ing to those of his fair neighbour ;'to set up a finishing establishment of whom, instead of annoving with idle familiarities, he gradually won upon, by respectable civility towards her- self, and still more by kind inquiries after her good old father.

By degrees he took upon him to watch the time when she might be toiling, heavily laden, up the steep s‘iopery steps; and by coming just ltt'ltitl‘l hcr. would slyly case her of more titan balfher burden. ()n part- ing at the door of one of the great nublic laundry establishments (where the work begun on the river is after- warde completed), be “wild leave’ her with the hopeful s’tlutation, in which more was meant than met the ear of ‘ Good bye, Blanche, till we meet again.’

'Such persevering attention could hardly be repaid with indifference ; and Blanche was of too kindly a nature to remain unmoved by them. But while she candidly acknowledged the impression they had made on her heart, and that it was one which she; would carry to her grave, she with equal honesty declared tlnt she could, allng no attachment to another to; come between her and her devoted-i new to her blind father.

‘And why should it, dear Blanchei",

was the young man‘s rejoinder; ‘surc-i‘

her own, where she could preside o- ver her own business without losing sight ofher father, she would at once marry Victor. But the capital re— quired for its ﬁtting up was at least 5 or 6000 francs, and where was such a sum to be got, or how saved out of her scanty wages? Victor, however, caught eagerly at the promise, and never lost sight of the hope it held out of attaining his darling object. He was able to earn five francs a- day, and laid by samething; and the master whom he had served for ten years, and who expressed a great rc- gard for him, would perhaps advance part of the sum. Then, again, the gOod women of the boat, whose unit- ed ycarly deposits amounted to up- wards of 9000 francs, kindly eXpress- ed their willingness to advance out of their savings the needful for the marriage of the two lovers. But Blanche, while running over with gra- titude forthe generous otl'or, persist- ed in her resolution not to marry till their own joint earnings should ena- ble her to set up a laundry. . That she worked the harder, and saved the harder to bring this about, may easily be believed. But the rum: is not always to the swift ; and the desier event was thrown back by a
