A POSTAL WCRTSfllP. "She ia really the prettiest little creature I ever saw," eaid Mr. WilIougliby Vane, as ho turned from the window for the fiftieth time that mornine. "Jane." he added, address inz the housemaid, who wa3 clearing away the breakfast thing3, "have you any idea who the people are who have taken old Mr. Adderly s nouse op Dosite?" "Wall, yes. Sir, if you please," re turned the handmaiden. 1 met their cook at the goocer'a the other day, and she said that her master's name was Black Casein Choker Black and that he was staying here on leave of absence with his wife and daughter. Sir." "Oh, indeed! Did she happen to mention the young lady's name?" "103, Sir. She called her M133 Eva." , "Eva! What a charming nameT' murmured Willaugby to himself; and then he added, aloud: "That will do, Jane, thank you." Mr. Willoughby Vane was a bachelor, twentyeight years years old, rich, indolent and tolerably good-looking. He lived with a widowed mother in a pleasant house in the (Jlapham road, and, having nothing else to do, had fallen desperately in love with hia pretty vis-a-vis, and anxiously Bought an opportunity for an introduction. However having discovered the name of his enchantress, he determined to address her anonymously by letter. Having decided upon taking this step, the next thing to be done was to put it into execution; and, having shut himself fa his little study, after many futile attempts, he succeeded in framing an epistle to the lady to his satisfaction; begging her.it she valued his peace of roind, to return an answer to " W. V. The Post Office, Clap-ham-comnon." That done, he went out for a walk, and dropped the letter ' in tho nearest box. Regularly three times a day for a week afterward, ha called at the post office to see whether an answer had arrived for him. As the week advar ced Willoughby began to lose his appetite, and grew so restless and irritabla that Mrs. Vane, like a fond mother, fancied that her dear boy was unwell, and begged him to consult their medical attendant. Bat her son laughed at the idea, knowing well that his complaint was beyond the doctor's skill to cure. He was beginning to despair of ever receiving a reply, when, to his great delight, on the seventh morning, a letter was handed to him by the postmistress, written in a daintv' female hand, and addressed to "VV. V." Almost unable to conceal his emotion, he quitted tho shop, broke open the sea?, and drank in the oontents. They were evidently of a pleasing nature, for he read the letter over again and again, kissed the envelope, put it in his breast coat-pocket, and hurried home to see his inamorata looking out of the window of the opposite house, as usual. For a moment, his first impulse was to salute her respectfully, but immediate afterward he bethought himself that, as ho was still incognito, the young lady would, perhaps, feci insulted by hid action. Besides, how could she havo any idea that he was "VV. V.?" So ho went indoors, and amused himself for three hours inditing a reply to her letter, which he posted the fa no a'ternoon; and ia due cours3 a second answer arrived. And so matters went on, a constant interchange of letters being kept up for a fortnight, during which time Mr. Willoughby Vane spent his days running to and from tho post pfHco, writing letters, and watching bij fair neighbor from the window of the dia ing room. "Confound it!" ho would sometimes say to himself. "How very provoking the dear girl i! She never will look this way. I do wish I could catch her eye, if only for a moment. What horridly Bour looking old crab the mother is! Depend upon it Willoughby, that poor child is anything but happy at home with those two old fogies. Indeed, her letters hint as much." And having given vent to his feeling3, he would put on his hat and walk to the post office, or shut himself in his room and comroie another note to his "Deiro3t Eva." At length, three weeka haviag flown rapidly away in this manner, ho received a letter one morning from the young lady, which ran as follows: "to w. v. Sir: As it is useless to continue a correspondence in thig manner, I think it ii now time for you to throw off your incognito, and reveal your true name and position to one to whom you are not totally indinerect. lialieve ma that nothiozinsDires love like mu tual confidence, l'rova to me that I have not been imprudent in answer ing your letters by at onoe informing me who you are. It is with no feci ing of idle curiosity I ask this, simpiy for our mutual satisfaction. "Yours, etc.. - Eva." To which Willoughby repliei by return of post: "Dearest Eva: If you will per mit me to call you so! Have you not for weeks past observed a young tr sn with his hair brushed back, anxiously watching you from the window of the opposite bou3ef And altnorga ycu have apparently never taken the slightest notice of him. 1 trust that hia features are not altogether repul sive. I am that individual. : "Charmed by the gracful magic of thlae eye. Day after day I watch, and dream, and Watcu ihee. dream of thee, slzb. for the alone, Fair star of Claphani may I add my own To quote, with some alterations, the noble stauza of the poet Brown ! And now I have a favor to ask of you Whenever you see me at the window take no notice of me at present, les my mother should observe it. to few diva she will bo going out of town and then we can throw on all restraint Till then adieu I iuy ycj are ever on you. lour own Willpugiiby Vans. To whioh epi3tlo cams the follow inz answer: Uearoii: lour explanation is perfectly satisfactory. I may also add, that your features are not at sii repulsive to Eva." "Bless her! What a deligtfal little Eoalsheis!" ejiculitod Willoughby. And ho went out, ordared a new suit of clothes, and had his hair cut. "Willy," said Mrs. Vane to her eon the next morning. "I wish you would do something to improvo your mind, and r.oi wa3to your tima by looking out of tho window all tho dy as you have lately done. Corno and read the Parliamentary debates to mo if you hive nothing else to J?." Tho worthy lady was a red-hot politician, and for three racrtal houre she kept him at this delightful task; at th9 expiration of wlisoh time he suo- - oeeded io escaping to hia own room, where he wrote the rollowing note to Eva: "Dearest Eva: 1 id overjoyed at tho contents of your t comosunication. It, as you say, ov features aro not altogether repulsive- to you,

may I hope that you will consent to be mine mine only? "WiLLorGOEr." Back came the reply next morning. "Dbar Willouuhbt: Your reply has made me feel very happy. It is very dull here no society except my father and mother. I long for mora congenial companionship. Thine, Eva" In this delightful manner the days flew on halcyon days, too, they were for Willoughby, and sweetened by the interchange of this and similar loverlike correspondence. Oa the following Monday morning Mrs. Vane left town on a visit to some friends in Devonshire, leaving her son to keep house at home.. That same afternoon one of Captain Black's servants brought the following note to Willoughby: "Willie: Have you any obiectioa to my telling my dear papa all? Matters have now gone so far- that it will be impossible for cither of u3 to retract what we have written. Let us take papa into our confidence. I know his kind and generous nature well, and have no fear that he will oppose our union. Praysend mealine by bearer. Eva." The answer was as folio w3: "Mr Own Eva: Do whatever you consider best. My fate is in your hands. If your papa should refuse his consent, I But I will not think of anything so dreadful! Fear not that I shall ever refract. .Life without you would lea desert, with no oasis to brighten it.

Yours uatil death. Willoughby." That evening, just as Willongby had finished dinner, he heard a loud double knock at the street door; and on its being opened, a strange voice inquired, in a loud tone:"Is Mr. Willoughby Vane at.home." His heart beat violently as Jane, entering his room, said: "A gentleman wishes to speak with you in the library, Sir." And she handed him a card, inscribed "Captain Choker Black, C. B., II. M.'b 1,794th Foot." "I will be with him in a moment," said Willoughby; end be swallowed a couple of glasses of 6herry, to nerve him for the interview. . "Captain Choker Black, I believe?" he said as he entered the library. "Your servant, sir," said the gallant Captain who, plass in eye, was busily engaged in scrutinizing an engraving of the battle of JNavarino, "Your servant, sir, Have I the pleasure of addressing Mr. Willoughby Vane?" Willoughby bowed. "Then, sir, of course, you know the business that has btought me here?" Terribly nervous, acd scarcely knowing what answer to make, our hero bowed again. "Come, come. Sir, don't be afraid to speak out! My dajuhter has made me her confidant, so let there be no reserve between us. Eva has told ru3 alll" Here poor Willoughby blushed up to the roots his hair. "You seeI know all about it. You have fallen desperately in love with the poor girl; and, although ycu have never exchanged throe words together, you are already engaged to be married. Mighty expeditious, upon my word. Ha! ha! ha! Pray, excuse me for laughing, but the idea is somewhat comical! Ha! ha! ha!" As the Capfam appeared to bo in a very good humor, -Willoughby's courage began to rise. "Don't mention it. Sir. .Yo.1 aro her lathsr, and have a right to do what you please. But I sincerely trust that you have no objections to offer." "I? None! Believe mo, I shall bo delighted to see my Eva comfortably settled. But harkyo. Sir.

Are you engaged la any business or profession?" "None " "Then how oa em to do you live?" "Oa my private income, Captain." "Then all loan say is, you're an un com-ijonly lucky felio v to be able to subsist on that. I only wish I could. What 13 your income?

"Say no more about it, Clap on your hat and come across the road with me, and I'll introdue you to m daughter at once." Scarcely knowing what he wa3 about, Willough by did as he was told. They crossed the road together, and the captain opened his door with a latchkey. "One moment, if you please," said Willoughby, who was titivating his hair and arranging his cravat. "Are you ready now?'1 asked the Captain. "Quite." "Mr. Willoughby Vane," cried the Captain, ushering our hero into the drawftg-room" Then, waving his hand he added, "Allow me to introduce you to my wife and daugh er."

Willoughby looked exceedingly foolish as he bowed to the two ladies. Oa a couch by the fireside sat his enchantress, looking more bewitchingJy radiant than ever: her vis a vis being the tall, thin, angular woman in black that he had frequently noticed from over the wa. "What a contrast," thought Willoughby,"between mother and daughter." "Annie, my dear, Mr. Willoughby Vane is nervous no doubt. Y'ouknow the old adage. Let us leave the young people together, and he'll soon find his tonguo then, I'll wager," said the Captain, addressing the younger of the two ladies, who immediately rose from her seat. St8y, Sir there is some mistake here!" eaid Willoughby. "This lady is " and he pointed to the guant female. "My daughter, sir!" said the Captain. "My daughter by my first wife." "And this " ejaculated ou hero, turning to tho young lady. "Is my secosd wife, Bir!" Mr. Willoughby Vane fled from his home that night. About a month later his almost broken-hearted mother received a letter frsm him explaining the whole affair ; and tho post mark bore the words "Montreal, Canada." Once a week. GROCERIES.
