There was a certain heart sickening look ?bout the seedy stranger as Mr. Talhol t??l.l liim he was in need ol no help in his warerooms, which caused that gentleman to look up again from his ledger and eye the young man more closely. With a halt' audible sigh, and with an air of hopeless, utter despondency, the <>b ject of his setutiny had turned to leave the counting room. "Stay a moment, young man ? what can .you dot" I have never been accustomed to any kind of business except that of secretary, but I possess an excellent education, and suHi cient energy to undertake and persevere in Any pursuit that may oiler itself. Thero was a certain something in the young man's manner that interested the good Mr. Talbot. So ho told him to take a seat beside him and answer a few .pics tions. The young man pleased Mr. Talbot. A mutual confidence springing up between them, the stranger confided to the good merchant his pressing necessities. lie was a I'olc by birth; he had been despoiled of home, fortune and country at one blow. He had sorved as private sec retary for several years to an Knglish nobleman, but a misunderstanding occurring l>o ^wcen them, ho had come to this country, and had been here several months, but not being able to get anything to do. ho had -spent his Inst penny, an I had not lasted food for two days. Mr. Talbot did not read him a lecture on the uncertainly of human prospects, but Input his hand into his pocket, and handing a tolerably well-filled wallet to the stranger, bid him go and tnako himself first comfortable with good cheer, and then presentable with good clothes, and then to return to the counting room; that he would take him in his own employ for the present, and that the contents of the wallet was but a part of his salary. With an oxpiession of gralitudo the stranger left Mr. Talbot, wallet in hand. There was something in tho lustre of his large, earnest gray eyes that told tho worthy merchant ho had not misplaced confi dence. Jldo Sternberg entered into his new oecu dntion with a zeal and comprehension they showed Mr. Talbot lw.d not over estimated either his moral or mental capacity. Sternberg was employed to write all Mr. Talbot's most confidential letters, and to keep bis most private accounts; foi the merchant at that time was deeply involved in several complicated sneeulntions nil ..f I ** * vy' which, if successful, woro to benefit the whole system of commerce. After several months of umemitting la"Lor, the schemes ended in n sudden failure. After honorably satisfying the calls of creditors who were involved through the unfortunate speculations, Mr.Talbot was enabled to continue his regular business, though ou a very much reduced scale. "A professional friend of mine-wishes a secretary; will you accept the situation, li do? The salary is good?far belter than anything I can ofl'er you, for just now, alas! I can ofl'er you nothing. 1 mentioned you to my friend, telling him he could not find one moro capable and more iincxcoplioitn hie in every way than yourself."' "I cannot sufficiently thank you for jour good opinion of mo and of your care foi me," replied Sternberg, warmly. "I will accept your friend's ofl'er, whatever it may be, ou your recommendation, and 1 hope the result will prove your good word for uic not an unjust one." Mr. Kedtield, the professional gentleman, with whom Sternberg now look up his abode, was a lawyer of much repute, practicing in the city, and dwelling in much style a short ride in the country. "Take care of yourself, lido, my boy," said Mr. Talbot, -bakingSternberg's extended band and l.inL-inr* niw.n 1.1 ' - "J ??l? lM(-' fondness of a father. "I hope yon will not forgot your old -friend* for your new ones," said Miss Talhot, with a pretty blush. "Father and I shall expect to see you as often as you can make it convenient to give us a call." Fenny Talbot's bright eyes lingered with hiru as ho entered his new abode. They looked up from the. paper on him, day after day, as it lay before him upon his desk. They accompanied him in i ll his outgo ings and incomings; their light had become the guiding star of his life. Hut yet in his numerous visits to the nreichant's house, lido preserved the same respectful distance of behavior toward the blight Fanny that had marked his conduct from the first. Mr. Talbot was once more prosperous, and learning wisdom from experience, lie pursued tbc beaten path of wealth, leaving chimeras to the uninitiated. It had grown to 1*3 toward the close of summer when lido Sternberg entered the office of Mr. Jtcdfiehl one morning somewhat later than usual, and told him lie could no longer remain in his employ. In vain 1 Mr. He 1 fluid urged him for a reason. lie would give none, merely saying he hail made np his mind to go to South America.

Mr. llcdlk Id stood beside tho dying couch , ' the man who was lo liavo been the bus- , mil of his daughter. "I am torry to see you so low, my poor uguslus,'" said Mr. ltedfield kindly. "Oh, speak not to ine! It was I who ( nbbed Isabel," exclaimed iho young man , ildly. All were horrified at these words. His lother and sister imputed them to thedeliri in of disease; but when ho grew more calm, id solemnly repeated his asseveration, they er forced to believe him. Itefore his death, he narrated all the parculais of his unnatural deed. It seetus that the proud Isabel, from the mo the handsome Sternberg entered hor tlior's house, had smiled less graciously [ on her afiianccd, Augustus Raymond. j lung to madness with jealousy, ho had , ulched tliein togotlior, had heard Isabel, 10 evening previous, appoint the grovo as meeting place, that slio hads oinething ;ry particular to say to Steinberg.

Perfectly infuriated with passion, Augusts Raymond stood before her upon Stern-) ?rg's departure, und reproached Iter, more ( ku a demon than a man, with her pcrti ly. Her manner was so haughty .\n<i indigint, that insane with jealousy and passion, ar discarded lover plunged tho fatal steel ' to her fair bosom, and then dashing into ie thicket made his escape with tho cun ng caution that eluded the eyes of all, and i eking tho (earful secret up in his own J east, he escaped without being suspected ; en of the foul deed.
