At an age when the heart is 6- pen to every repression, and forms with the same fecility, engage ments and connections, which in a man of riper years, would be the fruit of esteem, and observation, St A- ■■’-was travelling from his native province to explore the wonders of the metropolis which lie had as yet beheld with the eyes of hope. In the coach which was to convey him to Paris, he found a young man of pre-posses sing appearance; a conversation: began that terminated in proles- i nations of friendship, warmly re j iterated on both sides. Mutual confidence flowed from their lips, > and all the secrets of their youth were revealed. T t was then that St. A—— learned that his new t friend was sent to Paris to marry a young lady whom he had ne ver seen, hut whom his father Ik family had chosen for his bride with the consent of her relations.; The journey finished without a ny accident, and they arrived in the morning, at Paris, where they took lodgings in a public hotel. Scarcely, bad they taken posses sion of their apartment when the young man was seised with a bil ious cholic, which in less than fwo hours, deprived him of his existence. Affected at the melatv I choly fate of his young acquaint-j ■mce, Whose tender! r&ttenuons had not been able jto save him, thought it his duty to inform the father of the future bride, of the overthrow of his ex pectations ; and taking with him the letters and port folio of his friend, repaired to the house of that gentleman. The servant who opened the door, conscious that his master expected his son in law, announ ced St. At- —, as such without enquiring who he was. The fa ther without giving him tints’ to ex plain him sell, embraced him with great eagerness and presented him to his wife as her son, and to her daughter as her husband. St A——, naturally gay and volatile could not resist the temp tation of deceiving them a little longer,- and played his part ex tremely well. He gave the letters; and being perfectly acquainted’ I with the secrets and affairs of hiss j friend, returned the nost satis-’ ! factory answers to their ques tions. He succeeded especially in captivating the attention of the young lady, who withK sidelong, glances, admired the features and fine shape with which nature had blest her lover. Dinner was an ttomneed, and St. A——*, was pla ced by the timid bride; and the whole iamily yielded their hearts to joy and satisfaction. The young lady spoke little, answered with difficulty, and often b ushed while St. A-——was polite and ardent in his attention towards her; and though the expression or his face was naturally serious,; his conversation was . pleasing &■ cheerful. After dinner, the father enter ed into all the details necessary to settle the marriage, when sud denly, St A. rose and taking his hat, seemed anxious to retire. “ Are you going to leave us?” ex claimed the father. “ Yes,” an swered 3t. A-—“ important business compels me to it,” “ What business can ybti have in a city, where you are a stranger ? Perhaps you want to draw money from a banker? my purse is"en tirely at your service; and if you will absolutely have recourse to a banker,! may send some body who will transact the business for you.” No, no, said St. A--—-, “ yoU are mistaken; it is a busi ness which I alone can transact.” —While they were speaking, St. A ——, continued to walk to wards the door, and they were soon in the hail* “ Now we are a lone, said St. A—--, and all the ladies cannot hear us, I will tell you that this morning an accident happened to me. I was attacked by a bilious cholic and died. I promised to be buried at 6 o’clock, and you will easily conceive that I must attend the place of my rendezvous; for not being known in this part of the world, if I fail ed to be exact to my word, it would wake suspicion of inatten tion to business that would prove prejudicial to my character. The father listened to him with astonishment; but taking the j whole for a joke, returned to the | ladies bursting with laughter and irelated the cause of his son-in j laws hurried departure,—While [ they were still conversing upon the subject, the clock struck six It was soon seven, and the family was alarmed at not seeing S. A. Half an hour after, the father sent to tne hotel to inquire. The ser vant entrusted with his commis sion, asked for him under his.re al name * aftd received for answer, “that he had arrived there at nine in the morning, died at ele ven, and-was hurried at six.” It would be difficult to express the surprize of the whole family at receiving this information; and as St. A . left his lodgings, and never* visited them again, a gene ral belief was spread around that it was a Gh6st that had spent the day with Mr. N. in social enjoy ment and conversation. - ‘ French paper.
