IEE M AS O S CONCLUDED. His guest, bowing to the cou followed Ivan to an apartment,1 everything necessary had been pared for his accommodation. "It is natural," said Ivan, ": to feel interested for those who have in any way served-na] thanks ; perhaps I may one da a richer reward-your friend but I am strangely situated, cated by my mother in a manne ferent from the generality of youths, I have in vain sought for companion with whom I could change confidence and feeling, yourself, I am a Freemason ; b Russia the craft is so jealously w ed by the Government, that it is in secret we can assemble ; yet, I, as far as opportunity would a practiced its mysteries, and cul ted its divine precepts.

" I make no professions of fri< ship, dear Ivan ; but time will s .hat I am not ungrateful.'" " Farewell," replied his host ; ''s and refresh yourself-you must quire it after last night's hard bi ac. You will meet at dinner my c in Catharine, and Ann of Grands! the daughter of a distinguished ble ; her father leaves her under protection of my mother while h< absent with the anny. Adieu once more remember-we are Br m." The rescued soldier closed the c1 aa his host departed,and, falling u his knees, returned thanks to nea ?>r his almost miraculous escape. " Poor major !" sighed Adolj as he threw himself upon the cou l: a'l thy bantering has found an. at last." The events of the day passed rapid succession through his br; till, gradually becoming less cisti; his over-excited spirit found refugi sleep. After a short repose, he was rou from his slumber by a slight pi sure of the hand, and found, on st. . ing from his couch, Ivan standing his side. " I regret to disturb you !" exclai el the host: "but the.hour of d uer has arrived, and the ladies < peet our 2)resence." The young soldier followed him the apartment where he had left t countess. Catharine and her co manion, the La ly Ann, were wi her. Never had a more beautiful bei mei his gaze than Catharine Zerins Her form-just merging into worn a hood-wa? cast in the full, volupt ons mould of perfect beauty ; her bl eyes lit up a countenance of the nu amiable expression ; while a prof s:o:i of light-brown curls, whose lu uriance the sinai 1 fur cap she wo could not restrain, feil upon h shoulders, and gave a graceful co tour to the head and neck "How!" exclaimed Ivan, gayl observing Iris evident admiration: " soldier, and taken by surpi ise ? Wi; reparation can you offer for ha vi. driven our divinities to .??ck rein: in these deserts ? But here," he coi tinned, " is on?\ whose anger yt will find more difficult to propitiute not that yon have be-n an en*m; bur that you have hitherto su?cre her to remain unnoticed. Tiie Lady Anti. who=e age and ; pearance sefved foils to her mo; juvenile friend, received Adolphe apoloizy and advances with that can less good humor which at once restoi ed him to himself. The ceremony of introduction bi ing over, their conversation becaja general ; and if, at times, the polish ed Frenchman smiled at his presen er's ignorance of the world and rc raantic enthusiasm, the elevation c his sentiment and goodness of he?r became more and more apparent. To Ivan, the. young and arden child of nature, the accomplishment of Adolphe were subjects ot admira tion. He gazed with respect rr-oi the man who had visited the glori ous capital of Europe-whose step had wandered amid the gardens o Italy. His classic descriptions excited lui imagination, and every hour he deem <?d himself more fortunate m the pos session of such a companion, whih the mysterious bond of fraternal union by which they were hound sanctioned the rapid g:owth of their mutual friendship. Frequently would the lovely Cath arine desert her female companions to listen to their conversations, and ^ang, with attentivo ear, upon every word the young soldier uttered. Sometimes he would sing to them the airs of his native lanc? descrip tive of her vine-clad hills and old romance, or of those victories which . had rendered her at once the terror and astonishment of Europe. The fair Russian possessed a rich natural voice, and was slightly skill ed in .mu,ejc. At. ,Ivan,'s request, Adolphe became her instructor. To gether they practiced those lays whose passion-breathing strains (before eith ar dreamt of daoger) imputed tile -----g fatal sentiment they too well d ed-Adolphe and Catharine The unsuspecting girl knew ni nature of her feelings-she f her interest for the strange) ceeded from friendship, and gra for his instruction ; but he, practiced in the feelings of the saw his danger, without r?solu! inclination to r )id it. T :S young Frenchman had the guest, rather than the priso Ivan, about two months,, wht morning, his host entered his ment, with a letter in his hand " Lind news, dear Adolphe exclaimed. "Some enemy t happiness has informed the go' of Moscow that a French oil high rank has found refuge hei writes to thank me for my se: and commands me to give you the general of the district." "Mine was a lot too fortuni last," replied his friend; "bu the fate of war, and I siibmi in the dungeons of Moscow, the privations of your hosp home, the recollection of your \ ons friendship shall console me. must I depart ?" "Depart?!" exclaimed Ivan, vou, then, think so meanly of i desert you in the moment of da Are you not my friend-my Bn Consign you to the dungeons of cow ! Not if the Emperor hi commanded it ! You are my gt: a nam* sacred to the poorest pei you never have been my prison resign all claim upon your hone here restore your parole. I ha named this unfortunate affair prudence may compel us to t precautions for your safety, w had you not been aware of the tive. must have appeared strang you." " Generous Ivan ! how shall press my gratitude? Yet, let your zeal in my behalf compre you with your Government ; have ff mother-" "Who would blush for me," i rupted his Mend, " were I ca] of violating tho rights ef hospil; I will meet the general ; he Wu farrier's friend : I will appeal tc generosity. Should that fail, must descend to artifice. 'Meanw vou must lay aside your uniform, be content to disguise yoursel habiliments of..mine. The ladie; already aware of the necessity of cealment, and will not be surpi at the exchange." " Unfortunate that! am!" exel ed Adolphe, " to disturb the hi ness and tranquility of your fat Should I be discovered, the venge of the Emperor .</ uld fall on tli and your domestics, they-" " Have neither ?yes nor ears as we direct. At the worst, too have a chamber so curiously com ed, that Suspicion's self might it in her search. It was provide a pLce of refuge for the fen against an enemy-it may now serve a friend.

Ivan had left his house about days, when Aran, the long-expec Jew merchant, arrived in the nei borhood, to purchase skins of serfs and neighboring boors, caravan consisted of six sledges, wh were well laden with the fruits his long journey. To Adolphe's offers he turned deaf ear. "The danger was great-it would interfere with trade " The scruple? were eventually moved by a sight of Lau liston's c ket. Tiie eyes of the avarie ons raelite sparkled as lie behold 1 gems, and i.e consented, on con non that he received a considera! portion of the treasure, to allow t yo::: g soldier to accompany him the disguise of .ne of his drive .md even promised to shorten ?? p< rion of his ron re., in order to laci tate his escape. It *?A finally ? r.inge<! that th?:-- should depart .our ?lays. ' Aware ol' his own feelings, ai more i han suspecting tiie indure Catharine's, Adolphe was considerii how he could besi iinji..rr. to her *. intelligence of his departure. T countess, being indisposed; had lc* her chamber, an?! it was not till la in the evening that, an opportun! presented itself. H.: was seated at his guitar, ida in?i a Russian air from me mor when "atharine entered ?In* apar ment. " Is ir possible," she excluir?n smiling, " that so a.>rnp!ished troubadour can descend to. the sa age strains of thc frozen North? Cn anything Russian dwell upon yoi memory ?" " It.must, indeed, be cold, Oath; rine," he replie*!, " ere I forget tl generosity of Ivan, or the beauty < his fair-countrywoman,'' he adle? checking himself, lest his too-pointe meaning should bring on the dt c laration he deemed it most honora ble to avoid. _ " A compliment," replied Cathu rine, " at the expense of poor sinceri tv. You are detected ; I can rem the heart. As a punishment, yo shall sing some lay of your own dea country." "Willingly," he replied; and striking a slight prelmle on the in s.rument, he sang the following words, not inapplicable to hjs owi feelings : "Farewell! farewell! I would not flin; Around thy brow the veil of sorrow Brightly for the the morn may ?pring And mirth und pleasure wait th}' mor row. " The words of lovo tliv lips have soo ken, Each' burning thought alike forgot, Keep not of me one parting token To wake the strain of vain regret. "Strike not the lute, whoso chords for me Breathed music's strain or passioifs spell ; Each note would breathe again in thee The memory of this sad farewell. V Gay hours of bliss-long happy years And Lovers best joys, fair maid, be thine ; His broken heart, his buming tears, And sighs of vain regret, are mine." The deep manly voice-of the yoting soldier trembled at the concluding stanzas. From his emotion, even more than the words of his strain, Catha rine felt he was aboui to depart. "You ard going to IMF? tul"j she exclaimed, bursting into " and I shall see you no more." The undisguised feeling with \ these few words were uttered be ed too plainly the state of her ing8. Adolphe threw himself his knees before her, and declare love. " Honor," he exclaimed, " has erto bound my tongue in silenci a captive and enemy, I dared nc your heart ; but these cruel mus-' ?md. I will return-I c. . on Ivan's friendship-I shall dei your hand-?-" " You will find me his wife !" sionately interrupted the agi giri. ' Enow you not I am bet ed to him ?*' . " God !" exclaimed Adolphe, " have I done ! There wanted but wretch that I am ! Is this my r< for his generous friendship ? F< me, Catharine," he continued. " ter we had never met. Tunk nc me. I were a monster, unwort .the name of man, could I gratif; own passion gt the expense of happiness. He?is gentle, afTectio: formed to be loved. You will recall your heart from this war ing, wayward choice, and lear look upon him as your husband. " Never, never," replied Catha " can I love Ivan but with a sis love. You never felt.the passio you could not coolly resign me tc other. But go,'? she continued, i calmly. " In your own land, dc less, you will find one worthie your heart than the deserted Ct ri ne-" "Never loved 1 You wrong Witness these tears that shame manhood-the pangs that rend soul. Nothing but the powerful of gratitude and imperious h could tear me from you. My h may break with the effort, but it i be accomplished. One embrace first and das. f happiness I may know." i At this moment, lian, who unexpectedly returned, entered apartment, but started as if a sei] had stung him on beholding Ca ri ne in the arms of his friend, perceived, he quitted theta. " Farewell for ever !" exclai Adolphe, as he disengaged Iiis irurn the trembling fo'" i of Cathai "Think of me but as a dream." J'e imprinted upon her brow a gie kiss, and rushed from her p euee. "'Tis over, thank heaven !" he n mured. " Tiie struggle's past ;" sinking upon a couch in his i room, he began to reflect upon tuture course. " Here I must not remain anol hour-we must never meet, again, owe it.to\her poace-^-to Ivan's trie ship-to my own honor." Hastily writing a letter, whicl left upon bis table, he threw hi? cl around him, and placing Laaristi casket in his bosom, l ?, silently ; unobserved, quitted the hospita mansion whi< h had ?-o long coucea and sheltered him. The night-fires guided him Alan's tent, who, won by the of the jewels, consented to de] instantly. The arrangements w soon made. While his people were strik their tent?, Adolphe changed dress for the meaner habiliments a sledge-driver. An Lour before ii; night everything was prepared, ; the party silently commenced tl j)urney. " Thus ends my dream of frie ship,-' said Ivan, as, starting from feverish slumber, he prepared mext morning to visit the deser chamber of Adolphe. " I have r< it is the nature of woman to be fal and mau to deceive. Hitherto I hi deemed ir - the philosopher's tru Yet, the false mistress and treach ous .riend should iv >t have been Ca arine and Adolphe Lesseau. "How, gone!".he exclaimed, looking round the apartment, searched iu vain for its late inma Can Catharine be the partner of ', flight ?" His eye fell upon the letter. ] trembled as he broke the seal. It r thus : " DEAR IVAN-Condemn me r that ,1 have withdrawn from yo hospitable home without bidding y farewell ; but my honor ami yo happiness demand that 1 should ?i as J have? Till a lew moments pi ceding the writing of this, I kin not of my danger. May you ai Catharine be happy \ Farewell. AlJOLPllK." "He is true-he is true!" sa Ivan, rapidly glancing over tire p per. " Human nature forgive n that I doubti (1 thee ! ile loved, b knew not o! my engagement to Ca; arine. T was to bi unie-he shou have be'jij forew.irueii1." IVHM took no nut ice of the seer he had witnessed to Catharine or h mother, trusting that time would le sen her grief, and her heart gradna ly appreciate his devoted aJi'ectio; By ai tacit agreement,. t!ie name, i Adolphe was never mentioned h< tween them. As tile Spring advanced, the com tess'removed to St. Petersburg. ?K palace at Mo-cow b'ting d >troye< Herc shi'V visited, arni gradual I plimgvd into the tasbioiiuble dissip; tion o? the court. But although.Catharine moved ami the brilliant throng, her buoyancy c spirit was gone-she appeared to er dure rather than enjoy, and Iva found that the shalt had pierce deeper than he at first imagined. Two years rolled on, and the one blooming Cathariue had become delicate invalid. Apathy and lan gnor, the forerunners of consumption had gradually tainted the springs c health, and frequently obliged her-t keep her chamber. She was reclining upon a sofa, lis tening to a rbrnance that Ivan wa reading. It turned on France am her minstrel knights. A deep sig! from his auditor drew his attention She lay pale and gasping, a tear upor her cheek. His generous nature coule endure it no longer. " Catharine !" he exclaimed, " we must change the scene. Your healtb is too delicate for this cold northern climate. You shall travel. The genial airs of France will restore you." "France!" cried Catharine, half springing from the couch. " Can you be serious ? Should we meet-" " Adolphe, you would say. Why you must, punish him for his deser tion. Yes, dear Catharine," contin ued Ivan, " ? now look upon you but as a sister. My friend "is" worthv of your love. Honor and gratitude afone prevented your union. They shall be rewarded. Nay, no words. I shall be repaid the sacrifice in your happiness, 'and again embracing my friend. : Summon' your spiritet In a few days we will setobtfor France." . In the Summer of the same year ' the military Lodge of i-was as: 3 em bled in Paris, The room was, . crowded with officers, and foreign Brothers of distinction. Count Lau riston, as Master, was in the chair. The' usual signal for silence being given, he thus addressed the assem bly : " Brothers, it* is my pleasurable task to record another instance of the advantages resulting from Masonry. A Brother here present, while escort ing me, during the late war in Rus sia, from an interview with Prince Kutusuff, was attacked by a party of Cossacks. I had barely time to es cape with my dispatches. His men were slain, and one of the enemy about to dispatch bim, when it be came apparent to the commander of the party that the Frenchman was a Brother. He saved his Hie-con cealed him in his own house, and finally enabled him to reach his na tive land. I find, by the list of thin night's visitors, that, unknown to, each other, the Brothers are pres ent." "How!" exclaimed Adolphe, rush ing forward ; " my friend here ?" A group of foreign officers at the same moment opened their circle, and Ivan was clasped in the embrace of his friend. Accompanied by Catharine, he that .very day had arrived in Paris, and hearing that a lodge was held in the hotel where he was staying, he sent in his name and certificate to the Master. We will not detain our readers by dwelling upon the happiness of Cath arine, or the gratitude of Adolphe. The following announcement, from the journals of the same month, will coriciude eur taie*: " Married, at the chapel of his Ex cellency the Russian Embassador, Count Adolphe Lesseau to Lady Catharine Zerinski. Count Ivan of Dantzoff gave away the bride." Th0 Mother as ? llair-fut?er. . Yvou can always tell a boy whose mother cuts h s hair. Not because thc edges of it look as if it had been chewed off by an absent-minded horse, but you tell it by the way he stops on the street and wriggles his shoulders.

The hail which lies over Iris eyes appears tn be surcharged wit'', electric needles, and that which is silently dropping down under his shirt-band appears t? .be on fire.

At thi. he commences to cry and wish he was a mau. But his motlier doesn't notice him. She merely hits him on the other ear to inspire confidence and goes on with the work. Whnti she is through she holds his jacket collar back hom his neck, and wit: her mouth blows the short bits o. hair from the top of his head down his back. He calls her attention I" this fact, but she looks for a new' place on his head and hits him there, and asks him why he didn't use his handkerchief. Then he takes his aw fully disfigured head to the mirror and looks at it, and, young as he is, shudders as he thinks o? what the boys on the street will say.-Danbury News Man.

MADISON AS A TEJITERANCE MAN. - Many yeti rs ugo, when the temper ance movement Uvan in Virginia. ex-President Madison lent i li e weigh I of his influence to the cause.

In lieu of whisky, there was a beverage most innocuous, unsti-m?lating And unpalatable to the army of dusky laborers. The following morning Mr. Madi j son called in hts head man to make the usual inquiry: " Nelson, how comes on the crop?'' " Po'ly, Mars' Jeems-monsus po' ly-" " Why, what's the matter?"
