Xuke Averill left his place .of.baelnesa at four o'olock In the Alteiiaoon, and'procoeded up town. He turned into Bond street, ■ndstcpped before a private house. It was a small, unpretend. Ing' iweulni, with a little garden In front of it, which appeared ^ lie kept with remarkable noatnesss. I«uke rang the bell, and in a minute or two tho door was opened, and he stepped in. The In. terior bote a remarkable contrast with tho eitencr. It was to- nlshed In the most gorgeous atyle. Every article In the drawing loom was of tho most ezpen41ve kind. Tho walla wore coTored with blue and gold French paper, and ornamented with exqal-. site oU pilntinDa, which dcctaeoly verged on the indelicate, re. vresenmib for the most part female forma Id a state of nudity. A bandaome loaewood piano,' brocatelle chain, a soft Turkey -cupet, andplnk satin curtains made up the ftimlture. The door was opened by a young quadroon girl, excessively jirotty, with dark eyes and'rounded form. "Is your mlelreas In f" asked Iiuke. . "Tes, sir; she Is In tho draiwlng-room." ' ^ «<iIone?'' ^Tes, alr;T will go ondlet her know that yon arc here." "It ia .unnecessary. I will annoimce myself," He entered the drawing-room, and found a magnificent gill reclining in s.large rocking-chair, engaged in reading. She was sotmore than twenty years of age, and bewltchlngly beautUol. Her hair was Intenaely black, atid her eyes dark and pleiolos. 'fine wore a black allk dreas, cut very low in the neck, which oon- tmstedadmlfably with the dazalliia whiteness of her skin. Her Hps were red and slightly pouting, her oheeka aa soft and'downy -OS a newhr plucked peach, and tinted with the hue of parfeot Iioalth.- Her complexion was as pure as a Illy, and her whola f cm oast In a mpst voloptuoqa mould. Her shoulders were as white aa jdabaater and her bust, which , her low-out dreaa more thai; Iialf-revoalod, waa a model of flrmneaa, olaaUclty, and •xquislta -uevolopemont. The attitude she had assumed was one of the most graceful olnndon, and h«r tiny feet resting on an otttv man, caused her dress to be slightly raised, revealing limbs of tthe moat superb proportions.

JULIA DEAN HATNR This artist (of whom the above la a striking likeness) was bom in the village otFIeaaantTallsy, Dntohess County, N. T., July 32, 1830.

Hade her flist appearance in Fhlladelphu, Nov. U, '16, as Julia, In the "Hunchback," at the Arch-street Theatre, b 18H wu married to Dr. Hayne. In Jane, 1856, she was playing In Oallfomla, meeting with tzinmphant success. After an at^ seuceof thirteen months ahe returned to Mew Tork, having made $90,000 dear.' At present thUlady la playing in San Etan- dsco, OaL ' Aa an actress, her merits are oonslderabls; her oon> cepUon of character is julck and comet; her 'deratopment of it always marked by 1ntelugehoe,'disdilifililatlai, and good taate. Bhe always dresaea her part with alngnlar propriety. In private life she u much beloved, on account of an exceedingly amiable character. ring muat be worth five hundred dollars, and if you are auccea^- fDl, I will make yon a praaent of two hundred more; ao you wUi be a gainer of aeven hundred dollars." "Ah I I aee; yon want me to tempt him, to make him give me a ring worth five hondred'dollart." . ' , "Exactly; .with your obams yon can make Um sell hia soul toyou." "But why, Luke, do you want him to give me the ring 7" . "That la my business, Emeatine. You will have possession of a handsome ring and two hundred dollars; that ought to satlsfr you." "But tell me, Luke; is lie handsome 7" "Exceedingly ao." "Very wen, Iconaeut IwlIllnvltahlmtoaapperheret04ilght and aee what I can do with him." After prolonging the conversation a little longer, Luke took bis leave.' That same evening, at eight o'clock, Edward Grafton, Ur. Luke Averill's clerk, entered the Park Theatre. - His employer had that morning made him the wesentof the ticket, atrang ttiat he could net use it himself. He entraed the private box. At last Ernestine de Belegue made her appearance on the stage. In the ellght attire ahe bad on2her voluptuoua body waa seen in aU;US )exgnMte'proportions. Her aplendld bnat and magnificent ^""^^nldhavemovad adttvotee. > Asthebeantifal glil Alidad ^ Mintage, she oatt laiigidshlhehCli^^ amUed in a peomlar manner. Thtee advanoto made his blood boll In his veins. 'When the ballet was over, one of the employees of the theatre entered the box, and handed EdwaM a little pink note delidons- ly aoented. He opened it, and read it aa foUowa :— "Oome and sup with me thla evening, at Mo. — Bond atreet I shall be alone. Ebmisiiiie db Bbuoox." . The excitable young man waa at the seventh heaven of delight at thla invitation, and started immediately for the rendezvous. He waa let in by the pretty quadroon who Immediately ahowed him Into the'dnwlng room. Ernestine de Selegue was volnptu. ously extended on a eofa. She had ohanged her dress since she returned from the theatre, and waa now ravlahlng to behold. Her costume was oriental and of almost transparent texture; the skirt reached soarcoly to her knoea, and allowed to be aeen the ptumpneaa, roundness, and perfection of her lovely llmba. The dreaa could acarcely be aald to cover her bust at all, for two ivory globes, which Apellea might have taken' for a mode} for hia YenxtB, ware almcat entirely expoeed, and the manner In which they rose and fell with her breathing, almoat drove Ed- ward crazy. Her anna, entirely uncovered, hung negligently by the aide of the soti,' and were rounded In the same exquisite proportions as her limbs. Edward threw himself on hia kneos, and pressed a kiss on her lovely white hand. "Eles my lips, mm chkr," slid shs. . Hepreasedaklssof fire en her rosy, humid lips,'and his hand had already fallen on her shoulder, and was gilding towards her bosom, when ehe arrested it, "Walt until after eupper, fiion chcr," said she. Young Orafton waa obliged to bo katlafled with Ussos, but he could not turn his eyes from the two palpitating alabaster globes which seomed to Invite the pressure of his hand. In a few mln> utes theJ>eautlfol quadroon came to Inform them that supper was served. He oneredSmestlne his arm, and they entered the aupper room and sat down to an exquisite repast, where eveir. thing oalcnlated to excite the senses was served. Oration was ui a perfsit delirium, Uolten fire eeamed to be flowing through his veins, and his flushed face and trembling hands showed how much the lovely siren had enthralled him. After supper they returned to the drawing room, and Edward, again took his place bealde'the young girl.on the sofk. Bhe took Ma hands in hers, and loaning voluptuously against him so that he felt hor perfomed breath on his oheek, and her worm bosom pressed against bis cheat, ahe said:— « ' "Edward Oraflou, I love you, and I em willing, under a oer- ,taln condition which I shall name by-and-by, to grant you the follest privileges. Elssnde, mm cAtr.'' He'tolled her frantically in his arma, and prcsaed athouaand hot, burning kisses on her lips, neck, and shoulders. Again his hand wandered, but again she restrained him. "Have patience," sud she, "when you have acceded to the ro- quest I have to mikke you, I will be yOnn." "Ol'name it, lovely being, 'and rest assured it la already granted," said jEdward, almost ont of his aenses. "I will tell'yon by-and-by; in the meantime, Annette shall amuse us with a dance." So saying, she dapped her hands, and the beantUOl quadroon appeared; "Annette," said ahe, "go and dross yonnelf in oriental.oos. tume, and Show this gentleman how well yon can danco." , '. The quadroon oourtesled without saying a woM, and In a few minutes relumed. ^ The moment he saw her, young Oraflou ut. teredaarrof utoniahment, admiration, and dellAht. :Theex> qulsltely formed girl was'ln a stale of (nmplete nuolty, with the exoepUon of an almoat transparent, akirt from her walet Her loveqr boat waa entirely nnoovered, and the thin texture of the Binale article of attire ahe wore, ^owed the whole of hot lovely llmba to be aeen in all their voluptuous folneas and roundness. Bmestlne sealed herself at the puno, and played a waits. Tho quadroon then commenoed a dance, the description of which a sense of decency oomp<as ns to omli It answered the purpose, however, of rendering the unfottonato yoUng man a pliant tool In the4iands of the temptress. Alter the danco waa finished Annette left the apartment, and young Orafton waa again alone with tho siren. She placed her- self on his knees, and rested one ofher feet on tho sofa, and br thls.attltude, ono of her beautlfal llmba waa brought out In full roUof. Edward'a trembling flngera allpped her light gauze dreaa from hor Ivory ahouldeis, and preaaod a thousand kisses on her aaporb boaom, ahe making bnt slight roalatance. But when he became more cnriona, aho agalnatopped him. "Dear Edward," aaldahe, "II^do olalm to virtue, In fiiot,! dbnfeaal amo perfect Aapaala—anO.*'! aoiwllllna to moke you- my lover on condlUon that you make moa preaeni of a diamond ring aa apofla d'anumr. This ring- muat be worth five hundred doUara. Olve me It and I am yours for aa long as you please." Aa ahe apoke these wdMs she sreaaed hun Ught&to her throbbhig breaat, and pteaaed her dewy lips to hia in avolnp. tuona klaa. The polaon wotkedi ho wiaiier'a, body and aouL "Lovely angel, I would aoll my aool to solaassvou. To-moN row night yon shall have the ring." . "And you shall lead suoh a nlaht of pleaanre tliat your wild- eat dreams have never Imagined," ahe replied; And u a reward for his oomtilalsanoet she pressed him to her with amorous fsrr, and he partook of her SeUriam. But she woold not permit him to go beyond » oettala point. It was four o'olock In the morning whan h^left, bewildered. Intoxicated, and crazy with love. It waa ten o'clock before he reached the ofilce that morning. He reaolved at any price to obtain the diamond ring. At noon he waa left alone In the ofilce. Mr. Luke Averill'a check book lay temptingly on the deak. He could imitate hia employer'a algnatura exactly. Wlthont reflect- ing what he waa doing, he filled up a check for five hnndrsd del- lais, and put Luke Averill'e name to 1^ When he went to his din- ner he got It caahed and purchaaed a magnificent diamond ring with tho proceeda. If he had watohedUr. Luke Averill's fooe when he entered the office in the afternoon, he would have seen a peculiar emlle filtacross It' Bnt his senses were In auoh a whirl of excitement that he noticed nothing. ' He again vlalted the thektre that night, and was again greeted with the klUlng glances of the beautlfal danseuse. Bhe read In hia countenance that he had procured the ring. After the ballet was over he ran to flmestlne's residence In Bond atreet, and was itdmltted by the beautiful quadroon. She Informed him that her mlatreaa was waiUng for him in the drawing-room. He ran up stairs and buret Into the apartment. He uttered a ory of wonder and delight. Ernestine layonthesofalna state of na. tore. A thin gauze waa aprSad over her, through which ho could dlsUnotly trace the outlines of her voluptuous form. He her thromtog breast ' . ^ "lamyouis—yours 1" she-exolalmad. ' Orafton, In a state of dellriona Joy, tore away the gauze texture which covered her, and she lay before him like Tenus rising from the sea. Her akin was like satin and of dazzling whiteness, and brought Into fall relief by her ebon babr which ehe had let down and now abeamed on her Ivory ahoulders. Her slender waist, her voluptuous bosom, 'her rosy lips, her «iitni.t«,i cotor, her dorious eyes which shot forth glmcss thst could not be mistaken, all presented to his eager eyas the perftotlon of the mother of love. Etatlroly beyond himself,' Orafton began to think that his hap- piness could not be reaL It was not until she seized hils hand and placed it on one of her heaving breasts that he awoke from his state of trance. "Oome, dear Edward—comis I" shs mtirmured. In another moment he was folded in her snowy arms. * e * • ¥ * • • It was six o'clock in tho morning when he retqned home, OHAFTEB SV. dociob saAinmM's bbbaxtast bod^eudoki Ain> tbb paqb— TSTB-A-TXTB BBTWBEN DOCTOB AltD UBS.

The flisa are having a gidvtlme, they buzz Into one'a tan, and keep up axsontlnual ham to the annoy- ance and dlagoat of nervous people. The aforeaald flljlkppcar to he particularly bnay around Dr. Brandon's breakfaVuble, which waa already aet, although there waa no one there to partake of it—the doctor and hia-wife.and dolughter not having made their appearance. The indulaltlve little iueecta ware evidently determined to make an exploration of all the artloUis on the breahfkat table. A whole legion ot them had taken poaassrion Of the augar-bowl; aome being buayon theoutaldo, while, the white lumps of sugar vrere en. tlrdy hidden from ^ew by myriads of otheia.

A few others, more adventurous, were lalferlng for their temer- ity by being etack fkat in a mass of half liqtild butter, from which they atruggled in vain to extricate themaelves. "Dratths'fllesf' aald Doct<«Bruidon'8 newpago, a promlS' Ing colored boy, who was called Orlando by his mistress, although his real name was Jem.
