The Ivy Green. BT CHARLES DICKENS. Ota. a (iain cy plant is the Ivy green, That creepeth o'er ruins old 1 Of right choice food are his meals, I ween, Innis cell so lone and cold. The walls most be crumbled, tte stone decayed, . To pleasure his dainty whim; And the smouldering dust that years have made, j is a merry meal for him. Creeping where no lire ls seen, v A rare old plant ls the Ivy green. Fast be stealeth on, though he wears no wings, And a staunch old heart has he. How closely he twtneth, how tight he clings To his friend the huge Oak tree I And silly he traileth along the ground, And bis leaves he gent y waves, As he joyously hugs and erawleth round i The rich mould of dead men's graves. Creeping where grim death has been, A rare old plant ls tbe Ivy green. Whole ages have fled and their works decayed, And natlonWTiave scattered been; Bat the stoat old Ivy shall never fade, From Its hale and hearty green. The brave old plant In Its lonely days, Shall fasten upon the past; For the stateliest building man can raise, Is the Ivys food at last. Creeping on, where tlme4ias been, A rare old plant Is the Ivy green. THE WARNING. James Baintree, barrister-at-law, and Wil liam Hargreaves, clerk in holy orders, weze . Bitting in the chamber of the former Kentle man, in the Tom pie. They had dined to? gether and had now ref urned, and had lit the cigar of meditation. They .'were old friends, school-fellows and college chums; and William Hargreaves bad just come np to town, in or . der to accompany his friend the next day into tbe coan try, to a s Biet, according toa promise of macy years' standing, at the ceremony or his marriage. "You say, James, that yonr lady-love is to -bo married from the house of her co nain, Lady-Berry?'' ? "Yea," Baid the barrister, rather shortly. "Don't yon like the arrangement?'' the olergymsr: "asked. .? "1 can hardly say that I don't like it, Wil? liam; and yet, if I had had my choice, 1 would rather that it had been otherwise." - He was silent again; and his friend seeing that there was something which he did'not care to explain, asked no further questions,. bnt . con un oed amt king,- leaving it to his friend ? either to contiene or change the conversation. Presently Baintree threw the end of his : cigar into the fire. ' "I will tell jon tho story, William, and yon shad judge for yourseb*. I need not say that - it is not to go farther. No one knows it. I -bebeve, except those concerned; and we all have more or leas reason for not wishing sneb story to get about. Lneed not tell yon that I never was a believer in ghosts, apparitions ' or the supernatural in any way. Yon remem? ber that at college I was always ready to enter - into any amount of argument with men who believed more or lees in the supernatural; yon,, yourself, having Scotch blood in your veins, bad rather a leaning toward wraiths. I was niter ly. nacre iulons. Having recalled this lo yonr memory, I will gd on with my tory. . Vit waa in the autumn of '66, rather better than two years ?co now. that I was staying down wit h Sir Peter aud Lady Berry at Wen? ning Park, lt was a very pleasant place to ; . stay at; one of those bouses where a man can do inst what be pleases. Sir Peter was, or rather ia, a man of some six or seveo-aud 'foitj. nt came into the baronetcy rather unexpectedly, through a series of deaths, N and i he news reached him in India, where te baa been for many years, and where he occu? pied the position of judge. He had already made an ample fortune, and at once came home and took possession of Wenning Park, which was entailed with tbe baronetcy. He was a quiet saan, given to ttudv; but his dis? position was sing ula ri y genial, and he has one Of the most pleasing smiles I ever saw. A . year after b?a return he married. He met bis wife down at tbe eea-ajde, 1 believe; abe was *bed?S??:t?r of * m?rgfm??, Sut ii?r" ??tb?r was dead, and abe lived al me with her mother. I know nothing about the wooing, bat should imagine that Lucy-I don't know uer fn&ideu came-married tbe baronet prin? cipally for his money, Bhe was about one and-twenty, and a very oretty bright girl. However, they seemed happy together. He indulged her every whim, and was never so ?sppy as w?i?n ??6 saw her surrounded by young people, ?nd enjoying ut!??.1? to the ut-1 -jmoat. At the Umo 1 am speaking of they bad "been married-three years. It had been A most pleasant visit j'the people in toe house Jud been a remarkably good set; partridges Bad been abundant,' and. above ail I had been engaged in a Btrong flirtation with Alice Ker? rers- and I think that even then we had both made np our minds t h at it was not to end with our visit to the Berrys. Time had gone on. She. rest of the guests dropped off. and there onlv remained Clara and Alice Ferrers, Tom Barding-he married Clara this spring-my? self, sod a man named Pellatt. Pellatt vas one of tboce men one meets everywhere "Bat daroeaor flower shows, orin the lark, or, in fact, everywhere. He was one of those men I can't bear, a sneering, cynical fellow, and Harding t boro uglily agreed with mo. He could be pleasant when be chose, and kept an en? tirely different tone for women from tua. which be. neel with men. He was a great, favorite with them, as, strangely enough, most men ?xe who are generally detested by other men. He was good-looking, at ?east so people said, though I never could Bee it my? self; his features, however, were certainly good, and when his face softened, as it did when he was talking with any woman to whom ho was trying to be agreeable, I can under? stand their heine; taken with it. Anyhow, bis name hae been coupled with, that of half a dosen married women t~> my knowledge. He was at Wenning Park before I went there, and be a'a' ed on now, talk-'nsr frequently, aa did both Harding and I, of leaving, bet suie ring himsoii very easily to be persuaded by Sur Peter into staying a little longer. From the first I had seen that he was very attentive to bis hostess; not obtrusively so, quite the con? trary. In fact, be spoke to ber more seldom than did moat other men staying m tbe house, lt was in the change ot tl c tone of his voice, and the sudden softening of the hard race, that I could detect the gamete was playing. Aa rime went on. I saw that she noticed it. too. and, what was more, that abe lilted it. It was not. that she flirted with bun. She was rather fin to flirtation, and I had seen' ber eu giged ne or two little affairs on a previous visit; these had been opeo,undiguued flirtations, mei ely ibo lesult of high spirits and a love of fun. There was nothing of this with Pellatt. She seemed infected with, his own quiet way. When she ?poke to him ber voice ?aa lower and softer, and her fingers bad a trick of .nervously playing with tho flowers or anything else sue had in ber hand. It struck me, too, that she avoided him as if abe wns afraid vt bim. sud that even ?hen she was not apparently vatoning him, she yet knew or felt what he was doiue. 1 bave seen ber wnen be ap proacned her even fiom behind move suddenly forward, and begin to talk eagerly and rapidly with any one else who waa near. Ot course, I said nothing of my ideas on the subject as lone: a-< 'he house was full; but when there rema med only the party 1 have named. I un? burdened my mind io Hardiug, who was an old friend of mine, one day when we were out shooting together. Tom was altogether of my opinion, and aaeed that Pellatt meant mis? chief. Ibe question was. What was to be done ? Neither of us, though we talked the mat ter over and over again, conld bit upon any tbiog practical. Yon see Hargraves, it is a very ticklish qaextiou to interfere in an af? fair of thia sort. Difficult and delicate at all times-for no one thanks yin. and you are surf to be looked upon as a meddling fool - tret iv so wbeu you have not a shadow of proof, and noti-iu? but ?our own vague suspicious to rely upon. Oi ivureo. our best plan would have been to have gone away at once as Pellatt could hardly bave outs'a\ed us; but, you see we were both au s?rieux witn the Ferrers, aud intend ( d se? lling the busmesB before we left; so we persua? ded ourselves that, if it was brokeu off now. it woulu b - renewed in'Lontlon when there was no one to watch over ber, and that it was best to let the game be played out under our eyes. Upon one point we were agreed, namely, that we would interfere when it? became a-eolutely necessary; but whether our interference should lake the jorm of an opening of Sir Peter's eyes, or or HU intimjtion to Peibut to give it n >, under a threat of asBault und batttry. we conld rio floilly determine. Ai auy rate, we were determiin-d to save Lady itt try. Weil, '..mo went on and it ou ly wanted two days io tho iim.e finally fixed for our leaving. Balding and I hail been out for our last day's shooing and had both snot badly. 1 tbiuk th ; wi hid m ide up our minds to propose ?npoii tbe fillowiog day. Whou we came in o the drawing-room ready for dinner, we both saw tt once that s met bing had taken place that theorist- was i.i ract at hand Lauy Ber jry waa uuu&ualij pale, with a spot of color on each cheek. She waa in feverish c talked gaily and rapidly all dmner-tin I observjd, addreesina her husband, looking, if she could help it. at Pel lat of Lady Berry's efforts, the dinner wai cess. Both the Ferrers were unusui and I fancied that they must bat something, I have since learned th after lunon, bad announced his in going for a walk, and tbat during the Lady Berry had been ?bsen t from tb room for some time; and that Alice, stairs for s o me th i ncr, bad happened t of the window, and t? ber surprise hs a glimpse of the two walking togeth Bbrubbeoee. Their uneasiness had t increased by the fact of Lady Berry' bo allusion after her rehira to the fa having left the boase. Ail this nothing of until loog afterward; ba sure that the girls as well as ouraelvoi something was wrong; and although oar best to talk naturally and be at < the thought that the time had corni and the wonder what our ourse ougt rendered it difficult for us to se< hostess' efforts to be gay. The only t party who seemed really themselves Peter and Fellatt. The former wi and kindly aa ever, utterly unsnspicio tempest gathering round him; while tl waa as coldly cynical and unpleasant bis wont. After tbe ladies left us oar sitting wa one. Neither Tom nor myself were in to engage in argument with tbe man ns, whose white tie our fingers were ii disarrange. We very soon, therefor? the ladies in Lady Berry's boudoir, it since our numbers bad so dwindled, met instead of the grand drawing-ro was a good-sized room, prettily fa There was a piano in it-an old-lashior. and out of keeping with the style of th the room. lb was prized by Lady however, as having been the gift of hei upon the occasion of her having lea play her first grand piece. As we \ s tarra, Harding whispered to me: "Th come to an understanding. Meet me ioom to-night. We most settle what t We had now a repetition of our din havior; and Lady Berry's gaiety seam* more forced than before. 1 think noticed thia; for he asked Alice Ferrers immediately as tea was over. When s played two or three pieces, there was a as she shut the piano and returned to h on the sofa; for neither her sister no berry plaved. Then, to oar astonis Pellatt volunteered to sing ns som saying he would play his own accompai None of us knew that te sang or played had never before mentioned that be did As he passed Lady Berry, be said two oi words to her in a whisper; and I go s I bis face tbat it was an injunction to b< ( calm. Then he went np to tbe piar opened iL i l can hardly describe to you, even Hargreaves, wbat followed, mach less gi an idea of its effects. He opened the rather roognly, and there waa a load aa if a string bad broken with tbe jar. c us all to start. The Brand, however, w a single sharp discord, as when astnng I but a bog, continuons, jarring note. ] and loader it rose until the whole room s filled with the sonne. It wa? 1 k j the of an engine whistle but allied wita the a broken music-sin ig; the wildest, the unearthly, and tbe most painful sound . heard. We all recoiled from the instr and stood transfixed with astonishment, may Bay for myself, and I think for thc with terror. Pellatt stood three paces fcom the piano, with his face deadly pa indeed, were all those present, and his slightly raised before him, as if to abu some uokuown danger. Alice Ferrari fainted upon the sofa; Clara clung to Harding, wbo was standing by her; .Sir had advanced three b&au/ steps, and etoo tween bis wife and the praoo; wmle Lady ry stool with ber bands pressing br.c bair from her temples, and ber eyes set fixed gk astlf stare. The only movement myself .-onecious of h a vin g made was U my bands to my ears, to deadou as far as Bible that awful unearthly sound. How ! it lasted I cannot say; it might have beer m?nate-it might have been three; to t seemed an ace. lh?n, ?ll ot a su< without change or warning, it ceased. Fi instant the silence was deadly; then Sir j turned, just in time to catch bis wife, wbc forward as if dead; and Clar i Ferrers wen into a rit o? ouch terrible hysterics, that : one feared tbat ber reason was cone for altogether for tb* next few mientes We our bands too fall to exchange a word, tbat time tbe Misses Ferrers were carried to their rooms, and given in charge cf servants, wbo were ot more use thaa we c be; while Sir Peter, having ordered a s"?ai start on horseback for the nearest doctor, pennteoded every endeavor to res'ore bis to consciousness. Tben. hndmg thal we i only ia the way. Hardinifand I went down g et uer into the smoking-room, I do uot tt either of us would have gono alone into boudoir tor a bandied pou sue. . When w? had cloded the door, we loo at each Otbet with blat k faces. What was Neither ot us could hazard a conjeoti neither bad ever heard any noise like it; we agreed exactly in our estimate of the soi -it was something like a railway whist's bk tbroagh two or three discordant obords of piano. As to what caused the noise neither us dared to conjecture: and we turn td aim aa a relief to tbe terrible question of hon would affect the Ferrers. In an boor's (imp we heard the welcome ? lop of a horse, and knew that the doctor i come, as Sir Peter bad asked him, on his m sanger's boree to save time. Just as be am Pellatt came into the room. He had been i in the night air, and was ghastly pa.e. tried to speak unconcernedly, but bis quivered and his band shook as be Ailed hi self a strong glaas ot apunta and water. Presently tbe welcome news came down tl the Misses Ferrers were botn sensible- a quiet. Lady Berry bad iecovered from her : - bnt was delirious. Alter this we eat very qu for some time; for neither Harding nor mys felt any ino in&tion to go off to bed alone, another halt an hoar a servant came in with piece of folded paper, which be gave to Pell -"From Sir Peter." Pellatt read it tbroue and, if possible, turned evenjaJer tban befo; He murmured something anwHett the room. ID another two minutes we again heard t horse's hoofs departing. We looked at ea other significantly. "She bas been talking ber delirium," Barding said; "avd Sir Pel bas ordered bim to leave tbe house at ono? Ifc waa so, as we afterward lound; and I clotbes were packed and sent after bim tl next day. Presently the doctor came down for a ft minutes. We both kuew and liked bu "Woat is all thia, gentlemen ?

"You Bhouid nav? io,d me." be said at last. "Them waa notbin as ver to tell, Sir Peter " I said, gently. "I waa only thia evenine that our eu?p ctons tba ail waa not right were confirmed; and we hat fully determined upon speaking to you to-moi row, in order ?bat yu might, perhaps, reaolvi upon tra vi liing, and oo taking Lady Berry ou of reach of temptation; for I am sure that Lad; Berry is innocent of-aught save a tempor?r infatuation."

' A tele graphic message, Sir Peter." A feeling of awe ran through ns as Sir Peter opened the letter. Were we to have an explanation of this awful mystery ? Bu Peter ran nie eye over i?, and gave a slight shiver. He signed to the servant to leave the room. "It-is a message," ho - said, solemnly, "to tell me that Lady Berry's mother was born-, to death, probably in a fit, this eve? ning." I have little more to tell. . Harding and I Bat up all that night, and left the next day, as did the Ferrers. They were sadly shaken, and the affair left a heavy mark upon them for some time. I need not say that we postponed our proposals until we met in London in the spring. A month or two afterward they lost their father, arid the marriages were post? poned. Clara, as I told you, was married to Harding last March; but various circumstances have combined to put off my affair until the present time. Lady Berry hovered for some, weeks between life and death ; but yonth and a good constitution conquered in the end, and ' she went abroad with her husband. They were away nearly two years, OD ly returning a fortnight since. I saw them as they passed through London. Sha was very much altered, andu s quiet, pale woman; but I should say that abe was very happy; and if ever a couple really loved eaoh other, I tbink that they do. The house has been entirely altered and re? decorated, the outrance into the drawing-room from the boudoir has been bricked up, and the room itself turned into a housekeeper's room. I heard this from Harding, who was over there the other day. They have a large party of guests down there-people whom they had met on the Continent, and arranged with to go dawn upon the same day as themselves, so as to break the ice of their return. Aboe is, at Lady Berry's particular request, to be married from there; and as Lady Berry ?B ber nearest relative, it is convenient in many respects. But nothing could persuade Alice to sleep there; so she is to Bleep at the town with two of her bridesmaid.-, who accompany ber, and to go over the first thing in the morning to dress and start from Wenning Park. There, that is my story I" "What became of Pellatt?" the clergyman asked, after a considerable pause. "He went abroad the day after the affair, and I heard six months afterward that he was dead. How or where I never beard, nor did I ever inquire. The whole matter was too fresh in mv mind at the tim", and I confess that I shunned everything that was likely to recall that awful evening to my mind." COMMERCIAL NE WS. .Exports.

The New York Daily Bulletin, of June 22, makes the following comments on the prospects and condition of the wheat marKet : Tlie subsidence of the French demand for Hour and wheat has produced great depression in our market. The decline. In wheat ls already ten cents per bushel rrom the higher figure. Of the receipts only about one-third were sold. Much of the wheat now arriving is unsound, and must be forced upon the market or sent to store. Pri? vate accounts from England and France report the weather showery and very favorable to wheat-the rain coming In good time to favor the blooming season. To add to the complication of holders, ocean freights took an upward turn at the close on Monday, the Liverpool steamers demanding sixpence for the last of the week, when a large accumulation or wheat ls expected at this market. The depression 1B assisted by large speculative lines of flour being forced upon the market for resale. But English shippers ad? mit that at some decline their wanta- will be large, and as our surplus ls large, and 'crop prospects favorable, activity will soon be re? newed.
