We 4ou began to ascend repidatt
little p4Ii which wound up the side of
the moil tehapenetrating here and there
thickets of trees. The young girl stop-
ped, occ4sionaliy, in her light and rapid
ascent t4 see if I followed her, and,
breatbIes from her walk, smiled with-
out spea ing. On reaching the plateau,
a barren heath, I perceived at some dis-
tance a Maga church, the sham angler'
of its mall steeple clearly defined
against tie sky. "There it is," said
. my con uctress, quiekeniug her steps.
Behind tae church was a graveyard, in-
closed b a high wall. She opened the
door of the inclosure And passing with
difficulty through Are brambles and
high gr which encumbered this rest-
ing placel of the dead, directed her
course to ard a flight of steps in the
form of s semicircle at the extremity of
the grave erd: These steps, disjointed
by timees d singularly ornamented with
massive g obes or spheres, led up to a

there exten ed, as fer as the eye 'could

there with bright spots, and which pre-
sented the , appearance of land half
abandoned by an ebbing tide. This
large bay ' eaehed, almost under our

shining surf ce of the water. As the
sun rapidly Ineared the horizon, he al-
ternatively illuminated, br threw into
_
shadow, some one of the innutherable
lakes whioh potted the half -dried gulf:
he seemed to draw frotn his celestial
casket the most precious materials,
gold, silver, rubies and diamonds, to
display them by turns, on every point of
this =qui& nt plain. Just as he sunk
below the hoitizon, a vapory and undu-
lating line which bounded the, extreme
limit of the Marshes, suddenly mourned
an exquisite iflame-like purple." I was
wholly absorbed in the contemplation of
this picture, "tamped with a truly di -
',One grandeur, when a low, stifled voice
murmured 'near me, "My God 1 how
beautiful it is.' ,
I was far from expecting this sym-
pathetic outbreak from my young cm -
pardon. I tuined toward her with a
warnith and surprise which did not de-
crease when 1 saw the change in her
countenance, 4nd the trembling of her
Hp., attesting i the sincerity of her ad-
miration.
"You confess it is beautiful 1' said I.
She shook her head; but at that mo-
ment two great tears rolled slowly down
her cheeks; elle climbed themaway,
making an indignant geeture ; then
turning sudderily to the granite cross,
the baae of which served her for a ped-
estal, she grasped it with her hands,
and leaning her head firmly against it,
sobbed convula vely.

I felt I ough not to interrupt, by a
single word, th cortege of this unlooked
foremotion, and respectfully withdrew
a fevi steps. After a moment, seeing
her raise her head, and replace with a
careless hand the hair that had become
unfaetened, I approached her.
"Row ashamed I am 1" she murmur-
ed. I
"Be happy, rather, and cease the at-
tempt, I pray yoa, to dry up the source
of these tears ; it is sacred. Besides,
you can never aceomplish it."
"It shall be done I' cried the young
girl, violently. f` Besides, it is done!
This at of weeping was only an over-
sight. All that is beautiful,and all that
is good—I wish , to hate it—I do hate
it!", .t.
"I And why ? Good God !"
She looked me in the face, and added,
with al gestage of pride and inexpress-
ible mamas, " because I ani beautiful
and can never be loved 1"
Thera like a torrent long restrained,
which has finally broken its bounds, she
contineed, " It is true, nevertbeless !"
And she put her hand upon her breast.

" Well 1 I am resigned to it; but all
'Viet one dreams of, all that speaks to
me- of forbidden happiness, all that
rouses in me a useless love—I drive it

ling with emotion; then in a lower
voice she resumed, "Monsieur, I have
not sought for this --I have not weighed
my words, I have not designed to be-
stow all this confidence upon you—but I
have spoken; you know all— and if I
have ever wounded,your eensibility, now
I believe yon will forgive me."
She gave me her hand. When my
lips touched thia soft hand, still wet
with hertears, it-oeetned to me that a
mortal languor filled my veins. Mar-
guerite turned away herhead, gazed for
a moment at the darkening heavens,
then slowly descended the steps, saying,
"Let us go."

turn f the road threw on her a ray of
pale light, her open, steadfast eyes
showed in silent coinmunion with her
one inconsolable thought. For myself,
I can hardly say what I felt; a strange
sensation of mingled joy and grief had
usurped my Whole being, and I yielded
to it one ylields to a dream of which
one is consoler's but lacks the strength
to shake off.
We arrived at home about midnight. I
descended from the carriage at the en-
trance of the avenue, in order to reach
my epartmeats • by the shortest way
across the peek. As I entered a dark
path the smind of approaching steps
and voices struck my ear, and I distin-
guished two figures in the darkness. The
night Was so far advanced as to justify
my precaution of concealing myself in
the thicket, and watching these noctur-

that instant the sound of the carriage
wheels alarmed them, and after a warm
pressure of their hands they separated
hastily, Mlle. Helonin going in the di-
rectio of the bateau, and the other
towardthe forest.
I reterned to my room, and still re-'

roque and her daughter had gone to pay
another visit to Madame de Saint -Cant,
and to bring home Madame Aubry. I
found Mlle. Helouin *lobe in the cha-
teau, whither I had gone to carry her
her quarter's 'salary, for though nay
duties eft me, in general, a stranger to
o
the maagement and internal disciplinef the bowie, the ladies had desired,
out of tegaril for Mlle. Helouin, as well
at for Myself, that our salaries should
intse through no hands but mine.
The young lady was seated in a little
boudoir adjoining the saloon. She re-
ceived me with a pensive sweetness
which touched me. I possessed at that
moment that fullness of heart which
disposes one*to confidence and goodwill.
I resolved, like a true Don Quixote, to
extend a succoring hand :to this lonely
being. "Mademoiselle," I said, abrupt-
" youaleve withdrawn your friendship
fromerie, but mine still remains wholly
yours; will you permit me to give you
a proof of it ?"
She looked at, me and murtnured a
"timid "
" Well ! n'Y poor ehild, you vill ruin
yourself."
She rose hastily. "You saw me that
night in the park ?"
- "Yea,mademoiselle." ,
" My ,God 1" She took one step to-
.
ward me. "Monsieur Alain:alien, I
swear to you that I am a ' virtuous
girl." 1
"1 believe it, mademoiselle ; but I
ought to tell you that, in this little rom-
ance, very innocent, doubtleu, on your
part, but less so on the part of Vie other,
you seriously risk your reputetion and
your peace of mind. I bag yciu to re-
flect, and I beg you, at the saline time,
to be assured that LW one but 1 yourself
shall ever hear a word fronii my month
on this' subject."
, I was retiring, when she threw herself
on her knees beside a sofa,sobbing aloud,
and leaned her forehead on my hand,
which she had seized, I had a€ n but a
moved by these. "bit me, mademoi-

said she., "You speak of saving me—
it is you have ruined me! • After having
feigned to love me, you have repulsed
