Wo had been married nearly ten years, and whnt with the cares of homo and tho training of numtroits olivebranchci, sho had nove hud any chanco of n rest. Of course, we had been to tho seaside frequently, nnd nil thnt sort of thing ; but then , surrounded by children and nurses, theso trips had only been a continuation of the general London responsibilities, plus tho worries and incon vcuienco of lodgings or hotels. Moreover, within the lost few years there had been some trouble in her family, which had acted very prejudically upon her senltive nnd high-strung nature. So now we wero going away alone going to leave all the children at home in tho chargo of n grandmother- were going abroad for six weeks together wherever sho liked. Ilcr will was to be paramount ; I was to be her slave to pay the bills nnd look after the luggage. Her affection and untiring devotion to her duties deserved no less.

A lhare of pucUo patron-, age la soiiciwd. transported to distant places or, ratber, resorted to the modern golden equivalent for such proceedings and we found ourselves certainly, as if by magic, at Lucerne. Thence wo were to take it easy, and so jogged along over the St. Gotbard Pass, and dropped in to Italy at the Locarno end of the Lago Maeiore. Ry thU time sho was beginning to enjoy herself thoroughly ; Mio had got over th fatigue, and already looked much as sho did tho day I married her. Ye, it was very de lightful to sco her so well and happy. 'Why, it is liko n honeymoon over again,' she said ; 'or, rather, it is as if there had been no break, and thnt it was only the continuation of those early days.' We spent hours and hours upon tho lake, beneath the awnings of the llat-bottomed boata, those first inceptions of the gondola, or wo wandered up to the pictnrefquo old convent or banctuary of the Madonna del Sasso, set like a jewel amid the blue hills be hind the town. And there, in the soit autumn evenings, we sat and watched the glorious sunset, and the boundless panorama of alp, plain and lake, while the bell in the campanile hard by called the peasantry to vespers, and tho pealing of the deep-toned organ resouutied through the choir. We selected Locarno as a nailing pnice, because it was at that time, and U so partly still, out of tho rush of tho tourist. A prim itive place, with simple, civil people, willing to serve and oblige honestly, and without having for the first question in their minds. What shall we get by it?' Thus wo came to know some of them living up there near tho sanctuary, and to speak or nod when we met from time to time. Notably among these was a mother and Child a sweet little chubby cherub of a boy about 4. The Italian folk in the North thero are not as a rule hamUome, but this mother was an exception, and the child was like her. Superior, too, in all respects, sho looked better born, bred nlirt nurtured ; nay there was even u look of culture and refine, mpnt about her. Immensely attracted by thU pair, my wile particularly would lose no opportunity of Kivitii; the little ono a pat and a ki"s, and of exchanging a pleaiant word or two in tho best Italian she could uitHter with the moth er, who by degrees on her part began to speak a little English, and to take us into her confidence. She explained that she hail matried an Engli-hman, n gentleman, she declared, who had died suddenly, more thin four years ago, and just before the little uno was born. His family never knew of the marriage : he had intended, she said, to pro claim it, and faco the consequences of the mesalliance, as it would bo called ; but his sudden end prevented this, and to this day sho believed her existence even unknown to her husband's people. Rut she did not care he had left her just enough to live upon, and she had come to dwell at Locamo.where her aged father lived, and whose last days sho desired to soothe. She was contented with the humble life she led there in yonder littlo wooden chalet at least until the good God should take him to his rest Would wo enter the abode and speak to her father? Ho was a very handsome old man, a native of Tuscany, who had seen better days. It mattered little that, or why he had come so far North. Her name was asked. Ah, her maiden namo was ono that in past times had struck terror to tho loes o liberty j sho would rather not mention it Her father even had considered it wise to drop it, and had adopted her snr-name, her married name, tho name of her husband that is. What, had he taken an English name? No, not an English name ; her busbam: had been naturalized as an Italian, had changed his namo for reasons they did not kignify,nnd he was known as Giorgio Viane' ro ; she was Lucia. Of course, wo went in and spoko to the old farmer-like man, who, partially para lyzed, always sat by tho window of his neat littlo house. He received us with tho grace of a prince, regretted that his Infirmities prevented him from doing tho honors ot the neighborhood, so beautiful as it was, Naturalry wo looked in upon him more than once ; but still it was his grandchild that was the attraction, my wile declaring that little l'aollo was tho veriest darling she had ever seen, that he reminded her o our youngest, and that she should like to carry him off, probably because we had not euough of our own, Now she was a woman not given to mor bid .fancies, thoroughly healthy, with plenty ofccjnuion sense. Bo I wo a Uttlosurprised at this extravagant adjiilTation, nnd, to bear her, say that the child boro any resemblance to ours. I could see none. Hut it was 'her holjday,' and she was not to be crossed. Well, ifl waa surprised by thiaJudga how much more so I was when she suddeti' lrt'lV,r.nln'OnT,niinrerf1Iior''wtsh'trfre. ly onemornlng "announced her wish tore turn home. 'Wo havo not been nway threo week9,' I mildly protested, 'No,1 sho said j 'but I have got a strango longing to see the children j I can't bear to bo away from them any longer, I have never been away from them two days, much lets two weeks, before, and I can't bear it ; I mint go back,' And leave thus suddenly your pretty lit tle protego on the bill up there ?' I ventured to say. les, she answered, 'that is the reason, that Is what has made mo wish to go, I mean the sight of that mother's lovo for her child makes me envious ; I want to bo with my own.' What could I say? It was her hMulay, to do as she pleased with ; if sho pleased to cut it short, sho must. 'We will bo olf to-night, love,' I said but inwardly I was grieved, saddened, not only by the disappointment, but because, teeing that wo had excellent accounts from home, this strange freak had something mor bid in it, iinllko her. Yet there was no ap peal, and I began making arrangements for our departure. 'You will go up and say good-bye to tho little chap, your friend?' I nsked. 'Certainly,' ahe answered ; 'you will come with mo, won't you ?' 'We will go nt once,' I said. I was the slave, I had nothing to do but' to obey. It was a wild nnd gusty day for August, nnd the landscape looked less inviting than usual, as wo ascended tho zigzag path lead ing to the sanctuary a little above which on the hill-side lay tho homo of our new friends- At one of tho angles near the top of this zigzag tho path passed perilously close to a steep precipice, which for somo distance formed one bank of a mountain stream as it came tearing down over a rocky bed. This spot was a great height from the level of the lake, and the precipice itself just thero was some forty feet above the river. A few rough bushes made a feeble parapet on the broken ground at tho actual edge, but be yond these there was nothing but a sheer down wall of rock. As we reached this corn er we saw fluttering in the wind what looked at first like a handkerchief hanging from ono of the bushes, but which proved at our com ing closer to be the garment of a child who was standing at the very vergo of the chasm. 'How dangerous I' exclaimed my wife. 'Who could have left a child in such a place?' It was a solitary walk this, especially at midday, and wo had not met a creature since wo cleared the outskirts of the town, except an old monk toddling down upon somo mun dane errand, 'Ah!' sho cried, as we got still nearor, why it is yes, I declare why, it is dear little l'aolo himself. Good gracious! he has strayed away down' here alone to look for blackberries, no doubt ;' and as sho spoke she rushed forward, and seizing tho child by the skirt drew it back from the perilous edge over which it was craning. Ab I came up we both saw that tho littlo creaturo was cry- ng bitterly, nnd ho immediately (began pointing down toward the stream, and lisp ing out, 'Mia madro, mia madrel' I bent over nnd looked dowu in the di rection the little one was pointing, and to my dismay among tho rocks at the vergo of the river beheld lying prostrate thirty feet below, tho motionless form of tho mother, Then ensued a scene which I will not dwell upon. I flew up tho sanctuary for as sistance. My wife, clasping tho little one in her arms, hastened down to the place where it was just possible by a very rough scramble to get round to the bed of the river. Here I and those whom I had brought with me. presently joined her, and we made our way to the luckless woman. She was not dead, but quite insensible, and after infinite troub le and caro we managed to carry her up to her home, my wife with Paolo in her arms preceding us, and breaking the sad news to the father. The only Bort of medical aid obtainable in that primitive place came from the sanct uary, and soon an old monk to whom tho natives all seemed to defer, was in atten dance, and after a careful examination of the patient pronounced that by a great mer cy no bones wero broken, but that the poor woman was suffering from concussion of the brain, and that some weeks might elapse be fore she would be about again. Do you hold to your determination of re turning home?' said to my wife.when the cx citement and tho sorrow which this catastro phe had caused were a little abated ; for own I was selfish enough to hope that out o this evil good might come in the Bhape o making her prolong her holiday. Tho hopi was realized. No,' she answered j 'perhaps I can be o: some use here : I will not go back yet. This little one will want a mother's care now will be that mother for I lovo him more than ever, and I wish more than ever that ho be longed to me.' I need hardly say that under other cir cumstances I should havo entirely objected to her assuming such maternal respouslbili ties : I should have pointed out that was no duty of hers, a well born lady, in this fashion to lnook after the oilspring of an unknown peasant woman, and that there wero plenty of neighbors willing and ready to undertake the task, and who were really the proper people, etc. Hut what could I do? Was it not 'her holiday ?' and had I not promised a hundred times to grant every wiah.wliim and caprice? because I thought sho had none, and never expected to be put to this kind of test for had I not married a sensible woman ? was puzzled, but I could only conform, say ing to myself : 'They aro strange creatures women j one never knows them no, not af ter ten years of the closest scrutiny,' So we stayod on j she devoting the great er part of her time to attendance upon the sick woman (who still lay unconscious) and her child, whoso lisping, imperfect words told us too plainly that it was whiU reach' ing over tho edge of tho precipice to (father blackberries for him that his mother had lost her footing and fallen headlong down My wife would spend hours by tho bedside, I ventured to remonstrate, aud got n severe snubbing for my pains. One evening, about a week after the catastrophe, while I was waltiug for her at spot hard by the sanctuary where we often sat, she came up to mo in the most excited frame of mind, I was leally alarmed had never seen her equable temperament so disturbed, 'Oh, Walter,' she exclaimed, 'I have just come from the poor woman, and I have had such a shock She has regained con sclouiness,but not her senees.whlch the good fralc, who watches her always, tolls mo fre quently happens In such cases.' Hut what of tlia? Why should it oxclte you so ?' I asked, quito mytllfied at my wife's words, 'Ah, I don't know j I cannot tell you : my hopes, my beliefs, have hardly taken form yet ; only come quickly with me up to the house. 0, Walter, it is all so wonderful I Come, let us get on faster ; I want so to get back that you nnd I both may listen to Lucia Vianero's broken words.provo their meaning and so clear upn doubt that' 'What do you mean ?' I cried. 'What can sho have said to so strangely move you ?' And I inwardly thought, '0, that I had nov er consented to her holiday I' 'I will tell you, if you will only hurry on as fost as you can. Signs of animation set in about on hour ago, and the first words wero: 'l'aolo, I'aolluo.' I held the boy up to her, but she took no heed of him, and went on murmuring another name over and over so often that I felt quite mysteriously affected. It was' Hut here, reaching the door of tho chalet, my wife hurried me to tho bedside. The old monk held up a warning finger as we entered : Wo hardly dared to draw a breath as we listened to Lucia's low, uncon scious tones. 'Giorgio, Giorgio mio,' she was saying, in Italian, liko one vho talks in a dream ; 'never tell of our marriage; they will not love me; they will neglect me. Hide it, aud the little one too; do not let them see him ; they would break his heart with cold ness; they would not even own him I Yes, perhaps your sister might, for she loved you, Giorgio mio; you have told me so. Sho felt for you and wept for you, nnd knew why you went away and came to live in the midst of sunny skies aud beautiful pictures. Ah, well, you can tell her if you like; she would love I'aolino for your sake. Look at him Giorgio. Kiss him I' Hero she seemed once more to lapse into unconsciousness, and tho good frate said 'Ah, poor Lucia, her mind wanders back to her marriage, and mingling past and pres ent, sho speaks of what never was ; the fath er never saw tho child.' 'Did you know her husband, then ?' in quired my wife in Italian. Tho frato shook his head. 'Only the cir cumstances of the marriage.' Tell mo what woro they ?' she exclaimed clasping her hands as in agony of excite ment. 'Simple, very simple,' said tho holy man, quito unmoved, aud shrugging his ample shoulders ; 'a young Englishman, an artist, living in Florence, and who had made Italy the land of his adoption, and who took an Italian name, fell in lovo with Lucia, who as his model, and married her ; not an un usual occurrence among your countrymen, I believe,' he added, turning to me. I was bewildered ; did not know in tho least what to mako of all this, and I have no doubt I looked as stupidly helpless as I felt. 'And then ?' eagerly inquired my wife, seizing thefrate's arm, and looking into his face, after casting a glance of unutterable! scorn upon mo. He mado a littlo home for her.and every thing promised well for their happiness, when ho was taken suddenly ill, broke a blood vessel, and died in Lucia's arms.' 'Do you know what his English namo was?' here again hurriedly inquired my wife. 'What can you possibly want to know that for?' I interposed in English, quite in tho dark as to what sho was driving at. '0, Walter, Walter 1 how stupid you are 1' she answered, throwing more and more con tempt into her words and manner ; 'does nothing suggest itself to you ? Can't you guess what I am thinking of? Tell me,' she said, again repeating her question In Italian, and turning to the monk, 'tell me the Eng lish name of Lucia's husband ; do you know what it was?' Si, Sicnora, si ; but I cannot reveal it ; it was made known to me under the seal of confession.' Seeing that she was again about to urga the Irate to grant her request, I entreated her to be silent, and to look after little Pao lo, who was climbing up to his mother and trying to make her play with him. Ah 1' she then exclaimed, 'dear little fel low ; do look at him, Walter, and then think of his lather's assumed Italian name Vianero.think what its English equivalent means.' More bewildered than ever, I obeyed her command, and began to think, while she, oncomore in Italian earnestly entreated tho frate to tell her the name. 'For mercy sake, let me know,' she said. I am not asking out of idlo curiosity, but only that lovo and service may be rendered to the memory of the dead. I feel that I am on the point of a discovery; tell me, am I not right in believing that his name was George Illackaway?' Tho monk started at these words, and so did I ; for this was the name of my wife s only brother, whoso death was the piece of family sorrow referred to at the starting. A hit of a scapegrace, with a strong turn for art, and never understood by his father, bo bad gone to Rome years ago had expa triated himself, and, with the little compe tence he possessed, had entirely withdrawn himself from all his early associations. His sister alone at long Intervals had tidings of him. and at length wo heard, but not till long alter tho event, that he had died in Florence suddenly. Thero was a rumor that he had married under au assumed name, had been 'natural! zed as an Italian, but nothing very definite came to light. And now, what was happening? Why, that we had come upon a trace of his latter days,aud had found In this ohncure corner of tho world the pretty Italian woman he had matried. 'Yes,' exclaimed my wife, turning with an air of triumph to me ; 'and perhaps, Walter, you can now understand what It is that drew mo from the first toward this woman and child, and why the littlo crea ture Inspired me with such deep affection. It was the mysterious nnd subtle Instinct of kinship, of blood relationship, for this baby boy Is my brother's child ;' and with theso words she seized the little fellow, clasped him to her bosom and wept copiously. The matter was clear to u now at last ; but who on earth could have expected such a denouement, or that she should havo been led to the ouly spot where the could havo gained any tidings of her brother t And yet so it was, and this discovery was j RIon Nicholas, July 21, 1803, drafted, mus- the result of 'her holiday, that treat which I had designed 'all for her." Of course, wa had an addition to our family ; of course, tho coutract for her holiday would not have been completed if I had" Interposed views of mine, and had prevented her carrying off In the end the young scml-Itallan.scara- raouch to add to our own collection. However, I am bound to say I bellevo she might not have pressed this point, had it not been for tho fatal effect of tho accident, which, after all, terminated in Lucia's death, and consequently for tho child having thus, as it were, fallen to our chargo as his natural guardians. It was all very sad and miserable, the end of our time at Locarno involving numerous complications with tho local law. We wero detained there till the end of October, for the old padrone departed this life soon aftct her daughter, and wo had some difficulty in proving our right to tho child. Our right to the child 1 Humph! Tru ly, women are wonderful beings; and she had instinctively discovered that right, had discovered it through that mysterious, deli cate, subtle Intuition to which our masculine and grosser natures aro entire strangers. She was quite correct from tho first. Littlo Pao lo has grown up marvelou'sly like his young est cousin ; even I can see it now. Lmdon Society, Historical. HISTORY 01' CuLUMMA COUNTY.
