\ l::i ii "WHO SHALLJIAEEY HER ?"
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;

! info^jn, ami Ij^SReel the influence af he:

("smile, which touches the heart and reachei

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

"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."
"Then let ut; go. The game will decide.'

With these words ho roso brusquely anc

11 "We must decide," said the latter, ai
they reached the hall.
"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'

"May it not be a quarrel, the motive 0

j It may, perhaps iu *:. readers to bs
- reminded how t:;o ;.h?>.<t question was regarded
by J'liny the V'-ua^er, the most ele1
;jant writer tinder the Roman Empire, and
the intimate frieiul uf the historian Taeitus,
the deepest mun of his day. 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

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.
