Paul Smith was a poor old man.?Ie hud a back room in tho top of a loisy lodging-house, whero he slept lights, aud munched his meals of >read and cheese (or Bologna sausage, vhen h? could afford it) and from vheuce he crept, as harmless and unloticed as a fly, down to tho corner >f the dignity street, to the little nusic shop of Carl Bermann, a Ger nan settler somewhere in Soho. There ho tinkered all day on broken violins and other musical instrunents, never absenting himself for a ! nornent, 6ave on Saturday afternoons, j vhen he went to the house of a small l'rtdesman to teach the ]?iano to three r four very stupid girls. Sundays, 10 curled up in his den, and amused , limself, nobody knew how, until j londay morning. There arc a few ccrfainticR; ho ncer went to church; but he picked agged. children from the pavement , dien they fell near him, and gave hem halfpennies when he had any; harcd his dinner often with a manly, dirty cur, who acted as a sort of scape-valve ibr the ill-temper of half he men.and women, in the street;. , nd he roused Pat Ryan from his lidnight snooze in the gutter many ( cold night, and literally carried him j iome to Norab and the "children." Af for his honesty, a neighbor ralarked, ''if ho found five shillings in ho stroct, he'd wear out ten shillings rorth of strength and shoe-leather to nd the owner." One cold night, Paul was returning I'ora his work, with a loaf of broad nder one arm and a violin under the ther, when at tho street door he tumbled, and nearly fell over a?mull bject crouched on the step. "Bless us! What's this?" cried 'aul, striving to regain bis equilibrium ' Only mo sir!" and the small ob-. jet stood up, and bJl-amo a very pale, bin, and ragged child. "Are you hurt, little girl?" "No, sir." "What are you doing oat hero in be cold ?" 'Nothing." "Why don't you go homo?" "I ain't got any!" "Dour mc! Where's your mothr!" "In heaven!" At this, Paul was dumbfounded; and ccing that great tears were stealing own the child's wan face, he thrust he violin under tho arm which had eld the bread, and putting tho other round the tiny figure, ho said, "Oh ! 've got a nomo?a really jolly place! ? I >1 unit; up iuiu aeu. And this is tho way old Paul'camo o lmve a neat little housekeeper, and ) be baying calico gowns and shoes ut of his poor Salary. People wondered at the sight of his hunt old man, hitherto alone and neared for, now walking daily to his rork with his hand upou the shoulcr of the odd, yet pretty-faecd girl, , joking at her with hono6t pride tightening his eyes, and laughing as ] md as she whenever tho joke came | i. But old Paul looked unconcerned" < traded the questions of the curious, ; nd learned lo lovo nothing better in j ais world than tho little wolf) Camit- , L. There wero many, many days, < hen rheumatism drew Paul up by | le Are in the old back attic, and drew , ic very last penny out of the dilapi- | ated old purse; but brave little Ca- < lilln, never forgetting how near i cath she had heen on the bitter \ ight of their meeting, always found < word to ward off huiigcr, and cour- j go to keep them both bright until ] clp came. 1 Tno winter 01 iaoi cnmo in iikc a on, as many a poor wretch well re- i lembcrs, and with the first blast 'aul's enemy. Ho turned ono night i sad face from his warm corner in ] lertmann's shop among tho violin.^ nd hobbled tip the cold street, feel- ; ig the approach of the old rhe'imat-ji : pains, and wondering what would : j eeome of his poor little Camilla. His excitement carried him up to, be last flight of stairs, and hearing lamilla's voice, he paused to rest and 3 listen. She was singing in that 1 weet and expressive manner which mdo her voice seem to him the sweetst and purest he had over heard. At i he end of the stanza sho took breath, nd another voice said, "Child, you stonish mo. Jiithor I am a poor ldge of music, or elso j'our voice is he finest I over heard. You are 1 . 4* _ , _ igtit in prciering 11s cuiuvauon 10 nything else.1' An electric thrill shot through old 'aul's frame, and quickened his blood o a rapidity that quite carried away lis rheumatic pains, and in a twinking he was up stairs aud iu his little ,ttic. He was terrified at the sound of nan'B voice, hut the night of a handome rnd polished .gentleman, with liamond studs in his SDOwy linen, a icav}* ring upou hia dainty white mod, unquestionable broadcloth up?n hi3 back, in close conversation vlth his Camilla, v.-hoea wondrous jeautv had of late startled even his lull perception, was more than Paul :ould bear. He wa6 a very small man?had ' >een in his youtli?and now that > CirueV. withering fingers had touched iim, ho was shriveled and dried like 7ithored fruit, but in his virtuous iniignation ho puffed out to his fullest Detent, and in his falsetto voice piped, 'Camilla, how dare you invito any >ne here ?" "Oh, Uncle Paul! This is Mr. flavoring, a gentleman whose?whoso "Whose mother she saved from t) death. Yoor niece, sir, a few days .e since, was passing through onr crowded thoroughfare, when my mother's v carriage drew up to the pavement, w The horses were restive, and bidding * the driver, attftd to them, she began to descend unassisted. Her foot was si on the step, when the animals sprang ei forward and flung her violently lrom b her foothold. But for the audden act g of your niece, who received my mo- a thor in her strong young amis, the n fall might have proved a fatal one. k My mother at once entered a shop, b and keeping your niece near her, sent p forme. I came to-day, at my moth- r< erVearnest request, to express our ti heartfelt gratitude, and to offer f w "You needn't offer Camilla a penny, eir. -She will never suffer" while I've ai a pair of hands to work fyr her,'' said di Paul. b "lou mistake inc. I do not "wish e: toinsuityou, but would raise this tl child from her poverty aDd educate tl her, that slio might be of uso to'you ol and to herself, and bccome a refined E woman. Don't let your selfish love ti: stand in her light, and shut it oat from bqr. She sings like a prims t1 donna, and wishes to study music." ai The great lustrous eyes of the tl child turned imploringly to her s< strange guardian. v "Lor', Camilla, I can't stand in > your way. I know you're every bit a u born lady, if your poor forsaken mo- y ther did die in a hovel among wretch- n cs who turned her child ifoto the cold n aa soon as the breath had left her ,r body; but deary me, I can't part''3 with 3*ou." ft "And you shall not. Let me save -t< little Camilla, and she shall never d leave you, but shall prove 'a blessing a to you in your old age." Paul could say nothing, and the n strange visitor departed, with no fur- h ther injury to his darling that an elo- w quent glance from an expressive pair ti of eyes. J Thon irom tbe gloomy lodging- d house, to a snug set of chambers a ft few streets off, went Paal and CamiU la, and the poor wretch began to look like another being, in bis cleaner m work-clothes and Sunday suit, earned li from increased number of pupils pro- ^ vided through the willing assistance ci of their philanthropical friend Ua- ti vering. .11 Day after day Camilla went witlii n her books to the teacher bo strangely provided; and after a little time, there Q came days when passers paused to t listen to the warbling, of the rich j( young voice. 'y When she had been there six months < uho entered one morning, to find i, Mrs. Clavcring in the music-master's room. ' . , t "What do you propose to do with ? your famous pupil?" said ber soft t vmc.o' ' .
