BLUE yEUIS UUP BUCK ; A Story of Blo*d nnd Iron. Berkow bad early become a widower, and bad contracted DO second marriage. His reetleH* charaoter, bis wild passion for cam, bad little in common with a domestic life ; such a lite be bad elwayi (sill a fetter rather than a solace. His only so* and bur had grown up in the Residence. No pains or expeuae bad been spared in his education, lie bad had pmate teachers la all branches, a uuiveraity eoone), aod much foreign travel , but nothing bad bMn dons to qualify him lot bU future career an ebitf and director ot a great industrial ojlabUshmeut. Mr. Arthur sbowed a leeided aversion to learning anything Beyond the absolute requirements ot fash- ionable culture ; and the tuber bad been much too weak aod too vain to insist on a ore aerioas or deeper education than Ibat wfaioh would fll his son to play a brilliant rott <a society. For the attainment of tbu coal be cheerfully lavished thousands. He knew that in an extremity Arthur would always find enough capable officers, wboee msobanioal and bnaineu services could be) bought with money ; and why need the young man trouble himself to learn luoh thing! 7 And so the elder Berkow, who lived alternately at the Residence and npoo bin estates, took upon himself the entire business management, while the son, who soaroe visited the mine* onoe a year, wae, during bis brief sojourn, always fitmyed The weather thus far bad col been pro- pitious to the newly wedded pair. The ton hsd seldom shone this spring ; bnl at lasi, after a long succession of rainy daye, be came oat as if to greet tbe Babbatb. Tue shafts were empty, the work* deserted ; but deepile tbe Sunday reel, and the laugh ing sunshine, something of tbe melancholy, distrained almoepbere of Ibis region seamed to reet upon the whole colony. In all theae numerous buimees aod dwelling houses not the slightest idea of beauty or ol tbe comfort ot their inmatee Wat visible. Tbey bad been bail I solely for nee. But that this eenst of beauty was not wanting in the proprietor, bii own eoontry bouse gave ample proof. It stood at some liltle distance from the works, on negnifloent site, with a loll view of tbe wooded hills and distant mountains. Out- tide and to, this dwelling wae adorned with more than princely luxury ; and with iti balconies, terraces, and flower gardens, lay tike an oasis full of perfume and poesy, in tbe midst of this domain of industry. The small boose of overseer Hartmann stood midway between the mansion hooe aod tbe mine ; and its aspect sbowed thai iti owner enjoyed a most favorable position. Hartmann, when a young, active miner, had married a girl in tbe service of Fran Berkow, aad an especial favorite with her mistress. After her marriage, tbe young wife remained more or less in ber old relstioni to tbe family : and in consequence ber husband received many favors, bung advanced from poet to post, mntil at lait he wae appointed under overseer. Tbeee relations, and tbe favors aleo, bad Tnttfl after tbe lady's death ; tor Herr Berkow was not a man to give himself moob trouble about any former member of his house- bold. Hartmann ' wife died toon tfter, aod there WM no more intimacy at the master's bouse; but during Ibeee years tbe overseer bad formed a Irene attach- ment to the Berkow family, and he was allowed to keep the eaey poai lion he bad then attained a position In wbiob be bad no personal experience of tbt usual hard work and poor pay of the uiueri. He had some yean ago adopted Martha Eweri, tbe orphan daughter of hie miter. Martha keepl hie bouse; but his secret wish, that eh* and hie BOD ehonld msrry, seemed to have no proepecl ot fulfilment, On this Sunday morning, the onoe quiet little home was the theatre of a rather ecoiiing scene, such as bad got to be ol no rare occurrence between this father and sen. Tbe overseer, standing in tbe centre of the email anting room, was very excit- edly talking to Ulrioh, who bad just returned from tbe director's, and now, silent and morose, leaned against the door, while Martha, standing a little aside, gazed at both with an anxiety she oould not eoneeaL " Have I lived to see this .'" cried the overseer. " Have you not enemies enough among tbe gentlemen over tbere already, but yon must needs offend them stall more '! Our proprietor often you a earn large enough to found a houaebold of your own, and you, stubborn fellow, without toe least hesitation, lay HO/ Bill wbat do you oare, indeed, about a boueehold or any such thing ; Wbat do you think about ever taking a wife ? Whenever you com* from your work your head li stack in a news- paper ; and half the nigbl through, you all over your books, and stuff your brains full of all that new fashioned stuff an bonesl miner bas no need to know bit wbole lift Jong. Among yonr comrades, yon play the matter ; so thai nexl thing, they will be aeking no longer the Herr Director, bnl Hen Ulrioh Hartmaun, wbat moat be done upon tbe works. And if they should abauot to be reminded that you wen onoe only a common miner, then they would ipeak of Ibis reward, and bring tbe wbole story again to tbe remembrance of our euperiors. I should think, U eve* a man honorably earned money, it was you in thin affair !" Ulrioh, who bad hitherto Uetened la filvlMrt, now stamped afigrily, " Bat I tell you I will aeespt nothing from that eel over then. I have declared to you that I want no reward, will receive e, foe oay so-called act of heroism they ' ng_snoh afuas about; arad I stand made through the director, aad without other acknowledgment," continued the girl decidedly ; " and it is not al all the proper way. If Herr Berkow bad only himself Broken a word of thanks, or. something of the kind ; but, really, be give* himself no trouble about anything in the world. He always looks ae if be bad just wakened from sleep, and as if it gave him a painful effort even to look at one ; and if be really dose not sleep, be Uee all day on his oofs, and Blare* up at the ceiling" "Lean tbe young gentleman alone!" interrupted tbe overseer hastily. " His father U revponaible for all. In oUUdbood ht allowed mm bis own way, and was pleaeed even with bie naughtiness. Every day be would tell the boy bow rioh be we* going to be, and drive away tutors and aerv- ants if Arthur did not agree with them. Ai be grew up, be most associate with counts and barons; uoney was given him in heaps ; and the wilder be was, the belter hit father was pleaeed. Certainly such a young fellow must loose some ot bU good- nets ot heart. And Arthur wai good ; I hold to that How often, when a little fel- low, did be ride upon my knee ! He bad a heart too. Alter hie mother died, and they wtre about to take him to the city, I remem- ber bow he bong about my neck, and, weep- ing bitterly, begged not to be bent away. " Herr Berkow flattered him, and promised him ever so many fine things when they got out into tbe great world ; but I bad to carry him to tbe ooaob. Alls r be bad been in tbe city awhile with loraut and tutor*, all this was over , but the next time I met him be shook hands with me. Then be grew colder and more aristooratio ; and now an expression ol pain panied over tbe old man's face ; but be shook off Ibis weakness. " Well, in the long run, it will be tbe same to me ; but I cannot bear that you Martha, at every opportunity, should go on in this way about our young gentleman. Dlriob, as we know, bee a real hatred against him. But, supposing Ibat obstinate boy tbere was left to have bie own way, and some hundred tbousande beside*, we may well imagine what he would have made." " Perhaps something worae, lather ; but certainly not snob a weakling a* ht," replied Ulrieh bitterly. " Yon may rely upon that." The conversation, which threatened to take an unpleasant turn, now happily ended. There was a knock at the outside door ; aod, directly alter, entered a serv- ant in the rioh but somewhat over orna- mented livery of the Berkow house. " Oood day 1" he said to tbe overseer. " My lady tends me on an errand to your Ulrioh. Ab! there yon are, Hartmsuu. Her ladyship wishes to speak to yon ; thia evening, at seven precisely, I am to intro dnoe yon to her." U< I" " Ulrick f Both exclamations oame with equal inr pries from the lips of the overseer and bii ton ; while Martha, just as astonished, gazed at the servant, who indifferently added ' II mmt be something the director is ooucerue 1 in, Hartmann. Very early this morning he was with our lady, wbo it not in tbe babil of troubling her husband about busineea matters ; and right avay after, I was despatched to yon, alihougl. we really have enough to do to-day. All the officers are invited to dine ; aad I don'l know how many are coining from Ibe oily to pay their reepeota but I haven't a moment'* time. Be punctual ? al seven, after dinner." Tbe man gav* a hasty nod ae hie parting salutation, and hurried away. "Now we are in for ill" exclaimed the overseer angrily. " All this bee something to do with your senseless refusal. Now, see bow you will arrange matters witb them !" "Will you go, Ulnob?" asked Martha, witb a qniok, eager expression. " What are you thinking of, girl ?" replied tbe -ysJr " Do yon imagine he oould aay ' Mo,' when ber ladyship sum- moned him ?" Martha did not notice the interruption. She approached her cousin, and laid her band on hi* arm. " Will yon go ." ' she repeated softly. Ulrioh stood there, gazing morosely at tbe floor, aa it la conflict with himsell. All al one* he passionately threw back bis bead. " Certainly I will. I want to know wbat ber ladyship may be pleaeed to want of me, when, for a wbole week, ebe ha* not even given berself the trouble to inquire" He paused suddenly, a* if be bad already aid too mnob. Martha s band bad glided (see wax tnehed, either witb vexation or tuiger ; aad Ibe cloud whieb already lay UIKIB bin forehead gr*w darker al tbe night of Arthur. " Ace yoa really here, lying upon this seta. Jusi ss you lay three hon ego ? ' Arthur seemed not to be accustomed to show bis father even the outward lows of raspeol. He bad not taken tbe least aotioe of bis entrance ; and now it did act occur to him to change hi* negligent position in tb* least Tbe farrows upon the father'* brow gnw till deeper. " Yonr apatby and laziness really begin to be past all conception 1. It ii more vexatious here than in the Resid- ence. 1 thought you would pay some small regard to my wish**, al less! take some share in carrying forward tbe arrangement* I wa* making on yonr account; but " My Qod, papa 1" interrupted tbe young man, "do you really a*k m* to trouble myself about workmen, machines, and such thing* ? I have never done it . and I really cannot understand why yon nave sent n* here ; I am ematytd to death in Ibis desert." The word* indeed showed tbe deepen mnui , but they had none tb. lets the tone of the spoiled darting con, who bad been wont to see bi* whim* regarded al all limes and in all plsoes, aad who took even tbe leaet bint o! any discomfort ae as cffenoe.

" I am aoanstomed to Me yon tnnuyta in all places and und.r all circumstances, while I alone most bear all tb. ore aad burden. Just now I am beset on every side. Tonr expenses in tbe capital have at last begun to go beyond even my means.

If hi* faoe expressed anything al all, it wae tb* wish thai bie lather would go away. Bnt thi* did not happen. He began to walk excitedly up and down the room. Trust to one's officer* aud their advice ! For half a year I have not been her* per- sonally ; and all I* going to rack and ruin. They speak of secret oonipiraoise among the workmen, of grave symptoms, ot thieal- ening danger ; a* it they had not full power to draw tbe reins as tightly as possible. Before all, a eertain Uartmanu is pointed out to me as rebel in-onief, who among hu comrades passes tor a new tort ot laletsiah, and secretly throws art-He works into issnt- reotion ; and whsn I ask why they did not send him away long ago, what do 1 receive for my answer ?

Th* slightest insub- ordination will be met with the utmost severity , and thi* head mutineer I will dismiss this vary day." Yoa cannot do tbat, papa," said Arthur hastily, and half rising from hii down from hi* arm, and she etepped back ; bnl tbe overseer said with a sigh 11 Now, God help us, if yon are going ove there I Unluckily, old Berkow can), bom last evening. If yon have a talk together .heu you will no longer be a matter mine here, and I no longer overseer. I know " And wby not ?" asked Berkow in great surprise.

" And must it really be this man t Certainly be cannot be snt away without some further reason ; we must wail for an excuse. Besides, Arthur," and ber* be K lanced frowningly al bis son" it was rather vexations tbal I bad first to hear of tbii accident through strangers. You did nol think il wortb yonr while to write me even a word about it." "Why should I?" Tbe young man canly rest*! bui head upon bis hand. " Tb. thing all turned out fortunately and, besides, they almost overwhelmed us with expressions of sympathy, congratula- tions, questions, and orations, over tb. matter. I do not think life wortb enough to make such an ado about its rescue." " Is tbat yonr honest opinion ? ' asked tbe lather, with a fixed gszj upon bi* face. lens fusturud ; it be tmtlMlhureo oari n hd a doubt, now be knew. After a mouiwtary paJke, Arthur resumed Ibe conversation. " Yon know that I never wa* inclined to marriag ; that I only yielded to jwu neajaateat iwing, 1 WB indifferent to Kugenie Windeg, a* to all other*; I did not ve.n know hsr , but I took her own and her Father's consent, awaie Ibat sb* would not be the first who bad saorinoed freely an old u*ue fur riches. It did not please you to tell me what passed before my betrothal, or what followed it. From Kugeuie'* bp* I firm beard of the basinets arrangement yon bad iuad for us both. We will let that rest ; tbe thing is done and oannot be undone ; but you will now well understand wby I decline to txpon my elf to new humiliation. 1 toaM no detirn to ttand a second time before my wife M upon that evening when she flung tbe full weight of ber soorn agaimt me and-. my father, and I had to be silent." Berkow, who had stood by silent, and witb half-averted gate, at those last words quickly turned around, and measured hi* sou with an astonished gl&noe. " I did not believe that anything oonld enrage you to luoh a degree," he said slowly. " Enrage me ? You are in error. Tbere wae no snob thing a* getting eursged between us. My wife, from tbe first, placed herself high upon tbe peden- tal of bar exalted virtues and ber aristo- oratio birth, that I, wbo in both these respects wan unworthy to stand before her, oould only admire her from a respectful distance. Seriously, I adviss you to do tbe fame, it yon should onoe in a while chance tb eiipy tne.nlta*nre of her company.," With contemptuous indiffereLCj. he again threw himself on tbe eofa ; but in hie booro there waa a deep exasperation Berkow bad never before remarked in him. The father felt lop paiotvlly th* rait he bad played in this wily transaotiOB in behalf of his SOD, and wished to dismiaa tho snbjeol m soon aa poasible. ' We will speak of thia at a more con- venient time," he said, drawing out his watch ; " let it rest to-day. There are itill two hours before the arrival of oar guests. I matt drive out to the upper works. Will yon not accompany me ?'' " No," replied Arthur, again relspiing into bis wonted indolence. Betkow made no attempt to urge hi* son. The, refusal, jost now, gratified him. He turned and went, leaving tbe young man to silence and apatby. Oat of doors, tbe first sunny spring day trailed down on the earth ; tbe hills breathed forth incense ; tbe forest glowed In tbe splendor of the snnbeamt ; but there lav Arthur Berkow, in that half-darkened room, witb drawn curtains and closed doors, ae if he alone, of all living things, was not created for the' free taooMketB aa. and Ibe golaea BUB !. %a* air wse too rough foe htm , th* sun too bright ; tho Sroipeot dazzled him ; a ramble on* of oors would have made him inexpressibly usrvoua and exhausted.

Ills eyes, indeed, glanced sullenly over Ibs brilhaqt epartuuenti ; bnl no admisBlion beamed (ran them. A* if he would quarrel with svery one of Ibe ooitly thing*, he surveyed them all ; then, end dsnly, as if in flaming hatred, he turned back apon the whole suite of rooius, (tamp- ing violently in bis impatience that no one ysl appeared. Ulrioh Hartmann evidently wa not the man to wail patiently in ante chamber* until some one condescended to receive him. At last there was a rustling behind him. He tuned, and started back involuntarily . ler, a tew stepx from him, under tbe ohau delier, stood Eugenie Berkow. He bad aeeu hez oaly ouoe. wbeu he bore her from tbe carriage ; she was then in a simple travailing dress of dark tilk, while ber lace Was half thrown in shadow by riding bat and veil ; and from tbu mealing be bad' taken but one remembrance the large, dark eyes, whiob bad been 10 steadfastly fixed upon bis face. Tbi* figure before him was quite another from any that bad tver appeared to tbe young man'* light. Rare, delicate lace fell in light ripple* over tbe white silk dress, which, like a ml very cloud, enveloped the tall, slender form. Here and there lay white rose* amid the airy woof ; and a wreath of rose* wae twined in the riob blonde hair, whose pale glitter seemed to vie witb the lustre of tbe pearls wbieb adorned Ih* lovely neck and arms. (To be continued). CUA1TEB V. A loornfnl expression played around the young man'* Up*. " Be calm, father !

They will have DO other in your place, and I" here, with scornful sell oon- ooiouiuess, Ulrioh drew himself up M bis full height" I, before all others, shall remain here. They dart not send me away ; they fear me too uaueh." He turned hi* baok to bis father, Hong open the door, and went oat into tb* open air. The overseer clasped bi* bands, and seemed inclined to give hi* rebellious eon another severe lecture ; but he wat pre- vented by Martha, wbo anew, and tnie time mnob more Jdeoidedly, took Ulrioh'i part. Weary ol contention, tbe old man al last took his pipe, and was about to leave tbe house. "Lieten, Martha," h* said, turning at the door ; " I see you think no obstinacy so great as his ; but there is yet one whiob surpasses it. Tou have found your master In r Inch ; and he will also find bii master, so true a* my name is Oottbold Hart- rrann." Up at th* country house, all were busied in preparations for Ibe great dinner. Tb* servants ran np stairs and down itair* ; in tbe work rooms bustled around cooks and maid Mrvant* ; everywhere there was something to obange or arrange ; and tbe whole house sbowed that picture of reatleis by my word.' Tbe old man started up anew, and was just about to give bis eon another and more angry lecture, when Martha Hepped between. - Let him be, uncle," ibe said . " be ! right." The overseer, quite disconcerted by these unexpected words, looked at ber with open month. Ab ! be is right ? " repeated be angrily. Well, I might suppoaw Ibat you woald again lake hi* |Mrt " Ulrioh Osnnot to tive Uus oflif I P"". activity nsual in preparing for a least. So mnob tbe more profound waa tbe stillness which ruled in tb* apartment* of young Berkow. Tb* curtain* were closely drawn, the porliera closed ; and In thi adjoining room, with noiseless step, a eerv- anl glided up and down over thick carpet, arranging this and that. His master, abet. all things, iiked lo U* tb* greater portien of the day, la/.ily dreaming, upon Ibe soft ; and would not be disturbed by the slightest sound. The young heir, with half closed eyis, lay outstretched upon a sofa. He held a book in bie band, In whiob he read, or at least seemed to have been reeding, although lor quite a while th* earn* page bad lain open before bim. Apparently it cost him too much effort to turn the leaves; and now tbe oarsleesly bald volume slipped out ot tbe small white hand* upon tbe carpet. II would bavs been bnl slight effort to bend forward and pick up Ihe book, still slighter lo call tbs servant to do thi* ; bnl neither effort wa* made. Tb* book remained lying upon the oarpet ; and, for the D*xt quarter of an hour, Arthur did | not make tb* least motion ; but bis fact plainly showed tbat b* wa* neither think- | ing ov.r his reading, nor loet in dreams be we* limply rnnuynl. A rather reokles* opening of Ibe door which led from the corridor into tbe ad join- ing room, and a loud, domineering voice, made a speedy end of thi* moel interesting employment. In entering th* auto room old Berkow aeked il hi* son was within , aod, receiving an affirmative answer, bs dismissed tb* servant, shoved back Ib* topped up to Arthur. Si* " I thought you bad been married oaly tb* day before." Arthur did not answer ; he only yawned. Berkow'* eyes fastened tbemeelve* Mill more aearcbingly upon hi* aon'< faoe.
