry other symptoms of w bating very 'much to fall in love. At length the'arrival was announced. and Madame and ;Mademoiselle I.ture were invited to a ; t iro° at the house of Charles's aunt. Lance got, ally in a very great hurry, 'resolving, primo, to be frightened out of her nits at him ; and ri'cundo, not b l . i speirk a word to him. However, the time came, and when she got into the room she found 310airtur `lark .., s quite as handsome as his aunt had represen t ; but to her great surprise, she found him to be quite as timid as herself into the bargain. So Lance t k courage upon the strength of his bashfulness, fO r though it might be very well for one, she saw plain ly it Would never do for two. The evening passed off gaily, and Laura, as she had determined Isom the first, wept away over her head and ears in bye, and lbft the poor young man in quite as uncomfortable a condition. I need not conduct the reader through all the turn hags and wiridirgs of their passion. Suffice it to say, that both being very active, and loving each other very hard, they got on so far in six weeks, that their friends. judged it would. be well enough to marry them. Upon this Laura's mother and Charles's aunt met in form to discuss preliminaries. They began a few compliments, went on to arrange money mat• ters, proceeded -to differ upon some trivial points, grew a little warm upon the subject, turned up their noses at each other, quarrelled like Turks, and abUsed each other like pickpockets., Charles's aunt called Laura's mother an old cat—or something equivalent, and Laure'; mother vowed that Charles should nev er have lier.daughter, she'd be -----. tie ! whet was I going to , say t The two young people were in despair. , Laure received a maternal injunction never to speak to that vile young man again ; together with a threat of be ing locked up if she was restive. However, the Sun day after Paques, Laure's mother was laid up with al bad cold and freina what cause does not appear. but Laure never felt so devout as on that particular day. She "would-not have stayed away from m ass for all the iveald. So to church she went, when, to her surprise and astonishment, she beheld ChMles standing in the little chapel of the left isle. 'La re,' said he, as soon as he saw her .ma there, let u , go out of the town, by the back street, and taken balk in the fields' 'Lawn felt a good deal too much qgi tated to say her prayers properly, and looking about the church, she perceived that, as she had come halt an hour before the time, there was nobody there 1 ; so slipping her arm through that of her lover, she trip ped nimbly along with him down the back street, Mader the Gothic arch and high towers of they old town gate d and in five minutes was walking withhim iu the fields. Now, what a long, sad, pastoral iogue eoi;ti produce between Laure and Chides as they walked along; but I will spare my reader that at least. The summary 'of the matter is, that they determined they were very unhappy—the 'host miserable people in existence;—now that they were separated from each other, there was nothing left in life worth tieing for. So Inure began to cry, and Charles vowed he would drown himself. Lame thought it was a very good idea, and declared that she would. drown herself too —for she had been reading all Saturday a German romance which taught such things; and she thought what a delightful tale it would make if she and Charles drowned themselves together, and how all the young ladles would cry when they read it, and What • pretty tomb they would have, with U Ci ges lizint Charles et Laure, deux amans. matheereux " written upon it in large black letters; and in short, she arranged it all so comfortably in her own mind that she resolved she would not wait a minute. . As fate would have it, they had just arrived at that rocky point Which I have before described,called the Courbure, when Charles and Lours had worked each other up to the necessary pitch of excitement and despair. The water teas before them, and the only question was who should jump in first ; for the little landing [dice from which they were to leap Would hold but one at a time. Charles &dared that be would set the example—Laure vowed it should be no one but herself. Charles insisted, but Laure, be iug nearest the water, gained the contested point, and plunged over. At that moment the thought, of what he was going 'to do came over Charles' mind , with a- sad qualm of conscience, and he paused for an instant on the brink. But what could he do I he corild not stand by and see the girl he levied drown before his face. bite an in truding,,rat or a ;supernumerary kitten. Forbid it heaven ! forbid it Love ! So in he went too—not at all with the intention of drowning himself; but with that of bringing Lanes oat; and being a tolerable !morimmer, he got hold of her in a minute. By tids time Laure had dirovved that drowning [was both cold arid wet, and 'by no means so agree:- his is the had anticipated ;so that when Charles approached; stre caught so firm a hold of him as to deprive him of the power of saying her. It is proba ble that under these dr' eum-.ne , s her very decided efforts to demonstrate her chabge•of opinion: might have effected heel original intention arid drowned them both, had not a 'boat come marl the Courts= at that very moment. .The biatmen load extricated them from their danger, and ainied them both home, exhausted and dripping, to the house of Lewes mother. At futhe good lady was terrified out of her wits, and ta tsfuriously angry; but ended. how. ever, by declaring that if ever they drowned them selves again, it shookl not be for love, and so married li-them out of hand.

For:res.—Leon is scarcely twenty, a charming young man, and fully qualified to take his place at.the Chafe do Paris, or the foyer of the opera, among the most distinguished men of! fashion in Paris. His conversation is elegant, flow• ing, and eien witty ; his warmers are those of the most distinguished circles; hia ton is faultless, and 'his toilet gives evidence of the meat refined taste. In the management of a spyglass, horsewhip, or gold headed cane, he is excelled by none, nor can any equal' hint - in the address with which he displays a few matchless diemcnds without the most distant appearance of affectation or consciousness of effect. A few days ago, towards dusk, an elegant cab stop ped at the door of Madame D—. a jeweller in the Rue du Faubourg St. Martin ; Lean descended from it with graceful lightness, walked into' the shop, and requested that he might be shown some rich jewels, from among which he was desirous of making a se lection. The shopkeeper innnediately laid before the elegant purchaser all the newest and most elegant ar ticles her cases contained. Leon examined them, re marked on their greater or less beauty, and triedon one or two rings in order to judge of their effect. Meanwhile the conversation between the elegant purchaser and the graceful trades-woman gradually became more and more animated. Madame D--- was inwardly admiring the refined gayety and grace ful address of the young exquisite, when another personage made his appearance, desiring to examine a chain which was suspended in her shop.window. The lady, hastening to comply with his request, mounted a chair, and was taking down the jewel al luded to, when Leon, who ever since the arrival of the new comer had been careless!) twirling his cane, inadvertently upset the waxlight placed on the coun ter until, the gas should be lighted. :At thesame in stant, without attracting the attention of Madame D--, a third individual, for whose admittance the second had left the door ajar, ectered the shop, groping on his hands and knees. In a twinkle, rings, watches, chains, brooches, &c., were transfer red, under favor of the obscurity which reigned in the shop, from the counter, on which they lay scat tered, to the pockets of the adroit sharper, while Leon continued by his conversation to divert the at tention of the lady. So far, the plot skilfully laid by Leon Morin and his stroinplices had succeeded admirably ; but the presence of another personage, also on all fuors, gave an untoward turn to the affair. A little terrier, who had hitherto passed unperceived by the plunderers, not being accustomed to see purchasers present themselves in so humble a - posture, set up a tremen dous growl, which gradually merged into a loud fit of barkieg, and finally the excited puppy, made a desperate rush at the face of the young man who was crouching on his hands and knees. "Fox ! Fox I quiet sir ! down, Fox r cried Madame D—. Fox complied, and for the simplest of reasons, namely, that few dogs can bark - and bite at one and the•same time; the little brute had got his teeth deeply imbedded in the nose of the unfortunate thief. oenise the dog !" cried the latter, at the same time suddenly rising and rushing into the street.— "Devil take the hindmost !^ cried be who had pre ceded him in the shop, taking the same road, and Leon was preparing, to follow their prudent example, when the lady, who by this time had recovered from her first alarm and saw the drift of the affair, blocked up his passage and called loudly for assistance. Lean was arrested, but his two accomplices had disappeared, and with them watches, diamonds, jew els, &c. In spite of his obstinate denials end affect ed indignatiOn, Leon, with whom thepolice author:- dm have already bad more than one bone to pick, was conducted to the Prefecture, where be was hand ed over to the discretion of the Procureur do Roi. ` , .ld I il dial, Ma.
