A LOVE SCENE FROX ”DOXBET 4. SON."
By Charles Dicksny
[A•late number of Dombey Son contains a
passage that we think will be particularly interest
ing to some of .our readers. We would promise
that Florence—the abuse of her father having swel
led to a point beyond even her meek endurance—
has lelt the house foreier; and sought refute at
the Wooden itlidehipman," now kept by Captain
Cuttle. Waiter has come back from sce,.and has
been back three or four days when the (allowing
scene occurs :]
Florence had been weak and delicate of late,
and the agiattion she bad undergone was not with
out its influences on her health. But it was no
taidily illness that affectedly'. now. *She was dig:
tressed in mind ; and the cause of her distress was
Walter.
Interested in her, anxious for her, proud and
glad-to serve her, and showing all this with the
enthusiasm and ardor of his character, Florence
saw that he avoided her. All the long day - thru'
he seldom approached her room. If she asked for
him, he came, again for the moment as.earnast and
as bright as she rerriembered him when the wee a
lost child in the storing streets; hut he soon be.
came constrained—Ater quick affection was too
watchful not to know it. l .-and uneasy, and r soon
left her. Unsought he never came, all day, fie
tween the morning and the night, When the
evening closed in, he was always there, and that
was her happiest time, for then she half believed
that the old Walter of her childhood was not
changed. But even then, some trivial weed, look,
or circumstance would show her that there was an
indefinable division between them which could
rot be passel
Aed she could not but see that - these revealing
of a great alteration toWalter manifested them
selves in despite of his utmost efforts to hide them.
In his eonshhration for her, she thought, and in
the earner nem of his desire to spare her any wound
from his kind hand, be resorted to innumerable
little attiGcea and disguises. • So much the'more
did Florence feel the greatnesiof the alteration in
so mach the oftener did she weep at this
estrangement of her brother. .
The good. Captain—her untiring, tender, over
zealous friend;--saw it too, Florence thought,. and
it pained him. Ho was less cheerful and hopeful
than he ha 1 hsen at first, and would - steal looks at
bet and Walter by turns, when they were Ottawa
together of an'eveping, with quite u sad face. '
Florence resolved, Ist last, to speak to Walter.
She believed she knew now what the cause orhis
estrangement was. and rho thought would be a
relief, to her full heart, and wield set,him more at
ease, if she told him she had found it.out r and

He spoke so kindly, and with such.. fervent

Walter had looked upon her while she raid this
with a face ao full of wonder and amazement, that
it had room for nothing else.. Now he caught up
the hand. that touched his, so entreatingly, and
held it between his own: ,
tah, Miss Hautboy," he said, '• is it possibie
that while I have been sufferingso much in striv

must be rendered to you, I 'have made you suffer
what your words disclose to me. Never, never,

in my life, but as something Sacred, never to be
lightly thought of, never to be esteemed -enough,
never, until c'eath, to be forgotten. Again to see
you look and hear you speak, as you did on that
night when we parted, is happiness to' me that
there are, no words to utter; and to be loved end

could receive and prize !"
Wafter," said Florence, baking at him ear
nestly. but wilt a changing face; "what is that
which is due to me, and must be rendered to me,

Respect," said Walter in a low tone. Rev.

The coiOr dawned in.her face, and she timidly
and thoughtfully withdrew her band ; still looking
at him with unabated earnestneta. .
"I have note brother's right," said Walter.-

Lod a woman."
The color overspread her face: ..She midi,. a
gesture u if of entreaty' that he would sot no
more, and her face dropped upori her hands."
They were both silent for a time ; she weeping.
' ^l owe it to a heart so trusting, pure and good,"
said Walter, "even to tear myself from it; though
I rend my own.—How dare I say it is my sister's.
She was weeping still. .
••If you had been happy ; surrounded as you
should be by loving and admiring friends, and all
that makes the station you were born to enviable,"
said 'Walter •;‘4'and. if you had called me brother,
then, in your affectionate remembrance of the
past, I coold have answered to the name from 'my
distant place, with no inward assurance that I
wronged your spotless truth by doing so. But
here—and now!"— -
'Oh, thank you, thank you, Welter!,
Forgive
my having wronged you so much. I ha d no one
to advise me. lam quite aloneY
"Florence!" said Welter, passionately," I am
hurried on to say, what I thought. but a few mo

lips—if I had been prosperous—if I had any
means or hope of being one (ley able to restore
you to a station near youi own—l 'would .have

you that it was the only claim that you could
give me to defend and guard you, which I dare
accept and dare assert—but that if I had. that
right, I would regard it' as a trust so precious and
so priceless, that the undivided truth and fervor of
my life would poorly acknowledge its worth."
' The bead was still bent down: the tears still
falling and the bosom swelling with its sobs..
"Dear Florence ! Deareet Florence ! whom I
called so in my thoughts, beforel could consider
how presumptuous and wild it was. Ono last
time Jet me call you by your own deer name, and
touch this gentle bend in token of your sisterly

She raised her head, and spoke to him with
such a soleinri sweetness in her eyes: with such 's
low, - soft iieirible in her, frame and voice that the,
innermost chords of hie' heart were' touched, and
his sight was dim as he listened.
"No. Walter I cannot - forget it. I !mild not
forget it, for the world. Are you—are you very
poor!"
"I am but a wandererA said 'Walter, making
voyages to live, across the sea. That is my call

"Very soon."
She sat looking at him for a Moment—then

WALKINO Or PARISIAN LADIES.—The
question ii often asked, bwwghappens it that the
French women ere so fai..before the women of ail
other commies in their style of walking. One of
two answers is generally given to the question.
Some persons account fur the fact. from the cir•
cumstancea of their streets being badly paved, and
of their consequently being 'obliged. in pauiog
along the streets, to makethose short, quick steps,
which are so much admired in their walking.
This cannot be the reason.hecause in many towns
in England; Scotland and Ireland, the causeway
is as rough, and the pavements as bad, as in Perk
yet we see nothing of the light, graceful, elastic
mode of walking, among the women of our pro
vincial towns, which is the admiration of all for
eigners who visit Paris. • -
The other usual mode of accounting for the
French womene - mode of walking, is, to attribute
it to the absence of carpets in the Parisian housed,
and the circumstances of tho floors being con.
atantly rubbed over 'with soap. which rendets
thorn very slippery
_to walk on. This cannot be
the right hypothesis any more than the other; for
it is a well ascertained fact, that English ladies
who have gOue to reside in Pads when they were
young, and before their style of walking could
have been formed, hardly ever acquire ttqtt elegance
of. - tartiage and elastic step which aft admire so
much in Parisian ladies. My own theory is, that
the graceful walk of the French women is the
result of that lightness of heart which is so'ntsrk
ed a characteristic in Mu French character, and
most of all, in female character.
A CHAPTER ON FEMALES.— WO like
to look upon a healthy women—she is a prodigy
in the nineteenth century.. Wherever you go
you sea scows and hundreds of . spleen., sickly,
feehle-girle, who - can hardly muster courage to
make their beds, wash their faces, or drive an in
truding
.. cow from the yard. Tell them about
early rising, fresh sir, and healthy exercise, and
they heave a sigh as long as the moral law, and
are ready to faint away. You' expect 'them to
get up before" day—to - work in the 'kitchen—to
breathe the fresh air of the morning! -Preposter
ousend absunl! They have never seen the sun
rice, and would hardly knovw but the - tun contin
ues to shine forever, if at weber not fur the alma
ruses and their grandmother.. No wonder that
every year sweeps to the grave so many young
women, who haver been sickly end effeminate,
ever since they were borne into the world; and
death will continue to select them as his victims,
till they, learn their duty, and pursue that course
which insures health, strength. and long life. Our
great grand parents lived to a great age—and
never thought of lying down to die till they had,
at - least,yeached the meridian of life: They were
stout, strong happy, sad -hearty. Why ? They
rose early—worked like beavers, and never spent
the Midnight hours in dancing. Instead of being
frightened at a mouse at their feet, a beetle on
their neck, a fly's foot onlheir arms, in the absence
of their fathers and husbands, they would load
their guns, and shoot Nati and catamounts, and
keep at bay a large party of savages. How have
theft daughters - degenerated 1 What (mats is

How is it now ! Wielowe.a.e few and far be

mothers to have three or 'four husbands in the
