Undine was not more changed after she
had received her soul than was I at that
moment. It seemed that I, ton, had re
ceived, if not a soul, an elixir that had
tru f
transmuted mine fora gross and insensate
nature, to a higher e. And this alem
bic through which I ad passed, was 'Love.'
Hitherto, I had ignored its power; now, I
knew and welcomed it. I had always been
a believer in that doctrine which resolves
mankind into of ; I would not ac

ism, within whose charmed circle the pres
tige of wealth and rank huddles persons of
incongruous and opposite tastes, and who
like animals in seeking sustenance devour
each other. Nature is royal, and if she
separates us into elutes, and bestows regal
orders, raw shall demur? It is not the
outer, but the in er that stamps us.—
I believe also, in magne tic properties
of the soul which are itective police,
and with unerring accuracy single out ob
jects of love and hate ; I almost credited
the Eastern fable which declares that two
souls were always created, and sent out of
heaven together—a heavenly pair—but on
approaching earth they seperate, and en
teung into. mortal bodies, they work out
life's problem, each perhaps far from the
other, possibly never meeting on earth,
but each retaining through life the coun
terpart seal of the other, M : . i.

Believing this I had lived temy thirty
fifth year, seeking cottages or mansions,
wherever it might chance that I beheld
Eve's doughtlors, for my Ariadne ; but never
before this lied I heard the sweet voice
that was to lure me from the labyrinth to
the heights of joy. My heart palpitated
with surprise ; it knew its duplicate !
But it is unnecessary for me to describe
my emotions, and if it were they were too
sacred. I will go on to relate how—that
she might not suspect my vicinity—bow,

fearing that the sound of my boots would
alarm her ; and when I droned for dinner,
I shaved in cold water, which was my
abomination, because I knew whets blust

Before I seated myself in the salle de manger

Early that evening I took a station in
the Assembly rooms, which commanded a
view of the entrance, and after long and
faithfully watching my patience was re
warded. The florid figure of Lady -Pirey
appeared, and by her side was Miss Con
'yngham ; a gentleman of dubious aspect
accompanied them; a man with lightish
hair, and mouAtachos. and small eyes, the
light of which was nearly extinguished
beneath bushy eyebrow, I did not like
the expression of those green eves, it was
furtive, and seemed constantly looking
out for surprises; his manner was clearly
that of a man of the world. I knew that
it was Mr. C'onynghant, and my eyes soon
turned from him to the fair creature by
his aide. She wore a plain, white dress,
without other ornament than a bunch of
heather that fastened it at the throat ; her
countenance was pale and grave and she
stood in silent indifference, regarding the
gay scene about her, so unlike the silly
things who were fluttering their fans, and
arching their necks to show themselves
off.
I drew near, aad beard her refusing to

at the praises 1 bestowed upon my own
country. She had never traveled, and the
ondits of her countrymen had only excited
her curiosity with regard to us ;• now she
awoke to something like interest, especial
ly at my aneedotes of Andobon. I talked
of books, the arts and sciences She was
ready and fluent, showing not only a mind
of research, but of vigorous and independ
ent thought ; she did not hesitate to ex
press her opinions, however they might
clash with mine, and I could not avid see
ing, under all her gentleness and sweetness,
the true pluck of the Englishwoman. I
saw, also, or rather fancied 1 saw, a thirst
for change. I did not wonder that she had
not married ; her impassive nature, and
her indifference to please had preserved
her ; I even guessed Chat het fancy had
never been touched ; her clear eyes refuted
the suspicion. Too soonsEd Mr: Conynham
come round to us and I his daughter
and si.ster away, I followed Itkem, and sought
my own room where I tried to remember
the length of time I had been in Brighton,
—it seemed like two months, so much of
hope and fear had been , crowded into the
limits of a day. I had forgotten my illness,
and business seemed a subject I had been
acorainted with in some former phase of
existence.

of the ensuing week. I will only say that

—sometimes danced with her, and once
had the felicity of driving with her on the
cliffs. I had preserved the secret of the
ventilator, though in my own vindication 1
will state that I had Lever listened at it
since I had known my neighbors . I kept
my room in perfect quietudeland if I heard
voices in the adjoining room, I would go
out that I might not overhear the conver
sation; but there came a time, as I am
about to tell you, when I stayed. It was I
think about a week after my first acquaint
ance with the Conynghams through the
ventilator, that, as I sat busily answering
my Loudon correspondent, I became the
unwilling eaves-dropper to a violent alter
cation in the next room. I could not help
but hear it. Lady Gray was taking sides
with her niece against Mr. Conyngham ;
she complained bitterly enough of the
treattnent her sister's chill sustained from
an exacting father; he retorted by charg
ing her with duplicity, and his daughter
with disobedience, and declaring that in
this instance his authority should be
rre
spected b both of them. I found, as they
that it all hinged on Herr Von
olt's proposals; it seemed that he had
• •ti accepted for months by the father,
and still persisted in pressing his suit, not
withstanding the aversion of the ladies.—
"He wished to marry at once," so said Mr.
Conyngham ; "he was tired of angling af
ter a mere girt whose head was apparently
turned after a Yankee adventurer .'
I felt a buzz in my ear' lii I heard the
sneering reinark ; it was so then ; they had
understood my attentions. I heard Lady
Gray say. in reply ; "You are foolish, broth
er, to fancy such a thing ; and Bee- is too
sensible to encourage a stranger."
Bess said nothing, and I was startled to
hear the old gentleman say : "Look daugh
ter ! Von Holt is going to Dover to-mor
row, thence home to Holland • and I have
decided that you will go with him A
clergyman will come here to-night, !at
nine o'clock, to marry you ; we have made
our arrangements, you can now make
yours."
“I will try and do so. sir.” was the quiet
reply.
Mr. Conyngham continued to impress
upon his daughter that necessity alone had
thus hastened the marriage. and that they
must make the best of it. lie then went
out, probably to report to Vnn Holt
"What can you do dear Bess 7"
Lady Gray. so soon** he was gone
"tireat heavens! I don't know ; but I will
never, never marry that bad man."
-But how avoid it?"
'•1 must conceal myself until night come?
and Chen fly away somewhere."
"Yes, that is it, you must run off: I will
see that a carriage i: , in readiness, and my)
maid Betty shall go with you to Farnwell
depot, to take the train. You can both
go down to cousin Eghert's ; he will con
ceal you until this hurricane has blown
over."
"Yes, aunt," replied Bess, after a little,
"I think that is the beg way for me to
adopt in this emergency ; I thank you for
the help which I so much need."
"No thanks, darling, and the sooner it is
arranged the better ; I will go and see
about it."
Directly she left the room, I raised my
self upon the high chair by the opening in
the wail ; I was irresolute ; I hardly durst
look in, and, yet I must do it : I must let
her know that 1 had heard it all, and that
she had a friend to help her. I cautiously

into, and we met face to face. I bowed and
blundered ati"xtpology, about her being in
trouble, and—
"You need not proceed," she interrupt
ed quietly. "I presume you have heard
the wrangling from this room'• , She said
a quietly but with o face pale as snow.
-Yes, I heard it all, and I am _ready to
help you if it should cost my life; I would
give my life for yours."
She colored at my vehemence, and her
e) es were instantly suffused with tear,
Her emotion emboldened uu•,
"give me the right to protect you," I
cried, "the right to call you mine will for
ever place you beyond the power of th a t
man ; 1 cannot speak of myself, but what
ever you wi.411 to know of me, you can as
certain of Mr. Lovelace ; Lady - pay can

••Pray, sir, do not talk in that way." she
4a1.1, yet I saw she wit:. nut angry.
-No, 1 would not,'' I answered, ••I could

"Yes," she sad simply, but earnestly ; "I
too recognize the divine connection. but you
are mush. I dare not thus won fate. You

"No, no," I exclaimed ; "we shall never

"I expected as much," she said, sadly.
"lit) then gi c me tln right to take care

-Not now ; urge me no more."
"But will you decide to-day ? Meet me
on the beach, after dinner, and tell me there.
Promise to meet me'"
"Yes, I will go if lam not prevented I
must consult Lady Grey first."
She slimed down from the chair, and
was gone di a minute. I . did not finish
my letter that morning , but went out to
engage 'l% carriage and Four, and make oth
er preparations for a rapid lease-taking of
Brighton.
Bess met me, as she promised, on the
-beach. Lady Grey, whose presence I had
no reason to regret, was with her, and was
a strong advocate in my favor. She said
that we could not ever hope to change Mr.
Conyngitam's prejudices ; his daughter was
a minor, and still subject to her father's
control and disposal : and though die would
not advise ns, she yet would not withhold
her emsent, if we concluded to fly togeth
er. After saying go much, she „kindly
walked of, leaving me to urge my cause,
which was indeed her cause, also, with Bess.
I s uc c eeded so well that she promised to
marry me that night. The words had
barely escaped her lips when we met \'on
Bolt, who scowled upon me, and gave my
companion companion a glance of distrust
and displeasure. So soon as he was out of
sight, I left the ladies and hurried up the
flint* street to the parsonage. The old
clergyman was quite willing to come down;
he had already, he, said, promised to mar
ry a couple at No. 54 at nine o'clock, and
he could easily come down an hour earlier
to No. O. I designated my room as the
place to meet me ; but we had decided
that the ceremony should be
. performed in
lady Grey's parlor, a room adjacent to Kiss
Conynham's own. After concluding the ar
ran4etnenta with the clergyman and ob
taining a license, I hastened back to pre
pare my In , and send it.to the depot.
At eight o 'cl o ck lg everything on my wt
was ready, and I sat in the large arm chair
beneath the ventilator, waiting for the sig-
nal that would indicate that Mias Canyng
ban, was ready. Thitsignal did not mane,
but In its place I howl a low voice re

"I am locked in," she exclaimed In ter

informed my father, and he says thatlshall

Only one moment was I confounded, in
the next ane-xpedient occurred to me ; but
would Bess take advantage of it, that was
the question
"Wait a moment," I said, "until I write
a note to your aunt, Lady Grey." It was
written and sent ; and in five minutes La

"She can never do it," exclaiMed het
ladyship.
"She must," I firmly replied.
"Well, we will abide by her decision,"
she answered. I jumped up. and in half a
dosen words told Miss Conyngham of the
one hope remaining to us ; would she avail
herself of it 't
"Yes." was her quiet reply.
The word was no sooner spoken, than I
began to cut away with my knife, a piece
of the pennel of the door, in which revolv

was soon removed, and the ventilator free
of incumbrance. I reached my arms
through, whispering to the t•embling vic
tim to come at once. She sprang up with
out hesitation, and in five minutes she was
safely by my side. I gave her a glass of
wine, and then hastened to put back the
window in its place, that the vacuum might
not excite suspicion.
Bess had but a short time to compare
herself before the clergyman entered. Ho
began the ceremony directly, and I w.t..
soon the husband of the loveliest girl in
the world. As I was paying my five pound- i
marriage fee, I heard a door unlocked in
the adjoining room, and a loud exclama

wait for the denouncement, but hurriedly

day I hold in reverence the ventilator, for
by what other wily could my Wife have come
