A'Homance;oe:

It was at Thun that I first caught sight of her. Now, happily, I have the right to say her. You have seen, at some theatre, a lovely fairy, in a pork pie hat, step out suddenly from behind the wings, charming all the male beholders ranging between the ages of fourteen and fourscore. That morning the drying ground, a little below tfcer market places wasfujl of Bhe'efs-twent times more than Wuld be required to serve as screens for a'private theatrical. Behind them I heard a silver voice which said, "this way papa! I am sure this is the way to the Freienhof." And then there came forth from behind the white curtain a vision which made me forget everything else. I had, of course, "seen pretty girls before, but I had never yet seen my pretty girl. It was not the fair, clear complexion, flaxen hair, nor the coral lips, which shot the dart; but it was the bright, spontaneous way in which those hazel eyes met mine; the extraordinary quickness with which wq, exchanged, a, glance; the slight blush afidha gentle smile which followed as h4r eyest dropped immediately afterward; and the involuntary halt, as if one had something important to say, and the other expected something important to be said. As for papa, I don't think I saw him at all that time. You have heard of love at first sight? That is just what it was. They went their.. way, through tne tiny market into the street; and I think I remember that she walked very slowly, as if she would have been'zhd to sit down and rest. I was nailed to the spot, looking after her until she was out of sight. Of one thing only was I thoroughly conscious. I had seen my wife, if ever I was to ha,ve a wife,. v That face, hat figure., arid5 Jthat voice,4 tad a renfr in the clouds of futurity, through whose long perspective secret presentment showed me my future. Talk of your magic mirrors, your enchanted crystals! Talk of distant events revealed in drops of ink! There is no magic like a sympathetic glance. Ihe way to the r reienhot! it was the very hotel I was staying at. But the direction they took was nof the way to the i?reiennor. were they going for a stroll of discovery, or had they merely mistaken their wayr Time would show. Saith the Proverb, Everything comes to him who can wait. I could wait, and did wait, where I was. While wondering at, though perfectly understanding, the novel ferment which then was working within me, my field of view was crossed by a solitary individual who was proceeding onward with uncertain steps. His make-up was fashionable, though perhaps a little seedy; but that tells for nothing on a continual trip... His blaek ha!r inight beVlittle too ringletty, his whiskers a little too Dundsearyish. His hat had contours and lines or beauty in its rim more suited to Rotten Row than to searches after the picturesque. He made you doubt whether he were a very gentlemanly man indeed, or not a gentleman at all. You must have seen him on some race course or-somebody excessively like him. The face looked a little awkward and bravely carried the . smile which is peculiar to opera dances, and the world obliged to play the part of universal amiables. "I beg your pardon, Sir," he said preceiving. me. . "I, really beg ten thousand pardons r but-you do me the very great.favor to tell me the way to the Freienhol?" He italicised tuooe worus with a melodious drawl. "My friend, Sir Charles, who brought me to Thun in' his carriage; tried td persuade me to" remain at the Bellevue charming housex excellent table, magnificent view, good society ! Quite, in short, my style of thing. Sir. Bat, although the Freienhof is only second rate, I had promised to go "there promising, Sir; And when a lady is in the case " "Hang the .fellow and his confidential talk !" ' I grumbled to myself. "What a nuisance, to be so interrupted! At such an interesting moment, too!" So rising my hat, I coldly answered,. "You have only tor go straight forwaid, take the first turn to the left, and you will reach the Freii "Much obliged; very much indeed,!' he - replied, with treacley suavity. "Such kindness to an utter stranger! Pray do -me the honot to : accept my card. You are doubtless at the Bellevue? You are not going to the Freienhof?" - - - - "No, I am not. Sir," I fear I growled; internally adding, "until I think proper." "I thank you very much. This way, I think?" '.Aha with a honeyed bow, he took his leave. "Mr. Percy Howard!" I muttered, looking at the card, which I had not been able to avoid receiving. "Every Howard kin with Norfolk's Duke. For me you are too mealy-mouthed. But what has become of the other parties?" I bad not very long to wait. As I expected, the father and daughter had taken the 'wrong' turn, and were now retracing their steps. She dfd not seem the least surprised to find me lingering there; nor did hefor-he had never given me a thought. Now or never was the time to make an attempt at smnehi7tg.i m ( ry. ''Pray exeuse me, Sir," Iaid, a little flurried, "but I think I overheard you mentioning th Freienhof Hotel. I am staying there, and this is the way tp.it , You cau reach it almost Lmme-diareV-' 'But' it is; still;twd- hours to the table de hote dinner; and if if you are not too tired there is .a wonderful prospect close at hand, which

CHIROMlHCrrrrwill repayyou forthe "trouble of

mounting to it! ; . " "Indeed! What do you say, Maria? Do you think you could manage a little climbing?". ; " "I should like it above all things. Ever since I caught sight of it, I have been wishing to get a better view of that brilliant white mountain the Blunilisalp, I think." ; ' "Very well,' my dearv Let us go to the inn and ask them for a guide to the spot -'which the gentleman is so obliging as to- " " ' a - : "Quite needless,' Sir," I interposed. 'I was1 proceeding there when V saw, you pass a freak of fancy ordinarily known as a fib ; 'andif you allow me l will lead the way. "Is it far?" the papa replied1,", "Is it steep " ' . "Neither one nor ' the , other. To reach their point of view we have only to mount this long covered ' staircase by a series of low steps which are suited almost for children's feet. "Is the young -; lady 1 beginning to '' feel tired?" e , "Not in-the least. But if it were, here is a landing place which will give us a minute's breathing: ' How curious ! It is the centre of fie different staircases, 'some running' up and some taking you down,"- - 1 i ;.! t"This one is ours.' .'Let us follow it We have reached the cemetery, and have no further to climb. We have only a few steps to 'take ' on level f round; and now, if yon please, look orward.'' ;' " i "How beautiful !" she exclaimed; after a few moments' pause; "I had no inea until now : that the earta "was capable of so much beauty.'.! Never, never shall I forget this.day." After gazing again at the view she bestowed on me a look of ttunkfullness.i which was worth all the compliments in the world., I vThis noble sight, enjoyed in common, had set its seal on our companionship. We had already grown almost intimate! 'It 'was. 'understood J betw ep us two that we were riendSj if not something more. , , V -"It certainly is fine,",, assented the senior. "Mr. Howard would describe it in his most flowrey style.' f , Vi "Yes," said Maria,. "he s would 107 deed ; for he is not afraid to talk about what he does: not .understand. He eonfounds Romans with Greeks, and, on being made aware of bis, mistake, slips out of it byf calling them .both the ancients." 1 0 . . - u,-.. ismim! "You are prejudiced against him: You must try-and get over your ''dislike. ' I wonder, by the way, if he has arrived".""" I - . In Sw'ie's tratel. there is a peculiarity which is pleasing or not, according to circumstances.' If you are thereon any social speculation, to marry off your daughters, to make acquaintances you would not be likely to pick up at home, to light upon friends by unexpected chances, you can't have 3 better place of meeting, nor a surer rendezvous; but if your real aim is the beauties oFT nature, to" be "enjoyed in foetic retirement and quiet, you are iable to interruption. The fact is, that, as everybody except the climbers of unelimbed peaks is pursuing a beaten r track from which there is little deviation, if you meet an individual once you are almost sure to fall in with him again. On steamer, in diligence, at glacier foot," by waterfall, you find faces which have accompanied you throughout your itenerary. ; If you do the Wengern Alp, they go too ; if you go to see the G-issebach illuminated, you behold these physiognomies , which you have already, beheld reflecting daj-light at Lucerne, Berne, or Interlacken. If you like the faces, well and good; if you don't, their tracking your heels so closely becomes wearisome.; The only means of escape from such comrades is to ; stop somewhere and let the stream 'pass. The summer current will bring in a supp)y fresh from the inexhaustible spriogs'of British life. ' ' - Iu this way, even before they entered Switzerland, my charmer's father had picked up Mr. Howard, while Mr. Howard had not the least intention 0 loose his hold of his new acquaintance. Hence their expectation of meeting each other again at Thun. ' The slightest possible shade of annoyance at her pareut's partiality for liis new found iriend, overspread her face for an instant, and then she glanced again at the landscape. Turning to me, she asked. " What is that mountain which stands before us that dark green pyramid, clothed at its base with thick festoons of pine tree forest?" "That's my mountain my beloved Niesen. Everybody loves the Niesen. 4 All aroundhe Niesen' is a toast as popular here as All around the Wrekin' is in Shropshire. Niesen is a favorite name to confer mi dogs- and railway locomotives. Long live the noble Neisen! ; I stood on his top the other day." " "Indeed I Is it possible?" Maria exclaimed, regarding me, in her innocence, as an Alpine hero.. . , "It is not only possible, but so easy that you can make the ascent if you choose." , .., "Plea'sef I should enjoy above all things io be able to say I had. ascend ed a mountain After some discussion: the' gentle

man agreed that the ascent should be made. ". .By the way," he continued, " my name .is William Greenwood, of the firm of Greenwood, Uarkins and Blake, Manchester." ' , r .' And miue. Sir, is Henry Carter, the son of the late John Ildmund Carter, formerly' of -Manchester, latterly of Liverpool " - . ,.,.-. . "Really! I remember your father failed in my debt, giving a dividend of eight and sixpence on the pound." .; " Yes, Sir, he did ; and five years

afterward paid you in fulC with interest." 0 s " True ; like an honorable man as he was. To think 'of ;meeting poor Carter's son ' in this way, by chancel He left you. I ' believe, not so very badly off ?" ' .. V r'-.' " I am rich, by living within my in come" " " " And you are strolling about here, I suppose like the rest of us, without any definite purpose." " I am trying to put a little method into my trip bv comparing for ;my own private satisfaction, the. respective merits of several well known eminences which are reached on foot with no great exertion. I scrambled from one hill top to another, ' and note which pleases me best." ; 'i "The volume -under yiur' arm' is, doubtless, your guide book.' ; There are : so many, ' that it is" difficult ' to choose between them."" ' 1 " It is nothing so common place as that; but a resource for a" rainy day pr a leisure hour. . It is the Mysteries of the Hand, by Desbarrolles, in which the science of Chiromancy is fully and seriously expounded.'?. ! ;H ' n t. "A revival of an old delusion.-, But if people wilt pry into futurietyT! one form ot the folly is as good as anotherTTdu "will teir us about it by" and-byi it it time uow that; we I think of dinner." - At dinner, I had the great satisfaction of securing the seat next to her. Opposite to us. -was 1 Mr.- Percy Howi ard, looking anything but pleased at her favor I enjoyed; Maria (that I now knew to be the. delightful name): did. not like him more than I did, and received his. advances with undisguised coldness. "I fancied, J observed, that the, waiter behind ui was . strange in his manner toward, him, as if Mr.' Howard paid too particular attention to the polish of the forks and spoons within his reach.' To the discussion of our Neisen project Mr. Howard listened with open ears." It '- was agreed that I should go forward to Wimmis, the, village at the base' of the mountain,' to secure horses up it. and bedrooms in the little hotel at its top, and that they would drive there early the following morning to 'commence the ascent. immediately. : ' . ' ', ' ' 7 ' Next day, I bade a brief good by to' the father and daughter, and reached Wimmis, where every ' arrangement was speedily made. During the inn gossip of the afternoon singular inquiries were put to me respecting the strangers then at Thun. I answered them as well as I could, but what in truth was uppermost in my mind was the expected arrival of my fair one tomorrow. - ' - The morrow came, and with it my new friends) but tbey were not alone. Mr. Howard had fastened himself upon them, and with him,' a gentlemanly young fellow , enough rather too finespun an acquaintance, of his whom 1 had noticed at the tabled'note. As soon as they alighted, we set off, myself alone on foot, the rest of the party on horseback. , The asceut of the Niesen was glorious. Maria (by whose tide I walked, telling her guide to proceed in advance) was in ecstasies at the harmony of frights and sounds, at the tinkling of bells from cows and goats, with the 6tream of the Simme rushing below. Every turn of the zig-zag path presented us with a fresh point ot view. As we mounted higher, all was repose; soft colors melting hues of green and brown met our delighted eyes. The air was pure and balmy'; our minds, elevated the pcenery, entirely forgot the evrer wur.d, the roar or' city carriages, and the Dusy hum of men. '. ' " We met S'edges laden with mountain cheese, gliding down gently over the grass; we passed men carrying on their shoulders loads of wine and other provisions for consumption at the summit. We scaled one after the other, the ' three separate masses, which together constitute the Niesen. Near the top I crept down the rock, and was suddenly lost to' my companion's view. Maria uttered a pretty little scream, highly flattering to my self-importance. Soon returning, I had the pleasure of. presenting her with a handful of snow. fCf)XCLUDED TO-BIORBOW.
