Surrounding, n table, on which were'mingled cups of tea,',hottle,s , of liquor, glaises, and a bowl of punch, Alfred Couvraud and some half-ra-dozen of his young companions were finishing their evening's entertainment. Their party - had been rather a noisy one, all young and gay, the room had resoniffed with joyous fooleries, mirthful songs and shouts of laughter. • But as change in this world is universal, their merriment wore out Of itself, and, the conversation assumed a serio comic turn. I was evident that the liqtiids were nearly exhausted. " It must be allowed, gentlemen," said Alfred, placing his empty - glass upon the table, and with a heightened color that contrasted forcibly with the tone of gravity he tried to assume,, "it must be allowed that the:life of a'bachelor is very in sipid." His companions looked at him with as tonishment, anti their silence indicated that they were not of his opinion. Alfred continued, "Exercise without end—noise and riot without any good result--days spent in reaping the fruits of prodigality, regret end repentance—this isthe life of a bachelor, which is called the most de lightful season--of our existence." - " But it is the freedom from care. and restraint that forms the charm; you'cannot deny that," said Felix denier, who appeared to have preserved his-senses better than the rest. "1 am. tired of that .freedom," cried Alfredi "wearied with illusions and chimeras that exhaust me, while attempting to realize them. I am dis gusted with silly 'amours which fail to interest the heart, while they destroy my• sensibility. I Most have tranquility—a regular domestic " Are you dreaming of a marriage-r.-asked Felix. " You have said it; yes ! a beloved wife with. some little images of myself—happiness assured and continued- , --it is of these I dream." " Then what prevents you from marrying?" " Why, my good fellow, lam so idle. Ido not like the trouble of seeking out a wife; besides, by seeking, one is'not likely to . find a suitable person.' "'Then I supposeyou 'would like some lady to .r ' seek you." , " And why not?" " Well, I see but one way ; place an advertise ment in some favorite jotirnal2, . " Faith, I never thOught of that !" " And 'you would not have done it if you had. I was but jesting when I named it!" "But I am positively serious!" " What. to,publish. yourself in this manner?" " Ye's!" 36-Iv " And give, your address 1" . "To be surp.!". " Come, come—that would be too original, and you are not the'man to do __ 44 But I will do it." "And when?" • • • "'l'o-night !" ! • "1 will wager a dinner you do not." 44 Vaccept the bet." • 'Oentlemen," said Felix rising, " you are wit ness to this wager. You will partake of the din tiler tu-morrow, at the .RecherConcale 3 " Of course, there was no dissenting v'oice tjiis lotion, and the evening being far athhamtd,' the party separated. • The morning of the next day ,;was cold and `rainy—one of these gloomy days - in which time creeps slowly away, and the atmosphsre seems only to breathe despair. • ; Madame Souville, and her friend Lucy were suffering from its influence. They had been si-. lent for more than five minutes, and that Fes a long..time fur two young, pretty and fortunate women, one of whom had'proved that love may survive marriage, and the other was at twO.ond twenty. the widow of an old man to whom ' l , lr had considered herself sacrificed. Seated before a good fin, the ladies were notwithstanding de voured by the vapors, when Lucy suddenly paused , from mechanically turning over the leaves of the, morning journal. Her attention was arrested by a few lines, which she hid perceived on turning 'it over, and having read them she laughed Heartily. " What is - itl" said her fiiend. " Oh.•the oddest thing ; the' drollest, the racist incredible that you may fancy," answered Lucy. "Of what nature?" "An advertisement ; I will give . you ten Min utes, twenty minutes, to guess its - purport." , 44 It is not worth a while to try:' ,44 Perhaps not ;so listen ' ' "'A young roan, 2.8 years of age, ail( Complexion, to lerable figure, and agreeable countenance, Well educated and 'possessing good qualities which he Hatteras himself would assure the happiness of dnv lady who may enjq' an income of no mote than fOOO franc.. , desires to enter the state of matrimony as early as ttottSlble.

Madame took the paper and lookel over - the paragraph: "It is too absurd," she said. " He, is some stupid ninny, some'stlipidlout," added Lucy. 44 Who thinks himself an accomplished_ gentle man," continued Madame. "It is carrying selkonceit a little too far," ob served the lively young widow. -!t Such-a fellow ought to be punished; he wants a lesson. Sup pose we give him one." " And howl" "Send for him here, and laugh at him. lie - Must be a fit' object for mirth, I am sure." " Oh, you jest." "No,,indeed, I do not!" 44 lluewhat purpois would it answer!" "Why, we aro already weary of this gloomy day, and it-is not yet half goni." "Weil, but reflect, ray dear Lucy ; observances, you know." "He must be a person incapable of judgin - such matters. We should be at no loss o tat potnt, I eTnr qpito certain." 44 Suppose - anything unpleasant should arise out of suck° proceetfing." • "4 have no fear of that, we should, be two to one ; and two women, too !" • Madame-Souville hesitated a moment, and then UM LANG iMo Zcicct (Talc. said i : "You seem so determined that I suppose-J must consent." She then wrote a few lines, folded And ealed them coquettishly, and then ran for the eoschman.l "Peter," said she, "put. the horses to the carriage, and' ake this note td its address." 1 1 The coachman obeyet his order's, and Lucy clapped her bands In ecst Bey , and anticipating rare sport. The two ladies, like two children eager for a pima of play, waited impatiently for the return of-peter, with M. Alfred Couvraud. -4 .-Madame Souville's Carriage bed been. a quarter of an hour before Alfred's door, yet he had not comprehended the note, which he was reading for a ninth time. "M. Alfred Couvraud is requested !bail he will allow himself to be conveyed in the carriage sent for him, to a person who wants to see him on important business." Suddenly recollecting`the wager of the previous evening, be said to himself: Ah, thil is some trick of those merry fellows. They would fain see ' whether I am willing to follow up the consequen= its of that advertisement. Well, they shall find I am not one to recele, - and if they think to mystify me, they may see the tables turned ;perhaps." 111= I ' And he dressed himself hastily and descended ; but.on getting into . the carriage, the coachman's livery staggered him a little, He stretched him- Itelf, however, quite comfortably on the cushionei , seat' and thought, " Bah ! ,the better to Succeed, ttie . Y have borrowed this equippage ; Well, let thode laugh who win r! Thohorses in a very few minates, stopped before. Me gates of a handsome, hotyl, which immediately opened, and Alfred, was conducted by a do•oestic, : who was evidently waiting for him up stairs! The young gentleman was somewhat astonished when, the servant having thrown open a pair of folding doors to announce him, he found himself in the presence of two ladies. Though ho was puzzled, he did I not loose his Presence of mind,and still suspecting some ambusb,lhe - held himself prepared to act on the defensive. The surprize of the ladies was equal to his own. Instead, of the awkward sim pleton, With whom they sought to amuse them. selv,they saw a well mannered,personable young man. His look was gracious, yet polite, and his dress elegant without being foppish. He address ed the ladies without embarrassment, and begged to know to what cause hO might attribute the invi, tation which had . brought him to‘their presence. Theywere confounded and silent for a time, not knowing how to reply. At length Lucy sum moning' Confidence, pointed to the journal and said, " I believe you are the gentleman whose name appears in that, paper." " I am, madame," he replied. " You will excuse the liberty we have taken," continued Lucy, motioning that ho should take a seat. , " Ladies," said Alfred, seating himself, " you have only used the privilege which I accorded to any one by that advertisement." " Perhaps our curiosity has beery too great in' this matter," added Lucy. " No . greriter than the singularity or the lines that caused it, :madame; the one justifies the other." These anriweri Were not such as were extu;cted, and she began to feet' herself rather awkwardly si toated, when her friend came•to her asistance.— itt,Of course this insertion is not meant seriously," said M. Souville. • . It is, I assure you, madame." " And do you think It will answer your purpose?" .1 hope it will." Marriage, sir, is a sacred and important thing; the means you take—" ' Are certainly not the moat prudent, madame, but they have the merit Of 'candor. rt is better to be knoWn before the mairiage than to be studied afterwards; and for my part I look for something more scilid.than a love based on illusion, and ht. pothetical happiness of mere promise." "You are positive:sir." ".I think I am reasonable." • Madame said no more, and Lucy took up the onversation in a laughing manner. '• Then if I were to offer you my hand, you would accept it without hesitation I" . . Without hesitation,-that is. if you would an swer the condition for which I stipulated," said Alfred, rather staggered by the lady coming to the point at onc.3. What a pity ! no doubt you mean a young girl—you would not marry a widow." And why not?" ieplied the young man, unit- s i ble to perceive how he should get out. of the scrape , he had advertised himself into. "I should think my chance for happiness greater with a widow than 'a young girl. Girls have such golden dreamS and invest the min of their. choice with imaginary perfection: and I know . that I am not perfect." ...Thisdiflicultf being removed, t see'no other," added Lucy, laughing heartily. . . Alfred felt rather.stiange—he thought some jest was to be played off, but could not guess how or' for what purpose. He resolved; however, to 'have all his wits about him, and at ahy rate come -off with the honor .f war. , No," coot - in - lied Lucy, I see no obstacle. I think I am not very ugly, rind' I know I am not too old c and I suppose if lily fortune was double what you name Ma/ would not be a positive oh- jection.7 • Alfred breathed more freely ; he saw a way to escape and he haslentd to say : "Indeed, madame, thit would he a greater &astable' than you may suppo;e .1 . " Indeed 1" i ^ Yea. I haYe, talents by' whiCh I can- gain a yearly income of nine or ten thousand francs; I estimate myself at that slim and nonmore, .and as I am of opinion that there should 'e equality points between uniting-parties, to ensure their ' mu• tual 'happiness. I am resolved that I will owe no thing to my wife; nor shall she'be indebted to me." " And would you refuse a lady trom this mo tiire 1" _•• • 1 " I would. I am,not of - an ungrateful disposi- lion, but I cannot endure the feeling of obligation."• "Then, sir, there is no more to he said." " Forget this interview, madame." and Alfred, rising, begged permission to retire. The ladies as sented; he bowed, arid left• the room, doubting whether he were in a drseam or had been engaged • in a scheme planned by Felix Janier. " Truly this young man is a singular being," said Lucy to her friend, when the door hail been closed on Alfred, "it is very well I magnified my Agnes, or he might havriOaken me at my word !" " I told you." said madame Souville, "that we might find a foolish thing." "But who could imagine that we should meet • with such en adversary,"' observed the widow,— " Really, Ido not dislike bim." • • That same evening, Alfred, Felix, and the friends assembled at the appointed glace. Felix enacted the Amphyryon with a rather. ill grace, and Alfred, by a few adroit questions, satisfied himself that none of the party had been privy to the adventure of the morning. He 'thought it very odd, as he reflected after his return-from the dinner. The following day he went to . the con cert Valentine, and there, by chance, met the two ladies. Hs bowed to them. A Jay or two'cifter, Iruprez played William Tell, and in the lobby of . the Opera house., Alfred again by chance, *met Madame Souville and Lucy. They exchanged* few words. The following day was invi t ing 'for a walk, and they met in the Tuilleries, of course accidentally. This time they emtered into con versation something like old acquaintances. Two months after . this,. Felix denier. arrived ! from an excursion into Normandy, found on his -- I table a letter from Alfred announcing his op .proaching marriage, and requesting his friend to be present at the ceremony.
