was seen in the avenues of power; this is
what congratulate him upon more than
praise him, for we do not frequent the anti
chambers of men in place for pleasure.
Happily, have no more need to do 50 than
he. Ipartake with five brothers and sisters,
who love me, and whom love, the patrmo-
ny he will leave us; and hope the minister
will never hear us spoken of. Yet if it be
necessary to solicit him in favour of your
friend am ready to do it. What is it she
wants?'


s'To establish claim that is just, the secu-
rlty Of one of our armies rendered it necessa-
~ to destroy an establishment which the
husband of the widow founded; she asked for
Indemnity


"And must she have protection, madam,
to obtain this,'


"Protcction is not necessary to obtain it,
because it is just; but we wish for protec-
tion in order that the business may not lnger
in the bureaur, before it is seen by the min
ister.''


81 see" said Latremblaye, the name of the
young man, ''that we must lay before the
minister Il concise and clear memorial, which
shall make him feel the justice of the claim.''


THAT is just the thing, but the memorial
must be drawn


| Both were silent


u scarcely dare ask you," said Eugenia.


"Why not! should have offered to do it, if
had not been afraid of doing it ill. Besides
am ignorant of the details of the affair."


81 will communicate them.''
Eugenia retired moment, and returned
with her father. She requested him to ask
Latrcnblaye to dinner, in order that he
might be furnished with the details of the
business III question. The old gentleman in
treated the young man to fix on day, which
after mutual compliments he did.
| Latremblayc came at the appointed time;
the dinner was gay, and the conversation was
lively; every subject was introduced, ex--
cept the one which had been the occasion of
the dinner. Latremblaye thought Eu,enia
charming. She was we'll informed, and had
vivacity and wit.-After dinner she intro
duccd the affair of the unfortunate lady.
l4atrcmblaye heard with attention, and prom
lsed to draw up the memorial in two days.
He performed his promise, and succeeded
pectcctly well, energy, clcarness, precision;
nothing was wanting-Eugenia read it with
the remarks of the highest satisfaction.


'There is strength, "a sensbility, sir, in
the style which render it impossible for the
minister not to yield to your reasoning; and
were in the minister's place, you should
certainly not experience refusal"


l.atremblaye blushed, and knew not what
to reply.


Nor is this all, sir: we must give to your
memorial new degree of eloqucnce; it must
be presented by the person herself who is
supposed to have written it. The gesture,
voice and look of the person Interested will
add to the impression it ought to pronounce.

air. II have procured an interview for to-
morrow; give your friend notice, and with
this paper all doors will be open to herr


"What gratitude do owe you9 You will
have the satisfaction of having snatched this
poor family from despair; but do not aban-
don her till you have conducted her to the
door. y woman softened by grief, and tim
id would appear to disadvantage unaccom-
panied. Do you consent to so with her.''
i This last act of complaisancc cost Latrem-
blayc much, yet the habit of yielding to the
wishes Of Engenia, the desire of insuring the
success Of the business, curiosity to see the
unknown, conquered his repugnance, and
he promised to come the next dav to Eu-
gcnia's where the mysterious lady was to
be.


The next day, Eugenia without being full
dressed, was more carefully dressed than
usual; her hair fell gracefully over her fore


head and down her neck, hereyes sparkled,
and her bosom heaved, as Latremblaye en-
tered. He looked around the room and said
"thc lady is not yet come?''


NO" replied Eugenia, with some emo


ton.


81 will wait for her,
He took seat near the tea-table at which
, Eugena was sitting. A silence of some min


utes ensued.--Each stole looks at the other.
, I.atrembayc blushed and would have been
t put out Of countenance if Eugenia had not
blushed also.


Latrembaye at length said, but with some
, hesitation, 81 ought madam TO bless this cir


cumstance (Eugcna cast her eyes upon the
ground> which has introduced me to your ac-
quaintance."


"Whatcver satisfaction you feel, sir, YOU
must derive from conviction of merit. The
zeal you have shown--I assure you'll have
t been-gratiied pleas ed with it.'
A ience ensued us long as the first.
: Latremblaye at length took desperate res
S olution.


II know not that am doing right; but
cannot conceal what l feel--you know it as


we'll as do.'


Eugena could by word have relieved
: his embarrassment; but in such circum-
stances the female bosom, however hu-


ma, e, never carries its humanity SO far,
