He had a back room in the top of a noipy lodging houfo, where he slept nu'iits and munched lus menls of bread and cheese or Bologna sausage when ho could allord it and from whence he crept, as harmless and unnoticed as a fly, down the corner of a dingy street, to the little music shop of Carl lirettman, a Ucrman settler. There he tinkered all day on broken violins and other musical iustrumonts, never absenting himself for a niomcnt, save on Saturday afternoon, when he went to the house of a small trades man to teach the piano to three or four very ftnpid girls. 8uuda)'s ho curled up in lus den, and amused him self, nobody knew how, until Monday morning. There are a few certainties. He never went td church, but he picked ragged children from the pavement when they fell near him, and gave them half-pennies when he had any ; shared his dinner often with a mangy, dirty cur, who acted as a sort of es cape-valve for the ill-temper oi half the men and women in the street, and he roused I'at Ryan from his midnight snooze in the gutter many a cold night and literally carried him home to Norah and tho children. As for his honedty, n neighbor re marked, "If he found five shilling in the street, he'd year out ten shillings worth oi strength and shoe-leather to find the owner." One cold night Paul was returning from his work, with a loaf of bread under one arm and a violin under the other, when at the street loor he stum bled and nearly fell over a small ob ject crouched on the step. "Bless us ! what's this?" cried Pnul, striving to regain his equilibrium. "Only mo, sir I and the small ob ject stood up, and became a very pale, t It i it and ragged child. "Are you hurt, little girl?" "No, sir." "What are you do:ng out horo in tho cold?" "Nothing." "Why don't you go home?" "I ain't got any." "Dear me! Where's your mother?" "In heaven !" At this Paul was dumfounded, and seeing that great tears were stealing down tho child's whu face, ho thrust tho violin under the arm which held the bread,- aud putting tho other around the tiny figure, he said : "Oil I I've got a home a real jolly place! Come up and see!" And this is the way old Paul came to have a neat little housekeeper, and to be buying gowns and shoes out of his poor salary. xuo winter or 100-came in like a lion, as many a poor wretch well re meinberj, and with the first blast came Paul's enemy. -He turned one night a sad face from bis warm corner in Brettman's shop among tho violins, and hobbled up tho cold street, feeling tho approach of the old rheumatic pains, and wondering what would be come of his poor little Camilla. His excitement carried him tip to his last flight of stairs, aud heariug Camilla's voice, he paused to rest and to listen. She was singing in that sweet aud expressive manner which made her voice seem to him the sweet est and purest he had ever heard. At the end of the stanza she took breath, and auothet voice said, "Child, you astonish me. Either I am a poor judge of niusio or else your voice is the finest ' I ever heard. You are right in preferring it to anything else." An electric thrill shot through old Paul's frame and quickened his blood to a rapidity that quite carried away bis rheumatic pains, and in a twink ling he was ul the stairs and in his little attio. He was terrified at the sound of a mau's voice, but the sight of a hand some and polibbed gentleman, with diamond studs in his snowy linen, a hevy ring upon his dainty white hand, unquestionable broadcloth upon his hack, in close conversation with his Camilla, whose wondrous beauty had of late startled even his dull per ception, was more than Paul could bear. Ho was a very small man had been in his youth and now that Time's withering fingers had touched him, he was shriveled and dried like withered fruit; but in his virtuous indignation ha puffed up to his fullest extent, and in his falsetto voice piped : "Camilla, how dare you invite any one here?" "Oh, Uncle Paul ! this is Mr. Cla verinp, a gentleman whose whose " "Whoso mother she saved from death. Your niece, sir, ' a few d&y since, was passing through, our crowd ed thoroughfare, when my mother's earringo drew up to tho pavenect. The horses were restive, and bidding the driver attend to Ibeu), sho boau JUNK 28, 187G. to descend unassisted. Ifer foot was on the step, when the animals sprang and flung her violently from her foot hold. But for the suddon act of your niece, who received my mother in her strong young arms, the fall might have proved a fatal one. My mother at once entered a shop, and keeping your niece near her, sent tor mo. I came to-day, tt my mother's earnest request, to express pur heartfelt gati tude, and to offer " "You needn't ofer Camilla a penny, sir. She will never suffer while I've a pair of hands to work for her," said i'atil. "You mistake me. I do not wish to insult you, but would raise this child from her poverty and educate her, that she might be of use to you aud to herself, and besoms a refined woman. Don't let your selfish love stand in her light, and shut it out from her. She sings like a prima donna, and wishes to study music." - The great lustrous eves of the child turned imploringly to her guardian. . "Lor', Camilla, I can't stand in your way. I know you're every bit a bora lady, if your poor forsaken mother did die in a hovel among wretche3 who turned her child into the cold as soon as tho breath had left her body ; but, deary mc, I can't part with you.V "And you shall not. Let me savo my lirllo Camilla, and she shall never leave you, but prove a blessing to you in your old ge." Paul could say nothing, and the strauge visitor departed, with no fur ther injury to his darling thau an elo quent glance from an expressive pair of eyes. Day after day Camilla went with her books to the teacher so straugely provided; and after a 1 tile time there came days when vai,;-s paused to listen to tho warbling sf tho rich young ynice. When she had been therosix months, she entered one morning to find Mrs. Claveriug iu the music-master's room. "What do you intend to do -with your famous pupil?" said her soft voice. "Madame, Camilla is capable of doing anything in a musical way. She will be a songstress of whom this country will be proud. Ah, here she is !" "You have improved wonderfully, my child," said the lady, holding out her gloved hand. "I camo to bring you Richard's farewell. He leaves to-night, and will remain abroad for many years. Here is a little gift as a token of remembrance." She did not understand that Mrs. Claveriug had placed a pretty neck lace of coral in . her hand, and then gathered up her shawl and departed; but when her teacher spoke she cried out as in mortal pain, and, without a word, flew dowa the street toward home. As sho turned the corner she rushed pell-mell into the nrms of a gentleman, who, on seeing her pale and tearful, said : "Why, little Camilla, what is the matter?" "Oh, Mr. Claveriug you are going away !" . " Richard Clavering's fino face grew sad and expressive as the tearful eyes looked into his own, and for the first time he comprehended that Le was a young man, and that his protege was stealing from childhood into beautiful girlhood, and was undeniably a beauty. "Camilla, I am going away, but will vou wait for my return?" "Wait for you? I am not going to run away !" "You do not comprehend me. Well, it is better so. Perhaps two years later you may understand me. Good bye, Camilla. Kiss me good-bye." It was a very quiet street, and so Camilla lifted her head and kissed him. In all probability the 'child would have kissed him in. the main thoroughfare as there, and I only mention the fact of the street being a quiet one to silence the startled pro priety of those who are shocked at the puhlisity of it. Well, there they parted. He to go over the sea, she to remain at home and improve the opportunities ho had placed before her. II... Tho great heart of tho music loving publio was agitated with mingled emotions of joy, pride, astonishment and awe. A new songstress had been criticised, picked over piecemeal, ground down to the finest point, dis sected, examined through tho moBt perfect musical microscope, and pro nounced perfect. And now the mana ger of a first-class, fashion-patronized theater had engaged her for a singlo night at an almost fabulous sum, and the Vorld was to hear her voice. 1'he uight came. The theater was crowded, from pit tu roof. The orches tra pealed furta a graud overture, t'oo expectant crowd filled the air with pci fume, aud soft murmurs of whisper ing voices aud rustling silkd aroso in $2 Ym ANNUM. a subdued sound : and then the broad curtain rolled up and disclosed tbe elegantly fitted stage. Suddenly there was a IhibIi in the! vast building, and eyes grew bright with eager anticipation as from the wing came the debutante. A tall, graceful girl, with gleaming shoulders, and white, perfectly-shaped arms, with a crown of purple black hair upon the regal head, with great dark eyes scanning tho crowd, and then, with almost childish shyness, veiling them beneath the long lashes; a mouth, soft, tender and beautiful, and cheek as fair as the pure white satin of her sweeping robe ; and they had seen the long-talked of and high ly praised beauty. A roar like the rushing of distant waters sounded in her ears, and then swelled into a thUnder of applause, and coming slowly down in the splen dor of tho footlights, her beautiful head erect, her eyes glowiug with ex citement, her beauty enhanced by the elegance of her costume, Camilla, the poor little waif, the child of poor old Paul Smith, the protege of proud Rich ard Clavering, received tho homage of the assembled crowd. When the acclamations had ceased, the orchestra began a soft symphony, and then through the building echoed tLts clear, pure notes of a voice that sounded far away, a dreamy, mystic voice, full of hope, of doubt, of pain. Nearer, still nearer it sounded, and hope.had drowned the doubts, but a plaintive sorrow seemed to remain. It came nearer, and the sorrow was a half-expectant, trembling glimpse of something better ; and then suddenly the strangd voice broke forth in a tri umphal strain, and listeners held their breath as the wondrous notes rang out upon the air, and then died away. For a moment a deathly silence reigned, but it was for a moment only, and then the buildiug vibrated w'ith a crash of enthusiasm that came from the music-crazed audience. Men arose iu their seats, and hundreds flung their floral tributes at her feet. In one of the boxes, above the one where the musie-master and manager sat, and old, odd-looking man waved his handkerchief and cheered, with great tears falling down his wrinkled cheeks; and Camilla looked up to that one box, aud gave him the only smile that crossed her lips during the uight. But at length the curtain fell, and Camilla, weary and worn, went up to the dressing-room. Some one stood in the shadow of a side-scene, and when she asked permission to pass, caught her by the bands and drew her out into tho light. "Camilla, little Camilla, is it you ? Have I been listening to my little girl all this glorious evening? Speak to me. I am bewildered and blind." "Mr." Clavering, when did you come? Oh ! I am so glad, so very happy I" she exclaimed. "Are you glad ? Aro you happy ? Ohl is this my welcome? Have you waited for me, 'my love, my darling?" She put her hands over her eyes, mourning. "You do not mean your words! I am dreaming! I am mad!" "You are here, wide awake, Camilla, and I am asking you to love me, and to bo my wife." She drew him away for a brief mo ment, and laid her weary head within his arms. Then she passed on to her dressing-room, and when she returned, she put out her bands, saying: "Oli, Richard, take me away! I am soul sick of. all this." "And yt will only sing" " "In your nest. Come, we muftt not forget Undo Paul, lie is waiting in the box for me." v The box was near at banc!, and in a moment they stood near the door. It was ajar, and Richard pushed it open to allow Camilla to enter, and saw tho old man silting iu one of tho luxu rious chairs, big head lying back upon the soft cushions, and his hands peace fully folded. "Uncle Paul!" cried Camilla. "Why, you naughty boy, you are fast asleep 1 Come, it is time to go home. Ah!" She started back with a cry, for the hand she touched was icy cold, and fell back, stiff aud helpless.' , "Cauiiila, darling, come away; I will attend to him." "Oh, Richard !" "Hush, love; he is beyond us now. Thoso stinins of mutio have carried him to heaven, from whence they came." The poor old man was dead. With the consummation of his heart's wish, his quiet, unpretending, uuofleudiug life had passed into the new existence. There were large growls iu the music- loving world, but nothing ever came of them, for Kichard Claveriug removed tticic singing bird so deftly that low know tho cuuse of her flight, and now she sines only to him, aud to her brood of young Claveriugs.
