" Y'ou mistake me. I do not widi

her, that she might lie" of use to you
and hersclt and become a refined
woman. Don't let your selfish love
stand iu her light and shut it out trom
her. She sings like a prima donna

The great lustrous eyes of the child
turned imploringly to her new guar

She did not understand that Mrs.

gathered up her shawl aial departed ;
but when her teacher siwke she cried
out as if in mortal iain, and without

rushed pell-mell into the arms of a

and tearful, said. " Why little Camilla,
wliat is the 1 milter ?"
"Ob. Mr. Clavering, you are going

"Camilla, I am going away but will

" Walt for you? I am not going to

" You do not comprehend me.
Well, it is better so. Perhaps two

It was a very unlet street, and so

iu a subdued sound ; and then the bread
curtains rolled up and disclosed the
elegantly fitted stage.
Suddeiilv there was a rush

with eairor anticipation, as from the

j a mouth, soft, tender and beauti

tbev had seen all the loii!-talked-of and

V roar like the rushing of distant
waters sounded in her cars, and then
swelled into a thunder of applause;
and coming slowlv down III the splen

head erect, her eves glowing with ex
citement, her beauty enhanced by I be
elegance of her costume, Camilla, the
rUe iwor little AA-alf, tlie child of poor

But at length the curtains foil, and

on! into the light.
"Camilla, little Camilla, is it yon?
Have I been listening to my little girl
this glorious evening ? Speak to ine!
1 am bewildered and blind."
"Mr. Clavering! When did you
come? Oil, lam so glad, so happy!"
she cxclamed.
"Are you glad? Are you happy?
Oh. is this my welcome? Have you
waited for me, my love my darling?"
She put her hands over Her eyes,
mourning: " Y on do not mean your
words .' 1 am dreaming .' I am mad !"
"You are here, wide awake, Camil
la, and I am asking you to love ine,
and to be my Wife. '
She drew him away for a brief mo
ment, and laid her weary bead within
his arm. Then she passed on to her
dressldg-room, and when she return
ed she put out her baud, saying. "Oh,
Itichard, take me away ! 1 am soul
sick of all this."
"And yon avIII only sing"
"in yriir nest. Conn , ive must not

The box was near at band, and in a
nuimeut they stood at tlie door. It
Avas ajar, and Richard pushed it open
to alloAV Camilla to cuter, and saw the
old man sitting in one of the luxurious
chairs, his head iylilg back iiiou the
soft cushions, anil las bauds peacefully
folded.

you naughty boy, you are fast asleep.
Come it is time to go home. Ah."
She started back nv itii a cry, for the
baud silc touched was lev cold, and
fell back still' and helples.
"Camilla, darling, come away, I

"Ob, Klchard!"
"blush, love. He Is beyond us now.
Those strains of music have carried
him to Heaven, from Avhenee they

The poor old man was dead. With
the cousuuiation of his heart's wish,
bis quiet, comprehending, tmoftcuding
lite had passed out into the new ex
istence. There were loud growls iu the music-loving
world, bijt nothing ever

An ell'cctual remedy for small pox
is said to have beeu recently fount by
a surgeon of Ihe British army in bina.

When Ihe preceding fever is at its
height, and Just before the eruption ap
pears, tlie chest is rubbed Avith croton
oil and tartaric ointment. This causes
the whole of the eruption to appear on
that part of the body, to the relief of

treatment in the English army in

cure.
