Duriurt the winter of , 6°9 I became I
tired of the slinky atmosphere of London,
and, indeed of evervtliir , bearing the!

to breathe; as an Englishman might -sac,

the instrumentality of my friend George

morning, exclaiming: -1

I taw that he was suffering from some,

Late in the afternoon we arrived at
Brussels, an s d drove to the Hotel de Ruse;i
having time to dresS fot dinner, we con- I
eluded to dine at the table d'hote. Obey
ing the summons of the gong, George
Lester and myself found ourselves in al
large dining room. We were seated at I
I L
the board, but, alas ! for our ravenous op.'
petites, we could not cat the food placed
before us, for- it was cooked according to
thO faspion bf the country, which is to
mixtul'e German and French dishes,. that
are not palatable to English stomachs.—

"Cubic, Henry, see your ease is des

Saunders', and - have something suitable
to the state of your appetite."
"And pray whois John Saunders?" I
asked.
"An - Englishman," replied George,
"who is making a fortune by giving Isl
anders like,ourselves, something fit to
eat."
George Lester , was well acquainted
with Brussels, having been some ) Months
there several years previously. I
Upon arriving at the Rue'd Isabelle, 4
narrow back street, Lester conducted me
into a very modest looking dwelline.—
Upon enterin r .,,c , I was agreeably surprised
to find everything thoroughly English in
their' appointments. Lester informed me
that all the ton viz ants of English soci
ety. in Brussels met here, many taking
their meals here, in preference to the
hotcla.

While we were doing justice to our
nicely prepared sipper, several gentlemen
entered, afid conk their seats'idirectly op
posite to where we were seated. The
tallest of the party crossed• over to our
table, hat in hand, sayking, "Excuse rue,
..entlemen, I believe we have rapt before;
your faces ate so familiar. Your-names,
if you please."
As we save them, be exclaimed, "Ah
I thoUght I' was l;ot mistaken, and,
grasping our hands, he asked us if we
had forgotten 'Oxford."

After talktug-ovci by gone times, Lord

Meyerbeer's Magnificent "Creation."—l
Roger faithfully justified all the:reports II
had heard of his voice and exquisite ac
ting. 1 Imagination had loose rein as I
gaffed upon the scene called "Le Tempt-1
atron." The curtain descending at the i
cud of the act, restored my enraptured
se:nses to surrounding objects.
1 turned to George, and said something;
about Roger's fine voice; but be was too
abstracted to answer. One of our party
rallied him upon looking at a certain box
all the evening, whereupon Lord Mars
gatel. said, "Ah ! Lester, do not lose your
heart, for la belle _Anglaise is as, cold as
the Alpine heights."
Lord MarsgAte • directed my eye to
'Lord Herbert's' box; in . , / which Miss
Thornton sat. t never beheld one that
attracted my attention as quickly Ller
!light brown `bair was simply rolled back
1
from a white, intOlectual brow. Her
Grecian nose, small mouth' and perfect
chin ancl,throat, were beautiful; but na
ture, by some estrange caries, had given
her eyes as black as midnight, and eye
brows of the same color. Tnese features,
with her perfect blondecomplexion, gave
to her beauty a' tyle o.t once piquant and
brilliant., Perhaps I appreciated her
beauty all the more, viewing it, as I did,
in the midst of unattractive, faces; for.
the ladies of Flanders have no pretensions
to beauty. It may be prejudice upon my
part, but their faces have a crafty ex
pression, particularly about the eye,
which resembles the Chin&se, and, Las
the same catnip
c., look. Their features
are generally c arse, and their figures
stout, (without bat symmetry that the'
Frenon have to such a remarkable de
gree,) and their hands and feet arc very
large.
It is strange, lint it bas been remarked ,
by trvellers, how many deformed persons
there are to be inund in Brussels, espec
!jelly among the aristocracy. Go into_
the park on any pleasant Sunday, and you ,
will be surprised to Sec the number of
misshapen forms that throng its avenues.
I An English resident told Le be thoutht
it was the carelessness and cruelty of

helping the lady to arrange her opera

was soon locked in the embraces of Mor
i pheusi
I The nest morning when I awoke - I
found a note from George, sayiog that he
was going to accompany Miss. Thornton
in . a drive some miles out of town, but
would be with me in the afternoon. -
Having. the mornide• b to mys"lf, I bent
my footsies toward the Museum, a hand-
some building of white marble or gianite,
I have forgotten 'Which. It cuutains one
of the finest collections of paintings in
Europe l having, vany of the: original,
paintings of 31i4hael Angelo, Reubens,
Titens and many others whose names are
enrolled in the temple of faine. Any one
might spend a week, with pleasure. and
profit. viewing these great conceptions.
The .''Nu eum contains, also;some mas
ter" pieces o sculpture, the most beautiful
1 --- s
of which w• s a N veiled Madonna, which
was so delicateo carve 7i that the marble
seemed like a s , eil of the finest lace.
There is one charm to the ear of a
stranger that is particularly pleasing. It
in that chimes of bells are so numerous
,
th l at they are' l almost constantly to be
heard. A gol d bell-ringer is sure of a
high salary. '
'Upon My return to the hotel, I found
George waiting, for me. Ile said,. as I
entered,'"Well'', now 'come ! You think
I am a strange being to bring you here
from London' almost .by force; then im
atediatily after -our arrival, leave you
alone for the society of !almost an appa
rent stratiger,'eh ?"
"Really, George,' I replied, '/'l. have
not been thinking about the matter at
all, but have been spending a most de
-1 lightful morning in the Museum."'
"Ab Plaughed George Lester, "That
