‘A dark cloud seemed to pass before mv eyes. and the chill of death was in my veins. With a last olort I grasped out. ‘Take back the wealth for which I have paid so dear. Give me but four hours more of life. and I resign my lands. my castles. my gold—all. all?‘

Ho rushed to the window and pointed to the park. 'I shall never again behold that lovely sky. that verdant lawn.‘thst silvery stream. nor never again breathe the balmy air of spring. Fool—fool that I was. The blessings that God lavis-bcs upon all were mice also. and I despised them.

All. let me not lose a moment of this precious day. to which. for me. ulnsl there will be no morrow.’ Thus saying. he rushed into the park. and disappeared among the foliage of a shady alloy.

I throw myself upon the sofa. bewildered and op rossed by what I had seen and heard. Was it in and a reality. or was I under the influence of some fantastic dream P The door was opened by a servant. who announced the Duke of 0—.

‘ He is not in danger. I trust.‘ said I.

t No.‘ replied the duke. mourniully; ‘ the disease is a mental one. Fiom his youth he suffered the most extravagant ideas of glory and ambition to gain possession of his mind. till his frame. weaken- ad by such violent emotions. was attacked by a fever. in which his life was dospaired of. Ho reco- vered. but his reason is. I fear. gone forever. The unhappy delusion under which lie labors is that be has but one day more to live.’

All was explained.

‘ Now. my young friend? continued the duke. ‘let as k of your future prospects. Towards the and of the month. I will be able to accompany you to court.’

t I am fully sensible of your kindness. my lord.’ I re lied; 'but I have given up all idea of profit- ing y your generous oflor.’

‘ How is this r exclaimed the duke. in'nnioigned oorprias; 'givo up the advantages that are almost within your grasp.’

‘ I resign them all. my lord.’

‘ Youoe man.’ said the duke. ' you knew not what. you do. Good Heavens! such a brilliant career open before you. In ten yoars—-——'

t Which would be ten years of my life loat,’ said I, with a smile.

tLost l' cried the duke ;' ‘ would it not be cheap- ly buying glory. fortune and honors? Como. come. you but jest. You will come with me to Vorasillos.’

‘No. my lord.’ I replied. in a respectful but firm. tone. ‘ I out return to Brittany. where I will over retain a grateful sense of your lordship's goodness and coodosconsion.‘

‘ This is madness—downright medaoss.’ muttered the duke. in so angry and disappointed toes.

'I feel it sound reason.‘ whispered I. as I thought of all I lied board and seen so lately.

The next morning I was on the road. Oil. with what inottprosaible delight I beheld again the sweet sky of Brittany—tho trees of my noble park—tho tenets of my ancient castle.

It is it reply to the writer who flourishes in the Islander. over the signature of “ lI.S.S.," from t‘ainpbclton. Lot 4. In this reply. ltlltl'llou is made to “ crack-liruilictl sclioolinnstcrs who t-rgrmtr iu Cumphclton." which tends to favor the opinion that the teacher there is considered an assistant to. “11.8 rt.” in writing his articles. Allow me. Sir. to state that lie is not addicted to such meddle-some habits; he could not be induced to on age ill the small business of writing: questionable not abusive articles against any one Now. “Fair Play" should remember the impropriety of making an illusion which supports and conveys a wrong idea respecting ts person who minds his own uflitirs, and considers the evil of bearing fulsc witness against any one. I presume “ ILS. S." writes without Msistaliec; probably he considers that he is not in tired of it. Some say that. ” Fair Play ” ex- pects all office; others think he has it already; until he- lievc that the OlllKTt‘rflll'Cl‘ does not. thank him for lilii trouble. anti that the teacher at Compclton does not cure a llllip for either ltllll or the "nice-giver. lie takes no pleasure in writing: rulild articles that can prodnco no possible good. He has no spleen to any one. but he al- ways calculates to jerk up any one who rubs him. I would advise " Fair Play " to visit. Cainpbclton and spend the remainder of the winter there under the tui- tion of the teacher. He would instruct hlnl without re- muneration. would keep him under good discipline, and tvoliltl allow him. if required. that. he does not. rrgctutr. “ I‘ulr l‘lay " could not. put his tilnc to better nae.

“ Sweet are the uses of adversity." Alivnltstrv does indeed teach the sons of men many valuable and salutary lessons.
