All her serious earnestness vanish- ed, as with kindling cheek and an eye sparkling with glee, she retort- ed playfully-- "Ah, Ne Varey, we ladies onl break needles ; ; you gentlemen rok hearts.' 'He must be a cold and cruel mortal who could break yours, Miss Royle,' gallantly said the newly in- troduced Mr. Smithson with a defer- ential bow, and the most insinuating ot voices, 'She lifted her shoulders lightly-- 'Ob! forewarnd is forearmed ; and my heart is not brittle.' There was a little more such ban- dinage, during which he took no more notice of me than if I had been invisible. Presently, to divert the current of his conversation, which was painfully complimentary, she called his attention to the infant on my lap, acquaiuting him that she was its godmother, and the babe had been named Elizabeth after herself. '1 thought Mr. Varey called you Bessie, Miss Royle ?' 'Ah, so my friends do, but I ro- joice as Elizabeth on state occasions.' '1 should prefor to call you Bessie,' he replied, with much meaning in his tone, adding, 'Oh, that I had had such a fairy zodmother ! what might not her magic wand have made of me ere now !' "I thought- it was quite time to stop this nonsense, for the sake of the dear young lady, who had neither mother nor father to watch over her. ' You had a very good mother, Mr Walter ; if she could not have made a good man of you, no fairy god- ar could havesucceeded better.' Miss Bessie Royle opened her eyes wide as if to ask, 'Do you know this gentleman from Redditch. He languidly opened hiseyes as if recognizing me for the first time.

There were hyacinths in bloom in the colored glasses on my window-ledge jn Camden street when I received a sharp sum- mons from Mrs. Gray. Miss Royle bad a shock and broken a blood-vessel ; I was wanted immediately. « Never shall T forget the change in her "¢ She was g on the shoulder of her trusted old servant (who was generally en. trusted with her mistress' secrets), her clothes bedabbled with blood. There was a large travelling trunk in the middle of the floor, which like chairs, table and piano, was strewed with bridal sobes and other paraphernalia which she had beep packing, and some of the fine embroidered linen was likewise flocked with orimeon stains, ¢ Near the trunk there: was a crushed letter of which I took charge. It was from Walter Smithson, and told the whole story. Tt was a wild and incoherent confession of vice and folly, of entanglements he could not free himself from, of his passionate love for her and a repudiation of his promise to marry her, on the ground that he was utterly unworthy of her and their union would only uring unhappiness to both ! * Youth, health, the blessing of God, an a good doctor pulled her through that time; but she never was herself again, ' She sent his letters and presents back with never a word ; helped me to paek her wedding garments Carefully away ; said jest. ingly ¢ there were as good in the seaas ever Tin, | them in case Mr Crofton went down on his | fut knees to her and proposed.' ¢ Out into company she went as she had never gone before : and as she paid for Mrs. Gray's cabs and tickets to the theatre or con- cert, that lady never objected. People, Mrs Varey amcpng the the number, said Bessie Royle had roon got over herdisappointment, got old enough to tell how her godmother had ¢ kyed over her new frock and poiled it'--a beautifully braded new French merino, with which she had herself bedecked the child. * But tbe proud fire burning within con- sumed the beautiful casket. She wasted away, the hectic on her cheek lighting up her white transparent skin, and brilliant eyes, ¢ I was sent for as soon as she needed at- tendance. Mrs Gray considered she had quite enough on her own hands as it was.-- Bessie Royle did not keep her bed long. 'The day she died she sent for her little namesake, had her seated on the white Will you kindly put a stich into coverlet beside he r, and with her own trans- [ity there's a dear nurse ? Mr Smith- | son unfortunately stepped on the flounce as we were waltzing. See here is a needle,' and she selected one from a pretty green velvet case. 'That is a handy little article to carry about with you," I observed, 'but it should be large enongh to hold thimble and thread as well.' She laughed. Oh, my dear Mrs. Maybury, dou't you accredit me with any thrift aforethought. I am indebted to Mr. Smithson for the dainty little needle box, given as he said, 'to repair the damage he had done. I wonder if she caught a glimpse of my face as I knelt 'down to my task, for she was silent a moment, then. she added lightly, as if to lt up the time, but more as a question than a remark-- "You seem to know the gentleman Mrs Maybury ? 'I was with his mother in her last illness, and housekeeper for some time afterwards. Miss, and I'm sorry to say I don't know much good of him.' 'You see, Mrs. Chappell, I said that to put the dear young thing on her guard, but I don't think she she thanked me, for saying coldly, 'Some people are very consorious,' she drew tho barely finished skirt from my fingers with a curt ¢ That) will do, thank you!" and swept from | the room.

A * vs ae thing for the ovale, of or for her parent hauds suspended around the child's neck a gold locket, engraved with her own name and ate, and containing a curl of her beautiful hair. As she was kissing the child and wishing her a happier fate, I heard a noise as if a man was forcing up-stairs. ¢ As [ presaged, it was Walter Smithson, haggard, untidy, with blood-shot, wild look- ing vyes, resisting Mrs Gray and Mrs Varey, who forbade his approach to the girl whose unhappy life he had blighted. ¢ With the authority [ had years before execrised over him, I led him back into the pazlor below, where he, begged most abject- edly to be permitted to ask forgiveness of an angel he had destroyed. But for an abusive letter, which he owned he deserved (it must have been frcm Mr Crofton), he would nc have known the mischief he had wrought. 'I went up-stairs prepared to break his wishes to the invalid. ¢ To my "surprise, ' Thatis Walter,' she she said. ¢I knew I should see bim once again before I died. Let him come up.' I gave her a stimulent, took away the re- luctant little one, and passed the conscience stricken man into the room with a caution. I saw a heavenly smile break over her face 'as she faintly extended her band to him, and Lclesed the door on a sacred interview. In about half an hour the bell rang vio- lently. I was in the room on the instant followed by Mrs Gray,. Walter Smithson was on his knees by the bedside ; the face on the pillow wore a strange unearthly swile. The thread had soapped--the heart had broken in the very act of forgiveness, and Bessie Royle lay dead before her perjured lover, who rushed down stairs like a maniac. Fearing some tragedy from his violence, 1 hurried after him, and foued him raving and murderer, and Mrs Varey endeavoring to pacify hit, lest be should disturb the peace that never would be broken more. her let the hollow drum beat itself out, Hix remorse would evaporate in a week.
