In such a case her engagement to that very cool and matter-of-fact wooer William Burgot would cuitainly be broken off, whilst the Coloiiel could hardly be expected to forgive and marry a gurl who had played fast and loose with him in so unprincipled a manner. Between the two stools "Dear CUra*' would come to the ground, t)e affair wonld be a piquant object of gossip for Harefordahire scandalmongers, and her tl], matrimonially considered, would be about as fatal as that of one 'Humpty Dompty," vbo bad an equally awkwturd tnmble, with results wh'ch "all the kiof's horses and all the king's men" ooold not rectify. William Borgot was perhaps the moat impatient of than all. HekQSW, as well as thongh the faot bad been told him in so many words, that the ught of the "beauty-marks' upon his arm had quickened Colouel Pettitt's aiambeciag recollections. The Cokmers spsedi about th« *tq^-hnntof Jungapore-' proved that he bad discovered his bott's identity -with the zeal WiUimd Busv^'s servant.

"My lord," she continued, "when you insulted me years ago and we parted in anger, I vowed to be reveng- ed. To fulfil that vow became the aim of my life. No matter how 1 hoped to aocompli^h it. When Dake Burgot died, and William Burgot suc- ceeded to his inheritance. I knew that the way was being made easy. When yon and I mot fuoe to face, I said to myaeif-ilMt- the hour of my revenge was at hanil." She was cruelly pale her lovely eyes shone with feverish light, her voice trembled with repressed but bit- ter energy. Lord ArraiJale began to fael that he stood ou tlie brink of sime strange revelation, but he only bowed in token of his attention. "My plan was very simple â€" to fas- cinate you with such poor beauty, wit, and accomplishments as I possessed, to wm you back to the old alleglince without visible effoit, and most of all, without the old response, and after wards to reject with scorn and con- tumely your proffered hand. On the very eve of succeos I learned from him whom you suppose to be my father that hir real name is Charles Siugletcn, the piay-mate, foster-broth- er, servant, and inend of the dead William Burgot, whose illegitimate child lam." "Illegitimate 1" cried Lord Armi- dale. ••Even so, my brd. Then I knew th«t if the imposture were eventually discovered, you would rejoice at your fortunate escape. A better scheme of vengeance occnrred ti me. It was to accept and marry yon, then tell yon all the truth and taunt you with yonr shame." "Go on â€" go ou," said Lord Armi- dale, brokenly. "I'he project would have snocoedsd, had not my own firmness given away. My lord, for the second time, I have changed my projert. Viola's revenge is now aceomphshed." From under the ragged kerchief about her throat she unclasped a ohaio he had given to ber. with a portrait- loeket hanging to it. From one of her white fingers she drew the engage- ment-ring, and added it to the flitter- ing iieap. The diamonds flashed back the fireli^t as she poshed the jewels towards him. "I release yoa from our engagement; all is at an end between us. My lord, I am so hamble now that I see, even more dearly than yon did in the old days, how wide a gulf separates an Eoclish peer from a poor Italian beg- glar-nkaid, the child of shame." H«r voice broke, her head was bowed she eonld not see tbrongh the weiling tears what infinite compassion and love gbn'ified bar eorapankm's noUfi ooontenanee. 'I have only to aak ibrcheoces," she went on, after a pause, "before we part tot ever, for tbe great wrong I have done yoo, so fax exceeding that I soSned at yoax hands.

He saw the folly of it now, as he sat in mine host's sand-stiewed par- lor and awaited the scryiiig of the meal. The idol he sot up in tlie tem- ple of his heart had fallen from its pe- destal and was hopeljssly shattered. The sight of the fragments angered him he could never piece tbem to- gether again and rcinetate it. Never agam could bend tbe 1 ' at "Dear Clara's" shrine, although he knew full well that a dozen sentences spoken in her ear would induce her to discard the suitor she was marrymg iu such unseemly haste and implore him, Colonel Pettitt, to pardon her and be reconciled. No; tbe tidings of her perfidy had slaia Lis love and awakened a fierce thirst for vengeance. He aeked him- self whether it did not behove him to stop this marriage, arranged with such guilty precipitation during his brief absence. He smiled once or twice as he re- volved the question aud miue host, encountering his fixed preoccupied stare and his joyless smile, shuddered mvoluntarily, wondering what made the Colonel look so strange. There was yet time. He might drive to tbe (irange, ask to see "dear Clara" or Mrs, Kobert, and import in- formation which would deaden the dangour of the bells and change the merry sonnd of wedding festivities in to weeping and wailine and gnashing of teeth. But, instead of taking this eourse, the Colond ate a few moathfnls of breakfost, drank a few glasses of wine, and sauntered down to the church. An evil face, white, hard, and deter- mined, was Colonel Pettitt's as he se- lected a pew to his jiking. William Bnfgot peteeiTed it iu the midst of the ceremony and dropped thexiog ha was abeat to place on hia bado!« ftogar. His trembling bands afanost refJ BS od their teak each mo- ment he expected to hear hi.s accnsrr'e voice forbid the marriage hot he was happily disappmnted.

I allude to the in^KM- tor iHio Itas hitherto been known as William Buzgot,but whom we majnow begin to address as Chariea Singkton. and who has bo more ri^t to Burgot Oi«Dge and to th% princely inoome he derives therefrtm than I have. There was a strange confusion of tongaee and aa hysterical shriek from Hn- Bobort. "Dear Oara" turned white to the very lips. Had she sold herself for nothing to a man whom she did not love Had the Colonel sui^iressed information which might have saved her, in revenge for her Mtblessness? She knew now the meaning of his sudden journey to It- aly. This secret was the gold mine he thought to develop; Lord Armidale was rising to his feet, and the confusion of tongues ceased. "Permit me to say," he observed, "In justice to Mr. Charles Singleton, that he was the deceased WiUiam Bur- got's foster-brother and friend, that he asssnmed his name aud the guardian- ship of hia daughter, my dear wife, by William Burgot's dying request and that, although he had certainly no right until to-day, to Btirgot Grange â- aixt,* ht e' ' " i » awjU^y wc qiihe rf-sgcA' ngut by his marriage with Miss Clara Dallas, their lawful owner." "Nonsense!" cried Colonel Pettitt sharply, "'the lawfiil owner is your wife, my lord." "The lawful owner is my ward, Viola," testified the false William Bur- got. "I deceived her" once by repre- senting thttt her father's marriage with her Italian mother was not, by Eng- lish law, legal but the statement was untrue. I have been iu a manner forced to speak and act fttlsely but I am glad to think that nobody has real- ly suffered in consequence." "Except one, who richly deserves her punishment â€" Clara Singleton, your wife " growled the Colonel vin- dictively. But "dear Clara" had fainted. ****** â- ; H' ♦ "Dear Clara" andChailes Singleton are making the best of their loveless union, hving on the interest of Char- les Singleton's little fortune, eked out by an allowance from Lord Armidale. Strange to say, Mrs. Piobert has mar- ried Colonel Pettitt, and report s.iys they are very happy. Be that as it may, there is one couple about whose wedded bhss there can be jio shade of doubt Lord and Lady Armidale bless daily the joyful consummation of "Viola's Ke\x.\ge." â€" â€" [the end] â€" :â€" i"**-.

A cnricus person died rccieutly iu Paris at the age of 72 years.^he Gount Napoleon Bortrand, son of the com- panion of Nspelon I. at St. Helena. The Count every year used to hu-e a room in a hotel and go to bed for three months, after having given orders for food to be brought to him once a day and not a word be spoken by the ser- vent. He was asleep during the scige of Paris. One day tbe bread was t.o abominable that he flew iuto a rage and forced the waiter to tell him the reason was thatthecity was besieged by the Prussians. Connt Betrand wsf stapefieid for a moment. At last he got up and wondered about the hotel for a time, saying to himself, "Paris besieged t besieced I what ought a Bertrand to do " Aad after a few minutes' reflection, he said I will go to bed." Aud he went to bed and slept out the sioge. â-  ' Tax Saodsst or Had Siobts.â€" The grey hairs of age being brought with sorrow to the erave is now, we are glai to think, becoming rarer every year as tiie use of Oiagateee Hair Re- storer becomes more general. By its use the scanty locks of age once more resume their former color and tlie hair becomes thick and luxunant as ever with its aid we can now defy the change of years, resting assured that* no Grey Hair at any rate will come toaaddenna.
