Wpre you asking me fit adhesive plas ter ? asked Clara Stuni.ope. glancing carelessly at a young girl, who was making loud lamentations over an al most imperceptible cut in one of her pretty white lingers. “ \ es ; have you any in your work box, Miss Stanhope? “No, my work-box is not a medicine chest ; but here is Lieutenant Grey ; he would do very well. He possesses all the qualities of the best adhesive plaster; it is almost impossible to get rid of him.” And the spoiled beauty ended her rude speech with a clear and ringing laugh. Miss W ilson looked amazed, and the poor lieutenant •»{ marines, alter trying in vain to join in Miss Stan hope’s merriment, walked away. “ 1 hat is the seventh gentleman vou have offended mortally within the last lour weeks,” said Mrs. Lee. “ But Mr. Grey is so dreadfully tiresome, Mrs. Lee, he wore out my patience long ago. Since 1 came he iias dune nothing hut keep up a perpe tual smiling and bowing at everything I said. Wherever I turned. 1 saw him, and no mailer to whom I spoke, he answered. 1 could not endure it a moment longer ; and, besides, 1 confess, it is a great pleasure to me to say a culting thing to conceited people.” “You should remember, though, what Sheridan saj s : • Let your wit be as keen as your sword, but as polished too.’ That latter epithet would hardly apply to all your severe remarks.” “Oh, Mrs. Lee! who expects polish in a Western girl? That would be ‘gilding retined gold.’” And Clara Stanhope laughed proudly. “ People ol a family like ours,” said Mrs. Stanhope, coming to her daugh ter’s assistance, “are shove the con ventionalities that ordinary prisons hedge themselves about with. We are related to many of the noble families of England ; among others, to ihe Duke of Rutland ; my mother was a Manners, and on iny husband’s side, the Duke of Northumberland is a relative of ours; and I have lately d.scovcred that Robert Bruce was an ancestor of mine in a direct line. Our progenitors were people of consequence when they first came to this country ; and there never has been a time when they did not rar.k with the first families.” “ Then 1 suppose we must pav you infinite respect,” said Mrs. Lee, “as: America, who have not only oncf i.1.” j two grandfathers. 4 Honor to whom honor is due.’ But, still, l think if Miss Stanhope would only consider the feelings of these gentlemen —” “Gentlemen!” interrupted Mrs. Sanhope, with her usual impetuosity. I “ Do you call these persons about here gentlemen? Accoiding to rnv under standing of that much perverted word, there is but one gentleman in the house.” “ And who may he he ?” asked Mrs. Lee, who, being a widow, did not feel herself called upon »o resent this sweep ing denunciation. “ l do not know’ his name, but he is that tall, elegant looking man who sits just opposite me at table.” “What, the one who comes in and goes out without addressing a word to any one—who is so exquisitely parti cular in his dress, and in w hatever he deigns to eat or drink—makes a great j parade about his wine and all the lutle j etceteras, and gives the waiters more j trouble than any other ten persons?” j “ I have not observed all that,” said > Clara ; “ but I must say, he is my beau ideal of a high-bred gentleman.” “And I must say, my dear, that I think you will find out before long that you have made a great mistake.” “Do you know anything about him ?” “Only that he gave his name as Ma nners, when he took a room here.” “Manners!” exclaimed Mrs. Stan hope ; “perhaps he is a relation of the Duke of Rutland. I v/il! ask him to day.” “ But, mamma, you do not know him,” said Clara. “I will introduce myself to him,” said Mrs. Stanhope. “People of a family like ours can take such liberties without being misinterpreted.” This conversation took place in the drawing-room of one of the largest and most fashionable hoarding houses ol New York, where people prided them selves on their exclusiveness, and fan cied that they added greatly to their own importance by refusing to recog nize those who sat each day beside them, if they did not chance to be members of their own circle. Mrs. Stanhope was a lady of some w’ealtli, from one of the western cities, who had come with her daughter to New York, that she might see a little more of the world than she could at home. Clara Stanhope was a remarkably fine-looking girl, with a spirited, dash ing, and even daring look and manner; always cool and unembarrassed, even when she was saving the most nston lshing things ; and with a laugh whose clear and silvery melody, somewhat loud though it was, often beguiled those who were suffering from her merciless sarcasm into joining her merriment. Mrs. Stanhope, panoplied by her reliance on her “ family,” graciously condescended to take the initiative in making the acquaintance of her vis-a vis at table. “ Might she ask, ** she said, with a bow as stately as that of any Castillian dame, “ if lie were of the same family as the Duke ot Rutland ?” With an equally stately b.vw, and a calm indifference of manner that show- |od him to lie a true-born aristocrat. Mr. Ma nners replied in the affirma tive. “Then I must claim vou as a rela tive.” Mrs. Stanhope continued, with an air as though she were conferring an immense favor; “for we are also of that illustrious house.” Mr. Manneis merely bowed ; the favor was received, as unrequested gifts often are, as though the accept ance was somewhat of an infliction. But tins indifference only heightened the admiration ot Mrs. Stanhope and her daughter. If he had courted them, they might have treated him with their usual haughtiness; hut keeping them as he did in the position he first as sumed, as applicants for his notice, they showed him, underneath their accustomed arrogance, a constant de ference and attention. “I am happy to have found relatives in this part of the world, where I thought I had none,” said the gentle man, as fie arose from the table, with a languid air, as though he felt it incum bent on him to say something, but. thought it quite a bore. “ Wliata coxcomb !” said one gen tleman to another. “ This part of the world—he must he an Englishman—an English gentle man of course ; perhaps a nobleman, who has dropped his title while travell ing in this democratic country,” said Mrs. Stanhope to her daughter. As days passed by, Mr. Manners re laxed somewhat from his cold abstrac tion of manner, and condescended to converse. It was evident that G’lara Stanhope felt more pleased by his at tentions. few and slight as tLey were, than she cared to confess. 'File casual remarks he dropped influenced her strangely. Her laugh, that had once been the music of the house, tinging through the drawing-room, the halls, and dining-room with its outburst ol exuberant pride and joyousness, grew stiil end hushed, replaced by a tranquil smile. The change began on the verv day that Mr. Manners had made the remark, that “no woman with a loud laugh could ever claim to he considered a lady.” The gentleman evidently was not aware that his words contained any peisona! allusion. Several other sav ings of his had great tfleci on the un restrained manners of Clara Stanhope. She was fast becoming subdued and quiet, and even gentle. But this trans formation could not take place without being commented on, and the cause ol it closely scrutinized. Thanks to her severe speeches, she had not a friend in the house, but many watchful and criti “l beYVeve ffial IVliss Nt mlmpp is ir> ! love with that Mr. Manners” said Mr. Grey. “Do you know who he is?” asked one gentleman. All answere in the negative,and t!#n commenced a general discussion and conjecturing. It was late in the even ing ; the ladies had all retired ; the gentlemen still lingered, wasting more than an hour in fruitless surmising?.— The only fact that was clearly estab lished was that there was some mys tery connected with Mr. Manners. When ladies gossip, there is a vague uncertaincy in their utterances. There] are innuendoes, .hints, wise looks, compressings of the lips, and shakings of the head; but all these amount to but little ; the world needs something definite to rest on, arYd so it shuts its eyes resolutely against the cloud of smoke, and if the fire is well hidden takes no heed of it. But when the sterner portion of the race put their wise heads together, and they are not so slow to do it as they would like us to believe, something crimes of it. From that evening’s dis cussion there sprang up, in the minds of two or three ol the gentlemen, all ol them the victim* of Miss Stanhope’s beauty and her raillery, a determina tion to penetrate the veil with which Mr. Manners had enveloped himself. An old lady from the country, who lived in the house, tiarl expressed a wish to know “ what that gentleman did for a living ; for her part, she never felt easy about foikstil! she knew vvliat their business was,” The lofty scorn with which Mrs. Stanhope repelled the idea of its being necessary tor a gentle man to do anything for a living quite subdued the old lady. “I only meant,” said she, “that I have always noticed that those that did not follow any business, but lived, no body knows how, were disrespectable, generally speaking. ” “ Mr. Manners is nn English gentle man, ” said Mrs. Stanhope. “ Oh !” said the old lady ; and Mrs. Stanhope looked upon tin* matter as settled, though it would have been hard for her to tell how she had made it out. The point which the gentlemen were bent on discovering was the same as that about which the old lady had ex pressed such curiosity. One of the in vestigators was a lawyer, a keen, shrewd man, one whom nature and practice had both combined to make a “ detective ”of the first order. In two or three days, Mr. Hilliard, for that was his name, said to Mr. Grey : “ I have discovered one thing. Mr. Ma nners has some regular occupation. His very air betrays that as you meet him in the street; and no gentleman of leisure would come in and go out as regular as lie does.” “ While I was reading the paper, this morning, I was struck by a remarkable coincidence,” said Mr. Hilliard, about a week afterwords, to the same gentle man. Mr. Grey opened his eyes wide ; for, though he had hy no means Mr. Hill iard’s capability of seeing through a NO. 8. ! millstone, even when it hail no hole in it, he appreciated all the more highly • his friend's powers. “ I observed, ” continued Mr. Hill - i iard. “that Mr. Manners’* engagements —you know lie is engaied three or 'our evenings in the week to the sash ionahle parties ot the season, Mrs. Stanhope thinks ; —well, his engage ments all occur on the nights when | the Ethiopian Band give their concerts: ! tind r.lso ’ —Mr. Grey was opening his I eyes wider every minute—“ ami also, ! : 't the time when Mr. Manners went ; on a little trip to Philadelphia, to see ; the city, he said, the band must have gone and returned in the same train." Here Mr. Grey shut his eves—a re | action consequent upon their having been so long strained to their utmost limits of expansion. •• Grey, suppose we go to hear (lie Ethiopian Band to-night? They said to he very line singers in their way,” suggested Mr. Hilliard. Mr. Grey consented, and they were soon seated in a corner of the concert room, where they could see without being themselves seen. When the troop, seven men, with their faces blackened and dressed ala Afrtca- A-mcrica, appeared, they scrutinized them closely. Three of them were in height and figure very much like Mr Manners, hut so well disguised were they that it was impossible for even Mr. Hilliard to decide which one of the three, or whether any one bore anv tesemblarce to the gentleman in whom they were so much interested. Mr. Grey, after having fixed upon each member of the troop in succession as the individual in question, at last gave up in despair. The first part of the concert was over. Amid outbursts of applause, the singers turned to leave the stage for a lew minutes. “ Look, Grey, look at the man with t' e tambourine. There he is the gentleman himself!” Few people think of disguising their hacks ; perhaps it would not lie so easy to do it ; ands« Mr. Manners was dis covered. 'Die secret he had so care fully kept was his no longer. No one who has not tried it can tell how hard it is to keep a secret in this age of the world. If Mr. Manners was especially satis lied with anything that belonged to himself, it was with his walk and bear ing; erect, stiff, and somewhat pomp ous. That betrayed him. “There goes the only gentleman Miss Stanhope has s'‘en in the whole city of New York, which she calls an immense city of plebeians.” And Mr. fnSfty "' :,u - f “ She must see him in his glory,” said Mr. Ililliard. But Mrs. and Miss Stanhope reject ed with scorn the idea ot mingling with the crowd of undistinguished common era, to listen to such low and base-born melodies. “ I would not go nor allow mv daughter to attend such a place. Not a fit place for ladies, Mr. Manners says,” said Mrs. Stanhope. Fortune favored Mr. Hilliard's pur poses. The very evening alter making this assertion, Mrs. Montgomery Fan shaw, the star and cynosure of the fashionable world, stopped in her car riage on Iter way to hear the Ethiopian Band. She had been persuaded, she said, into making up a party for that purpose, and wished to know if Mrs. and Miss Stanhope would join them. It was a kind of amusement particu larly agreeable to the young lady, who enjoyed a regular frolic far more than any staid and proper recreation. She openly expressed a desire to accompa ny Mrs. Fanshaw*; her mother hesita ted, glanced round the room ; then re membered that Mr. Manners had left a little while before, pleading an engage ment lor the evening; Mrs. Fat sltaw was almost a stranger to her ; she was very anxious to turn their slight ac quaintance into N an intimacy—and therefore she ended by consenting. Os course, Mrs. Fanshaw, with her party, occupied the most conrpicuous places in the concert'room. After the fiist haU'hour had nearly passed, during a short pause in the singing. Miss Stan hope heard herself addressed. Turning her head, she found that Mr. Hilliard and Mr. Grey were sitting behind tier. A few remarks passed—criticisms on the singers, the audience, and the crowd ; and Mr. Ililliard said “I wish Miss Stanhope, you would observe the man witli the tambourine. Notice him as he goes off the stage. He reminds me very much of Mr. Man ners.” “ Compare Mr. Manners to an Ethi opian serenader !” said Miss Stanhope, with her scornful smile. However, her attention, once turned in that way, found so much to interest and perplex, that she could notice noth ing else. When he turned from the audience, the conviction flashed upon her that the tambourine player was Mr. Manners, and no one else. Onegl .nee at Mr. Ililliard revealed to him that the discovery was made. He saw a long whispering conversation between the mother and daughter. Mrs. Stan hope evidently lefused to believe the story. “All your imagination, my dear,” she said at last. But, before the evenirg was over, she too was forced to perceive the truth of her daughter’s discovery. She could hardly command herself sufficiently to sit through the remainder of the con cert.
