UNDER FALSE COLORS.
(Concluded.)
• e will pass over the events of the next few'
years. It would hardly interest you to follow, as
I did, each step by -which the heroine of my his-
tory progressed ever downward on the path of
vice.. We find her at last _travelling in Italy un-
der the protection of the Count Von Erleisten, an
Austrian noble of great wealth and dissolute char-
acter: • She has cast aside the name she once
bore, and anticipating the jewel -borrowed cog-
noraies of Cora Pearl and La Reine Topaz, she
adopts a title from the .profusion of pink coral
jewelry which she habitually wears, and Rose
Sherbrooke is known as Rose Coral."
Horace paused. A short, sharp sound brake
the mopmentary silence, it was caused by the
snapping of one of the gilded fan -sticks under the
pressure of the white, rigid fingers that clasped
it. But the listener kept her, face hidden, and
but nit that convulsive motion the speaker might
have fancied that she slept, so silent and motion-
less did- she remain. After a short pause Horace
continued*: -
"The -attachment of Count Von Erlenstain
proved to be a lasting one, and we find Rose Cor-
al at a later period enstalled in a luxurious estab-
lishment in -Vienna, and one of the reigning queens
of that realm of many soveregns, thedem,i-nionde
of the gay capital of Austria.- But the Count
fallsill:- his sickness speedily assumes a danger-
ous forn" ; his death deprives Rose Carol of her
splendor; and the sunny streets of Vienna know
her fair face no more. • I will not trace for you,
as I could do, each step in her rapid descent from
luxury to poverty, from splendor to vice, from
celebrity to ruin. But one day she makes her ap-
pearance, under the name of Rhoda Steele, on
board the steamship America, bound for New
York. The state -room which she occupies is
shared by a young girl named Marion Nugent,
whose future career is to be that of a goyerness
jn the United States. On the first night one of
the occupant S of the state -room is taken, suddenly
ill and dies ; the corpse is committed to the deep
and it is reported throughout the ship thaa the
name of the.deceased is Rhoda Steele. Thetale
was false : it was Marion Nugent who diedit
Was Rose Sherbrooke, alias Rose Carol, alia8
-Rhoda Steele, .who lived to rob the poor girl of
her effects and to 458=e her name !"
• The broken fan was flung violently on the floor
and Mrs. Rutherford sprang to her feet, her face
livid with passion and her blue eyes blazing with
a steel -like light.
"How dare you come here to assert such false-
hoods" she cried: "You have always hated
me—you and all the rest of your haughty femily
--because it pleased Clement Rutherford to mar-
ry me—me, a penniless governess. But I am
your sister -in law, and I demand that you treat
me with proper respect. You came here to -day
simply to insult mt. Well, sir, I will summon
my husband, and he shall protect me from your
insolence."
She turned toward the door as she • spoke but
he motioned her back with an imperative and
scornftil geeture. •
"Softly. • Rose Carol," he said with a sneer
the manners of the Quartier Breda are notmuch
to my taste, not do they suit the character you
have been pleased to assume. Do you think me
so void of common sense as to return home with-
out full proof of your identity? I have in my
possession a large colored photograph of you, tak-
en some years -ago by Hildebrandit, of Vienna,
and endorsed by him on the back with a certifi-
cate stating that it is an accurate likeness of the
celebrated Rosa Carol. Secondly, I have brought
home With me two witnesses—one is Jane Sheld-
on, late househeeper for the Rev. Walter Nugent
and forraerly nurse to the deceased Marion Nu-
gent; and the other is a French hairdresser who
• lived. many years in Vienna, and who, for several
months, daily arranged the profuse tresses of Rosa
Coral. One will prove who you are not, and the
other will as certainly prove who you are."
"Who I was," she said, defiently. I will
deny it to longer : I am Rose Sherbrooke, once
luiown. as Rose Ceral, and what is more to the
purpose, I am the wife of Clement Rutherford.
Have a care, ray brother Horace, lest you reveal
to the world that your immaculate relatives have
been touching pitch of the bleckest hue and great-
est tenacity. Prove me to be the vilest of my
sex, I remain none the less a, wedded wife—_ -your
brother's wife—and I defy you. The game is
played. out, and I have won it."
• She threw herself back in her chair and cast on
him a glance of insolent disdain. Horace 'Ruth-
erford, looked at her with a scornful smile.
"The game is not played out," he said calmly.
"One card remains in my hands, and I produce
it. It is the Ace of Diamonds, and its title is
The Rose Of the Morning."
A livid paleness overspread Mrs. Rutherford's
features, and a stifled cry escaped from her lips.
She half rose from her seat, but, -seeming to re-
collect horielf,* she sink back and covered her
face with her hands. Horace continued after a
moraentary pause: •
"My investigations into dee, history of the
Count Wilhelm Von Erlenstein during the last
years of his life revealed the fact that he had lost
the most valuable of the jewels of his family. It
had been stolen. It was a pink diamond of great
size and beauty, known to gem connoisseurs by
the name of The Rose of the Morning—one of
those remarkable stones which have it history and
a pedigree, and which are as well known by re-
putation to diamond -fanciers as are Raphael's
Transfiguration and the Apollo Belvidere to the
lovers of art. This gem was worn by Count Wil-
helm as a clasp to the plume in his toque at a
fancy ball given by one of the Metternich family,
at which he appeared indict costume of Henri IIL,
of France. He afterward, with culpable careless -
nes, placed' it amongst his studs, pins, watch -
chains, and other similar bijouterie, in a small
steel -cabinet which "stood in his bed chamber:
His illness and. the dismissal of Rose Coal occur-
red soon after the fancy ball in question, .land it
was not till his heir, the present count, had been
for. some time in possession of the estates that it
was diaeovered that the gteat diamond was mis-
sing. • It was not to be found, and suspicion im-
mediately fell uponethe late count's valet, a
Frenchman named Antoine Lassalle, Who was
found to have been mysterionsly possessed of a
large BUM of money after the count's death. He
was arrested, and it was conclusively proved that
he had stolen a number of valuable trinkets from
hi3 dying master, but still no trace of The Rose
of the Morning could be discovered, and Lassalle
strenuously denied all knowledge respecting it.
The family offered large rewards for its discovery
and the detectives of all the large cities of Europe
have been for some time on the alert to discover
it, but in vain. As soon as I heard this story, I
.thought that I could make a tolerably shrewd
guess as to the whereabouts of the •missinglewel ;
midi caused investigations to be set omfoot in
New York by a trusty agent, which resulted in
the discovery that The Rose of the Morning had
been sold some six months before to a jeweler in
Maiden Lane for about oneetwenty-fifth of its
value, the peculiar tint of the stone, and the
purchaser's ignorance of the eatimation in which
it is held by the gem -fanciers of Furope, -having
militated against the magnitude of the valuation
• set upon it. It was secured for me at a compara-
tively trifling price.- The person who sold it to
the jeweler some six months ago, in spite of a
• partial disguise and an assumed name, was easy
to recognize, from the description given, as that
lady of many names Mrs. John, Archer's govern-
ess..You may be Airs, Clement Rutherford, my
brother's lawful wife, but you' -,are not the less a
thief and a criminal, for whom the laws have ter-
rible punishment and bitter degredation."
"This is but a poor inventions; where are your
proofs?" she cried, looking up as she spoke, but
her faltering voice and quivering lips contradict-
ed her words.
"Here is my chief witness." He clrew Off his
left-hand glove as'he spoke, and extended his
hand tywards her. On the third finger blazed the
beautiful gem of which he had spoken, its great
size end purity fully displayed in the afternoon
sunlight that flashed back in easyradiance from
its bright -tinted depths. -
"It is almost too large to wear as a ring," he
said with great coolness, looking at the jewel,
but I wish it to run no further risks till 1 can
transfer it to its proper owner, -which will be as
soon as it has played its talismanic part by free-
ing my brother from his impostor -wife."
The lady rose from her seat, pale, calm, and
resolved.
"Further insults are useless, sir," she said.
" The !same if ended now, and you have won it.
What is it that you wish me to do ?"
You must sail for Europe in one of next
week's steamers, leaving behind you sach a con-
fession of guilt as will enable my brother to pro-
cure a divorse without revealing the shameful
fact that he was the innocent means of intorduc-
ing an • ostor—a ei-devant lorette to his family
and frierkls as his wit. Better this scandal of
an elope ent than the horror of having such a
story mide public. An income amply sufficient
for your wants will be settledetpon you, on con-
dition that you never return tothe United States,
and never, in any way, proclaim the fact that
• Mrs. Clement Rutherford and Rose Coral were
.one and the same person."
"1 accept your conditions," she said wearily.
I will go, never to return.. eiow leave me.
But stay : will you not answer me one question?"
I will, certainly."
"Who. was it that discovered my secret"
"My mother—my blind mother. Some years
ago, -riefore she lost her sight, I accompanied her
on a short European tour, in which we visited
Beigland, France, Switzerland, and filially hely.
While we were at Rome I fell ill with the fever
of the country,and my physicians gave orders
that as soon as I was well enough to travel I
should leave Italy for a more bracing climate.
We had not visited Naples, and I was anxious
that nay mother should not return home without
seeing the wonders of this city; so as soon as I
became canvalescent I prevailed upon her,to leave •
me in the care ot some friends, and to join aparty
who were going thither. During the stay she
went frequently to the opera. One evening she
wrs greatly disturbed by the loud talking and
laughing of some persons in thenox next to the
one she occupied, and she was much struck with
the beauty, the brilliant toilette, and the boister-
ous conduct of one of the female members of the
party. She inquired the name of the person she
had thus remarked. It was yourself, and she
learned, not only your name, but your whole
history. When at her own dinner -table she
heard the sweet and singular laugh that had so
struck her on that occasion, the sensitiveness of
hearing peculiar to the blind caused- her to recog-
nize the sound at once; and the description
which I afterwards gave her of your personal ap-
pearance only changed torturing doubts into ago-
nizing certainty."
"Thanks for your courtesy; I will detain you
no longer."
Horace bowed and approached the door. Sud-
denly, as if moved by a sudden impulse, he turn-
ed back.
"Believe me, this task has been a hard one,"
he said earnestly. "And remember, if hereafter
you need pecuniary aid, do not hesitate to apply
to me. For heaven's sake do not return to the
life you once led. There was one. redeeming fea-
ture in the imposter which you practised: it
showed that some yearning for a pure name and
innotent life was yet possible to you."
"I want no sermons," she answered, abruptly.
"Only leave me at peace. Go, I am sick of the
sight of you."
As he closed the . door he cast one parting
lance on the room and its occupant. She stood
• g against the back of a large arm -chair, her
clasped hands resting on the top, and her white,
rigid face set in the fixed calmness of total des-
pair.
Thus left alone, she remained standingfor tome
time as motionless as though she were a marble
stone and not a living woman. Suddenly she
seemed to take some desperate resolvershe threw
back her head with a bitter, mirthlees laugh, and
going to the bell she rang it. • Her maid quickly
appeared.
"I have a vrretched. headache, Christine," she
said. "I shall not come down to dinner, and -do
not disturb me till nine e'clock, that willgive me
time enough to dress for Mrs. Winchester's ball.
I will wear the pale -blue satin and my point -lace
tunic. Be sure you change the white roeetethat
loop it for pink ones, and lay out my Future of
pearls and diamonds, and my point -lace fan and
handkerchief. Now bring me the two phials that
stand on the third shelf of the closet in my bed-
chamber.
Christine departed on her errand • and soon- re -
returned, bringing with her two bottles. the
smallest of which was labelled, "Solutim of
Morphia—Porsow. Dose for an adult, ten
/while -the largest was simply inscribed, 1-
'phuric- Ether," These she placed on the chim-
ney piece,and thee proceeded to arrange the
cnshions of the lounge, and to draw the curtaiu• -s.
• "I will now leave madame to her repose," she
said. Does madame need anything more r
• "No, I shall want nothing more," was the re -
.ply. The door closed upon the maid's retreating
form, • and Mrs. Rutherford instantly shot the.
bolt.
, Shel cast a sad and wistful glance around the
dainty room and on its glittering contents.
Petals is bleu ici," said she regretfully, "I had
found here the existence which suited me, and
now the end has coine. It is not in my nature
• to remain satisfied with a life of poverty and re-
spectibility, and I will not return to one of deg-
redation and vice. But, after all, what does it
matter? • My fate would have found me sooner
or later, and this soft couch is better than s hos-
pital bed or the slabs of La Margie. This draught
is more soothing than the cold waters of the
Manses or the_Seitae. Life is no longer . a game.
that is worth the candle: let us extinguish the.
lights and put the cards away."
She took up the phial of morphia, drew 'die
little sofa' nearer to the fire -place and extended
herself upon it. The daylight faded from. the
sky and night eame, and with the night clime
sleep—a sleep whose dream was of Eternity, and
whose waking light would be the dawn of there-
surrectionanoraing. •
• "Accidental death" was the verdict of the core
ner and the newspapers, and, in fact, of the world
in general—a conclusion much issisted • by the
evidence of Christine, who testified. that her mis-
tress was the habit of using narcotics an
amestheties its large quantities to relievethe
of -the neuralgie.headache from which she was constant sufferer. Society said, "How sad
dreadful, Is it not ?" and went *on its way—no
exactly rejoieing, for the death of Mrs. Rutherford deprived its members of her long-promised
long-talked-of Shrove Tuesday ball, and. conse• quently the gay world mourn her - loss very
sincerely for a short time; in fact, till a well-
known leader of fashion announced her intention
of giving a fancy dress party on the night thus
left vacant, whereupon Society was consoled, and
Mrs Rutherford's sad fate was forgotton.
Only two) persons—Horace Rutherford and., his
mother—suspected that her death was not an
accidental one; but they guarded their secret
carefully,. and Clement Rutherford will never
learn that hie dead wife was other than the; in-
nocent English gin she represented herself t�. be.
Walter Nugent wrote a pathetic letter to Mrs.
• Rutherford,. begging that a lock of his lost and
now forgiving darling's hair might besent to him;
and it cost Horace a sharp pang of regret when
he substituted for the black, wavy tress fuznish-
ed by Clement a golden ringlet purchased from
one of thedeading hair -dressers- of New York.
• "Heaven forgive me !" he said to himself re-
morsefully, as he sealed the little pack; "but I
really think this is one of the cases wherein one
cannot be blamed_ for not revealing the truth."
A few•months later, Horace Rutherfotd stood
in Greenwood Cemetry contemplating with curi-
osity and interest the inscription on a recently
erected- monument of pure white marble:.
"Sacred to the memory of Marion Nugent, be-
loved wife of Clement Rutherford," be read.
"Well,. this is consistent at least. She wears the
disguise of a virtuous woman in her very tomb.
Marion Nugent rests beneath the waves of the
Atlantie ocean, and here Rose Sherbrooke sleeps
in an honored grave beneath the shelter of the
dead girl's stainless name. But the deception has
power to harm no longer, so let us leave her in
peace. It is well for our family, that, even as a
sunken wreck, we still find this pirate bark Un-

ORIGIN AND NUMBER OF ANIMACULES.—If some
hay is placed in a, glass of pure rain water, and al-
lowed to soak for .a few days in a Slimy plolce, and
if it be then removed, the water will be found,
under e powerful microscope to contain many
very small moving things, which are called infu-
sona, from their being produced after infusing the
hay. The eggs Which were on the hay bred the
myriads of Small things,which often have a very
beautiful coat of transparent flint or ailica. If
the water is kept clean, and is not allowed to de-
compose or Smell, generation. after generaiton of
the infusmia live, die and fall to the bottom of
the glass. They form a very delicate film there,
and minute proportions of it, when examined un-
der a high magnifying power, show the silicious
skeletons or shells very distinctly. Now many
strata in the Oarth are formed entirely of the re-
mains.of infusoria; and a very familar example is
the Tripoli -powder, from the polishing slate of
Bilin, in Bohemia. A single grain of Tripoli -
powder contains 110 fewer than 187,000,000 ani-
malcules; yet the layers of earth which are made
up of them at Bilin extend for miles. . In the har-
bor of Wismar, in the Baltic, they increase and
multiply at a great rate, fon 17,596 cubic feet of
mud are formed every year there, and every
grain of it contains 1,000,000 of the beautiful sin-
ful tiny sea animalcules, and they are in such
numbers that it must be suppose
Barbadoes there is a thick mass of the most beauti-
d the dead min:
cious remains of the„.infussiria.. In the Island of
ute things were constantly falling in.
Faany Fern wishes this statement of hers put
irethe crowns of the gentlemen's hats, "A fool
of either sex is the hardest animal to drive that
ever required a bit. Better one who jumps •a
fence now and then after your sulkey, stupid
donkey, whose rhinoceros back feels neither bad
nor good."
