Behold the moon, the fil"er moon, The empress of the night. That sheds a radiance o'er the earth And fills me with delight. When the sun has done its mission, And is hidden from our view, Then the moon, like an orbed lamp. Conies up in the azuro blue; And glitters on the bosom Of tlie briny oopbu wave. To guide the weary mariner, Whilst winds and waters rave. She cheers the faithful shepherd AVhile with his fleecy charge; And monthly round the earth she goes Although so very large. She bghts extensive cities. And gleams upon their towers And makes all things like dreamland Down in yon sylvan bowers. She shines the same upon the mount With its grand and lofty domes. As on the humble village With its free and happy homes. TJes, this serenest moon. She looks as calmly down Upon the bloody battle field As on the victor's crown. When the Frost King baa adorned The stately wood with gems. Theii the moon's reflecting raya, A eharming beauty lends Till my heart is filled with raptnte With the delightful soene, That looks Uke fome gay fairyiand. Or some mysterious drtam. She adds a graceful beauty To the icebergs chilly height; And cheers the lonely Esquimaux la the dreary winter aigfat. She brings up faded m e mo ri es "To me when I'm alone Of ties that have been brcdcm With friends I've met at bcoa.

W: iMnWiAL /hurras XXL That {attffal dn\j night, deatinod to be marked for eTef in the calendars of Lady Dangnrfield and Captain BedmoDd O'Dotoiell was fated lika- wise to be marked wit^ a red enMB in that of 8ir Arthur Trrgensa, 'Sir Ailhar Trngenn^as ran tbe" length of nia tether •' Lord Ctiyslaud |iad calmly Mid to himself it is hi^li time to ptdl liim short ap.' For Lord Ba^s'.and to decree wan to act. This Tfty uight Sir Arthur shonld rocelve iii* 'short tip.' 'What is this about a letter from Cornwall and your departure to-mor- uxm, 5ir Arthur I heard you tellhii; Ldidy Dangerfield at dinner, but did not i|uite cabch 'four drift. BaBtneiis I euppose.' Buoiness, yes â€" business too lone deferred. Penwalder wrote me a week a$ro,urging me to return. There's fever among my pfople, irtning ac- cidents and mucli distress. It is grea- tly to uy discredit that I have neglect- ed my duty so long.' â- Humph I then you positively leave us to-morrow ' 'i positively leave to motrow. I wish I haj gone last week.' 'bo do 1,' tiotd Ruysland Spoke gravely, and with tin wonted enerc^ 'so do I, with ail my sotiij For the last week Scarswood had been uo place for yon.' 'My Lord ' 'It is high time for me to speakâ€" a false delicacy has restrained me too long. I would indeed prove unwor- thy the dying trust oi my dearest and truest, my best friend, your dead fa ther, if I held my peace longer. To night I will speak, be the conse- quecces what they mayâ€"to-night I will do my duty, however distasteful that duty muy be. Long before you return to this house, if return you are mad enough te do, I and Cecil would have gone, and it is neither my wish nor my intention that we three shall eyer meet again. My daughter's health demands change â€" she is ftill- ing into low spirits â€" I will take her to Scotland to the Countess of Stra- thearn's for the winter. I merely mention this that you may make your taiewells to her finally when you part to morrow.' A flush rose up over the blonde face of the Cornisbman, a deep per- mauent flnsh his lips compressed, his eyes did not leave the table 'I see I do not take you by sur- prise,' his lordship coldly went on I see you are prepared for what I would say. How bitterly I have been disappointed in youâ€" of all I had ex- pected from your father's son â€" of â€" I may say it now on the eve of parting for everâ€" of the pKns I had formed â€" of the hope i 1 had chemshed â€" it would be idle to speak to-uigLt. Hopes and plans are at an end â€" your father's dying wish binds me uo longer, since you have been the first to disregard it. But still for your father's sake, I will speak. You have deliberately chosen to be- come infatuated with a woman of whom you know nothing, except that she is your iiJerior in station â€" de- liberately chosen to throw us all over, and full in love witb a designing ad- venturess.' That deep, angry red still burned on the baronet's face, his lips were still resolutely compressed, his eyes still fixed upon the table. At the last words, however, he suddenly looked up. 'Designing adventuress ' he re- peated, slowly. 'You use strong words.Lord Euysland. Of course you do not tnakc such a statement on mere suspicicu.' 'I do not. I condemn no one ou mere suspicion. He took from his pocket-bo?k a lit- tle packet ot papers, and spread two of them out on the table. Be kind enough to glance over these, Sir Arthur. They are the testimo- nials of character, and the references given by Miss Herucasile in London to Lady Dangerfield.' btill dead siltnt. the young Cur- uishman took tlieu. The testimo- nials were carefully worded, the re- lereuces were to a Mrs Lawt^m of Wilton Crescent, and a Jonas Wood- widge, Esquire, of St. John's Wood. He read and pushed them back. 'Well,' he said in a compressed voice. 'Bead this also.' The Earl pushed another letter across to him. 'I wrote that, as you see, to my solicitor, ask- mg him to call upon Mrs. Lawton. You have read it. Now read this answer.' He pushed a third letter across. For the third the baronet read 'Lincoln's Ixm, Londoh, July 29th. 'Mt Lord â€" In compliance with your demand. I called at Wilton Cres- ceLt at the number given. No Mrs. Lawton lived there- I next called at St. John's Wood a Mr. Jonas Wood- widge had resided their abont a year ago, but has emigrated with his whole family to Australia. This » all the informatian I have been able to ob- tain. 'I air, my brd, etc.* Sir Arthar laid down the letter. The flush had faded from hu faca, leaving him very pale. 'It is pUin to be seen by any one not wilfbliy Uind, that the references arc forged, by Miss Heroeastie, of course, for her own ends. I tall ybo Um sinpte tratb â€" to- morrow I shall tell it to all the hooae â€"to-morrow Misa Hemeastle quits Scarswood, and for ever. To-night I warn yon, Arthar, my lad â€" nay son almost Pause while it is yet time â€" grre op tliia, designing woman, and for etsr. Io not bring disgrace on your dead father â€" on yonr honoured riiiiae â€" and lifelong muery on yonr •elf. Go toComwailâ€" go abroadâ€" do anythiogf ooly sm Wm Hemeastle no aore.' TtM earl% voiMi btv/kf-f^em a*, toally bosky in the hitcaiity of bi^ emotioo â€" in the petfaetioo of hs â€" aenng. iyad still Sir Artluir sat like H« roM and grasped tha JMinf man's band, bir ArUtar rose tooâ€" qaita white now, and kx^ed him fi^ m the faM. 'One moment, my lordâ€" then good- bye if yon #ill. A'l you have said I have deserved â€" uo one can feel how I haye fallen firom honour and man- hood more than I. Whether it is still too late to repair my g^^at faait must rest with yuu. What I have returned to England for â€"what I came Scarswood forâ€" you must sorely kuow. It wa^to see and know Lady Cecil Clive. and if she could so far honour me. make Ler my wife. ' The tiound that battered old organ, the earl's heart, guva ut the words he was saved 1 But his immovable face remained as immovalle as ever. *Yon are but mortal, Arthar, and Miss Ueincastle is^a most attractive woman. Without possessiug a^§iugle claiiii to beauty, she is a si^ulu' to fascinate men. wherj the ^rfect face of a goddess might fail. She is a Citcu, whose pow^r all must feel. It id not too Is te, I hope, I trust; and yet Cecil is very proud. If she can forgive and accept you, I can with all my heart. I shall not say good bye, then, but good night and au rcvoir.' He then left before Sir Artliur could spuak â€" left him alone in the brightly lit emply drawiug riKJin." He stood ir-reoolute, then turned and followed the earl fi'oin the room. Ndw was the timc-^now or never lot hiiu hear his fate at once. Somethius lay lil'e a stone in his bvcast â€" the dark, be- guiling fice, the soft flute voice of Bel«n Uerncttstle was before his eyes, iu his cars. Of all the wo'.nen on earth the was the cue wotnan he would have chosen fur his wile, and Destiny IiaJ written that he must uever look on her face again. Ill passing the length of the draw- ing ro'im to the door, he had to go by the ti ly boudoir, whire on the even- ing of the theatricals, he had followed Lady Cecil. The curtains were only partly drawn, and seatel withiu, her hands folded listlessly iu her lap, her eyes fixed on the dim starlight, he saw once more, as on that evening, the earls daughter. As on that even- ing, he 6we[t back the curtain, and stood, tall and dark, by her side. Her half-uttered exclamation died awaj' B-fore she could speak one word he was saying what he had c;)mo to say^hurriedly, iucoherentij' â€" his face all set and stern, looking as un- like a lover as can well be couci.ivcd. He WHS unworthy of herâ€" infinitely unworthy he esteemed and aJmirod her with all his heart it had been hip dying father's wish â€" he had her fath- ers conseut. Would Lady Cecil Clive do him tlie honor to bccumo his wife? She looked up at the la.st words, flushing red in the darkness. •My father's conoont.' she repented slowly. 'Sir Arthur, tell me the tratli. My father has been talking to vou to-night I Ho has â€" oh how shah I say it â€" he has ordered you to follow me Liere and say this ' 'On my sacred honor, no.
