An Operatic Romance.

In April, 1800, while the young and lovely daughter of the Earl of D was enjoying, her usual afternoon airing along thaw” Lady's Mile," her fan dropped from her hand over the side of the carriage, and she ordered her coachman to stop anil recover it. Ooacliy curbed his high-step-pers to a halt as quickly as possiblo; but before he could descend from his perch, a gentleman of resplendent black whiskers and immaculate costume appeared at the side ’Of the vehicle, and with a courtly how, presented the lira. A blushing “ thank you, sir” rewarded the act, ami the coachman was directed to head his liotses for Bclgravc Square; hut theJEarl’a daughter carried home in her bosom a vivid mental photograph of the knight of the fan, anu could not help fancying that a soqhaUung in the expression ot' the fine hlibpk eyes luul silently .pleaded for a further acquaintance. To employ the term best understood .by her sfex, she was, in fact, “ struck ” with his distinguished appearance, and couldn’t get him out of her heath It was one Of those eases of in- ■ smntimeduß infatuation which are qhiteas common with the gentler as with the Sternfflysthc. ,The Vftung lady drove In the pafk, (tt the shme hour, On every succeeding afternoon ot the week, for the particular purpose of catching another glimpse off th® elegant stranger. All her efforts to that end, however, proved vain untH one,evening It the' Royal Italian- Opera, where- she accidentally dropped her lorgnette from fier box. Upon that ex- , kjitimg- occasion * several white eravated gentlemen sprang to pick up the pearl and gold biiou; hut there was a quicker I p»bef<k-*,U\cm %11, and the lorgnette was presented by the whiskered unknown of Hyde Park.

Like a sensible English girl, our heroine took this ail very phUoeqphwnlJy. wfil sang msfrily traja la tq’ the music of a guitar, until tjm pccnliar purity and freshness of her voice attracted the critical attention of her husband, lie called In a celebrated maestro to hear her sing, and was 'rejoiced to learn that hfs wife had a voice worth a fortune to her.' A master Was at once secured foitho lively lady; she studied tire Italian . language and artistic method with avidity, and,-a} tfic roqncet of her lord, consented to sing in public. As a result, the whole city wont wild with enthusiasm over a new diva, and she received an invitation to become scco r nd chnnteune at La Bcalo. Accepting, she gained such a series of triumphs that her husband was frantic With mingled pride and joy. On tho occasion of her benefit he evinced this spirit by giving a grand supper to the dAotunti of Milan, retirod to his bed in an exalted state of intoxication, and died of apoplexy before morning. Has lady buried him with sincere sorrow, and was hardly conscious of what would be her next step when she deceived an offer of an engagement at the English Royal Italian Opera. Withsubducd joy she took advantage of the opportunity to see once more her native land, apd under her fanciful Italian stage name was soon captivating the musical Londoners by her glorious voice. When her English fiunc was at its height, the Earl of I) , hearing particularly of her beau.. ty, went to the opera to observe for himself. He recognized his ungrateful daughter, and even swelled with paternal pride when showers of bouquets and whirlwinds of applause greeted her at the termination of each act of the ” Flgiin.” A surprising magnanimity took possession of his noble breast. He would reclaim the organ-grinder’s widow; he would raise her to his own sphere again; he would restore liis fatherly favor to the idol of art and the haut ton, and would finally marry her off to some titled noodle. Filled with these generous intentions, he doputed a friend to bear liis card to the dressing-room of the prima donna, and was much her refusal to see him. “ She fears my reproaches,” said he, after due consideration; anti on the morrow caused the same friend as before to bear Ids offer of paternal recognition to the goddess of song. The friend u-fts readily admitted to an audience, and became therefrom astonished for the remainder of hia life. The lady said: ‘‘My father cast me off for marrying the gentlfeman of my choice. lie refused to recognize me in my (lays of poverty and obscurity. Now that lam rich and famous, I refuse; to reeognize him. Lei' qs be strangers to each other.” All further ad : vancos were unavailing, and my lord And his daughter remain strangers, 1

The Game of Chess.

Tub story iff the origin of the game of chess is something after this wise: An an cicnt ruler, wearied with the old, worn-otlt sports of-the period, offered a reward for the invention of a game which should *hmbine amusement and instruction. His Grand yizier thereupon, after long study, invented the game of chess, as being a ]»tstim6 - and a 9 teaching in epitome (heart of concentrating forces, attacking, defending, retreating, etc., as applied to military tootles. Tne King was so delighted with ihe game that he told the Vizier to name his own reward. The wise man replied tkat for hia reward he would- Ontyfesk foil a certain number of kernels of corn, oft the following plan;- Two kernels for thCftrst square on thoehess board, four kernels for the second square, eight for the third, and so'off itp to the sixty-fourtiu, square, the number of kernels for efich square being double that for the preceding one. The King, laughing, granted the modest request, but. upon computation, it was discovered that, not only was there not so much grain in tfnrkingdoin, but that the Wole world could hardly produce, in*lmlf a scoro of years, the grain necessary to make good the king’s promise. Allowing 1580 grains of corn to the ounce, ana 50 pounds to the bushel, tho amount required to fill the bill would lie 17,84i5,640,418,887 bushels, and some odd pounds over. The number of grains would be 9,565,810,662,84(5,881,936.
