One hundred years ago, what Mr. John Murray, of Albcrmarle street, is now to the city of London, was 31 r. Janves Haley to the city of Dublin. Besides being a publisher, he was the proprietor of a newspaper called the Cnblin

Mr. Haley's drawing-room was over the 'Mercury's

fashion had not driven tradespeople into houses away from their shops and the place of business which supplied the publisher with his fortune he considered quite good enough to furnish him with a residence^ In addi-ithe corner of tion to the family circle occup3ring this drawing-room one mild summer's evening were Gabriel Guertier. a young Frenchman, and Charles Talbot.

Talbot was about five-aud-twenty years old at the period at which 1113' story opens. Without being a strikingly handsome man, he was possessed of pretty much every requisite,to manly beauty. A lofty,white forehead large, flashing black eyes asweet smile, disclosing the whitest teeth aud a form strong, well proportioned, and supple, made him rather a dangerous foe to the peace of mind of those youiig ladies whom he took it into his head to attack.

Gabriel was Grace's recognized lover. They had been engaged some time, and it was almost impossible to conceive any passion more pu^e, more unvarying than that which subsisted between tne young people.

friendly familiarities. Grace, who was sharp at detecting the secret dislike of her lover for Talbot, could not, however, s\-mpathize with it. There was au attractiveness about Talbot that was not to be resisted. He was just one of that kind of men whom a man has most to fear as a rival, and whom a woman has

The admiration, however, which she excited among the literary, and even the aristocratic circles iu which she moved, did not in the least aJl'eetj most to delight in as a lover, her.

that of her sister Grace. She had been left motherless at an earl3' age but iu Mr. Haley she found a father who supplied every want engendered by the absence of the other parent, with a tenderness, a pride, and a care that created a loved between them that was little short of adoration.

One evening a brilliant party was given l)3r Jcphson, the dramatist, iu his rooms in Change Alley. Among those present were Mr. Haley, Grace, Elizabeth and Guertier. Card tables were scattered about the room, around which might be seen assembled groups attired in the picturesque costumes with which the paintings of that period have made us all familiar. Elizabeth was seated near one of these card tables, watching a game of basset that was being dexterously played, when her attention was called away b3' some persons laughing hcartHv in the room: and 011 ris-

'Elizabeth, though courted, caressed and flattered on every side, had-, as jret, no lover, of her own. Many other girls placed iu her position would, doubtless, have fallen in love pretty near every other day, considering the amount of attention she got from men for whom all the Dublin girls were sighing. But somehow or other, in proportion as she was more wooed, so she became more exacting. Her suitors all wanted some one thing more than the poor fellows happened to possess it might be abetter shaped nose, a smaller mouth, whiter hands, a quicker wit, a liner character, a more generous heart, etc. And so it came to pass that she let them, all go by her, including even in her contempt a viceroy, without feeling her heart in the slightest degree affected by the trying ordeal through which her beauty had compelled her to pass.

But a chaugc was to come over the dream of her life. The smile and eyes of Charles Talbot were at length to achieve a conquest that it was the general opinion among the beaux of Dublin was wholly impracticable.

Talbot had brought a letter of recommendation from the Earl of Shrewsbury to Mr. Haley. This, together with the specimens of his skill, as au engraver, had induced the publisher to give him emplo.ymeiit. lie acquitted himself so admirably that in the shortest time possible he had won for himself the regard and confidence of his employer.

It occurred that during the evening to which I have referred, Mr. 11 a Icy had left the room for a short time. The night was darkening outside. Elizabeth rose, she stirred the Ore, and, while the ruddy glow lighted her lovely features, turned to Talbot and exclaimed "Eveiybody hears a good deal of the Earl of Shrewsbury but I've ncvor met anybod}- yet who knows him personally, saving yourself. What kind of a looking man is he, Mr. Talbot Is he handsome, to begin With

"Tolerably handsome. I don't think him very good-looking, though I believe the reverse is the opinion of a good many."' •'Is he old V"

Talbot smiled. •'One of the most piquant traits in :t woman's character is curiosity. Let me congratulate you upon the possession of it in an eminent degree.''

He showed his white teeth, and flashed his eye upon her as he spoke. She colored a little, and looked downward at the fire. "Is he often in love, Mr. Talbot V"

If Mr. Haley was happy in the possession of a newspaper which found unlimited patronage among the pub lie and the Government, which enrolled among its contributors the names of Marley, the Dean of Ferns, asked Grace. and Jcphson, dramatist, and which "Not often.

But her white, contracted brows distinctly denied her words. Scarcely had Guertier left her side when Talbot approached her. "'I have come to take you to the nC-vt room." lie said, gaily.

He stopped abruptly, fixing his big eyes upon her with an expression half of rage, half of adoration. "It would be advisable for us not to meet again." she said, rising and bowing haughtily to him.

He turned deadly pale. "And all through a caricature of a stupid fool!" lie said.

She drew herself up, and gave him one look then, turning sharply round, she followed Guertier into the adjoining room. In a quarter of an hour after the part}' left.

They had been placed in the drawingroom, and during the da\r parties of strangers would drop in lor the purpose of inspecting them.

Elizabeth was seated alone in the room, contemplating the engravings with an abstracted gaze. .She had entered just as sonic visitors had taken their departure. Hardly five minutes had elapsed when the door was suddenh- thrown open, and Mr. Talbot was shown iu. Oil seeing him Elizabeth uttered a loud ciy. He stopped, as if struck Avith astonishment then, hastil3r advancing, he exclaimed "I little expected to meet you here, Miss Hal03*.

Her grief seemed to broaden around her. It was miserable to remember tjuit she had lost a lover whom she so adored. It was almost death to-know he had been lost.

She accepted the invitation to spend a few weeks with some friends in London, thinking that new scenes would help to subdue the dejection to which her mind was now constantly a prey. But the very hum and shock of the huge metropolis seemed only to add new bitterness to her sense of solitude.
