So said Armand, a young artist, when a little com- pany of us were sitting together the other evening. My knapsack was on my shoulder, my ash- en stick in hand ; three leagues of dusty road had whitened me likea miller Whence I came, whither I was going—what matters it? I was not twenty years of age. My starting place, therefore, was home; my goal was Par adise—any earthly Paradise { couid find. The country was not particularly ipocreaer nye and the weather wes very hot. Great undulations of harvest laden fields rolled irregularly on all sides. Here was a hamlet; there was a solitary farm house ; yonder a wood : on each eminence a windmill Some peasants that were in the field sang, and the birds chirped at them asin mockery One or two wagons dragged by oxen and horses, slowly moved along the tree-bordered road I sat down on a heap of stones. A wagener graffly asked me it I was tired, and offered me ‘a lift ”’ [ accepted ; and soon I was stretebed where dung had been—jolted into an uneasy half- slumber, not without its charms, with the bells of the lazy team softly jingling in my cars, until thought fifty silver voices were calling me away to a home that must be bright, and a land that must be beautiful. I awoke in # mood sufficiently benign to re- ceive an apology, the man had forgotten me when he turned off the high road, and had taken me half a league into the country Where was the harm, honest wagoner? “I #m not going anywhere; “1 am only going to Paradise.”” There was no village of that name in the neighborhood, he said; but he had no doubt [ would be pleased to see the grounds of the chateau. Of course I had come on purpose for that. I handed him his pout-boire. “Drink my health, good man, and injure your own. Let us see these grounds” The man showed me through a meadow near the farm (to which he belonged) and left me, teasing the silver piece I had given him in his hand. I soon observed that the place was worth seeing. A hasty glance showed it to be a fragment of wild nature, occupied in its original state, and barricaded against civilization. There were woods, and solitary trees, and lakes, and streams of sufficient dimensions for gran- deur; and, when once tho wall disappeared amid the heavy foliage, I could at Dist dis: cern no traces whatever of the presence of man. However, on closer examination, I discovered that nature had been improved upon; that allobjects which might ungra- cieusly intercept the view, or deform a land- scape had been removed. There were no sham ruins nor artificial cascades; but the stranger's steps were led, by some ingenious process of plantation, insensibly to the best peints of view. I felt, and was thankful for the presence of the art which so industriously endeavored to conceal itself; but, being at that time, as most young men are, inclined | to compare great things with small—thinking to be epigrammatic and knowing—I excleim- ed aloud: ‘‘The toilet of this park has been admirably performed.’’ “A vulgar idea, vulgarly expressed,”’ said a clear, firm voice above me. I looked up, thinking that somebody was hidden in a tree, and, to my surprise, saw a young woman upon a fine large horse, holding a riding ioe Deedee over my head. She | had approached across the turf unheard, and | heard my exclamation, which, I assure you, | was meant for no ears but my own. “ Madame,”’ replied I, when I had recov- ered from my confusion, “I think you misun- derstand me. There is no vulgarity in com- paring a prospect in which every superfluity i 1s thus tastefully pruned away, to a woman, who, instead of loading herself with orna- ments, uses the arts of the toilet to display all | her beauties to the best advantage ”” ** The explanation will not do,’”’ she rephed, | “it wants frankness. Your phrase simply / meant that you were ashamed of the admira- | tion this view had at first-excited; and that you thought it congas | to exert the manly privilege of contempt. If I had not seen you yonder using your sketch-book, I should take you for a traveling hairdresser ’’ The tone and manner of my acquaintance puzzled me exceedingly; and I was at first rather irritated by the hostile attitude she as- ! sumed on such slight grounds. It was evi- ; dent she wished to provoke an intellectual contest ; for, at the moment, I did not under- stand that her real desire was to suppress the formalities of an introduction. I returned to ! the charge; she replied. A broadside of re partees was fired off on either side; but in- sensibly we met upon common ground, affec- | tation was discarded; and, as we streamed ! irregularly along the swardy avenues, or stopped at the entrance of a long vista—she utly walking ber docile jennet, I with my | and upon its mane—we made more advances towards familiarity and friendship in an hour | than would have been possible under any : other circumstances in a season. i Let me describe my impressions as I re- ceived them ; otherwise, how will the narra- tive illustrate the theory? I am endeavoring to show by example what an immense struc- ture of happiness may be built upon very . flimsy ground ; that the material sequences of | this life’s events need have no correspondence with the sequence of our sentiments; that— but I must not anticipate. = . The lady, dressed in a green riding habit, was remarkably handsome, as this miniature will show- And Armand drew a small case from his breast. n “Itis made from memory; but I will an- ; swerfor its exactitude.’’ “We all know the face well enough, my friend, quoth Provost; it reappears in nearly all your pictares, like Raphael’s Fornarina Last year you made it to do duty in Medea; | this year, modified to suit the occasion, it will appear in the saloon as Charlotte Corday. Why have you so carefully avoided that type in your Juliet and your Heloise? One would ! imagine that, instead of being associated with leasant recollections, it suggested nothing ut strife, violence and despair ”’ ““Were that the case, you know,’’ quoth Armand, with feigned sprightliness, “my the- ory falls to the ground ; and in telling you my story, I am only impertinently taking advan- tage of your good nature to make a confession, and thus ease a troubled mind. Listen to the end It is not far off.”” We reached a grotto on the borders of a little lake where, to my surprise, an elegant breakfast was laid out. There were two seats placed ready ; and Fifine, the maid, was there to serve. ‘e partook of the meal together— talking of everything except ourselves, but thinking of nothing else. Once or twice a re flection on the oddity of this reception flitted across my mind; but I thought [ had fallen in with some eccentric mistress of the castle— | bind legs! such as one reads of in middle-aged romances, who was proud to give hospitality toa wan- dering artist. The lady called me Hector, and I called her Andromache ; and under the influence of some generous wine that came in with the desert, [ went sofar as to declare that my love for her was unbounded, and that she must be my bride. I was thrown into ecs- tacies of delight by the frank reply, that it only depended upon me to fix the day! What follies { committed I scarcely recollect; but know that Fifine scolded me, and said that, for a well educated young man, I was dread- ful forward. ; What a delightful half-hour was that which ey : fhe omanaee Es oon ee ke wreathed with vines. e ripp! broke upon a beach of sand tbat seemed of ad come gold dust; the path by which we b ran at the recipice fur about — - ——— ed a steep bank ; thirty yards, and then clim| THE WEEELY STAR.

As evening drew near, and I dream of the delights of a twilight stroll along the margin of the lake, Fifine pitilessly suggested an adjournment to the ehateau. The word grated harshiy on myear. I had almost pictured to myself the lady asa dryad, ora ——- —_ ever amid trees and grot- toes. But prosy Fifine carried her point; and, in halfan hour we were in the saloon of a most comfortable modern dwelling, furnished with Parisian elegance Severs very com- mon-place looking servants stared at me as I entered. My romantic ideas at once received ashock. Five minutes afterward a post-chaise rolled up to the door and a stont old gentle- man, accompanied by a tall, handsome young man, issued therefrom. Why shonid I give you the ludicrous details of the explanation? Andromache was be- trothed to Monsieur Hector Chose; but she had never seen him. Her father, s wealthy naturalist, had gone that day to meet the bridegroom at a neighboring town. The young lady, who was of a romantic disposition—had descried me in the park, and fancied this was & pre-arranged surprise. She had up the breakfast in the grotto; and had made my acquaintance as I have related. I answered to the name of Hector ; che naturally retort- ed Andromache This was the whole expla- nation of the mistake. I was overwhelmed with shame when the father and the real Heotor, with vociferous laughter, undeseived me; and the young lady herself went away in teare of vexation. For a moment I hoped that I dog poomre an ineffaceable impres- sion; but I was soon undeceived. In my mortification I insulted Hector. A hostile meeting was the result. I received a severe wound, and lay a long time helpless in a neighboring hamlet. Still my love was not cured Even when I heard that the marriage had been celebrated, I persisted in looking upon my Andromache; but when Madame Duelique, her cousin, came to see me, she de- stroyed all my illusions. Andromache, she said, though with much affectation of ro- mance, was a very matter-of-fact personage and remembered our love-passage only as a ridiculous mistake. She had married Hector, not only without repugnance but with delight. He brought her every thing she desired—a handsome person, a fine fortune, an exalted position ; and she was the first to joke om the subject of “that poor counterfeit Hector.” This interview cured me at once I dis- covered that I was strong enough to leave the Paradise I had lost. adame Duclique, an amiable and handsome person, gave mean seat in her carriage, and drve me to the town of Arques I feel grateful to my Andro- mache for having impressed upon my mind an endearing form of beauty. “« Let us drink her health.” —— Puayine tee Hinp Laas ov 4 Cawen !— The Paris correspondent of the Boston Post tells the following funny story : “The man that plays the bind legs of the camel at the Folies Nouvelles Theater, is just now the most talked-of individual in Paris! “ The circus has its elephants which stand on their heads, and gesticu with their trunks, and gambol in various massive ways; and there are wild beast shows without num- ber throughout the city. So the Folies Nou- velles, always up to the mark, caused to be constructed an out and out dromedary, and it is exhibited nightly to crowds of delighted spectators. A spotted body, properly humped, and a well manufactured head, and pro- pelled, as large as life, and three or four times as natural, by two men inside Their legs only appear to the public as furnishing forth the animal’s lower limbs, and nankeen pantaloons essentially assist the illusion. The camel is led in by a little fellow in flowing clothes and a turban, who puts him through is paces ina highly accomplished manner. and whirls him finally off to the inspiriting music of @ polka executed by the orchestra, the four legs keeping time in a correct meas- ure! Just under the camel’s head is a small window! Ont of this window, while the show is going on and the points of the beast are being illustrated, suddenly issues the head of the man whose talents are developed in the ‘My God!’ he says, ‘what a role this is gi 8 me into! The hind legs of a camel! ere, you keeper, you in a cotton hat, give me a pineh of snuff, or I shall smother! *Twouldn’t be so bad if I hada decent man in the fore legs—but he’s a bete, and stupid, and aint got no conversational powers, and smells disagreeably when he’s warm! What a devilish piece tobe sure, and Tsu e it will have a great run—just m: luck” Keop me swinging this infernal tail for a fortnight’ And in goes his head, as suddenly a3 it came out, asthe keeper raps the hind parts of the camel, and the polka commences. This, with the explanations of the keeper, which are ridiculous beyond ex- pression, keep up a perfect roar of laughter, but more consummate nonsense cannot be im- agined.”’ to ——————— FRravup Upon THE Pension Orrica —Itseems that, owing to the extraordinary influx of ap plications at the Pension Office in Washington of late, from parties residing in Columbia county, Ga., and the substantial manner in which all these applications had been packed up, (there never being the lack of a witness to sustain an important point,) the suspicions of the department became aroused, and they accordingly dispatched a special agent to Georgia to inquire into the matter. But a few days were necessary to develop an exten- sive and most shameless system of fraud that had been carried on for some time by parties entrusted with the prosecution of these mili- tary claims. — bimse! ag with rag “ed legal processes, the agen y the ayes and deputy marshal of Augusta, pro- ceeded to Columbia county, and there arrest- ed one Richmond W. Jones and Dr Henry A. Ramsay, the latter individual appearing from | the testimony to have been the originator and chief actor in the villainous plot against the Treasury. These gentlemen were brought to this city early in the present week and ar- ranged before the United States Commissioner, Charles 8.

The examination had nearly closed, and the Commissioner was to have rendered his decision on Thursday morning; but Ram- say fied the night previous, feeling convinced no doubt, that there was less risk ins air of legs than in the verdict of ajury. A epece§ of $500 has been offered for his ap- tension.
