The question name from the vermilion lips a; young girl at afrincy-balLiaParis during he reign Of Louis XV. She was a brilliant .runente, with abundant:raven hair, and wore he Spnnisla veil and nientilla, which she had seumed for the occasion, with all the grace 'n daughter of Andalusia. Her interlocutor, young viscount, of twenty, arrayed as a page •f Mary Stuart, in' Scotch plaid and Highland menet and feather, had been pursuing the air unknown all the evening with protesta tions of love and eternal fideiitY•. His answer was•prompt and unhesitating. • "Yes,!l swear i:.. If I die I will dream of you,in the sepulchre, and a thrill-of joy will welcome you if your foot but press tholgrftse over my head." ' •• • !• • - "And if I should,die?" inquired the young. girl, in a sad tone. • , "If put should'die, r will be faithful to you dead ae living; and if you should be per mitted to visit me, I will kiss your' cold hand with ae lunch Ipre,es at' this moment':—and. he pressed to ilia lips the little wpite hand of the beautiful Spaniard. • • Ah,_weliftpermlt_yeu.:thnn, toleve.me.. We shall see if you will be constant. Fare well we shall meet again." • "But where ?—when ?" demanded the vis-, count, anxiously • •-" I cannot tell. Perhaps here—perhaps elsewhere—but you will see tne." And twith a gesture which forbade him to fellow ,Ler, she disappeared in the crowd. . Two years passed, during which Viscount Ralph 'sought vainly at Manly, at Versailles-, in every, place of public resort—for his beau tiful unknown. ! Ile was a Sootchman by birth, and, like many of his countrymen, had eater ml the service of the King of Franco. But'a court life did not comport very well with . his Blonder fdriune. and he, became, ere • long, deeply involved in debt. • Ton must find some rich heiress," said his sympathizing friends—it was the usual resource of embarrassed gentlemen of that ' e10y4.• But, the viscount bad not forgotten the bewitching Andalusian, and was in no mood for.the seareh. Ile was spared the trouble, however. llis uncle, who was archbishop, in. z.irlibui, of an Atisyrian , city, destroyed by the Romans, informed him, one day, that it 'was time for him to marry, and that. LP had 'found a' wife kir him. "Is she rich-I" enquired Ralph.. "I do not ask if she is pro ty. It is all the same to me." "Very rich, and very pretty." . The viscount though. of his ,unknown, and I sighed ; then thaaght — or bis - Creditors, and consented. The 'uncle arranged everything, and when all wis settled, he . gove his nephew his benediction and two hundred piAtoles, and ' sent - alio off to Burgundy, to pay his respects to Mlle !do - Roche. Noire, whom Le was td, marry in a fortnight. ' A gloomy journey of several days' duration brougai, him at length, to the ancient feudal manor-house of R onto Noire, situated in the heart of a forest, on a lofty rock, from which it derived its name. He was expected. The grand door of the_ manor house was etien, end, an aged servant met Lim at the threshold, and conducted him to a'large hall, at the extremity of which sat an old mom and a young The, former. whom ho divined at once to be the Baron.of Roche Noire, rose at Ida entrance, and saluting _him in the somewhat formal fashion of the day., presented him to his daughter Hemline. The latter had the deli clue beauty of the flower 'which has unfolded Under a nortliern sun. She was pale, with fair hair, and eyes.of the deep blue of an Ita lian sky. Her figure•was slight, but graceful, her hands exquisitely shaped, and transparent as alabaster. So much the viscount saw as he bent low - before his betrothed, and in spite of his indifference, he inwardly congratulated himself on Ids goodfortune. The viecount and baron exchanged the usual reciprocal compliments and . inquiries, Ralph was accustomed •q society, and understood well the art of making himself ngi:emible; 'the baron, spite of his seventy winters, hail- not forgotten how to by it courtier, and Ilermine had the simple grace, the dignity, the modes. ty, without prudery, of a young girl of high -.birth, religiously educated, but without any rigidity. The conversation soon became ani mated and sparkling, while Ralph watched., Hemline, and now and then Murmured to himself, ..She is charming! blessings on my uncle for finding me a wife at once so pretty and so rich." IViten supper was announced, lie offered his hand to the young girl, who accepted it with, a blush, while the baron led the way to the dining room. It was a lofty apartment, furnished in the Massive style of Louis and upon the walls were suspended ancient family portraits. As Ralph's eyes glanced over these, it was attracted by ono whose freshness formed a striking contrast to the smoky canvasses of the defunct Barons of Roche Noire, It. represented a young•girl of dazzling, but foreign beauty, such as is only found. under southern shies. A more brilliant daughter of Spain never danced the bolero in the.perfunted gardens of the Alliaffbra. ' The eyes of Ralph were 14+4 :immoveably upon the canvas; the first glance lied' told him that it was his lung-lost unknown of the fancy hall. • "Coinmluty.-floar viscount," said the baron, "let us be seated." Ralph st•irted and obeyed; then turned his °yeti from the portrait to flerinine, tract with that glowing 'beauty, she appeared to be utterly insipid. lie made some remark about the picture. The baron did not reply; but a cloud passed over his face, end Hertidne turned pale, and sat. silent, with downcast eyes. 'A chill seemed to be thrown over thioni three poisons, just now talking eo joymittly. Brief remark_ s were made - occasionally, in a constrained tone, and the supper ended al most in silence. At its close, the viscount made the fatigue• of his journey 4n excusefor retiring early. As the sorsaut etas conduct. iuig him to his aportment; 'they passed again through the dining•hall. ' "Whose portrait ie this ?" lie asked, point ing to the pioturo of the lady. - The servant hesitated. • "Speak !" said tile viscount, imperiously. "It is the portrait of Wile Fulmen," said the.old man, trembling, ...And who is she?" "The pider sister of Wile Hermino." • • "But she is dressed in Spanish oostume" "Yes, her mother was a Spanish lady.. , • "And Fukien, where is she now.?"-• "She iedend;" said the old man, solemnly. She lies at. the loft of tha'altor in the chapel of the Chateau." • Fatigue had, no power that night to bring sleep to Ralph's eyelids It woe in vain that he extinguished the candles, and buried his head underthe blankets; •the image of Fulmer' still pursued him. Now, it ,i , lll/1 Mum rad innt with'beauty, as olio wait represented in the, picture, and as he bad_ seen her at the fancy-ball; again, it was nihilism,. pole and cold: extended in her - coffin, under the pave.' ment of the chapel.

They are not sent from the cradle directly to the drawing•room to dress, sit still, and look pretty. During. childhood which extends through a period of several years, thsy are plainly and loose• ly dressed, and allowed to run, romp and play, in the open air. They take to sunshine as do the flowers. • They are not loaded down, girded about, and oppreised every way with . countless frills and superabundant flounces, so as to be admired for their much clothing. Plain, simple food, free and varied exercise abundant sunshine, and good moral and mental culture, are the secrets of beauty in after life. -Ladies' .I*.tospaper.
