Bat whatever the Dame of the *filiation she had undergone, the traces it bad left were deeply and strikingly visible is every pert of her fee. Her cheeks had lost their mandates and their natural color, her lips, singularly flexible is movement and delicate io form, hod faded to as unhealthy paleness; her eyes, large and black and overshadowed by unusually thick lashes, had contracted a strangely melon.. startled look, which never left them, turf which piteously ex pressed the painful acuteness of tier sensibility, the inherent timidity of her dispesitioe. So far the, marks wbioh sorrow or mess had set on her, were the marks ammo° to most v ictims o f mental or physical suffering. The one extraor dinary personal deterioration which she had tin• dergriee, consisted in the unnatural change that bad passed over the color of her hair. It was as thick and soft, it grew as graciefally, as the hair of a young girl: but it was as gray as the bairof an old woman. It seemed to isontradiet, in the most startling manner, every personal assertion of youth that still *misted in her (see. With all its haggardness and paleness, no one could have looked at it and supposed Ice a moment that it was the fare of an elderly woman. Wan as they might be, there was not a wrinkle in her cheeks.

From the eyes upwards, the effect of her abundant grey hair; seen in eon. qfiction with her face, was net simply incougru ous—it was absolutely startling en startling as to make it no paradox to say that she would have looked most natural, most like herself, if her hair had been dyed. In he eye, Art would have seemed to be' the truth, because Nature looked like falsehood. Whist shock had stricken her hair, in the very maturity of its luxuriance, with the hue of an unnatural old age?

Joseph, who, like the other servants, -secretly distrusted and disliked her for differing from the ,liitkary pattern (within his I experience) of profeasioual ladies' =Aida, was on this particular occasion, so subdued by her map' tier and her tone as she thanked him, that he I offered ti carry her candle for her to the door of j her mistress's bed chamber She shook her head and than tad him again, and then passed before hire quickly on her way out of the gal- lery. The room in which Mrs Treverton lay dying, was on the floor beneath. Barak hesitated twice, before she knocked at the door. It was opened by Captain Treverton The instant she saw her master, she started I back from him If she bad dreaded a blow, she could hardly have drawn away more suddenly, or with an expression of greater alarm. There was nothing in Captain Treverton's face to war. rant the suspicion of ill treatment, or even of harsh words. His countenasee was kind, hearty, and open; and the tears were still trickling down it, which be had shed by his wife's bedside. "Go in," be said, turning away his face. "She does not want the nurse to attend; she only wishes for you. Call me, if the doetor--" His voice faltered, and he harried away without attempt ing to finish the sentence. Sarah Leeson, instead of tutoring her mistress's room, stood looking after her master attentively, as long as be was to sight, with her pale cheeks turned to a deathly whiteness—with an eager, doubting, queetioisieg terror in her eyes. When ha had disappeared round the corner of the gal. levy, she listened for a moment ontaide the door of the sick room—whispered affrightedly to her self—" Can she have told hito!"—then opened the door, with a visible affect to reeover her self control; and, after lingering suspiciously _on the threshold for a moment, went is. Mrs. Treverton's bediatiamber was a larg e , lofty room, situated is the western front of the house, and eoasequently overlooking the sea view. The night light burning by the bed side, displayed rather than dispelled the darkness io ' the corners of the room. The bed was of the old fashioned pattern, with busy banging. and thick curtains drawn all round it. Of the other objects in the chamber, only the. of the largest and most solid kind were rumisent enough to be tolerably visible the dim light. The cabinets, the wardrobe, the fell length looking glass, the high backed arm their, theft with the great shapeless bulk of the bed heel', towered up heavily and gloomily into view. Other object, were all merged together in the general obscuri ty. Through the open iviodow—opened to ad mit the fresh air of tritium morning after the sultriness of the Amgen night—there poured into the rya the dull, btill, distan.roaring of the serf on the sandy Poet. All outer noises fibi were bushed at tbat- dark hour of the day !aside the room the no audible sound was the .l. w, toilioul.- brestbi of the dying women. r a i s i n g it.ell in its ow 1 frailness, awfully and diminetly, roes thr..o the far thunder breath lag f ro m the bosom obe everlasting BOW tt 11 i ll at i on: ' 4114 sid AIN Leeson, starting el.i.ie to the curtains, bat a# redrawing them—"m , master bas left the ribui, and has sent me Lre in hi* race " .?

The slight marks of Hindi in her face, the inevitable changes in the grace and rowan'a o f its outline, were rendered hardly noticeable by the marvellous preservation of her complexion to all the light, the delicacy, the brilliancy of its first girlish beauty. There lay her 'face on the pillow—tenderly framcd in by the rich lees of tier cap, softly ermined by her shining black hair —to all outward appearance the face of a beauti ful woman recovering from a slight illness, or repowng after unusual fatigue Even Sarah Leceon, who had watched bee all through her malady, could hardly believe, as she looked at her mistress now, that the Gales of Life bad closed behind her, and that the beckoning hand of Death was signing to her already from the Gates of the Grave. Solna dogs'•eared books its paper coven lay on the counterpane of the bed. As soon as the curtain was drawn aside, Mrs. Treverton ordered ber attendant by a gesture to remove them. They were plays, undereeored in certain places by ink lines and marked with marginal annotations re ferring to entrances, exits, and places, on the 'cage. The servants, talking down }}Cain of there mistress's occupation before her ,Marriage, had not been misled by false reports. Their master, after be bad passed the prime of life, bad, in very truth, taken his wile from the obscure stage of a country theatre, whoa little more than two years had elapsed Matte her first appearance in public. The dogs'•esened old plays bad been once ber treasured dramatic library; she had al ways retained a fondness for them from eld woo siatioos; sad during the latter part of her ill , nem, they bed remained on her bed for days and days together. Having pat away the plays, Sarah went beck to her mistress; and with more of dread and be wilderment in ber face they grief, opened her lips to speak Mrs Treverton held up her hand, as a sign that she had another order to give: " Bolt the door," she said, in the sato, en feebled vnic.., but with the same accent of reso lution 'bleb had so strikingly marked her first request to have more light in the room. "Bolt the, door. Let no one in, till I give you leave." "No one?" repeated Sarah, faintly. "Not the doctor? Dot even my master?" " Not the doctor. Not even your master," said Mrs Treverton, and pointed to the door.— The hand was weak; but even in that momentary option of it, there was no mistaking the action t Nang INktu tt. beside, flied her large, eager, startled eyes inquiringly on her mistress's face, and, suddenly tr'nding over her, said in a whisper: " Have you told my master?" N sta.' the ao.wer " I sent fortin, to telt him—l tried hard to speak the trunk It 440• k me to my very soul, Sarah, only to think how should best break it to him—l am ro fond of bun! I love him so dearly! But I should have spolteo in spite of that, if he bad trot talk. ed of the child. Sarah! he did nothing but talk ‘,l the child—and that silenced me." Sarah, with a fosgetfulness of her station which might have appeared extraordinary even io the eyes or the most lenient of mistresses, flung bereelf back In a chair when the first word of Mrs. Treverton's reply was uttered, clasped her to tabling hands over tier face, and groaned to heraelf—"o, what will happen: what will happen new:" Nrs. Treverton's eyes had softened and mois tened when she spoke of her love for her hur band. She lay intent fur a few minutes- the work ing of %owe strong emotion in her, being ex pressed by her quick, hard, labored breathing, and by the painful contraction of her eyebrows. Ere, long, she turned her head uneasily towards the ehair in which her attendant was sitting, and spoke again—this time, in a voice which bad sunk to a whisper. " Look for my medicine," said she. "I want it." Ssrsh started up, sod with the quick justified of obedience brushed away the tears that were mint% fast over her theeks. " The doctor," she said. " Let me esll the doctor." "No! The medicine—look for the tnedi• eioe " " bottle? MS opiate, or—" " Ne. Not cite opiate. The other." Sarah took a bottle from the table, and look ing attentively at the written direction on the label, said that it was not yet time to take that medicine again. " Give me the bottle." "0, pray don't ask me. Pray wait. The doctor said it was as bad as drata.driaking, if yow took too much " Mrs Treverton's clear, deep grey eyes began to flash; the msy flush deepened on her cheeks; the commanding hand was raised again, by an effort, from the oounterpene oo chicle i lay. " Take the cork out of the bottle," site said, " and give it to me. I want strength. No mat ter whether I die in an hour's time, or a week's. Give me tlle bottle." " Not the bottle," said Swab, giving it up, nevertheless, under the ittfinesee of her mistress's look. " There are two daft left. Wait, pray wait till I get a glue." She turned again towards the table. At the eagle moment Mrs. Treverton raised the bottle to her lip., drained it of its contents, sod *nag it from her on the bed " She has killed herself:" stied Sarah, run uiog in terror to the door. " Stop!" said the sok,: from the bed, worn re. solute than ever, already. " Stop ! Come back, and prop me up higher on the pillows." Sarah pat her baud cm the bolt. "Come back," reiterat ed Mrs. Trevertoa "While there is lite is me, I. will be obeyed. Come back." The color be gan to deepen .perceptibly all over her hum, sad the light to grow brighter in her widely-opened eyes. Sarah same back; and, with shaking lends, added one more to the many pillows which sup. ported the dying woman's Lead and shoulders.-- While this was being dose. the bedclothes be esate a little diersimreeJ. Mrs Treverton shedderingty drew thorn lip to their former posi tion, close round her arch. " Did you unbolt the door?" she asked "No' " C forbid you to go nest it again.

Sarah started to her feet with a faint servant. " You make my flesh creep."' she whispered, filing her eyes on her mistress's foe with a mare of superstitious horror. At the same instant, the overdose of the stimulatieg medicine bepa to affect Mrs. Treverton's ksio. She rolled her head restlessly from side to side of tie pillow-- repeated vacantly a few lines from one of the o•ld play:books which had been removed from her bed—and saddest; held out the pea to the see ming. with a theatrical wave of the heed, and a gleam upward at an imagivary gallery of spec.

" Writer And the weak hood was waved spin with a forlorn, feeble imitation of the 014 star guitar& Closisg her Gapes mechasioally ow the pen that was thrust between them, Sarah, with her eyes still expressing the superstitious terror which her mistress's words had aroused, waited for the next command. Some minutes elapsed before Mrs. Trevertoo spoke again. She still retained her manses eilisiently to be vaguely con scious of the *fleet whichithe medicine was pro duoiag on her, and to be desirous of combating its further progress before it stiooseded in utterly confusing her ideas. She asked ins for the smelling-battle, next for some Eau de Cologne. This last, poured on to her bawdkerohief, and applied to her forehead, seemed to prove success ful is partially eleariag her faculties spin. Her eyes recovered their steady look of intelligence; leg the word "Write," eie w. •11.. the direction by beginning immediately to dictate in quite, deliberate, de t ermined tones. Sarah's tears fell fast; her lips murmured fragments of ratenoes in which entreaties, expressions of penitence, and exclamations of fear were all strangely mingled together, bet she wrote on submissively, in wavering lines, until she had nearly filled the two first sides of the note-paper. Then Mrs. Twerton paused, looked the writing over, and, taking the pea, signed her name at the end of it. With this effort, her powers of resis tance to the exciting effect of the medicine seem ed to fen. The deep nosh tinge her cheeks once more, and she spoke hurriedly and unsteadily when she banded the pen back to her maid. Sign!" she cried, besting her band feebly oa the bedclothes. " Sign Sarah Leeson, witness. No:—writs accomplice. Take your share of it; I won't have it shifted on me. Sign, I insist on it! Sign as I tell you."
