In sny BLUE VEINS AND BLACK A scory of Blood and Iron. . CHAPTER I. the at terooon was far advanced, tbe principal oburcb ol the Reaidenoe was tall *o overflowing. The great numbers preeeul, the rieb floral adornments of tbe altar, ss well M the long row of wailing eqaipaget ontaide, proved tbat tbe mar- riage about to be solemnized here excited interest in an unusually large circle. Tbe bearing of the assembly, M ia usual on each oooaeions where the saoradnees ol Ibe place forbids any audible expression of eurtoeily or sympathy, betrayed an expect- ant unrest. Tbere waa a whispering, a pul- ling of beads together, and an eager atten- tion to all that pawed near Ibe sacristy ; until, at last, all ended in a general, half- suppressed " Ah 1" ot satisfaction aa tho door* were thrown open ; and, with the flret notes of tbe organ, tb* bridal parly entered. It was s large and brilliant company that grouped around tbe altar and Ibe bridal pair. Rich uniform*, beavy velvet aod satia robes, rare ooetly Iseea, dowers and diamond*, all glittered, undulated, and blent together in a blaze of magnitioenoe dazzling to behold. Tbe aristocracy of birth and weaUtb, present here in its most distinguished representatives, lent an unwonted splendor to tbeee marriage rites. At the right of the bride, as first among tb* goes*, stood a tall, stately officer, whose uniform and numerous ordera indi- cated a loog military oareer. llm bearing waa simple and dignified, aa became the solemnity of tbe occasion ; and yet il eeemed as if tbe gravity ot his feature* concealed something not in harmony with eo joyous an event. It was a peculiarly melancholy glane* be Uew upon the bridal pair ; and, as bia gaze wandered over Ibe crowded ohnrob, a thrill ot repressed pain or auger seemed to pass over tbe proud f eatsores, and tbe nrmly-oloeed lipa quiv- ered. Opposite him, by tbe bridegroom's side, stood another gentleman, In tbe dress of a civilian. He was somewbsl advanced in years, and appeared to be one of tb* near- **t relative* ; but neither Ibe profusion of brilliants be displayed in walob-obain, rings, and breast-pin, nor tbe self-conscious neea of hi* manner, could give him tbe faintest gleam of tbat distinction tbe man oppoaile possessid in ao remarkable a degree. Hia appearance waa decidedly oommoDplsoe, not to say vulgar; and Una was only heightened by hi* pres- ent sir of unconcealed triumph. II was with infinite complacency tbat be surveyed tbe bride aud groom and tbe brilliant assemblage tbe intense satisfaction with which ooe bails tbe attainment of a long- aooghtfioal. For him tbere was no ahadow to dim tb* joy and splendor ot these bridal feativitiM. Tbeee two men appeared to be tbe only deeply-interested spectators of a marriage ba wbiob the bride and groom were moat indifferent ot all. Tbe moat distant of tbe gnawta oonld bave shown no greater nnoon- oern than did these two, wbo, in a few moments, would belong for life to each other. This young brid* of 10 years wae undeni- ably a beautiful girl ; but there floated about bar an icy atmosphere, little suited to the pis** and time. The light of the altar-oaadlee; played among tbe heavy folde of tb* white satin dress, and flashed back from tb* diamonds of the costly brid jewels ; bat it tell upon tbe face, wh io with tbe beauty of tbe marble, seemed to have received all its oollnese and rigidity, M least for this boar, wbiob should have animated tb* moat lifeless repose. Tbe ash-blond of tbe beavy braids, around which lay the myrtle wreath, contrasted trangelv with the dark brows and the Sklmoal black eyes wbieh were raised but ones or twice during tba ceremony. Tbe pale, regular featorea looking out from tbe bridal veil wore Ike aristocratic expression wbieh is inborn, and can never be inbred. Tbia was tbe ruling element in tbe bride'a appearance. II was betrayed in the deli- cate noble outlines of ber face ; il was impressed upon ber manner ; it wss so inwoven into ber whole being as to throw every other characteristic into tbe shade. Tni young lady seemed created to move only around the heights of life, without v*r coming in oostacl wilb beings of a lower ipbere ; ani yet tbere wae an expres- sion in those dark eyes wbiob betrayed more energy and character tban we are wont to find in a lady ot fashion. Possibly tbe boar demanded all the bride's energy and aelf- control . for, ss tbe ceremony progressed, tb* gentleman in uniform at ber right, aod tbe three young officin behind blm, fixed the moat search- ant gbtace* upon ber fact. But, through eUl, that f aoe remained cold and impassive Mat fin*. Tba bridegroom, a young man ol some eight and twenty years, waa one of those Individual* who seem created for tbe glit- tering tram* of Ibe a/.-n, aod wbo are of email aooounl anywhere but in the faabion- able world, where they eelebrato their Iri- amphi, sod paea their liven. Exquisitely elegant io dress and manner, be yet appeared Nan hi the highest degree. His refined and plMSing feature* wore SMS aipression of snob entire apathy, snob Otter indifference to every earthly thing, as to rob them of all tbat could attract or oh arm. All WM M lifeless, so oolorlsss 1 Not a breath of red in tbe cheeks, not a gleam of animation in the whole face, wbieh looked a* it neither joy nor sorrow oonld move it from it* insensibility. As, in society, a gentleman ooadnete a Udy H her place, so he had led hi* bride to tb* altar. Now ha stood at her side, and held ber hand in just tbe same HaMeis, spa tfaetlo way. Neither tbe imfnatenoe of tb* step b *a aboul to tftka, n_> the beauty of Ibe woman be waa to marry, appeared _^ ithar (or husband and wile. Again tbere was a convulsive movement of tbe offioer'a feature*, and ba threw a glance almost of hatred at tbe man oppo- site him. The neit moment tbe double " Yee" bad been spoken, the double vow through wtiioh on* ol tbe oldest, proudest namea ot the nobility was merged in tbe plebeian name of Berkow. Soaroa bad the last word ot tbe bene- diction been pronounced when the bejewel- led gentleman ruibed forward with the evident idea ot giving an Detestations sal- utation to the newly-wedded pair. Bat the officer was before him. Calmly, but with tbe manner of on* who claims an inalienable right, be btepped between tbe two, and clasped the bride in bis arm*. But the lips wbiob touched ber forehead were cold ; and the f aoe which tor soms moment* bent down to hem bore an expres- sion quite different from bis usual haughty reserve. " Courage, my lather I it must be." The words, audible to him alone, recalled the baron to his self-possession. Once again be folded his daughter to his heart ; and there was in bia whole manner some- thing like an entreaty for pardon. Then he released ber from bis arms, and delivered her to the unavoidable embrace of tbe other gentleman, who, with visible Impa- tience, bad waited to congratulate bis " dear daughter-in-law." Eugenie made no resistance, tor the eyes of tbe whole assembly were upon her. Sue stood immoveable; no feature ot the beauti- ful face changed ; but Ibe eyes were lilted, and tbere was in their glance such unap- proachable pride, snob ioy repulsion against what she could not possibly avert, tbat the father io-law, quite disconcerted, at once Bnbdued hia first violent tenderness, assum- ing in it* stead a respectful courtesy. Tbe embrace which followed was s mere form, in which Berkow'a arm just swept tbe airy folds ol tbe bridal veil. Tbe by no means small self-conceit of the new relative bad cowered before tbat haughty glance. Young Berkow did not make matters so difficult to his father-in-law. Something like a pressure ot the band, in wbieh hia white glove scarce came in contact with tbal ol tbe baron, was exchanged between tbem. It appeared to <l<nt* satisfy both. The bridegroom now offered the bride bis arm, and they passed down Ike aisle. The bride's satin train swept the marble steps ol the vettibnle ; and behind came a gorgeous array ot gaeete. Baon after the equipage*, one after another, rolled away. Tb* ohorcb waa quickly vacated. Bonse pressed to tbe door* and windowa to gaze after the bridal party ; others burned oul to exchange remark* over tbe appearance ol tbe bride and groom and wedding-guests. In less than ten minutes all within was silent and desolate. But the twilight gleamed through the lolly ohar.ccl- window, flooding wilb ita roseate beami altar and allar-paintiuga, ao tbat the ancient figure* on tbal golden ground eeemed to be alive. Moved by Ibe breeze, the taper* swayed to and fro ; while from tbe channel floor exhaled tbe perfume ot the flowers that bad been strewn there with a lavish band. Tbe ladies' trains had swept over them ; the gentlemen'* feel had crushed tbem. Of wbat account ware theae poor flowers amid tbe lavish diamond eplendor of those nnptial rites which had sealed tbe union ot tbe daughter ot a proud, hereditary race with Ibe sou of a million air*? The equipage* bad already drawn up belore the baronial mansion ; and the brilliantly-lighted room* began to be alive with guests. In tb* reception-room, amid the dazzling glow of wax-tapers, stood Ibe young bride, leaniag on her husband's arm, and just aa proud and cold as, an hour ago, she bad stood at the altar, and received tbe congratulations of the wedding-guests. Waa 11 bappinees ber bridal vow bad sealed ? Tbe melancholy shadow tbal would not lift from bsr father's haughty forehead gave answer, CHAPTER II. " Now, thank ileaven, things are at last in order ! and il is high time, for in a quarter of an boor they may be bere. 1 bave given the men on tbe bill exact instruc- tions. Aa soon aa tbe carriage comes in sight they ar* to fire tbe first salute." " But, Herr Director, yon are too hasty too much excited." " Spare yonr energies for tbe all import ant moment of reception !" " In your present proud position of ma* ter of ceremonies and marshal-in-ohief" began another. " No more of yonr witticisms, gentle men," interrupted tbe director angrily ; " 1 wish they bad honored one of you with this accursed post. I bave bad enough ot it." All tbe officers of the great Berkow mines, in fall society dress, had gathered at tbe foot of tbe terrace before the man sion bonne. This bouse, bnill in the moet elegant modern- villa style, with its costly facade, ite lolly plate-glass windows, and its magnifloianl entrance, more resembled a paUoe than a eonn try house. Broad, tasteful pleasure ground* surrounded it, giving an impreaaion of boundless wealth and lavish expenditure, which was greatly enhanced to-day, when all was in gall dress. Tbe bot-benae* bad apparently yielded their choicest treasures for the adornment ol etauoaees, balconies and terraces. Rare and eoetly plants, wbiob seldom eome in contact with Ibe outside air, here unfolded their tropical splendora, and filled the air wilb their fragrance. Upon tbe velvety lawn, surrounded by carefully -tended native flowers, now in ths first glorisa of the awakening apring, foun- tains sent up their glittering (pray ; and at the entrance to tbe grounds stood a grand triumphal arch, profusely decorated with flags and garlands. " I have had enough ot this I" repeated tbe director, joining the circle of officers. " Herr Berkow demands the moet brilliant reception possible ; and believed, tbal for Ibis, nothing is needed bat unlimited access to bi* oasb-box ; as to tba good-will of the miners, be never brings tbal into the account. If be only bad the miners of twenty years ago 1 If there was than a holiday, festival, or even a dance, we need bave no anxiety about tbe cheers; now there ia passive indifference on the one side, and open hostility on tbe other. They were almost ready to refuse oar young gen- tleman any reception at all t When yon return to tb* Reoideno* to-morrow, Herr Bohaffer, you mast be careful to drop no bint of mailers our proprietor either does not or v>ill not know. " I will be careful," returned Herr Bob at . far. " Would you yourself like to encoun- ter the line phrases of our chief when be hears anything displeasing to him ? In each a oasa, I get as far from him aa pos- sible." Tb* officers laughed. The absent chief did not seem to be tbe object of any great respect in their oirole. " But be baa really brought about this aristocratic marriage," aaid tbe engineer. " H* ba* given himself no and of trouble to eecureit ; and I really bops il will solace him elpr the lose ol that patent of nobility they ItW obstinately refuse him in spite of all hJrlohemea and efforts to obtain il. Be at least bas the triumph of seeing that the old nobility no longer take offence al hia plsbeian name, since tbe Windegs ally tham- selves With ii" " They oonld not bslp il," replied Herr Hchaffer. " Tb* cinbarraiwed olronmstanoss of the Windegs are well known al tbe Residence. I doubt tbe baron s wUlingeesa to sacrifice bin daughter in snob s specula eenti the baron bas made bis own con ditions ; and I oannol see ths advantage of all this sacrifice. II still remains a daugb- ter-in-law bought for ber rank and name ; and Arthur will continue to be no less a plebeian , even though he has a wile ot ancient lineage." " Do yon believe it?" said Herr Bohsffer. I think quite the contrary. To the hus- band of the Baronesa Windeg-Ilabenau, tbe son-in-law of tbe baron, they will not refuse that title for which his father has striven in vain ; but, let this be as il may, they cannot prevent bis now associating with thai oirole wbioh baa hitherto excluded him. Teach me anything about our chief ! He knows just wbat this marriage will bring him, and is Ihsrefore regardless of its cost." One ot tbe offiotre, a young, very blond< man, with tightly-fitting dress-coat and faultless kid gloves, bere thought proper to make a remark. "I cannot understand why our bride and groom make their wedding-tour to tbii out-of-the-way place, and not to ths land of poesy to Italy ' Tbs engineer laughed aloud. " No more of tbal, Wilberg I Poesy iu thia marriage Mtween money and rank I Besides, wed ding-tours to Italy are so much the fashion [hat they must seem plebeian to Herr Ber low. Tbe aristocracy go to their estates u pass the honeymoon ; and, above all things we must and will be arietooratio I" I fear there are more aeiions res ,I.H said tbe director. " Tbe young gentleman might run tbe same oareer in Rome or ii Naplee tbat he rao last year al tbe Resi denoe ; and it was high time to put an em to such extravagance. His expenditure a laal rose into tbe hundred thousands. Oa can exhaust a fountain ; and Htrr Artbui waa in a lair way to try tbia experimen for his father." Herr Bobafler's thin lips curled deriiively Tbe father reared hia son iu this way, h* said ; " bs only reaps what he bas sawn But you may b* right. In a solitude lik this, a man may perhaps sooner learn u yield to the control of a young wife. But tear tbat this wife, with ber small entbusi asm, undertakes no enviable task." " Do you believe she bss been coerced into tbe marriage ?" asked Wilberg eagerly " Oh, no I not al all. Things in oar da are not ao tragically carried on. A littl sensible persuasion, a clear insight Into air oumstanoee, brought il all about; an I have no doubt this marriags of conve- nience will in the end turn out to be quite endurable, aa in moel each oasee." Tbe blonde Herr Wilber, wbo apparently bad a passion for the tragic, mournfully shook bis bead. Ah, I fear not I If only, later, the true love awakes in Ibis young woman's heart- it another my God, Hartman I couldn't you lead your men through another route ? Yon are enveloping us all in a olond of dost 1" Tbe young miner Hartman, who was passing al the head of a column I some fifty of hia comrades, turned and threw a scornful glance upon tbe gala dress of tbe speaker, and then a second upon tLe dusty highway, where the rough shoe* cf tb miner* certainly raised a cloud of dust. " Right about-face I" commanded he deigning no reply to Wilberg. Tbe men obeyed , and with military preouicn turne and took the designated course. " A bear Ibis II art man !" said Wilberf brushing bia ojat with bis handkerohie! " Had be even a word cf apology for hi rudeness t ' Right about-face,' ha said with a tone ol oammand, as it bs wss general at the bead of bia army I And wba airs ba gives himself!

The young miner Hartmann hai mean time posted his comrades around the tr: umpfaal arch. Tbe director was right ; h waa a stately fellow, towering at least head above all bis men. He wss a power lul, strongly-built flgore, and looke especially distinguished in bis dark miner >bg a word of assent from him, but none ras given. Only one of tbs men moved as t to accede to the ovrseer's request. Tbe 'onng leadsr turned and gtsod at him. Il was but a single glauaa out ol those stern >!ue eyes ; but it had the effect ol a win- anaud. Every man at once stepped back , not another hand moved. I wiah it would tail on your obstinate lead I" cried tbe overseer in a rage, while ith youthful alacrity . he himself elimbed up and bound tbe flsg-ataff. " Perbape you would then learn how folk* ought lo behave at a festival ; aud yon have spoiled Lorene, wbo used to he the best of you ; but now be only dots wbat his lord aud muter Ulriob commands." Oogbl we to rejoice tbal a new arieto oral is coming lo rule here?" anked I. rich In a low tone. " I thought we had enough ot tbe old one." Th* overseer, busied with tbe flag-atsfl, did not bear this remark ; but Martha, who had stood silent at one side, turned quickly arouud, and threw an anxious glanou up to tbe arch. " Help him, Ulriob, I beg yon !'" she taid. Tbe obstinate yunng man made ne answer ; but bia features were not a shade milder or more compliant. Tbe girl stood motionless before him. Shs evident!] wished to say something, but was ball afraid. At length she spoke softly " Aod will you really nol come to tbs festival to-night ?" "Nol" Ulrieb!" " Leave me alone, Martha I Too know I do not like your danoing foolery I" Martha started back ; bnl her red lip* oorled ia scorn, and tbe moitt glimmer in her eyes waa more tears ot anger tban aor row at her oousA's rndenee*. Ulriob did nol remark this. He did nol seem to trouble himself much aboul (hi girl. Without a word further, she turnet ber back to him, and went in another dlreo lion. The eyes ef the young man, wbo hat al last found courage to help about tbe flag staff, followed ber continually. He wonk no doubt bave gi.-en mnob if tbe invitation bad been to bin rather than to Ulriob wbo bad decline! it so indifferently. Meantime, tbc overseer had come down and was regsrding bis work with grea complacency, when the first salute eohoe from the hill, it was followed by a seoom and a third. Tkis signal of tba arrival o tne long expeotet bride and groom, as ma; b* uuppoeed, ceased a great flutter. Tb officers were io lively commotion. Tbe director onoe more scanned bis prepara tions. Tha chief engineer aud Herr Bobaf fer buttoned on their glovea, and Wilbsrg hurried over lo Martha to ask fer perhaps Iba twentieth time if she ws* sure she knew bit versee-if there ws* really aol danger, last, by some untimely fright, abs might peril bis poetic triumph. Even tb* miners betrayed eom< ouriotity lo see this young and beautifn woman, their future mistress. MJIU tLaE one tightened his leather belt, aod pressed his bat down over his forehead. I'lrich alone stood guile unmoved, just as dumb and neorslul as before, and threw not even a glance in ths direction of the oomiui gaeete. Bat the reception, arranged with so muol expens* and trouble, waa to turn onl quite otherwise than oanld kave been hoped. lahangod between thbiu. While Eugenie tood apnght In tbe ooaoh looking tor help, and resolved at the last moment to make h* dangerous spring. Arthur remained tumoveble iu bis place , bul, as they neared he bridge, he bad fer one short moment ilaeed bia hand ovsr bis syee, expcoting, no lonbt, Ibe nexl instant to be dashed io pieces. Now be stood leaning againat tbe railing ot tbe bridge, perhapa a trifle paler than usual, bul without trembling, without any visibls token of excitement. Whether he really fell none, or whether be controlled it, even now, Ulriob must oonteee tbal there was someibing unusual in his apathy. Tbe young heir had just looked death in Ibe f aoe ; and now be looked at Ulrioh as if tbat man who had rescued him from mortal danger waa a sort of inoompreben- aible oorioeily. The now rather superfluous assistance came from all aides. Twenty hands were at onoe raised to lift up the prostrate horses, and to help down the ooaohmao wbo waa almost Benaeleas from fright. Tbe whole tide ot officials rushed forward, and overwhelmed the bride and groom with all sorts of expressions of condolence and aym- patby. They vied with each other iu offers of help ; they oonld not imagine bow tbe accident bad happened ; they blamed tbe shots, tbe horses, aud the ooaohmau by tarn*. Arthur for aome momenta endured all Ibis passively, then be made an evasive gesture. (To bo continued). According to the strict rules o beauty, his face oonld nol be called ham soms ; the forehead was some what too lo th* lips too full, tbe lineament not sufi oiently noble. But these sharp, clearly cu features were not commonplace. Flaxen onrlicg hair olnatersd thick around th broad massive forehead ; while a wav flaxen beard covered tbe lower part of hi face, whose bronzed, bealtby eomplaxio did nol betray its frequent withdrawal from the light and sunahins. The lips wer curled in defiance ; and in the blue, Hullo eye* lay something indescribable an expression common natures al once fe and respected as superiority. Embodie energy spoke from Ibis man's whole being and, little sympathy ss his rigid bearln might awake, al the first glance yon fe bie power. An elderly man, who, although he wor tbe miner's drees, did not seem to belong k the workmen, now appeared, aocompanie by a young girl. " Good lack to you, comrades I" be aaid " bow is Ulrioh ? is everything in order ? Uliiob nodded assent ; while tbc men answered bis salutation by a hearty " Qluc auf, Herr Overseer I" Bat Ibe glance* o most turned to his young companion. Thia young girl of twenty years was really very pretty , and tbe peasant oos turn* ot thai region became ber charmingly Rather ptiitr in stature, ber crown ccsroe reached to the shoulder of tbe giant II art mann ; heavy, dark braids surrounded her fresh, slightly sunburned face, with its blooming cheeks and clear blue eyes. Her form was robust, but yel graceful. She made a gesturs as if to reaob her hand to Ulrieb ; but, as he remained stand ing with folded arms, ber own tall quickly The overseer remarked this, and fixed a sharp glance upon both. " Are yon in a bed humor beaaoae you couldn't bave yonr own way for onoe ?" hi asked. " Console yourself, Ulrioh ; it eel dom enough happens . but when yon go too far, your father must interpose with bis authority." " II I had anything to say to Marlb, I should Sky 11," replied Ulrioh decidedly ; and his morose glance swept over the bouquet ot rare hot house flowers in ber band. " I believe you," returned th* old man " il would be just like yon. Bnl Martha ia my sister's child, and most obey me. What la th* matter with your triumphal arch up there? The flag- staff bas sunken ; fasten it up again, or the structure will fall." Ulrioh to whom this warning we* evi- dently addresaed, threw an indifferent glance up to the threatened garlands, bat made no motion to corns to their help. "Do yon not hear?" asked ^bej^sber impatiently. ' II is my business to keep watch u P Jjkne I here, not to stand by the arcb," reWltr HR-rn Ulrioh. " Can't you let tbe old grudge rest to- day ?" asked tbs overseer angrily. ' Well, one ot you others attend to the matter." Tbt miners glanosd at Ulriob, M U waj|. ory c f horror from tbe overseer, wbo Blood outside the arcb, drew all glances in tba direction ; and wbat they saw was terrible enough. Down tbe declivity leading to the villag dashed, or rather flew, a ooaoh, whoa horses bad became utterly unmanageable Frightened probably al the salute, the stormed onward, swaying ths ooaoh htthe and thither, over tbs uneven road, an threatening ever moment to rush with i against the giant trees al the left.

Tha fear ful snd of thia mad journey waa only t>x etident. The eataatropbo muil come tbe bridge below. Tbe throng of people gathered in fron of the bouse did what snob throngs ar wont to do on liks occasions. They shrieked al. ud with terror, and run helploerly u aud down. It never occurred to one o tbem tocffar tbe needed assistance; eve among the minera, so accustomed to toene of dacger, no one sesmed to have retainec bii presence ol mind. Ata I bnl there waa one.

While admit- ting thai theee various foods possessed undoubted exoellenoee, and tbat they severally are adapted to different oases and oonditions, Dr. Robert* insists that it is a great disadvantage that they are all piaotioally secret com- pounds, and tbat on this aooounl they are unfitted for tbe aae ot the physician.
