up for the assignation; new
primrose gloves, and a shilling to the hair-dresser--hang her! But, did
you ever know any thing like the prejudices that must prevail against
you? I am disgusted with human nature. Could you lend me half a
sovereign till Saturday?"

I smiled; I sacrificed the half sovereign, and let him go, for he is not
exactly the person to whom it was advisable to intrust all the secrets
relating to the Honorable Miss Snape. Since that day I look each morning
in the police reports, with considerable interest; but, up to the
present hour, the Honorable Miss Snape has lived and thrived in the best
Society.

FRANCIS PULSZKY.

Francis Pulszky, de Lubocz and Cselfalva, was born in 1814, at Eperies,
in the county of Saros. He is of an ancient and distinguished Protestant
family. His father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, all held the

thus qualify himself to render more effectual service to his own. On his

genius, and for the nobleness of his character, together with some other
