Over all the starry spheresj

Gently weeps in rainy tears.
What a Joy to press the pillow

And listen to tlie patter

Every tinkle on the shingles

And a thousand dreamy tancles
Into busy being start;
And a thousand recollections
Weave their air threads into woof.
As I listen to the palter
Of the rain upon the roof.

With her eyes' delicious blue;

1 remember that 1 loved her
As 1 may ne'er love again.
And mj heart's quick pulses vibrate
To the patter of the rain.

As she used in years ugone,
To survey her darling dreamers
lOro she lett them till the dawn;

By the patter of the rain.
There is naught in art's bravuras

In the spirit's pure, deep fountains
Whence the holy passions swell.

SYMPATHY AM) M)YK. <
Pierre and Jacques returned as soon
as the doctor had gone away, and .Iacques,
who had waited long for some
money, said:
"Well, mother, how is business?"
This question hud reminded the old
woman of the money the doctor had
given Louise, and she said quickly as
she opened the poor girl's hand with
no gentle force:
"Yes--yes; what did the doctor give 1
you?"
? "That, madame," replied Louise, as
the old hag took the money. This
was Jacques'opportunity, ami he was
not a man to let such a chance miss
him.
Before his mother could tell of what
amount the coin was, he had taken it
from her, and after examining it. exclaimed:
"Gold! What thieves these doctor*
must be; it's .a gold piece," and he :
coolly put it into his pocket, and was
about to go away, when his mother 1
cried out:
"But that is mine."
"Eh? never mind, mother," he said,
as he put his arm around her neck, :
and forced her to go with him. "I'll
treat you to some brandy."
"With my own money, brigand."
slid the old woman, completely mollified
by her son's small show of atl'ection,
and perfectly willing to accompany
her villain of a son on his orgy.
But a thought (if hlionot.c .vii.w.
her just as she was leaving, and she
turned long enough to say in her shrill,
Hilary voice to Louise:
"Look you, they will he coming out
of the church soon; now sing out loud.
No laziness, mind what 1 say, for I'll
be watching you."
"Yes, madaine," replied Louise,
meekly.
"Pierre! Where is that la/.y scampV"
cried the old woman, who had not'
seen the poor cripple who stood in t he
angle of one of the huijorhgs, unt tl her
voice called hint In come forward.
"Here, put luyi on the church steps."
"Yes, ly.'ritTier," said Pierre, going'
towaj/A the blind girl, thankful of an
jyp|H)rtunity even of touching the in^-"r
nocent girl s hand.
But Jacques was opposed to his <lo_
- ' lug even that, for as Pierre was about
to take hold of Louise's wasted hand,
he pushed him rudely aside, and in a
rough voice, said:
"Never mind, Cupid, you need not
trouble yourself. I'll take care of her."
Louise shrunk from his touch, but
never let such t rifles as t hat det or him:
in fact, he preferred that even Unsound
of his voice should give pain,
and taking her rudely by the hand, lie
led her to the steps of the church, and
stood for a moment looking at her.
"Yes?yes," he said, half to himself,
"she is devilish good-looking, considering
she's blind."
"You stay here, and see that no one
speaks to her," said the old woman to
Hlerre.
"I will watch her!" replied thecripple,
with a look of devot ion to the poor
girl such as one might give to the pie
nut- ui i in; imiaonnu.
"There's no danger that he'll let
anyone run away with her, is there,
Cupid?" laughed .1 acq lies, as he started
olT with his mot her.
For some time after mother and son
had gone away, 1 Met re stood gazing on
the wasted form of the poor blind girl,
while the great tears of sympathy and
love filled his eyes and t t ickled down
I lis distorted face.
Seated upon the cold stone steps,
which were covered with snow and ice,
and with scanty clothing to shield her
from the piercing wind and falling
snow, the poor girl shook with the
cold like one in an ague lit.
It was a sight which cut the honest,
tender Pierre to the heart, but yet he
had not hing with which to cover her,
save llie ragged coat which he wore,
and the loss of that would leave his
body almost naked.
Only for a moment did he hesitate,
and then, drawing off the only garment
in which there was any warmt h,
he went toward Louise.
"I am so very cold," shivered the
poor girl, as she tried to wrap t he miserable
sack she wore more closely
around her.
Pierre covered her wit h t he coat, and
stood exposed to all the merciless fury
of the storm, thankful that he was
able to do her t his service.
"Is that you, Pierre?" asked the
young girl. us she felt him covering licr
vvitli the garment.
"Yes, mam/ellc," replied t lie cripple, i
breathing upon his lingers, which were
rapidly becoming purple from the intense
cold.
"Yes, it must be you, 1'ierre, you
are the only one who is kind to me.
Hut this is your coat," she said, as she
felt the garment. "What will you do!
without it, Pierre?"
"Oh, I'll do very well without it,
m&mzelle," replied Pierre, vainly trying
to keep ids teeth from chattering,
and at the same time telling a falsehood
In order to induce the girl to
keep the coat. "1 have a jacket. and
a woolen waistcoat/, and my oh, that
is only my overcoat. Besides, I am
very warm, very warm indeed!"
Even wliile the honest fellow was
speaking,he was obliged to move around
l|L:
I
?
to keep Hit Mood hi circulation. he
was so rapidly becoming chilled.
"IMerro," said I.oulsc. earnestly,
''without you 1 should die; without
your help 1 shouldn't have strength to
endure my sufferings."
Again the tears came into tlio crlppie's
eyes; but tIris time they were
tears of Joy as well as sorrow.
lie was happy at the words which
Louise uttered for they showed him
that she thought ol him, depended on
hiiu,and Ids heart, which was so hungry
for the love of some one, rejoiced.
I know thoy make you wroldhGtV' >
he said, sadly. "Mv heart bleeds at
the sufferings they Inflict on you: hut j
I am helpless helpless. I can do
nothing nothing!"
These despairing words, which the
thought oi his own weakness wrung
from Pierre s heart, touched Louise

"Is your sympathy, your compassion
not hing?" siic asked, in a tender voice,
and as sile took hold of t lie coat lie had
placed upon her shoulders, she added:
"l'.ven now 1 have to t hank you. Yes,
yotn pity, your kindness sustain nun"
As she said this, she arose and took
Pierre's hand in her own.
In doing so. she touched his arm,
which was partly covered hy his thin,
ragged shirt, and in an instant she
understood what he had done.
"Oil, how SGltlsh 1 am!" she said, as
she t<x>k the coat from oil' her shoulders.
"No no!" cried Pierre, trying to
prevent her from doing so, and refusing
to take it hack.
"Pierre, do take it," she almost
fed him. "My dear Pierre, lor
my sake take it!''
Pierre could not resist the entreaty,
and very reluctantly did lie again put
his coat on.
"I am not cold now," she said,
struggling not to betray the Intense
sull'ering which was hers, as tlie chilling
stiow again fell upon her almost
unprot ected shoulders; "and if 1 were,
am 1 not accustomed to sulTeringV
hid they not leave mc in the cold garret
to starve, because i refused to beg?
But, alas! i must beg, ordloand lose
all my hope Of seeing my dear llcnrlette
once more!"
The wail of sorrow which accompanied
t lie words so moved Pierre, that
for a moment he was unable to speak.
"Have you never thought of escaping?"
he asked, at last, "lean assist
you. Let me inform the police, and
t hey will proteel you."
"No no," replied Louise, quickly,
"you must not. I have thought of it,
tint that would deprive me of t he only
chance of (hiding my sister. They
woidd shut nie up in an asylum for I he
blind, and then I should he lost to her
forever. Besides. I have an idea thai
itistuins inc. and my only hope. If
I hey lake me from one quarter of the
Lily to the other.perhaps some day my
voice may reach my sister's ears. 1
will sing the same songs \se learned
together, and when l finish, I will cry
nut. "Ilenriett.e! 'tis I, your sister
Louise! Do you not hear me, I lenriet te
sister?' "
As the poor girl thus repeated the
cry which she hoped would lead her to
her dear sister, her voice unconsciously
arose to a louder pitch, until the
last words were uttered with all her
strength, and she seemed to think
that c\en t here she might he heard hy
her sister.
At the same time the organ from
the church swelled out a hymn of
praise to (Jod t hat seemed almost like
mockery, for here, at t he very stops of
(iod's t emple, was I here not one of 11 is
children in deepest despair, who had
hoen cursed hy man, and suffering an
atlliet ion which (Jod had visited upon
her, perhaps for t he sins of her father?

,ifsrro feared lest his mother should
hear Iter cry, and he knew by 11ic
sound of the organ that the service
was concluded, therefore ho said,
soot bingly:
"Hush. Louise, they will hear you.
The service Is over, and mother will
he coming hack to watch you."
"And if she does not heat me sing
site will heat me."
And the poor creature commenced I
losing In a low voice just as the richly
dressed throng hegan to pour out of
church, brushing without thought.the
poor blind girl with their elegant
rohes.
The feeble, hut sweet voice tit traded
none of the worshipers; they were
so much occupied with thoughts of
(}od, which the good priest had instilled
Into their minds, that they did not
see one of I lis children who was singing
her life away.
Among the last who came from the
house of Hod was the Countess de Llnicres,
and upon lit r face was the same
look oj' sadness which seemed habitual
to it.
"I have prayed to Heaven to restore
me my child," she said, half to herself.
*4 Will my prayer never he answered?"
The sad song which Louise was singing
arrested her at tent ion, and st Irred
strange emotions in her breast.
"What a voice! How tender and how
sad! It awakens pity akin to pain,
(iracious Heaven! what is the meaning
of that lixed look?" Antl bending over
the poor beggar,she asked: "My child,
can you not see me?"
" No, madame," was Louise's low,
sad answer.
"Poor child!" exclaimed the coun1
("IQ
"Do vou pity me, madamc?" and
Louise asked t lie quest ion almost won*
deringly, little dreaming how much
right she had to claim pity and love
from the aristocratic lady who was
bending over her.
As the blind girl spoke she fell, a
hard grip upon her arm, and she knew
that Mother Frochard was listening
to whatever she might say.
The Count ess <le Linicrcs saw the
hard-featured old hag, as she could not
but wonder at the marked contrast
between the two.
C1IAPTKK XVII.
( IIAUITV ANI? PITY.
The blind girl's question, "l?o you
pity me, madame?" aroused all the
great llood of sympathy which the
countess was so well known to have,
and it was wit h evident emotion that
she answered:
"Pity you? indeed, I do, my child!"
The words fell with a sweet sound
on the poor girl's ears and she stepped
nearer the kind lady, regardless of the
proximity of t he old hag, who was doIMC
ill I in her nnwpi1 l<> mnl/r? ? lw> .-wu-?r
young life wretched.
'You pity me because 1 a in blind,"
she said, in a touching voice. "Alas,
inadame, that is not, my greatest misfort
one."
"What do you mean?" asked the
kind-hearted lady, in surprise. "Sneak,
child, 1 am rich, perhaps I can--"
"All! if I dared!" exclaimed Louise,
bracing herself to tell her story to this
lady who spoke to her in such pitying
accents, and who could do so much toward
aiding h*r to find her sister.
Hut Mother Frochard, who had
heard Louise's words,had no intention
of allowing the conversation to proceed
ttny further, and she grasped the
blind girl's tender arm Ixitwcen her
W
^ ? I - ?
I illrtl ah<i wicked tinker,4, Indicting a
hurt which caused the poor girl to cry
out with pain.
" Kb eh? what 's It?" asked the old
Imp. as she pressed her fat, dirty face
(lose to t he aristocrat lo feat ores of t he
countess, while her small gray eves
watched the lady's face as if to llnd
out what Louise liad already told.
"Youhave a relative -a mother?"
asked t he countess of Louise, utterly
ignoring La Frochard's Impertinent
int err unt ion.
"Mother!" exclaimed the hind girl,
in tones of deepest .pair.
In that one word all the wretchedness
of her hard lot was embodied, and
her very sold seemed to go out with
the word.
Louise had spoken before her torment
or could prevent her; hut the old
woman avenged herself by another
wicked pinch, and at the same time
speaking quickly, as if to prevent the
lady from noticing the blind girl's
tone.
" Yes, my beaut Iful lady," she said
in Iter shrill, coarse tones, while she
screwed her face up into what she inI
tended as a most fiUtnblo smile, "she
has a good mot her, If I do say so."
"Is this your daughter?" asked the
countess, in great surprise, as she
gazed at the two, now side by side,and
compared the slight, shrinking, beautiful
girl witli t lie 'fawning, fat and

' The youngest of seven that Heaven
has blest me with, my lady," replied
i t he old woman, as she dropped a still'
courtesy, and tried to put on a resigned
and contented look. "That is what
i lie darling was going to tell you isn't
jit, deary?
A tierce, sly blow in the back warned
t he t rembling Louise \\ hat her fate
would be if she did not answer as the
old hag told her to; but in spite of the
old woman's threats, the poor girl
eould not thus tell a falshood, and in
addition destroy the faint hope of seeing
her sister t hat t he countess's kind
words had caused to spring up in her
b< tsom.
"I I " she stammered in her attempt
to reply, but another vicious
blow from La IToehard caused her to
reel, and almost lose her breath.
As if she was alllicled wit h an excess
of motherly love, the old woman went
toward the trembling girl and under
pretence of support tng. took hot by the
arm in a manner that caused Louise
the most intense pain, and at. the
same time almost prevented her from
speaking.
Then, wit h her false smile and all'ect
at ion of tenderness, she asked or, it
would seen more proper to say, answered
for Louise:
"Certainly. Isn't it. so. my dear?"
"She seems to be ill, and sulTering,"
said t lie countess, as she saw how badly
the poor girl t rem bled, and at t ri tint
ing it to physical weaknesses, rat her
t ban einot ion, feared t hat she was sick,
and concluded that that was the
reason why Louise had not answered
her quest ion.
" Ah! good, charitable souls like you,
my lady, have pity on her," replied the
old woman, in her whining voice, that,
grated on Louise's ears, and even caused
Iter to shrink awav as if in oain.
"She has a nice, good home. Haven't
you. my dear?"
As I he old hag asked t his<|iic\st Ion of
Louise she elulehed her more lirmly by
the arm, audio alow, hoarse Voice,
whispered.
"Speak out!"
"Yes yes," faltered Louise.
fearing lest the countess should begin
to have some suspicion of the real
state of all'airs, La frochard stepped
in front of Louise, and thus proven ted I
her from saying anything further.
"< Jive t his to your mot Iter, and prav
for me." said I he countess, as she handed
t he poor girl a gold piece, and entered
her sedan chair, and in a few moment
s was out of sight.
I nt ill lie chair in w hieh the count
ess was seated was out of sight. Mot tier
! roc hard watched it narrowly, and
sioou 111 ;i moi nerty sort of attitude
near lionise: l?nl as soon as the hist one
ol the servants in the Do Linicres
livery had t urned t he corner, she grasped
the money eagerly and with no
gent le force.
"Ah.alouis, another golden piece!
It has boon a good d; y, aft or all."
And carefully placing the money in
her capacious pocket the old woman
looked anxiously around to see which
one of the many streets that metal
the square ottered the best facilities
for her business.
At length she decided on her route,
and going up to Louise, she seized her
roughly by the hand, then gave her
arm a pinch by way of reminder, and
said, in her hard, stern voice:
"Lome on now, and sing out. Sing,
I tell you!"
Thus commanded, t he poor girl began
in a low voice that trembled with
suppressed emot ion, and l he t wo walked
Slowly away, while the old hag continued
b -r shrill, monotonous cry of "Charity,
good people, charity for a
poor blind girl!"
Jacques and Pierre had been silent
witnesses of the scene between the
countess and Louise, and nothing but
the number of people that were passing
prevented Jacques adding the
louis given by the countess to some
liquor-dealer's hoard.
When La K roc hard and Louise went
on their way Pierre started to follow
them, in order that he might have
the satisfaction of gazing upon the
slight form of the blind girl, if only
from a distance; but he was stopped by
Jacques' brutal voice:
"Stop!" he cried, in an angrg tone,
"1 have a word to say to you."
Lor an instant t he cripple did not
heed the voice: but the thought of
what his brother might do caused him
to stop, t urn half round, and ask:
"What is it?"
"1 forbid you to follow Louise!" exclaimed
Jacques, in an angry voice.
"What you forbid?" asked Pierre, as
if he doubted that he had heard
aright.
"Yes. and forbid von t o mmn n<ini>

This t ime Jacques' voice was full of
rage, and lie looked as if lie was about
to spring upon bis deformed brother,
and kill him then and there, because
he even dared to cast, his eyes in the
direction the blind girl had taken.
It was evident that this brute of a
man who knew no other pleasure than
drinking, or making ot herssulTer, had,
in his brutal way, fallen in love with
the poor girl, whom he delighted to
torment.
"Jacques, I can not help it!" said
I'Mcrre, In an almost imploring tone.
"You would not be so cruel. No no,
Jacques. Why tire you so cruel?"
"Never mind why; I forbid you, that
is enough: if you (tare to disobey mo,
I'll break those misshapen legs over
again, Cupid!"
As he said this, he dealt the poor
cripple a cruel blow, which knocked
him down, as a mild way of enforcing
his commands.
"Ah! kill me "kill me, if you will,"
said Pierre, as lie slowly arose from the
ground, and in a low voice he added:
"But I do love her, and you can not
forbid that."
L .
I
Jacques easl a look of scorn and contempt
at the cripple who stood shivering
like one in an ague tit, and then
lighting an inseparable companion?a
short clay pipe moved away in the
direction of the nearest cabaret.
For a few moments the poor boy,
who had been deformed byrthe brother
who should have motectec! Instead of
beaten him, stood in a dejected attitude.
He know full well why Jacques
had forbidden him to think of Louise,
and hcshudtiored as lie thought of additional
cruelty which the poor girl
would have to suffer, because of the
love which Jacques -cruel, hard-hearted
Jacques had conceived for her.
