this groat earl, tho lover of Beatrice,
should have tho salvo taste as Sir Vano,
whom oho hallooed to be hor husband.
How Orton he had said to her, when the
shadows of night were falling on the
mountains, "''lay my favorite airs,

he would say always, "Now the ono

Agatha." How many timos 'she had
heard him murmur tho words, over and
over again, "Whiter have oyes he wants

that many people should love the same
Mace of music.
"I shall rise very early in the morn-

of lima with my music. I know I aro

that is tho most beautiful; a fancy ball;

And, indeed, Boatrico was at that

"I will think it over," said Agatha.
"It is my birthday on tho twenty-

µHued. Sulo said to herself that sloe had
finished with the world, and she would
have no more of its hollow gayeties ;
she would do anything to help any one
also.
"Tho costume of a Swiss peasant is
very picturesque," said Lady Penrith
to her one clay, and Agatha tromblecl at
the words,
During this time 61(0 never sale the
earl. The children spoke of flim, they
showed her the presents ho brought
them, they tallied of all tho 1'00108 they
had ; but, by some strange Ammo, she
had novor seen him. The whole couuty
seemed to be alive with preparations,
and nothing was tallied about in tbo
country -houses but the fancy bail at
Penrith Castle.
Every ono had agreed over Beatrice
—she must bo "Juliet," the beautiful,
passionate young daughter of the
Uapuloto ; J'uliet, who gave op her
heart at ono word, and never counted
the cost of her love. She was delighted
at the choice ; the dress would snit her
girlish style of loveliness, and, above
all, it suited her frame of mirui. It was
the ouly character, she declared, that
131(0 could have thrown her whole energy
into,
Lord Kelso laughed ; his boantiful bo.
brothsd should havo 11011 own way, of
course. If she were Juliet, he must he
Romeo, and that, he said, was almolit
equivalent to a marriage.
"After snob a very pronoun0Od atfair

"Do you want to got out of it, as you
phrase it ?" asked Beattie°.
".Do you ?" asked Lord Kelso, by way
of a (0(000,
'That I certainly do not," slue replied,
with It blush and a swilo, and a look in
her eves that tnuchId his heart. "After
all," she said, slowly, "Juliet and Romeo

died. If 1 had thought of that, 1—"
"Whitt?" asked the 00111, with selrio
littlo anmisement.
"I would not have chosen it," olio re-
plied. "Itis a bad omen, and I thought
it :oath a good 0170."
"I will not lob you say that 11 is lb 1,011

Juliet."
Certainly the young daughter of tho
Capulets could not have looked fairer
than this beautiful young daughter of
tho P:mitis on tho night of her birth-
day hall. Tho dross of 1111it0 satin,
with its vesturo of pearls, suited her to
admiration ; she had never looked so
well ; but the groatost charm of all was
tho woudorfcl brightness and baanty of
her fact+, the tendarneos of tho bright
oyes, the lovo that soonred to ho hi am-
bush rouud the sweet, curved lips, the
passion and poetry that had novor been
80 apparent as now.
Lord Kelso's oyes followed hor in ad-
miration.
"I thought 1 had wooed a child," be
said ; "and I have now the passionate
bond of a beautiful woman."
IIo was astonished, but kept his s110•
prise wisely to himself.
Well might 13oatrioo Pourith look
happy ou her birthday. Sho 1(µc1 every.
thing that hoavon and earth could giro
her. She had youth, beauty, woalth
mud' love; a beautiful past, and a
mom boautifol fntul:o. She had net a
cam 01 a trouble, and ou tho dawn ccf
that birthday sho was certainly the Hap-
piest girl nud01: the 8nu. Letters and
pr esen is came from all hor friOnlli,but silo
valued most that which Lord Kelso gave
hoe—a superb diamond ring, auel the
happiest hour of hor birthday was the
ono silo spent with him, when he plaoocl
it on hoe !Angor, and whispered to hoe of
another ring bo hopocl to plead (bore
soon. The world was all light to her
after that; oleo seamed to tread on air.
It is pitiful to 800 tho waste of true love
in this world.
Novor had Penrith amino looked so
peofoot as on this day. Tho grand old
hall, which had boon used as a bauquot-
ing hall when kings visitod tho old
castle, was timid as aball.room, instead of
the moclorn room built for tho purposo.
It was of enormouo length, lofty, and
boaublfully d000ratod; no pains 11ac1 been
8pont in its decoration, biors upon. tiers
of magnificent blossoms ro8o num.!. the
ovalis, tall paha troos stood in solitary
grandour, fountains of fragrant waters
gave a musical ripple, tho lights wore
brilliant—hundreds of colored lamps,

"It is liko a fairyland," laughed
Boatlioo. "There novor was such a

Lord liolso laughed.
"I do not think your programme
