A Tale of the Present Time. rt Lewson was, to all appearance, a prosperous Loadon merchant and citizen, a theroughly shrewd and astonishingly active tnn of business—perfeetly just in his dealings, sononical. almost parsimonions in bis expen- . and of cold, rigid habits and manners— a matter-of-fact man of the world, in short, and Without a particle of what is called sentiment in his composition. A little more than twenty years previously he had arrived, a very young and almost peaniless man, in London, and ac- cepted a situation as warchouseman at a very low salary. in the establishment of Mr. James Kolges, merchant, of Friday street, Cheapside, and a methodical, hard pushing man. Lew- son's eager diligence ly recommended him te his sherp-sizh a eeaphowers and as he proved to be an excellent penman and aceount- ant. Le was svon transferred to the counting- house, and rapidly advanced both as to position and salary. Je was a powerful, gray-eyed, bright-complexiened young fellow when he en- tered ihe e whment, and the five sueceed- ing years searcely changed his personal ap- pearance. His step was as elastic, his spirit as jocund, his glance as merry, his laugh as glec- ful xs before. when 2 change, sudden as it was complete. passed over him; and this, too. at a moment when his fortunes Saas brighter, more pro ng than ever. The managiagelerk and eashier died suddenly; and Lewson, though seurcely five-and-twenty years of age, was im- mediately promoted to the vacant place. at a salary of two hundred and fifty pounds per an- num. I had, a few months before, entered the establishment as junior elerk. and I lodged in the house that he did. in King street—he oceu- pying the front, and I the back attic; and ie ring from the landlady that Mr. Lewson had spoken of leaving, and was, in fact. in search of a suituble house within easy distance of the city, L eoucluded that he was about to chan, his mode of life. My impression was that he had ieft some damsel amidst the sunny glades and leafy woods of his native Somersetshire. who. now that competency had been secured, would speedily appear to share the home he had with energy and thrift provided. I was, it seemed, mistaken. Ou the arrival of the post- letters, one moruing when Mr. Ridges was out, 1 took them, as was customary, to Mr. Lewson, who h»ppened, at that time. to be engaged in a distant partofthe premises. I had not re- turned te my desk more than five minutes, when & warelouseman came running to announce that Mr. Lewson had fallen down in a swoon. I and the other clerks immediately hastened to the spot, and there, sure enough, we found him ou the floor. ghastly pale, trewbling eonvul- sively. and purtially insensible. Ie held, I noticed, an open letter tightly grasped in hi. right hand. He recovered presently. but left the office and returned to his lodgings for that day ‘The next morning he entered the counting- house at his usus! hour. replied impatiently to the emy s made after his health, and was soon eagerly engaged in the details of busines: to which, changed as he was in other respects, he continued as much or more than ever de- voted. Indeed. I sometimes fancied that he was absolutely atraid of permitting his atten- tion to flag or be diverted to other thought Ps unflagging zeal and activity met with jest and natural reward. By the time Mr Lewson had attained the age of thirty. he was admitted a partner in the firm: and ultimately, when abundant wealth and inereasing years indisposed Mr. Ridges for further active exer- tion, that gentleman retired from the business, aud Me. Lewson, only then about forty years old. became sole head of the establishment he had entered, about one-and-twenty years be- fore, as % werehouseman, at a salary of one ea per week teen years that had elapsed nm attack experienced by Mr. 8. one or two circumstances had occured h threw a partial light on the exci f that brief. sharp illness. He was one long after his udinission as a partner— ver the columns of the Times, when a balf-stifled ery eseaped him. The ghastly yaleness and convulsion of his features, which had wuce before seen, recurred and I thought he would have fallen from his seat. By a pow- erful effort of will, he succeeded stering the emotion which shook him, and seizing bis hat, hurried out of the premises, and did not return for several hours. As soon as he was gone, [looked over the part of the paper he had been perusing, and read the following graph. the only one of any possible inter- est on that =ide of the Journai: “Foundered, in the tiulf of St. Lawrence. the emigrant ship Ms iue. Crew and pasagngers ail lost.” one evening. when waiting in Mr. Lew- son's room to deliver an important message. [ chanced to take up a volume of the poetry of ras—a book to which, [am almost ashamed te say, I was till then an entire stranger; it opened of itself, as it were, at a much-thumbed page; and as my glance ran over the invocation, “To Mary in Meaven.” Tat once recognized the verses to which I had heard Mr. Lewson give faltering. despairing expression. I no longer doubted of the uature of the hurt he Lad received. from what quiver the broken shaft which still quivered in his side had flown, and which, to conceal from the world, and. if possible If, he wrapped so closely around him the thick mantle of a cold, repe!- lant workdliness.

I had been reseated about a quarter of an hour, when [ heard Mr Lewson (for we still lodged in the same house, the only differonce being that he ovcupied the first floor, and [ the second.) enter the street door, and presently ascend the stairs with, it immediately struck me, much quicker steps than usual. He did not pause for an instant at bis own apartments, but came on with the same speed to the second floor, T looke: with » Lalflenguid curiosity. whieh, stant the door opened and displayed the person of Mr. Lewson, changed to extreme surprise and alarm.

Mr. Lewson ealled me to his baaide, * Meredith,” he said, “I sought you for the purpose of Tequesting a great service al your nds. My brain was confused, on fire. just now; but I meant to say that I have seen Mary Somers, whom I believed had long since found ® grave beneath the waters of the st. Lawence, and that——.

To others, Meredith, this might appear unreal extray- agance, but not, [ think, to you, who must have had some touches of the ardent enthusiasm with which naiure has so fatally gifted me. [to Be contINUED.] a — fy Miss T., known on the turf at Paris as the fair Amazon of Washington. was se bril- liant at the races on her horse, jet blaek, save a white star on the forehead, that her appear- ance was hailed everywhere with admiration and applause. A more lovely person cannot be imagined; she guides playfully the most re- doubtable courser. Beizebub, the name of Miss T.’s horse. ix so untameable and ferocious that no rider can mount him, no groom guide or stall him. He has already killed an Eng- lishman, named Thomas Dixon, who undertook to groom him in the stabie. Rarey was pow- erless to tamo this terrible animal. Three persons only can approach Belzebub. the first is Miss T. herself. To her Belzebub isus pliant, gentle and affectionate as a King-Charles iel. He follows her, he fawns on_ her, knecls thatshe may mount bim. He neigh: wheu she approaches. He is proud and happy to carry her. He pawns, he caracoles, he eur- vets. he never tries to unseat her. He obeys her word without ever exhibiting the least im- patience. Miss T. reeiproeates ail the atfec- tion which her beautiful horse exhibits, and loves him as a friond. The two other persons ean approach Belzebub, are two.young of sixteen and cighteen years, Jenny and Kitty Wilkinson. But Belzebub only sui- fers them. and shows them no attachment. Jenny and Kitty act as grooms to Belzebub; they feed and curry him, and waik him in the morning. Jenny, the youngest of these sisters, aslight-looking child, whose womanly figure is not yet developed, is dressed as a groom, and follows Miss T. every time Miss T. pays visits on horseback. for no other person can hold Belzebub by the bridle when his mistress dismounts. For the rest, Miss T. is » charm- ing young person; and has no need to ride Belzebub to be admired. She is a handsome girl of the happy age, of fresh. brilliant and healthful looks. Torture Deautitul, without slight; she has dark, luxuriant hair. large, finshing black eyes. beautiful arms, pure com- plexion, clear and fair; herchest well round er hand wutall and deliexte as that of » prin- cess painted by Valesquez, her foot is neat and very firm, her voice clear and sonorous. She breathes all the life and fire of tw: summers. Add to this that her soul is worthy of this outside—a soul noble and devoied—a heart passionate with generous ideas. She has much cleverness and great courage. This young lady. this American. who brings to her husband 8 dower 600,000 francs. will svon marry one of the most intelligent of the Freuch Generals. She will fullow her husband to Italy. She will make what may be faceti- ously termed her nuptial campaign. Feelze- bub will go along. The soldiers admire this fine woman, and the fine horse. «see > The Young Men's Christian Association in Philadelphia have just issued a chart, for the es- pecial benefit of strangers. {It contains an alpha- betical list of all the evangelical churches in the elty, with their locations, the names of the minis- ters, and the hours of worship.
