Knowing that the general olass c
readers are more interested in tale
founded upon facts than fiction, w
give the following sketch, which, al
though rivaling many of those rc
mantio pictures drawn by fictio.
writers, is vouched for "by an ol
English journal as being fonnde
upon a real life occurrence, an
merely polished by the pen of th
writer, A newly-married couple ha
just come from the altai*, and wei
about starting on a bridal toar as th
following conversation took place:
The newly-married husband too

"Allow me," said he, "thus to hoi
your hand, for I dread lest yo
should quit me. I tremble lest th i
should be an illusion. It seems t
me that I am the hero of one c
those fairy tales which amused me i
my boyhood, and whioh, in the hot
of happiness, some malignant fail
steps ever in to throw the vict.ii
into grief and despair!"
"Re-assure yourself, my dear Fr
doric," said the lady. "Iwasyeste
terday the widow of Sir James Me
ton, and to-day I am Madame do '.
Tour, your wife. Banish from yoi
mind the idea of the fairy. This :
not fiction, but a history."
Frederic de Ia Tour had, indee<
some reason to suppose that his fo
tunes were the work of a fairy
wand; for, in tho course of one <
two short months, by a seeming
inexplicable stroke of fortune, 1
had been raised to happiness ai
wealth beyond his desires. A frion
less orphan, twenty-five years ol
he had been the holder of a clor!
ship which brought him a scan
livelihood, when, one day, as 1
passed along the Bue St. Honore,
rich equipage stopped suddenly b
fore him, and a yonng ant? elega
* woman called from it to him. "Mo
si our, Monsieur, " said she.
At the same time, on a given si
nal, the footman leaped dow
opened the carriage door, and invit
Frederic to enter. He did t
though with some hesitation ai
surprise, and the carriage started i
at full speed.
"I have received your note, sii
said the lady to M. de la Tour, ii
very soft and sweet voice; "and,
spite of refusal, I hope yetto see y
to-m?rrow evening at my party."
"To see me, Madame I" oried F
deric.
"Yes, sir, you -. Ahl
thousand pardons," continued si
with an air of confusion. "I see i
mistake. Forgive me, sir! you i
so like a particular friend! WI
canyon think of me? Yet the
??utblanco is so striking that it woi
have deceived anv one."
Of course .Frederic replied polit
to the apologies.
Just as they were terminated, I

charmed M. de la Tour, and he con?
gratulated himself upon the happy
accident which had gained bim such
Sacquaintance. Lady Helton load
hiin with civilities, ana be was not
ill-looking oertainly : but he had not
the vanity to think hie appearance
wa* magnificent; and his plain and
I scanty wardrobe prevented him from
doing credit to his tailor.
He accepted au invitation to tho par?
ty spoken of. Invitations to other par?
ties followed; and, to bo brief, the
young' man ?oon found himself-an
established visitant at tho house of
Lady Melton. She, a rich and beau?
tiful widow, was encircled by ad?
mirers. Ono by one they disap?
peared, givirg way to the poor clerk,
who seemed to engross the lady's
whole thoughts. Finally, almost by
her own asking, they were betrothed.
Frederic used to look sometimes al
the glass whioh hung in his humble
lodging, and wonder to what circum?
stance he owed bis happy fortune
He used to conclude his meditation!
by the reflection that assuredly th<
lovely widow was fulfilling somo una
voidable award of destiny. As fo:
his .own feelings, the lady was lovely
young, rieb, accomplished, and not?e
for h?r sensibility and virtue-couh
be hesitate?
When tho marriage contract wa
signed, his astonishment was re
doubled, for he found himself
I through the lady's love, the virtue
I possessor of large property both ii
langland and France. The presenc
of friends had oertified and Bane
tioned the union, yet, as has beei
stated, Frederic felt some strang
fears, in spite of himself, lest a
should provo an illusion, and h
grasped his bride's band as if to prc
! vent her being spirited away from hi
view.
"My dear Frederio," said th
lady, smilingly, "sit down beside nu
and let me say something to you."

continued the lady, "and as you

"My figure!" said Frederio, in
amazement.
"Xes, my friend, your figure," re?

you gave alms on that night. It was

you then saved!"
"You a mendicant-yon, so young,
so beautiful, and. now so rich/' cried
Frederio.
"Yes, my dearest husband," re?
plied the lady, "I have in my life
received alms-once only-and from
you; and those alms have decided my
fate for life.
"On the day following that mise?
rable night, an old woman, in whom
I bad inspired Borne sentiments of
pity, enabled me to enter as seam?
stress in a respectable house. Cheer?
fulness returned to me with labor.
I had tho good fortune to become
a favorite with the mistress whom I
served, and, indeed, I did my best,
by unwearied diligence and care, to
merit her favor. Sho was often
visited by people in high life. One
day, Sir JameB Melton, an English?
man of great property, came to the
establishment along with a party of
ladies. Ho returned again. He
spoke with my mistress, and learnt
that I was of good family; in short,
learnt my whole history. Tho result
was, that ho sat down by my side one
day, and asked me plainly if I would
marry him.
"Marry you!" cried I, in surprise.
"Sir James Melton was a mau ol
sixty, tall, pale and feeble looking.
In answer to my exclamation o?
astonishment, ho said: 'Yes, I ask ii
you will bo my wife? I nm rich,
but have no comfort-no happiness.
My relatives seem to yearn to seo me
in my grave. I have ailments which
require a degree of kindly care thai

I have heard your story, and believe
you to bo one who will support
prospority as well as you have ad?
versity. I make my proposal sin?
cerely and hope that you will ngret
to it."
"At that time, Frederic," con
tinued the lady, "I loved you. ]
had seen you but once, but thal
onco was too memorable for me evei
to forge!, it, and something always
insinuated to me that wo wen
destined to pass through life togeth
er. At the bottom of my soul, ]
believed this. Yet every ono around
mo pressed me to accept of tho offei
made me, and the thought struck mi
that I might one day make yoi
wealthy. At length, my main obj ec
tion to Sir James Melton's proposa
lay in a disinclination to niaku mysel
tho instrument of vengeance in Si:
James' hands against relatives whon
he might dislike without gooc
grounds. Tho objection, whei
stated, only increased his anxiety fo:
my consent, and finally, under tin
impression that it would bo, afto:
all, carrying romance the length o
folly to reject the advantagooui
settlement offered to me, I consente<
to Sir James* proposal.
"This part of the story, Frederic
is really like a fairy tale. I, a poo
orphan, penniless, became the wif
of one of the riohest baronets o
England. Dressed in silks, an<
sparkling with jewels, I could no\
pass, in my carriage, through th
very streets, where, a fow month
before, I had stood, in tho rain an?
darkness-a mendicant!"
"Happy Sir James!" cried M. di
la Tour, at this part of tho story
"he could prove his lovo by enrich
ing you."
"He was happy," resumed th
lady. "Our marriage, so strangely
assorted, proved much more conduc
ive, it is probable, to his own com
fort than if he had wedded one witl
whom all the parade of settlement, o
pin money, would have been neces

"Never, I believe, did ho for a

to which I became BO, I vowed neve
again to give my hand to man excei
to him who had succored me in m
hour of distress, and whose remen
branco had ever been preserved i
the recess of my heart. But how 1
discover that man? Ah, unconscioi
ingrate! to make no endeavor to con
in tho way of one who sought to lo\
and enrich you! I knew not yoi
name. In vain I looked for you ?
balls, assomblies and theatre?, Yo
went not there. Ah, how I longc
to meet you!"
As tho lady spoke, sho stole fro
her neck a riband, to which wi
attached a piece of a hundrod sou
"It is the Bamo-tho very san

sonting it to Frederic; "by pledgh
it I got a little bread from a neig!

"Ah, how happy I was, Frederi
when I saw you in tho street! Tl

afterward, lest you should have be?

would noyer have heard aught of

taken some means to serve and en?
rich you. I would have go no to
England, and there 'passed my days
in regret, perhaps, but still in peace.
But, happily, it was to be; otherwise.
You were sing?e.'"
Frederio de la Tour was now
awakened, as it were, to the full
certainty of his happiness. What he
could not but before look upon as a
sort of freak of fancy in a young and
wealthy woman, was now proved to
be the result of deep and kindly feel?
ing, most honorable to her who en?
tertained it. The heart of the young I
husband overflowed with gratitude
and affection to the lovely and noble
hearted being who had given herself
to him. He was too happy for some |
ame to speak. His .wife broke
lenee.
"So, Frederio," said she, gay ly,
"you see that if I nm a fairy, it is
you who has given mo the wand
the talisman-that has effected all!"
