'MM said Ralph Winlaugsly to his iy cousin, Carl Lansing, as they proceeded leisurely along one cf the city streets. "That was Inez Farrington, your cousin and mine, Ralpb," said (Jarl; "really you must have left your memory among the beauties of Lou dou if you cannot reeoguize your nearest relations." "Ah, Carl, you forget that it is eight years since I last saw Inez, and she wa then a bright little tiling of uiue. The lapse of eight years makes a wonderful difference in a woman, whatever it does in a man's case." "Discussing time's change, Ralph, !l must confess you have not escaped from his touch. Who in your bronz. ed complexion and hirsute visage could discover any traces of tee barefaced lad I last saw, some sev en years ago, on a schooner bound for Liverpool ? But tell me, why did you not write you were coming home V "Because I did not know my owu mind, Carl ; I really was not certain about it till I bad beeu a week at sea. The odd pronunciation of my French valet having caused my uaine to be placed on the passenger list as Mr. Laugsly, it occurred to me that the mistake would enable ute to return iucoguito, and I thought I would humor the joke on purpose to see bow roauy of my friends would recognize me. I ar rived late last night, and should have been a peileet stranger lo all bad I not accidentally met you this morning; and even you, Carl, did not at first know me." "Kuow you, Ralph ; who ia the dickens could even see you behind that growth of biushwood upon 5 our lip and cheek Surely you do not mean to continue wearing such enormous whiskers aud moustach ei" "Not longer than suits my present purposes, Carl. When I was in Germany I learned to wear mous taches for the same reason that I smoked the meerschaum, because it was the fashiou- In Paris, I reduced bem, but did not entirely banish them, because it was also the fash ion there. A lively little French lady, a passenger on our ship, wa gered a pair of Pal is gloves that I would not wear them a week in Am. erica. I accepted the bet, and tor a week you will see me 'bearded like Orson.' " "Ob, if you like them," said uarl, laughing, "you need not seek an ex cuse tor wearing them; they are the height of fashion here, am! the la dies now estimate a man, not as they once did, by his qualities, but by the length of his whiskers." "I have no desire to win ladies' f jvor by wearing ansbaven lace," answered Rilph ; "but, Carl, tell me something about our pretty cousin.7' "She is as lovely in character, Ralph, as she is in person, having but one great fault, like the most of our fashionable belles she has a mai nia for eveiything foreign. Her manners, her dresses, her servants, all come from abroad, and she has repeatedly assured me of her reso lution never to marry an American.7' "Whyi8it? What do our fair sisters so admire in the foreign eles taent ?"7 asked Ralph. "Ob, they say there is a polish and elegance of manner belonging 10 'oreigners that Americans cau iev- possess. Three of Inez' intimate f vends have recently married scioua f some autediluviau German famN lv, aud our beautiful cousin is am bitious of forming au equally splen did alliance.'' "If she were to marry a western farmer," said Ralph, with a emile. "she would reigu over a principality quite as large and a great deal more flourishing than usually b-long to these emigrant nobles." "Inez is a noble-hea.ted girl," re plied Carl ; "she deserves a better fate, and I wi9h she could be cured of her folly." "If she is really a sensible girl, Carl, and that is her only fanlt cured ." Call looked doubtfu'. "Come and dine with me, Carlj be careful to tell no one of my arrival, for I have thought of a gloiious scheme which I am sure will work well and afford us all pleasure. Come, we will discus it over some old Madeira and choice cigars," Mr. Faningtou's baudsomu resN deuce on Moutrose street was briK bautly lighted. The radiance of many lights, rendered soft and rosy by the crimson curtains, flooded the damp, dreary street, while the en trancing music heard at intervals told to the listening crowd collected about the door that tne rich were making meiry. The handsomely decorated rooms were made briN liaut with an array cf youth and beauty, but the fairest of them all was the young hostess. Attired in a robe of white crepe, with no other ornament than a pearl bandeau onfiuing her dark tresses, she look ed a queen among women. "Cousin Carl,'7 she exclaimed, as she saw her favorite cousin makiosr his way toward her, "you haven't beeu here for a whole week;'' and then, in a lower tone, ehe added, "who was that handsome Count Whiskerando whom I saw oat walk ing with you yesterday V1 Carl stroked his moustache in an innocent way, and a tall figure em. erged fiom the crowd and made his way toward them. "Miss Farrington, allow me to present you to the most noble Connt de laTHgue." Inez flushed crimson, but it only enhanced her beauty, as the count bowed low over the hand he has tened to secure for the next qnad rille. There was a mischievous twinkle in Carl's eye and a deep and giae devoteduess in the stranger's manuer that made her feel uncom fortable A single glance sufficed to show ber that the count was at. tired in an elegant court suit, with diamond buckles at the knee aud a diamond band looping np the ele gaut chapeau bras which encumber ed his arm. Atter some minutes she ventured to look more courage ously at him. He was tall and ex ceedingly well shaped ; his eyes were very bright, but the chief at traction was a beautiful mouth, gar nished wijh the most splendid mous tache that ever graced an American ballroom. Inez was delighted. This sur passed all her expectations. She was enchanted with his dancing, for his buoyancy ot step and grace of motion was unrivaled. He spoke English with a slight French accent that was perfectly charming. It is true she felt a little queer when she found herself whirling through the waltz in the arms of an entire stran ger, and her brow flushed with something very like anger when she felt his bearded lip upon her hand an he placed her in a seat, bnt this was only the freedom of foreign manners. The evening passed like a dream, and Inez retired to ber room with a burning cheek and a frame exhausted by what she deem ed pleasure. She was too excited to sleep, and when sue appeared at h?r father's breakfast table (a daty she never neglected) it was with such a pale cheek and heavy eye that he was seriously alarmed. "These late hours will kill you, my dear," said he, as he gently kissed her forehead; "I shall return at noon, and if I find you still so languid I'll send for Dr'. ." So saying he stepped into his car riage and was driven to his office where, immersed in business, be quite forgot Inez' illness until the dinner boor nummoned him from his business to his stately mansion. A be entered the door he recol lected her jaded look. "Poor child,' he murmured, "I wonder how she is.'' A low musical laugh struck on his ear as the servant threw oteri the drawing room, and the sight of the radiant coootenance looking more lovely than ever as she sat between Cousin .Carl and the count soon qaieted his fears. Mr. Farrington, in common with roost Americans of the olden time, had a prejudice against foreigners. If they are real lords," he used to sav, "they don't want my daugh ter, and if they are not real lords my daughter dou't want them." His notions of the Teutonic char- acter were founded on the wonder-, ful stories bis mother used to relate, and vague ideas of ruffians and child-eaters were associated with everything French or German. The coldness with which be sainted the noble count formed a striking con trast to the cordial warmth with which he grasped bis nephew's baud "Glad to see you, Carl ; couldn't speak a word to you last night you were so surrounded with pretty girls. By the way, boy. drawing him aside, "who is that hairy-facea fel low V "That is Count de la Trigue, un cle." "Couut de la Trigue I Ah, a queer name. Pray, what is bis business?'' "Business f" said Carl, laughing; "vvby, bis business at present is to receive the revenues of his princi pality.'' "Principality, fudge 1 A few bar ren acres with a dozen mud-hovels, I suppose. It won't do, Carl : it won't do: Inez deserves something more tbau a mouthful of moonshine. What the deuce did you bring him here for ! I don't think I could treat him with common civility if it were not for your sake." '-'Then, for my sake, dear uncle, treat him civilly, and I give you my word you will not repent your kiudi ness. 1 Eveiy day saw the count paying bis devoirs to the lovely Inez and always framing some winuing ex cuse for his visit, A bouquet of rate exotics, or an exquisite print, a scarce book, or a beautiful specimen of foreign mechanism were sure to be his apology. Could any girl of seventeen be insensible to such gal lant wooing, especially when proffer, ed by a rich young noblemau who wore such splendid whiskers, and whose moustache aud imperial weie the envy of all the aspirants after ladies' smiles ? Inez soon discovered that when the count was present time flew on eagle's wings, and when, after spend ing the morning in ber company, be ventured to make one of the gay circle usually ascembled in her drawing-room at evening she was couscions of a degree of pleasure for which j-he was unwilliugto account. His mtimacy with her cousin Carl afforded him the opportunity of be ing her companion abroad as well as at home; and in the gay evening party, the morning promenade or the afternoon ride the haBdsome count was ever her attendant. Per haps it was a feeling of gratified vanity, aided by the natural good ness of Inez' temper, that euabled ber to endure, with exemplary equa nimity, the railleries oj her friends; but sbe was not so tranquil when her father began seriously to re monstrate against this imprudent intimacy. "You have bad all your whims gratified, Inez,'7 said he ; "now you most gratify one of mine. Adopt as many foreign fashions as you please, but remember that you nev er, with my consent, parry any other tbau an Americau. My for tune has been made by own indus try : my name was transmitted to me, unsullied by my father, who earned his patent of nobility whn he signed the declaration of indes pendence, and no empty-titled for eigner shall ever reap the fruits of my toil or teach my daughter to be ashamed of her republican father.'' The earnestness of these admoni tions from a father who had never spoken except in words of unbound, ed tenderness, first led Inez to look into the depths of her own heart. Sbe was almost terrified at her own researches when she found that she had allowed the image of the count to occupy its most bidden recesses. Bitterly did ehe repent her folly. ! wish be was an American," sighed sbe, "and yet if he were he would not be half so pleasing. How devoted his manners are, how much feeling there is in all he says and does." Poor Inez, she was like the fas cinated bird fhe dreaded his pow er, yet she coald not withdraw her self from its influence. She could uot conceal from hereelf that the manners of the count, too, were greatly changed. From the courtly gallant be bad gradually become the impassioned lover. He treasured her every look and word, and -she keenly felt that in exposing her own piace of mind she bad also risked his. This state of things could uot exist long without an explanation. S'.x months had scarcely passed since Inez had first beheld the no ble wtranger, and alreadv ber cheek h;ni lost its glow and her step its buovaut lightness- She was sitting alone one morn ing brooding over her melancholy forebodings when the door opened an I the subject of her thoughts en teied. Seating himself beside her he commenced a conversation foil of those graceful nothings which wom en always love to hear, bnt Inez was in no mood for gayety. The count intently watched the play of her eN queut features, and then, as if he divined the tumult of her feelings, suddenly changed the topic to one ot deeper interest. He spoke of himself of bis various adventurer of his personal feelinge; and, finally, of his approaching departure for Europe. Inez' cheeks grew paler as he spoke, but she suppressed the cry that rose to her lips- The count gazed earnestly upon her ; then, seizing her hand and clasping it be tween his own, he poured forth the most passionate expressions of a& feition. Half fainting with the excess of her emotions, Inez sat motionless as a statue until aroused by the count's entreaties tor a reply. With bitter self-reproach the attempted to an swer him. Faulteringly but frank ly she stated her father's objections to her union with a foreigner, and blamed herself for having permitted au lutituacy that could only end in suffering for both. "Only tell me, Inez, that your faiber's prejudices are the only ob stacle,'' said the connt passionately, "iay that you could have loved me, and I shall be content." Inez blush ed and trembled. "For the love of heaven, answer me by a look." Timidly the downcast eyes were raised to bis, and he was answered. "Inez,'' be resumed after a moment's pause, "we may yet be happy. Could ycu love the humble citizen as well as the noble count T" A slight pressure of the hand which lay io his and a flitting smile ou the tremulous lips was a snffi cient reply. "Then bear me, Inez,'' said her lover. "I will return to my country. I will restore my honors to him who bestowed them, aud then I may hope to merit " "My utter contempt,'' cried Inez, vehemently. "What, resign your country, forfeit the name of your ra.ther8, desert your inheritance of d ut ies ? No. count, i t a love of tree1, dom led you to become a citizen of out happy land, none would so glads ly welcome you as Iqpz FarriDgtOD, but never would I receive ihe sacri fice as a tribute to transitory pas sion."

You have taught me a bitter lesson, connt. No Arrerican would have shown such wefikness of character as I have witnessed in bim whom I firmly be lieved io be all that he professed. Wculd we had never met," she add. ed, bursting into tears. "Inez," said the couut, "those precious tears assure me of your love for me. Be mine, sweet one; your tather will not be inexorable.'' "And therefore," said she, "yon would have roe make him wretched for life. Count de la Trigne, we must part You do not understand my nature. I have been deceived in yon." "You have, you have been de ceived, my own sweet cousin," cried the connt, as he covered her hand with passionate kisses. "You have rejected Count de la Trigueill you also refuse the hand of your mads cap cousin, Ralph .Winlangsly,wbose little wife you were eight years ago!" Inez started in wild surprise. 'What means all this? Ralph Win- langslyl the count 1" The sudden revulsion of feeling over powered her, and Gosin Carl entered the room just iu time to seo her sink fainting in Ralph Win' laogsly's arms. The auger of the lady when sbe recovered and learn ed the trick which had been prac ticed upon her, the merriment ot Cousin Carl, the satisfaction of her father, and the final reconciliation of all differences, may be better imag ined than described. A few weeks afterward a uplendid party was again assembled in Mr. Farringtou'd parlors, but luez was no longer the lite of the party.
