I cried, and mechanicaly turned toward tne nox on tne second tier, which had so excited my curiosity some years oeiore. w nat was my amazement! That night it was empty as before ; and the only empty one in the whole house: I was delighted to have a history to tell, and in a few words related all that I have now told you. I was listened to With attention ; my friends were lost in conjecture the professor tried to recall some ancient recollections the. little notary smiled most maliciously. "Well, gentlemen," I said, "which of you who Know everytning can unrid unriddle - dle unriddle this enigma for us ; who can tell us the story of that mysterious box ?" . They were all silent, even the profes professor, - sor, professor, who passed his hands over his brow as if to refresh his recollection of some anecdote, aud would probably have fin finished - ished finished by inventing one appropriate to the occasion, if the notary had giveu him time. - ti "Who will ten you that story?" he exclaimed, with an air of triumph, "who but I ?

' "Well, then," said the little notary, with an important look, and taking a pinch of snuff, '.'which of you was ac acquainted - quainted acquainted with ", . , , But at that moment the first crash of the overture began and M.

And after a placid pinch of snuff, which gave him time to collect ids thoughts, M.

The professor bowed. i "But, whether dark or fair, there was one thing that nobody disputed, and that was, that the little Judith was a charming creature. And another jioint which ai ai-pcared - pcared ai-pcared undeniable, was, that her aunt, Madame Bonuivct, was iiorteress in the Rue Richelieu, in the. house of an old gentleman, whose confidential manager she had once becu ; some said his cook; but Madame Bonuivct disdained the im impeachment, - peachment, impeachment, and went on, quietly plying her knitting needles, and managing for the different lodgers, while her niece even, already began making conquests. For It was imiMissible to hiss the jMir jMir-ter's - ter's jMir-ter's lodjijo without being struck with the extraordinary lieatity of little Judith, w ho was scarcely twelve years old. J Icr eyes even then were the finest iu Ihe world; her teeth like pearls; her form exquisitely graceful; and whatever dress she wore, she had the most distitujuv air imaginable; aud to crown all, an expres expressive, - sive, expressive, clear and open countenance, with something radiant and coquettish in its very innocence. In short she gave prom promise - ise promise of one of those glorious combinations of grace and Iwauty, enough to turn peo people's - ple's people's heads; and, as a jioet would say,, to change the fate of empires. People paid Madame Bonuivct so many coin pi i incuts every day on the loveliness of her niece, that she determined to make considerable sacrifices for her education. She sent her, therefore, to : a charity school, where little girls were taught o read and write an enormous amount of instruction, the advantages of which were soon felt by Madame Bonuivct her herself; - self; herself; who, in her caiaclty of iiorteress.

had found it rather difficult to make out the different addresses, and to send the letters and parcels to their respective des destinations. - tinations. destinations. Judith took this duty on her herself, - self, herself, to the universal satisfaction of all concerned ; and Madame Bonuivet being now persuaded that with sucti an educa tion, superadded to so much beauty, her niece was soon to make a sensation in the world, she. waited impatiently for an opening. . . - , j it was not long belore an opportunity presented itself. -M. Rosambeatt, the ballette-master, who rented one of the attics, ottered to give little Judith !sotne lessons ; and, in a few days, Madame Bonmvet communicated in confidence- to all the ladies of her acquaintance---that her niece had been accepted as one of the corps de ballet of the opera a piece of news which ol course was spread fat and wide, and flew rapidly from door to door along the whole extent of the Rue Rich elieu. - , , . , , i Then, there was little Judith installed at the opera, taking lessons every morn ing ot M. Rosambeau, and coming on at night totally unnoticed amidst ( the groups of young girls, naids, or pages,1 as the prolessor justly observed a i lew minutes ago. , 1 Judith was innocence itself, though belonging to the stage ; for she had been brought up in a respectable house, where alt the lodgers were discreet Benedicks, Her aunt, who was. as watehful as, s dragon, never left her; accompanied her to the theatre in the morning, brought her home at night, and even remained whole days in the green-room knitting her stocKings, while her niece took le: sons and practiced her steps. You won wonder - der wonder what became all this time of the large house in the Rue Richelieu ; I can't exact ly say ; but people believe that a friend of Madame Bonmvet undertook all herd ti tles then, in the expectation of the little Judith making a catch-; for' you (are aware, gentlemen, that no one: goes on the opera boards unless with , the hopes of making a catch gaming a settlement. or however you choose to express (hat great objectof an actress's ambition. In this way they leave the stage they jare rich they reform; and the good aunt : for all pretty dancers, you may have (re marked, nave invariably aunts ol ithe nignest respectaDiiity marries ner niece, now weaned from the vanities ' of itin spangles and paste diamonds, to a flour ishing stockbroker, or ",- . "A retired notary," added the profes sor. - M. Baraton slirugged his shoulders. "Of course," he said ; t'but at that tune thoughts of such prodigious advancement had never entered into the heads of either Madame Bonmvet or her niece., Ambi Ambition - tion Ambition grows on us by degrees." ' I "But Judith," I said "what ; became of Judith ?". for I saw the curtain about to rise." . I "Judith ! I'm coining to her directly. Madame- Bonnivet, in spite of all her cati- tioiij could not, hinder her niece from talking with her,; companions. In tlie mornings in the green-room, and above all, at !ijrht when they were on the stage a region w here the aunt found it im possible to follow Judith heard some things that astonished her. - One of the nymphs or S3'lphides, her companions, whispered in Her ear "oe, Jndith, look in the orchestra at the right how hard he is looking at me." "Who?" said Judith. . , i "That handsome young man with the cashmere vest, don't you see him?". "What does it all mean?" ' t "I've struck him." : '--in- 'Struck him?' said Judith, astonished "Ha, ha!" said the nymph,, "what !a simpleton you are. Girls, here's a curi curiosity - osity curiosity she never had an admirer !" 1 I "All her aunt's fault," said another of the sylphs. i .. . "Indeed! well! if I had an aunt so ridiculous, I would " j "Hush, hush ; you know nothing about it," replied the other, who seemed a few years older ; 'she perhaps has se serious - rious serious intentions about little Judith, and to keep her from the danger of lovers, is going to give her to a protector.' " t 'She!' rejoined the others, 'she hasn't wit enough to get her one. ; . Such good fortune would be too much to expect. ; I Judith did not lose a syllable, but had not courage to ask anybody for an explanation.- But she understood enough to see that she was looked down upon, and she naturally had an intense desire to avenge herself, to humble her compan companions, - ions, companions, and fire them wnth rage and envy. Accordingly, when Madame Bonnivet informed her "on their return, with a solemn face, that slie would introduce her to a protector a noble and rich pro protector - tector protector her first sensation was one of joy joyful - ful joyful surprise ; and her aunt, who had not expected such a reception for her news, proceeded in raptures. 'Yes, my darling niece, an admirable person in all respects a person who will secure your happiness, and a provision for your aunt; and indeed he can't do less, after all the trouble aud expense yonr education has cost me.' Then the good aunt wiped away a few tears; and Judith, who was moved at the appearance of so much tenderness, only ventured to ask w ho was the protector, and how she had deserved such gene generosity - rosity generosity 'You shall know in good time, replied the aunt, but in the meau time your com companions - panions companions will die with spite.' This was the very thing Judith wanted ; and great indeed was the surprise when the intelligence became known in - the green-room. ... .. . .. 'Is it possible? a creature like. that! a figurante a chorus-girl, and I a first dancer 'tis disgusting.' 'Quite right ! said the others ; she1 is so good ; she deserves her good luck she is so sweet and pretty.' . , And, in short it it had lieen a marriage to a duke, they could not have made more exclamations, or envied Jier advancement more sincerely. , . . - . And there could no longer , be, any doubt upon the subject, when her aunt appeared that evening in a magnificent shawl of Ternaux. But who eould this protector lie ? some rich old curmudgeon some gouty old bachelor, or worn out roue? But to an these questions Judith maintained a prudent reserve one good reason of which probably was, that she did not know a syllable about the matter. In a few days she had quitted the por porter's - ter's porter's lodge to live with - her aunt in a charming suit of rooms . in the Rue de 1 Province a bed-room furnished splen splendidly, - didly, splendidly, and a boudoir so tasteful, so ele elegantly - gantly elegantly fitted up, that her aunt never ventured to approach it she -preferred sitting iu the dining parlor, or indeed in the kitchen; she felt so much more at ease there than elsew here. : -i Hut day after day p.-tssd on, and no nobody - body nobody apieared, which struck Judith as something rather strange; for Judith was -without education, but not : w ithout sense. Her candor ami f"rte proceeded from innocence, not from stupidity; and after thinking over her position for some time, she would have given the world for some one toconsult for someone to de defend - fend defend her against this protector whom she did not know, and whom she feared and bated: It is true, the only Itlea she had formed of him was of an ugly old man ; for her companions had p'ivp.'iretl her for nothing else by their conversations. She accordingly trembled and had almost fainted with agitation, when ou the fifth day, her aunt threw ohu the door ami announced the expected visitor. Judith would have risen to receive him with proper resiioct, hut her limbs shook, and she sank back upon the sola. When at length she raised her eyes, she saw standing liefore her a handsome young man of twenty-two or twenty twenty-three - three twenty-three yeas of age, of a noble and elegant appearance, who looked at her with a kind and benevolent expression, liioue instant she felt sho was safe. A jierson who looked at her w ith so soft a smile would lie her defender from all evil, ami she could have nothing to fear. "Mademoiselle," he said, in a calm and resjiectful tone; but perceiving that Madame Bonuivet was still in the room,

JUDITH, OR THE OPERA BOX. TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH OF EUGENE SCRIBE. PAR M. LI BOSSET. One evening if I remember rightly, it was the end of 1831 there was a great crowd at the Opera, for Taglioni was to dance. The spectators had crowded themselves on the steps of the orchestra, and the extra stools furnished for the friends of the conductor formed a sort of barricade which I found it difficult to surmount, amidst cries of "Hush, hush! silence, silence!" from the enthusiastic amateurs whom I disturbed. For when Taglioni dances, one not only gazes but listens. It seems as if the eye were not sufficient to admire with. I found myself in an awkward posi tion, forced to stand amidst a group of my Iriends whom l met there Dy ap appointment, - pointment, appointment, and who were too much crowded to make room for uie, when a yoking man rose and offered me his seat, winch 1 declined, not wishing to deprive him of the pleasure of the spectacle. "it is no deprivation," he said "1 am going out." 1 accepted his offer with thanks; and my obliging neighbor cast a last look at the stage before taking Ins departure. For an instant he stopped, leaning his back against the box of General Clapar Clapar-ede, - ede, Clapar-ede, and seemed to look for some one in the distance. .Then sinking gradually into a profound revery, he evidently thought no more of retiring. He was right in saying I did not de deprive - prive deprive him of the view ; for turning his back to the stage seeing nothing hear hearing - ing hearing nothing he appeared entirely to forget wliere he was. . I examined him attentively. 1 It was impossible to imag ine a face more handsome or expressive. Dressed simply and elegantly, there was something noble and distinguished m all his movements. He seemed about five- and-twenty. His fine black, eyes were fixed incessautly on a front liox of the second tier with an indefinable expression of melancholy and despair. Involun tarily 1 turned in that oirecuon, and I saw that the box was empty. "He expects somebody who lias not come," 1 said "she has deceived Inm she is ill or her father lias prevented her, and he loves and expects in vain. Poor voung teliow anu l watched as attentively as he.

The ballette was about to end; and while the inferior dancers were perform ing,' conversation, as usual- proceeded almost aloud. -Among other things, we talked of Hobert le Diablq, which was then in rehearsal, and was about to ap pear in a tew days. My triendsmade all sorts of inquiries about tlie music the ballettes the situations and all the other points of interest in relation to the new piece, and begged very earnestly to at tend the last rehearsal. . -A - rehearsal seems so strange and wonderful to those unaccustomed to it." J promised to intro duce them, and we all rose up to go away, tor tne curtain was aoout to tail. j& i found myself near my unknown friend, who still remained" motionless in the same place,: I expressed my regret that I had accepted his otter, anu my gratifi cation if I could do any tiling to oblige mm in return. . ,. , "You can do so quite easily," he-re plied ; "I have just gathered that you are M.Meyerbeer.". , .

"T hat is one reason more lor my re peating the request.", - , "And," I said, "I am delighted that you nave repeaieu n, on inose rerms." He shook my hand, and the hour was fixed for tlie following day. He was exact to ins appointment. We walked for a few minutes about the stage before tlie rehearsal commenced. ,. He spoke gravel j', yet pleasantly and clever ly ; but it was easy to perceive that it needed an ettort to keep up the conver conversation, - sation, conversation, ; and that he was pre-oceupied with other thoughts.

The rehearsal began. I looked for him in the orchestra among the ama teurs. He was not there ; . and though the body of the house was somewhat dark, I thought I saw him in the front box wrhich he had gazed on so constantly the night before. I was anxious to make sure of this and at the end of the rehearsal after the admirable trio of the fifth act, I ascended to the second tier. Meyerbeer, who had something to say to ine, accom panied me.' ' We arrived at the box, of which the door was halt open, and saw the 'unknown with his head resting on his hands. At our approach he turned quickly round and rose up. . His pale face was covered with tears. , Meyerbeer was overjoyed; and Without , saving a word, shook his hand most kindly, as. , if to manic mm. rue unknown, trying to conceal his embarassuient,, muttered some words of compliment in such a vague arid unconnected manner, that he saw he iiad not listened to the perform performance, - ance, performance, and that for two hours he , had been thinking of any thing rather than the music.

AVe all three descended the stairs, and crossing tlie large beautiful court which leads to the Rue Grange Bataliere, the unknown bowed to M.
