MISOET iT> /\ Katy's Story. Mary shed no tears-she was past that; when tho head goes wrong, no tear can come. Sit ting down on tho bank, she took the drowned child on her knee; with her own hands, she closed thc glazing eye, and stroked the yellow hair. There were some flowers in the dead grip of its hand, but Marv let them remain there. Hocking tho child backward and forward in her arms, she began to sing-maybe she thought sho was putting it to sleep: Hush, baby, hush-thc stream runs bright; Oh! father-mother-come. And take the wanderer back again, She longs to be at home. The wounded bird would told her wing . Within the parent nest, Thc heart, is broken, crushed and sore, And fain would be at rest. Tho dowers I loved and tended once Are fading one by one; When the chilling frosts of winter come, They'll all be dead and gone. But the blossom that you loved HO well, Your own poor stricken flower. Must linger on and bear the frost Of Winter's darkest hour. You'll not cast up to me, father, The step that I went wrong There's many a one has slipped as sore, That thought themselves full strong. You will not turn aside, father, Nor slight my dying prayer Thero's another door stands wide for nu . That I may cuter there! I have a homo abovo the ?tars, Where sorrow cannot dwell; To Ono who binds tho broken heart, My woeful tale Til tell. The scornful hand may cast tho stono, The bitter tongue may blame, There's Ono who waits to lot mo in, In spite of sin and shamo! The next morning, win n they came to take her home, sho and her child were lying by the side of tho stream. She had gone to that other homo where neither cold nor hunger, shamo nor sorrow, could ever light on her more!-Dubli?i Irishman. \From Dickens1 Christmas Storr/ enti? tled " Mugby Junction."] THE ENGINEERS STOBY* I CONTINUED. ~\ If sho had shown a fair and open preference for either of us, no real harm could have come of it. I would have put any constraint upon myself, and, Heaven knows! have borne any suffering, to seo Mat really happy. I know that he would have the same, and more if ho could, for me. But Gianetta cared not one sou for either. She never meant to choose between us. It gratified her vanity to divide us; it amused her to play with us. It would pass my power to tell how, by a thousand imperceptible shades of coquetry-by the lingering of a glance, tl. e substitution of a word, the flitting of a smile-sho contrived to turn our heads, and torture our hearts, and ^ead us on to love her. She deceived its both. She buoyed us both up Avithhope; she maddened us with jealousy; she crushed us with despair. For my part, when I seemed to wake to a sudden sense of the ruin that was about our path, and I saw how the truest friendship that ever bound two lives together was drifting on to wreck and ruin, I asked myself whether any woman in the world was worth what Mat had been to mc and I to him. But this was not often. I was readier to shut my eyes upon tho truth than to face it; and so lived on, wilfully, in a dream. Thus the autumn passed away, and winter came-the strange, treacher? ous, Genoese winter, green with olive and ilex, brilliant with sunshine and bitter with storm. Still, rivals at heart and friends on the surface, Mat and I lingered ou in our lodging in the VicoloBalba. Still Gianetta held us with her fatal wiles and her still more latal beauty. At length there came a day when I felt I could bear the horrible misery and suspense of it no longer. The sun, I vowed, should not go down before I knew I my sentence. She must choose be- | tween us. She must cither take me or let me go. I was reckless-I was desperate. I was determined to know the worst or tho best. If the worst, I would at once turn my back upon Genoa, upon her, upon all the pur? suits and purposes of my past life, and begin the world anew. This I told her, passionately and stornly, standing before her in the little par? lor at the back of the shop, one bleak Decembt;r morning. "If it's Mat whom you care for most," I said, ' tell me so in one word, and I will never trouble you again. Ho is better worth your love. I am jealous and exacting-he is as trusting aud unselfish as a woman. Speak, Gianetta; am I to bid you good-bye forever and ever, or am I to write home to my mother in Eng? land, bidding ber pray to God to bless the woman who has promised to be my wife?" "You plead your friend's cause weil," she replied, haughtily. "Matteo ought to be grateful. This is more than he ever did for you." "Give me my answer, for pity's sake," I exclaimed, "and let me go!" .'You aro free to go or stay, tSi^nor Inglese," shu replied. "1 am not your jailor." "Do you bid me leave you?" "Beata Madre! not I." "Will you marry ino if 1 stay?" Sin; laughed aloud-such a merry, mocking, musical laugh, like a chime of silver bells! "You ask too much," she said. "Only what you have led me to hope these five or six months past!" "That is just what Matteo says. How tiresome you both ai- !" "O Gianetta," I said, passionately, "be serious for one moment! I am a rough fellow, it is true-not half I good enough or clever euougo for you; but I love yon with my whole re-art-, and an Emperor could dono more." "I am glad of it," she replied; "I do not want you to love mo less." "Then you cannot wish to mako me wretched! "Will you promise me." "I promiso nothing," said she, with another burst of laughter, jj"ex cept that I will not marry Matteo!" Except that she would not marry Matteo Only that. Not a word of hope for myself. Nothing but my friend's condemnation. I might get comfort, and selfish triumph, and some sort of base assurance out of that, I could. And so, to my shame, I did. I grasped at the vain encour? agement, and, fool that I was! let her put mo off again unanswered. From that day, 1 gave up all effort at self-control, and let myself drift blindly on-to destruction. At length things became so bad between Mat ami myself that it seemed as if rn open rupture must be I at hand. We avoided each other, scarcely exchanged a dozen sentences I in a day, and fell away from our old ! familiar habits. At this time-j shudder to r< member it!-there were moments when I felt that I hated him. Thus, with the troublo deepening and widening between us day by day, another month or five weeks went by; and February came; and, with Feb? ruary, the Carnival. They said in Genoa that it was a particularly dull carnival; and so it must have been; for, save a flag or two hung out in some of the principal streets, and a j sort of festal look about the women, j there were no special indications of I the season. It was, I think, the second day, when, having been on j the line all the morning, I returned I to Genoa at dusk, and, tc my sur? prise, found Mat Price on tho plat j form. He came up to me, and laid his hand on my arm. "You aro in late," he said. "I have been waiting for you tbrer* quarters of an hour. Shall we dine together to-day ?" I Impulsive as I am, this evidence of returning good-will at once called up ? my better feelings. "With all my heart, Mat," I re? plied; "shall wc go to Gozzoli's?" I "No, no," he said, hurriedly. "Some quieter place-some place where we can talk. I have something to say to you." I noticed now that he looked pale and agitated, and an uneasy sense of apprehension stole upon me. We de? cided on the "Pescatore,'' a little out of tho way trattoria, down near thc Molo Ycccino. There, in a dingy saloon, frequented chiefly by seamen, and redolent of tobacco, we ordered our simple dinner. Mat scarcely swallowed a morsel, but calling pre? sently for a bottle of Sicilian wine, drank eagerly. "Well, Mat," I said, aa the las! dish was placed upon the table, "what news have you?" "Bad." "I guessed that from your face." "Bad for you-bad for mc. Gia? netta." "What of Gianetta?" He passed his hand nervously across his lips. "Gianetta is false-worse thar lalse," ho said, in a hoarse voice. "She values an honest man's hean just as she values a flower for hei hair-wears it for a day, then throws it aside forever. She has cruelly wronged irs both." "In what way? Good Heavens speak out. !" "In tho worst way that a womat: can wrong those who love her. Sh? has sold herself to the Marches? Loredano." The blood rushed to my face ant head in a burning torrent. I conk scarcely see, and dared not trust my self to speak. "I saw her going towards thc ca thedral," he went on, hurriedly. "1 was about three hours ago. I though she might be going to confession, si I hung back and followed her at ? distance. When she got inside, how ever, she went straight to the back o the pulpit, where this man was wait ing for her. You remember Inm? an old man who used to haunt tin shop a month or two back. Well seeing how deep in conversation the; were, and how they stood close unde the pulpit with their backs toward the church, I fell into a passion o anger and went straight up tho aisle intending to say or do something, scarcely know what, but, at all events to draw her arm through mine, uni take her home. Wlien I came with in a few feet, however, and found onl; a big pillar between myself and thom I paused. They could not see me nor T them; but I could hear tliei voices distinctly, and-and I listen ed." "Well, and you heard-" "The terms of a shameful bargai -beauty on the one side, gold on tb other; so many thousand francs year; a villa near Naples-Pah! j makes me sick to repeat it." And, with a shudder, he poure out another glass of wine and drau it at a draught. "After that," he said, picsentlj "1 made no effort to bring her awaj The whole tiling was so eold-bloodec so deliberate, so shameful, that I fe] I bad only to wipe ber out of m memory, and leave her to her fat? I stole out of the cathedral, am walked about here by the sea f< ever .>o long, trying to get m thoughts straight. Then I remen bored you, Ben, and the recollectio of bow this wanton bad come bi tween us and broken up our live: drove me wild. So I went up to th station and waited for you. I fe you ought to know it nil, and-and I thought, perhaps, that wo might go buck to England together." "The Marchoso Loredano!" It was all that I could say; all that I could think. As Mat had just said of himself, I felt "like one stunned.-' "There is ono other thing I may as well tell you," he added, reluctant? ly, "if only to show you how falso a woman can he. Wo were to have been married next month." "We? Who? What do you mean?" "I moan that we were to have been married-Gianetta and I." i A sudden storm of rage, ol' scorn, ! of incredulity, swept over me at this, i and seemed to carry my senses away. "You!" I erie;1.. "Gianetta marry you! I don't believe it." "I wish I had not believed it," he replied, looking up as if puzzled by my vehemence. "But she promised me; and I thought, when sue pro? mised it, she meant it." "She told ?ne, weeks ago, that she would never be your wife!" His color rose, his brow darkened; ! but when his answer came, it was calm as the. last. "Indeed!" he said. "That it is only one baseness more. She told me chat she bad refused you; and that was wby we kept our engage? ment secret." "Tell the truth, Mat Price," I said, well nigh beside myself with sus? picion. "Confess that every word of this is false! Confess that Gianetta will not listen to you, and that you are afraid I may succeed where you have failed. As perhaps I shall-as perhaps I shall, after all!" "Are you mad?" ho exclaimed. "What do you mean?" "That I believe it's just a trick to get me away to England-that I don't credit a syllable of your story. You're a liar, and I hate you!" He rose, and, laying ono hand on the back of his chair, looked me sternly in tho face. "If you were not Benjamin Hardy," he said, deliberately, "I would thrash you within an inch of your life." Tho words had no sooner passed his lips than I sprang at him. I have never been able distinctly to remem? ber what followed. A curse -a blow -a struggle-a moment of blind fury -a cry-a confusion of tongues-=a circle of strange faces. Then I see Mat lying back in tho arms of a by? stander; myself trembling and be? wildered-the knife dropped from my grasp; blood upon the lloor, blood upon my hands, blood upon his shirt. And then I hear those dreadful words "O Ben, you have murdered me!" He did not die-at least, not there aud then. He was cai ried to the nearest hospital, and lay for some weeks between lifo and death. His case, they said, was difficult and dan? gerous. The knife had gone in just below the collar-bone, und pierced down into the lungs. He was not allowed to speak or turn, scarcely to breathe with freedom. He might not even lift his head to drink. I sat by him day and night,all through that sor? rowful time. 1 gave up my situation on the railway; 1 quitted my lodging in the Vicalo Balba; I tried to forget that such a woman as Gianetta Con egia had ever drawn breath. I lived only for Mat, and he tried to live more, I believe, for my sake than his own. Thus, iu the bitter silent hours of pain and penitence, when no hand but mine approached his lips 01 smoothed his pillow, the old friend? ship came back with eveu more thai] its old trust and faithfulness. Ht forgave me, fully and freely; and ] would thankfully have given my lift for him. At length there came one bright spring morning, when dismissed a; convalescent, he tottered out throng! the hosp'tal gates, leaning on mj arm, and feeble as au infant. EI< was not cured; neither, as J. ther. learned to my horror and anguish was it possible that he ever Could b? cured! He might live, with care for some years; but his lungs \ver( injured beyond hope of remedy, ant a strong or healthy mau ho conk never be again. These, spoken asid< to mo, were tho parting words of tin chief physician, who advised me t< take him farther South without de lay. I took him to a little coast-towi called Bocca, some thirty miles be youd Genoa-a sheltered lonely plae along the Riviera, where the sea wa even bluer than the sky, ?nd tue cliff were green with strange tropica plants-cacti and aloes, and Egyp tiau palms. Here wo lodged in th house of a small tradesman; and Mai to use his own words, "set to worl at getting well iu good earnest." Bu alus! it was a work which no earnest ness could forward. Day after da; he went down to the beach, and sa for hours drinking the sea-air an watching the sails that came an went in tho oiling. By-arid-by h could get no farther than the garde of the house in which we lived, ? little later, and he spent his days o a couch beside the open window waiting patiently for the end. A} for the end! lt had come to thal He was fading fast, waning with th waning summer, and conscious tbs the Reaper was ut hand. His who! aim now was to soften the agony ( my remorse, and prepare mo for whs must shortly come. "I would not live longer, if could," he said, lying on his cone one summer evening, and looking a to the stars. "If J had my choice i this moment, I would ask to go. should Uko Gianetta to know that I forgave uer." "She shall know it," I said, trem? bling suddenly from head to foot. Ile pressed my hand. "And you'll write to father?" "I will." I had drawn a littlo back, that he might not seethe tears raining-down my cheeks; but he raised himself on his elbow, and looked round. "Don't fret, Ben," he whispered, laid his head back wearily upon the pillow-and so died. And this was the end of it. This was the end of all that made life to me. I buried him there, in hearing of the wash of a str?ng?; sea on a strange shore. I stayed by the grave tili the priest and the bystanders were gone. 1 saw the earth filled in to the Inst sod, and thc grave digger stamp it down with his feet. Then, and not, till then.. I folt that I had lost him forever-the friend I had loved, and hated, and slain. Then, and not till then, I knew that ail rest, and joy, and hope were over for me, and my lifo was filled with loathing. Day and. night, land and sea, labor and rest, food and sleep were alike hateful to me. It was tho curso of Cain, aud that my brother had par? doned me made it lie none tho lighter. Peace on earth was for mo no more, and good-will towards men was dead in my heart forever. Remorse soft? ens some natures; but it poisoned mine. I hated all mankind; but abovo all I hated thc woman who had come between us two, and ruined both our lives. SALT AND BLUE STONF.
