A strong bond ?>F i'ri"7ulship had JYorn ' their earliest- cliil :> t existed between Verneuil du Pre:- au Henry do Savigny. At college the same studies and pursuits were followed by both, i n the same army they held each tlic gralc ?>f lieutenant, and eerved in the same re .iuient where, by the officers, they wurc call i Castor and Pollux, Orestes and Pleiades, Damon and Pythias, and other titles i?j nl '.'licable. Years and experience ripened and strengthened their affection into the most scrupulous fidelity. When about sixteen, the age when others are' ingeniously ex iggeratod, du Fres and Sav'gny one day pledged themselves to each other as friea !s which death alone could part. "Let us solemnly swear," said du Pros, "to share alike each other's pleasures, pains, fortune and misery." "But suppose the time should come when each may long for some object that may not be shai'od Y' "Then let it be renounced." v. "No; let us rather promise to play for pof session." rtThnt is a happy thought,'' responded de Snvigny. "So let it be arranged," he continued, "that a game af chetpiurs or cards shall decide." "B* it so. Accept*? 1 thus all disputes will be avoided, and ou.r friendship remain infaet. This plan is well suggested." The two friends, with their company of Huzzars, were prarrisoned at Saint Germaine, and the oS'oers had >?een feted as so many heroes. The chateau, terrace and forest rendered Saint Germuine a delicious sojourn. Quite near the barracks, Mon, seiur Dubois, the fa'her of their captainresided. With Dubois the two young men had formed an agreeable intimacy, and as a natural result, the house of tho father was, at all times, open to them. About six months inior to the commencement of our story, a young Italian girl had come to St. Germaine, and been introduced by Monsieur Dubois to society as the daughter of one of tire old correspondents of his house. Her name was Bianca Jlarrelli, and her first apj- aiauco in the social circles of Saint Germ iine was signalled bv the manifestation of the most pronoun:eJ admiration on the part of the gentlemen and by an intense dislike from the fair eex, the natural result of jealousy. This, wraa, however, strictly disguised by the protestations cf exceeding friendship. Many admirers paid court to the lovely Bianca mid not a lew asked her hand in marriage; but offers had met with positive discouragement, and it was generally believed that; Monsieur Dubois intended the treasure for his son. There is no more inflammable heart than that of an olRcer in the huzzars. Anions the most impressionable, and as well, the most timid, were da Pros and de Savigny, Bianca was amiable, but gave no one reason to hope. It muy bo that the hour fox loving had not dawned, or that, in thci depth of her heart, she treasured some mysterious secret. Mile. Marrelli not only did not encourage, tut she well knew how to avert, a declaration on the very lips of her admirers?a fact which in now IciO ( liuiinished her troop of adorers, but rather heightened the fevei of attraction. One nioruing Captain Dubois invited his friends to a bid', an invitation generally accepted. "That day," said Dubois, "will be to me one of happiness, aa>i 1 triust all will be present to learn the kubou of my joy and rejoice with me." As he spoke a bright color flushed his cheeks and hi* eyes sparkled with pleasure* The evening arrived, ^ever had Bianca looked move ravialiingiv beautiful; her power seemed irresistible, as with uncommon grace, sbe received each guest, and many in her genial suiile read an encouragement unconsciously given. Da Pres, who had long endeavored tc confess his love, determined to declare his sentiments during the eotilKon. Before speaking, he allowed liis eyes to rest upon her in silent admiration, aiul now and theu iazar.leJ a pressure oi the huid, un?l as length whispered the desire to Speak tc her alone. "If you will grant me a few moments conversation in private,"' said du Pres, in a low tone. "1 have something most confidential to tell you." "I also have something confidential tc fell you, and will sec you when the ball ii over," responded Bianca, sadly. "Wait until then, I beg of you, for I trust you will understand me and be willing to rendei me justice." "Justice!" replieJ du Pros, surprised bj her answer. "Yes," she resumed, "but do not try tc fc* comprehend my meaning; you cannot until I explain." Then recalling, although with seeicing effort, bur gayety, she extended her hand, adding, "Come it is oui time to dance." Du Pres at first knew not what to think X but, absorbed by his own feelings, on reflection, he concluded that Bianca's reply, gave him reason to hope, and fed by this thought he gave himself up to dreams of future happiness. The quadrille over, do Savigny approached Mile. Manvlli to recall her promise to waltz with hi.u ; and, leaving her tvith his friend, Vernouil, hastily left, tlif drawing-room and descended to tlie garden But a short timn eltpsed when do Savignj joined du Pres. lie also seemed anxiom and troubled; but, absorbed by liis owi thoughts, his eonni.iniou did no* at fir* observe his pj:inn>v*'YVrncuiV cx<-l:utne1 '1>' S.tvigny, "thi: evening li.us fix* d my destiny." "That is jnvt v ii:i4 I was about to say tc you," vcpli> d da i'lvs. "I aiu in love!'' "Ami 1 also," a H-l hi?listenor. "The woman 1 love is beautiful. Fanej ! an angel of lowbiic.-s ; when 1 think of tin | possibility of baling in a:y suit, I fuel as i: ! 1 slioul<l {;o m.i'l." "I cm sympathize," responded do Sa vigny. "Never have I dreamed of so mud beauty, combined with such grace, as I sei united in the woman to w!?om my heart am its every aspiration is given." "Then you are, iadeed, iu love," said di Pres. "Who would not be with such a woman one whose character is pure and gentle? . : i seem now to see her dark lustrous eyes, he; j cx.juL-itely moulds Madonna-liki ! info^jn, ami Ij^SReel the influence af he: | scdudjfve antv voluptuous charms and he: ("smile, which touches the heart and reachei the very si.uL" While dc ifavigny spoke, du Pre3 experi cucod a strau-e sense of dread, and, with ! sudden impulse, he said: "Whom do you love?'' "Who else but Dianca Marrelli, th< beautiful Italian. For her I would give my very life; without her, existence is val ueless." "liianea?" exclaimed du Pres. "Is i Bianca you lovo?" "It is," re^pond.'l d*.- Savigny. For a uioiucut th- :e was silcnee; eacl | so *Uh d opi>res.sed l>y the souse cf impend | ing evil. "And you P" at Knjth murmured de Sa I vigny. j "I also love lSiaiiea Mitrrelli," said di I Pres. "As in the past, we will be true to on vows," continued do Pros. "Listen, do Sa I vigny, tins rivalry must not weaken ou friendship Bianca alone shall decide." "So be it," respond -d Savigny, "but it i just to say that 1 have already heard gulfi cient from Bianca this evening to believ ih the certainty of boing loved by her." "On my part, 1 believe yon to be deceiv ed," said du Pre?, "and you compel me t acknowledge that I have faith that I an her choice." "I doubt," replied Savigny. "Listen, 1 hen, aud I will tell you, tha you iuay judge for yourself." ".No, listen to mo, and you will perceivi that you are in error." "Well, we are mutually confident," ex claimed du Fics; "Lut of one thing Ian certain. Bianea intouds to announce to on of us our triumph over the other." "As to me, I am resolved never to resigi in your favor," responded de Savigny, hot j ly. "I love Bianca Marrelli, and she mus be mine.'' Wvrtp while f live to disnute her love.1 "We will see," was the firm answer. ' "Then, tin lYcs, we are, I suppose, t< forswear our long-tried friendship, aud bi faithless to our oath?"' "Do you still desire to respect that oath?' replied du Pres. "Yes!" exclaimed do Savigny, "and ] here demand that our agreement be carrici outs" "Should the game prove favorable to me will yoa retire without any ill-feeling to ward me, and make no further attempt t< win Bianear'' "I Will."

"Yes, and ut once," responded du Pros i1 Even while he spoke he turned toward th< i garden. As they crossed the ten-ace th< I sound of a hurried f otstep attracted theii i! attention, and turning, tlicy saw Dubois II who had witnessed their game and followet them, fearing trouble. j "Moved by some terrible motive," ex i claimed Dubois, "yon propose a projee' 1 which I am determined shall not be accom | plished.

Hero is a let rj tor from Pliny to hid friend: "What think you of the following story? r; Has it not more of (lie frightful about it and not less of the miraculous? I will tell s it as it was told to me: "There was a large and roomy house at a Athens, hut one that had a bad name and | proved fatal to in-dwellers. In the dead of -; night the sound like the grating of iron, or Oi to a more attentive ear, the clank of chairs, 1, used to echo through it?first from a distance, then from quite close at hand, j Presently a sped ral old man used to pret sent himself, lean and squalid, with long j beard and shaggy hair, wearing shackles on 0 his legs, and fetters on liis hands, which ho j kept shaking. -J "This occasioned wights of distress and .1 [ horror to the inmates, whoso sleep was e' banished by fear, and the result was illness and, as the illness grew to its height, dcg.lh; 1 for by day, though the phuntoiu h.ul do - parted, its image would remain impressed t on the eyes, and apprehension stayed when I its cause was trono. The house was, there* i 'fore quitted an I abandoned to desolation, i its unearthly occupant being1 allowed solo 3 possession. Still an advertisement was 2 kept up, ill case anyone unaware of the serious drawback might wish to rent or pur' chase it. Then a philosopher named Athenodorus came 1o Athens and road the [ bill. On he-irin/ the ]>ii< e the cheapness 1 raised his suspicions, and on making in<pii| ries, lie was told the sl->ry, which only ren, dorcd him more than ever anxious to hire -j the house. J] "Ah evening closed in ho ordered a bed to be made up for huns/if in a front room and called for writing materials and a light; then dismissed his attendants into the in3 terior, and applied himself, mind, eye, and ? hand, to the task of writing, that his brain fci might not be loft free to conjure up the apBJ paritions he had been told of, rund torment * him with idle fears. At first silence reigned | supreme about him, as it did everywhere else. Then there was' a elaVa of iron and a 3<shufllingof ehaius. So far, however, from ^ lifting his eyes or laying aside his pen, ho 1 redoubled attention to his work, and stop'*1 ped his cars. The liohn incrcassd and ad! vanced nearer, until it seemed first at the r| door and then in the chamber. He turned 1; his head and saw a Jigure which ho rccog* | nized as the one described to him. It was I standing beckoning with its finger, as il s I summoning him. He answered by a wave 1 j of tho hand to wait a little and resumed his writing. It proceeded to rattle tho chains i over his head. Then looking1 behind him again and seeing it signalling as before, 31 without delay he took up the candle and ? followed it. The ghost walked slowly, as [ i if encumbered by its chains, but after turn.: ing into the court-yard it vanished suddenI ly and left his companion alone. Finding j! himself thus he plucked some grass ana leaves and marked the sput. The next d'y he went before the magistrates and advised 3 them to order the place dug up. A skelcj ton was found entangled in a mass of r chains, the body itself, from lying | long in the ground, having rotted away and . 1 1. 41... 1 ! 1 4-V.tt i, iui ,uii; ijuui'd) u.uv; ?wiu iiiuiut'iui) *i-i uu?7 fottors.

The difference between liie action of sea ^ j air and the action ol' mountain air on the I human system li;iss recently been explained , by Professor Hem.ice, of .H'lrliurg. Sea air, | he .^ays, is beneiicial for persons who are f overworked, but whesj digestive organs are good. A mountain atmosphere, on the otlur hand, renders the bodily movements , ; e;u-:i. r by reason of tin- diminished pressure, and increases the activity of respiration.
