Morquis Angelo Poscarini Wag the last

physicians recommended Dieppe to him as

strength T),ts occurred in the month of
July some few years since
Ills Brighter accompanied him : the most
beautiful of Italy's daughters, where there
are so many competitors for the prize of
loveliness.
Olympia was an only child ; yet the mar
quis had been married four times,
Devoured by ambition and pnde, he could
not even from her conceal his annoyance
about her sex ; for now his name, which had
been handed down in the direct line for four
centuries, would perish with himself. He
would freely have given his immense fortune
twice over, his life, his child's life all, to
have possessed a son wbo would hand down
his name to irvisterity.
At sixty lie was the widower of two Ro
man ladies of high descent, and of a German
princess and all three had died without his
wish being accomplished. He wax old now,
arid worn by the intrigues of place and am

before him every moment more visibly, and
to try to conceal the painful fact from his
view, this last of the Foscarini endeavored
by gaieties and pleasures to crown himself
with the semblance of youth. Ike raised
around him a rampant of debaucheries;
orgies, and gambling: he flung millions away

Olympia knew why her father lived this.
He did not spare her the knowledge of why
hif was so reckless. Without ,pity, towards
hinq k not caring how much he pained her
heart, he was constantly reproaching her as
the cause of all. Cursing her and her dead
mother, he oared not how much she who so
tenderly loved him, beheld the unsightly
wounds of his •robitiotis heart ; and when
Ike caw her in tears, his only resource was to

When his feverish nights of excitement
had paned, broken down and trembling
from a debauch of 'wine ■nd gamtding. ho
was in the habit of going to the baths, or
seeking,dn the wave a renctial of vigor to
pursue an existence capable of killing a
strong, man of twenty, And yet he was too
unhappy to relinquish the excitement.

carried away, and then flunk in Vaunting'
state 'limn the beach. The next was taking
him away to destruction, when a young
man, who was bathing, qwam to his sense

When F. , mrairini opened his eyes. he turned
to thank the one who had saved and,

At the end of a month., the marquis and

But luck changed.
The marquis had a passion for a sort of
lon called boitilotte, which Stephen erected
to like ..,ttlitally well, l' 'tad already cost

means to win him from his love of gamliliog.
If Olt were refused to him, he felt the des

natural to a, young man like himself, who
had vainly aonght the one he loved 'to long.
Stephen's motive throughout had been a
good one If he won all from the marquis.
he hoped by a marriage with the daughter,
then more than probable, to win the ru
ined gambler from his propeusitieu to
peace in the bosom of his family.
Foscarint and Steplum were seated oppo

stinotively to draw bark, Stephen Placed his

from the parisian bunker.
At five in the morning he had won two
hundred thousand piastera,t ho banker eighty

thousand ,
It was Foncarini who had lost all that.
The gamblers drank a glass of punch. and

he found nothing. Never before hid a Man

At last he advane,eetwo (liming eves close

At these horrible words all the other gam

And while these gloomy words left the
