Recently a good-looking young man was observed intently gasing at the portrait of a young lady, in the shop of a photographer, until he seemed to be lost to every object around, and only conscious that he was looking at the resemblance of the face of a lady whose pictured charms bad been so admirably produced by the photographer. Finally he entered the shop, and tsked for copies of the picture which had impressed his whole being. He could only get one which he immediately pressed to his lips, and placed it nest to his heart. He ordered twelve portraits of tbebeautiful Hebe, and would have given anything for the address of Miss L—the interesting original, but photographers are like father confessors, they toll no secrets, especially to anxious enquirers. The young man, however, pushed his enquries until he discovered Miss L—'s residence. He immediately dipped Us pen in the angle/ , fluid of love, wrote one of the tenderest of epistles, which met with a favorable re* sponse.
