- ure, f ew days ago, to
meet unexpeeteilly, a friend, from whom. I
t•gui beefi'manyyears separated. We had
ueen_ mostly educated together, having pass
ed our boyhood at the same school v, our
youth at the same university: but our for
tunes were different. He, born to wealth,
left college to mix with the world at home
and abroad; while I turned to the profession
I had long since made choiee.of, and began
.to lag my weary way towards independence.
We were both a good deal changed. My
friend ha 4 lost much of the gay buoyancy
of manner; much of the merry, happy, care
less How of spirits for which he had once
been remarkable. I was less grave than I
had been reckoned during our former ac
qilaintance:' m it man-of-busine- ftnf+
married. We had much to say of the dif
ferent chances that had occurred to us; and
I found, that ttiough altered in manner, in
habits, and in character, we met the same
to each other as we had parted.
It was getting late in the day, and I ask
ed my friend it he would go home to the
small house I occupied,and dine quietly with
my wife and me. He agreed instantly,
shook hands with me in his ow, lively way,
as he thanked me for asking him, and we
turned into the street in which I lived. I
must own I felt some little uneasiness at the
thoughts of introducing my friend to my
wife. I had often spoken of him to her,
and I dreaded, lest she should not find the
portrait faithful. In fact I mistrusted in
own judgment till it should be confirmed by
hers; not that in words she would tell me
that we diflbred,. bfit I knew her too well in
look and manner to be deceived. I did not
feeLquittLeasy_6tner at the idea of present
lag My Mend. His admiration would in no
degree alter my sentiments tuwqrds her; lint:
I felt I should ha ill satisfied unless he
thought her, in the course of one short eve-_
onig, all
_I had found her during tlig three
happy years of our union. MN heart beat
as I ran up the steps. I colored as I pulled
the bell. The door, was opened by our
only man-servant, and I myself ushered my
friend up stairs.
My wife was dressed with extremoveat
ness, though she expected we were to dine
alone; -and she was sitting as Usual, at her
Work-table, when the sound of my step upon
the stairs made her raise her head. She
came fiwward to. meet. me; and when I nam
ed my friend, she turned to welcome him
with a grace and gayety that made lifin
sure of his reception. She placed hilin be
side her 1m the sofa, and I was soon at ease
to first impressions. • - _We_bad not_ far to go
to dinner.. The Rower part of the — house
being occupied by my chambers of business,
our public rooms are confined to a small
drawing room on the first floor, and a still
smaller library opening out of it. 'ln this

gan to rally us upon our way of life, and he
tried to persuade her that, in former days, I
had played the inconstant among our circle
of beauties, being fund to admire, and fickle
to change. I saw that in his then mood it
were vain for me to dispute his assertions;
.-
so to divert the time, and, may he, to prevent
my wirefroni
- thinking of any other:, I plead
ed giiilty to. one serious attachment, and of
ared to tell my story.
"Soin.years ago," said I, "when it first
became the fishion to take shooting quarters
in the Highlands, I formed one of a large
party who had engaged an extensive tract of
moorland fir the season. The ganie keeper
and the dogs were sent off early in July, and
it was settled we were all to dine together
at the farm-house we
,rented with the ground
upon the 10th of August. My friends agreed
to proceed northwards in a body; but as I
dislike exceedingly travelling in that sort Of
company, I declined forming one of it, and
set out by myself, some weekslyefore,, orrri
:tour through a range of my native country
I had never yet seen."
At this part of my. story my wife laid
down her work, and - looked up anxiously in
my face, I smiled and proceeded.
"After an interesting and somewhat fa
tiguing, journey, I arrived early on the morn
ing of the 10th of August, at one of the prin.
1 cipal towns of the north Highlands. It was
. market day, and the streets were filled with
well-dressed people, thronging in every di
rection. Several handsome equipages were,
driving along the crowd, while genthimen on
horseback arid foot passen , ers picked their
way carefidly through the greripS Of country
people and their wares, who stopped every
regular passage. I alighted at a very cow
-1 fortable inn, and having ordered some re
freshment, I sat down very contentedly to
look over a newspaper which lay upon the
table of the parlor -I had been shown into,
- Trirvi-q-cittrriettr Az ttririttmelity-kett4l 3 - m v eyes
fell.lipon a mirl i rdr, which hung upon the op
posite wall, between the portraits of (_ cue
ral Washington and Mr. Pitt, I was struck
with horror at my own appearance.• Hasti
ly ringing for the waiter, I inquired whether
there were itriy - hiriniresserin - the town. -on
whose skill I might rely. I was told I was
within a few doors of the first artist in the
county. A man don't like to trust his heat%
to a bungler; but the first step in Mr. Blank's
shop convinced me the. waiter had not been
wrong in his assertion. When the operation
was over - ; iiiiiey tii - s - iiy — peiltiir.fi - mui,ii — wii;
isfiiction in a small hand glass, obligingly
held to me for that purpose; but not feeling
myself at liberty. to indulge_rny,eenternta r ,

tion so publicly, I returned as quickly as p -
sible to my hotel, to consult at leisure the
mirror, which hung upon the opposite wall,
between the portraits ofGeneral Washington
and Mr. Pitt. I was perfectly enchanted
with my.good mein. I was' cut and curled
in the most becomincr b manner."
Here my wife laughed aloud; niy friend,
too, smiled; but I took no notice of their inter
ruption. ,: •
"The inn stood hack from flier street; in a
large court-yard, the projecting walls of
which, on each side, prevented any view be-

people were constantly passing. I sat down
at the open window of my parlor to watch
the various groups th t s flitting hethre me.
One, in_partieular, at ce engaged my at

grey, a child in a frock and trowsers, a young
lady in Whitey with pink upon her lionnet, and
a:captain of a recruiting company quartered
in the town. He was apparently saying
something eXtremely amusing, tbr the young
lady was laughing violently; and looking up
in her mirth, she threw on me, he 1 sat perch
ed at my window;-a--pair of the most beauti
ful black eyes I had ever then seen. I fan
cy mine must have told her so, Ow she • had
not gone many steps before she raised those
eyes again. Again they met mine, and this
time, we both blushed. She hers
quickly, and turned to the recruiting officer:
he bowed as in the act of speaking.
The lady in grey appeared to join in the
conversation, and they all walked leisurely
on -towards the projecting wall. Will she
look up again! I pushed my well curled
head as far as I possibly could out Of the
window. She held hers, I thought, reso
lutely down. I followed Them with my•
eyes, as they stepped along across the
p ivement. They reached the wall. The
little child ran quickly Out of sight. The,
lady , in grey was half concealed,. The
young lady returned to reply to some gal
lantry of the recruiting. officer, and once
more her eyes were fixed on Mine, In
another moment she was gone. I drew
my head in - hastily, flung my hands before
my face, to exclude all light, and again in
fancy, those beautiful eyes beaming
,bright
ly upon me. After a few minutes I looked
up. Crowds of gay paesengerestilt.moved
on the pavement beloW and talked, and
laughed, and looked, as they passed me.—
.Will she come ' again?' -I. took • out. my
watch, it Was only three o'clock. Again 1
glanced at the projecting wall, and I follow
ed, - eagerly, each succeeding. group,. as
they emerged from behind it.. Many 'a
'voice-deceived me as it approiC 4d. Many
a, party turned,the.corner to disappoint me.
Four o'clock: she will
,not come. I rose
from the 4in6w in - despair.: As I ! stood,

rested my attention. There was a laugh,
and a stamp and jingling poise, and the end
of a sword.scabbard pointed out beyond the
wall. It was the recruiting officer. ' Did
he come alone? The little child ran for
ward; the lady in grey put out a toot; and
again the eyeS from the pink bonnet sought
the window. We blushed crimson - . The
young lady turned to her never filing re
source, the recruiting officer, I darted for
ward, seized toy hat, rushed down Stairs,
and followed her. They had reached the
hairdresser's shop, and they had stepped
before it to examine some of his curiosities.
The lady in grey too the little child by
the hand, and walked on. The yoUng lady
prepared to follow her; but as she moved
away% sne cast one glance towards the
window of thet , iim: it was quite deserted.—
I ne4er stirred nor spoke, but I saw from
her heightened color she was aware who
stood beside her.' She held a small nose
gay in her hand. She began to pull to
pieces the flowers which composed it, and
she scattered the leaves upon the pavement.
I stopped to gather them. _ A carria,:,

obliged to move her own etlicts shortly after

it struck the mind of one of the neighbors
that if this person had it, he might be so

was given out, that unless thisphioney was re
stored, resort would be had the next day to a
certain person in the vic inity, (who had ob
tained some notoriety as being divined in the
