VI y lady WM triumphant, her nan laorn fae Imh'.s 1 with atiifaclion, but th earl looke ' grave. The lawyer had taken hi* leave, ami they ititl romaiied to discus matteri. Lord Linswll did not eeem *o well p'e.ued; he went up to my lady where she WM ataoding. " Lucia," lie ba<n, " do you think that if we euoceed in parting theie two we ihall do j !.< right ?" Right," o ne.1 my lady, " I shall think it one of th* moil virtuous action* of my life. 1 " Wall," *aid the earl, " I am aorry that I cin lot quite agree with you. No doubt thia mirriag* ie vexatiuui enough, but whether it i* well to obliterate all trace* of it, or rather to do way with it altogeth- er, It quite another thing." "1 am the bet judge of what is right in thi* oaie," laid my ltdy, haughtily; "I will have no interferecce. The bunueei part of it muit be attended to at once. " "A*. lean you will writ* to Lance and tell bun what you intend doing '" 'Ye*. *I have no objection to that," the replied, "It can make no poaiible differ- ence to him." "He mty try to make *ome compromise," aid Lord Lanswell, who*e heart imote him at he thought of the passionate beauti ful face. "There can be no ccmpromi**: he muit give her up at once, and marry *ome one in hit own rank," said the counteu. I will write the letter at once, and I muil a*k you, Hon. not to be weak A weak man i* the mo*t contemptible object in crea- tion." "I will try not to be weak, my dear," aid the earl, submissively; "but 1 am con- o* rned for Lanoe. " "Lance muit take hi* chance," laid my lady, too angry to be conscious of the rhyme; "he ha* done wrong, and h* muit eulfer for it. He will thank heaven in a y*ar's time from now that I have laved him." Still Lord Laniwell looked at hi* wife with * grave etprenion of doubt. " You think, then, Lucia, that in a year'i time he will have forgotten that poor young wife '" " I am quite lure of i f Long before I hail heard of i tin fooliih affair I had decid- ed in my own mind whom he ihould marry, and 1 lee ne reason for changing my plant." Lord Lanawell thought with regret and ymini hy of the young wife. Could it he possible, he thought, that hi* ion would be an diiloyal, to unfaithful a* to forget in twelv* horl month* the wife he had risked o inu h to win ': He In ike I at the countess. " The matter then lies in a nutahell and dependi entirely upon whether Lance con- tinue* true to nil love or not. If he re- m%iui true, your icheme for parting them will have but little effect; it he prove talne, why then all will lie well, Recording to your way f thinking." " We will rinnh with the mbject," ihe aid. "You may make ynur mind quite easy about it. I guarantee all my know- ledge of the world that he will not only have forgotten her in twelve month*' time, Imi . li it he will be ashamed of having ever fancied himself in low with her." Lord L\newell went, in obedience to hi* Wife's command, to unit in the com- mencement of the proceeding!, and a* noon a* my laily WAI left alone ihe aat down to wrilo a letter to her ion. She told him in the plainest pimible wordi, that hii main.ii;)' wai not only unl*wful,l>ut invalid, a* he, ii 'ini{ minor could not contract a legal n. rn i<t- without the commit it f hii K rents. My laily had faith enough in rsslf to add openly: "You cm of courie pleaif ycurielf a* soon ai you are of age; you can then re- mairy the young peiion without our con- Kent if you will ; but my opinion i* that you will not." The inn, 'n.-h had passed 10 unpleai- ntly for lite earl and ooiintei* wai bright and light for the young bride and bride groom.

He killed the tear* from hi* young wife'* face, and laugheu away her leais. "It will Ii* all right in the end," he laid. "My father may hold out fora few day*, but he will give way; in the meantime, we muit be happy, Leone. We will *tay at th* (Jueen's Hotel until they invite u* 1.1 < 'awdor. It will not be long; my mother and latliei cannot get on without me. We will go te the opera to-night,- that will distract your thought!." Th* opera had Iwen but hitherto an empty word to I<*one. She had a vague idea that It '..muted of ninging. After all there wa* some compensation to be found ; her young i mimi.l wa devoted to her, she wa* magnih'oently dre**ed, anil wa* going in a beautiful clneed carriage to the opera. She uttered no word of *urpri*e, but her whol* *nul wa* filled with wonder. The highest feelivily and th* great**!, gayely he htd ever witneued WM a choir tea- party. .She had a most lieautif u! voioe ; in fact, neither heraelf nor any of tho*earound her knew the value of her voioe or appre < isu-d it. Oa great oeoMinni the ohoir were enter- tamed by the reotor<-Oiioe during th* mm roer wheu they made tr.erry out in the green wood*, and once in the winter when they were entertained in the schoolroom.

She had never aeen men dresses, *uch diamond*, uch jewels, face* <> beautiful, toilet* *o exquisite : it WM all quite new 10 her. Th* beautiful and poetic tide of it appealed to her. Her beautiful face flu*h*d with de- light, her dark eye* were luitroui and radiant. lx>rd Chando*, looking around the opera- home, where aome of the handsomest women in Kngland were, *aid to himself that among all theae fair and noble face* there wa* not one *o beautiful a* Leone'*. She h*rselt WM qnite unconscious of the admiration *he excitad ; *he did not *ee bow the opera-glM*e* were turned to her face ; ihe could not hear people aiking : "Who i* that with Lord Chando* ? What a beautiful face, what a lovely girl ! Who i* ihe '" Lord Cbando* *aw it, and WM not only proud, but flattered by it. "My mother will yield at ouoe when *he sees her," he thought ; '^*he will be pleaeed 'that the moit beautiful woman in Kngland i* my wife," He mad* no introduction*, though many of hi* friend* bowed to him, with a secret hope that he would ask them into hi* box But he had arranged hi* own plan*. Hi* mother the proud exclusive, haughty Counted of Laniwell should be the one to introduce hi* beautiful wife to the world ; that of iuelf would be a panport for her. So that he wa* careful not I j a*k any one into hi* box, or even to exchange a word with any of the peopl* he knew. From the time the curtain wa* drawn up until th* opera ended, Lione wa* in a trance. Quite suddenly ihe had entered thi* aew and beautiful world of music nd art a world so bright anddaz* zling that it bewildered her. Lord Chandos watched her with keen delight her lustrous eyee, the intense face, the parted lip*. The opera WM one of the most beautiful "Norma" and the part Norm* was taken by the greatest prims, donna of her time. Leone'* eye* filled with tears a> thoae passionate reproache* were (ting ; she knew nothing of the language, but the music WM full of eloquence for her. She turned uddenly to her husband ; her whole soul I seemed awake and thrilling with dramatic I imtinct. "Lanoe," she said, in a low voice, "I could do that ; 1 do not mean that I could ing so well, but I could feel the jealousy ahe feel*. I could utter thoee reproache*. Something eeem* to have awoke in my aoul thai never lived before ; it is ill new to me, yet 1 understand it all ; my heart is on tire as I listen." "And you have enjoyed it '" he laid, when the curtain fell on the last grand cene. She answered him with a low ligh of perfect content. 8u it WM that to her her wedding-day Iwcame the molt marked day of her life for on it *he awoke to the knowledge of the world of art anil muiic. There WM nothing for it but to mmain at the hotel. Lord Chandoa merely laughed at the no'.ion of hi* parent* holding out tgaiust him. He wa* wonderfully (anguine. "We shall hear the carriage Hop com* , fine morning," he said, " and they will be here to seek a reconciliation." He laughed when the waiter gave him my lady'* letter ; he turned triumphantly to hi* wife. "Thi* i* from my mother," he said : "I knew ihe would rrlent.it i* probably to ME u* to Cawdor." Hut M he read it hi* face changed ; the mile and th* truimpb died from it. H* aid no word to Leone, but tore the letter into shred*. She looked on with a wistful face. "Is it from your mother, Lance ?"*h* asked. He took her in hi* arm* and ki**ed her. "My darling do not trouble about them ; you are all the world to me. They will not forgive me ; but it due* not matter. I am proud of what 1 have done. I am quit* independent. I shall take a pretty 1 little villa at Kichmond, and we shall live there until they come to their senses." "That will be giving up all the world I for me," *h* aid. "The world will he well lost, Loene. We will go to-morrow and tin. I a pretty little houee where we shall b* quite happy. Remember one thing always that my mother will love you when iheeee* you. '' "Then let heriee me now,Lance,at once," he cried, eagerly, "ifyou, think so. U hy wait? I should be more t.appy than any one else in In* world if you would do that." " It is too soon yet," he replied ; "all will be right in time." She wished that h* had offered to show her his mother'* letter but she did not Ilk* to Mk what th* content* were. Lord Chando* dare not tell her, betide* which he laughed in acorn at the idea. They mignt threaten M they would ; but he felt quite certain there WM no power on earth which could st aside hi* marriage, therefore he should not trouble himself about it. He would go to Kichmoud and look out for a house there. jasmine hung in abundance ;a smooth, green lawn on which flood a tnperb cedtr-Ues ; beautiful ground* that reached down to the river. The view* from the window* were superb. It WM worth anything to aland oo thai green lawn and watch the unset OD the Thames Leone WM delighted with it ; she had never dreamed of a home *o beautiful. Lord Cnando* furniihed it with the utmoel luxury, and there the tint few happy months of their life WM spent. Lord Chaodo* did not wish exactly that his marriage should be kept secret, but h* did not want it known to the world in general until his mother WM willing to introduce that opened to her earth ; her huiband and receive his wife. To Leone that life WM like a heaven on urrounded her with " kind observance* ;" he purchased for her a wardrobe that WM a marvel of beauty and elegance ; he found a French lady's maid, who understood all the duties of the toilet. What WM more, he had the best master* in London to instruct her. Her voice WM one of the finest ever heard, her taste for music *o great that she WM toon proficient. He taus-ht her himself to ride. There was one thing singular, every mMter wbo attended her WM aware of a great hidden power within her, they said among eao'i other that she WM something weuderfnl that the world would hear of her *om* day. There wa* an innate sense of power, a grand dramatic instinct, a keen seose of every- thing beautiful, noble and great. There were tune* when an electric flash of geums made them marvel. "It is a thousand pities," said the music master to himself, "that she has married a nobleman. If she had been dependent on her own exertion, i could have made her one of t ie tiuest lingers in the world " Agai i the driving-master said : u 1 ha 1 th* training of Lady Chacdi I would in ike h*r the tioeit artist in Eng- land." None of them had discovered the real lecret of her geniut, or what wa* tii* true fire that every now and then seemed to brighten them all as it Hashed over them. A few week* completely changed her; she had that keen, quick iniight into every- thing, that wondrous tact and intelligence whicn make some wjtnan aecm M though they were magician*. When *he went firit to River View, she had some trace* of her rustic training. Hetoresix week* had pamed over it ha i all disappeared. Lorv 4 Chando* himself had taught her ; her intonation and accent were clear and refined, her word* well chosen, her expression* always poetical and full of graoe ; no one meeting her then could have told that she had *pent her life in the rural shade* of Ka*hl*igh. New beauty cam* to her with this devel- opment of mind ; new, spiritual, poetical lovelineu ; and Lord Chando*, looking at hi* peei lees young wife, telt always quite confidant that when hi* mother saw her all would be well ihe would be proud of her. While Leone teemed to have gone straight mind. She would not think of it. She had blind reliance, blind confidence in her hufcbaod: he seemed a carelewly happy and iniitferent she could not think there wa* any thing vitally wrong Sh* WM *o unutterably happy, so wonderfully, o thoroughly happy. H*r life wa* a poem, th* sweetest love-story ever written or sung. "Why am I so happy?' she would Mk heraelf at times; "why ha* Heaven given me so much ? all I ever asked for love and happiness' ' She did not know bow u, be grateful enough. One morning in autumn, a warm, beautiful morning, when the sun shone on the rich red and brown foliage they were out together on the fair river and the tide wa* ruing and the boat floated la/ily on the stream. L*dy Cnando* wore a beautiful dress of amber and black that suited her dark, brilliant beauty to perfec- tion She lay back among the velvet cush- ions, smiling a* her eyes lingered oo the iky, th* trees, the stream. " Yon look very happy, Leone," said Lord Cnando*. " I am very happy," she replied. " I wrote to my uncle ye*terday, Lance. I should like to tend him a box filled with everything he like* belt." " Yon shall, if it pleases yon, my dar- ling." he answered. She leaned over thi side of the beat watching the water, drawing her hand through tie clear stream. " Happy," she repeated, rather to heraelf than to him ; " I can safely say this, that I have had so much happiness since I have been here that if 1 were wretched all my life afterward I should still have had tar more happiness than fall* to th* lot of many people." She remembered those words in after year* ; and ahe owned to heraelf that they had been most perfectly true. The few month* paued at !Uver View had been most perfectly happy no *hide of care had come over her, no doubt, no fear nothing that chilled the warmth of her lore, nothing thit marred it* perfect truit. In come live* there 3cme*a pause of ilent, intense bluw just before the storm, even M the wind rest* before the hurri- cane. "You make me very prond, Leone," laid Lord Chando*, " When you tell me of your happiness ; I can only wy may it be lik* the light of heaven eternal. " (TO BK CONHNCID. ) THE LATEST CRAZE.

Set hi* marriage aside. They were mad to think o! such a thing. From tima to time strange looking docu- ment* cam* to In ii ; he thrust them aside without even looking at them. He only laughed at the notion. Part him from l.eooe. It wa* not in th* power of any one on earth to do it He never mentioned the matter to Leone at all; it WM not worth while to dis- turb her. They htd been to Richmond, and had I. uiiil there a villa so beautiful it seemed to have been built (or them a quaint, picturesque, old Koglieh house, full of pretty nook* and corner*, with large latticed window*, ever which roaei and band ; perhaps the happiest hour of the day WM that. The windows of the pretty breakfast room looked over a wilderness of flowers ; the windows were a'way* open. The soft, sweet summer air came in, parting the long, white curtains, bringing with it the breath of rows and the odor of a hundred flow- ers. She looked as fresh and fair M the morning itself. Lord Chendoa wondered more and more at her radiant loveliness. Her soul WM awake now, and looked out of her dark eye* into the world she found so beautiful. Then Lord < 'hando* went up to town for a few houri while Leone took her different lessons and studied. They met again at lunch, aud they spent th* afternoon out of- doors. An Ideal life an idyl in itself Leone, while she lived, retained a vivid re- membrance of those afternoons, of th* shad* of th* deep woods, of th* ripple of the riv- er through the green bank* of the valley* where flower* and fern* grew, of the long alleys where the pleasant shads msde a perfect paradise. She remembered them the golden glow, the fragrance, the music ot them, remained wilt her until she died. All the moit pleasant time* of our live* ar* dream*. Then they dined together ; and in the evening Lord Chando* took his beautiful young wife to tho opera or the play, to concert or lecture. " A* *oon M I am of *tfe." he would say, " I sh til Mtk* you on the Continent ; there i* no education we get like that we get by traveling one year on the Continent ; and you will be at home on every subject, Leone," he would say : and Leone longed for the time to come. " \\ hen 1 am of age," was hi* universal cry. When Leone expressed any anxiety or sorrow ovei his separation from hi* parents, he would laugh and answer : " Never mind, ::<y darling, it will be all right when I am of age. Never mind, dar- ling, you will have my mother asking for the pleasure of knowing you then the table* will IM turned ; let the great world once you, and you will be worshiped for your beauty, your grace, and your ulent." She looked wistfully at him. " Do they love beauty *o much in your world. Lance? she asked. " Yam, M a rule, a beautiful face has a wonderful influence. I hsvs known women without a tithe of your beauty, Leone, rise from quit* third rale society to find a place among the most exclusive and noblest people in the land. Your face would win tor you, darling, an entrance anywhere." " The only thing I want my face to do," " (he said, " it i* to pleas* your mother." "And th it, when she *e*i it. it is quit* sure to do," recited the lover husband. "Lance," said Lady Chando*, -'whatihall we do if your parents will neither forgive us nor see us?" "It will be very uncomfortable, "said Lord Chando*; "but we shall have to bear it. It will not much matter so far M worldly matursare concerned; when I am of age I hall hav* a separate and very harutaom* for tun* of my own.

NAPOLEON LOVED HER. Mil. ike r Brillia allll lives. ar*4 nt Aere<%s PARK, Sept. 28 In this revival of Na- poleonic interest it is singular that more attention ha* n it been given to one of th* many piecee of feminine bric-a brae belong ing to the great Corsican. Mil*, tleorgee is an interesting hold over from empire days. Her name WM mentioned for the IMI time in 1H67. She WM suppueed to be .lead, and yet u appear* that she U alive yet near the very place where she WM born 17-*:. Her right name i* Marguerite .loeephine Wemuier. She went on th* stage when 5 year* old, and followed th* old Napoleon through all his campaign. In IVK ihe WM the moet brilliant actress of the French corned >, and with Talma, tae great tragedian, she played, at the re- quest of her imperial lover, before an audience of king* at Dresden. "You shall appear before a 'parterre' ot crowned heads," said Napolen, "if 1 have to declare war againat the whole of Kurope." And he kept hii word. Alexander, the czar of Russia, wanted her to go to Moscow, hi* capital, with him. She answered that Bonapart-, the Corsican, was good enough for her and truly *He accompanied him during the disastrous campaign of Ruwia. Not a word wa* heard from her after the tall of the first empire aud lately she WM reported living n*ar Hayeux, Orne, her place of birth. Sh* is 107 year* old and apparently satisrie.l with the obscure life she has been leading dur- ing more than a half century. The only souvenir ah* has kept of her glorious past is the hat worn by Napoleon in the cele- brated days of " Veiutemiare" i lune U! and 13, IT'i.v. when the French consul received the convention from the hands of the revolutionary partiee led by Kobee- pierre. Mile, lieorge* is very religious and no on* who can see her going to th* church very Sunday could suspect that she ha been the mistress of Napoleon. Sh* abandoned her itag* name, being called by her acquaintance* the old Mrs. Weiiimer. Such i* life ! And to think that Napoleon WM jealou* of her ! She ran away tot.ermauy with Duport, a eooietaire of the French comedy. The emperor was o mad that he ordered the whole polio* of France to look for the fugitive. Fouche. th* chief of the imperial police, did hi* beet to bring her back to Pans, but all to no avail. She WM jealou* herself of Mil*. Ninas, another f ctres* belonging aleo to th* Freooh comedy. It is too bad that Mil*. Ueorges never could write even a single Utter. Her cor- respondence would have been very interest- ing. She doe* not talk about th* past and th* curate of her parish doe* not suspect that he has sucn a distinguished pa nh iun*r in his uangregalion.
