Colville fell asleep with the flattered sense ,which abounds in the heart of a young man after his first successful evening in society, but which can visit maturer life only upon some Such condi- *ma of long exile and return as had been realized in his. The looks of these two charming women followed him into . his dreams; he knew he must have pleased there, the dramatic hornage of the child waenvidence of that; and though it had been many years since he h d found it sufficient cause of happiness to have leaned a wornarathe desire to do so was y lie meansextinct in him. The eyes of the girl hovered above him like stars; he felt in their soft gaze that he was a a:malice to her young hea.irt, and this `made him laugh ; it alsol made him sigh. He woke at dawn with a*harp twinge in his shoulder, and he rosel to give him- self the pleasure of making his own fire `with those fagots of broom and pine twigs which he had enjoyed the night before, promising himself to get back into bed when the fire was well going. and.sieep late. While he stood before the 'open stove, the jangling of a small bell outside called him to the window, and he saw a procession which had just issued from the church, virile to admini- ster the extreme unction to some dying person across the piazza.. The parish priest went first,hearing the consecrated waferin its vessel, and at his side an acolyte holding a yellow si k umbrella over the Eucharist; after them caane a number of facehini in white robes and white" hoods that hid their faces; their tapers burned sallow and lif less in the new Morning light; the be . jaagleddis- mallY. "They even die dramatically in this oeuntry„" thought Colville, in whom the tartlet was taken with the effectiveness of the spectacle before his Inunan pity was stirred for the poor sold who was pasAng. He reproached himself for that, anctinstead of getting back i to bed, he dressed and waited for the mature hour whieli he had ordered hisbreakfastfor. When it came at last, picturesquely borne on the open hand ef Giovanni, steaniina coffee, hot milk, sweet butter in dcatc disks, and two white eggs eeerlee tricked in the fold of a napkin,and all grouped upon the wide salver,. it brought hien a measure of t1+ consolation which good cheer imparts to the ridicu- lous I -Inman heart even inl the house .where death is. But the lad incident tempered his mind with a :ant of pen- sivetiss that lasted throUghout the morning, and quite till lunch. He spent the time in going aboat the °hurdles ; but the sunshine which the i day_ began with Was overcast, as it wait', the day l'be- forei and the churches were rather too dark and cold in the afternoon. He went to Viesseux's read', -room and looked over the English rapers, which ir he did net care for much ; and he .also made a diligent search of the catalogue Effie Bowen.; he thought h would like for seme book about Florence for little to surprise her mother with his interest in the -matter.. As the day waned tower(' dark, he felt more and more tempted to take her at her word, when she had said that any day Was her day to hirn, and go to see her. If he had been a younger man he would ,have anxiously considered this indulgence and denied himself, but after forty a man denies himself no reasonable and harm- less indulgence ; he has lea, ed by that time that it is a pity and a folly to do so. Colville found Mrs. Boweii's roomhalf full of waiving and departing visitors, and then he remembered that it was this day :She had named to him on the Ponte Veeehio, and w -hen Miss Gr harn thank- ed him for coming his first Thursday, he made a merit of not having forgottert it, and seid he was going- to ;come every Thursday during the winter. ehlise Graham drew him a cup of tea from the Russian samovar which replaces in some Florentine houses the tea-pot of Ocei- dental civilizatien, and Co ville smiled upon it and upon her, bendi g over the brazen urn with a flower-like tilt of her beaeitiftil head. 'She wore an esthetic dress, of creamy camel's hair, whose color plead the eye as its softness would have flattered the touch. ! "'What a very Tourguerieffish effect the remover gives !" he said, taking a -bisciait from the basket Effie Bowen broaeht him, shrieking with redoubled shyness from' the eyebrow's which he arehed at her. "I wonder you can keep froth calling me Fedor Colvilliteh. 'Where is _your mother, Effie Bowen - calla ?" he asked of the child with a terinitatioo to say Imogene Graharnovna. Graham said, "I'm sorry to say you They bath looked mystifirl, but Nliss won't see Mrs. Bowen to -day. She has a very bad headache, and has left Effie andinc to receive. We feel very in- competent, but she says it will do us 1 good.". There were some people there of the night before, and Colville had to talk to them. One of the ladies asked him if he had met the Inglehart boys as he came in. ' ' The Inglehart boys ? No. What are the Inglehart bays ?" " They were here all last winter, and they've just gat baek It's rather excit- ing for Florence." She gavcj hiin a rapid sketch of that interesting , xodus of a, score of yeung paintersfroni the art school at Munich, under the lead of the singulaa- and fascinating genius by whose name they became known, i " They had their own school for a while in Munich, and then they all came down into Italy in a body. They had their etudio things with , them, and. they travelled third Class, andthey made the greatest ex- cite-ment everywhere, and had the great- est fun: They were a great sensation in Florence. They -wentelerywhere, and weresuch favorites. I hope they are gointita stay." " hope so tee," said delvilie. . " I should like to see them." . Dear me 1" said the lady, with a glariee at the clock. " It's five-! I must be going." The other ladies went,and Colville ap- proached to take leave,but Miss Graham detained him. 1 ' " What is Tourgueneffieh `e.' she de - mended. ! "The ouality of the great Russian novelist Tourgueneff," said Colville, perceiving that she had not heard of him. 1 " Oh !" 1 i-' You ought to read him. , The samo- var a(endsup its agreeable odor all through his hooks. Read Lisa if you want your heart really broken." " I'm glad you approve of heart- breaks in books. So many people won't read anything but cheerful books. It's the only quarrel I have with Mrs. Bowen. She says there are so many sad things in life that they ought to be kept out of books." "Ah, there I perceive a divided duty,' said Colville. 'I should like to agree with both of you. But if Mrs. Bowen were here I should remind; her that if there are so many sad things in life,that is a very goo; reason for putting them in books too. . " Of course I shall tell her what you said." "Why, I don't:object to a certain de- gree of cheerfulness in books; -onlydon't carry it too far—that's all." This made the young girl laugh, and • Colville was encouraged to go on. He told her of the sight be had seen from his window at daybreak,and he depicted it all very graphically, and made her feel its pathos perhaps more keenly than he had felt it Now that little inci- dent kept with me all day, tempering my boisterous joy in the Giottos,and re- • clueing me to a decent composure in the presence of the Cimabues ; and it's pretty hard to keep from laughing at some of them—don't•you think?" The young people perceived that he was making fun again; but he continued with an air of greater seriousness. Don't you see what a very good thing that was to begin one's day with ? Why, even in Santa Croee, with 'the • ther- mometer ten degrees below zero. in the shade of Alfieri's monument, I was no gayer than I should have been in a church at home. .1 suppose Mrs. Bowen would object to having that procession go by under one's window in a book; but I can't really see how it would hurt the reader'or damp his spirits permanently. A wholesome reaction would ensue,such as you see now in me, whom the thing happened to in real life." He stirred his tea, and shook with an inward laugh as he carried it to his lips. "Yes," said Miss .Graham, thought- fully, and she looked at him searchingly in the interval of silence that ensued. But she onlyadded: I wish it would i get warmer n the churches. I've seen hardly anything of them yet.' . "From the wayI felt in them to -day," sighed Colville'"1 should think the churches would begin to thaw out about the Middle of May. But if one goes well wrapped up in furs,and has a friend along to rouse him and keep him walk- ing when he is about to fall into that lethargy which precedes,death by freez- ing, I think they may be visited even now with safety. Have you been in Santa Matia Novella yet ?"' . -"No," Said Miss Graha.m, with a shake of the head that expressed her resolution to speak the whole truth if she died for it, "not even in Santa- Maria Novella." • " What a wonderful eld place it is! That curious facade, with the dials and its layers of black and white • marble soaked, golden red in a hundred thousand sunsets! That exquisite grand portal !" He gesticulated with the hand that the tea -cup left free, to suggest form and measurement, as artists do. "Then the inside ! The great Cimabue, with all that famous history on its back—the first divine Madonna by the first divine master, carried through the streets in , a triumph of - art and religion These. frescoes of Ghirlandajo's, with . real Florentine faces and figures in them,and all lavished upon the eternal twilight of that choir—but I suppose that if the full day were 'let in on them once, they would vanish like ghosts'at cock -crow! You must be sure to ,.see the Spanish chapel; and the old. cloister itself ie such a pathetic place. There's a ,boys' school, es well as a military college, in the suppressed_ convent now, and the colonnades were full of boys running and screaming and laughing and making a joyful racket; it was so much more sor- sowful than silence would have been there. eine of the little scamps °erne ap to -me and the young monk that was showing me round,and bobbed us.a mocking bow and bobbed his hat off; then they all burst out laughing again and raced away, and the monk looked after thdm and said, so sweetly and wearily, They're at their diversions ; we must leave patience.' There are only twelve monks left •there; all the rest are scattered and gone." He gave his cup to Miss Graham for more tea. ' " Don't you think," she asked, draw- ing it from the samovar, *". that it is very sad having the convents.. sup- pressed ?" • "It was very sad having slavery abol- ished -afar some people," suggested Col- ville: he felt the unfairness.of the point he had made. I • " Yes," sighed Miss Graham. - Colville stood stirring his second cup of tea, when the portiere parted, and showed Mrs. Bowen wistfully pausing on the threshold. • Her .face was pale, but she looked extremely pretty 'there. " Ah, come in, Mrs. Bowen!" he called gayly to her. "1 won't give you away to the other people. A cup of tea will do you good." " Oh, I'm a great deal better," said Mrs. Bowen. coming forward to give him leer hand. "1 heard your voice, and I couldn't resist looking in." - " That was very kind of. you," said Colville,gratefully ; and her eyes met his in a glanee that flushed her face a deep red. "You find me herea--I don't know why 1—in my character of old family friend, doing my best to make jife • a burden to the young ladies." "1 wish you would stay to a family dinner with us," said Mrs, Bowen' and Miss Graham brightened in Cordialsup- eort of the hospitality. - "Why can't you?" ' " I don't know, unless its because I'm .a humane person, and have some, con- sideration for your headache.". " Oh, that's all gone," said Mrs. • Bowen. "It was one of those conven- ient headaches—if you ever had them-, yoted know—that go off at sunset." "But you'd have another to -mor- row." No, I'm safe for a -whole fortnight from another." "Then you leave me without an ex- cuse, and I was just wishhig I had none," said Colville. After dinner Mrs. Bowen sent Effie to bed early to make up for the late hours of the night before, but she sat before the fire with Miss Gra,Inim 'rather late, talking Colville over, when he was gone. "He's very puzzling to me," said Miss Graham. Sometimes you think he's nothing but an old cynic!, from his sweet and on't know k hast, talk, and then something so fresh comes out that you hat to do. Deal . you thi 7 .really a very poetical 'nimbi and that hp's _putting all the rest on -?"4 " I think h likes to iiiake little. effects," said re., Bowen, ita., dicioudy. "Be always d'd rather." "-Why, was e like this When he was :young ?" I don't- co • ider him very old now." "No, of ou• se not. -I meant when •you knew him, before." Miss Graham had some nee le: -work in her hand; Mei. Bowen, ho never even pretended to work at .that kind of thing, had nothing i hers but the feather screen. "Re is old, ompared with you, Imo- gene-, but you'l find, as you live along, that your co temporaries are always young. Mr. G I lville is very much im- proved. He u ed to be painfully shy, but he put on bold front, and now the bold front see s to have become a second nature with hi " I like it," aid Miss Graham, to her. needle: • "Yes; but suspect he's still phy, at heart. . He use to be very sentimental, and was alway talking Ruskin. I think if he hadn't : lked Ruskin so much, Jenny Milbury might have treated him' better. It wa very priggish in him." • " Oh, I can't imagine Mr. Colville's being priggish?' .• •Re's very uFh improved. He used to be quite Et s oven in his dress ; you 'know how ver slovenly most American gentlemen are in their dress, at any rate. I think t at influenced her against him too." "He isn't stovenly now," suggested Miss Graham. • "Oh no; he's quite swell," said Mrs. Bowenidepriving the adjective of slangi- ness by the refinement of the tone. - "Well," said Miss C rattan, I don't see bow you coiild have endured her .after that. It was atroeious." "It was better for inr to break with him, if she fotind out she didn't Jove him, than to Merry him. That," said Mrs. Bowen, With a depth of feeling un- common foe_her; "would have been a thousand times worse." "Yes, but she ought to have, found out before she led him on so far." " Sometimes girls can't. They don't know themselves; they think they're in love when they're not. She was very impulsive, and of course she was flatter- ed by it; he was so intellectual. . at last she found. that she couldn't bear it,'and she had to tell him so." • " Did she ever say why she didn'tlOve him?" " No ; I doeil suppose she could.. The only thing 1 remember her saying •was that he was too much of a mix- ture.'" What did she mean by that?", "1 don't know exactly." "Do you think he's insincere ?" " Oh no. Perhaps she meant that he wasn't single-minded." "Finkle ?" "No. He certainly wasn't that in her case." "Undecided ?" . ." He Was decitled enough with her— at last." Imogene dropped the hopeless quest.' "How.can a man ever stand such a thing ?" she sighed. "He stood it very nobly. That was the best thing abeut it; he took it in the most delicate way. She showed me his letter: There wasn't a word or a hint of reproach in it; he seemed to be aoxious about nothing but her feeling badly for him. Of course be couldn't help showing that he was mortified for having pursued iher with attentions that were disagreeable to her; but that was delicate too. Yes, it was a very large - minded. letter:" It was shocking in her to show it." "It wasn't very nice. But it was a • letter that any, girl might have been proud to show."1 • "Oh, she coiddn't have • done it to gratify her vanity !" "Girls are very qiieer, my dear," said Mrs. Bowen, as if the fact were an abstraction. She mused upon the flat • of her screen, while Miss Graham plied .her needle in silence. •• The latter ,spoke first. " Do you think he was very much. broken by it i" "You never can tell. lie went oat West then, and there he has stayed ever since. I suppose his life would have been very different if nothing of the. • kind had happened. He had e great deal ef talent. I always thought I should hear of him in some way." "Well, it wase, heartless, shameless thing 1 I don't see how you can speak of it so lenientlY as -you do, Mrs. Bowen. It nia,kes aI1 sorts of coquetry and flirta- tion more detestable to me than ever. Why, it has ruined his life !" "Oh, he was young. enough then to outlive it. After all, they were a boy .and ' "A boy and girl! How old were they?" '• He -must have been twenty-three or four, and she was twenty." .• • "My age! Do you call that being a ti ?" She Was old enough to knoW what she .was about," said Mr*. Bowen, justly. • , • Imogene fell back in her chair, draw- ing out her needle the full length of its thread, and then lettingeher hand fell. "1 don't know. It seems as if I never should be grown up, or anything but a child. Yes, when I think of the way young men talk, they do .seem -boys. Why can't they' talk like Mr, Col- ville ? 1 wish I could talk like him. It makes you forget how old and plain he is." She remained with her eyelids dropped in an absent survey of her seWing, while Mrs. Bowen regarded her with a look of vexation, impatience, resentment, or the last refinement of these emotions, which she banished from her face before Miss Graham looked up and said, with a smile: How funny it is to see Effie's infatuation .with him! She, can't take • her eyes off him for a 'moment, • and she follows him round the room 410 as not to lose a. word he is saying. It( was heroic of her to go to bed withouta murmur before he left to -night." • (ro be continued.) ..+ —A brother of Re'v Mr. Harris, of Kirkton who came out on basiness from le'ngland ashort time ago, Was drowned while bathing at Newport, R.
