Have you never observed that certain shops seem to have been taken at along lease by Failure, and underlet to unfortunate specula tors, who struggle for a little while to estab lish a business, and then suddenly vanish ? No. 10 Dreary Street, Bedford (Square, held this unsatisfactory position in the world of trade. It had been a grocery for three months when creditors came and removed the stores, leaving, nothing behind but a mixed smell of tallow • and molasses. A watchmaker had teed to establish himself there, but his strong est magnifying glass, though ever glued told() eye, failed to detect a customer, and no sound was ever heard in his shop but the tic—the tic douloureux—of his merchandise. Of course his affairs were soon wound up. Then a crinoline merchant made an indelicate exhi bition of feminine undergarments, without, however, adding to the bustle of the estab lishment. It was now devoted to refresh ment, but stomachic puffs tempted the passers by as little as the dorsal had done ; ginger beer ruled flat, lemonade tvos a drug, buns were heavy, and poor Annie Johnstone found the problem of keeping the wolf from the door —the wolf which no king or parliament can extirpate—more dillicult to solve daily. She sat behind her little dingy counter writing a letter, with but small chance of a customer coming in to interfere with the work of com position. " DEAR I:Nl'i.y. WILLIAM ' —Papa told me I was never to apply to you, because you had helped hint once, and had refused to (It) so again, and you were displeased because we tried to keep a shop, which indeed has been a very lame attempt, for there is no chance of the ship's keeping its. disobey Wm now, because I do not know what else to do. I have not seen or heard of papa for five clays, and almost fear that something may have happencd to hint. though he often has tic hide fair a little time, because of creditors ; for he has not been much more successful in getting to sell coal or wine on commission, or as an agent for insurance companies, thanj have been as a confectioner, and he has not brought me any money now for a long time. Ile hinted to me that he might go abroad, but I hardly think he would have done that without letting me know ; and yet he was always MO afraid'of his letters being stopped, and helping people to trace him, that he may have done it. If the rent is not paid by Monday, I shall be turned out of the house ' and then what ant 1 to do? You see, dear Uncle William, I am obliged to write to you, because I have no one else to ask ; and if you will not put me in the way of earning my living somehow, I must positively beg, and that would be even more discreditable than selling, or trying to sell, pastry, wouldn't it ? It really is not my fault ; I have tried my best, and dined on stale lams for days and days. " Your affectionate niece, " ANNIE JOHNSTONE." She directed this letter to " John stone, Esq.. Jost: Ilium , Villa. Southend," and Mid it on the counter before her just as a. cus• tooter came in,—a very young man, with very shiny boots and hat, brilliant gloves. and a natty umbrella, who saluted on entering in a manner not customary amongst Englishmen, who generally remain covered in a shop, how ever attractive of it the mistress may be.

I do not deny that the more etherint kiss may he the correct .sigi(ium amens, but every earner of the shop was visible front the street, and as for asking her lover into the back-par lor while her hither was absent, Annie was far too correct a girl to think of such a thing, and, indeed, Master Ned had not the impu dence to hint at all invitation of the kind be ing welcome. So they ratified their engage ment with oysters and porter seated opposite to each other at a little round marble-topped table; and when the meal was concluded, they felt as it' they hod been acquainted for months. On returning so late to the office the day beftfre, Neff Whiston had been subjected to troublesome questioning as to what Be had ' been doing with himself all the time, so he j took care In leave early to-day, announcing his intention of returning at the same hour on the morrow. DM on the following morning he was sent off to Chester with certain important deeds. That was on Thursday, and- he did not get back till Saturday night ; and as he lived at home, some lilt een miles out of town with ob r servant relat ves, he could not get away on the Sunday without exciting awkward curi osity ; su that it was not till luncheon time on Monday that he entered Dreary Street with a throbbing heart. 'rite shutters were up at No. 10. l'oor Ned felt for a moment as if his j heart and longs had struck work.. Was she dead ? Ni).. no, impossible. Her father, per haps ; he had disappeared suddenly, and might Lave committed suicide. The idea of disturb ing a recent sorrow made him drop the Itch handle without. ringing, and look round for a place for information.

" Yes," replied the man ; " the father's drowned, and the daughter's hooked it, and I am done out of my rent,—that's what has happened." - tO Jersey and he Iturriod to London at once, and brought Annie to his Chinese home with despatch and secrecy. " I am glad to adopt I you, my dear;" he said ; " b - ut 1 do not want to adopt all your creditors." It had been a struggle to Mr. Johnstone to break up the ordinary routine of his existence by establishing his niece as mistress of what had now for years been a bachelor home ; but it almost always pays to do the right thing, and he was rewarded for his conquest of habit and indolence by being released front the thrall of his housekeeper ' tyranical, stupid, pilfering, tipping dame, to whom lie had not dared to mention Iris intentions with respect to Annie, which indeed had front the circum stances of the case been necessarily conceived and executed very suddenly, and upon whom this niece of her master's (term of courtesy) burst therefore like a thunderbolt front a clear sky. As Annie was very young and quiet in manner, Mrs. Gobble lobed at first, indeed to overawe her, but soon finding that she bad met her match, her emotions . because to much for her, and, combined perhaps with an Juju , dieious amount of nourishment, brought her gout to such climax that she could not even play at doing her work, and had to retire. Annie's society had one curious effect upon her uncle : it resuscitated all his hankerings after a second marriage. For if he was to have a lady at the head of his house, why, he reasoned with himself,•slifiuld it not tie a wife? So a flirtation which had been budding be tween Mr. Johnstone and Miss numptree of Southend, fur the last three years began to throw out decided shoots. It wits not so very absurd. Mr. Johnstone,was a little over six ty, and Miss Plumptree was a little over forty. Both were comfortably oil; and calm and sober leanings towards matrimony. Miss Pluratree was not only forty but fair and fat—just such a figure its the monarch of Mr. Johnstone's soul would have admired ; and this fact ten ded greatly to teed the mature flame. Then there was increased intimacy, for whereas he had occasionally before his niece came to live with him, he now saw her almost.- daily, a fervant friendship having sprung up between her and Annie. They were silting togetlier in a willow-pat tern summer house, nil the brink of a man pond, the lair of a dragon who Was supposed to spout, butt who followed the example of many gentlemen who are elected into a cer tain House for a similar purpose, and didn't. It was in the strawberry sehson and a tine dish of the fruit stood on the table between them, with which, needlework and confiden tial chat, they were beguiling the morning hours not unpleasantly. "And ito you have never heard of hint since?" said Miss Plumptree. " Never, — replied Annie. "Just like all the men, dear: 'Out of sight, out of sound.' " " Nay Ido not blame him, poor fellow. I do tint see how he could have found me out, if he tried ever so notch, I left so suddenly, so mysteriously." „ 0, well." sighed Miss Plumtree, "if he had been his great-grandfather, he would have discovered you somehow ; but yisung men are not what they were ; they are selfish, listless, everything is too much trouble for them. And you never hinted anything about it to your uncle." "O, no," said Annie, "besides he doel not take hints ; you must speak plainly if you want hint to understand your wishes. " Ilum," said Miss Phuntree. " And then," continued Annie, "lie was so sung and not in position to marry for ever sit long ; and the acquaintanceship was so short; and his friends would be sure to disapprove ; so that altogether, perhaps,.it is better us it is." " And do you still love hies, dear ?" "I think I do; he Nvas kind, you see, whei Lad no one else, and—'' "There don't cry dear. Have a straw berry ?" Annie recovered her equilibrium, and turned the subject. " I can't think what has hap pened to uncle William," she said ; he takes such rt funny interest in how 1 looked all of a sudden, lie takes in a paper with the fash 'ions in it, and stands looking critically at me with his head on one side, and his eyes screw ed up, for minutes together ; and then he walks round me gravely, as though I was • a horse : indeed, 1 expect hint to say, "come up ; tuck, tuck ; come over !" every moment, or t,, I , n , h in my onth. And If my hair is done, or m dress ' cut according to the fashion plates, he scolds me. And then he takes me over to Bouthend whenever he hears that: a packet is coming in, and walks one up and down that long pier. And he is alway on the lookout for concerts or entertainments of any kind that we can go to. Can you explain it , " " I think I can give a guess," said Miss Plumptree ; " in fact, I expect that 111 V little ence may have something; to do with it. The plain truth is, my•dear, that he wants to get you married." No I" cried Annie, with a jump. "But he told me distinctly, when I first came here, that, though I might expect to lie provided for in his will. I must not look for any dowry, or even much of a trossean, in case I were to marry • awl that did not look like very anxiety on the subject." "No, dear ; but his views have underdone a change. The fact is, that he does your hum ble servant the honor to wish—" "Oh, and you will take him, won't you it will he so nice to call you aunt, 'anti have living in the house !"' cried Annie enthusias tically. Well dear," continued Miss Plumping. " it scented to mite that the opportunity was a goo d on e f or a dvancing your interests, so refused to give him a definite answer while you were unsettled ; not but that I would sooner lane you for a companion, of course ; but it does not do to be sithish and as your in clintal to be what we may call careful in his money matters, which is often the case with those who have been somewhat extravagant id youth, I thought a little stimulant to his gen erosity would be beneficial. flush, Lure he conies. Can anything be the matter This possibility was suggested by Mr. Johnston's.face and manner, the former be ing bewildered, the latter hurried and excited as he came towards them from his loss Iltaise with an open letter in his hand. Something the matter'.' Indeed, there was . ; nothing less than a thread of losing his late wife's property, and being reduced once more to the straits which had driven hint into pre mature matrimony thirty years before. one of those Doctors' Commons grubbers, who live by holding out that they have discovered something to sonwhody's advantage,—which generally turns out to be a fraudulent mare's nest, but every now and then—just often enough to tempt fresh flocks of gulls—proves to be a discovery of real importimce had fished up eveidence the late Johnstone had by rights only a life-interest in her first laushand's property ; and having thereupon discovered the person, who under such circumstances, would be the claimant, he had put himself into communication with him. Said claimant proved indeed to be in the legal profession. which was a disappointment for this grubber ; but'as there was really something in the evidence lie had lit upon, his time was not entirely thrown away. This was the startling information which was conveyed to Mr. Johnstone In the hard, sharp words of a lawyer's lett erond which he now communicated in his distress to Miss Plumptree and Annie. They cheered him with sanguine speeches ; and when he had gathered his wits together, hestarted for Lon don to seek an interview with his solicitor. That gentleman informed him that there seemed to lie really something in the claim which was set up, but that it would take a deal of legislation to prove it, and, so far as he could see, it was odds on the man in pos session eventually winning the day, but still, if an advantageous compromise were to be suggested, it might be as well to lake it into consideration. So Mr. Johnstone took to walkiag for hours about the garden of doss Ilouse Villa with Ids eyes bent on his toes, and his hands clasped behind his back, lost in thought, and mutter ing at intervals, "Advantageous compro "Use." He was accustomed to spread a silk pocket handkerchief over r ids head after dinner, and take forty winks,—at the rate of one wink to two minutes; but his Slumbers now were strangely disturbed. lie would turn and mut ter, and his mutterings, to the, excitement of Annie's curiosity, invariably formed some part of the words " Atkantageous compromise.!". 111.-TIIE AIIVANTAGEOUS COM PROMISI.
