THE PIiANTIYiVI BRIDE
"Will you love too even beyond-the tomb?"
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

Immediately the candles wero relighted,
and Fulmen again appeared. She threw off
her winding sheet, and seated herself in a
chair by his ride. Her face had the cadaver
one paleness of the tomb; ]ter- e was sad;
her step slow dud painful ; yet her exquisite
beauty exerted the slime fascination over
Ralph as when eparkling,.with life and viva.

at her with admiration: '.' •
"Yet if-my-hand should touch yours." , she
returued, with a sad smile, "you would alter

"Give me your band and you will see,"

had self control enough to conquer it, and
again to reprint.: • '

Fultnen stopped him by a gesture. • •

and he found himself in complete darkness.
If Viscount Ralph had been a Frenchman,
as soon as Fulmen disappeared, ho would have
opened the winilow, and let the cool night air
play upon his brow. Then, the fever fit being
over, he would have.said to himself:
"All this is folly. I ant twenty-two years,
old, aft officer in the king is service, and am
about-to-marry young girl, blond as a Ma
done,. fair as a lily, who will bring me an in•
come of a hundred thousand livres.. I have
only to be quiet. and let things take their
course."
After which' ho would have slept quietly,
and dreamed no more of Fulmon. But Ralph
was a &mailman, with o n imagination an sue-
coptible of omtUntionits most of his country-
men of the land of mountain and mist. As
soon as the, phantom' vanished. he re lighted
the candles by the aid of a haltextinguisbed
.firehrand, and, opening the casket, he .took
out the vial.
"Fulmen ! Fulmed! wait for me! I. am
coming!" he murmuredi:and swallowed the
contents at a'draught.
For a moment he experiengeal a strange and
inexpliciiblesebsation; a cotfines's in the chest
and a heat in the head; then hie eyes became
heavy t 'his limbs trembled ; an extreme lan
gor crept over him, and ho sank upon the
floor, still murmuring faintly :
'•Fulmen, wait for me—.l love you I".
When Ralph swallowed the contents of the
vial, he expected to awake in the other world.
Ile was mistaken. The vial contained only a
'narcotic, and lie was very much astonished
on opening his eyes to-find himself in. bed,.
and to see the sun shining through the cur
tained window. A woman sat by the, bed
side. It was Fultnen! but no longer the'pare, o
and Fulmen, with livid lips, and form envel

The reader will understand the explanation
of all this more readily than the young vis
count, whose bend was somewhat confused
frOm the effect of the narcotic. Tho young
kir] had wished to put the sudden passion of
her ball-room lover to th‘Tfetti; and with some
difficulty she had persuaded her fond- old •
father and her cousin Ilormine to lend them
selves to the mystification. A.little ingenuity,
some invisible assistance, a transparent glove
of serpent skin, aided by the native supersti
tion of the young Soolehman, wore all that
was necessary to them:mesa of the scheme. •

CAVORT IN 1119 OWN TRAP.
A girl, young end pretty, but, above all,
gifted with an air of adorable candor, lately
presented herself before a Parisian lawyer.
•Monsieur,l came to consult pita on a grave
affair. I want to obligo a man I love to mar
ry me is spite:Of himself. how shall I pro
ceed ?'
The gentleman of the'bnr had, of course, a
sufficiently elastic: conscience: He reflected a
moment; then, being cure that no third person
board him, replied, unhesitatingly;
'Mademoiselle, according to our law, you
always possess the means of forcing n man to
marry you. You must remain on three :mon.
Mons nlono t.ith him, that you call go before
a judge nod swear that he is your lover.'
:And that will suffice, Monsieur ?' •
'Yes, Mademoiselle, with one further eon-
.That you will produce witnesses who will
Make an oath to their having seen you remain
a good quarter of an hour with the individual
saiti,ta have trifled with your affections."
Nery.srtitt,-.Monsieur, I will retain ynu as
counsel in the management of this affair.--'-
Good day.' 0
A few days afterwards the young girl re•
turned. She was mysteriously received lir
the lairyer, - whit scarcely giving - her time to
' seat herself, questioned her with the most
lively curiosity.
•Well,'Madonioiselle, how do matters pros

'Capital.' „.
. 'Persevere in your dieslgns, Mademsoielle,
but Mitidlhe next time you come to consult
me, you mist toll me what the name of the
young man ie that we are g9,lzsg to render so
happy-invite of Itintielf.'
'You shall have it without fail, Monsieur.'
A fortnight afterwards, the young person,
More nate and candid than ever, knocked
discreetly at the door of her'counsitl'a room.
No sooner was she in the room, than she flung
herself-into-a chair, saying-that she had came -
"up the steps too rapidly, and that the exertion
lied made her breathless. Her cpunsel en
deavored to, re-assure .her, made her inhale
salts,.and even proposed to release her gar
ments.
'lt is useless,' sbei said, 'I am much better.'
'Well, Mademoiselle, now toll me the name
of thelortunate mortal you are going to es
pouse.' • • '
'Well, the fortunate mortal, be it known to
you, is-routtset.r,' said the young beau
ty, bursting into a laugh love you: I
have been three times tele-a•lete with you, and
my four witnesses are below, ready and wit.
liug to accompany me to the.magistrate,' she
gravely continued. . .
The lawyer, thus caught. had the good
sense not to get angry. The' most singular
fact of all is, that. be, adores his young wife,
who, bythe way, makes a most excellent .
housekeeper..'.

therefore respectfully remind mothers that,
in Poland, a period of childhood is recog•
nized., There, girls do not jump from in.
fancy to young ladyhood. 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
