I’ELKJVIIKT; ‘Please give me this stuff quick,’ came in sharp, imperious accents for a bare headed anil seamy clothed little girl win, hail entered one of our fashionable Broadway drugstores, shivering with cod, and uppareutly in great haste and trepidation. It would have been simply impossible for a by stunder to have guessed at iter ge with any degree of exactness The form was very alight and petite, but the limbs, which poverty and rags had h ft exposed, were delicately and exquisite ly molded ; the ovul face, and exprea sivcly brilliant dark eyes, made a little too sharp anil watchful from early con tact with the Toughest part of 11 10, sug ge.-ted a birth to the thoughtful entirely above and apart from the circumstances now surrounding Iter. A pleusunt-fuced, fine looking yrtung mau stood, to all appearance, deeply en gaged surveying the tastefully-arranged bijouterie with which the.showcase was crowded, hut in reality studying with the eye of an artist and the soul of a man, which, emus-ly oblivious to tatters and external misery, saw only the exceeding Jovrliness ot the dear little one. 1 Why don't you hurry?' came again, more sharply than before. Don't you know granny la dying f The (motor an id, give you tnat pleoe of paper, and you would give me something to make gran ny, sit up'uguhi.' • Yes, in u moment, little dear,' replied the clerk, pleasantly. ‘ Stand on the register ami warm your feet while I am prepari g it.’ * i don’t want to warm my feet; I don't wiut any tiling but that stuff; and I won’t wait all night on it, eittier. It’s no mat er to you who dies, if it ain't some of your folks. - W.m»» »•*•— ~u ™ «..,u 'turn to hurry ?’ continued she, walking up to the-geullemun above described, her voice taking on a plaint’ve coaxing, which almost brought the tears to his ©yes. 1 1 think he is putting it up as quick as ie can, ray dear child; but you musr have a little patience. Perhaps the per scriptiou contains several articles. What Is the mutter with your grandinothei ?’ and, taking her little hand in his, he led her to the register, and soon had the sat is'a -lion of seeing the rich, healthy blood mount to her cheek and brow, entire ly obliterating ail signs of physical suffer ing. ‘Oh this is nice. It. is so cold. Oh, yeS; what is the matter with granny, you-Msked? I don't know; but I guess she Is old enough, to die, more than any thing else; but, after all, it will be kind o' rough on me If she does. I had little enough with her; but I guess I shall less without her.' ‘ Is she your own grandmother ?’ con- tinued the younggeiitlemau, stilt retain ing her hand in one of majesti cally soothing it with ihe other, winch caress the little shy, suspicious bird nev er thought of resenting. ‘X d nuo,' she replied, dreamily. * Have you always lived with your grandmother?’ 4 Oh, no,’ s ild she, lifting her glorious eyes to his, her luce glowing with delight, us some pleasant reminiscence floated be fore her—‘oh no; I lived somewhere and, us realizing the utter hopelessness of ex | iaini"g with whom or where, the poor child burst into a lit ol sobbing. ' 1 lived in somebody’s arms once—a big man like you, with blue eyes, and one ot these things'—gently pulling his mustache 'and with a little lady w;io kissed me all the time', and gave me rings like that’ — pointl"g to an expensive solitaire dia- April 25. 1807—2 y tuoml ou hlu,finger—* to pfay with when X sat on her lap. ‘And is Unit*all you remember, ray little darling?’ *My little what?’ came eagerly from the chiid’slips— 1 my little what? O, do say that again !’ *My little darling!’ repeated Dr Hugh Freeborn, witn u thrillingsoul emphasis, which seemed to almost transform tho little ragged child before him into an angel oflight. 'Darling I darling! I have never heard that since—since—oh, my darling man | —not- since—ho, do tell me when?’ ani with tiie perfect abandon of grief and in nocence, alio litre * herself into the doc tor’s oulsrelched arms. '1 think the medicine is re<idy, little one,' whisper-d Hugh, ,kindly; ‘and now 1 will go home, with you, if you would like to have me.* Hugh paid for the persdriptlon, and with the child clinging tight to bis hand, they wentout into the cold, throuu h buck streets, past abodes of vice and wretched ness, through devious alleys, until she stopped, before it dilapidate ! building in Baxter street. 4 Well, why do you stop,, dear?’ said Dr. Hugh, remluuiugiy. * To. say good-by, darling,’ ‘Not here,’ replied Hugh, his large heart aim ist bursting at tiie child’s lov ing enthusiasm. ‘ I urn g»l*.g to see your grandmother. Perhaps 1 can bo of some beuclit to you.’ ‘ Bui gruuny is awful cross.’ ‘ Never mind ihut, lead the way.' Up ilckety stairs, through dark, myste rious passages, Hugh groped his way.— The warm ntlie hanu so tenderly clasped in his, the little ligure, just far enough uuead to act us pilot, seemed to him os embodiment of home great luminous, loving idea, which hud been present with him since his euillest rembrunce* There was no warmth, no light in the room they entered ; but the little girl lit a candle* and Hugh, whose eyes were ac customed to scenes of poverty and dls- SPoriital.

Not a chair, not a table, not a single comfortable article could bo seen. On a heap of rags In the corner lay the emaciated form of an old woman. Hugh thought at first she was dead ; but, after giving her a few drops of the medicine, she revived and looked about; ‘ Hero Is a gentleman came to see you, granny,’said the little girl approaching the corner. ‘Who is he? What does he want?' came in sharp, querulous tones from the old hag. ‘ I urn a physician, ’ said Hugh kindly, ‘ and thought I might do you some good. How long nave you been Mdk? ‘‘Oh, my God I long enough !—long enough I Oh, I believe lam dying!’ and the laboring pulse and curious death rattle convinced Hugh that the woman had only a few short moments on earth ‘la tills your grandchild? Tell mo quickly for you have no' long to live?’ • Go away—go away I Mind your own business. Who sent you hero to disturb my last hour?’ ‘ls she dying, rcally % darling?’ whisper ed the little stranger drawing closer. ‘.Yes. my dear, dying. Do you feel very sorry ?’ ‘No!’ came very decidedly from the compressed lips. 1 Granny,’ confined she, In quick, ear nest tones, ‘you arfe going to die right away, and you must uot dare to do it until you have told me who I mu, and how I came to live with you! Granny, don’t you .dare do it! I have suffered everything with you. I have begged for you, and you have beat me. Now, if you are mean enough to die without letting me know, the Lord will take careot your case—won’t lie?’ appealing to Hugh. •If you wiali for mercy, my poor wo man,’ said the doctor, very softly, ‘you must jonrseif be merciful! Confess, if you have anything t > confess!’ Hugh administered the cordial again, but with less success. Life seemed eb bing away very fast. ‘ fc>he is. not my own grandchild! my old man stole her—stole her —from an earl in London.’ 4 Hls name? his name? quick! the cordial!’ but it was too late. The vital spurk had fled, and our newly-made friends gazed on the face of a corpse. ’ Tills wasn’t muc/i of a home; but now r haven't 'Ot amj; but I guess Pm glad she is dead. I suppose it would be better if 1 was dead, too !’ continued the child, still gazing at (lie inanimate figure before ‘ What is your name, darling?’ inquir ed Hugh, wishing to amuse her. * * I like that name best,’ she replied, giving him a thanktul glance. ‘ Granny alwayecalied me * Priz; but let mo show you something!’ and she unfastened some of her tatters, and produced a ring of most exquisite workmanship- Five diamonds of the purest water were clus tered together by a most recherche jet setting ami written in plain,old Eng'ish letters, were these words: ‘ Blanche do Pelenbet,' 1 Hoy have you managed to keep thte, my child?' asked Hugh, in surprise. ‘ X felt that that ring was stolon from some of my lolksand / stole it from granny She never thought I did it, though.' ‘This ring would have made you very comfortable, darling; why didn’t yon .sell It?' * Not for the whole world! not for the whole world! Ted me what t 1 ese letters arefor—lcun'tread! Blanche! Blanche!' she repeated, verv. sofuy to herself.— ‘Barling! darling! Oh, yes! these are my names! hut what shall we do with g'anny?’ ami the old prac leal, eager manner came hack to the child. ‘Have you any other clothes, Blanche!’ 'No; these are all.’ * Do you know of any kind person round here that would keep you till morning, my dear! Then I can have you made mote comfortable, and you can go home with me.’ ‘To stay always? what?—go home with you to stay forever and ever? Oh, granny! you bad o'd granny! how glad T urn thu zyou cannot/ hoop . It was quite evident that Blanche saw nothing but relief in the old woman’s death. She had not yet, nolwilhslund twine eimngu training, leurmul the first rudiment of hypncrlcy, and without another look at the companion and cause of her misery, she was led fnjm the house, to spend the irgbtwith a kind hearted woman, who, on several occa sions, had wanned and fed the poor waif. ‘Keep this ring; do please,’ said Blanche, at parting. ‘I don’t want the bother of it any longer. 1 * Hugh placed the liny treasure in his vest-pocket, kissed the little one over again, promised to come early in the morning, and was almost gone, when Blanche, with quivering lips, sobbed : ‘Pleasecall me something, you know what, before y- u go! ‘My little precious darling! darlingV repeated Hugh, earnestly. ‘You huve found a friend who will never forsake you ; the end ami aim of whose existence shall be to make, you comfortable ami hnppv. God b.ess you, my newly-found darling.’ How Doctor Hugh Freeborn felt after having given all necessary instructions concerning the burial of the old woman, after having left no duty unfulfilled, and finally found himself in his own house — in his own room alone—none hut Om nipotence knows. Our young physician had no near relatives; was bles-ed with a comfortable fortune mid splemiid pro fession; was pr aid, intellectual, sympa thetic, and noted far and wide for his large-hearted benevolence; so the waif, thanks to d merciful Providence, had fallen into singularly loving hands. The next morning, early, Hugh took his housekeeper to see her—a fine matronly woman (whom nature predisposed to love everything loveable)—and before noon of the same day, no one would have recog nized m too tastefully and richly dressed lit le one, tlie poor rugged child of the night previous. To Hugh site could scarcely be more beautiful. All of his spare time he spent in instructing her; and In every way possible endeavored to throw some light on the circumstances of her bi 1)1; but his efforts were not crowned wiili success. Her age seemed a maUorofgreut perplexity, Mrs. JDuubr.i, the housekeeper, thought her iu the neighborhood of eleven or twelve; but Hugh, who understood her greatimellec tual strength, and realized how easily, and without apparent effort, she stepped into the world of science and belles lettres, considered her much older. viu- t sic and the languages seemed a part of her very existence; and study to this strangely ‘precious child was but play.— Three years and a l alf glided on in this manner, and Blanche'hud grown tall., beautifully developed, add lovely beyond description. The budding of woman hood Only made Blanche more intense more earnest, mure Ipvlng to her guar dian. No hand but hers ever poured his coffee, untied his cravat; no one but Blanche was allowed to bring his slip pers, and help him on with his dressing gown ; no hand bather’s must soothe him when 111. Biuuohe sung to him when weary; played euchre and chess when, ho needed dry rston ; was, in short, a part of his life, which he could no more have given.up than his own actual exls: tenoe; uud yet Hugh Freeborn had ut tered not a syllable of the deep and burn ing love by which ho was being consum ed* • - ‘Darling guardle, you are ill! I have seen It ever so,long,* sa d Blanche, sor rowfully, as one evening one aat on a low stool by the gofa, running tier fingers lovingly through the soft curly hair. — ' 1 wonder what is the matter with you? Physician, heal thyself! 1 she added, laughingly. Now, Blanche cared very little fofeoulety, audcould never -ecoax ed or cooled into umu .ement of any de scription, unless Hugh uccompanie i her. Tiia* the young gentleman was fond of this devotion, is trile ; still he longed to know whether it was the child born ol gratitude, or the offspring of deep, ear* nest, passionate lovo. So Hugh becain miserable, and Blanche worried bersoi almost lit. * I’ll tell you, Doctor Hugh; let’s go to Purls to the Exposition, It will do you . good, physically, and give me a chance to air my French, Let us sen something of the world, guardie; you will be better for the change, and f, durl log> long in some incomprehensible man ner for the other side.’ So Hugh, nothing loath ; engaged pas sage for Europe, and our young guard! an and his lovely ward not long after tqund themselves in gay, laughing, of fer vests ntPa'is. Nothing escaped Blanche, but then* seemed to Hugh a restlessness and ner vous trepidation about her which bo had never observed la fore. 4 Blanche I fear wo are doing almosr too much sight-seeing for youi health.— Perhaps it would lie wise to wait 'a few days before dissipating any further.’ 4 Oh, guardie K I am not tired; and am really very wel ; but somehow, I fell so near my childhood’s home. I feel pshaw—how foolish I am. Let’s make a day of it to the picture gallery ’ iSo to the picture gallery they went.— Blanche, in elegant walking costume, her flue face glowing with enthusiasm, moved around among the works of art, un objectof beauty more attrao'lve to the appreclativatbau the works ol the old masters, * Guardie, darling, do you see that ele gant looking man and sweet little woman over on that, side? Don’t look now; there, they have turned fora moment.’ ‘ Well, what of them, dear.’ 1 1 don’t know,’ replied Blanche, and hurst into tears. 4 They not t.e al lowed to leave this place, guardie, until 1 have spoken to them. Now, how wilt you manage it?’ 4 Trust to your own impressions, my chilli; they will never lead you astray.*’ Blanche wiped her eves, took Hugh’s . arm, walked to the other side of the gal •• ry, approacheo the gentleman am! lady who ho attracted her, and, without a word, 1 halted directly in front of them.— The eyes of the two ladies met. 4 My God, mother if there is anything in nature,! murmured Hugh. The little woman drew her arm from her husband's, and took both of Blanche’s trembling hands in hers. ‘ What sentyou to me, sweet girl?’ she asked, in love’s bewildering accents -4 My heart, mother ; my heart, which cannot ho mistaken. ‘Arc you Blanche <ie Pelenbet? and did you leave your (tailing?' and Blanche drew from her finger the ting and gave it to the excited woman. My'child—rny darling!’ carae from mother and father at the same time, and Blanche, half fainting, wus (0-1 by them into a private room, there to toll the whole story. Hugh, poor Hugh, felt strangely out of place, especially when the Earl ol Cuatlc lon, Blanche’s father, mistook him for his daughter’s husband; but Blanche soon came to his deliverance, explained all, £ ml was made profoundly happy by their exoressions of love and gratitude. Three or four years hud those heart broken parents spent in looking f.»r their lost one, and meeting with no success hud finally abandoned the search, de cided that she must be dead.

What for, yon b*d old guaruier ■ neave ..*«in.'England ?’ Why, ol course, Blanche. YourNnier and mother have the best right right to you,’ reasoned blind Hugh. ‘ When it Is necessary for you to return to New York, guardle, t have it all ar ranged. Papa and mamma (how funny that sounds) are to return with us, and we can all be together, ttowcoufd I live here without you, guardle. You are cruel,’ Hugh was amused ; the idea of separa tion had never entered the maiden’s heu<l. ‘ But, ray darling, if you return to America with me, you must first be my wife, with the consent of your parents,’ and Hugh was astonished at bia own boldness. . ‘ Why, yes, guardle, that will be nice ; I like that don’t you ? Why, I couldn’t live an hour away from you,’ and Hugh’s head was drawn to her hosdra and cover ed with lore’s earnest caresses. The marriage was duly consummated, and the happy qu netto embarked for America, where, the darling's parent’s, dropping their title, live serenely, amply repaid for their years of wretchedness.
