Mr Weynall, it seemed, was not altogether satisfied with him or his pioepects, but Lucy had set her heart upon him, and it was at her owe disposal. To my half joking questions about her loser, she gave me such replies as convinced me, in mappers and attractions st least, be was the same who had charmed us all in youth ; " but he looks so pale sod thin at times," she said, "that I eau scarcely bear to look at him." Au early day was appointed fur me to meet the captain at 'Mersey Grove—her father's house--and I was impatient until it came. If he blushes or looks screfused at seeing me, thought I, it will be a good sign ; that sad business at college will still beat his memory, and prove him to be not is to shame It was his first sad last and worst error, perhaps; and who am I, thlt I should bring the sin of his youth against another man ? How many of as in early life have committed fatale., and even crimes, and yet have reached harbor and smooth water--end what right have we to seed another who is about to join us, back again upin the stormy deep? Full of these magnauiluous reflections, I arrived at Mr. %Vey oall's and found within 'doors only that gentle man himself, who bade me seek the young couple in the garden. They were walking together un der the trellis work of ivies at the far end, and they never heeded my flxttsteps as I came along the high steno terrace towards them. He had his arm around her waist, and was oombating, it seemed, soma opinion or Scruple of hers, for his musical tones, though I could not hear their sense caught up and overpowered hers.. I may be ex. caved, angler the ciroutustamies, for likening him then and there to the Serpent at the ear of Eve tin a sudden, Luey gave a little scream, and pointed me, and theu 1 knew that it wt-4 I who bad been the subject of their debate. As they came forward she endeavored to disentangle herself from him, but be held her firmly as be fore loontjoy wa.- altered much, both by years `aid climate; his completion was almost ()live, and a heavy moustache covered his lip.

But later in the evening, over the cigars, (which he made an apology for indulging in,) sod when the old gentleman had retired to rest, he was more natural in his communication..

"As one man of the world tenting to another," such Ind such, he ,aid, ; were the reel trutbsr—viz. : just the sort I,f horrible hopeless gospel, always heralded by that pantie ular expression. And yet, when he drew him self up to his full height, and wished we "Good eight" with his old bewitching smile, I pressed warmly his outstretched hand; and long after the echoes of his springy footsteps bad died away up the oaken stairs, I eat over the fading embers, with my mind feller of sorrow than auger -be callse of hi". had . the *lest foreboding about this carriage.

I bad no right, without more evidenee, to compare Lau. rues Mountjoy with suck suet u these, but I did do so. It is not hard to Ind out in London what a man's life has been in India, but I did not consider myself justified in prying into the captain's past earesr, for I knew that I bad been a rival, sod Seared lest jealously might prompt me is the metier, quite as much as a regard for Luey's happiness Their marriage took place at no distatit period, and they went for a tour upon the coatis**.

I went upon my :ad errand, among the throng of pleasure.seekera, up the aoble river which is the most famous in song; all thingsaround were beautiful, and every heart nt7o mine seemed to be enjoying them to the full. A knot of young collegians, on that most charming of misnomers, "a reading party," contrasted, in their supera bundance of high spirits most painfully with my foreboding thoughts. Wilmot, the youngest of them and their ftvorite, in particular, reminded me of what d aureoty Motiatjoy once had been : we climbed together np the steeps of Ehrenbreit stein. beneath the piles moon ; and while we rested, be sang to us " Facelsior," and I doubt not it was suite! to the singer as to the place, but I thought of him of whom the same might have been prepbcsied but twelve years back, and my heart grew heavy for the boy, in fear. Wiesbaden, where I naturally intended to first seek the Monatjoys, was also the first hault of these young men, for Wilmot had a sister reside I ing there, rod a brother who was attache to the English embassy. The first afternoon of our arrival, spent by me in fruitless inquiries, was passed by cheat at the Kuraaal, and the singer gave me an account that very night of his win ning nine five_franc pieties at the gainting.table 1 could not help giving him iq return the outlines of this very story, but of course without mention. ing the names of those I was in Fcarch of, but be interrupted me in the relation with, '• Why, they are here, sir They were both playing to-night an the Kurssal ; Tiani sure of it—the man quite white owe dark ground, with thick moustachios and sunken eyes ; the woman, not good looking at all, but ladylike She put up her veil otee when her husband spoke to her " " Gond heaven•' you a4l: their name?"

I sat myself down and held my bead low, as though intent upon the game, and watched the company as they draped in.

She had been fond of jewelry, and wore it rather in profusion ; but there was not an ornament about her now, unless her marriage ring could be so called, which I paw as she stretched out her hand ( with the gambling rake in it, alas :) to receive or pay She seemed to b' utterly careless about that matter herself, but when more fortunate than usual, she looked up from the board in her husband's face, as if to glean from it a joy They played, it was evident, in aocordance with some systematic plan, but they did not prosper I saw Mountjoy's face darken ing and his teeth setting tighter together with every revolution of the ball; at last, with a ter. rible oath, Le rose up, and walked rapidly from the room, motioning to his wife to follow Aim. "The oaptain's scheme doesn't answer," laid one "He said he should break the bank as surely an Baron Grinaloff did last summer." "Ab ' , aid the croupier, imperturbably, "the baron did not go away with the money, though; and as for the captain's new system, its as old as the hills " It was strange to bear the beaker thus pro claiming his own iuvincibility, but he knew well how fist the devotees of the table were bound to him, and, indeed, was answered by a laugh. I had already risen, and was following the couple into the garden The summer Ann was shining upon the pleasant little lake, and a light breeze crisped its surface ; some children were feeding the insatiable carp, but, beaidea them and OW selves, there were no others at that early hour on the lawn of in the walks I overtook the Mountjoys in one of these, and it reminded me of the time when I first wet them together in the rosary at Thorny Grose. The way in which he laid his hand upon her arm at my appreeoh recalled the winner in which he refused to he shaken off on that occasion. I saw in that grip he was recalling to her some previouidtreetions, anti that he bad 'calculated upon a meeting of this sort. "Captain 3lounijoy Molyneux," I said, "I have matters of a very serious nature to speak to you upon, (at that-beginning his pale cheek grew whiter, and I felt sure, at once kfiat he bad done something to ho afraid of besidesitie things I knew.) • "Mrs. Mountjoy," I continued, "to you, too, I have some weighty messages from a father whom yon possibly may never see again."
