them. and exerted her powers of fascination
over sortie iullut-utial toeutbcr of Congress.
One ntorning I called upon her at Mrs.
Both\vcll’s. As I ascended the stairs in ad-
vance of the servant, I accidentally glanced
at a mirror through the open door of an
£‘lp.‘.tl‘IlIlL‘!)[. A reflection of two figures ill‘
tested my uttt-ntion. One was the lady I
ii;-id come to visit, the other was a young
mun, tvitlifeuttires wan but highly inttlcctu-
ul, and SUlD€\\'ll.tI illI(‘l’IU(IIt‘(.l lramc. The
l.tdy‘s harm’ \VatS run through the thick hair
that clustered about his pale forelivud and
she was g. zing in his lace uith an express-
ion of (l~"c‘p and teudersolicitude. A sound
very much like it ki~s succeed.-d this too-
mentary uttitudt-. Reluctant to disturb such
an intvrvitzw, Ill)fl.l(‘(I to retreat, but acci-
tlcmzilly came in contact with the ser-
vant, who, tumbling half way down the
stairs. eflectuully interrupted the ttlII‘cIl0nuIt:'
scene in the parlor. VVithout rnoreudo, af-
ter a preliminary shuf‘ii:ng_,of my fctt to_ap-
prize the parties that some one was coming.
I entered the rcotn.
An opposite door clostd as 4l\lissSmitli ad-
vnnccd to rt-t:"ei‘ve me; and I heard a dry
ominous cough procerd front the departing
visitor. It seemed to full litsavily upon the.
render less picturesque, but in which every
change devclopes new beauties. _
‘ It ‘took ti minute or two to rally my
thoughts and recollections, and convince my-
self that I had neither walked into the wrong
room or the wrong cetttury. The lady spoke
first; her voice touched me like an ./Eoliau
harp, it was so musically said. Some young‘
fops of my acquaintance twitcbcd me b.y the
that tbev wished to be introduced. Miss
Smith penetrated their designs, and said to
‘me, in a delightful and confidential tone-—
‘Dont introduce me to any but members of
Congress.’ The remark puzzled tne exces-
sively, but-I“ bowed my acquiescence.
We squeezed through the quudrille with
tolerable success, and as the gentleman mana-
ger" who had consigned the fair incognito to
my charge did not make -his appearance I.
felicitaed myself with the idea that she
would accompany me to the supper room.
when slightly pressing my arm with her
hand. she directed my attention to it -young
gentleman who had been gazing at her with
uudisguised symptoms ofudmtration, and as-
ked if he were not. Mr. K the member
from New York. "
I replied in the affirmative. .
‘He is quite a favorite’ with the old Ro-
man—-is he not?’ asked the lady.
'Undoub'edly. and in the lower House he
is fast acquiring influence.’ ' I I
Is he married?’ ~ ‘
‘Y-e-e-s.’ I replied confounded at the quiet
business like manner in which the question
was put.‘ . .
"Then introduce him,’ said Miss Smith.
‘Certainly. But why are you less merci-
ful than-tbnt gaunt Indian chief. who gave
such It connoisseurylike glance at your flow-_
elbow, and by significant winks indicated"
lt1tly’s heart, for she stripped short, pressed
.her hands to be-,r,eyes. and heaved a "sigh.
lQ.t.IlClily rallying. however, she summoned
it sweet smile to her lips, and received me
with kiodnvss. We couve-rsed a few min-
utes on Clil’Ii:l‘t’l]t subjects, and I took an ear-
ly "leave. '
As I drove home to Gadsby’s. my mind
was more lost than ever in conjecture as to
‘this exceedingly beautiful but mysterious
young lady. Who could the gt-ntleman be
on -whom‘ ;-he lavished such tokens of end..-ar-
merit? \Vas he a lover or a husband? If ci-
titer why did he not accompany her into
society? Or. if his health did not permit
such indulgence. how could she quit him to
become the cynosurc ofa ball room? Pvt-
haps hc was a brother. No; a sister could
never have bestowed such it look and such
an embrace. What could it all mean?
A week after this intervictv,~ I called at
the White House, with a friend from Eng-
land, who was desirous of an introduction to
the retnarlmble man who then occupied the
Presidential chair. VVP. were received by
Jetoxny Grunt. the Irish door keep--r, who
with an absence of ceremony which astonish-
ed my transatlantic companion, took us up
stairs, and pointingto the Cabinet Chamber,
said: ‘You will find the ould man in that
room.’ Aware of Jemmy’s despotic charac-
ter. I entered without fartberqut-stion. --The
first object that I saw was Miss Smith lifting
the President’s hand to her lips, while" an
expression of earnest gratitude irradiated her
face.’ She held :1 document with a seal,
which looked likesome official commission.
