Address W. JENNINGS DEMOREST, dec 1 638 Broadway, New York. Going one day to lake the cars for Burlington Lowa, I found them nearly full, but sauntering through one of the pleasantest, I perceived two unoc cupied seats, each being by the side of a fashionably dressed young lady.— One of these looked somewhat pale and languid, but the other was a bril liant, sparkling brunette, so that it did not take me long to decide which I should honor with my distinguished attentions. Making a courtly bow, (I pride myself upon my elegant de portment) I asked in the most insinuat ing manner, for permission to seat myself beside her. “ Certainly, sir,” she replied, with a smile of bewildering sweetness ; so with the usual grimace of deprecating assurance, I prepared to make her ac quaintance immediately. “ Would you prefer the window raised ?” I inquired in my blandest tones, receiving iu return another smile that just about completed the havoc she had already made of my young affections. This, of course, led to an original treatise upon the weath er, past, present and future, and just as the conversation was getting to be more personal and interesting. Jack Marcy opened the door in front of us. That fellow is a regular Marplot; he always says just the thing you do not want him to, and appears at the very time of all others that you would prefer him to be a thousand miles off. I always feel cold chills creeping over me when I see his face, for I know that something most horrible, most diabolical, will imitiediately follow; and my fears were fully verified, t had been troubled for several weeks with an eruption on my face that in jured my beauty and wounded my self-love sadly, and I did not enjoy any allusion to it. Hello, Stacy!” he roared, and he had a voice like all the bulls of Bash- an. “ What’s the matter with your face ? Small-pox, he ?” inquired, in a whisper that could have been heard all over the car. “ I heard you were having it pretty badly in Chicago.

How canid I ever have passed her by fortbat showy brunette, when I always preferred blondes, anyway ? Then a happy thought occurred to me. Will Dallas, a friend of mine, boarded in Aurora, and was well ac quainted thefre, so I would happeu into his office, somrdays, and find out who this young lady was. It is needless to relate that I happened into that office very soon afterward, and enquired if he knew a delicate-looking lady in the town where he lived, who taught music iu Chicago. “ O, it must be Miss Ford you mean; she has faded very much of late, al though still pretty and interesting.* “■ With beautiful teeth and dim ples ?” “ Tho very same.” And when I related tl»e circumstance above describ ed, he was thoroughly convinced that Miss Ford and my little music teacher were one and the same. The follow ing week I bad occasion to travel the road again, and I managed to go the same-day that I went before. I as sumed a careless air as I marched through the cars, but my eyes were wide open to obtain a sight of my fair beauty, and it was not long before discovered her. But alas! seated by her side and chatting merrily, was the handsome brunette. It was too late to retreat, so with a face flaming red, I passed by, hoping that they wonld not recognize me. Catch them not doing it. Their bright eyes danced wickedly.at the first glimpse of ray face, aud I heard a suppressed giggle as I rushed out of the car. Feeling like a culprit, I took refuge in the smoker’s sanctuary, and indulged in a pensive cigar. I remained in obscurity until we had passed Aurora. The next time I saw Dallas, I told him of my unfortunate experience, which seemed to amuse him much more than it did me. That brunette,” he said, “ must be bliss Arnold, she is a merry girl, and an intimate friend of Miss Ford’s.— Quite pretty, but rather a doll face.” “ O, yes,” I rejoined, heartily, evidently an empty-headed girl.” Tlie next morning I met my friend again, and much to my surprise, he stopped me short'with the announce ment ; “ That dark young lady hap pens to he Miss Kirby, and let me tell you that her head is no more empty than yours is, Frederick Stacy.” “O, indeed !” I ejaculated “ Lies Mbs Paid, tte’aiuie 'tttektt?* she enquired in return. “ He supposed so, from my descrip tion of you.” 1 ■; “ I should like to have heard your description, then,” she said. “ Why, Miss Ford is ten years older than I am, much better looking, when she is not all tired out.* t i . . if,, t .tq “Then you aronot Miss Ford; after rd .• i ijlooc"i : litaramn “No, ’indeed; you will have to go to your friend again—”.

The frightend girl ran on to the extreme end of the car, and stood be side the dooi, until the speed at which we were going should be relaxed suffi ciently to enable her to take refuge in the next car. ~ ,i , r “ You great, blundering booby 1 said to Mary. “You everlasting”— but happening then to glance toward the pale young lady, who had before this been completely engrossed by the book she was reading, I saw that she was absolutely convulsed by one of those paroxysms of laughter which is quite impossible ever to restrain or control. But how pretty she' looked 1 her cheeks wore now flushed, and such teeth, aud bewitching dimples 1 I won dered how I could have thought her uninteresting. Her mirth was so con tagious that I began to laugh too, and Marey soon joined with his gruff ha w- haw. I did not dare, however, make any effort toward farther acquaintance, nor indeed did I have time, for she got off the caw at Aurora, and as she pass ed out, gave me such a saucy, fare well glaitctfiMerifaf shoulders, that was quH^rtUJptoott-WaSto her-devoted*** the wind in that quarter?” and con vinced that it is always wisest to keep one’s criticisms to one’s self, I walked It was several weeks before I travel ed the same road again, but then I had much better luck, for I saw Miss Ford sitting all by herself. I touched my hat to the young lady, and receiv ing a very polite bow in return, al though her eyes danced with the same quizzical expression as before, I seated myself immediately behind her. Then I racked my brain for something to say, but my mind was a complete blank. All at once the fruit boy ap peared*, aud I could have hugged him on the spot. Buying a dozen apples, I leaned forward, and in the most enticing tones, begged that she would accept some of them. Nothing short of a petrifaction could haye resisted me at the moment, and certainly not an appreciative soul like hers. So with a charmingsmile, she- graciously ac cepted a few. Then the floods of so cial eloquence broke loose, and we were soon talking gaily. ‘ “ Well you think it very impertin ent in me,* I asked, " if I confess that I have learned all about you ?” « Oh, no; I shall feel highly flattw ed thatyoii'tookthe trouble to find out,” te* replied demurely. “But tell me what you know." “ In the first place, you are teach ing music iu Chicago.” “ Who told you tbi*?"-she, asked, with * Igw laugh. heard?*. —- u TUte jmiir sirsa is Ford.” Here she threW.hsraifbadt ffiBdlM(^ed ia thu^deKmous wiythatbadso enchant- i fr ijBHgagirBj&AW* 3 self—' “ You are very cruel—** “ Not at all; but it is dreadfully im prudent to tell such things to a strang er,” she said, with the demure look that was as captivating even as her laughter, and by the time we reached Aurora I had lost my heart irrevoca bly, and was consequently dying with curiosity to discover the real name of my charmer. ‘ That isn’t Mks Ford,” I exclaim ed, as I burst into his office one morn ing, rushing almost into his arms. “ Hang Miss Ford I Stacy, don’t kuock me down t" Well, then, tell me who it is—you know of course.” I am afraid you will feel badly if I tell you. It will probably dampen your ardor, when you know that the object of your adoratieu is only a poor little sewing girl.” “ It cannot be, Dalibs ; you are still mistaken in the person. She bad all the air and manner of a lady, accustom ed to the very best society.” “ Pshaw! Stacy ; a quick-witted girl can catch that manner so much easier thau we blundering male fellows can.. Then she is petted a great deal by all the young ladies, and treated quite as an equal. She has a good education, and is intelligent.” “ Miss Kirby certainly seemed to» he quite intimate with her.!’ “ Oh, yes. Nelly has nono-ef your silly, aristocratic notions in her head.” I had aristocratic notions, it must be acknowledged, having imbibed them in early infancy, from my mo ther, and my ardor was, os Dallas had intimated, somewhat dampened ; but when I saw the young girl again, look ing so bright, ami sweet, and pretty, I could not resist once more claiming her acquaintance. “ Have you found out my real name now?” she enquired mischievoua- iy- “ Yes, indeed, I have.” “ What is it ?” “ Miss Emma Allen,* I replied confidently. A queer look passed over her lace, half annoyance, half amusment. “ And, of course, you know also that I sew for a living.” “ So Dallas told me.” , * “ I hope you do not think any the less of me for that,” she said, with a deprecating look that moved me strangely. “ But I do not deserve any especial respect for it, you know, Mr. Stacy. their fun at my expense; now I will have mine.” “ What are you going to do?” “ I shall ask Miss Irwin to hem some handkerchiefs for me.” . • “ O, you will not dare to.’.* ) “ Won’t I ?

Miss Irwin, in her.accustomed seat, looking prettier than ever before. It was a face that improved so much upon ac quaintance. She smiled a cordial welcome, and I sat down beside her. “ Miss Allen,” I said, after a while, inwardly trembling at my own impu dence,. “ will you do me a favor?” Certainly * she replied, “ if 1 can do it.” “ I have some handkerchiefs in my- pocket, that I shall always value very highly if your engagements will allow you to hem them for me. Then I shall have something to remember you b y-” The color rushed to her cltceks„ and. she was fibout to make an angry re monstrance ; then recollecting her self in time, she’ said with the utmost gravity, “ I "ill do them, of course, that is,if the terms please you.” “ (X that is of nn consequence,” I replied, hurriedly. “ But I consider it of very great consequence.

Finally she said: “.It ia of no use trying to carry on the joke any further, Mr. Stay.
