The lights in the city were twinkling cheerfully, and reflections from blaz- ing chandeliers were thrown in broad gleams across the spotless snow, ti.at gave the scene an air a ghastly quiet- ode. In one of the finest mansions of the marble walled streets there reigned a supreme and Impenetrable stillness. No eouudft of youthful liiitghler, ot •ong and music, or the treaJ of danc­ ing feet enlivened its inmates. The shutters were tightly closed, and the •xterior of the buildiug presented a lonely and gloomy t^pect. Let us glacce within, A woman lies, pallid and^jeeble, upon a bed, and siftrouiidlng her are three young wemeu, a man of middle age, and a colored female servant. 1 he tick woman's wh te llps moved tremu- lously: -Marie Jayen, come near me." In obedience to the command a lovely girl--of the trio, advanced to the lady's side. Her grace was poetry Itaelf, and tier eyes were like brilliant sapphires set in eyelids of pearl. Her lipa were like banks of blushing roses, lad her voice a brook that flowed be­ tween, "What do 7$u* desire, dear ttat?" she said, "Marie Jayen, yon have always been good to me, and I have tried to requit It. Often have I helped you make mashes on forelg 1 noblemen, and through my assistance you are now en­ gaged to Count Williera Schliesman- Isgerbeergerersteinertnan. The law- ytr,"--tnrniug to the middle-aged man ^*wlll please note down carefully what ^ i BOW tart" I bequeath to Marie Jayen Browen all my false hair, the manu­ script of my unfinished society, novel, •j paste diamond gilded earrings, the baa* burner (the one I have taken 10 bed with me lately on cold nights), my lMt year's spring bonnet, and one ton •f bard coal now in the cellar. •*To you, my equaliyi.d«{ir neioes,"--- addressing herself to the two other weeping damsels,--'"1 leave what fol­ lows: To 6. Kaiteah Smythhe 1 leave a dozen bottles of tonic: three wash tubs, a set of dishes, a clothes horse, the led plush easy chair, nine dozen cloths plus, my toilet set, sixteen flat-irons, the dining table, a eoal scuttle, and one of the clocks on the mantle piece. "And to you"--turning to the last of the trio--"my beloved neice, Loociey It^lmleray Joahnes, (leave two lengths of stove-pipe, one pair of pillow shams, achromo of Napoleon Bonaparte done In green and purple, ten pounds of lard, one bak^L apple, a thousand jjfgpies of old newspapers, my dog, my aprons, and a piece of oil cloth. * MNor are you, my faithful servant"-- •peaking to the negresa--"forgotten. 1 bequeath you the piano to sing to ai sight when yon wish to keep the gen­ tle policeman awake on his beat, or .when your soul soars far above t>ur 4 v^eary earth, and tha wash-tub." Then taping to the lawyer: "The rtmaisHpt property, including JOfd^Weatal«,«a»h, etc., altogether adMuatiug to nla^tilllloiis of dollars, l give to you as the frtce of your servi- ota this day. My dear children, I will •000 be gone" The young womea went onto each eiher. The lawyer suddenly arose, and said to the dying woman: "Madam ' I'am sorry,, but I can not witness this . igill for the amount you have named. It is far too little, and-- "Take it all, then !"shrieked the wan s -i:**oman, and then she died. The nieces r got nothing except the unpaid hills. ':'S.
