It was by a homely- lo he faced girl, with a pretty figure, iti a rail- |,ave road car on its way from London to Liv- ^n,j erpool. She was going to Australia, under a|| ,j engagement to bo marriod to "her Joseph:" jinj | If I had been letter looking.

The unsuitableness of my ,nurt, face to what I may be allowed to call a very w|,jh tolerable figure, has been literally (he means amjd of bestowing happiness, as I nope, upon Jo- my epfi, and of pulling ?400 into my own 8ajj pocket.

She was a widow la eveni dy, fond of a gay life and brilliant amuse- i menls; nnd that place suited her so well, {jnt| iliat she made it her home, and I, but little f0|| u ionlti, remained here too. Joseph and I jt wa bad kept company together before that i,;a t time, but he was not so foolish as to wish wau; me to give up my expectations for the sake rnak of a hurried marriage. He said that he iat() would wait patiently, dear fellow, although the great salt sea was to roll between us, were and there could be no chance of his getting yon< a letter more than once a day. lie was a qu^j mason's assistant in London, and very hard- bene ly worked, it seemed, for he himself was j,ut , cot able to reply nearly so often. However, of course ( was not a bird, tliut I could a jie. be in two places at once; so I made the ant] test of it, and was as happy as a confiden- so|Tj tial lady's maid, uuder such circumstances, euj could hope to be. l10 j, One evening I had been preparing my but | mistress, who was a very splendid dresser, anj for the opera. My only fellow servant was us ^ on leave of absence for some days; and ex inon cept the poster in the courtyard, thero was firsl nobody, when the carriage bad driven off ^ g that night, in the whole house save myself; |v jt therefore, having nothing belter?or at least ^.0 , nicer?to do, and being in my mistress's jjgj bed room amongst her beautiful robes and j ornaments, it was hardly to be expected wa3 that I should resist an opportunity of trying pHrj thein on. The room, besides being charm- a angly hung with mirrors, had a delicious on j full-lencrth swinffincrpla&R- and befora this ?:_i - o o o o ? niij^i I amused myself a good ?ng while.

LIo had accordingly invited about fifteen thousand people to coino to his house t? on a given night, and elbow, and crush vr< each other, under the pretenco of enjoying Ca themselves at a grand fashionablo parly, the g,: largest of ike season. Of the fifteen thous- r0 and persons invited, I am informed that jn Dr. Townsend and his family personally co knew only three hundred and thirty-one, of ih whom two hundred and upwards wero di business acquaintances of the Doctor's, who Ti bought and sold Sarsnparilla by the gross, hi retail dealers being vigorously excluded, w The rest of the invitations wero given to m Browne, of Graceless Chapel, who resorted hi to the most ingenious devices to have them ri sent to "eligible" families on tho Avenue, hi whose names he did not know. A couple &i of thousand iu blank were left at Stuart's, 0f And the clerks were suborned to fill in the n< names and send them with the purchases n< of all ladies who came in their own car- Si riages. Editors and ltepoiters received unlimited quantities, with the gracious permission of Browne to invite all their friends. Expert members of the swell mob were ent- Je ployed to get up an alarm as the people cr wero coming out of the Opera, and in the ^ confusion, to slick an invitation slyly into tho pocket of every man with a moustache nnd "s" a lady?and I have reason, Mr. Editor, to Ql believe, that every ono of your 4,009 up- ^ town aristocrat subscribers received a Townsend invitation surreptitiously folded in liia Saturday's Picayune. Browne invit- ^ cd all the carriers, and they connived at it. j, I can't vouch for the story that the Ilomo ^ .Missionary Society distributed by means of colporteurs eight hundred, disguised as ^ piou9 tracts, but I am credibly informed j j that Townsend invitations and embossed ; ^ satin programmes were served together at jj Thnlberg's matinees. j I myself, had fourteen; one from head- ^ quarters by tho penny post; twelvo were cj given me by a dozen particular friends, and ono was sent from the Dutch grocery j wrapped round a sausage. I don't know ^ that a notice of tho affair was printed on j( the labels of tho Sarsaparilla bottles three months in advance, but it was certainly adverlised in all the newspapers as the great- ^ est excitement of the season. All the fashionable world would bo there to enjoy a ^ new sensation; thero would bo plenty to eat and drink, there would be music, dancing, conversation and whist; there would bo a panorama exhibited in the library, and |(J there would undoubtedly bo numerous feats i of sleight of hand performed by those in- ( ) dustrious gentlemen who earn their living A theiebv. I determined to go and see the \ fun. Damphool and about a dozen of us, It attired ourselves resplendently, bought each a pint bottlo of Sarsaparilla as a voucher, i J! to show to the door keeper in case the-e j j J should be any questions about our being ! inliim\Jjj friends of tho family, and took an i B up stage for the nearest point. Got to the house at ten o'clock, at which time tho j u magnificent mansion was surrounded bv so I many hired eariiages that it looked as if j besieged by ?n army of cockroaches. We presented Sarsaparilla at the man at : <j the door, who looked at the corks to see if Si we had the genuine article and had not ! 4fi patronized a rival establishment; finding m that we had the right patent, he made a rn mental calculation of the profit on a dozen at bottles, and immediately passed us in and y, pointed the way to the dressing-room. m There we proceeded to take off our hats, c? shawls and overcoats?concluded to hide 1 my outer garments so that in the scramble : .d which I anticipated, I might be able to get I, my own?put my hat and overcoat in my shawl, made them into a square bundle, iL and hung it on the gas chandelier; all the others followed my example, and thechan- tl; delier soon had more bundles than burners. nt Started downstairs?Dainphool with adis- cf graceful rusticity, suggested that we ought to find the master and mistress of the house in and pay our respects?told Dainphool that 1 he was nn obsolete humbug, and that the 1 fashionable way is, not to speak to your entertainers unless you lose something in the , house, and then do it only to magnify the ; b< loss, and threaten them with damages if it ui is not made up tenfold. Acquaintance with your hosts curtails liberty of speech and action?a man naturally does not feel 1 tl tho same license to find fault with tho ar- v, rangemenls, make fun of the guests, crili- , a cize the costumes, throw things on the carpels, smash the china, spoil the furniture, M and make himself as much at home gene- , rally a* ho does when dealing with Strang- ' era. The maxim of the fashionable fast : 01 young incn on '"Brown's list" is, that it is tv bettor not to know the proprietors, lost you should feel a delicacy about breaking the c| chairs, and sofas, when cloaring away for CJ ' the German." R Gicnt crowd separated me from my com : m pnnion*, and so I counnonced alone my pilgrimage in search of amusement. The hi rush w as as great as if the house had been a gun and ibe peoplo bad l?cen rammed in with a steam engine.
