ance with the usual law of nature, old
Boodle hail to be, befoi•e young Boodle
could be, and so old Boodle was, and
flourished as a variety of art critic. He
knew as much of art as a sucking pig,
and Do niore ; but he had the reputation
of knowing more than all the worthies
chronicled by Vasari, and that did quite
as, wen. He had. an aristocratic stddio
in one of the most' aristocratic parts of
the town, and there personages of the
highest rank might be seen patiently
waiting for the liberty of speaking a few
viords with the mighty Boodle. He was
an lionorar3 member of the art socie-
ties of Europe, and had enough letters
after his name th open all patent
"Amen." locks in Christendom. If a new
engraving came out, his name was
among the first in the list of subscribers,
and as often as not figured in the adver-
tisement, appended to _something to this
effect :
" I have seen the proofs of the enemy-
ing, (N. or M., as theca.se might ber, and
am. much pleased' with the rare skill
with which the delicate beauty of the
original is preserved. I consider it a
contribution. ta British art of sterling
value. SOLOMON BOODLE."
Whenever anything 'of this kind ap-
peared, the engraving was sure of a great
run, although Boodle good man, could
make nothing or -it ; 'for he would not,
like some people, sell his name for a
price, oh, u0 ! He was supposed te write
the. art eriticisials in the Walthitick,, and
the artists who had pictures in the ek-
hibition nearly went mad with suspense
until the number appeared. He was the
bane of artist's lives, and more than one
youna aspirant to Academic honors had
been I-nown to commitsuicide after read-
ing' one of Boodle's netices, while others,

elevated ta the very top of the tree by

charmed by his unsophisticated intelli-
gence, kicked him. He met the oldest
inhabitant, wbo made many disparagirig
refincitions on the subject of .strangers
general and Boodle in particular. He
met an old woman with a sugar -loaf hat
upon her head.; and then, despairing, he
returned to the inn and went straight to
his bedrootn---not to sleep, however, for
he took his diary from his knapsack and
made an entry.

he lit a cigar, and sat at. the open :win-

opening the valise, he took therefrom

the purpose of discussine the merits of the

After old' Boodle's lamented decease,
young Boodle making no difference in his
style of living, the meeting still went on
as before. One evenieg, about a year
after that lamented occurrence, the two
friends met' in Boodle's luxurious cham-

himself - -
" Thus, I suppose, will ye hiss me,

when I have found the: object of my
search ; but let those laugh who win."
Then- suddenly bethinking himself
that be had not *on yet, he walked hure
riedly on. He wandered about for a
long time, until finally he found himself
seated upon a Mossy stone and listening
to a legend Connected with the ruined
castle. It was of a maiden who bad been
imprisoned there hy a hard-hearted
parent for daring to love a nanseless
squire ; and the narrator, whose figare-
head, if not his heart, wag certainly of
oak, and very cross-grained at that, gave
Bosidle a full and_ exact description of
her personal appearance.
" She:was a fair little maid," said this
wooden -visaged gentleman, " with large
blue eyes and long goldea hair, just like '
Miss Mari."
Boodle pricked ap his ears.
" Peace, beating heart 1" saiil he to
himself. " Oh, if thie should prove to
be she !" Then he cOptinued in a
rational tone, aloud. " But Who is Miss
Mari?"
" Why, dunno ye know ! - Did ye
norra see Missus Lloyd's niece ?" -
" No," replied Boodle. - " You cannot
mean Mrs. .Lloyde of the Ap Skenkin
Inn ?" .
" Of course I do mean un," replied the
man ; " who else ?"
Boodle gave the man a sovereign, the
largeness of which amount so stupefied
him. that he could only gaze at it in si-
lent meander While Boodle walked off as
fast as legs would carry him, towards
the inn.. Just as he entered the door he
heard one maid.servant say to atiother
that Miss Mari. wouldn't' be in till the
evening.. He gave a heavy sigh of dis-
app.ointment, and, taking out hie diary,
made a aote of this effect :

dungeon- and piped away her life there.

told me something that caused my heart
to forget its -sadness. •In describing the

sent, but when she re4urns I can jadge

Just as Boodle laid down his pen the
landlady entered. the rpom and inquired
if the gentleman desired his dinnel
" How can the woman ask nse such a
questioa ?" Said.Boodle to himself,. as he
politely aignified his disinclination to eat
anything and hi8 wish to be left aloae.
The landlady withdrew,. and Boodle be-
gan to repent of his hasty decision.
What if, for the Want of proper nour-
iehment, I should not have strength to
address her, and she should think me a
fool ?" thought he. The idea was SO.
