Otie morning, whilst the dew lay yet upon the stunted grass, spring ing among the loose paving stones of our little court-yard, I stood at the door, looking out upon the street; and presently 1 saw a figure com ing slowly along—a s'ender, droop ing figure, clad in a shepherd’s garb, which sent the blood now lo my heart, now to my checks, in most unseemly maimer; and by the time I iiad regained my countenance some what, John Gray was opposite die wall. At first lie seemed much staggered at the sight of me; hut having al-j way a most calm temperament, he did not let it discompose him long, i “Thou need’st not bray,” I said. “Full soon would the shepherd boy be seen, little maiden, even if I held my peace,” he answered me. And then we spoke on graver things : “Flow came those men to hear or know of thee at all ?” I asked. At first, he seemed to hesitate— looking at me as though he sought to spare me some ill-tiding; but I had no fear that he would tell me o her than the plain truth. “They said, how, that they had a letter telling them my character and habits beyond dispute,” he answer ed, after a little pause. “Did no letter come to thee from me?” I asked; fori but half knew if it were right to inquire such a were coming towards us, having iu custody one whom I knew quite well—knew to he my dear John Gray ! and, chief amongst his ac- cuseis, was my uncle—not near e- nough to him to let one think he guarded the prisoner, hut near e- nough lo give lawful dignity to his arrest ; ior his authority to punish transgressors was fully known ; and io see him giving such public evi dence of bis displeasure, was enough to excite I ho people who followed some distance behind. Before I had lime lo consider the light course, I had cried— “Oh, John !” And at my words, so full of grief, l saw him turn his head, and for a moment, his eyes rested upon my face—only lor a moment—bui the look was so calm, so utterly without fear, it brought greater strength to me than anything else would have done. Then the crowd passed on, and I did not see the eager faces looking in at me, nor hear the rude jesting of the men; for, with the conviction that I hud brought this vil upon his head, my hands fe.dl from the support of the lattice, and the crowd and the misery were blot ted out for a brief season, until the cool water which was thrown into my face, brought it all back ; and, as I sought my aunt’s face, mv eyes filled with tears—there was so little pity—so little kindness bent upon me: and when, later in the day, Ja-1 arul lhen ll,e y S qvt ‘ over discussi!, “ ab-oad you haibora dissenter here.” “’Tis false!” I heard my uncle sav excitedly. “Aye, but the rumor hath already injured thee no little, false or true!” “What say they, these enemies of mine ?” my uncle asked moodily. “They warn the people that you be blowing ‘hot and cold.’—impris oning a shepherd lad for spreading dissensions, il is true, but secretly affording shelter to his plighted love. So much they say—and I he ir, have the proof of, in a letter writ by her to him ; in the which, mention is made ot thee and all thy house' hold; beside, such words as do es tablish his puritan faith and prac tice.” “The girl is mine own blood niece ; and, 1 do affirm, is much too simple to know aught of this dis sen'.ing talk.” “ : Tis evident she knoweth what loee means, as l have hoard i' said she fainted dead away, at sight ot him, going to prison !” “Il seems that mine affairs are in the mouth of every fool!” my uncle exclaimed in anger. “Aye, aye, m ike sure they keep a watch on thee !” the unknown person said. “What would you counsel?” I heard my uncle ask, as lliough the last speech had intimidated him. “To clean thy nest!” was the an swer, given in a low, ominous tone ; ( From thr up to ■ either John or me, and talked loud and long on politics, the which 1 net came into the room ant me, parting the curtains gently fur she thought l slept—I heard her | c ° ul(1 not comprehend, nor cared m say, “Boor iamb, this day’s work I will he harder yet lor thee.” listen to; for already my heart was ^ ()( l j filled with the shades of corning me I w to come s not lorn to iu but came close up -and motioned i j UJ .[ )e which ! » yei iuy mind was restless making up my will) ‘oreboding 'ears, mind to do ; for, as lar as was he- ! “None reached me, he said qui- c,.tiling in a maiden, I was glad to ktly ; and ag in I saw that mingled 5ce |,j m ! look of pity and sorrow on his face— lie looked less hearty than afore- Die first seemed for me, the last for time when he tended the flock, but seemed as easy of mind in London town, as lie had been upon his na tive hills, lie shook my hand grave ly, as was his nature to do, and mine were the first words spoken. “What do you in London, John?” “1 did not come of trivself, little himself—and I could not wist his rrn ailing.

I \\ hen I had time to recall all that John had said, I sprang up in my j IkuI and cried out, “’Twasmy let ! l» r—my letter, which fell into the hands of enemies to him!” and 1 as I became the more convinced, l _ it seemed that a two edged sword had eHerod into my heart cutting me so grievously for having betray ed him to bis persecutors—and he so good to me alway ! And, as if that were not enough, some change seemed to have come over my aunt— some dire change over my uncle, to wards me. Hardly did I get a breath of frestt air, so closely was X watch ed ; and in unguarded moments I heard such words as these: “un- grattd’ul maid !” “false one, to bring disfavor on us,” &c., &c., which made me dread ; though what J things to speak. I saw, that for a ; Cou |d have done, I knew not. moment, lie was considering my j Often I saw my uncle discoursing words, and a look of pain crossed w ith his friends, as though they were his face; thereat I grew distressed ma j;j n g p[ ans . At times, my aunt for fear he thought me forward— | )t | ( j | );irl j,, (| ie discussions; and which seeing, he smiled to give me j olice> j savv Janet come from the ease of mind, and went on with his i f ore .p ar p ( ,f the house with her eyes story. ! full of tears— tears that overflowed— “1 bore witness to the truth, as 1 when she saw me standing at her have already told thee; and with-j wheel, spinning in her absence, lo out wan ing from any, behold ! two finish the task my aunt had set for of my company rose up, on either ; her to do; and all the time I did not side, accusing me of spreading dis- see the trouble that was brewing, sersions nmonst the people, and ot until one day as F stood by the win- unsettling their minds to the hurt of dow and my aunt stood near me— their s< ids; and before I well knew both of us looking out upon the whore I was, they had me rfti the street—I saw a sight which made road to this place. The flock were me cry aloud. A crowd of men only can bind my tongue Ki ng, nor prince, nor powers tem poral of any kind !’ And so I knew I could only hope for grace to wards him, not for any submission on his part. One day my aunt went out from home leaving Janet arid me at w'ork ; and whilst we sat in silence, ns she had bidden us do, the hall (loot- opened, admiiling two Heavy per sons, if one might reckon from the noise they made. Janet seemed per-1 suaded some ill would befall me, and in a second she had pressed me into a small closet in the wall, sav ing in a frightened whisper, “Stir not till I hid ihee !” Then I knew she dreaded that 1 was under suspicion too, though little cared I. \\ hat was freedom to me, when 1 thought of John Gray confined in prison, by my luckless hand ! and what was sunshine if it fell not upon him too? but lo please Janet F was as still as she bade me be. To my surprise, one of the men proved to be my uncle ; the other I did riot know; and as they came into the room, I heard him bid Janet go else where. She could not take me from the closet then, for fear of his anger, and when, in answer to his question ing, she said my aunt and I were not at home, I knew she was afraid to tell him that 1 was in the house, for fear he asked her, “where ?” So I heard her go, and heard hi.ri most carefully lock the doors; then they seemed—my uncle and his friend — to seal themselves, judging by the jar the house received ; and J, poor simple maid, wondered in my mind if all magistrates must of necessity be weighty persons. A silence fell, for the space of a minute or more, and in the narrow closet, dark and smelling of mould, 1 thought ot bow, mayhap, John was concealed in worse than it; and 1 paid no heed to anything but mine own sorrow, until ilieir tones grew louder, and a strange voice fell up on my ear. “Friend Magistrate, ’tis noised ill. Only one thing more aroused me: just before they left u.e room, 1 heard my uncle say, earnestly— “At least twenty pounds will be my gain, you say ?” “So promi-ed me. I send out Jive, and reckon on receiving one bun Ired and fifty pounds of tobacco a- piece, which, at three shillings the pound, is nigh upon twenty pounds a head.” “Just so,” my uncle answered as though he had made the calculation loo. “But, hark ye ! friend magistrate, ’tis not a thing to noise abroad, be ing as it were a private matter, into which mine own good heart hath let thee into, to rid thee of thy difficul ty.” “’Tis agreed,” my uncle said; and then they went out together as they had come in, little knowing who had listened lo their counsel; and Janet could hardlv bear to wait I their going before she let me out — throwing her arms about me as she did so. “Never betray Janet, dear little Mistress!” she cried, pressing my hands in her’s in her agitation. “I have none to betray thee to,” 1 said sadly even were I so base as to reward thee so ill for striving to shield me from harm.” And my aunt corning back re proved us for undue idleness.

It is not so many months sinen a name fiejoui to bn whispered about in Art and musical circle--, which, although not unknown to the public, had heretofore been associatod with another held of usefulness and honorable achievement. “Demurest” is a household word in two hemispheres; but who is Vienna Dern- orest, the girl composer, the fresh, young singer whose „angs Nilsson has sung, whose voice Nilsson had praised, j and prophesied a great future for? A3 to who this young artist : s, it is sufficient to say. she is die daughter of the welfi know*! publisher and 1 rnd.-r of fa.-diion, Mr. and Mine. Demurest, ai d th- r . her career so fir justifies the prmfic.i - of future success. S:nce the first dawn ing of her intelligence,Vienna Demur est has displayed the rarest musical ca pacity, and a gift of musical improvisa tion, which may be the foreshadowing of greatness. Young as she is, and mod est to a fault. Miss Detnorest is quite ex ceptional in her gifts and possibilities. Her compositions w hich first attracted attention arc brilliant in expression and varied in character. Her polkas, ma- zmrkas, galops are played by noted leaders of bands, viz:, Dodwmth, Baker, Grafullt, Operti, and Downing, w-itu whom, and with the public, they are great favorites. One of her latest songs, “Birdie,” w’litteu for Mdlle Nils son, and accepted by her, is charming, and likely t> achieve permanent popu larity 1 . It is not as a composer alone, F- 7«« ever, that Vienna Beinorest has won distinction; her interpretation of music is as pure and true as her written ex pression of it is rare and conscientious, t'he has a voice of exceeding beauty, fiasibility; and strength; an admirable method, trained under the best teach ers, a clear enunciation, broad, well, marked, plea.-ing, and a sympathetic style, and unuMial beauty and grace of person. Her voice has a register pos sessed by very few, even ot out fir.-t class singers, and her correct and easy execution of the most difficult passages excites the Cuthu.-iasm of aitists aud critics. Undoubtedly dramatic and operatic success are wi»liiu her reach, but we predict her ..ipin* * triumphs in oratorio. For this . ranch of musical art she possesses sps ial qualifications: a voice, in the first, place, capable ot ex pressing religious ideas With feeling and grandeur; an intelligent apprecia- ion, in the second place, o^ the poetic thought, ac t the power < f reproducing the imagery of t-e author. Tiie interpretation of a grand work, much less its execution, iiy T this gifted young girl seems to rank among the marvel-; bat those who have heard and seen her will, we think, justify us in placing her in the front rank of vocal ists. In her recent character of candidate* for art honors, aud as one ot tiie musi cal events of the season, the New York Herald says: “Miss Vienna Demobest’s Debut.— A very select and critical circle ot inr.- riciaus and lilternteus sat in judgment last evening, at Chickering's liaii. imon a new candidate for lyric honors, Miss Vicuna Demurest. Seldom has a debut of a cantatricc been made with such satisfactory’ results. Expectation had been raised to a high extent regarding the voice and artistic culture of this young lady, but tiie universal verdict last night w'as favorabU; and we might say that there was a feeling of aston ishment, as well as of admiration, at the remarkable power, sw etness, range, and purity of tone which her voice ex hibited. It is undeniably true 'hat she has the materials of an artis ; of an exceptionally high order, and that ih re is a bright future in store for her. A year or two in Europe will develop Miss Detnorest into an artist of whom Amer ica may be proud. She has consider able fire and vivacity of manner, and sings with her whole soul. If we add to tis is a very prepossessing appearance, there is every rea»ou to expect in her a prana donna for the operatic stage. Her compositions are of an order of merit which evidences considerable musical education and innate talent.” And also in an editorial article in the Ilcraldot the same date, it repeats: “Butone of the leading events was the concert last night at Chickering’s King Victor Emmanuel has one of the finest entomological collections in Italy, most of the specimens of which he has personally collected.
