CHAPTER XII.
BLANCHE.
Charley awoko next morning with
a new object of interest to engage his
thoughts the promised introduction
to Miss Mewson. lie had asked nu
merous questions of Mrs. Wilkins re
specting her, all of which had been
answered in the highest strain of eu
logy, ao he caruo to the conclusion
that if Miss Blanche deserved half the
laudations which were heaped upon
her by her faithful servitor, uhu must
Indeed be an angel upon earth.
He was highly dissatisfied with the
pale, thin face that he saw reflected
in the glass, as he carefully performed
liis toilette, and feared that it would
not favorably impress this wonderful
beauty. He was equally dissatisfied
with his costume, which, never re
markable for cut, now looked worse
than ever upon his somewhat shrunk
en body.
Mrs. Wilkins led the way to the
modest sitting-room, opened the door,
and announced "Mr. Charles."
The next Instant ho felt his hand
.gently pressed, a pair of kind eyes
looking into hia face, and heard a
kind voice, with a pretty foreign ac
cent, saying, "Ah, monsieur, I am eo
glad to see you eo much recovered.
Pray Bit down there, in the easy chair
here, quite away from the draught."
At first the face of the speaker dis
appointed him. His ideas of her
beauty had been raised to suoh an ex
travagant height-by Mrs. Wilkins'
glowing descriptions, that ho expect
ed to see something more than mor
tal ; and had he been presented to a
ylvification of some creation of Phidi
as, instead of to imperfect flesh and
blood, it might not have realized the
Idea that ho had created in his imag
ination. But. as tho sweet reality
grew upon him,, ho proferred it to the
monstrous perfection of his dream.
Perfect beauty if it exists is too
often cold. Tho beauty of Blanche
Lewson was neither. It was child
like, yet warm. A wonderful luxuri
ance of soft brown hair, of a chestnut
ehade, rippled free and untrammelled,
.save by a narrow, dark blue ribbon,
which held it back from her face, over
her neck and shoulders. Her eyes
were of tho same brown hue, not
sparkling, but soft as velvet, large and
pensive-looking beneath their long
lashes, and with a world of poetry in
them. Her mouth might have been
pronounced by a connoisseur too
large, but the beauty of the teeth com
pensated for this trifling defect. Her
complexion was pale, and of that
shade common in handsome French
women. Her figure, although petite,
was perfectly matured, and exceed
ingly graceful. Her dress, although
of plain materials, was made and
worn with that exqusite grace which
at once declared her not to bo an Eng
lishwoman. rt was tho first time that Charley
had ever conversed on terms of equal
ity witbr a lady he felt awkward and
restrained; and while she, with that
cnarmiug abandon and freedom of
manner, so grateful after the frigidi
ty of English women, conversed
pleasantly and naturally upon a doz
en different subjects, ho could only
talk in monosyllables.
: Presently Mr. Lewson camo in and
joined them.
"Ah, this looks like recovery ,' he
said' warmly shaking Charley by the
Hand; "but you are still weak. You
must not over-exert your small
strength. Your pulse, too, is faster
than it should bo how is that? Isee
Blanche has been chattering too
much she tired you."
"Oh, no, indeed, sir !' cried Char
ley, eagerly. "She has been talking
to amuse me ; but I fear I have been
very stupid.''
"Stupid I Bahl What can a man
be but stupid who has just risen from
a sick-bed? Why, man, there is no
blood in your body to animate your
bruin ! If I hear any more such non
sense, I shall send 3ou back to your
bed room for a week. We will talk
you shall listen for the present. Now
let us have a little music-something
from Beethoven something grnnd
and soothing, something that will
foil lilrn n rrrant nntm Tinnn IT10 critll '
lllll I11V t CiUU .C.U4 MIJISLJ b..u uvu..
Blanche eat down to tho piano and
played the "Pastoral Symphony."
Charley had once or twice heard the
piano thumped according to the usual
practice of young ladies, who seem to
consider that the only method of get
ting music out of that ill-used instru
ment is to beat it until it shrieks ; but
he had never before heard invsic with
a soul in it. That glorious harmony
(did indeed fall upon him lika a great
calm.
When the piece was concluded, Mr
Lewson said that his patient must
now go back to his own room ; but
that if he found him no worse the
next morning for the change, he
should dine with them the following
day. So Charley, somewhat reluotant
ly, was compelled to take leave.
"What a stupid boob' 'sho must
have thought mo !" he said to himself
ashe went back to his solitude. "I
could not find a word to say for my
self. What a charming creature sho
is!" he sighed. He was very
thoughtful during the rest of that
day ; and Mrs. Wilkins, when she
came to keep him company in tho
evening, could get only random an
swers to her repeated attempts to en
gage him In conversation,
"Well, Blanche, what do you think
of our patient?'' asked Mr. Lewson.
"I can scarcely tell, papa," she an
swered, muslngiy. "He is gene, and
can scercely speak for mauvais honle."
"That is the Englishman's mala
dy," replied her father; "but he will
soon cure of that. He is but a boy,
and there is noble stuff in him. I
watched hi3 face while you were
playing that grand Beethoven. All
ms soui was in ms ej'es, anu very
beautiful it looked, peering out of
them, called forth by sympathy with
glorious harmony."
Daily, and almost hourly, did Char
ley now gain strength, and soon all
restrictions, except those of early
hours, were removed from his course
of life. Constant intercourse with
Blanche soon cured him of his .gene,
and his 7nauvaishonte. but not of his
sense of inferiority to her. What did
he know of great muscians of Mo
zart, of Haydn, of Mendelssohn ; of
great poets of Beranger, of Racine,
ofLamartine, of Byron, or Shelley,
or Shakspere? His knowledge was
that of a schoolboy, nothing more.
But he set to work to supply his de
ficiencies, aud frequently read in her
favorite authors until two or three
o'clock in the morning.
Foetry was a study congenial to his
mind, and he made rapid progress in
it. How proud he was when he
could converse with Blanche, though
ever so little, upon her pet subjects
when he could do something more
than listen with rapt attention ; but
still how far how very far ho felc
himself behind her! That thought
would set him to work again harder
than ever.
Ah! the Elyslan happiness of those
days! What in an after life, however
happy, could approach It. The soul,
in each a real Psyche, bursting forth
from the chrysalis state of childhood,
spreading forth its tender wings in
the glorious sunshine of a now exist
ence; heaven and earth all so beauti
ful ; never dreaming of the demon
Satiety, the ogre that devours love
and every joy of life, and transforms
even the golden apple3 of Hesperides
into dust and ashes.
Although steeped to -the very lips in
both the poetry of sound and of words,
Blanche could not bo called sentimen
tal. Tho vivaoity and firo of her
southern blood redeemed her from
such a disease. Her love of the beau
tiful and tho ideal was the spontan
eous expression of a fervent, enthusi
astic nature, which finding insuffici
ent food in the real world, soared into
the empyrean among tho gods in
search of Ambrosia aud Hippocrene.
And Charley caught sparks of her
Promethean fire, and hungered for
celestial food.
What could come of such an inter
course as this of this mutual Inter
change of sympathies of this daily
ilight from the plain of the world to
the heights of Olympus? Tho dull
est reader can answer tho question
without a moment's thought. Yes, it
was the old, old story of which poets
and romancists never weary of writing
and of which men and women never
tire of reading the old story that be
gan the moment that Eve was -first
revealed to Adam's enraptured eyes,
and will never end until the last
trumpet sounds the death-note of all
One bright, sunny morning he and
Blanche were reading there together
some love-story, never mind what,
there are so many in tho world to
choose from.
"Ofttimes by that reading
Their eyes were drawn together and tho hue
Fled from their altered cheek."
"Then he . . .

All trembling, kiss'd. The book and writer
both
Were love's purveyors. In Us leaves that day

human passions, aud tho
man fades into eternity.
And did Mr. Lewson see anything
of this? Where was that subtle
knowledge of the human heart, as
read throueh its outwnrd inHionrnr
tho face, of which he boasted? Was It
all theory, or did he know all this,
and know approvingly ?
Day after day tho pupil sat at the
feet of his beautiful mistress, and
listened to tho eloquence of her lips,
drinking in the words of this Hebe
until his brain reeled with the Intox
icating nectar; and her woman's
"heart responded -vvith proud gratitude
to this homage so delicately flattering.
At tho back of the house was a
well-kept garden, filled with such
flowers as were hardy enough to en
dure the smoke of London ; it was a
remnant of those days when men
wroto about the "sweet shades of
Pentonville." In this garden, in a
summer-house, overspread by creep
ing plants, he spent many hours dur-
the period of his convalescence.
Yes; it was atory of Francesea de
Rimini over -gaiu, but stripped of
its guilt; for their love was as pure
and stainless as tho heaven above
them.
Andso-they became lovers.
"Your father must know of this,"
he said, before they parted; "there
must be no secret after all he has done
for me. What will he say to my dar
ing to lift my eyes to yotr? Turn me
out of doors for my presumption?"
"You do not know my father, or
you would not think so hard of him.
Seek him at once. I have no fear of
tho result."
And she clung to him with redoubl
ed fondness, and looked up into his
face with proud tenderness at this
proof of a noble mind.
Before this memorable morning the
young man had comenced his duties
as secretary. These duties oonsisted
in making extracts from various au
thors in French and Latin Greek he
did not understand ; and when Mr.
Lewson's own library did not supply
tho required works, he had to seek
them in the British Mus'eum, in the
reading room of which he spent much
time.
The work being prepared was a stu
pendous History of Democracy, an
cient and modern, from its foundation
in Greece, until the revolutions of '4S.
Mr. Lewson had already been upon
this task many years, but had not yet
advanced beyond the classical ages.
It was one of those books which are
never to be more than fragments, as
tho longest life would not suffice for
their completion a mass of materials
left behind for more expeditious man
ipulators to found au enduring fame
upon, while the very name of the la
borious collector is buried with him In
the grave.
Mr. Lewson was an ardent republi
can, not of tho new, but of tho classic
school, of which tho Girondists have
been tho only modern disciples. To
have raised the masses to equal rights
with the eduoated, would haveappear
ed to him a monstrous theory. He
would have founded an aristocracy of
intellect, in which each man would
have been weighed by his genius and
attainments. Intellect of every kind,
whether that of reason or imagination
ho worshipped with idolatrous en
thusiasm. In his eyes, all social dis
tinctions should bo prostrated before
that shrine.
Further acquaintance- with the
youth had given him a high opinion
of his abilities, and a belief that he
had discovered a mind which he
could mould into perfect congeniality
with his own. To find such an one
had been the most ardent desire of his
life ; for noble aud beautiful as was
trio eoul of lilanohc, it was essentially
feminine, and Iaoked tho masculine
vigor necessary to be pertectly en
rapport with his own.
Ho had watched the
tachment between tho
people with delighted
and when, with much
and blushes, Charley confessed his
love, and with downcast eyes and
trembling limbs awaited his sentence,
the father's heart leaped' towards
him as he had been his own sou.
Willi streaming eyes, he clasped him
in his tlnns.
"My noble boy," ho said, in broken
accents, "you have passed triumph
antly through the ordeal ; you have
given me the last proof I wished for
of a noble mind, I have seen it,
known it all, perhaps even before you
yourself guessed tho secret of your
heart. From this hour I regard you
as my son. Love each other, and
may heaven bles3 your loves !"
Who could attempt to paint the
youth's grateful happinefis? He
would, then and there, in the fulness
of his heart, have poured forth the
whole story of his life, of his hopes,
and doubts, and fears, but Mr. Lew
son peremptorily forbade it.
"What do I want to know of your
parents, of your genealogy?' he
cried contemptuously. "I despise
such things. No, no; I will not
have the sacred confidence of such an
hour as this marred by these paltry
details of a false system. What Is the
world ad its- opinians to me and
Blanche? We live apart from it,
among these" laying his hands upon
his books, "the demi-gods of the
earth. God has stamped vou with
His own Baal nobility of soul.
What care I for the petty hall-marks
with which a Eordid society distin
guishes the comparative excellences
of its wretched tinsel?''
And then be called- Blanche into
the room.
"You are but boy and girl now," he
said, "and years must elapse before
you think of marrying. But love

world of each other, and wait patiently ; and
may the good God in heaven bless
you both !!'
Ah, that happy day ! Cannot each
reader realize It for himself, without
my help? Miserable, indeed, is the
man or woman who has no such gold
en memory to look back upon. Their
happiness was too great for words,
and almost the whole day afterwards
they sat side by side, clasping each oth
er's hands, but speaking"; little.
Ana tnus tney sat tuns evening
in the little arbor where they had
first discovered their love, until tho
stars camo out and looked down upon
them with their bright twinkling
eyes, as they looked down upon Ad
am and EVe In tho garden, and as
they will look down upon millions of
lovers In tho ages to come.
In such delioious dreams the days
glided on. Was he again forgetting
his vow? No, not forgetting, but it
was so difficult to rouse from tho
sweet lethargy of suoh a paradise to
battle with the stern realties of life.
But the awakening was coming a
rude and terrible one.
Ono day, when returning from the
British Museum, Charley thought he
would make a call upon Mrs Gripley ;
after tho good wishes and the desire
to see him that she had so warmly
expressed, ho considered it to bo a
compliment that he owed to her. The
task was not a pleasant one, from the
disagreeablo reminiscences that tho
sight of the houso would call up, and
which appeared even darker than be
fore beside his present happluess.
The street-door was open, so he
walked in, and made for tho kitchen.
The sound of Mrs. Gripley's voice In
angry tones camo up the stairs, and
made him pause for a moment.
He heard her say, "I tell you, Mr.
Pontifex, that I can't, and" I won't
let it run any longer, and I won't
listen to any more excuses. You must
either pay up, or at least give mo half,
or you can't sleep under this roof an
other night."
"But, my dear madam,", said tho
mild accents of Mr. Pontifex, "I have
it not. As soon as I have it, you
shall have it what can possibly be
more reasonable ? Ex nihilo nihil fit.
Aud my cash is well described- by the
indeclinable noun, nihil.
"Don't jabber your outlandish gib
berish to me," cried Mrs. Gripley,
getting moro angry than ever, "and
don't argufy any more, cos' it's no
use. I shall lock your bedroom door,
and take the key out; and the sooner
you olear out, tho better."
"But, my dear madam, I shall soon
have remittances. My friend, the
Marquis of Rockminster "
"The Marquis of Fiddlestick!" In
terrupted Mrs. Gripley, irreverently.
"A pretty fellow you aro to talk about
markises, that can't pay the rent of a
bedroom !"
At this moment Charley appeared
upon the scene. But ho was so alter
ed in appearance by his well-cut
clothes, and bright confident manner,
that she did not know him until he
spoke. Her angry tone immediately
changed to one of pleasure, and she
very warmly greeted her ex-lodger,
expressing great pleasure at the visit.
"And how are you, Mr. Pontifex?"
said Charley, turning to that gentle
man, who was sitting very disconso
lately in a corner.
"Well in health, Mr. Charles, but
poor in pocket," was the reply. "I
am happy to see that tho fickle god
dess has smiled upon you since last
we mot, although your humblo ser
vant is still in the shadow of her
frown.''
"Yes ; you see," answored Charley,
with something of triumph in his
tone, "I havo succeeded in obtaining
employment even without recom
mendations." "My dear boy, receive my congrat
ulations upon me iact; anu all I can
say is, that you were born under a
lucky star. By the bye, I have a few
words for your private ear. Excuse
me one moment. Mrs. Gripley?"
He drew Charley into a corner.
"My dear Charles," he said, in a
low voice, "I am in a slight dilemma
just now. The fact is, I havo over
drawn my banker's account. Were
my friend tho Marquis in town, I
could draw upon him for a hundred
or two in an instaut. Mrs. GrinleV',
illogical as usual, insists upon her
rent; now, if you havo a sovereign
about you that you do not know what
to do with "
"I havo not so much with mo," an
swered Charley ; "but if Mrs. Gripley
will take my word "
"Oh, that I am sure she will !" In
terrupted Pontifex. "Mrs. Gripley,
my youug friend here will be my
hnrwl
"As far as one soverign goes," put
In Charley.
Mrs. Gripley very willingly arrang
ed the affair this-way.
"Thank you, Mr. Charles thank
you, my dear boy !" said Pontifex with
genuine feeling in his tone, "You
have dono mo a real service, and if
ever I can do you any service in re
turn, depend upon it, I will. But,
on tho honor of a gentleman, you
shall have the money back.'
Charley told him not to trouble
about that ; for he liked the man,
spito his eccentricities, and was not
sorry to have the opportunity of serv
ing him. And a day camo when he
had no reason to regret his generous
action.
And so, Mr. Charles, I s'poso you
are doing well?' said Mrs. Gripley,
Mr. Pontifex having retired to his
bed room for a few moments, after
telling Charley not to go without see
ing him. 'And might I take tho lib
erty of asking what business you're
in?
Charley told her that he was secre
tary to a gentleman.
'Dear me ! that must be very gen
teel, and requires a good scholar.
Well, I am very glad to hear it, as I
think you are a deserving young man.
But don't you let Pontifex get your

An exchange has the following : A
simple disciple of Ike Walton, while
strolling along tho river's side the
other day, came upon an old straw
hat and au empty whisky bottle, close
to tho water's edge. Ho contemplat
