Suddenly she gave-a start,.aipi leaned

called “C illon ! Cnllon !” in a low pas

True Paulina, I am crazed, hut no'

of. this almost overwhelming .passion

You -have dropped your medallion,
my ladv,” arid she stooped to pick it
up, hastily wiping away the tears that
had gathered in her eyes. You will at-
teud this ball; I fear you will regret
t, for listen. I had occasion to-day
to pass the house of the rich Zamet;
Te master of this ball, with the crowd
that was entering hi- magnificent gar-
lens to a mire the shrubbery and rare
flivvers, I entered also. Theic were nu
merous young ladies- and gentlemen
weaving garlands, and gatln ring flow
ers, »rr'a.iiiring them, in all conceivable
fanciful shapes, also men, attired as the
laboring class, busy hanging beautifully
colored lamps in all imaginable places
to light ami decorate the gardens for
this coming festival or rather ‘fete chain
pelre.” Tlie effect will certainly be al
most entrancing I had wandered to
a remote part of the garden, and I saw
standing not far from me Monsieur Za
met, aud Mademoiselle d’Estree in ear
nest conversation. I stepped behind
a large cactus that entirely conceaieti
from them, and these words ol
Mademoiselle d’Estree arrested my at
tention. “The proud Countess de Mon-
ceau shall not be Queen, I will prevent
it by fair or foul means. The king is
already infatuated with my beauty.”
Zamet replied, “Hush Mademoiselle,
your vehemence will betray all,’ soyez
trunquille
Here I lost a part of the conversa
tiou for they carried it on in an under
tone, but I saw the young woman hand
to Zamet a large rosy apple, anti as her
vehemence overcame her prudetice, she
said in a louder tone, which distinctly
reached my ear as did the malicious
laugh accompanying lmr words.* The
Countess with her attendants, will at
some time during the evening, be found-
in your gardens— and then Zamet will
be your time. Yo« will servo the
Countess with your most tempting ‘del
icacies, and ibis apple wiU'fle* among
them. Yo» know it is said sbi t is re
markably fond of this fruit You need
not be alarmed, the' effect wi. 1 n6t’ be
iiistantaneoBS. Now my ikdy thht yr-
eioiis woman is laying plaps'to destroy
the gooff and beautiful Coubtess, and
sfie will succeed unless Her plans are
thwarted. ...
“They shall be thwarted,’’ uttered
L’liiconnue, more to .herselF.than to
her companion, “You need not be un
easy,..you did Well to tell me, Paulina.
L inconnue continued speaking in a
kind of undertone aud Paulina stood
respectfully near her chair. “It is.a
proverb of the Greeks, that‘those whom
the gods wish to destroy they first.make
mad,’ and Paulina I am mad, they have
driven me mad, soses ot enjoyment
bloom in my pathway*—but the thorns
of despair have entered deep, deep in
to. my heart, and are left raukling there
Life has become a burden and I will
hritw it off. Remember, Paulina your
wav of serfesy and if I die in la belle
Paris n* ver disclose my name, nor rank,
in regard to/ yours/ The biimiful | let the tomb, cover that as well as this sigh
frail ,bK>dy r . In tliat little seu'ptured
box you see there are jewels of an im
mense value/ I offered them all to Cril
lon once.’ I would have been ho por
tionless bride, but he rejected; all and
me with them, ‘cotping events do cast
their shadpws;’ you have just said, and
when I am dead—”
“Yes ! yes, my lady,’talk not of dy
ing, you are too beautiful—”
“Interrupt me not, when I am dead,”
and there came a strange light in her
■dark.eyes, “Give the jewels to Crillon,
and tell him that as Hagar wandered
out iiito life’s desert waste, I have fled
from an unloved husband of but one

from which his love might have saved

near, when lie perhaps supposed me in
my retreat, ainid tlie Altheas and flow

get my costume. *
CHAPTER Y.
The mansion @f the rich Monsieur
Zamet was one blaze of light; gay peals
of laughter and the i merry voices of
youth mingling with the sweet strains
of music were heard within. The gar
den was lighted up with the brilliancy
of day, save here* and there an alley
or an arbor left half lighted or nearly
dark for those who wished to indulge
in whisperings too sacred for publicity
Throng? of gaily dressed ladies and
gentlemen were walking here and there
in lively converse. As a beautifully
dressed lady with several attendants,
w ere seen descending tbe steps into the
garden, whispers were heard on all
sides, “Here comes the Countess de
Monceau. How charming she looks.”
The party who had just entered seated
themselves upon a rustic bench prepar

Zamet with a low bow informed the
ilouiitess. A few moments after the
Co i t jss had seated herself, there was
O, tall gr leeful lady dressed in black
moT an; que with “broideri de jois,’
that p used half way the marble steps
wuicii commanded a full view of the
Countess and her party. She was look
ing around eagerly and expectantly. A
voung boy so n appeared bearing a
1 .lgesaiver filled with rosy apples, ar
ranged with taste and the one resting
on top appeared to be more beauti
ful and delicious than the others.

ct to speak to some of his guests, who
at that moment, claimed his attention.
“Here my little boy come this way,”
said the lady in black on the steps, and
in whom my reader will recoguizeL’In
Connue, “I wish an apple, and this one
appears so tempting that I must taste
it.”
“Lady, my orders were to serve the
beautiful Countess first, these are in
tended, pointing to the apples, for her
party alone.”
‘•Nevermind, all will be right, £he
loss of this one has disarranged the
c< n *, somewhat, but pass on it will not
be noticed.”
L'lnconnue observed an extremely
fine looking woman that continued
walking jhe colonade to .and fro and
beard_ber mutter, “Foiled, foiled,” as
be took tbe apple and then was lost
atnid the crowd.
Zauiet looked towards the party of
the Countess anxiously, and was walk r
iug down the steps where L’lnconnue
tood eating the apple as if to go there,
when she accosted him thus :
“Monsieur Zamet, how long will it be
before this apple affects me? None
but tbe 1. e -nest eye would have detei d
tbe poison, you and Alademoise le d’Es
tree inserteu so ingeniously. Nay start
not, your secret is safe, but you will
betray yourself, for your face is rival-
ingin whiteness, the pillar against which
you lean, and how you tremble. Oh !
you era vein !’
“Who are you ?” was all that Zauiet
found, voice to utter.
“An unhappy woman,” was the ro-
ply of L'lnconnue.
“Madame go home, quick ! !
The night wore away, it was almost
day, but the patient Paulina sat
waiting, and listening, holding herself
in readiness to answer the first sum
mons of her lady’s bell. At last the
bell gave forth a loud quick tinkle and
with a smile of welcome aud relief, she
admitted-L’lnconnue.
“Quick Paulina, I am ffjing, I have
eaten the poisoned apple, intended for
the Countess: She loves and is beloved ;
I love, but am lone and unhappy.”
“I will run for assistance,” cried the
almost distracted Paulina.
Too late, too late,, all suffering is
now over Life has no longer a weap-
ou with which to parry tiie. blow of
me mightier king of death. I shall
soon be high above all earthly sorrow.
All paiu has flow lelt me. Listen Pau

not your trust of secrecy. Swear this
and accord me a last joy on earth.”
I’aulina bad no o.tjier • vow than the
kiss, that, her trembling lips pressed up
on the brow of her darling, and the
tears that mingled with the cold omin
ous perspiration which had gathered
there like the morning dews of another
world.
“Tell Crillon, him I loved, for him I
died. Carry him the casket of jewels.
I was near him to night Pauliua, and
the sigh that he heaved in response to
one I could not repress has ameliorated
much of my grief, for it assured me he
sti. : l remembered. I moved out of his
eight fearing be would recognize me.

all was silent in r the chathber of death,

wailings louder, until Crillon who was
passing, caught the sound of distress,
that was wafted upon the almost imper
ceptible breezes of the night and trite

A Timely Prayer.—Before/ the
adjournment of the Alabama Leggier
tore in Montgomery, at its last session,
a pious divine, who was .in the habit pf
praying for the convicts in ihe peniteti*
tiary at Wetumpka, Having the lore bf
truth and fear of God before him,.wee
requested by the Speaker of the 5?u?e
to open the proceedings with prayer,
which he did in’the following man
ner yi
‘O Lord, we pray Thee that thy mer*
cies may be extended to these.poor men
who have been sent here from all parts
of the United States, convicted of vari
ous crimes and misdemeanors: have
mercy upon them, we beseech Tb,ee,
while they are here serving out the
time for which they were sent, and when
they have served and are -dismissed
from these walls, may they return- .to
iheir Northern homes better men, an.4
in time may they become useful and
upright citizens and honorable mem-
tiers of tbe society from whence they
came, we ask in tbe name and through
the mirits of Christ-, our Redeeiner.
Amen.”
As scon as he had closed, old one-
arm Richardson, alias Steel Trap*' so-
i all d from Wilcox, sprang to bis fee*,
and in a stentorian voice exclaimed r
“Mr. President, I move/to strike out
Wilcox county.’ His amandment was
unanimously rejected, amid a seeho

The Shooting Fish.—This very.
remantJiOie nsn is & nauVe or too JaMi
Indies. Nature has constructed this
aquatic sportsman in a very singular
manner,- but one admirably adapted to
his spqrting predilections. The fish
has a hollow, cylindrical beak. He*
frequents tlie rivers of the sea—shore
in seal ch of food, and from the usual
manner in which be provides - for -hia
daily wants he derives bis name. When,
this hungry gentleman espies a fly Of
an insect not taking due care of bim-^
self, but sitting on the plants that grow
in shallow water, he swims away to'the
distance of four or five feet that he may
take aim at his prey; and when be has
done so to his satisfaction, lie then, with
amazing dexierity and cleverness, ejects
out of his tube^Fike mouth one drop
of water, which is so well directed and
so swiftly shot forth that it never fails,
to knock the fly into-the water, and
once there, all hope of escape is gone-
ihe fi-h darts upon his prey and, ^gqr-
ly devours it; thus supplying us' with
another instance of The’'‘diversified

How to be an Editor.—A paper
of the antedeluvian school is responsi
ble for the following funny opinion :
A good editor must combiue the lo
quacity of a magician wit i the impu
dence of the clevi'. He must know
ho w to time a horse-race, gaff a lighting
rooster, teach*a Sunday school, preach-
a charity sermon, run a saw-mill, k§ep-
a hotel and, brew whisky. H§ ntaptjK.
insensible to the cruelest snubSj^anci
manifest'rro sense of anger when kick*—
ed down stairs. He must throW s -rooid- t '
sty to the dogs, and let thefigbTs howrl.
But above all. he must be an adept in
he art of puffing. He must be er*^
thusiaslic on the subject of hams, ver
bose in extolling hardware, and high
ly imaginative in the matter of dry
goods. He must talk learnedly of pro
grammes, with a liberal mixture of
flowing words; such as ‘warmth,’ ifore-
s lortemng,’ ‘high limits,’ ‘prospective,
ec. He must be heavy on a concert,
with a capacity to appreciate Miss
Squeak’s execution of difficulty fearts
in the upper- strata, ecstatic .arid elo

• Electricity Rivals Steam.—A
new invention is descrioed in^thte- lute
papers, which substitutes .electricity for.
steam as a mechanical .power. Tbe,
cost ner day is estimated at thirty-five
cent.* Piaffing machines, and other me
chanical arrangements have been suc
cessfully attached to this wonderful
electrical engine. If- the machine no#-
in constrststiotn.in New York, worksaa
beautiful on a large a scale as its smaller,
predecessors have, a ship will soon pas?
over the ocean with a streak of tame
lightning in the bold. This dangerous
element appears in this grand role in
such a minute form that it can be put
in a smaller trunk than ts-carried by a
fashionab e young lady to a summer
resort. What next?
