'All that,' says bis visitor with in- ceeasing sympathy ; 'I feel jest like you.' Responsibility is wearing me out.

Violent 1'says he when he can speak, and then he laughs •again'so heartily that Mr. I3 )hail perforce joins in the merriment, although ignoraut of its cense. 'Did you think George was a tic ?' he says at length, 'Ifor a part I declare you are better Toole.' Yon said he wits in a. lunatic asy- lum, what would any one think from that ?' demanded A1r. Bobhun, slightly aggrieved. 'So he his, but not as a patinet, He is doctor of the Southway Asylum, I thought you knew that.

'The old people ---yes; tend George d used to know, long, lenge ago, but I have rather lust sight of him of late.' 'Ah, yes. IIe's abont the best of them, lie's in a lunatic asylu,n now. Odd how things came round. 'No 1 you don's say so. I never hard a word of it. I met the old man, Sir John, at the Gorings the other piglet, and he said nothing of it.' 'Well, he wonldn't you know, 'tisn't likely,' says lir. AVildi ; e, 'it's a sort of +')h ! no ; we never intention him' sort of affair altogether. You see they set their aifactions on George—swore by ignorance without delay, and when I Mentioned your name (I was afraid to go myself) he said he'd ha. awful glad to see you also. Will you come ?' 'I will,' says Bohun briskly. 'L should rather fancy renewing acquaintance with George. He was always a very decent fellow.' 'With uncommon pretty sisters--' 'That enohances his value threefold,' :lays Mr, Bohun approvingly. 1: * The first feeling that fills. . the breasts of Air. Wilding and itis friend as they enter the ball root, at Southway is one of distinct disappointment. It is very snuck like any other ball room there is no denying this sad fact ; our friends acknowledged its truth, with a sigh and a secret seusation of surprise and yatistaction. They lead expected something dif. fereut ; something with a touch of burlesque abcut it here and there that would have made it stand out conspicu- ously from among the common rank of entertainments. They had fondly looked for a festival that would. have resembled in a mild ,fashion a meeting of the Feejee Islauders, or a war dance among the iteclsllenks ; and after all they find themselves gazing az a ball that is as nearly as possible similar to an ordinary West End affair. flim—tLr,gght be had the entire brains Naturally, therefore, they are lit - of the family ; anti when he was spun gg�� qs t� s �j q A PENS. or the I.

'No of course not, poor fellotv,' tones of deepest cemmieeratiou. 'Ylu,re A 1 at sympathy,' says Ie1r. Wilding, 'your face will certainly matte voor fortune in court some any.

Half an flour later, standing with his back to a door,ehis eyes fell upon a young and very pretty girl sitting. alone upon a couch at some distance from him. Her hands, were folded on her knees, her eyes are wandering slowly down the crowed beyond her. She is dressed in some filmy robe of blaelc, a little open at the neek,througlh which her skin shines with dazzling fairness. Her sleeves are but short to the elbow, so that her arias, soft and rounding as a ohitds, oan be half seen.

It is • with some faint feeling of apprehension he takes this step, lunatics, however beautiful, not being aitogether to hie teaete. 'Seeing yon alone,' he began very respectfullly,' 'I thought. perhaps you would let me come and talk to you for a little.' The distraught beatify tarns her head and regara:3 him speculativly— perhaps a trifle uervously--before reply- ing. 'Oh 1 certainly,' site says then, in a very sweet voice that has a plaintiff ring in it: 'Thank you,' says Bobun grtiefully, seating himself be-ide her. Glancing at the room generally, he says present. ly with a view to malting couveasa- iron : 'This is rather a gay scene is i t not?' (TC BF CCNTINn1:D.)
