Icutny place it was, with the lis ancestors looking dark uicir armor, and paintings t\ from the hands of old

.ly.jiiui

masters, that he had collected in his ramblings. He had forgotten none of them, and gave her the history of each. "This is my mother. A perfect woman. I can hardly think her earthly. Ah if she harfliVed my life would have been different."

It was a picture of a fair, delicate wo man her beautiful face was surrounded by rich waves of raven hair, the blue eyes full of tender light—iuch a face as one would want for a home angel. "Who is this?" asked Grace, as they paused Wefore a dark, brilliant woman with a face proud as June, but of a rare beautv. "What do you think of her?" he asked with a kind of tremor in his voice. "I do not like her, for all her wonder ous beauty.' She lacks soul, and would crush everything in the way of her ambition, even to her own heart. Who is she?" "Come to this window seat, and I will tell you her history."

Seating her beside him, with one arm thrown carelessly around her waist, the little hands clasped in his, he told her the story of his love and its betrayal, keeping back nothing except the new love that tad blossomed into life. As he proceeded. he f'lt the hand* nestled in his grow cold, hut he could not see the pallor of the bright face, or the look of pain that crept into the brown eyes, as she looked into her heart and found how dear this handsome guardian had become—dearer for his blindness and dependence upon her. But the light came back to her eyes as he told- her how his lovs for the false syren had died a sptedy death, and peace had come back to him once more.

Seating himself atjthe piano one evening, he drew forth' a few rich notes then, as his thoughts wandered back to the past, he gave them utterance in an improvisation. As lie closed the piano, he turned to her, feeling her presence intuitively.

Grace, vou here Yes. I have been, listening to your music. What is it that pains you so

Nothing now. .1 can have 110 pain while you are with me, my sunbeam." It was your hand, Grace,, that led m? back to the sunshing,, glying me a new hope in life. I can never repay you for your kindness, and the vwcet, blossoms vou have cast over my life. What shall I do without you? For, if I remember rightly, you are to retui'n to school in a few weeks."

I will not go back to school. You need me, and I am hajfpier here than elsewhere. Please let me stay," she said pleadingly, with an earnestness that was hard to resist

I can not, Grace," he said, drawing here closely to him. "I must not be so elfish. I will fry and be contented till our school life is ended, when you must stay with me till you are married." "Then I shall stay a'.wavs. But come, us godowiv.ind liave sot))e music* and shake otl' the gloom that these pictures have cast over us."

S ii' lv sped the intervening weeks, ringing the time of separation. Mr. r!,'a*on determined to execute a plan i.Mig thought of ro visit Germany, and 1 tr it 11 an ei)r\u"nf oculist'if there was any hope of restoring iiis sight. If so, he would try to win this sweet human tlower that "had shed so much fragrancc over lvs life if not—but he would not think of that. lie drew her to a seat beside him, and clasping her closely, as if to defy the wirldto separate them, said," "Gracc, Grace, 1 can not let you go.

Forgive me, darling I did not mean to tell you this, but in the thought of sepa ration I forgot all but the pain it would bring. Only tell me this, Grace. If we had met earlier, ere the darkness came, could you have loved me?"

Her" face had grown very 'vhite! as'she listened but the crimson tide rolled in rosy waves ov«*r neck and brow'she answered softly, "I have loven you from the first.

precious than anything

Ise in life is the love of Henry Gieason." "Grace, do not deceive me. I could not oear it. Tell me truly. Do'you—can ou love a blind man he cried, with a face whiter than her own.

You obdurate mortal Cant't you tell that I love you, since every action proclaims how dear you are tome? Dearer, far, on account of the darkness hrouding your life," she said, creeping losely into the shelter of his arms.

With a low cry of intense joy, and a face radiant with this new-found happiness, he gathered her to him, pressing kisses 011 the dewy lips, calling h«y by everv sweet, endearing name that comes so readily as such times. 'I am "going to Germany to-morrow, Grace. I have a faint hope that my

will be restored. If not and I come back blind still, will you be mine?" Yours always! The greatest happiness of my life will be to make the sunshine of yours."

Six months have passed swiftly bv on golden wings freighted with joy and sorrow, sometimes sun-shine predominating. At Gle,asonwood all was bustle and preparation, servants stumbling over each other in their zeal to have all prepared foi the coming of their beloved master, who was returning home, but whether with restored sight he did not say, and his silence they attributed to disappointment.

What a state of excitement Grace was in. fluttering from one room to another, like a humming-bird, and glancing down the long line of road to see if it were coming. She had donned a dress of white, with clusters of forget-me-nots embroidered over it, the delicate lace sleeves looped up with sprays of the same while a cluster, nestled in green leaver, trembled on her bosotn. She had changed little, save that the face had grown faier, with a loveliness that seemed scarce earthly, and the white brow had expanded, as the thoughts and aspirations found fulfillment.

She had grown very weary of waiting, and nestled in Henry Gleason's chair, drawn in the shadow of the crimson curtains, where she could see the arrival of the carriage, had fallen asleep. A beau* tiful picture she made, with ihe white lids vailing the brown eves, the little holded. So thought Mr. Gieason, as he opened the door noiselessly, and stood with brimming eyes, gazing upon the sweet sleeper. 4.- Fairer than ever his fancy had painted her was the face that had been his guiding star, the one sweet hope in life. He kissed her softly. The brown eyes opened

and

rested upon his face a moment in

bewilderment then, as she recognized him, they grew radiant with joy, and

."tMt "i4

with a glad cry, she was folded to his heart. ••But yon do not ask me about my sight. Can you still be the wife of a blind man I will release you if you wish."

I sec you want to get rid of me. But I wiil not accept my freedom. You are dearer to me than all else in life. Will that content you. most unbelieving mortal? she asked, placing over his mouth one little hand, that soon grew rosy with his kisses.

More than content, my sweet songbird, For Heaven has given me the best treasure in life in your love, and also restored my sigit.

And the irk eyes gazed down into her own with a radiant joy that almost blinded her. For a moment she cculd scarcely comprehend her great happiness, then a glad cry went wringing out into the darkness, as the 6trong arms that were to be her protection henceforth enclosed her, while a grand thanksgiving swept up to t'ie golden portals from two gratfnl hearts.

So we leave thetn, knowing that their lives would be full of a perfect joy and love that casteth out fear, and that after the darkness a glorious dawning came, promising a ble* *eJ f. -n.

WILLS.

As a satire upon the custom in vogue in London of publishing the wills of deceased persons, London Punch prints the following, assuming that it is "ni-t from the London Illustrated News," the chief journal that makes such publications:

The will and testament of Horatio Growler of Grumpy Ilall, dated Novem ber, iS46,has been proved under £1,000, 000, whereby he bequeaths his property in equal shares to his brothers John and James. liy a codicil, dated August, 1854, he revokes his bequest to John, on the ground th Ht the latter has married a wife with a squint, By a codicil dated Jan uary, 1861, he leaves all his property to the Earlswood asylum for idiots, with (he intent of thereby equitably providing for his brothers and their families. A codicil, dated June, 1867, contains mere personal abuse ot his relations, as do codicils dated May, 1870. and July, 1S72. A codicil, dated" September, 1875, leaves all his property to his cook, "the only woman he knew who could make a leg of mutton last, fram Si'iiday to Saturday." It is probable that this will, will be disputed, The will I lannali .Maria Sarah, relict of John Foodies, dry-salter, dated June, 1S70, has been proved .under $450,000. Testatrix leaves to her four sons $.250 each, and to each of her seven daughters $500, and bequeathes the remainder to the Voundirg of an hospital for lost dogs and ca s. The will of

Patrick O'Flanagan, dated "either July August," 1S72, has been proved under $1 50,00000. By it $25,030 are left to the British Museum, to purchase Jhe ancient sculptures of Ireland $50,00* to the National gallery, to encourage Irish art, and $50,000 to the Zoological society, to form and maintain a collection of Jrish wild beasts. The testator leaves all his kingdom of Tipperary to his brother in-law, Augustus O'Leary, "hereby apologizing for having broken the laters head at Ion mel fair," and also the ancient regal crown, "when that thief Lanagan bripgs it back." By a codicil ot a .later date, testator bequeaths so much of his blue stone whiskey "as may not be consumed at the time of his death,", to his cousins, 011 the condition that "they do not make beasts of themselves at his funeral." The will of Lycurgus Solomon, Journalistdated March, 1874, has been proved under $4,000, which sum has been left toestablish an asylum for indigent authors.

To Fitzmorris'Belvidere, actor, is left the critique wherein testator declared that the aforesaid Fitzmorris Belvidere was "the very worst actor that had ever tried to bring Shakspeare into contempt." To Montmorency St. John, dramatist and actor, is left the critique wherein testator declared that the aforesaid Montmorency St. John was "as little capable of acting the part of a gentleman as he was of describing one." To Georgina La Rose, novelist is left the critique wherein testator de clared that the aioresaid Georgina La Rose, "had better cease staining her fingers with ink and devote whatlittte intellect she is endowed with to the making of slippers, or the turning of a mangle." To the managers of the different metropolitan theaters are left several unacted tragedies, and to the various puplishing firms of London are bequeathed some hundred weight of manuscript. The wid of William Sikes, gentleman of la.ge, dated OC..,IS69, has been proved under a nominal sum. To his "firm pal," Jack, he bequeaths his favorite jemmv to hi^ "Rorty Cully,' Bill, the "tickler," which "lie bunged from the old cove on Denmark hill ', and to his Lcary Bloke," Bob, his unexpired ticket-of-leave.

A MODEL Crtif IUIOM.

Says the New York correspondent of the Chicago Tribune: Just now the critics and their critiques are the subject ofcriticism as well as the acting of actors. Style they say, is everything, and now conies one" of the most "censorious of the whole number, a critic who blushes for the indecency of the opera bouffe, and, in writing of "Baba" at Niblo's, thus refers to Miss Eliza Weathersby: We are bound

lady's success in spectacle is due to her legs. Critically considered, they are the best pair of legs that have graced the New York stage for manv a day. The foot is sma 1 and delicate and runs off to a very small ankle, whijh gradually and with perfect symmetry spreads to a well developed calf, neither gross nor scraggy kut holding that juste milieu which a painter or a sculptor would most trnly appreciate, and which is so rare in the female leg. The calf loses its swell aboul one third°up, as it should, and diminishes to a small and well-made knee, one of main beauties of the leg. The articulation is refined and slight, and again runs into a tight which has the exact length commensurate with that of the lower limb, and possessing the same gradual bwell. It is a pity-to think that such beautiful legs but fade away and serve as food for worms just as would those ot the most bandy and knock-kneed of that fearful ballet crowd. Miss Jennie Weathersby does well to conceal her legs in Turkish trousers' as they cannot hold a candle to her sister's.

Louis Napoleon said of Cardinal Aritonelli that he was worth to be the successor of Richelieu. Delightful in a drawing room, charming as Tallerand with the ladies, haughty to inferiors, of commanding presence, with an eagle eye —a man who know his power and was not afraid to use it.
