It was 9 o'clock on 'New 'Year's eve'—the snow was fastly fal ' ling in huge flakes, reddened by the light from the windows in the streets of the city. She gazed for a long time at the merry , -groups'of people hurrying to and fro, thron ging.the'docrs of the brilliantly lighted shops • in search of New :Year presents—entering the coffee-ho Uses and wine -cellars, or has tening to [Muni's'. parties; and 'public balls, to' celebrate theftniprriage of the old year to 'the new, amid the joys and pleasures of ev. cry variety;orarriuseMent. But soine,.ritthe hiYge cold flakes having dropped' on. old' titOthei-Kate's nose, she t quick ly.d rew in itt rifiCti4and, shutting the windo*,•raid to her hnsband, , Gottlieb;lstaytit home to rondlet Phillip go out in yotiiilipe"; ,/ for if is snowing as fast as it tin, and you CtioArihe snow does .not agree with your old limb?. MMZMN=EZM!SEN= It looks as if there was a feast or a ball in every house, and Phillip will be delighted with the many fine - things he will see." Old Gottlieb nodded, and said, "I would be, very glad of that. My barometer, the old shot-wound in my knee, has 'warned me these two days that the weather was going to change. It is but just that the son should help his father in the duties which he is about to inherit." Old 'Gottlieb has Eileen in his younger days a sergeant in one of the regiments of his King, until in storming a battery, in which he was the foremost; he was crip pled by a shot. His Captain for this gal lant and successful charge, received a deco ration and promotion, but the poor, ser geant had to congratulate himself with hav ing escaped with hislife and a broken leg. Ile was, however, appointed to the office of watchman tvith his son for an assistant. The small salty of the two would not, how ever have sutfiped. for the family, had not Mother . Kate been an excellent house-keep er and very econotnical. Old Gottlieb was bersidesa real philosopher who could be hap py on the scanty incom - 04 his public salary and the scanty pittritice . .'Phillip earned in the employ of the pub'ic gardener, sufficed to render him comfortable also. Phillip was a fine looking young man of twenty-one, and when sent to take home bunches of flowers to the ladies, would of ten receive from them a liberal present. Mother. Kate had already thrown her shawls from her shoulders and was about to step to the garden to call her son when Phil lip came in. "Father," said he, shaking his hands with his parents "it is snowing, and the snow you know makes you suffer. Let me take your place to-night imd you go to your bed:" "And then, I've been thinking." cohtin uPd Phillip, that tomorrow is New Years, and I should like to be with you and have a real treat. Dear Mother, but you have not got a roast in the , kitchen—" . Well, not exactly, interrupted Mother Kate, "but we have a pound and a hallo(' beef, with po tatoes and rice, and laurel leaves for soup ; besides somebottles of beer. Come, Phil lip, we shall live well to-morrow. Next week the watchmen will divide their New Year's presents, and then we shall have good living." "So much the better for you. But have you your rent, yet f" anxiously enquired Phillip,. Old Gottlieb shrugged his shoulders. Phillip then placed a shin of money on the table, saying, "here are twenty-two flo rins, which you .may take for your. New- Year's present. Let us all three commence the New Year cheerfully and happy." Mother Kate's eyes were filled with tears but site was speechless. Old Gottlieb, chok ing with gratitude, said : "You are indeed, my boy, the consolation of your parents in their old age:. I wish you nothing for your new-year, but that you may keep your heart pure and good, for'that will be a hea ven in your bosom." After a pause, the old man resumed. "We have now received as much in all as three hundred and seventeen florins." "Dear child, L pity you," said Mother Kate, "if you had been able to keep that sum yourself, you might now buy a piece of land, • establish yourself as a gardener on your•otvn account, and marry the good Ro sa. Now that is impossible. But we are old, and you shall not have very long to support us." • "Mother;" answered Phillip, 'how you do Salk ?' I him Rosa as I do my own life ; yet I would• give a hundred Rosas for you and father. I cannot get other parents in this world, but I could find anotber Rosa, though not like Rosa Bittner." • "You are right, Phillip," said the old man, "there is no merit in making love and marrying; but honor and support aged pa rents is a noble duty and one of the highest of virtues." "But," said tho,otnother, "the girl may get tired of waiting, and change her mind; for Rosa is a beautiful girl, and though poor, she - would not lack foyers." "Be not afraid, mother." replied Phillip, "Rosa has vowed that she would not marry any one but me, and that is enough. • Nor has her old'mother any objection tqoar uni on, But if I could to-day exercise my trade on. mf own account and support a wife, to morrow I would lead her to the alter. -1 on ly regret that her old mother titoes not allow us to sec each other as often as'we please. • She says that would not do any g ood ; ',while. both Rosa and myself fi nd'that It does. us a great deal of good ; and "so we have, agreed to meet to-night at twelve, at the door of the While this conversation was going on Phillip was preparing himself to take his father's place on the vhitch.

Now and then he saw female fig-. ures flitting behind the windows, and his heart beat.quickly as he thought he saw Ro sa. When the figures dissappeared he stu died their gigantic shadows on the 'Wall, hop ing to discern which was Rosa,' and• what she was doing. To be sure it was not ve ry pleasant to be standing there in the cold storm; but what 'does a 'lover care for. frost and snow. Note.a-days watchmen arc as romantic loverS as slr ert3 formerly the gallant knights in romances and ballads. He did not feel the cold until the clock struck elev en, when he again 'commenced his rounds on the watch. His teeth were then chatter ing with cold. • He was scarcely able to call out the hour of the' night and , his horn. As he was going through a lonely *street, he met with a singular figure. It was a man in a black half-mask, wrapped up in a fine red silk cloak, and wearing on his head a round hatilwith.one side of the brim turn ed up, and fantastically ornamented with a profusion of waving feathers. Phillip was about to avoid the mask, when the latter stopped him and said : You are a most lovely fellow, you ! Where are you going? Tell me !' Phillip answered: 'To Maria street.' .1. must then go with you,' exclaimed the mask. But tell me, my lad, can you sing a song?' • Phillip, seeing that the , gentleman was a gay coinpanion,.answered ; 'Sir, better with a glass of wine in a Warm room than in the cold street where one's heart freezes in the body.' As Phillip pursued his beat, the mask accompanied him, and would insist on blow ing the watchman's horn at the various sta tions, and giving some merry songs. I.= hil lip supposing him to be some gentleman who had got overheated by wine, let him have his own way. • • • *Hark ye f young man said the mask, should like to be a watchman for a few hours. Give me your cloak and broad-brim med hat, and take my domino ; then go to the ale-house and warm yourself by the fire and wine at my expense, What say you Phillip at last‘consented, changed cns tomes, arid appointed to meet the stranger at the Church door, at twelve o'clock. Phillip, after having obtained the solemn promise of his'substitute that he would not disgrace his new calling, hurried away to the ale-house. On his way, be was touch ed by a masked person, who •had just got out of a carriage. Phillip' stopped. and in quired, in the fashion of masks, "What do you wish ?' • The. mask answered, .I)..:es not your roy al highness intend'— .What! royal highness ?' said Phillip, laughing "I am no highness. [low do you get that idea into your head ?' The mask bowed most respectfully, and, pointing to the diamond in Phillip's hat, said : "I beg your gracious pardon if I vio late the right of masks. But in whatever garment you may wrap yourself, your noble figure will always betray you. May'l ask whether your Lordship is going to dance ?' dance ! NO. • You see I am in boots.' "Then you will play ? the mask contin ued.' Still less ; I have got no money with me.' , My purse is at your lordships command, with all L am and have,' the mask exclaim ed, presenting, nt the same time, a full purse to the embarrassed watchman. .I.3ut do you know who E um ?' asked Phillip, pushing back the musk. The mask replied with a graceful bow : His royal highness, Prince Julian.' • At that, moment Phillip heard his substi tute in a neighboring street crying with a loud voice the hour of the night. He then understood the metamorphosis. Prince Ju- Haiti who was known in the city as it wild, amiable and talented young, man, had ex changed parts with. him. thought -'lf he plays - the part of a watch man with success-, I will not disgrace mine of a prince, and I will showthat I am cape. He or being a prince for ,half an hour. 'He then took the purse and put in his pocket, sayir'.g: 'Musk, who are you ? I will return you your money to morrow.' am the chamberlain Pilzou.' 'Very. well. Go on. I follow you.' The chamberlain obeyed t and flew up the rich marble steps. Philip quickly fol lowed. • They entered an immense saloon, lighted up with .a thousand wax candles, whose rays ware reflected by the numerous mirrors which covered the wails, and beau- Wally refracted by the candeliers hanging from the ceilings. A' gay throng of masks was moving before' him—there were Tyro lese girls, Papageno's, armed knights, nuns, pedlers , cupids, monks and Jews, Presians and Medes, in a metley. confusion. Phillip, felt for a while dazzled and stupefied. Never in his live had he seen such a show. ,It was likea 'dream. In the centre of the room, a hundred dancers of both sexes were swim 'ing in harmonious tv6iesof is, it, Entrain, you do not datTe, to night?"..4ll,4sji'eft the : chamberlain.

"Indeed, that is the first I have heard of "My. God ! you, do not know r The whole capital is full of it," the clAmberlain contin ued with a Sigh. "It is a fortnight since the rupture took place. Nor does.she ever aP low me to defend myself. She sent me bank three letters without opening them." "Well, Bmmin, the generaljoy reconciles every one. Let us try the countess." "There she is, the Carmelite. She has taken off her mask. Speak a word in lily favor." "My countess," stammered Philip, much embarrassed, as she turned her full clear eyes upon him. "Prince," said the countess, "you were nn hour ago almost too waggish." "My fair countess, I am the more serious now." "So much the better, Prince ;Alen I shall not have to ran away." "Fair lady, allow tue but one qilestion.— Are you doing penance for your sins in that garment." • "I have nothing to repent of." "You forget,countess, your cruelties your injustice towards the dear Bratnin who is standing yonder alone." She cast down her eyes and appeared dish turbed. - "Do you know, fair countess!, that the chamberlain is as innocent of the occurenCe at AleAywood as myself." "Do you, my lord," said the countess, with a slight frown, "forget what you told, me an .hour ago?" "You 'are right, dear countess ; IWas too fro as you say yourself. But now I as , sure you, the chamberlain went to Merry.. wood by the order of the queen mother.— Lle went against his will ; against his will he had to escort the baroness, whom he hates—" "Whom lie hates !" the countess exclaini ed, with a bitter smile. "Yes he hates and despises her. Believe me, he has.passed almost the boundaries of g' 'l breeding towards- her." "No more," whispered the Carmelite, with a more cheerful countenance: "We are observed. Let us go from here !" She put on her mask, and took the arm of the supposed Prince. They, went up the hall and into a side-room, where they were alone. [Jere the countess made bitter coin 7 plaints against the chamberlain ; but they were only complaints of jealous love. As she wiped a tear front her eye, the Bratuin entered. A deep silence ensued, which Philip interrupted by leading the chamberlain to the Carmelite. and placing his hand in hers, without saying a word re turned to the dance, Soon he had the pleasure of seeing the Chamberlain and the Countess all smiling joined tog•:ther in the dance. I'hiliplaugh ed in his sleeve, thought of his substitute, and. wondered how he got along. At this moment the Chamberlain approach* him and said : "Prince, I can never repay the debt of gratitude I owe you. You have effected a reconcilation between me and my wife.— We have resolved to return to-night to our estate in the country.. Fare-you-well, my life is at your service. "I3ut this purse ? What am Ito do with this ?" asked Philip. "That is the sum, you recollect I borrow ed of you last .week. I had almost forgot ten to return it. The draft is addressed to your Royal Highness." .With these words he departed. Philip read it over and Saw that it was for five thousand florins. He put hitt his pock et. and thought what a fine thing it would be to be a Prince in reality. . At that very moment some one whisper ed in his ear. "Royal highness, we are both betrayed, I shall shoot myself." Phil ip turned round with amazenienti and saw a negro. "What do you Want, mask ?" Philip quick ly, asked. "I am Colonel Cold," the negro unswei ed,.in a low voice. "The unlucky Wife of the Chamberlaid has betrayed us to Duke Hermann, who vomits fire and flame against your lordship and myself." "I do not care," replied Philip. "But the king will know all!" the neva continued; with an anxious sigh. ; "Per , haps I shall be, arrested this very night, and be sent to a fortress to-morrow. I would rath er hang myself!" "That will not help you much," said Philip. • .7 . But shall I expose myself to a life-long shame? lam lost! 7 The Duke will ask a bloody satisfiction. His back is certainly still black with the blows I ; administered to him. I ambigua, well .the 'lather's diugh 'ter..

"It is high time that I should become again a watchman," thought Philip "•I art? involving Myself and my substitute in diffi-^ culties out of which neither hiS or my Wis- , dont can extricate either of tis. What a difference between a Watchman and a prince! I would not wave my hand to be a prince. Good heaven, how many things happen among the great of earth of which we do not dream among our watchman's horns, our looms, spades and lasts.! We have fancied that the lords of earth were like to the an gels, without sin and without cares. Yet I have had to settle here in a quarter of an hour for mote viflanies than I have commit ted during my whole life." "A 11 alone my Prince," whispered a voice behind him.

"May I.speak of the house of Abraham Levi ?" the secretary asked. As much as you choose," replied indifferently. "He has applied to me fo'r the fifty thou sand florins you otte them. They threaten to apply to the king, and you remember the promise you made the king as he ordered your last debts to be paid ?" .Cannot these people wait ?".

The Secretary then pxplained that the house of Abraham Lai had made - large pulchases of grain, and if the Prince could induce the King to cause the prohibition of any import of this article, the price would thus be greatly enhanced, and this house would pay Off the debts of the Prince, and give him fifty thousand florins in addition. "I beg you gracious desire to knot Wheth er I shall thus pay 'your debts ?" asked the obsequious secretary. "No, never !" —at the expense of hun dreds and thousands of hungry families,' said Philip. "Your royal highness forgets that it is at the east of the house of Abraham Levi ; and if I forced this firm to give you fifty thousand florins cash besides the receipts of your debts, I think it might be done. The firm gains by his single business as much as that ?" • "Probably yourself, count, might get a handsome douceur." "Your royal highness is pleased to joke. I do not gain anything by it..
