To ail indif , < ferent observer, he presented the aspect of one J i who was simply indulging in the pleasures of | I tobacco smoke; but such was not the case.? j ? The house he occupied ran round three sides i s of a square court, the fourth being taken up by | i the wall of the next house. On the opposite i ( side ot the court, and on the same floor as that ? occupied by himself, was the apartment of a working-girl. This young person was remark- < ably pretty, and bad been often remarked by 1 the young artist, with at first only the admiring eye of a painter, but afterwards with more ten- ! der interest. i She was a very industrious girl. She rose i early, almost with the sun, and went to bed late, i as the young artist knew, for he often noticed 1 her candle burning until midnight Almost t alone in the world, without friends, save a iew i students like himself, Charles Dupont felt him- f self irresistably drawn towards that happy smi- j ling face which had so often formed the charm of his garret window. Of late, the young man t seemed unusually fond of smoking. Every mo- ^ mcnt not taken up by his art was occupied in ' inhaling the fragrance of the Indian weed. He i scarcely ever went out now, his walks in search t of scenery were abandoned, and never joined t his more noisy companions at those public t estaminets where the young hopes of France < spend their hours in playing billiards, cards, dominoes, in drinking unnumbered glasses of ( beer, and in blackening short clay pipes?a < perfect scienco in the city of Paris. But then, i Charles Dupont was in love, and much as the J 1 * "* "'orlillv mav sneer, the influ- t CUIU-UI'UIICU lllltl ence of this passion, when sincere and pure, is < always beneficial to a young man. The change ] it produced in Charles, was that always inci- ( dent to elevated and superior minds, generally t the simplest. lie had no care now for noisy , pleasures. His dream was to he near to the [ unknown idol of his heart, to sit by her, to read , to her, to talk to her, and as these could not ^ be, he was satisfied to gaze on her at a dis- , tance. Plans upon plans were laid by the young , man, to make the acquaintance of his fair mis- 1 tress ; but, like all sincere lovers, in the outset, ( ho was timid. He remarked with pleasure, ( that she had very few visitors, and those always ? of her own sex. None ever escaped his jealous t eye, who entered that room, and he never saw a man enter it. Charles sighed, however, deeply, for ho too saw no chance of making his way to the side of his beloved. One day, it was in the month of May, the young girl stood at her window, putting some t pretty flowers in water. She was dressed better than usual, and had got up a little later.? Charles Dupont was more struck than ever by the sweet smile that sat upon her face, find by her really singular beauty. An idea flashed across his mind. He took off his working blouse, passed his hand through his hair, took his hat, and went out of his room, locking the door behind him. He moved rapidly and boldl ly to the door of the young girl. Once 111 fronof it, he halted. Charles was brave; and would have t efended a barricade with cool determination ; but there he hesitated. Mustering cour age, however, he knocked gently. The instanl he had done so, he would have given the world to have been away, and his heart beat so violently he could almost hear its throbbings. "What is it I can do for Monsieur ?" said the young girl, smiling and blushing, as on opening the door she recognised her handsome neighbor the artist. "Mademoiselle," said Charles with considerable hesitation, "I fancied by your flowers and your dress, that to-day was your fele. I am your neighbor, and I thought I might take the liberty to come and wish you a happy one." "Monsieur is very good. We are old neigh bors, it is true thougli we have never spoken?" "It has not been for the want of wishing on my part," exclaimed the artis eagerly. The young girl looked at Charles. There was sc much modesty, resigned and respectful affection in the expression of his face, that she could not for a moment confound him with the usual mass of young men, who, caught by her pretty face, had sought to make her acquaintance. She held out her hand. "Since we are neighbors, let us be friends," said she. "Oh, thank you," exclaimed Charles, with ^ i .. _< it*?1_ a oursi 01 genuine gruuuiue. muuciuuiocjuo, you do me good. 1 have no friends. I scarcely ever see a human face which has any sympathy for nie. If Mademoiselle would only let me paint her portrait, it would give me so much pleasure." "Hut, Monsieur, it would be encroaching on your goodness," replied Constance, who, however, looked excessively pleased. "You accept then V "Why, Monsieur, I never had my portrait painted. How could I refuse I" "We would begin to day, but this isyour fete. Would Mademoiselle allow me the honor of taking her out for a walk !" Constance, after a moment's hesitation, accepted. When one is young, one makes friends so easily,especially in France; and then Charles had the talent of making himself liked by everybody. He entered her little room, so neat, so cleun, so pretty, it made him s:gh, as he compared it with his iwn bachelor den, where no woman's hand had for many months disturbed either dust or cobwebs. In ten minutes Constance was ready. She put on a nice bonnet and a neat shawl, the fruits of her industry, and then tripped down stairs happy as a bird, for we may as well reveal the secret. Constance had for more than a month longed as much to make the pale young artist's acquaintance, as lie had to make hers. They made for the Boulevards mechanically, as every body does, followed them some distance, crosseil the magnificent I'lace do la Concord, the finest Place in the world, entered the Jhamps Elysces, and by common consent nade lor the Bois de Boulogne. It was a love y day. I5tit tliougn tney liaa doiii seen many such, yet they thought they never had. They scarcely spoke. Walked arm in arm, side by side, and in the wood hand-in-hand. Once CJharles asked Constance it' she enjoyed hersell". "I am so happy," she replied, raising her love-like eyes beaming with happiness towards rim. There was something in the words, in the ook, which made the young man's heart beat ivith intense emotion. Thus passed the day n occasional conversation, in constant walking intil both felt hungry. They then entered the louse of a humble traileur, and the young ar;ist offered his fair friend a very plain dinner, jut which neither would have exhanged for the easts of the Palais-National. Happy age! haply feelings! happy Charles! happy Constance! Towards dusk they returned to Paris, and lie young man insisted, on the occasion of the ? /* X 1! I 4. 4l.- ll L JirrsJtie, upon laKing ner 10 uiu inquire.? l'hey selected a moderate-priced seat, and here igain, the thing being rare to both, enjoyed hemselves exceedingly. On leaving the thenre they walked quietly homo and parted, to hink with rapture on the happiest day which ,'ither had ever yet spent. The acquaintance so pleasantly made was sontinued. Every morning they nodded to )iie another from their windows, and about nid-day, Constance gave the artist a sitting.? Several times, too, Charles brought in sketches o show her. and then in the evening he would jet books from a cabinet dc lecture and read to icr. Every day their happiness seemed to intense. They learned each other's good qualiics. Charles was well-educated, well-read, .vith a fund of anecdote, and rich stores of inowledge. Constance knew little, but she vas an apt scholar. She had a quick intelligence, a noble and generous heart, and she vus pure and innocent as a child. For some weeks the lovers, for such they iow were, went on happier, each day than the ast. T.i e portrait made little progress, because Jonstance could spare but little time, and besause Charles talked more than ho painted.? Still it went on. At the end, however, of a nonth, Constance remarked that Charles was )aler than usual, and his spirits seemed gone, le brought no book in the evening, and went iway early to bed She questioned him, poor jirl, for she was deeply anxious. She feared 10 was falling ill, that he was going to die, and hen, poor orphan child, what was to become of her. For CanstanceT loved him dearly, as women only love rrien who are above the com' men mass; men of mind and intellect, though r women who can love such men are more rare 1 and precious than aught else in the world. ; She watched narrowly the painter's face, and ; the wild eye and hagg.lrd looks made her see ' that the sufferings of Charles were more ment tal than any thing else. The mind was ill at ease. She offered to go in and work in his I room, while he painted, but he stammered out - some excuse, and declined. It was clear then he had a secret, and woman's curiosity was at t once at work. She questioned him, she coax1 ed, she was cross with him. hnt all in vain. h? returned but vague answers to all shcf Said.? Constance became uneasy; what could be the ! matter? He became paler every da?. and [ came less to see her. One day she heard him leave his room and go hurriedly down stairs. She ran out to speak to him, to ask when he would come back, but he was gone. His Jcejr I was in his door. It was a miserable gar ret/ i containing nothing save a few paintings and &? 1 mattress on the floor. Not a chair, not a scrap of any thing in the shape of clothes or food.? Constance rushed out of the room, turned the key, and gained her own lodgings, threw lier1 self on her bed and sobbed aloud. Charles was starving. A few pawn-broker's tickets 1 lying on the mantle-piece had more than anything else convinced her of this fact. The pain and suffering now endoted by Constance is not to be described. Her feelings were worked up to an intense pitch of excitement. From finding her affection lessened at the discovery of the student's poverty, she found it much increased. An unearthly interest seemed now attached to the name of Charles. She felt his talents to be great, and in her heart waft >... sure that. he would rise to competence and fame. Bat at that. nfoment he was clearly starving. What was she to do ? She wouliii have rushed to him, have told him all, and bid sharo her humble meal, use her little savings, and thus gain time to work ; but she feared tor wound his pride. He had hitherto kept his own secret, he therefore wished his sufferings to be concealed from her. In vain she thought of any project for relieving his misery,* wiihout betraying her full knowledge of it. The poor girl wept bitterly at her own want of iuventive genius. At last, however, an idea flashed across her _ mind. She caught up some work she had finished the night before, and putting it in a neat i parcel, hurried down stairs, taking with her al! so the half finished portrait of herself by Charles. She gained the street, and made towards the habitation of a lady for whom she had been working. Madame Pellissier was a young widow, rich, courted, and happy. With every luxury and comfort around her, which wealth could give, she deserved her well-being, for she made good use of it. Fond of pleasure, she was even still fonder of giving pleasure to others. Many were the poor families which owed to her relief from misery and despair. Madame Pellissier would always give up the most charming day's amusement, to find out the details of some tale of sorrow which had been told her; and she felt, when her morning had been thus profitably spent that the afternoon passed more gayly, more quickly, more delightful than usu! al. "Welcome, Constance," she said as the working-girl was ushered into her breakfast room. I was waiting impatiently for you- My cousin Pierre is coming to take me for a drire in the Bois de Boulogne by and by, and I want , to wear that cloak, which, no doubt you have made charmingly." "I hope it will please you, Madame," replied Constance, taking a proffered seat "What is that yon have in that Bquare par< eel child ? and why are you so out of breath and so pale ?" "It is a whole history," said Constance lowing her eyes upon the ground. "Let me have it. You know I am vastly curious. Take this cup of chocolate, and tell it to me at once." Constance, taking courage from the emergency. told, in as few words as Dossible. her history. She narrated how she made the acquaintance of the painter, and then how, alter nearly a month's delay, she had found out hia secret. Madame Pellissier listened with rapidly awakened interest. "And what would you have me do, child V' said she, when the yorung girl had told her story. "Madame, Charles Dnpont is very proud.? Relief in money he would not receive, but if you would only be so good as to sit for your portrait to him, you would add deeply to that debt of gratitude which Constance already owes you." * "With pleasure," cried the young widow.? "Rut it seems the case is pressing. Give mer hia address, and I will send round to him at once. But I cannot nav him for the portrait until it is finished, lias he anything I can buy of him i" "He has several little pictures in his room," replied Constance, in a tone of deep emotion. "Go home, child, and be satisfied. My cousin shall rule alone to-day. I will write round to your protege at once.'* "Hut, Madame, not a word of me." "Never fear, Constance ; I know your good little heart" [To be Continued.} Monsters of the Deep.?A Shark, of the Ti? ?? nvAnaiir'mnr aloi'Oti fool nino ineliae gvl BJjN3L
