ANTHi•:M: " What is that bell ruizing for I" asked Villeneuve of the waiter: who was leaving the noun. • " Ft:r cuurch," wai the reply. " Fur church ! Oh ! is it Sunday ? I had forgotten it. I did not think there was a church in this small village. yes, indeed," answered the boyii vi:t ige pride taking the alarm, "and a very handsome one, too. just Ion& out at that window, sir. DI) you see that tall, white steeple, behind those big trees there ? That . is the church, and I know there is not a better preach er in t'le whole world than Tatson • Blandlord. He was never pestered for a word yet, and his voice makes one feels° warm and tendet about the heart, • • it does one good to hear hia" Villeneuve cast a languid glance . through the window, fron t'te sofa in which he Vl as reclining, thinking that Pareon Blandlord was very probably some old hum-drute, puritanical preach er, whose usual twang was considered melodious by the vulgar ears which were accustomed to listen to him. Dull as his pi eseut position was, he was re solved to keep it, rather than inflict upon himsell such an intolerable bore. The boy, who had mountaiued ids hob, by, continued, regurdlets of the 12-:- propitious countenance of his auditor. "Then there is Miss Grace Blanc:- ford.. his daughter, plays so beautifull on the organ !, You never heard sucl: music in your life.

Villeneuve'3 countenance •brighten. ed. Allowing for all the hyperbole of ignorance, there were two positive things which were agreeable in them = selves- 7 music and a young maiden. He rose from the sofa, threw aside his dre4sing-gewn, called for l is coat and hat, and commanded the delightad boy to direct him to the church, the near est way. His guide, prOud of •usher ing in such a handsoine and'aristocrat. ic-looking stranger, conducting hire to . one of the most conspicuous seats in the broad aisle, in full view of the pulpit and the orchestra, and Villenouve's first glace was - towal ds the rod cur. tains, which were drawn so . close, not even a 'en rnltse of white was granted to the beholder. Re smiled at his own curiosity. Very likely this angel of the village boy was a great red-faced. hard-1,217Amd c.mntry girl, whO had been taught imperfectly, to thrum the keys of an in.trument, and consequent ly tran,formed by rustic .ipoplicity in to a being if -ups ior ord e r, N p !wit; ter,.any kind of excitement wait h, tter than the ennui from which he had been 5,00 aroused. A Ints, sweet. trembling pre lude st,:e on nis ear: "Su: ely,' thought he, ‘• no vulgar finger.: press those Ley —that is the key-note oftrue l,armony." . He li s tened, the sound ;%velled, deep ened, rolled through the arcli.of the buildi,.g. and sank ag tin with such . a melting toe tears involuntari ly sprang into his eyes. Ashamed of his emotions, he leaned nis head in his hands, and yielded unseen to an influ ence, wnich, coining over him so un expectedly, had -all the force of en chantment. The notes died away, then swelled .again in solemn accom paniment with the opening hymn. The hymn closed with the melodit•us vi brations of the instrument; and for a few .nomeats- there was a must' pro found silence. " The ',old in his •hnly temple ; let all the earth keep silence befure him :" uttered a deep, solemn voice. Villeneuve raised Ins head and gaz ed upon the speaker. He was a man rather past the meridian of life, but wearing unmarred the noblest attrib utes of manhood. His brow was un wrinkled, his piercing eye undimmed. cud his tall figure majestic and unbow ed. Th l e sun. inclined from tie zenith, but the light, the warmth, the splendor remained in all their chiwet, and the hearts of the heareraradiated that light and warmth, till an intense gl.,w pre vaded the'asseMbly, and the opening words of the preacher seemed realiied. Villeneuve was au infidel ; he 'looked upon the tites.of Christianity as theat rical machinery, necessary perhaps, towards cat rying. on the great drama of life, and when the spr l ings were well adjusted and oiled, and the pulleys worked without confusion, and every appeirance of art was kept successfully in the backsground, he was willing to sit and listen as he would to a fine actor when reciting the impressioned lan guage of the stage. ' " This matt is a very fine actor," was his first thought, 4 ir "he knows bin p t well. It is aston ishing, however that he is willing to rerna'n in sucl a limited sphere--with such an ey and voice—such flowing language and graceful elocution, he might make nit fortune in any city. It : inc.mnprehatisible that lie is content . to linger in obscurity." Thus Villen e,'lve speculated, till his whole attention became absorbed in the sermon, whiCh as a literary production was exactly suited to his fastidiously refined taste. The language was simple, the sena- . meats sublime. The preacher did nut bring himself down to the capacities of his auditors, he lifted them to his, heelevated them. he spiritet;ized them.

Why did those few monoton. ous words so thrill throligh every nerve of his being 1 That eternity which he believed was the dream of fanaticism; seemed for a - moment an awful reality, as the last notes of the pman echoed on his ear. • When the benediction _was given, I and the congregatiAn was leaving the church, he watched impatiently far the folding; of the red curtains to part. and Hs heart palpitate) when he saw a whiterobed figure . glide through the . opening and lin nediately disappear. next minute she was seen aft the entrance if the church, evidently wait ing the approach of her fethar, who, surrounded by his people, pressing on each other to catch a kindly greeting , al ways found it ditfizult to in tke his egress. As she thus stood against a column which supported the entrance, Villeneuve had. a moSt favorable op portunity of scanning her figure, which he did with a practised and scrutiniz ing glance: fie was accustomed to Parisian a•id Eaglish beauty, and com paring Grace Blandford to the high born and high-brad beauties of the gild world, she certainly lost in tha co n parison. - She was very simply dress ed, her eves were downcast. and her features were in complete repose.— Still there was a quiet grace about her that pleased him—a blending of per fect shiplicity . and perfect refinement that was extraordinary. Mr. Bland.:' ford paused as he came down the aislj. He had noticed the young and inter esting lo 'king stranger, who listened 'with such dev.mt at'ention to all the exercises. al had heard, for in a country village.such things are rapidly communicated, that there was a trav eller at the inn, a foreigner and an in valid—two strong claims to sympathy and kindness. • The'pallid comp exiun of the young man was a sufficient in dication of the latter, and the air of hil ,l li - weeditif,r which distingui.'neU him t. - 1 a letter of reecmn-rtauda• =1 3 1 - i by Or. ti.!

"My daughter," said Mr Blandford, d•av-ing her hand .through his. arm.
