Oft 111 the HtlUy Mailt. Oft in tile stilly night, Ere sllimbers chain lias bound mo, Fond memory brings the light Of other days arotind me; The smiles, the tears, t >f boyhood's years, The words of love then spoken: The eyes that shone. Now dimmed and gone. The cheerful hearts now broken. Thus in the stilly night, Ere si umber's chain has bound me, Sad memory brings the light Of other days around me. When 1 reniemlier all The friends so linked together I've seen around me fall, Like leaves in wintry weather, I feel like one Who t rends alone Some banquet hall deserted. Whose lights are tied. Whose garlands dead, Ami all hut he departe.d. Thus in t he st illy night. Ere slumber's chain has bound ine, Sad memory brings the light Of other days around me. - Thomas Moore.

Hcnrictte's cry of despair, as she mi dorstood that she was condemned t< exile, rung through the corridors oi the orison, causing all who hoard it t< shudder involuntarily. In the intensity of lier grief. which had caused t lie cry, it sounded more like the wail of a strong man in his agony, rather than that of a young girl. i'icard evinced the greatest conster nation. "I'll go to the Hostile and inform the chevalier," he thought. ilenrictto, turning to Marianne,who was standing near in the hopes that she might he able to render some assistance. said, in a world-weary voice: "Ah! now 1 understand why one may wish to die." "Do not speak so, mademoiselle," entreated Marianne. "Kemeinboi'tlie words of hope you spoke to me." "If vou have a family, think of t hem," said t he good doctor, anxious to t urn t he t houghtsof I lie poor girl to something beside, her own misery. "Think of master, the chevalier," said l'icard, in a tone which plainly said: " Koniember the plan which we have formed for your escape." "Ah! monsieur!" said llenriette to the physician, "exile lias no terrors for me. 1 do not weep for my own misfortunes." "She lias a sister of whom she was the sole support /'exclaimed Mai iatme "A sister who is blind." "1 bad found her at the moment when they arrested me," added Henri ette, sorrowfully. "I heard her voice 1 saw her. She was covered w ith rags and her beautiful golden hair fell ii disorder on her shoulders. She wa; being dragged along l>y a horrible ok woman, who 1 know ill-treats her beats her, perhaps, and they would noi let mo go to her. Now 1 have lost hei forever forever!" Aim iiKnin i nc soreiy men gin nurs into a Hood of bitter tears, while Mari anne supported the slight form in lie arms. "Wait a minute, my child," ex claimed the physician, as a suddei thought. Hashed over him. "I belieyi I have met that very same girl." "You, monsieur?" exclaimed Henri ette, in surprise. "Yes- yes, a young girl led by an oh woman, who called herself Louise." "Yes -yes, that's her name," am the young girl now became breathles' with excitement. "1 know the old woman, too. She i! called La Froehard." continued tin doctor, while Henrietta listened ahx iously to every word he spoke. "La Froehard!" exclaimed Heard quickly. "An old hag that goes aLiui whining for alms in the name o Heaven and seven small children'; Where does she live?" Marianne shuddered. She knew full well what mercy nnj one might expect at the hands of tin Frochards, and she resolved that tin blind girl should be rescued from thcli vile grasp. "She lives in a hovel by the river side," six; said quickly, and as if il pained her even to be obliged to spent of the family. "It was formerly user as a Ijoatrhouge: but has long been oc copied by thieves and the worst clas? of criminals. There Is a seeret en trance from the Kite Noir; but it is difficult to Hnd and always cftrefulh guarded." "Never mind that," said Pieard, contemptuously, "the police Qf Paris eatt find their secret entrances: if not we will capture the main one. I must go to t lie ltiust ile first, and t rv to oll'eet my master's rolease. Then we will g< to this boat-house." And away Pieard darted In tin greatest haste, lull or the import ance of the task he had undertaken, and re solved to accomplish it at any cost. "You are sure she lives i here?" ask ed Henrietta, cagearly, and forget tinj. for the moment that slit: was a prison er, hurrying toward the gate. "Thei we will go sit once. Thank Hod, I hav< found my dear sister again!" As she reached t he gate she sudden ly remembered her cruel position, uiu how impossible it was for her to tak< a single step toward liberating hei sister. The shoek was a great one, and she sunk down cowering and trembling while she murmured, in a choked, st i tied voice: "Oh, I'm to be sent away awaj from her." "No?no, mademoiselle," exclaimed Marianne, passionately, as she caught Henriette's hand, and pressed it tohei lips: "you need not you shall not In sent away!" "What do you mean?" asked tlx doctor, as soon as he could wipe awaj his tears, for Marianne's positive assurance start led him. "I need not be sent away?" repeated Henrictte. "Look at these guards wh( have been sent to take me, who wait forme," and she pointed to the sol diers, who stood like grim statute: ranged along the side of the yard. Aik as she looked upon their stern face: that seemed never to have known what pity was. her grief broke out anew. "Oh, Louise! my sister, my poor dar ling!" she walled, while she covcret her face with her hands as if to shu out the sight of those who were t< force her to leave France and her sis ter, branded as a fallen woman. "1 tell you that you need not go,' M n t?l?i /? * < r<. ? 1 i Ill.liau u .'I <11 1UIIIK , < I J?> ' 4'What do you moan?" was the mi happy girl's question.
