The doctor poured Inte a small bottle bis chemical preparation, a bue liquid which produced a sweet perfume; he threw his dark , mantle ever bis disordered clothes, and left his laboratory, holding In his hand bis pro pre pro cleus vial, carefully wrapped in the folds of his mantle, te hide it from the curiosity of ethers, or te prcscrve It from the accidents of a long and rapid walk. It is twenty minutes' fast walking from the Quill de 1'IIorlege te tbe Uue des Tournellc j in twenty minutes tbe doctor bad readied his . destination. IIe stepped befere a large nnd liandsome hotel; the walls that surrounded Uie courtyard wcre high and thick, the deer solid and bordered with Iren a precaution net te be forgotten for nil this took plnce In December, 1M4, duilng tbe reign of King Henry the Third. He knocked, and from behind n barred s window a servant recognized aud admitted J him. "Alas! Sir Euder," sad n man of nbeut CO years of age, "I have but very little hope" The doctor hardly restrained a smile, but the old man did net percolve It bis eyes were filled with tears, "Yeu must net glve up entirely, M. I f Comsto; nature and science hat e se many re sources'." Thcse consoling words wcre ut tered in n sneering manner, and tbe count continued te weep. Euder shrugged his boulders as if the husband's grief struck him as absurd or ridiculous. Without adding a word, ha drew aside, a covering of thick tapestry, and enteral a large and somber apartment. Tbe count followed him, - -It was tbe patient' room. In the back ground, turroueded by curtains, steed the bed. Tbe doctor approached and motioned te the count te op a the window. The lieau tlful face of a female then became vlslble; suffering had scarcely altered her delicate and perfect features. Her sweat face was, Indeed, pale, and beneath her teug black eye eyo oye lashes was a small blue clrcle but who would net hare preferred her appearance, ill as sh was, te the most blooming beauty! Euder gazed fixedly at her. The count threw himself en the feet of the bed and fixed' his eyes en the doctor, who, wrapped ty in his own meditations, thought neither et encouraging nor discouraging htm. After a few moments of silence, Euder gently lifted the ceverlid and took the arm of the patient te feel her pulse. A shudder Indicated that the countess wnt en the point et waking; the doctor looked anxiously around. "The crisis will take place w ben she n wakes j the least emotion may preve fatal. Yeu must retlre, sir." "I will hlde behind this curtalu," said th count. "I de se Ions te cee her open her yes." "Really," said Euder, with a dUdalnf ul and angry smlle. "Well, count, enjoy that pleasure, and risk your wlfe'u llfe for such a mlserable satisfaction." The count, after n moment's hesitation, gave in; the doctor premised te call Mm ai seen as possible), A flash of Jey brightened the features of the young man wheu he found himself alone In the room, and hU coutitvnance, uulmatcd by strong emotion, appeared singularly beautiful. He no longer stepped te gaze ; but, kneeling by the bedside, he covered with ardent kisses the hand et the young weinau he fondly passed his fingers through the light and dishevelled curls, nnd even dared te press her burnlug and parched llpe. "Oh I" exclaimed be as he gazed at her, "Hew much ceurage is necessary I Hut 1 will have it; and In n few hours five ye- i of anguish and labor will be rewarded." These last words aivole the countess. Tbe doctor did net changehls posture; h remained en his knees, nnd still held the pa tient's hand; she turned her beautiful eyes toward him and started Ith mingled sur prise, fear and joy. There was a moment of silence. Neither one nor the ether spoke. Perhaps they were afraid that a word might end their happiness, which seemed llke a dream. "Emma," said Euder, "we nre alone, alena for ene hour. This is the first time since 1 have attended you; it is the first tlme In live years." The emotion of tbe countess provcuted her answering except by team. "I will net tell you," continued Euder, "all the difficulty it has occasioned me te get Inte your dwelling; still my title of doctor is nut a disguise I vi as a student, you remember, when I saw you for the fli st time. What a recollection I' The countess pressed tlieJiand-.lltfdjbeld, hers, and rained her eyes te heat en. """" "(Since then, Enia but 1 bae mIUics-aeJ our struggles, j our tears, your resistance, and I reproach jeu with but one thing te have thought 1 had forgotten you, because I no longer sought your presence" "And hy," continued Euder, ebemently, "why should I havesougbtyeul Itnasbetli tee seen and tee late, lie&idis, I needed boll bell tude and modltatlen te conquer a deep seated sorrow and te perfect a great plan a dllll cult, bold aud deci&h e enterprise.

"Ah, it Uclcar enough we were net made for one another; we ha e net the same n ay of lov ing.

"Yes," sold she, "I own it, I felt, I de net knew why, my heart sink; buttny couregols returning.

"Well, then," said Euder, disengaging his hand; "let the will of heaven he done!" He retreated a few steps, and concealing himself licbind the curtains, he drew from his besom the vial he had placed there en entering! An Instant mere, and he calmly presented te Emma a cup filled te the very brim with the blue liquid. "What feri" said sbe; "will It prolong my Hfel" "Ne," replied Euder. "Well, then why must I take another bitter notion"' "This one is net bitter, Emma; nnd If it cannot conquer your fever, it will, at least, wive you from all sufferings in your last fo ments." The countess put the cup te her llja, and, while sbe slowly drank it, Euder con tinued! "Yeu will sleep ns If after a ball, quietly rocked with tbe sounds et snect music, jour fleweis and your di ess befere your eyes." "Yes," replied tbe counters, returning te him the empty cup, "yes, all my happy recol lections will assist inn. at this moment, since you nre there, you with whom nil the joys nud plcasure of my past llfe are connected." One hour had aied, mid ecr tlnce sbe bad taken EudesVs prescription the countess had leen hopelessly weak. She asked for the consolations et religion.

Her last leek, her last prayer, her last sigh were for the only ene sbe had ever lored, and deaVtyfeized his prey. Did Euder display grief at her mournful end! r f'Tle gazed nt her calmly; but new nud then, ns If te quiet eoiiie iinporluue thought, he repeated i "Sbe wished te dle. The worst can only be that her wish hns been granted." He called the count and led him te the bed. "Yeu are the person te clese her eyes." The despair of the old man was heart rend ing. He fell senseless by tbe body of his w Ife. When the count was ceme from the cham ber Eudjr returned te the bedside. He tunned te feel nil exquUlte plcasure In watch ing the body. The closed eyes, tbe Mlffenal ll'tibs, the features ence te beautiful, new pale and sunken. He gazed and murmured wlthnsmtlei " 'TIs right, no breath, no llfe cold rigid -dead." The room seen tilled with domestics, nil with tears Iu their eyes and grief ut their hearts and en their lips; nil prayed for the soul of the deceased tJie will go sttaigbtte paradise, said they, she was se geed. "Without reckoning that she had her pur gatory In this world," half murmured the doctor, who alone did net bend bU knee or Dray for her who had died. There was In the room an old relation. Euder addressed hen "Sbe must lie burled as coon as essIble," said he; "her disease lscontngieus, nnd if you wait mero than two hours, your lives will nil be in danger." Halt frightened te death, tbe old woman gave her orders, the church lielU ltegan te tell, tbe cresses weie rnled, the lights prepared, the rooms hung w Ith mourn ing, aud slowly the funeral pnxestlen cume f i em the church. The body had been dressed In her Imndsom Imndsem ckt garments a dress of brocade with n pearl necklace, rich loco around tbe neck, and her feet covered with stocilngsef silk and geld, and shoes of white civet, "it Is her bridal dress," said soaie ene te Euder, "That Is right, for the same occasion, tame dress." The coffin was there, but the counters was still en ber lictL The old aunt approached, suksers In hand. One would bave thought her the representative of fate severing the thread of life. A golden tress was already lietweeu the Instrument Euder rushed for ward. "Arojeumadf De you wish te Jein her! This hair, still wet with the death sweat, bears alie seeds of death, ix-ave It alone, or rutlicr, think et burning the bed, the gar ments, all that sbe touched. Hellcs, indeed I remember her words and her deeds." Ha then placed it In tbe ceIIln; four men lifted It en their shoulders, and the funeral pi ocussien moved. At church the service for the deal was per formed, a long and Bad service composed of cold aud gr&ve words, aud et solemn and melancholy chants. A priest then gave a sponge, dipped lu holy w titer te each et the mourners, the assistants one by ene sprinkled the coffin, and, wet with this kacred iew, It was taken te the tomb. Thive hours bad elapsed clnce the last cere monies had been performed, nnd the cbutv'it presented a striking nml Imposing hcoiie, cal culated te impress ou weak and wavering minds the terrors of religion. The rays of tbe moon stilklng en the painted window panes threw strange figures ecr the white and lefty walls, while the different effects et light nud sluulew gave te tbe Images of the saints a fantastic and unusual apearaiice. The altar was still hung with black, In the middle, of tbe church yet steed, covered e it with black cloth sprigged with silver, tbe steels en which the cellln had been placed, and from the pillars around still hung the escutcheons of the late countess. It was a solemn sjK-ctacle, and occasionally the moon, hidden by a cleud.sleft tbe whole In dark ness, which was only relloved by the flicker ing nud uncertain Cante of the lights around the altar. Suddenly a slight nolse was heard, a foot step, a man carrying n lantern ami long ex tlnguUher appeared. It was the sexton. He went his reuuds In silence, and as lie returned suddenly drepjied his extinguisher aud uttered n loud exclamation. Tbe cause of his tut prle and nITi Ight was a man leaning against a pillar, immovable, and te weak, se suffering, that aptwrcutly be had net strength enough te drag him from the church whiu the lest bell hail tolled; Ids dry und sunken eyes wcre fixed en the face of the sexton, and his right band supported bis aching breV "Bountiful pievidencs, is it n ghost!" said JIflitre Arnoux, the sexton, and as he pro nounced these words he let liU lantern shine full uiwn tbe etraugcr. ' "What are you doing here, sir !" Slid he, when ha found he bad te deal, net with a ghost, hut with a young aud haudiome man. "The church is closed," The person te w horn theso words w ere ad dressed, answered only by n half suppressed groan; his limbs gat e way, nud be fell en the pat ement. "May my geed saint, St. Antheny, help me," exclaimed llaitre Arnoux; " w hat urn I te de with this man I 1 crily believe he Is half dead." As he uttered thew words, he shook him violently by the sleet e; nnd filling Ills hands with holy water, bathed his Uinples. Tl.e j eung man opened bis ey es. "Inrat cry weak Indeed," said be, In a low and faltcrlug volce. "Jly sufferings bate overwhelmed me, Ila e y ou no cor dial, toedmanl" "1 have but one," replied the sexton, "w hlch is excellent for recalling oue te sense geed whie." "Yes, I think a little wine might restore "Well, theu, my friend, you must crawl up te my cell; for it would be offending ti saints tu drluk here." Assisted til' Arnoux. the venne mew reacnea little aoer teat opened into tbe church, and, having ascended a winding staircase, found himself In the rooms et the rexten, who Immediately poured out soma wine for him, "Well, friend, de yen feel Iwttcr newP ".Much, much better," replied Euder, while bis companion cmptled a large glass. "True "Burgundy," exclaimed Arnoux, striking tbe table with the cup ha had just cmptled. The cups wero again filled; but ene merely raised bis te his lips, while tbe ether threw himself back, and scrupulously swallowed the last drop et the nectar. "His excellency the archdeacon does net drluk any te cempare te It," exclaimed the roxten In his bacchanalian enthusiasm; "I will tell you the whole story." Euder llsteLud with impci turbable sang froid te all the stories of his companion, which became mera and mere obscure after every cupful. The enormous face of the sex ton sbone with a color of .tbe brightest red; Ids eyes wandered; he smlled stupidly. At last, after emptying his cup for the thirteenth time (fatal number), the joyous drinker burst Inte a loud fit of laughter, threw back bis head and stretched his cramped legs. This motion was tee rapid; his feet slipped en the fleer and be fell flat, The doctor immediately sprang en him, ns a deg en the wild liear Just wounded by the hunter's hall; quickly and silently he drew from the roxten's belt a bunch of keys, seized bis lantern, cleared with ene jump tbe wind ing stolrceso and found himself in tbe church. The deer opened; Euder was in the damp repository of the dead. Amidst all the splen did monuments there was one place where the earth had been newly turned up and a wreath of flowers thrown ever It. That was It Euder pushed oslde the wreath and dug away at the last resting place. The cefllu appeared; tbe lid was broken, and ence mero lie contemplated his victim. At this Instant the clock struck; the doctor counted the slowly proceeding strokes with terror he counted ten. "Weill 'Oppertimum KMtduodeclm boras memeultum permane nt,' Thore is still plenty of time." Having pronounced thcse mysterious words he raised the cerpse as carefully as it It hed been a sleeping woman he was afraid of dis turbing, and laid it en bis cloak. The celli n was empty, but n ben tbe monument would be finished tbey would find it lightened of its contents, and what might then be suspected) A few years befere a horrible profanation hed taken place. A young and beautiful girl having died, was buried, and the uext day her body disappeared. It was afterward known that tbe lever of the young girl had stolen tbe cerpse nnd embalmed It. The Seuug man was burnt allve en the Place ds ireve. The grat e must lie filled. The coffin tmut hnveltswclgbt. Euder threw in tt the statue et a taint, worm eaten nnd abandoned, nnd carefully nailing it up ence inure, placed it under ground, Euder then bent ever the body of the coun ceun tcMf, and after nn anxious examination raised It In his arms nnd left the church yard, nnd through dark nnd out of the way streets, at length reached his dwelling. In 10)1, sevcuteen yenrsufter this adven ture, n duil took place ene night en the Qua! de 1'IIorlegc, between the Chevalier de Cora Cera tnlnges und the young Mntquls de Jnqucs.

Te tlits end; as we cannot all rebuild our houses, we break the long rpaces by the lilieral hse of screens nnd portiere, and make of vacant turners tbe most tempting, cozy nooks Im aginable. The Idea is a pleating one, nnd It Is te 1)0 hoped that It will net pros e n mere pawing fancy, One of the simplest of thee arrange ment, nnd one which nn Ingenious woman may accomplish without help from the car penter, consists of te large cushions stuffed with excelsior; they should be from n yard and a quarter te two yards square, and nt least a feet and a half thick.
