resumed Eugeneio, with a look of
modest entreaty.

should have offered at first, had I been
aware of the circumstances."
i"I don't doubt it,V said Eugenie.

"You shall know everything."

Tlie next morning a similar billet lay
on the same spot. : The first person who
read it took down the address ; in his

Next came a you nif couple, who nad
not long been married, and picked up
the billet. Julia, who. expected in
about three months to become, for the
first time; a mother, said to her hus
band; ., ... . J
Let us go, my dear ; - what we . can
offer is but i little, to be sure: but ' in
many cases a little mav save the unfor
tdnate from despah. Come, let us go!"
, They accordingly went.; After they
found the specified number in tlie Rue
Saintonge, they learned that the house
was inhabited by an old physician, who
had retired from i practice, and was
thought to be rich, and had ? an only
daugnter, distinguished for understand
ing and talents. fPhey ascendoU a hand
some staircase and were "ushered .into
an apartment on tlie . first floor, . which
was furnished not magnificently but
with" great taste. They , inquired for
Eugenie de Mirande, and a lady,youngT
elegant and accomplished, inatle her
appearance. She requested her visitors
to step inte a saloon that seemed to be
tlie haunt of the success. Books, draw
ings, and musical instruments were in
termingled, and formed by no means
aqjinplpitSiint mntrast.wlth - tho neat
ness and order which everywhere pre
vailed. .Theyoung cmipJe could not
conceive where persons in need of as
sistance, were to be 5 sotijrht in such .a.
h:hiLation. . -
- I fearu madam'? said Julia, "that
we are wrong. We found a billet with
your direction ln the Tuileries, and ex
pected to meet a distressed icrson to
whom we might lnivo affonledsome
relief; but all that we see here seems
rather to indicate opulence than to call
for the exercise of benevolence."
Kugenie replied, with some embar
rassment, that she was merely the in
terpreter of a very unfortunate female,
wlio, from a relic of pride, wished to
remain unknown, that was certainly
deserving' of teompassion.'" Julia ex
pressed a wish to become acquainted
with this lady. , . . V .
"I am no stranger to distress," said
she; lefore me she would have no oc
casion to blush." ,
Kugenie declinetl to gratify her in
this iwrticular, olsorving that misfor
tune had made hor. protege so shy and

is a girl of five years." , u v - ,
It was concise, clear and energetic.

" Is she 'not come yet?"

emotion.
44 Well, then, I'll wait."
He then took a chair; and seated
himself beside her at the breakfast ta

topics, but somehow or other the con-,

THE BRAVEST SOLDIER ''X't ' V'ATERLOO.
A British officer has been favored
with the following anecdote apropos of
the Waterloo anniversary: V i
"Some few. years ago two gentlemen
waited on the Duke of Wellington at
Apsley House, and told him that a
friend of theirs had died, leaving them
executors to his will, iri, which, among
other bequests, he had left five hun
dred pounds to the bravest man, in the
Britisji army, as they considered him
to be the bravest man they had called
to hand over to him a check for the
money. .
"The Duke was much pleased at the
compliment paid to him, but declined
to receive the money, as he said there
were many other men in the British
army who equalled him in bravery!
He was then requested to decide on
whom the money should be bestowed.
This was a difficult point ; but at length
