You have taken a weight fronV my. mind, my young friend, and must allow me to thank you.w The insinuating delicacy of the ad jective (I am not more than forty-five) was, perhaps not without its effect. I accepted the offered pledge of amity in respectful silence. "A yonng man," continued the pat riarch, "may possibly think it dificult to understand how the loss of a trinket can be the aourse of positive suffering to an old one-r-but I am alluding to my lost ring there are associations connected with it which ahem ! This is childish, you will excuse my emo tion . . . - j- .. . . I bowed profoundly in the presence of his natural agitation.

I will point out to you directly , "I beg your pardon said I, drawing back from the outstretched hand ; but, as this ring iu my possession is assur edly engraved with a cre&t aud motto, I conclude it cannot be the one you are in search of." .. .... , The old gentleman eyed me for a moment keenly. . " "I am afraid you are right,n he sigh ed, in a tone of deep dejection : ' "I imret seek further. Alas ! what a mel ancholy termination to my hopeful jour ney." "-. ' . ' . , , "Speed the parting, welcome the coming guest," is a very good motto. I made no attempt to detain 'my vener able friend ; bmVaa he turned towards the door, 1 am certain I saw beneath the silver hairs a lock of dark . and shiuing brown. My next was a lady extensively got up, of imposing hvight and carriage, roughed, scented, spectacled. "We meet undor singular circum stances," began the ladv, with condes cending hautincss. "( am the princi pal of a college for young ladies ? "With a deferential acknowledgement of the houor due me, 1 begged to know what had produced it. . k "In the hours of recreation we are accustomed to promenade in the park -a delightful, spot, so suggestive of the blushing country ! during our ramble of yesterday a young lady under mv charge was unfortunate enough to lose her ring.

I am scarcely recovered from the lady principal, when there is a dash of wheels to the door. and a young fellow, flinging tha reins toa groom in .livery, springs up the steps, to the door-belL "Oh, dash it 1". he began, breath ing out a volume of stale tobacco !

She opens- tbe negotiation in some confu sion, torwing away "her face. She has came to me in the hopes of regaining a ring, carelessly ilost, the parting gift of a fond father to be brother and herself. My eyes rest on the crape about the dress, on bcr pale, beautiful face, from which the blush of confusion and timid ity has faded. Diffidently I requested her to describe it, "A . large diamond, handsome," she believed, "but valued to her for other reasons." "But," I said gently, chased on the gold Inside the ring there is " A crest, I am awaro of it," she an swered sadly; "but I know nothing of he raldry; and have never given it more than a casual glance. My brother is dying, sir," she said, lifting up her pale face to mine. "Only this morning he missed the ring from my finger uneasily, we are alone in tbe world ; . it is tho only relic left of one so late'y taken from us, how can I tell him it is lost V I am sorry to pain you," I said striving to be firm ; but it would be more satisfactory for all parties, and cause very little delay, if you could ob tain the description from your brother." Without :i .word sue turned away; the mournful resignation of her air and attitude touched me, and, as she turned away, I saw a tear roll silently down and. fall upon the hand stretched out to the: doorhandkv ' I couldn't stand that 'Stop 1?
