Cod, Abloom in the autumn weather, Surviving the golden-rod Thev should have died together! For why should a love out last The fading of summer flowers. To shiver in autumn's blast And tremble in freezing showers? A red rose blooming alone. When its tender mates have died: A sad heart loving on lu spite of its bitter pride. And over the dark blue sea, White sails receding fast. As wild winds bear from me The dream of a vanished past. Tonight in the dusk and gloom The lingering rose will die. Slain in its beauty's bloom Itv frosts from the autumn sky. And well if the morrow's dawn Should find me dead in despair. For love in tny heart lives on The same as when skies were lair.

That any one in his right miiu should refuse to accept of t he mean* of iidvaueenieut to the royal favor when it was to he purchased I?y such ii simple, and in the present ease, sucl an agreeable means, was past the oh gentleman's comprehension. It required some lit t le t ime for hin to understand that his nephew had rejected t he king's Hat tering proposals and then his anger began to gel tin better of his surprise. The Countess tie Liniercs. with ;i woman's ready wit. understood that t here could be hut one cause for such;i decided reft^al. and that must be that he was already in love. The chevalier was t he son of her sis ter. who had died several years previous to the opening of our story, and foi t hat reason, as well as his own noblt qualities, she loved him as she would had he lieen her own son. Lnderstaiuling her husband's quick and variable temper, the count es** _ - darted a warning glance at He Van* drey, which, if it was seen, was not heeded. "Before committing yourself irretrievably, Chevalier de Yaudivy. re ueci. sum uic count, in an angry tone. "I know the weakness of you t li * and the tcmptat ions to which it is exI posed. I also know that within eerA tain limits it is well to close tin eyes \v to faults, provided they are not too ,?3k serious. This marriage is an honot # which his majesty desires to confer on you, and when t he king has spoken at " "I will go to the kin^! ' interrupted the chevalier, and speaking with great \ rapidity and earnestness, lie added: "1 will t hank 1iiin for his goodness. I will place inv services at his disposal My devotion, my life are his. hut m\ a affections are my own. and I wish t o k remain?free!"' "Free!" exclaimed the count kJ ^ fully. "Free to lead ? (, S|P:,1 ,! m which you ma? *jut always he a hie to ino,. r *. . v. world. These words which implied so much. , stung the noblchearted De Vaiidrey more than any words of anger or reproach could have done. "There is not hing in my life to hide." he said, proudly, hut impatiently, "nothing for which 1 have reason to blush." "Arc you sure ol that. Chevalier?" asked the count, in a tone t hat plainly said the speaker knew differently. Conscious of his o\\ n upright ness, t his doubt cast upon his word was more than the chevalier could bear, and lie advanced toward bis uncle with a menacing air. "Monsieur!" he began, boldly. "1 cannot " I "Maurice! my husband!" exclaimed the countess, as she stepped between the two men to prevent those words from being spoken which both would htt,ve afterward deeply reirretted. "Defer the conversation for the present. Permit me to speak to Maurice." " Very well," said De Liniercs. sternly. Then t timing to t he chevalier, he said, in a \oice which he had never before used to his nephew: "We will return to this another t imo. You will remember that, as head of the family, its honor is eon tided l 'in. ran, and I will lint *nlTi?r :nn .in., t., w.i . .i .. i a stain." I)e Vain!ivy had nearly lost ill eon trol of his temper, and in a moment the out bleak whielithn count e*s \va* so anxious to avoid w >> :;j have broken forth, had no' t he count. w it limit giving his nephew time to speak, said, quickly: "1 leave you with the count ess. and 1 hope that youi respect and atlect ion for her will cause you to lend more weight toher counsels than you arc disposed to give to mine." As if fearing that lie mighl have tried the young man's temper too far, or that he did not \yish to prolong a useless cont roversy. ilie count left the room as he finished the sentence, and De Yaudrey was alone with his aunt. The countess went up to the nohlelooking young man. and taking his hand in hers, asked, in a sweet, winning voice: "Who is t his woman you love? What obstacle prevents the avowal ul your passion? II it is only a mattei of fortune, take mine: it is all at your disposal, and 1 will give it to you cheerfully." "Ah! where shall I liud a heart like yours?" exclaimed the chevalier, in a voice trembling wit h emo! ion. "You have divined my secret. I low a young girl as charming as she is pun' 1 !<n.her, yet inv lips have nevoi sought hers. I adore her. yet I h ive ne\e: dared to whisper my passion "Her name her family?" asked the countess, eagerly. "She was horn of the people," said I >e Yaudrey. proudly, yet lendcrh "She is an orphan, and lives hv the latior of her hands." The countess, who had never for a moment imagined sueli an answer to her quest inn, was surprised, and she j snoweu piainiy inai Ri'ifi was mingled \vith her surprise. "And you would make such a woman your wife?'' she asked, loproachlull v. "Do not jiidtfe her until you have seen her," entreated the chevalier. "Consent to see her, and tlien advise me." And the young man took the countess's 1 in11<Is in his. and looked iniploiingly into her face. Hut his aunt turned away I'ro.n liiin with a gestun of sorrow . "In such a marriage," she said, sadly. "t here can l?e no happiness I'oi von. and for her, only misery. Helieve me, V* ?. v *' ? "" t . - I I ' t ? I know the result of those utieuual yihloiis Vou nilist fetU'Unee her. You owe otrtidlence to you?' family and to your king.'' As the countess said these words, which, if I hey were ol>eyed. would 1 doom the young man to give up all that the world held for him, she turned wearily away, and sunk Into a chair, as if the advice came only from the echo of her husband's words, and not j from her own loving heart. "Canyon tell me that?" asked the: chevalier, in a tone of surprise. "You | who have sullered so much, and have | been a victim to a hlind obedience which has sacrificed your life, and made you misreahle?" "llow do you know?" exclaimed the l aiilit i cv cnriiuriiur t'rnnt line olinle no lit Mi' Yaiitlrey's words had struck direct ly to licr heart. and t heir passage had torn open wounds that t tic poor woman t bought no one stive lierselfand the good tiod knew of. "Who told you ibis? Who has torn aside the veil from my secret, and revealed to you the cause of the anguish I have suffered for eighteen long years?" The chevalier looked sadly upon the woman he had wounded so deeply by his words. "There was but one soul in the world tender and noble enough to appreciate and sustain your own in its ! trials," he said, in a gentle voice, that seemed to carry a balm with it. "Your dearly beloved sister my mot her. In her last moments she exacted from me the promise to devote myself to you should misfortune ever come, and I . | gladly gave my word." She would have said many things ! which would have hut added fuel to ji.ic llame that was burning in the > count's breast, had not the chevalier, -1 stepping close to in i. whispered: "Take care!" I! "Madame!" exclaimed l)e l.inieres. i looking at her in surprise, "to whom . do you refer? Of what are you spoaki ing. when you use the words, "pride, falsehood, despair'?" I Her huslKind's cool, sarcastic* words, uttered in a voice which chilled, rei called her to a sense of what she had I j saiit. and a deathly feeling came over j j her. causing her to seek t lie support of I the chair. The count looked at her tixedly, and I II she saw that some answer was requir-1 i ed of her. In a voice scarcely audible, j i ! the unhappy woman faltered: "1 meant 1 spoke of" Monsieur." said the chevalier, anxious to shit !d t he poor lady."l he words , > of t,lie count ess are hut the echo of I ' t ho-.e she just heard me utter. They ' are the irrevocable revolt of my heart ' I against t lie marriage and the sutTering you would impose upon me." The t'omit de Liuioros was far from being s;it islied w it h t lie chevalier's ex-1 planat ion. Looking at his wife in a | j manner which showed that lie did not , | believe what had just been told him. : he asked, in a cold, still' voice: ' j "I lad your words no other meaning, j | madaine?" "No no!" answered the countess. ' confusedly, as though she knew not 'I t In' meaning of t he w irds she ut to red. M"I am agitated. I lint you see, monsieur. I am ill." "That is evident," answered the count in a voice which had in its tones no sympat hy or emot ion. Then turning to h's nephew. lie ordered, rather than lei nested. "I 'ln?v:ilii?r . ,.ml>>.a tlu? count ?ss to her room, and return immediate) . 1 desire to s.eak with you.''

Like a well-made automaton, the clerk took the paper, made a still Im> v, and with a precise, mechanical manner. left the room. Left to himself, the envied minister of police gave waj to the passion wave that had threatened to overwhelm him in t he presence of his wife. lie paced the room in the same wild way that his wife had done hut a few moment - lie lore, and wait ed i in pat ient ly toi the return of his nephew. At last the chevalier returned, and t he look upon his face showed plainly that lie had nerved himself for the struggle which was inevitable. ucvalier!"' said t he old gent Ionian, going up to I>o Vaudrey in an angry, nervous manner, "you can readily understand that propriety and considcral ions for my own dignity induced m< to acccm t he cxplanat ion made by you on behalf of the cot lilt ess."

"I am ignorant oft he secret to which ' you refer," said l>e Yaudrey, in a ' haiight.v voice.

It was with the greatest anxiejv that I>e Vaud rey saw tliese preparations, the meaning of which he could oof imagine. Never for a moment did lie think of anv such records as the one lie now saw and he could only rack his hrain in vain for some solution to his uncle's j purpose. Hut lie was soon enlightened. "Here, hero, in the archives of l he police, are entered the secrets of every nohle family in France," said the count, seeking some particular page, "and here will 1 learn t he secret of Diane de Vaud rey, Countess de Ciuieres."

"Try not to let \oitr mind rest upon tlu-se things, my jmhm aunt." said the chevalier, in a voice as low and sweet as a woman's. The countess did not heed him.
