The turn which the conversation letween the two young men had taken did not promise well for future friend ship. As in chemistry there are bodies which fly violently from each other w:hen"-attempts are made to bring them together, spjamohg men there are na tures which it is impossible to bring into unisonL Even when, notwith standing that their inclinations urge them to regard each other with aver sion, they strive, for one reason or other, to overconfi.lieif-antipatb'i"tl'e ; atlhpl isnvariably a failure. No power can make their opposing na tures harmonize. The mere presence of one grates upon the other, and it might almost be said that, with their eyes dosed, they could detect the bale ful influence. It is often a singular feature in this instinctive repulsion, that the parties know no ill of each other. As in the present instance. Here were two men of equal fortune, presumably of equal standing in society, who but a quarter of an hour since were absolute strangers to each other s existence; and although they mot nn fllPlldlv LTOUlldS. Willi llO . 1 -. - - . C 1 known motive for anything but friend lirniuu nntl with PVPrV OutWai'd ir- cumstance favorable for tlje cementiu. of cordiiu'' relations, they were, within those few minutes, very nearly on the brink of a quarrel. Perhaps it is unnecessary to be pre cise. If they had a quarrel, Richard Burton would have been the open ag gressor. He was the more impulsive to hot-blooded of the two the more sincere and out-spoken,- the more in experienced. ' Frederick Chappall was two well verseiyn the usages of polite society to commit a breach ot good manners when ' his passions were not strongly- excited; and as, in conse quence of a decided laxity in his moral nature, he was not so quick as Richard Barton to take offense m such a man iier as tins, his cue for aversion was somewhat uncertain. i The situation may be thus briefly chsscr ent heartlessness of; Ins , compam , me behind the scenes witn nimseii 101 "I like a man who believes," said Mr. Armstrong. "I would send all skeptics and sneerers to a land of their own, where they could snarl each other to death." ( ; Frederick held up his hand, as though to protect himself from the words. His manner throughout the conversation was the manner of a man who was indolently conscious of his own suieriority. ; "Don't be vindictive," he said. "Be fore vou came in, I was sounding your I .raises. Tell us some news."; "I went to the Cut-and-Coine-Again last night. I didn't see you there. The Cut-and-Come-Again," said FvprWiYk. in exi Sanation, "is one of -- - " 7 A our high-class theatres; Mr. Ami- strong is an enthusiast on the subject of the drama. What 'did you see "It was the first night of an original drama written by Mr. Clip." Frederick again played the part of chorus. "Clip is one of our best au thors. An original drama I That is news indeed. Really original?" "Without a shadow of doubt. Clip took it from the French, who took it from the Spanish. The French had no right to it, so Clip attached it. It is Clip's clearly. Clever fellow, Clip a genius. He has produced one hun dred and ninety original plays. Long TCicliard. "Mr. impi" perhaps be will ten us someTnore news. You will never find Our school master at a loss, Mr. Barton; he has always something ready. I shal .be gin soon to think . that he is ubiait ous, for he is everywhere and sees everything. A month ago I had occa sion to visit Bow Street Police Court, as a witness in an assault case deuced hard lines it was, for I was not mixed up with it in any way and there was pur schoolmaster sitting on a bencli, w'atching the poor wretches who were before the magistrate for being drunk and disorderly with as much interest as he would watch the performance of the last opera bouffe." "I went into a police court last week" 1 . lUClcJUi- "- zyu. I v, you ? Now listen to his expeirHsnci--fT5 Tt was in the country, and one of your beautiful administrators of jus tice, in the shape of a justice of the peace, who knows as much of law as my little finger, was on the bench." "Understand," interposed Freder ick, "that, as an American, M. Arm-' strong has a profound contempt for our English institutions, and ifxleed for all institutions that are not Amer- a ican. "Understand," rejoined Mi". Ann strong, with a slight frown, "that I have a profound contempt for injus tice, wherever it be practised. Coun try makes no difference to me ; I judge by men and manners. Some of your justices of the peace would be a dis grace to any civilized country." "You have not been to America, Mr. Barton ?" asked Frederick. "No," replied Richard, who followed with interest this battle of words be tween his new acquaintances, ' T hope to go one day." "There," said Frederick, ii-onically, "you will find justice administered by immaculate men men above reproach, beyond corruption. Unhappy me ! Why was I born an Englishman '?"' "M'o liovo rlaaii Idrd-a nnntl mir svs. , r rf terns." said Mr. Armstrong, "but we i have the excuse, at all events, that we are" comparatively a new country; and you must bear in mind that we have an enormous number of men of mixed nationalities, and an enoimous terri tory to govern. Why, sir, we could playdice with three Great Britains in "Bravo! bravo !" cried Frederick. Wm liavfi no such excuse for mis- o-ovemment in this country," continued now I should like to ask what subject you young gentlemen were discussing when I entered. You appeared to me to have arrived at an awkward phase of it" Richard Barton turned red at the remembrance of his irritabnitv. "A great subject, a wonderful sub ject," replied Frederick; "two, indeed money and woman." . "You place them in the order of merit?" observed Mr. Armstrong. "Undoubtedly. The first is the most stupendous tLcme-that I am ac quainted with." "I am greatly disposed to agree with you. The theme is stupendous.' Honesty, virtue, charity, and all the vices that lie beneath it Trulv. anoh ngunientisMl xxramrericea it on a aay tnat w omu last for five thousand years, and talked till the sun was wrinkled ;and the moon came out on crutches, you could not do it justice." Frederick Chappell yawned lazily, and said : "It is a good job for some of us, that we don't live in the times when the devil used to tempt men with money-bags." "You Avould have made a bargain with him." "No doubt of it," said Frederick, very readily. "For twenty . thousand a year, and twenty thousand to bolster it up, I would sacrifice much." "Principles, even?" "Yes; and every other virtue I may happen to possess." "Strange," said Mr. Annstrong, who for a reason of his own took Frederick at his word, and appeared to be not disinclined to wrangle witn lam "strange that men live who iare not subscribers to your faith !

In the midst of their laughter, Trail appeared at the door and announced a new visitor. "Mr. Fangle, sir." ' f ' -Mr. Fangle, upon entering, looked fussily around. He was a short, spare man, not too ' well dressed,' whose joints seemed to be set upon wires. "Ah, Fangle," said Frederick, "we were just advising Mr. Armstrong to take out a patent." And then the young gentleman glanced acrain at the clock and rose nervously. -His great anxiety now was to get rid of his visi tors. "Patent !" cried Mr. Fangle, who of the rich, into whose society he had by some means wormed- himself. "Patent for what?"' Mr. Annstrong answered him. "For always coming in at the nick of time 'or causing the fruits to grow in the am-pots ready for the market for drawing people together at the exact moment they want to see one another for bringing future generations into the world upon a new .principle" "Goodness gracious !" cried Mr. Fangle, beating his hands together. ;Vnd for refining -everything and everybody to such a state of perfec tion, that the only trouble m life a " DURHAM, N.
