Ilazcltlne & Co., 171, Walnut Street, frtt nor below Gibson Howe, The Caralrr onicer. Col. Eugene Merville was an attache of Napoleon's stati. : Ha was a 'soldier in the true sense of tbe word devoted to his profession, and brave as a lion. Tho' very handsome and of fine bearing, he was of humble birth a mere child of the camp, and hid f ;llowpd the drum and bugle from boyhood. Every step in the line of promotion had been woq by the stroke of his "sabre, and his promotion from major of the' cavalry was . for the gallant deed .which transpired ' on the battle field beneath .the Emperor's own eye. Murat, the Prince of cavalry offic ers, loved him like a brother, and taught him all that his own good taste and natu ral instinct had led him to acquire before. It was the carnival season in Paris, and young Merville found, himself at the masked ball in the French Opera House. Better adapted in his taste to the field than to the boudoir, he flirts but little with the gay figures that cover the floor, and joins but seldom in the giddy waltz. But, at last, while standing thoughtfully, and regarding the assembled throng with vacant eye, his attention was suddenly aroused by the appearance of a person in a white satin dominoe, the universal ele gance of whose figure, manner and bear ing, convinced all that her face and mind must be equal to her person in loveliness. Though in so mixed an assembly, still there was a dignity and reserve in the manner of the white dominoe that rather repulsed the idea of familiar address, and it was some time before the young soldier found courage to speak to her. Some alarm being given, there was a violent rush of the throng towards the door, where, unless assisted, the lady would have materially suffered. Eugene Merville offers his arm, and with his broad shoulders and stout .frame wards off the danger. It was a delightful mo ment; the lady spoke the purest French, and was witty, fanciful and captivating. Ah ! pray raise that raak, and reveal to me the charms of feature . that must accompany such a sweet .voice and so graceful a form as you possess.' You would perhaps be disappointed.' No, I am sure not.' Are you so very confident?' Yes, I feel that you are beautiful. It cannot be otherwise.' 'Don't be too sure of that,' said the do minoe. 'Have you ever heard cf the Irish Poet Moore's story of the veiled prophet of Khorassan how, when he disclosed his countenance, its hideous as pect killed his beloved one? How do you know that I shall not turn out a veiled prophet of Khorassan ?' Ah, lady, your very word convinces me to the contrary,' replied the enraptured soldier, whose heart begun to feel as it had never felt before ; he was already in love. She eluded his efforts at discovery, but. permits him to hand her to her carriage, which drives off in the darkness, and though he throws himself upon his fleet est horse, he is unable to overtake her. The young French colonel becomes moody, he has lost his heart and knows not how to do. He wanders hither and thither, shuns former places of amuse ment, avoids his military companions, and in short is miserable as a lover well" can be, thus disappointed. One night, just as he had left his hotel, on foot, a figure muffled to the very ears, stopped him. Weil, monsieur, what would you with me V asktd the soldier. You would know the name of the white dominoe,' was the reply. I would indeed !' replied, the officer hastily. Hov can it be done?' Follow me.' ; To the end of the earth. ; if it will bring me to her.' . 'But you must he blindfolded.' Very well.' Step into this vehicle.' . I am at your command.' And away rattled the young1 soldier and Ihis strange companion. 'This maybe a trick,' reasoned Eugene Merville, but I have no fear of personal violence. I am armed with this trusty sabre, and can take care of myself. ' But there was no cause for fear, since he soon found the vehicle stopped, and he was led blindfolded into the house. When the bandage was removed from his eyes, he found himself in a richly furnished boudoir, and before him stood - the domi noe, just as he had met her at the mask ed bail. To fall upon his knees, and tell her how much he. thought of her since their separation, was a3 natural as to breathe, and he did so most gallantly and sincerely. . Shall I believe all you say ?' Let me prove it by any test you may put upon me.' Know, then the feelings you avow are mutual. Nay, unloose your arm from tny waist, I have something mo.e to say.' 'Talk on forever, lady. Your voice is music in my ears. 'Would you marry me, knowing of me than you do now?' If you were to go to the altar masked' he replied. Then I will test you.' How, lady?' For one year be faithful to the love you have professed, and I will be yours as truly as Heaven shall spare my'life !' O, cruel, cruel suspense.' You demur? Nay, lady, 1 snail tulau your lajunc- CISCISSATI. Peile's In Seeds, Trees, Shrubs. Roses, Bedding ; tions, as I promised.' andtVl Fruits, fcc. vlnl If, at the , expiration of Vyear, you do not hear from me, then the contract shall be null and void. : Take this half ring,' she continued, 'and when I supply, the broken portion, I will be yours.'. He' kissed the little ' emblem," swore again and again to be faithful, and press ing, her hand to his lips, bade her adieu. He was conducted, away again, as mys teriously as he had been brought thither, nor could he, "by possible means7 discover where he had been ; his companion re jecting all bribes, and.; even refusing' to answer the simplest question! . . ' 1 Months roll on. Col. Melville is true to his vow, and happy in the anticipation of love. Suddenly he was ordered to an embassy to Vienna, the gayest of all the European capitals, about the time that Napoleon is planning to marry the Arch Duchess Maria Louisa. The young col onel is handsome, manly, and already dis tinguished in arms, and becomes at once" a great favorite at court: every effort be ing made by the women to captivate him, but in vain, he is constant and true to his vow. But his heart was not made of stone ; the vqry fact that he had entertained such tender feelings for the white dominoe, has doubtless made him more susceptible than before. ' ' At last he met the young Bareness Caroline Von Waldorff, and in spite of his vows she captivates him, and he sec retly curses the engagement he had made at Paris. She seems to wonder at what she believes to be his devotion, and yet his sense of honor was so great though, he felt he really loved the young Baroness, and even that she returned his affection, still he had given his word, and it was sacred. The satin dominoe is no longer the ideal of his heart, but assumes the most repulsive form in his imagination, and becomes in place of his good angel his evil genius. Well, time rolls on: he is to return in a few days; it is once more the carnival season, and in Vienna, too, that gay city. He joins in the features 'of the masked ball, and what wonder fills his brain, when about middle of the evening, the white dominoe steals behind him, in the same white satin dress he had seen her wear a year before at the French Opera House in Pans ? W as it not a fancy ? I come, Colonel Eugene Merville, to hold you to your promise,' she said, lay ing her hand lightly upon his arm. Is this reality or a dream ?' asked the amazed soldier. - '' Come, follow me, and you shall see that it is a reality,' continued the mask, pleasantly. 'I will.' 'Haye you been faithful to your pro mise V asked the dominoe as they retired into a soloon. Most truly in act, but, ala3, I fear not in heart.' Indeed.' : It is true, lady, that I have seen and loved another, though my vow to you has kept me from saying so to her.' And. who is this that you thus love?' I will be frank with you, and you will keep my secret!' ' " ' , . ' . Most religiously.' It is the Baroness Von WTaldorf.' he said with a sigh. m And'you really love her ?' Alas! only too dearly,' said the "sol dier sadly. Nevertheless, I must hold you to your promise. Here is the other half of the ring; you can produce its mate?' Here, it is, said Eugene. Then I, too, keep my promise !' said the dominoe raising her mask", and show ing to his astonished view the face of Baroness Von Waldorff! Ah, it was the sympathy of true love that attracted ' me after all,' exclaimed the young soldier as he pressed her to his heart, She had seen and loved him for his manly spirit and character, and" having found by enquiry that he. was worthy of her love, she had managed this delicate intrigue and had tested him, and now gave to him her wealth, title and every thing. They were married with great pomp, and accompanied the Arch Duchess to Paris. Napoleon, to crown the happiness of his favorite, niade him at once General of Division. LIbcralltj. What a blessing to tradesmen is a lib eral customer ! A farmer went into a store in Boston, the other day, and j told the keeper that a neighbor of his entrus tej him with some money to expend to the best advantage, and he merfnt to do it where he was best treated. He had been used very ill by the traders in Bos ton, and he would not part with his neighbor's money until he found a man who would treat him about right. With the utmost suavity, the trader says : 'I think I'can treat you to your liking, how do you like to be treated ?' Well,' said the farmer, with a leer in his eye, 4in the first place, I want a glass of toddy,' which was forthcoming. Now, I will have a nice cigar,' says tha farmer. It was promptly handed him, leisurely lighted, and then throwing himself back in a chair, with his feet a3 high as his head, he commenced puffing away like a Spaniard. . Now, what do you want to purchase ?' says the storekeeper. . 'My neighbor handed me tu;o cents when I left home, to buy him a. plug of tobacco have you got the article ?' 'The storekeeper sloped instanter. Of Premature Spring Weather, Sidney Smith said, .in a let ter: 'We have had the mildest weather possible.' A great part of the vegetable world is deceived and beginning to blos som not merely foolish ycung plants without experience, but eld plants that have been deceived before by premature pring -and for such one has no pity. The tirds.are all taken in and are build ing, the foolish flowers are blooming. Human creatures alone are in the secret, and know what is to .happen in a week cr two. . - - Teach a child there is harm in every thing, however innocent ; and as soon as it discovers' the cheat, it won't see sin in anything. That's the reason preacher's son3 seldom turnout well, and that their daughters are married through a window. Innocence is the sweetest thing in the world, and there is more of it than foiks generally imagine. If you want some cf it to transplant, don't seek it in the en closures of cant, for it has only counter feit ones: but go to the. garden of truth and of sense. Coerced innocence is like an imprisoned'lark; open the door and it is off forever. The bird that roams the sky and grove unrestrained, knows how to dodge the hawk and protect itself; but the caged one, the moment it leaves its bars and bolts behind, is pounced upon by the fowler or the vulture. In Milwaukee, about noon last Wed nesday, a lady, returning from a morning drive, on approaching the room usually occupied by herself and husband, heard voices. She stopped, listened, jjlaced her eye to the key hole, and saw to her horror, a woman standing on the floor, and her husband in the same room fixing a shawl over her shoulders. Enraged at the infedility of her husband, she went to the hall, took down a loaced '.shot gun, returned, cocked the gun, opened sud denly the door, and deliberately shot the strange woman in the back. Her hus band screamed, when the excited and abused wife fainted. On having return ed to consciousness, she learned that the woman who had supplanted her in the affections of her husband, was one of those frames for exhibiting shawls and mantillas on,' which he that morning had brought up from the store to have re trimmed before his wife, in her usual tasty style. Not finding his wife in, he was looking at the figure, and fixing.it upas a surprise for her, when her sudden jenlousy had like to have cost him his life. Co-opcralloa oftlie Wife. No man ever prospered in the world without the co-operation of his wife. If she unites in mutual endeavors, or re wards his labor with an endearing smile, wiih what confidence will he resort to his merchandise or his farm, flyover lands, sail upon seas, meet difficulty and en counter danger, if he knows tha: he is not spending his strength in vain, but that his labor will be rewarded with the sweets of home ! Solitude arid disap pointment enter the history of every man's life; and he is but half provided for his voyage, who finds hot an associate for his happy hours, while for his months of . darkness and distress, no sympathiz ing partner is provided. Langs and Stays. In an excellent little work just publish ed on the subject of ventilation, which we commend to the notice of all interested in preserving their health, the action of the air upon the lungs and blood, and the fa tal consequences of bad air and pressure are fully explained. On the subject of stays, we are informed that 'women ought to measure from twenty-seven to twenty-nine inches round the aist, but most females do net permft themselves to grow beyond twenty-four: thousands are laced down to twenty-two, some to less than twenty inches,-and that by means of wood, whalebone and steel, the chesi is often reduced to one-half its proper size. The Woman's Rights Convention had a two days' session at Saratoga Springs some time ago, and resolved that women like men, had a right to do anything and everything which is in itself morally nsrnt. Well, asks the Springfield Republican, why do they not go and do what is right, if they've a mind to, and stop talking about it? Antoinette Brown preaches, Miss Blackwell doctors, Mrs. Oaksmith lectures, Harriet Hosmer makes statues, and Alice Cary "writes for the Ledger," and nobedy denies their right, for it is based on their ability. Women's rights are women's abilities and wishes noth ing more, nothing less.
