CAMILLA.
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!

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, ,

ic very last penny out of the dilapi- |
ated old purse; but brave little Ca- <
lilln, never forgetting how near i

word to ward off huiigcr, and cour- j

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

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' ' . ' -
"Madam, Camilla is quite capable of c
doing anything, in a musical way. s
She will bo a songstress of whom
this country will be proud. AL, here C
she is." . \n
"You have improved wonderfully,
my child," said the lady, holding out rc
her gloved hand. "I came to bring' w
pou Richard's farewell. He leaves
London to-night, and will remain ai
ibroad many years. Here is a little tc
Ijift, as a token of remembrance "
She did not understand that Mrs. m
Clavering fiad placed a pretty neck- h
ace of coral in her hand, and then 'j
gathered up her shawl and departed;
aut when her teacher spoke, she.
jried out ai if in mortal pain, and,
without a word, flew down the street
towards homo. As she turned tho
jorner she rushed pellmell into the fc
irms of a gentleman, who, on seeing (j
ber nalo and tearful, said, "Why, little
Camilla, what is tho matter ?" ^
"Oh, Mr. Clavering you arc going vv
away!" n
Richard Clavering's fine face grew ,j]
?ad and expressive as the tearful eyes ,v

will you wait for my return ?" t]
"Wait for you? I am not going to a

'You ?tio. not comprehend me.? vs
Well, it is better so. Perhaps twi.
j-enrs later you may undersi-md me.
iiood-byc, Camilla. Kiss we, good- n
bye." c
Jt was a very quiet street, and so t!
Camilla lifted her hoad and kissed
him. In all probability the child f
would have kissed him in the main h
thoroughfare as readily as there, and \\
I only mention the fact of the street t,
being a quiet one to silence the startled
propriety of those who are 8
shocked at the publicity of it. c
Well, there they parted. Ho to go r
over the sea, she to. remain at home t
and improve the opportunities he had a
placed before her. h
