[From Dickens' Once a Week.] One evening, toward tho oloso of thc last conttiry, two persons wore walking ariu-iu-nrut in a shady walk in Hydo Park. Ono wns a soldier, yoting, good looking and apparently iii thc strongest health ; nnd his companiou, a rteatly-arcased woman, younger than him self, with a gentle, pleasing c :prossion of coun tenance, fair hair, and a gv/od, though, some what palo complexion. They wore walking quickly, and it was cvidont from tho snatchou of th?ir conversation which a passer-by might have caught, that she was anxious tobo bonif by a certain hour, while he endeavored tc prolong thc walk, and tho pleasure which it gavo him. Their conversation turned chiefly Oft th? future-tho future which they hoped to spenc together-for they were engaged-and thougl tho period of their marriage was uncertain neither of them entertained doubt or fear upoi thc subject, so constnut, so deep, and sinccr was thc affection which subsisted bctwoet them. Their walk was not so hurried bu what they had time to appoint an hour on th morrow, on which to resumo their walk am conversation on thc subject of their arrange merits and pidna for the future; so when thc parted, it waa with that feeling of tempor?r sorrow which is called up by n separation of few hours only, with a certainty, huuianl speaking, of a speedy mooting again. Truly they but little knew how uncertai that meeting was. Thc 3'oung man was private in thc -th regiment, where ho hoi the highest character for steadiness nnd rcgi lar conduct and in a short time ho was to ol tain a stop in rank, which he trusted woul enable him to maintain as his wife this girl i whom ho had long been attached. They wo: natives of tho same country village, and chant had brought them into close contact in Lo don, for sho lived as maid to an cxcellont mi tress in Brynnstono Square, and his barrac1 wore but a five minutes' walk distant. Tl acquaintance was gladly renewed, and soi ripened into tho warmest love, and with t] full consent of hor mistresj und her relatiot she engaged herself to him. 8ho hurried homo now to attend her ni tress' dressing, and to bc ready to resumo h accustomed occupation of rending aloud to h of au evening; for Mrs. 'Iowa M was an in\ lid, and tho careful attention nf t*** m?i ?la?o try lao,.had iuauowi iiwi ftiriunriy mont to treat her more as a companion than at servant.-a distinction which her good cdm tion fully warranted. " Well, Jane." said Mrs. Howard <o h soon after she carno in, I hope you hat pleasant wal!; with James ; and have you s tied anything definitely with him?" " No, ma'am ; wo can arrange nothing w certainty till he knows when ho shall get promotion ; and he has ndvist tl nm to ask j to bc good enough to let inc remain with j for some little timo yet, ns wc can hardly rn rv, so as t* bo comfortable, for some wc after that." "Dy all moans," wan Mrs. Howard'?rei answer, " I ?hall bo very glad for you to s as long as it suits you. Now, give rn? handkerchief, and after dinner, toward o'clock, come to thc drawing room and r to mo." Mrs. Howard went to dinner j Jnno, doubt, to supper. Meantime, the .".tri had se! with brillia;1 and to-night there was no apparent sigu? the thunder storms which had boen so quent of late. Tho sky wis clear and clo less, and tho rich, goldon light which glear over it, tempted one to quarrel with Byre depreciation of Kngliah sunsets as compa with those of more southern lands : f?low sinks, moro lovely ere his race be run, Along Morna's hills the s*iting*urt Not, as in Northern olimos obscurely bright, liutone unclouded blaze of living light. But it sank down and was gone and witl went, though ns yet. they know it aot, happiness of tho?a loving h oort*. Tho hour caine at which Jnno wat to br her book, and continuo tho history whicl much interested Mrs. Howard. When carno down she f.mnd, as was often th? c that tho party was joined by a young tr her mistress' son, who, having Iiis hom* another part of London, often ramo to t \ * and spond tho evening with lits mother Howevor, tho reading was not on that acoo abandoned, but the young man, Wm. II ard, sitting do Tn in an arm-chair on one t of tho fin; place, proposed lo liston to it v as much attention ?ns his mother, who sst p?sito to him ; while Jane Irvino took placa at tho tablo, having the door of the r< on her right hand, and her mistress on left, between hcrsolf and the fnv.-plaoc ; wh of courso, being summer time, there vsa firo ; but tho two arm-chairs rotainod tl i>osition all the year round, and from forci uibit Mrs. Howard and her son sat tn tl sum mor and winter alike. In front of Jane, and ?bedding their Ii on tho book, wore two candles, and there no othor light in tho room, as Mrs. How ^ had weak eyes, and did not generally ocoi Wm^m? horsolf with any work whilo tho mading 11 ' going on. Suddenly, as Jano Irvino was raising hand to snuff one of tho oandlcs, a scream fi her mistress caused her aoeidenly to put it < .. i.ii ifi rgjjl -jj_r ?SjS&SSSSiSSiSi_i-l^^^TTm^T~' I and eojiocd horself- n pioroiug soronm, na a flaming globo of fir? rolled along tho floor, ', touching thc odgo of her dress as it passed. I A porfoct ball of' firo, larger than a oriokct I ball, lightning up tho room with a flnsh for I au instant, which thon sooincd to relapso into utter darkness, so dazzling was its effect. What was it ? W honoe could it have como ? It had como from the firo-placo Bide, but no wo know thoro was no fire thcro, and gone, whit uer ? Tho door wns shut, aud tho win dow also. The threo people wore almost par alyzed for tho moment, but Wm. Howard was the first to recover himself, and to pcrccivo that his motlier wus fainting. " Quick, Jane !" ho cfiod ; " brm?; som? water' sho is fainting; she is dying! Oh! mother --" Jano lrvino controlled her own feelings in anxiety for her mistress, for sho kucw that hor constitution could littlo bear auoh a shook, and it was not for som? time that she waa suf ficiently reoOTcred to bo able to apeak. Her first words were "I shall dio, I sh.ill die within tho month." " No, no, my dear mother ; why should you think so? Do uottnlk Uko that, I bog of you." "Yos, William, I shall die. It touched me, nnd I know that was my ffltninmis." " That is mero superstition." ho said ; " dc not let that weigh with you." " But it docs, William. I cannot help it I cannot disbelieve it. All whom that fe?rfu messenger touches will leave this worlt) withir a month." Jano shuddered. Had uot the in*>'seng* touched her too? W il Ulara did nat loare th< house that night, nor did Jane Irvine qui hor mistress' side. She spoke very little nm when sho did it was with thc words of orr who hours aro numbered. She told her soi where her will would bc found ; mentions that she had mndo in it a provision for he faithful attendant, among other small legaoie.? which sho bogged her son to see daly paid. This he promised, but added : u But, my dear mother, don't talk like tb it I do trust you will shake off the impressio which this hns made on your mind. Take simple explanation of what you saw and b< lievo that it was one of the ourious effects ( electricity or some other nnturul phonomcnoi Don't let superstition have suoh a strong hoi upon you." " You f it, William, though?" shenske< "You saw it yourself, ani it did not touc you ? she added cngrrly. u N?, it >-Vid not tonch jue, but I saw plainly, and Jane s:iw it, too " " Yos, and it touched me," said Jane, in low tone, not too low, though, for it to rene Mrs. Howard's ear?, who raising herself bcd, vtith a look of horror, almost stern asked, " Did you say it touched you, too ? Thea you will die." Jane Irvrno shuddered again, and turin aw.iv,i,,.i. nntt.nvilld by an exclamation fro William. His mother, nfler uttering thc words with an air of prophetic conviction, f back in a lit. Tho doctors came, but th< skill wa? of !ttUQ avail. Hbo never rallie Jane Irvine was most unremitting in her cm and for days never loft her mistress' bed ; i tending to nil hor wants, and watching mi anxiously for tl gleam of consciousness, n glan of recognition. All in viiin. At night 3 slept in the ?ame room, and bj day she coi I tot bc persuaded to leave he r, for bowel I short a timo. Ho firmly did she. cling to t j idea that her beloved mistress would, wn once motet and revoke the fatal words whit she felt, had cart n sort of spell over her. Why should sho die ? Life was strong will j her-happiness before her. She was not : perfltitious ; she would shake off thea* glooi ideas. Mrs. Howard, oho eould not but Hove, would die, but what had that to do w tho ball of bro? She brid long been an invalid, and 1 I health for tho last year had bren growing tn I and more feeble, and abc wns not likely to j able to stand any shock, however alight . Vi j naturally, with her temperament, tho ball i firr had shattered her berrea, nlveady so we and had accelerated, though not absolut caused, the paralysis which strikes down aged-thone who hare fought the battle life, and havo no strength left to struggle But with herself the caso was w??< lj diff?re Young, etrong, with sound r.errea, and easily frightened, abo still admitted that w ah? bad seen on that particular e.rening I j ecrtainly, for the time, alarmed her hoyt anything she had .vcr felt before ; but 1; ; thia! wa? over. Thv-so things could bc [ plained by science. Kleefrieify, a power 1 ; could not understand, but others did-1 j thut moro wonderful than the shooting st j ?he had so often watched streaming over I sky on a clear Noromber'a night ? But tb I words, "Then you will die!" clear and < j tinct as her mistress had spakeu them, tl rr.ng in her cars. " But I will not believe it," she resolut said, "let mo think of other things. I1 Jame?, I have not been abie to see or btai him for some days, but he will havo cal and havo hoard of our misfortune. I * writo and tell him how ill Mrs. Howard I wonder thoy have not told me of his ci lng, for ho is sure to haveauked to see mo. j will tell him to call again to-morrow, and i I could just soe him for five minutes in I hall." So she wrot(\ and sent hor note, and turned to mount guard by Mrs Howard. T night thoro wes a chnnge, and beforo morn Mrs. Howard was n oorpse ! So oho was dend before the month was o Jane lrvino got no answer to hor noto, explain why, we must go bnok to that summer's evoning, when ho and sh 8 had, a proved, taken their last walk together. N Mrs. Howard's houso, on the same sido of squaro, thoro was, at that time, a publie in tution, guarded by a aoiitry day and night _? j ---- -j_^-_JJJijLgS-ii-J-SSJJ1-'. "" ll<faai|ij Ou tho night,in question it WAS tho tutu of Jamos Radstock, who niarohed cheerfully to tho spot where his watch was to bo kept, thinking iu bia heart that he should iu a man uer stand sontry ovor his .beloved also. Tho temptation to look up at tho window, and if possible discover, from the flickering shadows on tho blinds, what Juno Irvine was doing also, perhaps, with tho latent hopo that he might see a window open, and a smile from lier como down lo him through tho summer night, induced him to oxtenol Iiis walk beyond tho regular bent which tho national service for tho safety of tho institution demanded, and more than onco ho had advanced ns far as Mrs. Howard's door, mid hud thou retraced his steps to advancengnin und again with thc.same bono. Hut no Jane was to bc seen ; only a shadow on thu blind, which might or might not, b< hers. Backwards and forwards ho walked till tho night grew dark, and on n suddon ht stoppnd and fell lifeless, apparently, en th< pavement--past him, touching his boot, h nc rolled that ball of lire ! There ho lay, and by-and-by there he wai .?cen, senseless md motionless on (be pave ..tient. "Drunkj" said n passer by, nnd utovct carelessly on.

"Why?" asked Mr. Howard, surprise* tho continued gloom which oppressed tho } man, inatoad of tho continued chcerfuh which bc expected him to feel ut the resul thc trial. " It'a no uso, sir," was thc only answer " How do you mean, of no use ?" said Howard. " It's all right enough now." "I am a dead enan, sir. No man cnn a month who has boon touched with that of firo." Mr. Howard was struck. Those wcro very words U3cd by his mother, who was i hovering between life and death.

Whet oame baok to his mother's house next tm ing, it was to hoar that sho had breathed last. In a fow minutes a messenger came i ning in to say that Jamos linds took had boen found dead in his bed.
