threw up the: window, and popped hur head
ont'into the dark night. It was 9 o'clock on
'New 'Year's eve'—the snow was fastly fal

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. mf own account and support a wife, to

ed Rosa, and from the street gazed upon its
walls. 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

'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

ued with a Sigh. "It is a fortnight since the

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

"It is high time that I should become

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

hour for mote viflanies than I have commit

"A 11 alone my Prince," whispered a voice
behind him. "I congratulate myself to find

and jewels. .
"Who are t'im mask V'

"Weil Count, what is it you desire?" {
Philip continued.
"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 ?". Philip
asked,'" • •
"Not mote than the brothers Goldsmith'
are inclined tb wait for the seventy-five thotu=.

"Very well. If they cannot wait I shall

"Do not take any desperate 'resoltitiotfs

.If what ?' asked Philip.. .
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.. I am only unx
ions to gain your favor."
"You are very good.".
"I may then hope, my !Ord ?" • .
"Count I shall do what is right, do your

"My duty, is to settle you. 'Po-morrow'
