The 10 15 train glided from Paddington, May

first-class carriage were four passengers;, of
these, singularly enough, two were worth des

presently our Captain looked out of the win

look from Miss Haythern. qiVe aro only a
mile from the Box Tunnel."—" Do you always
laugh a mile front the Box Tunnel ?" said the
Invatinbly."
"What for?"
.• Why! hem! it is a gentleman'S joko."
" Oh ! I don't mind its being silly if it makes
me laugh." Captain Dolignan thus encourag
ed,tTecounted to Miss Haytborn the following:
" A lady and her husband: sat together going
through the BOx Tunnel—there was one gen
tlemeti-opposite, it-was pit'et dark; after the
tunnel, the Indy said, 'Cleorgo,„how absurd of
you to salute me going through tho tunnel.'—
' I did no such thing V---t),:ou didn't No !
why ?" Why, because somehow I thought you
did!' Here Captain D,pligrinn laughed, and
endeavored to lead hid companion to 'laugh,
but it was not to be done. The train entered
the tunnel. .

There was a sound of hurried whispers, the
door was shut and the blind pulled down with
hostile sharpness.

Into eouuds in a "dialogue as above, I answer,
with all the insolence I can command at pre

perhaps, such as Sophooles, Euripides, and
Aristophanes; they begno it, and I learned it

Miss Ilaythorn's scr..ibit--lost part of its ef
fect because the engine4thistled forty thous
and murders nt the same moment; and ficti
tious grief tqgkes ibielf:lteerd when real'ean
not.
Between the tunnel and Bath our young
friend had time to ask himself whether his
conduct had been marked by that delicate
reserve which is supposed
~ to distinguish the
perfect gentleman.
With a long face, real or feigned, he held
open the door,—his late friends attempted to
esenpe on the other side,—impossible ! they
must pass him. She whom he hod- insulted
(Latin fdr kissed) deposited somewhere at his
foot a look of gentle blushing reproach ; the
other, whom he had not insulted, darted rod
hot daggers at him from her eyes, and so they
parted,
It was, perhaps, fortunate for Dolignan that
he had the graco to be friends with Majoi
Iloskyns, of his regiment, a veteran laughed
at by the youngsters, for the Major was too
apt to look coldly upon billiard balls and cig
ars; he had seen cannon balls and linstccks ;
ho had also, to toll the truth, swallowed a
goo I bit of the mess-Loom poker, but with it
some sort cf moral — Mer,which made it as
impossible forjilajor Ifoskyns to descend to an
ungentleman-liko' word or action, as to brush
his own trowsors below the knee.
Captain Dolignati told this genOeman his
story in gleeful accents; but Major Hoskins
heard him coldly, and as coldly answered that
he had known - aman lone his life for the same
thing;"'!'hat is nothing," continued the Ma
jor, hut unfortunately ho desersod to lose
it."
At this the blood mounted to the young
retires temples, end his senior added, "I mean
to eey he was thirty-five, you, I presume, aro
tiienty-one!"
" Twenty-fivo."
" That is much the Same thing; will you be
advised by me ?" '
"If you will advise me."
"Speak to no-one of•this, and send White
the £3, that hci'may think you have lost the
het."
" That is hnrd when I won it I"
"Do it for 11 thnt, Bir."
Let the disbelliciers in human perfectibility
know that this dragoon, Capable of a blush, did
this virtuous action, albeit with violent relee
tenet., and this was his firer damper. A week
after these events, he was at a ball, not the
first, since llis return, bias entendu. lie was

in vain, for - a lady, equal in personal attrao=
tions to the idea ho had formed of George Do
lignan as a man, when suddenly there glided
peat him tomcat delightful vision! a lady whose
beauty and symmetry took him by the eyes—
another look: " It can't he I"—" Yes it is I"
Miss Haythorn ! (not that he knew her name!)
but what an apotheosis I •.
The duck had become a pea-hen—radjant,

her. lie found her again. She was so lovely

was clear she never would see him ono gen•

" Who was this man I" "and what right had ho

it, but ho felt that somehow the rights of pro

out who this beauty was,—ho never could en
counter her agtdn. At last he heard of her ,in
this way.; a lawyer's clerk paid him a little
visit, and commenced a little action against
him, in the name of 'Miss Ilaythorn, for insult
ing her in a railway train. •:
The young gentleman was shocked, endea
voured to soften the lawyer's clerk ; that ma

term. The lady's name, howevei) was at least
revealed by this untoward incident; from her
name to her address was but a short step; and
the same day, our crest-fallen hero lay in wait
at her door—and many a succeeding fix} , win.•

forth quite naturally, as if she did it every
day, and walked briskly on the nearest Parade.
Dolignan did the same, he met-and passoff her
manydimes on the Parade, and searched for
pity in her oyes, but found neither look, nor
recognition, nor any dther sentiment; for 'all'
this she walked and walked till all the other

disowned his acquaintance. He blushed, stam
mered out how ashamed he was, how he'cleser
ved to bo punished, how he was punished, how
little she knew how unhappy he was ; and con
cluded by begging her not to let all the world
know the disgrace of a man, who was already
mortified enough by the ..lava of her acquain
tance. She asked an explanation; he told
her the action had been commenced in her
name; she gently shrugged her shoulders, and
snick," How stupid they are." Emboldened by
this, he begged to know whether or not a life
of distant unpretending devotion would, after
a lapse of years, erase the memory of his mad
ness—his crime!
" She did not know—!"
"Sho must now bid hitri adieu, as alio had
some preparations to make for a' ball in the

where everybody was to be. He was there,
and after some time_ho obtained an introduc

Her manner was gracious. With the wonder

night, for the first tirop, Dolignan wus in love..

THINGS IN LONDON.
The . following is • an intereiding account of
the Omnibuses, the Smithfield Market, and
some other matters in and near the metropolis
of Great Britain:
"Bank! bank I" is the cry that salutes the 'I
foot passengers at the corner of nearly every
street. This emanates from the omnibus dri-
I Nora and conductors. In the morning these
•
vehicles go nt a break neck pace down to the
city, carrying the business men to their offices,-
The two groat thoroughfares through which
these vehicles pass are Oxford street nod the
Strand.. They commenced running at eight
o'clock in the morning, and continued until
midnight. Most of them have two charges,
fourpenee and sixpence. For a stranger it is
a difficult matter to find the omnibus that'will
take him to any particular spot.ho -wishes to
go, they are so covered with-names cf places
and advertiarnents ; the windows are .always
up, or closed, and used to paste cards of vari
ous firms on. There is room for twelve per
sons inside and ten outside ; four of these set
with the driveiL this is considered the most
desirable part of the " base ;" and it is so with
truth, as yon,,are above everything, and have
a fine view of the bustle, excitement and con
fusion that is going en around. - •
Iris quite interesting to get next to 'coachy,
and draw him into conversation. - The drivers
of the London " buses" are probably the best
'whips' in the world; they acquire great dex
terity, and drive by their box seats, which,pro
ject over the side far enough toolbar the wheel.
The conductors stand on a high stop on the
back of tho omnibus to the left of the door;
from their position they are enabled to see all
that is going on in front and behind; they area
continually on the alertlcir passengers, and
lose no time in getting them out or in. When
a person gets in they throw the door too;
this is heard by the driver, who starts on.—
The result Of this id, that the new-comer, if
he is.not an adept at this business, ,finds,him
self landed backwards into somebody's lap ;
but this makes no difference—the driver does
not core, and the conductor not•lose any
time for fear the opposition-line-will get ahead
of him. The horses are changed every-trip,
so they are enabled to driye them as fast as
they choosti.
The omnibuses now running number about
3000, at a cost of £lOO per omnibus, making
£300,000; each hoe ten heroes, the value of
these is £OOO,OOO. It has been calculated that
the number of persons Who 'annually ride in
these conveyances amounts to three hundred
millions, an amount equal to one-third the
population of the world. Eleven thousand
men are employed, and working a capital of
£1,700,000, and paying to the revenue a duty
of £lOO,OOO. The drivers and conductors
have to Work very hard; they hare no time to
themselves, but 20 minutes aro allowed for.
dinner. When they proposed for higher wages,
they wore compelled to hold their meetings
after 12 o'clock at eight. . •
How often do you read of " Lloyd's ?" and
how many persons ask what it means.? It is a
familiar abbreviation of the important society
of under-writers meeting at Lloyd's Subscrip
tion Coffee House. They occupy two suites of
rooms- in the Royal Exchange—one is open to
the public, and the other reserved for subscri
hers.,., The Society - has agents in all theyrin
cipal ports of the world ; and through their
means the commercial and shipping intelli
gence is published daily. On entering the
public room, the first thing that strikes your
eye is a large book in which is 'written tho
news of the arrival or, departure of any vessel
at the port of London .or Liverpool ; also, the
accounts of any' shipwrecks that may have oc
curred. Fresh items are put in the book im
mediately upon their reception by telegraph.
Arouud the room aro many small tables, on
which may be found papers from all quarters
of the globe. J
Lost Monday morning I visited Smithfield
Market. This is the great cattle market of the
Inetropolis. In a-space of-not more• than five
acres, 20,000 beasts are sold monthly. It is
necessary to rise about four o'clock in the •
morning to see it properly. The cattle market
is held on Monday ,and Friday, and for hay and
straw during the remaining days of the week.
All sales.take place by commission. and the
money transactions are estimated at £700,000
annually. Tho oily receives a toll upon every
beast exposed to sale of two cents per head,
and of sheep, at four ,cents per seep. The
total produce to the corporation is from $25,- .
000 to $30,000 a year.
Smithfield salesmen estimate the weight of
cattle by the eye, and from constant practice
approach sonear to exactnqps, that they are
aeldom-ino&then a few pounds at faUlt. The I
are always for cash. No paper is passed,
but wh r eit the bargain is struck, the buyer and '
seller elnike hands and close the sale. The
market commences at 11 o'clock on .Sunday
night. It is almost in the centre of the oily.
Many attempts have been made to have it re
moved; but such is the obetinate.•adherenee ,
to all nneient customs, they have as yet proved
unsuceassful, 'as' salesmen continue to drive
their cattle to the favdrite looality..,,Bear in
mind you- must leave your bed at' an early
hour, as the effect is vary curious to see the
butchers and 'talesman with torches, driving
the anitnahrnbont, and peeking them into pens.
R. is all over by nine o'olook in the morning.
Among the places of interest to bti mention
ed In this city are . the , " Tower," and " St.
Paul's Cathedral." But what onn be written
about them that is not known ? Very little,
if anything. Let us take one or two, tripe out
,
of London to pikes near, "-
A friend and myself drove out to Blelanond,
distance-nine - and a half miles from Londou.
We stopped at the Star and' Garter; and took
lunch. When Louis Philippe was in England,
lie lived at this hotel,*and "paid the landlord
$95,000 a month for lodging'' and serving the
dinner& It is mid that so expensive were tho

meals ho ordered, and for' so many, 'that the
proprietor lost money on that amount. The
slow from the terrace is celebrated ell over
Great Britain es - being the finest that is to be
tied in the United Kingdom, and I think not
undesemmdly so. k ride in the Pork—which
ox`tonds thirteen miles around, and in which
are, 3.000 deer—is very pleasant.
A little further on is shown the house 6
which Popo resided—and three and a half
miles distant is Hampton Court Palace. It
occupies eight acres of ground, and the walk's
in the garden, .wilderness' and palace, - are
about three miles in extent, The palace wits
built by Cardinal Woolsey, the favorite of
-Henry VIII. It was commenced about 1616.
When finished, it was so' magnificent in style
that it began to excite envy at court. The
King, therefore, took occasion to question the
'Cardinal as to his intentions in building a pil
ace that-far surpassed any of the royal palaces
in England. On this Woolsey replied, that"
ha was only trying to form a residence worthy.
of so great a monarch," and that it was in
tended for his king. Woolsey was, however,
disgraced in 1520. This affected his mind so
much, that he put an end to his life. in his
last agony, he regretted that he had not served
his God with the sums fidelity be had always
used towards his royal master, and died on
the 29th of November, 1530. He was - the
greatest instance many ages had produced of
the vanity and inconstancy of human things
both in his rise and fall. By his temper in
both it appears that ho was unworthy of his
greatness, and deserved what-he suffered.
However, a great writer declares that few
ever fell from so high a station with fewer
crimes charged against them. •
In the palace are many fine pictures. The
greatest curiosity to ho seen here is a large
grape vine—certainly the largest in Europe,
if not in tho world; it is over one hundred
and ten feet, Long; at three feetfrom theground
the stem is neorly thirty inches in circumfer
ence; it is of the black Hamburg grape; the
quantity it ' bears some seasons exceeds two
thousand five hundred bunches. The vinery
is 7d feet long, and the breadth on the rafters
30 feet.

is the Maze or Labyrinth, Many hours are

A PRACTICAL JOKER
Rotnieu pays a visit to a grocer.
'Good day sir.'
'Sir I am your humble servant.'
'Have you candles, eight to the pound?'
Certainly, sir, it is a goodsolling , article, as,
in this city of ours, the little purses much ex
ceed the hig ones in number.
'Sir that remark of yours smacks more of
profound observation than the mere shbp.'
'Sir you do me the honor.'
Romiou and the grocer salute. •
'Monsieur was saying that he wanted—'
'One candle eight to the pound.'
•
'Only one?'
'One to begin with ; we will then see salon

"The whole eight?'
'The whole seven; ono piece has the wick

'True enough.'
'Now be so good as to set them in a straight

'But what is that for?'
'You shall soon see; please hand me a
