A SLIGHT MISTAKE.
BY CIPIIICS
, --
One cool afternoon, in the early fall, I
Chester F. Leßoy, a gentleman--etood on
the platform of the Albany depot, watching
the procession of passengers just arrived in
the Hudson ricer boat., who defiled past me
on their way to the ears. The lioeton train
by which I had come, waited patiently as
steam and fire might, for their leisure, with
only occasional and faint snorts of remon
strance at the delay; yet still the jostling
crowd hurried past into the ears, and flitted
through them in search of seats. Their in
creasing numbers at length wwned me that
I might find it difficult to regain my own,
and I fi)llowed them.
" I beg your pardon, sir."
I turned, in obedience to a touch on my
arm, and saw a respectable-looking negro
man before me, who bore the traveling bag
and shawl, and was, evidently, the attendant
of a slender and stylish yours g girl behind
him. "Do I speak," he said, bowing re
spectfully, and glancing at the portmanteau
I carried. on which my surname was qu ite
legible, " do I address, sir, Mr. Leßoy I'
" That is my acme—at your service--what
can I do for yon?"
The young lady, whose dark blue eyes had
been sem ling me, as I could perceive through
her blue now lifted it with an ex
quisitely gloved little hand, and extended
the other to me. with a charming mixture of
frankness at d
"I am %ery glad to meet you, Mr. Leßoy,"
"said she. " I thought I should know you in
a moment, Jenny described you so accurate,
Is. How kind it was of vou to offer to take
charge of me. I hope I ;Min% trouble you."
In the midst of my bewilderment at being,
thus addressed by the sweetest voice in ate
world. I managed to sec that 1 must make a
proper reply. and proceeded M stammer out
what I thought an appropriate speech, when
the servant, who had left Ui for a moment,
returned, and I abandoned it unfinished.
" Uid you see my baggage, Edward!" ask
ed his mistress.
" les, Miss ; it is all on."
Tien you had Letter hurry to reach the
seven o'clock boat. Goud bye, tell them you
saw me safely uff.".
I stood like 012 C in a dream, while the man
handed me two Checks for the trunks and en
trusted me with the light baggage he had car
ried; but I was aroused by the young lady's
asking me if we lutd Letter nut secure our
seats in the cars, and answered by offering
her my arm. In ten minutes we were seated
side by side, and trundling out of Albany at
a rate that grew faster and faster.
I had now time to reflect, with that lovely
face opposite me, but where was the use.—
Some strange mistake had undoubtedly hap
pened, and I had evidently been taken for
another person of the same name; but how•
to remedy this now, without alarming the
innocent young lady in my charge, how to
find the right man, with the right name,
among several hundred people, and how to
transfer her, without an unpleasant scene and
explanation, to the care of some one whose
pet son was no less strange to het than mine!
While these thoughts whirled through my
bead, I happened to eneoanter those smiling
eyes tted upon me, and their open, ensue.
pteious gaze decided me. "I will not trouble
or distress her, by any knowledge of her po
sition," I concluded, " but will just do my
best to fill the place of the individual she took
me for. and oondaet her wherever she intends
to go; if I can only Hod where it is I" I turn
ed to her with au affmitatlen of ease, which I
was very far from feeling, and said, "It is a
long journey."
"Do you think eo? But it is.yery plea
ant, isn't it? Cousin Jenny enjoyed it so
much l"
" Ah, bullied V" •

the world to lir, in? Dear me! that Lshonld
have to tell herown husbani first. How we
shall laugh about it when we get there."
So it was to St. Louis we were going, and
was her cousin's husband. I never was so
thankful for two pieces of information in my
life.
"And how does Jenny look? and what is
she doing? and how is my thar Aunt Became
do tell me the news 1"
"Jenny," said I, inn.tering en' rage and
words, .• is the destret.t wife in the world,
you must. know,anty far t,),) WO of her scamp
Int tusbari&.-as Vs Ler laity, yowvlllll44lSA
pec:t me to say anyilyieg, for she al

" bravo i" said the pretty girl with &Asa
lieious smilo; "but about my dear AUCIOS rhea
antitank ?"
" Miss, I mean, of course, Mrs. Beman is
very well."
" Well !" said my fair questioner, regard
ing me with surprise, "I thought she had
not been well for a number of years!"
"I mean well for her," said I, in some
trepidation: "the air of St. Louis," (which
I have since learned is of the misty moirty
order) "has done her a world of good. She
is quite a different woman."
"I am very glad," said her niece. She re
mined silent for a few rnAments, and then a
glen of amusement began to dance in her
bright eyes.
"To think," said she, suddenly turning to
me with a musical laugh, " that in all this
time you had not once mentioned the baby."
I know I gave a violent start, and I /Mak I
turned pale. t After I had run the gauntlet of
all those questions triurephantly,as ',thought,
this new danger stared me iu the face.—
Bow was I ever to describe a baby, who had
never noticed one? My courage sank below
zero, but in some proportion the blood rose
tomy face, and I think my teeth fairly chat
tered in my head.
"Don't be afraid that I shell not sympa
thise in your raptures," contilued my tor
mentor, as I almost considered her. " I am
quite prepared to believe anything after Jen
ny's letter—you should see how she cares fur
him."
" Him !" Blessed goodness, then it must
be it bov !
"'Of course," said I blushing, and simmer
ing. but feeling it imperative to any some
thing. " we consider him the finest fellow in
the world ; bat• you might not agree with n.,
hod in order to leave your judgment unbiassed
I shall not deseribe him to you."
" Alt ! hut I know just how she looks, for
Jennie had nu such scruplos—so you may
spare yourself the habpiness, whichever it is
—but tell nie what you moan to call him 3"
"We hale not yet decided upon a name,"
I replied.
" Indeed! I thought she means to give
him yours?"
" The deuce she did 1" thought I. "No,
one of a name is waist it,a, family," / an
swered. .
The demon of inquiAtivenem that, to my
thinking, had instigated my fair companion,
heretofore, now ceaaell to possess her, for we
talked of various indifferent things, and I had
the relief of not being compelled to draw on
my imagination nt the expense of my con
science, when I gave the particulars of my
recent journey to Boston. Yes, I was far
from feeling at ease, for every sound of her
voice startled me with a dread of fresh ques
tions, necessary, but impossible to be answer
ed, and I felt a guilty flush stealing up my
temples, every time I met the look of those
beautiful blue eves.
It was late when we stopped for supper,
and soon after T saw the dark fringes of my
lair companion's eyes droop long and often,
and began to realize that she ought to be
asleep. I knew perfectly well that it was my
duty to offer her a resting place on my shoul
der, but I hardly had oeurage to ask that in
nocent face to lie on my are., which was not
as she thought it, that of a cousin and a mar
ried man. Recollecting, however, that it
was my duty to make her comfortable, and
that I could scarcely deceive her more than I
had already done, I proffered the usual civili
ty. She slightly blushed, but thanked me,
atistaccepted it by leaning her head slightly
against my shoulder, and looking up into my
eyes with a smile, said, "As you are my
cousin." Soon after, her eyes closed, and
she slept sweetly and calmly, as if resting in
security and peace. I looked down at the
beautiful Pico, slightly paled with filtig4e,
that rested agninev me, and felt liko a villain.
I dared not touch her with my arm, although
the bounding of the can jostled her rely
much. I sat remorseless until the sleeper
settled the matter by slipping forward and
awakening. She opened her eyes instantly,
and " It is no use for nie trying to
sleep with my . bonnet on," she said; "foiit
is very much in the way for me, and I Sin
sure it trouble* you." So she removed it,
giving me the pretty little toy, with its grate
ful ribbons and &wore, to put on the rack
above us. I preferred to hold it, telling her
it would be safer with me, and after a few
objections be safer
resigned it, being in truth too
sleepy to contest tho point; then tying the
blue silk veil over her glossy hair, she loan
ed against my shoulder and Arta. This time
when the motion began to shake and alma)!
her I stilled the reproacher of my conscience,
and passing my arm lightly round her slen- '
der waist drew her upon my breast, where
she lay all night. She slept the sleep of in
nocence, serene and peaceful. Lot it is need
less to say that I could nut close my eyes or
ease my Conscience. I could only gaze down
on the he.tutiful, still face, and imagine how
it would c.mfront me, if she knew what I was,
and how I had .deceived her, or dreaming
more wildly still, reproduce it in a hundred
scenes tlpirh I had never before paused to
imagine as the face of my to tr. I had never
loved, unless the butterfly lives of Saratoga 1 1
and Newport might be so dignified, and still
less had I ever dreamed or thought of marry
ing, even as a possibility and far-off contin
gency. Never before, I solemnly aver, had
I teen the woman whom I wished to make
my wife—never before had I so longed to
call anything my own, as I did that lovely
face lying on my heart 1 No, it was impossi
ble for me to sleep.
In the morning we reached Iluff.do, and
spent the day nt Niagara. It' I had thought
her lovely while 'leaping, what was she when
the light of feeling and expression played
over her, as she eloquently admired the
scene before as, or was even more eloquent
still. Ido not think I looked at the Cataract
as much as I lookEd st her, or thought tho
one creation more beautiful than the other.
She was now quite familiar with me, in
her innocent way, calling me "cousin Frank,"
and seeming to take a certain pleasure in my
society and protection. It was delightful to
be greeted so gladly by her, when I entered
the hotel parlor, to have her come forward
from the lonely seat where she had been
waiting, not unobserved or unnoticed, to re
ceive me—to have her hang on my arm i--•
look up into my (ace--tell me all her Hula
adventures alone, and chide me for leaving
her so long, (how long it seemed to me,) while
every word, look, and smile, seemed doubly
dear to me, became I knew the peeteritous
tenure by which I held mj right *k
She busied herself, too, while I was gone out,
with our joint baggage, and rummaged all
over her trunks to find a book whirl) I had
expressed a desire to see—she mended my
gloves. sewed tho band on my traveling cap,
and found my sear ease whenever I had lost
it, which wag about twenty times a dny,
•
hole she declared alnicst equalled her own.
Yong ago she had given over into my pnsses
"ion her elegant porte-monnaie, " with all her
money in it, which she wag bore she would
lose, as she could never keep anything," and
as she hod erderpj we to take out what wsi'
, nted ['or her traselin , l, trxiitln4e;, I opened
it with trembling hands when I was alone,
and examined the contents. There were, be
sides all the bank bills with vt hich she had
probably been Tarnished for her journey, and
which, with pious care, she had packed into
the smallest possible compass, as much gold
as her pretty toy could carry, a tiny pearl
ring, too small to fit any fingers but her's—
which I am afraid I kissed -6 card with her
name en it, and a memorandum in a pretty'
hand, }'No.—Olive street, St, Lillis," which
as I rightly conjectured, was the residence of
her cousin Jtnnie, whose husband I was a
very fortunate discovery for me. Indeed,
thus far, I had not yet found the 'cap of the
trnnsgressor hard, in external circumstances
at least, and when with her I forgnt every
thing tort her grace and beauty, and my firm
resolution to be no more to her than her cou
sin should be; but out of that charmed
'presence, my conscience made me misera
ble. ,
'ma lcko,lt?
I am afraid I must have sometimes betray
ed the conflicts of feeling I le n d, by my wan
ner; but who I was reserved and ocremoni
-0414 with her, eho always resented it, and
begged me so bewitchingly nut to treat her
80, and to caliber by her sweet name, " Flor
ence," that bad I dreaded as much as I long-
NI to do it, I could not have refused her.—
Btu' the consciousness that I was not what
she thought me, WI an imposter, of whom,
after our connectionliad ceased, and she had
discovered the deception practiced upon her,
she could think or remember nothing that
would, not cause unmerited self-reproach and
mortitlention, all innwent and trusting as she
was, this reflection. more than nny other, I
must Nnfess, and the knowledge of the esti
mation in which she would forever hold me,
after My imposition wus discovered, agonized
me, and I would have giteu all I posses
sed to own it to her and leave her sight at
once, though the thought of never seeing
her more was dreadful. But that could nut
be.
At last we reached St. Louis. ;Do I say
"at list?" When the sight of these spires
and gables warned me that my brief dream
of happiness was ot er, and that the, remorse
less reflections I had been staving off no long
were mow to commence in earnest, tle thougbt
of d:morning banishment from Florence was
dreadrul to me, and the time seemed to fly on
lightning winp as it dre,w nearer. She was
wil piety, amatissiallisha at my sadness and
alsten4a- uf'mind whet(' so near home and
Jennie. and when we eiitered the carriage
that was to convey us to our destination. I
had half a mind to make a cowarfllv flight,
rather than encounter the scorn sied disap
pointment of those blue eyes ; but I muster
ed courage and followed her in, 'giving the
address found in the porte-monnaie, which for
tunately, was the right one, to the driver.
" Ahnont home !" said she, turning her
bright face towards me—we were rattling op
the street and my time war short—" how can
you be to cool and quiet?r'
" Because, Miss Florence," I answered
" the , time has come in which I nicst con
fess to you that I have no more right in the
home to which we are hastening, than the
name by which you address m.?, and that my
onry claim to either. is that of an impostor
and deceiver."
Shei turned her lovely face, wondering and
puzzled. towards me.
Thank I:leaven, I did not yet read fear aid
aversion is it.
"Nu rightl no claim!" she repeated;
" what can you mean ?"
- I told her, frankly and fully the whole
truth, nearly.as I have set it down here, de
nying nothing, and ouncealing nothing, not
even the useless secret of my love fur her.—
When the beief recital was ended, we both
remained silent, but although she had hidden
her feat, I could see that she trembled vio
lently with shame and repulsion. The siglit
of her distress was agony to toe, and rtried
to say a few words of apology.
"You cannot blame me or hate me, Miss
Dundard, more than I hate orblame myself,"
I said, "for the distress I home so unwillingly
caused yon. Heaven knows that i(I accept
ed the charfp of so much inn a ce and
beauty too ltyhtly. I have heavil attoned
since, in having occasioned this suffering to
you, and my own punishmentis greater than
I can Lear."
The coach stopped as T Fpoke ; ate turned
toward me ea,*srly, her face bearing traces
of tea{
s, and said , in a low voice,
"Do not misunder3tand me if I was so
silent."
The coachman threw open the door. and
stood waiting. I was obliged to descend and
to assist her out. I hardly dared touch that
little hand, though it was for the b.st time,
but I watched her graceful figure with sad
distress. She west already recognized, for
the door of the handsome house before which
we stepped was thrown open, and a pretty
uman followed by a fine-looking black whis
kered gentleman, whom I supposed to be my
name.4ake, ru4il down tho steps. There
were fund exclainatiuns of astonishment and
pleasure, a cordial welcome, and scone rapid
questions to which Florence returned very
low and quiet answers, and quickly extica
ing herself from the confusion, presented me
as " Mr. Leßoy, your husband's namesake,
and the gentleman who kindly took charge of
me." 1 glanced er face to see if she was
mocking me, but it was pale and grave.—
Mrs. Le Rey opened her pretty eyes widely,
but was too well bred to express surprise,
and after introducing me" to her husband in
the same terms, invited me into the house.—
Hardly conscious of what I did, or anything,
except that I was still in the presence of
Florence, from whom I could not bear to
banish myself, I followed theta into a hand

conscience told me was the rheumatic aunt I
had so cruellj. belied. Floreose herself pre

my care, and the history of our journey, in

been 'a fellow passenger. When she had
ended, they all crowded about me, warmly

and -surprise, and fprdially invited me to re

" Mr. 1,0 Roy," she said, horridly, "I can

I see you do. If I was silent while you
83 humbly apologised fur the noble, ger.er-

I don't know what answer I made, fir the

for words, and the rapture of knowing, as I
looked down upon that lovely face that it was
out for the last time, quite took away the lit
