Mt\ ^Arthur observed that the moment he mentioned the names of the Misses Roy er, the driver who had before ap peared dull and stupid, roused up, changed his positiou, and commenced to scrutinise him closely. ? But not Unding, in the lineaments of our hero, a resemblance to the per?ou he . ?waa ou thfi ouj vin^ fur, be wi'.hdrew his impudent aud inquisitive eye* from Ar thur's face, und turned thetn iipon hi? ?sr. .'?J > ^ if.

Arthur asked, as if desirous of diverting the attention of the driver from the idoa of tho Misses, Eoycr, and himself. '?Twelve o'clock," la?ouically replied '-tic Dutchman, for our horn's driver was no other than such an individual. Hers the carriage drove up to the ho tel. Arthur alighted, registered under a ficticious name, and requested to be shown to & room. After the servant was dismissed, ho congratulated himself upon having found out so soon after his arrival that the Misses Buyer were in tho city, and that he had succcded in eluding a rc cognitiou by the driver. He sat down on the bed, aud said to himself*, '-Thus fur thiugs have progress ed as good as I could have wished them, but to-morrow ?" Hero he got up und paced the room to and fro iu a kind of abstracted mood. Alter tho lapse of nr3f? w moments' time, he slopped suddenly before a large mirror that was in the room, and said? '?1 Vriil act honorably about the mnt'er to the end. I will md run away with her. 1 will m-irry her right hdre in the city of ("lay bur'*:, in spilo of all opposi tion.

Arthur now divested himself of his ; clothes and was soon soundly asleep. In his slumbers he dre.unod that he had had tho iutorview, and it resulted favorably to his wishes. But let us learn something more of mm aud his court ship, and tho name of tho girl whoso image was ao fondly en shrined in his heart.

But if his regret and chagrin wi re great when he reflected who Eliza Boycr was, how itnnjeasurubly-tsu porinr her position was to his. and that probably she would not recognize hiin ou.sidoof the ball room, they were a thou sand limes more intense when, on rel \ V-*4C \ ceiving the morning's mail, he found a letter fiut'n his fulhur commanding htm to return home iuiiucd'ntcly; lie read the summons over nod over again, as if unwilling to bolievoJ>his Senses rpvtidtmi Finally, however, he foeed biiuself to regard it as n re ility, and tint lie did ?oIt-i.lv !?.?...?? . ? ia kjaoy" burn that mAhi.

But in his calmer moments, better iui pulscs took possession of hi.-> bosom, nnd he concluded that come what would, he sbouhUiiever have it said of him that he was an undutiful sun. Here he fell into a ?rloomy reverie and was only awekened froni'it-when culled to breakfast. He went down stairs, but to say that he ate anything would be tylllvg an mi truth, lie did drink a little black tea. but that was all.

All of his l.npis, bis aspirations, and his reao Int't M.s to one day distinguish himself, * were merged iu the one idea of alternate hope and fear, and depended for their success upon the revelation which he would soou learn fl'Oin the note in his p ssession. Liaising up and standing before the mirror, lie said : "Can my nerves be so terribly affected by the beauty uT a vouian who perhaps cares nothing forme? it is child-like weakness in ino, and I will bravo the rc Milt like a man, be it. eveu worse than 1 exn< ct. I have her answer, and 1 will read it. Uere Arllutr opened the note, which was written upon gilt-edged paper, in a beautiful and graceful bond, and read : ??Miss Kliza Jloyer will see Mr. Aiu : ston in the parlcn this afternoon at 4 o'clock." These were the only words the note contained. How strange they appeared to Ar tU 'i ! ile could not, understand how, if she would consent to pormit him to visit her in her own parlor, she could write to him so vaguely and iudcG uitely. ?i?u_Uj l ii ive her per mission to viall her, and should not com. pluiu of meeting with bad luck.

He replaced it: iu bis pocket, sml Walked 6nt upon the street. lie had in t proceeded far before ho mot a/cou ple of friends, one of whom said to ' -Well.

Did you dream about her last night V "I havo very important business to transact this morning," responded Ar thur, "and I trust you will spare me froru.nnswenbg arty questions now." But Arthur's friends were determined not to bo put off in any such manner, and declared,?. "Now, Arthur, thcro is no use to dony that you lovo tho girl, and if you will own up, wo may be of cssistance to you in some way. ^You remember that you havo always said you never expec ted to find your affinity until you met a dark brunette, of a particular cast of features, with dark eyes; dark hair, and beautiful white teeth. Is not Miss El'za Boyer the personiGcation of tho woman yuu described as your ideal one?" "I would like to talk with you, boys, but as I have business of ar^ urgent nu tore to transact, if you will excuse mo this morning and conic to my room to night, about 8 o'clock, you will much oblige rue, and then I promise to tell you all, asj[ am going away to night " Here Arthur tore himself away from his friends, and walked hastily up Com merce Street. ' How strangely he acts this morning," remarked one of bis friouds to the other. !-He must have made a declaration of love last night to Mi&s Eliru, aud re ceived in-reply one of those withering glances of rebuke, for which she is so noted f?r exhibiting whenever a gentle man presumes too far with her." ?'I tfon't know," replied the other. 'but I shouldn't wonder if such was Ai tliitr's fate, if be was &> foolish as to uralte "iovo to .Miss' 1.1,/a lioyer, tin so slight au acquaintance^ But we will know all to-ulgbt, so let's not speculate any further." The two friends went their way and thought no more of Arthur, until the time for their visit to bis rooiU arrived. Meant into, our hero was becoming more and tnore, if possible, infatuated with this mysterious girl. Tho whole day was while*! away in a 1 kind of listless dreamy air of ubstrae : lion, until within an hour or so of the time appointed for the interview, wheu j be became nervous again. Finally the hour arrived. Aflei retiriug to bis room, aud care I fully adjusting bis toilet, Arthur Aiuston started on a visit, the re.Milt uf which, was either to make him excessively happy, or cause his cup of life to overflow with deep, bitter sorrow. Arrived at the door, he rang the bell, handed his card to the servant and waited in breathless silcuce for her re turn. Presently ahe re-appeared, showed him to the parlor, aud said, ".Miss Kliza will ho hero iu a few minutes." He was now left alone, to think, to wonder and to admire. Everything iu the parier betokened a refinement,?nay, an extravagance of taste that Arthur construed into no omen against himself. "flow foolish," said be, l,iu a youth like myself to a?pire to the love of an occupant of such a happy place- as this must be. Surely she will tell tue to leave her presence tho minuto that I approach the theme. But?" At this moment fuotsteps- were hoard advarooiogj and the last sentence which Arthur commenced to frame was cut abort. It wa* Eliza. As she entered the parlor, Arthur aojvaucod to moot hor, bowed gracefully, and extending his band tn hr>r? ?.,;?! : '(MMb Boyer, if I am refused the pleasure of eond ictlng you to a seat, I shall feel, in the beginning, that you will never whisper, forgiven." "Be Bented yourself, sir," she said, gently, but firmly releasing her hand fiom his; ''und as I have hut .\ few min utes to devote to your call. 1 hope you ?-'? * ?-r?:??-"?1 will tell me at onco in what manner you insulted me, and for what purpose you seek my forgiveness.

"Do not remember, Miss Do3'or VI eagerly exclaimed Arthur, "Why, did you not sfopjrao abruptly ou last evening when I dared to tell you a truth, and declared if over I attempted such a thing again, that the penalty should be a forfeiture of your society. Was not that alone enough to lead mo to believe that I had insulted you ; that I had of fended either your dignify, yonr posi tion, your personal beauty, or your idea of a rigid otiquctto, by my presump tion ? Hence the note that I penned you this morning, and hence my ap pearance hero. And I am iu earnest, Mis3 Dover, when I ask your forgive ness. Iam going away to-ni,ht, and shall never feel happy again if I have to leave hero under tho impression that / wns the means of rendering unhappy a single moment in the lifo of one so fair. If it was your dignity that I insulted, I have repented the sin; if it was your position in life, I promiso never again to presume, in such a man ner, to one so lofty ; aud if it was your beauty, I beseech an absolution on the ground that it is irrcsista ble, and that fdeo is no thing of The will." ".Mr. Ainslon," returned EKz.i, 'ifyou arc really in earnest, the surprise which your note cni^ja w, w*8"4' more than equalled by your present ut terances. But to shorten this inter view," Elisa contiuttcd, "I will say that you did not insult me. I only spoke to you in the manner I did, because I deemed you presumptuous, and that I ? might avoid a shower of empty compli ments. My heart sickens at the idea of ball-room declarations, and hence my condeet towards you. I trust this ex pdauatiun will satisfy you." I ??Perfectly," rvjinncJ Arthur: 'T thauk you for it. Aud need I tell you it almost tempts mc to repeat tho pre sumption here under your own roof. Oh !

"Mr. Ainston," Elisa replied, some what excited at Arthur's unexpected eonfcs?iou, "if I did not k.iow ycu to be a gentleman of intelligence, I should think that the purport of your visit here, was to insult me ; but as I believe it is for an honest purpose, I will not fdgn the affectation which would load mc to doubt you.
