"On the contrary, it is my intention to

Lord Lovell*, regarding him with a keen

"My lord?" she answered, coming from
the opposite room; and, at a lira he made,
beading down her head to listen to some
whispered words. Theo he waved her end
Mr. Ravensworth away.
"And, Blanch*, do you come hark" he
added to his wife." Ile put out the hand
and arm he was obis to use, as she ay
prosehe4l, and drew her °lsm to him. "Do
you wish this affair noised abroad!"
"I did wish it," she replied. "Think
what it is for ow to be sisepented of each
thing! But if yea are eo very much ("pews&
to it, why let it go untold."
"The beat reflatatiou, Slersehe, will be oar
eordislity whh sash other.
"Your own deadest bus pet that out of
the question," she returned, tents of pride
end vexation filling her eyes.
"Don't he a little simpleton. What was
it you said to me, the other night, about
Wanting a separation?--or else I Imagined
it in the fever. Have you ever though:,
Blanch, what it is fur a wife to be sepersted
from her husband—separated by the law, so
that they do nut meet, and may out if they
would? A wife may entrench herself in her
auger, while the legal steps are in progress;
her temper, bitterly indulged, buoys her up
ald urges her on; but she does Lot reflect
upon the future of her gloomy days; her rei
pentanee, her sad isolated stole, far, far
more bitter and more hopeless, more weary
than aught she had to put up with in her
wedded life. Have you reflected on what it
would be?"
Lady Level did not answer. Some such
gloomy doubts bad penetrated to her mind;
and what with the fright she had undergone
and what with other things, sho had a little
cooled down from her heroirs. He wee her
husband, otter all, as she had sad to Ar
nold Ravensworth.
"Rhinebe," be continued, &miring her
halfreluctant face close to his, "you have
something to forgive; but h is not an black
as you think. lam not strong enough yet,
but when I am wo will have a long talk to
gether."
"You cannot explain away what I saw
and heard in London."
"1 eari . explain away a dark part of h
that you have wrongly got hold of; and don't
I tell you, Blanche, you have something to
forgive? We must live more for each
other."
'if you would only treat me as you are
doing now, with confidence, and not as
though I were a child, I should have no
wish but to lire with you, and for you
ether wish had I when w• utarriedi"
"I know, Welt—we must try and get
along better for the future. But a man is
not en angel of perfection, Blanche, or
woman either. If he has his failings, she
has her aggravating temper."
"Oh, Lord Level! I em not ill-tempered."
"Not unless you get it in your head that
you are provoked to be so, and then up it
rises. Let us forget what has been miss
in the past, and do you forgive. Will you
love?" he softly whispered.
Her Ware rained on his face as she kissed
him. "Only let me see that you thus care
for me, and you may make me what you
will, Archibald."
Lord Loral threw his arm round her
waist and held her there. "What is there
in this world, after all, like a true-hearted
English wife," thought his lordship.
lint where was Mr. Itavensworthf Lis
tening to a tale of astonishment that went
very near to make his hair stood on end.
"We were abroad in Italy," Mrs. Fldw.rds
had said to him: "the late lord went for his
health, which was declining, though he was
but a middle-aged man, and I and toy
brother were with him, his personal &Oen
danti but treated, sir, more like friends.-- T
The present lord,' Mr. Archibald, named of
his father, was with us—he was the
second son, not the hair; the eldest son, Mr.
Level—lrrancia was his name—had bee*
abroad for years, and was then in another
part of Italy. Re came to see his father witen
we first got out there, but he soon left,
again. 'he'll die befirre my turd,' said Ito
Mr. Archibald; ibr if ever I saw oonsump
don on a man's face it was on Mr. Level's.
And I remember Mr. Arthibald's answer
as if it were but yeeterday; 'that', just one
of your fancies, nurses-Frank says he bac
looked the last three years as be looks now.'
But I was right, sir; for, before the death
of my lord, we received news of the death
of Mr. Level, and then Mr. Archibald was
the heir."
"Did the late Lord die In Italy?"
"Ile fed at Florence, sir. My lord—l
speak now of Mr. Arokibald--was in no
hurry to Inove from it, and we stopped there
three inergh's after his father's death.—
'Levet stops for the beaux you: of the Tar
can woluen, l* the world said— but you know,
sir, the world always was censorious; and
young men will be young men. However,
we were ma the move; everything was
periled and prepared for leaving, when there
arrived a young woman. with lame Papers,
and a little child, two year. old. Its faee
frightwed me when I saw it; it was, as
child, what it is now se a man; and you
bars seen ICU-day," she added in a whis
per. "'What le the matter with him?' I
asked, fur I could speak a little Itailmt..—
'Hs'. a born natural, as yet,' sbe answered,
'but the doctors think ho may outgrow it in
part." But who is be? what dues he do
here" I said. Alle's the eon of Mr. Lerch'
she ingdied, 'end I have brought him to the
fbr hie mother, my sister, is alw
dead. "Ile the son of Mr. Level!' I uttered
knowing tato spoke of Mr. Francis, 'then
bow can yea for shame bring him here and
parade him off before us? we English don't
roooguite children that are not born in wed
look.' They were married three years ago,'
she coolly answered, 'and I have brought all
the aeceseary papers to prove it. Mr.Leve/
was a gentleman, and my sister was a
peasant; but site was beautiful and good, and
he married her, and this is their child.
They died withia two months of each other.'"
"Was it truer exclaimed Mr. Rexene
worth.
"It was tree, sir, every word she said. I
rmeserked that is was strange Mr.• Level
eboakl not have mentioned it to his family,
bat she said he was ashamed of the child,
not Wise like others, and he did not think
be was going to die. lie would say when
he had a boy worthy of being shown to his
father, then lie would declare it, she told
me; and one morning be got up in his usual
health, broke a blood vessel, and was gone
in an hour. The woman left the child nod
the papers with my lord; that he might
have his rights, she said, though in evident
ignorance what those rights were: and she
lift again the same evening."
"Then that—that--poor wretch down
there," pointing with his hand to the back
apartments, "is the true Lord Level!"
"Had my Lord not deiire Ime to inform
you atlas, I should have shrunk from it,"
returned Mrs. Edwards. "That unfortu
nate creature is the true Lord Level!"
"The present peer no peer—a usurper!"
murmured Mr. Ravonsvrorth to himself.
"What a secret!" he uttered aloud.
"Sir. you wilt be true to my lord And
keep it," she returned, with a dignified
but yet 3 half-deflont glonee, born of her
love to Lord Level."
"I have no right to betray it," he slowly
replied. "It bee been confided to me, end
I will hold it sacred. But I wish I had nut
kaown
"My lord kept on the title, kept on his
veliges of rank and fortune, as if he had
been the true peer, which he had believed
himself to he. There was a great clause
fur this," she impressively added. "fn , the
pony little thing was a helpless imbecile,
and we none of us thought it would lice
through the year. Our plans were changed
then,and I and my brother stayed abroadwith
the child. lie gut no better, but he lived
on and was herirty, and when ho was five
years old we brought him here—and here
he has ever since been. It would have been
bard thing, almost n sin, fur my lord to
divest himself of his rank and wealth for
one who could not understand the one or
enjoy the other. Archibald has every
kindness shown him, he wants fur nothing,
anti my lord upholdk the honors of his
house. I and my brother have acted
throughout under my lord's orders, and we
have not repented it, for it seem to us that
it would be a cruel wrong to dispossess him
fur a being so feted."
"It is a seerot to the neighborhood, his
boing here?"
"Sir, you might have gathered that.
Even Deborah has no idea of it whatever.
And it is well that it should be so, for pry.
ing questions, though they could do no
harm, would not ho pleasant. My lord, my
brother and myself are the sole keepers of
the secret."
"Has sho informed you?" demanded Lord
Level whee l Mr. Raveneworth returned to
him.
"Of all."
"You perceive then why I have trusted
you; why it is expedient that the existence
of Archibald should not be suspected."
"I do. I shall tell my friend, the inspec
tor, that I have become a convert to Lord
Level's view of tho mystery, and am firmly
persuaded the intruder woe no other than a
poacher."
"You must not betray it to Blanche. I
have told her he is a poor relation taken
can of in the house to avoid disgrace, and
she is satisfied. Ravensworth, you will
forget this tale—if not for my sake, for that
of Blanche, and tho children she may
have."
"On my good faith as a man," replied
Mr. Ravenewortb. "There's my bend np.
oa It."
"A pretty fellow you are, to send on an
errand of life and death," grumbled Major
Carlon when Mr. Raveneworth got back to
London. "A whole night and a day away,
and I waiting upon thorns! What the
dickens kept you?"
"We wdre looking for the fellow."
"Was it 'blanche did it!" whispered Ow
old man, with compressed lips.
"Blanc!. indeed! No, that it was not,
and you ought to take shame to yourself,
major, for suspecting her."
The sailor brightened up, and swan% on
his troilluE cloak more jauntily. "Thin
who was it?"
"&reve scapegrace of a poacher, who man
aged to get in—as Lord Level essepeets.
I lie says he should know Mm again."
( "And are my lord and lady at loggerheads
still?"
"Not a bit of it. I left them better friends
than tkey ever were."
"Iterrah!" shouted the practieal major,
"then I shall hope for some more tin out of
him when bard up; if Bysshe hafturned
against him these was good-bye to it. But
woman are not such fools.to (lc t as they talk;
and, talk as fest as they will. they generally
case down right, in the long run."
The Family lotto
One evening in the latter mad of Janauy,
three years since, the streets and the
boulevards were suddenly deserted and still.
It had been raining all day, when all at
once one of those sharp, cutting winds for
which the climate of Paris is renowned, had
arisen, converting the swollen gutters and
the deep pools of muddy water into solid
masses of glittering ice. The broad panes
of glass of the cafe wtxdows were covered
with fantastic designs drawn by the heated
atmosphere within epos the half-heated
frost-work; the sky above wee a avid steel
gray; not a star was visible, and the gas
lights that so brilliantly illumined the gay
crowd that at other times was at this hour
just roused to life and animation, sow shed
but n feeble ray, imprisoned as was its
power by the opaque covering of ice that
had spread over the lamps.
A few carriages rattled oecasionally
through the streete, whilst at rare interests
the cafe doors would open and shut with a
bang, letting out some heavily mused fig
ure, who rushed desperately along to his
house, feeling that his very life depended on
hie speed.
It was a night for those who pouessed
the very poorest home to b!ess Heaven for
it, and to pity the honseless wanderers.—
The light, the fire, the comforts of home
seems I don!) . ed.
But in no home in Pe►ie was the contrast
between the loner and outer world greater
than in a luxuriously furnished apartment
in the Itue de Tournon, where the height
light streamed on gilding nod orinteon da
mask, where the gay fresh Tokio* of youth
Bashed end laughed as if in defianos of the
howling wind without.
They were all men, the youngest about
twenty, the oldest not over twenty-fits. AU

Now Bermend tame was manly a gay
compassion, ready for anything, oetentatioes
and conceited; but as his friends wen ben•

erosity, and over-looked his selfesoneeit.
This evening a supper, the result of a bet
be bad lost, bad bean given by him, and a
royal feast it bad been, as its remains on
the table and the numerous empty bottles

all had stopped on the verge of intoxication.
Towards midnight, however, the merry
voices began to grow still and the jokes less
frequent, until at length it was evident, from
the templets silence, that 011 had fallen
asleep.
Then an inner door of the room opened,
and through the thick and busy oat dm of
the atmosphere a woman was seen to ad
vanes.
She was scarcely above the n.iddle height,
slender and graceful, and of a beauty whiei,
though fereigto and strange, was indisputs.

Her black hair °Loitered rewind hot head

eyelashes se dark as her hair. Her lips,
full and n a deep crimson, were shaded by
the slightest pencilling of down; her Com
plexion wee, by the artificial light, white
end opaque, like the leaf of the Danielle,
but by the light of day would show a deeper
and more sallow boo than our northern wo
men. Fot beauty such as this it was im
possible not to feel admiration; but that
was all; as violent passions leers indelible
traces on the skin, so corruption leaves on
the' faired face its mark. Every man would
have been proud to say of this woman, this
is my militia's; hat all men would have
blushed to call tier sister.
This fair erestnre, however, glided along
until at length she reached the sofa, where

and reoognisiag who it was who awoke him,
threw his arms round her and as he pressed
his lips to here, murmured, "Josefe."
"Yee, Josefa; you have forgotten Josefa."
"Why, ehild, what time is it!"
"Almost dawn and the storm is howling
fearfully."
"Let it howl, my child; or rather," added
Raymond, rising, "let one of its powerful
breezes wake these sleepers and clear this
stifling atmosphere." As he spoke Raymotid

and with a shiver Raymond's guest. awoke.

"Akt aht gentlemen," emeltinsed Ray

but let me account for her presence, and in

"Your wife? what, are you married?"
"Well, to tell the truth—you don't care,
Josefs, I know—we are not yet married,
but shall be this day week, the day on
whit& I am of age."
"Your father, thee, refused hie consent"
said Theodore de Muret, Raymond's most
intimate friend.
"Of course; Josef* has no fortune bet
that she has made by I•or beauty, beauty
which is renowned from Lima, where she
was born, to Paris where she will become '
my wife."
"From Limn; Jullefx," murmured de Mo

"Yes, we disguise nothing, do we Josef*?

At length something was known of this
strange marriage. Josefa's name, followed
by her husband's title, appeared on the
placards of the great hippodrome. The

The Count, from the hour of his son's

At length, it was three years since the
marriage, a letter was placed in the Count's
hand; it was his son's writing. With n

known characters, and, pausing bat to sub
