It contained two'aarcophagi; the first held the remains of Madame' Dorine, Ion sinco dead; .the other was new, and loro on ono aide tho letters J, P., in monogram, interworon with floura-dc-lis. Tho funeral trail) stopped ot tho Rata of the small psidco that enolosed the plaeo of burlap only tho immediate relatives followiug the bearers to tho tomb. A slender wax candle, such a is used in Cathollo churches, burnt at the foot of tho uncovered larc'ophau, costing a dim rIow over the center of tho apartment, and deepeninj? tho ahadows which seemed to huddlo together in tho corners. Uy this flickerinj; lip,ht the collin wan placed in ita granito shell, the heavy slab Isid over it reverently, sod tho oaken door revolved on its rusty hinges, shutting out unccrtaiu rava of sunshine, that had ventured to peep in on the darkncsK. Mr. Dorine, mutlled in his cloak, threw himself on the back seat of the csrriago, too.abatractod in his grief to observe that he was tho only occupant of the vehicle. Tho rottlo of wheels had died out of tho air when l'hilip opened hl eye, bewildered, like a man abruptly routed from lumber. Ho raWod himacif on one arm, and stared into the nrroundio blackneu. Where wni Tie? In a second tho truth flaahed upon him. Ho had 'ben left in tho tomb! Whilo kneeling on tho father sido of tho stono box, perhaps he had fainted, aud In the ).it snlcftia -rites hi aluonco hud frtK n uuiiOt'eed. ' His firvt emotion waj one of ratural terror. Hut thin panned aa iuickly aa it cauio. I.lfu hud ceased tu be very precious to him; and if it wcro his futo to die at Julio' sidi, waa not that tho fulfillment of tba desire which ho hud rxpio-xrd to hiuiM'lf a hundred times that morning? Was it nut cowardly to yield up tvithout it struggle Ihe lire which he should guird for her sake' Was it not Ms duty to the living and to the do id to face tho dillbultie of his portion, and to overcome them, if it were iu human 0ei? The vau lo ir t'f the supernatural, tliut would ciTc t rnvst men in a similRr situstion, found no roam iu hi heat t. Ilo wa niiupty shut in a chamber fiom which it was tuvcary that he should obtain roleaao within a given period. That this chamber contained the bi ly of the woman he loved, so far from adding to tho terror of the 0.10, was a clrvumManco from which ho drew consolation, iSho wns a beauiiful white atatuo now. Her 011I via far hence: and if that puro spirit could return, would it not be to shield him witlu hor love? "It .wu impO'Otihlo that the placo ahould, not flnndcr com thought rf the kind. l'hilip cluneed to have in his poiket a b ix of wux paper which iniiokcr uiO. Alter sevonil inclTcctual sttempt, he u erode J in igniting one against tho wull, and by it momentary glare, perceived that the candle Imd been left in tho - tomb This would servo hint in examining the fi atcnina of the vault. If he could force t e inner door by tneuns, and reach tho grultirg, of which ho had an ind'11tinet recollection, ho might hope to make bitmelf heard. Hut tho oiken door was immovable, as a solid a tho wall itxelf, into which it fitted air tight. Kvon If ho had hnd the rc ut!itc toola, thero was no fastenings to bo removed; tho hinges were set on tho ouihido. Having rtfu-ortainel t)'&, he replaeod the candle on tho floor, and leaned against the wall thoughtfully, watching tho .blue ran ol tho flame that wived to and fro, thieatening to detach itself from the wick. "At ell events," he thought, "the phce is rentilated." Suddenly l'hilip sprung forward and extinguished tho liht. Ilia exigences depended on that caudlo. lie had read somewhere, in somo socount of htpwreck, how tho survivor had lived for days upon a few candles which one of the paiengcr had insanely thrown, into the longboat. And hero ho hid boon burning away his very life. Hy the transient illumination of one of tho taper, ho looked at his watch. It had stopped at eleven but at eleven that day, or the proceeding night. Tho funeral, be knew. Iiod lelt tho church at ten. How ihin' t"i r what duration had been his swoon?

- He piekod up the candle and seated himself on tho stono steps. Ilo was a ran guine man, this Wentworth, but os ho weighed the chance of cacapo, tho pros1ccf did not seem encouraging. Of courso ie would be mused. His dUappcaratico under the circumstances would surely alarm his friends; they would instituto a search for him; but who would think of searching' for a live man io the cemetery of Motitniartre? "The Perfect' of Police would set a hundrod.fif intelligences at work. to. find him; the Seine might be dragged, U mitcralltt turned over at tho dead house; a minute description of him would be in every detective's pocket; aud he in M. Dorine's family tomb! Yet, on tho other hand, it was here that he was last seen; from this point, a keen detective Would naturally work up the case. Then might not tho undertaker roturn for tho candlestick,' probably not left by design?, How long could he keep lifo in himself? , With unacceleratcd pnlse, - ho quietly cut tho half.burncd candle into four equal ports. 'To night," ho raeditatcd, "I will eat the first of theso pieces; to-morrow, the second; to-morrow evening, tho third; the noxt day, thelourtb; and then then I'll wait!" . . Ho had taken no breakfast that morning, unlosa a cup of coGVe can bo called a breakfast. He had nover been ?crv hungry before; ho was ravenously hungry now. Hut ho postponed tho moal as loog as practicable. It must lnvo been near midnight - according to his calculations, when he determined to try the first of his four singular repasts. The bit of wh'tto wax waa tasteless, but it served ita purPe. ... ; ' , His arpetitofor the time 'appesscd, he found a new dincomfort. Tho humidity of tho walls, ind the wind that crept

To sleep ho felt was to die; aud ho had, made up his mind to live. Very attango fancies . flitted through his head, as h groped .up sod dovrn tho stone lloor of tho duugonn. His whole lifo ,Jn . dwUii waa unrolled beforo him jika a ju up ram a; iho changa of a Tear, with its burden -of lovo. aud-death, its awect and its . b! itteroenaoa, were epitomized in 1 siiiglo second. Tho ücmto to sleep had left hirn. Hut tho keen hunger cumo again. - , .. , i i' ? ... l'hilip became- conscious that the gloom, the silence, and tho cold, were gradually concjucriug him. The foveriih activity of his .brain brought on a reaction. lie grew lethargic, ho sunk dewn on the t tepa, and thought of nothing. His hand full by huiico on ono of tho pieces of candle, he gripped it nnddovourod it mechanically. This rovivod hltu. IIow, strange," ho thought, "that Iain not thirsty. Is it po(tiblo (hut tho dampness of, the walla, wlsich I must inhale with every breath, has supplied tho need of water? Not a drop has paMcd my lips fur two days, and still I experience no thirst." Tho min u tctt wcro like hours. Now ho walked os biukly as ho dared op and down tho tomb; now ho rested against the door. Moro than onco ho was tempted to throw hiiLself upon' tho stono coffin that held Julie, iihd make no further struggle for his lifo. Only ouo pieco of candle remained, lie had eaten the third portion, not to satisfy hunger, but from a precautionary motiver Ho had taken it as a man takes some disagreeable drug, upon tho result of which hang afuty. Tho tiino was rapidly op-pro-uhliig when even this poor-substitute for nourialimciit Would bo exhausted. He dla)ed that moment. Ho guto himsolf a long fa ft this time. Tho half inch of candle which ho held in his hand was a sacred thing to him. It was his latt defente against lU-uth. , At length, with such a sinking at heart us ho had not known before, ho raited it to bis lips. Then ho paused, then he hurled the fragment across Ihe tomb, thou thooakon door was flung open, and l'hilip, with duxatcd eyes, uw M. Dorine's form shtirply d til n cd ogsiiisllha blue sky. When I hoy led htm out( hilf . blinded, into tho broad daylight, M. Dorino . Holloed that I'hilip's hair, which a short time lneo was black as a crow s had tiotually turned gray in places. Tho lean's oyes, too, had frdud; tho dirktiCHs had spoiled their lustro. And how long was he really confined in the tomb?'' 1 asked, as Mr., U: concluded tho story. ''Jut one hour and twenty mlnute! replied Mr. II smiling blandly. ' .. Mr. 11- , narrativo made a deep imprcHsioti on mo. After this it was but natural that I bould regard Mr. Wentworth with deepened interest. Mr. Wcutworth.'M began, "l", ...... He iuterrupted mo. "My name, sir,' ho said, in an ofT hand manner, ''i Jones." "Jo J Jouck!"' I gapped. 'Not Jo Jones," he roturocd coldly, "Frederick' .''."'., Mr. Jones, or whatever liiä namo Is, will never know, unles ho reads thcuo page, why a man accosted him ono morumg 4s 'Mr. Wentworth," and then -abruptly rushed down the nosrest path, and disappeared in tho crowd. Tim fact ia, I had been duped by Mr. II . Mr. II occasionally contributes a story to tho magaiioes. He had actually tried the effect of ono of his romances on me! . ". , , My hero, as I subsequently learned, is no hern at all, but a counnonplaco young muti who hns somo connection with the building of that pretty , granite bridge which will shortly span tho crooked little lake in the l'ublio Harden.

Politically, it ensures a Republican triumph in Ohio, Pennsylvania . and Now 1'ork, by greatly . increased .majorities. , Political Mattert. In a recent orticlo the 'New Orleans Cimccut somewhat severely takes to task those Northern Democrats who claim that tho Southern pboplo oagüt to continue to co-opcrato with thorn. It urpos with moro vigor than politeness three reasons for not doing so. First that when the South was led into rebellion byrelying on Democratic promises of immunity, they wero shamefully abandoned second,; that the whole theory of State Kights was put , to . the issuo of tho sword ond lost, hence it is, the hight of folly to further sacrifice peacoaod prosperity by adhering .to ita phoft; arid third, that in any event the Democratic party is utterly powerless to aid them, defeat being its normst condition, no that its continued existence- is but a provocative for radical exactions. There is ' ro much more truth than poetry, so much more fcrco than flattery ia this, (hat it sadly disturbs the nerves of thoso against whom it is raised. The St. Louis liipuhI lean lakes it up, and declares this"uurliih, misjrable spirit' is very much "calculated to we an conservatiio people from the genuine sympathy they feel for tho poor, oppresso land subjugated Southerners;'' thinks this hectoring, dvcrsooitig kind ,. of Southero talk ought to be played out; and that it was too much zeal for tho rights of the South whfch lost them political power. All of which may bo granted without at1 all breaking the force of the Crescntt'i position. . The fact latitat it is the supercrviceoblc advice of tho Northern Democrats, and the criminal ambition of the acting President, which is to blutiio for the prcnt situation. If these two had not got the idea into' their nifddy -brains, that 'by pandering toithe old .pn judlces v.f tho rebel States they could reconstruct them in their own interest, and thus 'get glory and return to power, iho South would have accepted the Mtuation, and been propeily reconstructed, ' , ' ' ' .' ' -1 I. ,!., During the recent political contest io Kentucky ono of tho most .damaging chnrges which could bo brought against a I candidate was that he had aided the Government, during tho rebellion. To have been in tho rebel army insured sue cess, and to luve been in the Union army was certain d"fat. Ooe man was cbrKed with having furnished tho Government with horses; he replid by showing that be had so arranged their delivery as to secure their capturo by John .Morgan.
