Preventing an Elopement.
A writer in the Democratic Quar
terly Review, in sketching life at
Baden-Baden, records the following
incident;
A noble Hungarian lord, Count
Christian W , had come to pass
the season at Baden, accompanied
by his daughter Helen. Young,
beautiful, charming, and heiress to
an immense fortune left her by her
mother, the young Contess soon
found herself surrounded by a host
of admirers. Adorers of all kinds
were not wanting:—rich and poor,
noble and obscure, tender and pas
sionate, grave and gay. It was a
perpetual tournament, of which she
was the queen, and where the as
pirants contended for her hand by
exhibiting their address, grace and
seductive qualities. When she en
tered her carriage, ten cavaliers
were in the saddle caracoling around
her caledhe. At the ball the most
elegant dancers were devoted to
her. They had neither cares, at
tentions nor sighs, but for iier;
whereat many beautiful women—
French, English and Russian—were
particularly mortified. Amongst
these pressing suitors Helen selected
the most worthless. The Chevalier
Gaetan M was, it is true, a
charming fellow, pale and delicate,
with fine blue eyes, and long black
wavy hair. In the place of true
passion, he had eloquence of look
and word; in short, he dressed
with taste, danaed marvelously, and
sang like Rubini. But, unhappily,
these advantages were contrasted
by great vices. A dissipated gam
bler, and unprincipled, the Cheva
lier Gaetan had quitted Naples in
consequence of some scandalous ad
venture in which he had been im
plicated. The Count, after having
informed himself of these facts, de
sired, but too late, to put his daugh
ter on her guard against a danger
ous affection. Helen listened neith
er to the advice, the prayers, nor
the orders of her father. The man
for whom he endeavored to destroy
her esteem, was already master of
her heart, and she obstinately refus
ed to believe in the disgraceful an
tecedents of the young Italian. If
Gaetan had had to do with a father
who lacked energy, perhaps he
would have become the happy hus
band of the young Countess, and
the peaceful possessor of the im
mense fortune with which he was
so frantically in love. But the
Count knew how to carry his point
either by management or force. He
was an old lion. He had preserv
ed all the vigor of youth, and all
the rude, firmness of an indomitable
character, which nothing but pa
ternal tenderness had ever softened.
Self-willed in his resolutions, stern
in his execution of them, he cast
about for means to putWs due ombat
this carpet knight, who had dared
to undertake to become his son-in-
law in spite of him, when accident
threw into his hands a letter which
Gaetan had written to Helen. The
Chevalier, impatient to attain the
goal of his desires, proposed, in di
rect terms, to the young Countess,
an elopement, and proposed a clan
destine meeting, at the hour when
the Count was in the habit of going
out to play whist with some gen
tlemen of his acquaintance at the
Conversation House.
A rose placed- in Helen’s belt
was to be the signal of cousent.
The young girl had not read the
adroitly intercepted note. “Put
this flower in-your belt,” said the
count to her, offering a rose, “and
come with me.” .
Helen smilingly obeyed, and took
her father’s arm. In the course of
their walk they met Gaetan, who,
seeing the rose, was overjoyed.
Then the Count conducted his
daughter to the residence of one of
their acquaintances, and requested
her to wait until he came for her.
That done, he returned to the little
house in which he lived, at the
j outskirts of Baden, on the Licht-
enthal road. He had sent away
his servants, and was alone. At
the appointed hour Gaetan arrived
at the rendezvous, leaped lightly
oA*r the wall of the garden. ancL
Hiiarng tnutmui snaiij umcrGCL YTlC
house through one of the low win
dows. Then mounting the stairs,
filled with pleasing emotioiis, „he di
rected his steps towards the apart
ment of Helen. There, instead of
the daughter, be found the father,
armed with" a brace of pistols. The
Count closed the door, and said to
the wretched Gaetan, trembling
with terror 5
“I could kill you ; I have the
right to do so. You have entered
my bouse at night. You have bro
ken inter it. I could treat you as a
felon ; nothing could be more natu-
rah”
“But, sir,” replied Gaetan, al
most inaudiblv, “I am not a rob
ber.”
“And what are you, then? You
have come to steal my daughter—
to steal an heiress—to steal a for
tune. Here is your letter, which
unveiled to me your criminal in
tentions. I shall show you no mer
cy I But to take your life, I had
no need of this trap. You know the
skill of my right arm; a duel would
have long ago rid me of you. To
avoid scandal I did not wish a duel,
and now I will slay yon only at the
last extremity, if you refuse to obey
me.”
“What is your will sir?”
“You must leave Baden; not in
a few days ; not to-morrow, but this
very instant. You must put two
hundred leagues between it and y ou,
and never again come into the pres
ence of my daughter or myself. As
the price of your obedience, and to
pay your traveling expenses, I will
give you twenty thousand francs.' 1
The Chevalier wished to speak.
“Not a word !” cried the Count,
in a voice of thunder. “You know
me, understand ! I hold your life
at my mercy, and a moment’s hes
itation will be punished with
death.”'
“I obey,” stammered the Cheva
lier.
“In good timq’ Your twenty
thousand francs are in that secreta
ry : take them !”
“Permit me to decline your of
fer.”
An imperious gesture over the
false modesty which the Chevalier
expressed, feebly, and'like a man
who declines for form’s sake.
“But,” said he, “the secretary is
lockeds”
“Open it.”
“There is no key in it.”
“Break the lock them”
“What! you wish, me to——?’
“Break the lock, or I’ll shoot
y°«-” . . . ,
The pistol was again presented,
as an argument which admitted no
reply. Gaetan obeyed.
“It is well!” said the Count.—
“Take that package of bank notes;
they are yours. Have you a pock
et-book?”
“Yes.”
“What does it contain ?”
“Some papers—letters addressed
to me.”
“Let yohr pocket-book fall in
front of the secretary you have bro
ken open.”
“What!”
“I must have proof which will
convict you.”
“But ”
“But, sir, I mean to have all the
evidences of a burglary. I mean
that the robber shall be known.
Robber, or death!- _ Choose ! Ah!
your choice is made. I was sure
you would be - reasonable. Now
you are about to fly. Yon will go
before me I do not quit you un
til you are a league from Baden.
For the rest, make yourself easy. I
will return late, and will enter no
complaint until to-morrow. You
may easily escape pursuit, and if
my protection becomes necessary^
reckon on me. Begone!”
After this adventure, which made
a great noise, Helen could no lon
ger doubt. Gaetan was banished
from her heart, and she married
one of her cousins, Captain in a reg
iment of cavalry in the service of
the Emperor of Austria.
The Drnnkard in Tears.
Last week, while absent from
home, we were detained for an hour
or two, by the rain, at a hotel in
one of t he villages of onr State.—
While sitting by the fire in the bar
room, our attention was attracted
to an individual who came in, and
walking up to the bar, asked for
something to drink.
“Have you any money ?” he wa3
asked.
“No” D** TvmliprT ——
.“Then you can nave nothing
here.”
The poor fellow turned from the
bar and walked to the door. There
was something about him that won
our sympathy, and we arose from
our seat and followed him. We
found him sitting upon the porch,
bathed in tears.
“Friend,” said we, “you seem to
be greatly distressed that you can
not obtain liquor; surely you are
better without it.”
“It is not that, sir,—it is not that
that grieves me: it is the remem-
berance of other days.”
Then pointing tc a fine farm that
lay aeross the road, he said 1
“Do you see that farm 7 It'was
once mine—it now belongs to the
keeper of this house ;—I have lost,
and he has gained it. by my intern*
perance. But that is not all. I
had a wife who loved me dearer
than her own life. My intemper*
ance has killed her. She lies io-
yonder graveyard; and sometimes,
when I feel as I do now, I go there

of the ungodly, soul and body-kill
ing rumseller may be filled, and
that he may, when he has robbed
them of their last cent, sneer at them
contemptuously and say, “Then
you can have nothing here.” No
immediate benefits are derived from
an intemperate course of life, and
nothing but misery and woe can be
