A Novel. Tamsuran FROM THE GERMAN BY MARY STUART SMITH.) “ I was in my father's study that morn- ing, although it was a place I seldom fre- quented. I Was led there that day through an act of childish disobedience. The day before my father had taken away from me one of his library books. as unsuited to my years, but my childish fancy had been too deeply smitten with a tale of adventures to forego so easily a knowledge of its conclu- sion. I knew that the book was in my father’s study, and so profited by the first opportunity of getting possession of it again. Hardly was it in my hands before I heard Vorces in the corridor. Conscious of my misdemeanor, I took refuge with my book, in a deep window recess, as I sup- posed, for a few minutes only, since my father was accustomed to take a ride at this hour. But now he entered, accom. panied by the treasurer Brand. The cur- tains, which had been lowered to shut out the sun, hid me perfectly from view, and thusI became a witness to an interview that I did not at the time understand in the least, but whose significance was indeli- bly impressed upon my memory by the frightful catastrophe which was soon to follow. What I heard in the beginning was of no importance, for the conversation moved in a strictly business channel. My father must, at an earlier date, have made some proposition to the treasurer, which he now repeated, but which was declined in the most decided manner. He knew that if anybody crossed that threshold his honor was irredeemably lost. I saw my father‘s hand clutch at the weapon, saw the flash of the explosionâ€"and Brand fell dowu dead.” After a. few seconds the Count consumed, drawing a. heavy breath: “I was petrified by horror. I could not utter a. sound. I saw my father open the door and call for help; saw my mother rush in â€"Whab happened afterwards, you know. They succeeded in fixing the crime upon the dead menâ€"â€"-” “ Oh, yes; they succeeded l" interrupted she, cuttmgly. " The sole voice uplifted in behalfof truth, the complaint of the widow, was put down as the shameful slandering of a. highly esteemed man. Count Aruau took his oath to the correctness of his depo- eition.” He silently bowed his head. > , “ Upon handing over the sum in ques- tion, my father obtained a written receipt from his superior in office, your father.

Nobody spoke durmg the following seconds, but the Count leaned more and more heavily upon the table, and his countenance was deadly pale; with averted face he finally handed the paper back without speaking a Word, and drew his handover his eyes. " Gertrude!" She abuddered slighfly, but dld not re- treat from the posltion that she had taken. an expression of tenderness. such as his grandmother had never before seen upon Lady von Sternfeld stood speechless ; she had not understood than last scene between the two, especially Herman’s inexplicable conduct. and not until she saw him draw the maiden rapturously to his heart; did the truth flash upon her.

The maiden’s arm fell limp; with a. heart-reading expression she looked up at him, as though suing for pity, and her eye met his.

Six months had elapsed; the reign of winter had already been inaugurated with due severity, and the approaching Christ- mas holidays heralded by a seasonable fall of snow. From the church tower ofihe Village of Mâ€"â€", rang forth the noondity bell, everywhere a welcome sound, and nowhere more joyfully greeted than in the Parsonage, where a large family of childri n came trooping into the house with ehwrp ened appetites, from a hot battle, at which they had been playing in the garden. Five fresh-looking faces, the roses in their cheeks brightened by the cold, were rande around the dinner-table, diecussing the smoking dishes With equal ardor and en. jOyment. The pastor, quite an elderly man, with a mild, friendly countenance, seemed tovday unusually earnest and thoughtful. He divided his attention between the children and their governess, who sat opposite to him, the two smallest on each side of her. There was something lovely in the gentle but firm manner in which that lady quieted and kept in order the merry little group, who seemed to cling to her. however, With fond devotion. Miss Walter found it hard to divide her attention among the many eager little claimants for interest in the stories and communications which they vied with one another in making. Au last the noonday meal was over, and the Wlld little troop clumored for permis- E1011 to go out of doors again, this time to spend the lust hour of their holiday in a. more peaceful occupationâ€"viz, the con- structionvof a. snow mam. Gertrude had taken up a. beekeb of stockmge and was jth about to leave the room, when the minister detained her, with the request; to follow him into his study for a. few minutes, as he had an im- porxaut communication to make to here Williugly bhe set; her basket down, and acceded to his request. It was not hard to guess what the tenor of this important; communication would be, for Christmas would soon be here, and five limle tables were to be heaped with presents. Meanwhile, the introaucbion to this very harmless subjecn seemed to coat the minia- ter some embarraanment, for he coughed several times, and finally begun with via- ible diflidenoe: “ In the first place, Miss Walters. accept; mV moan heartfelt thanks for all that; you have been, up to this time, to me and my children.” Gertrude looked up in surprise, this introduction sounded strangely formal. “I have only done my duby," said she, quietly waiving:l ofif his expressions of grati- nude. " Obl no, you have done more, far more than that.” The man’a embarrassment in opening conversation now melted before the genuine Wurmvh of his feelings. “ You only undertook the duty of imparting instruction to the children, and you have been the sweetest friend to them, the very main stay of my orphaned household. Since you have been here I have felt; as if I had once more a. home, a. domestic circle around me.“ The pastor could hardly have been pre- pared for so favorable a, reception of his proposal. A short tune for reflection 18 generally only the preliminary to an un. conditional surrender » a. form suggested by maidenly coyneee. With Cheerful cordl- filmy he shook both of her hands, as he thus re lied: ' "As you like, my dear young Indy, 215 longatime as you choose. I would not have you hurried at: all in making up your mind. Go und think over: the matter Gernrude was still perfectly free from embarrassment and unsuspicious of what wuapqmmg. “I feel honored by your offer, air, but you do me injustice, if you suppose that my nature is averse to plam, homely duties For the first time, in your house I halve had the experience of being received and sur- rounded with love; Iâ€"-â€"â€"” she moved her hand away, bus then, instead of laying it; in the gastor’s, suddenly pressed it; to her heart. " Does anything ail you," asked he, with solicltude. _ She forced herself to smile. “ Oh no! it is nothing. May I ask you to allow me a. short time for reflection. In a. few hours you shall have my answer.” I “ Yes, it was about this that I wanted to Hpeak with you,” interposed the miniutet, impetuously. “ In spite of 8.11 this, I can- not coucezu it from myself that my child- ren need a. mother, my house a. mistress, and that Iâ€"â€"â€"” he suddenly paused, for Gertrude had retreated from 111m with a sudden gesture of horror. “Do you wish me to say no more ‘2" Gertrude had listened motionlena with downcast eyes, the pullur of her face had become yet more striking, but; her voice sounded perfectly composed. 7”“1 have” only done what I could. A stranger can never supply a. loss mother‘s placate l}er chilQren‘.” u-u.r 11., She had turned pole, but gently shook her head. “ Speak onY please.” He etood up and grasped her hand. “During the five months that you have been with us, these words have been fre- quently upon the tip of my tongue, and just as often been repressed. There has been and still is something in your manner, thatâ€"let me be candid with youâ€"theta chilled and kept me at a. distance. When I saw you keeping house so cheerfully and pleasantly, with everything prospering under your hands, I could never rid my- self of the thought that you were really fitted for a. wholly difierent sphere of life. But,for once, let it be spoken out. You are young, beautiful, and richly endowed in all respects, while I am an elderly man, in moderate circumstances, charged with reeponeibility for five uneducated children. If the love of these children, and the gratitude of a. man who esteems and ad‘ miree you from the very bottom of his heart. can compensate you for the many sacrifices that your consent will entail upon you.then~â€"you would make me very happy.” thorough'y, and than tell me your decision candldly.’ An hour had gone by, and still Gertrude set in her own room, in the upper story, observed in reverie. As awhile ago, she pressed her bend involuntarily against her breast. There was a. rebellious something there thst would not be kept under such rigid restraint! Just now it had pierced her with a. keen and smarting pang, as she had been about to yield her consent. Had it not dragged her back with foreboding voice, as though from the brink of an abyss, and stifled the “ yes " that she was about to pronounce, with a, loud “no, no?” If not forgotten, she was nevertheless entirely given up, and need not have troubled her- self to conceal her place of abode so care- fully, in View of probable inquiries. Her- man had made no effort to discover her, nor had he even troubled himself to send her a. last word of farewell. He had recog- nized the sincerity of her resolve. the truth of her conclusions, submitted with firmness and strength to the inevitable, but still it grieved the poor girl to the heert to find that he could be so strong and firm. To be sure, he had left him that brilliant future, for whose sake he had given her up; and what was there left for her? She had de- termined to accept the pastor. The full of snow had begun again; Ger- trude opened the window and looked out, without heading the wintry keenness of the coldâ€"this was the [eat free hour of her life ; in the next she would be irrevoc- ably bound. Far across from the distant high-road, sounded a coachman‘e horn, through the falling snow. Thickly and without sound fell the flakes from outa gray and diurnal sky, thlcklv and silently they lay upon the stark, 25tsz earth. The fields and meadows round about, the boughs of the trees and main of the houses, all bore this cold shapeless mantle of ennw, and the village was as still and quiet as though laid out in a. white shroud. But suddenly this quiet was disturbed by an unusual occurrence; the poet-horn did not, as was crxmmonly the case, die away in the dietence, but rang out loudly and merrily as it drew nearer and nearer, and now there were joined to it the creek- ing and groaning ot wheels. Drawn by four smoking horses, 9. postchaise was working its way toilmmelv through the enow, that was now a foot deep, until It drew up before the door of the Parsonage. The coach door was thrown open, a. gentle- man in furs jumped out. and With a. scream of horror and rupture, Gertrude flew back from the window. “ Hermann l” “ Mrsamwhile, down stairs, the unwonted event of the arrival} of a. guest in a. coach and four, had put the whole house in com- motion. The whole troop of children rushed out into the hall. the study door wan hurriedly openedwtwlkmg and answer- ing grew loud, until finally, the firm voice of a stranger rose commandineg above the din. “ Do not trouble yourself, reverend sir.

In our provincial capital, where no tale of scandal is ever allowed to fall into utter oblivion, but some news- monger is ever ready to revive it in time to ruin the family it concerns; in our princi- pality, where every important office is de- pendent upon court favor; in the midst of a nobility whose prejudices are not in the least modified by the advent of modern ideas â€"my career would. indeed, have been obstructed, if I had called Gertrude Brand my wife. A union between us under these conditions was an impossibility.” " Well, thenâ€"?" “ Then these circumstances must be altered. I am free.” ‘- Herman ! What have you done ‘2” Hie face again lighted up with that ex- pression which hitherto none but she had eVer seen there, and beneath which his stern, hard features were softened into mildnees and sweetness. In spite of the dread her words implied, there was an un- mistakable tenderness in the tone that revealed more of her truer feelings toward him than it had ever yet been his privilege to know. “ Now all is sanded,” continued be, after a. momentary pause. “ Next; month I enter upon my new office at -â€", but will not go there Without taking my Wife with me.

I had voluntarily to descend afew steps lower in the scale, in order to mount up again, somewhat more toilsome, per- haps, than before. But mount up again I shall, you may depend upon that." He said this simply and quietly, but, nevertheless, Gernmde deeply felt; the extent; of the sunrifioe which the ambitious man had thus made for her sake; her breast; hepwed in joyful pride, for she knew now What» she was to him. ALcieep flush suffused Gertrude’s count enanoe as she heard these last words, pro- [ nouucing as bars for the future that name ; winch qhe had once, so cprdially hatpd: “ I have only one request to make of you, Herman; it is my first.

A “human Bruin! Her Drunken llus band. A Paris letter says: An extraordinary trial for murder commenced to-day before the assizes of the Cotes du Nord at Saint Brieuc. On Feb. 12th last a sack contain- ing the head and shoulders of a man was found in a mill stream at Plerin. The remains were horribly mutilated, and the arms had been out 01f near the shoulder joints. Several witnesses recognized the head as that of Pierre Henry,a peasant belonging to Plerin. On the judge d’iustruc- tion appearing at Henry’s the Wife of the deceased fainted away, and it was not until ‘ the next morning that she sufficiently recovered her senses to make a full confes- sion of her crime to the judicial authori- ties. Mme. Henry,avery powerful woman , of 30, explained that for some time past she and her husband had lived on bad terms, owing to the drunken habits of the latter. Although a good worker, all his money went to purchase drink; and his wife,whoa few months ago inherited a little property, determined that the “ wind- fall ” should not be disposed of in a similar manner. On February 9th Henry returned from his work in a state of intoxication, and, after some words between the two, the woman seized a stout stick and liter- ally beat her husband to death by striking him on the head. Having accomplished this deed, the woman dragged the body into the cellar, covered it with straw, and went to bed. According to her own con- fession, she slept quietly all night, and at break of day called on a neighbor to borrow a hatchet, with which she cut up the body into sections. After separating the arms and logs from the trunk. she divided the body in halves, and severed the head from the neck. Of these ortions she made three bundles, and sewe them up in corn-sacks? Sending her little child to bed, the assassin started out at nightfall with the largest sack and threw it into the Covet, a stream about two miles from the cottage. She accomplished a second journey, but, being overcome With fatigue, was obliged to leave the third sack, containing the legs, until the next night, when she was seen carrying it by two peasants, who supposed her to be a smuggler. The first sack thrown into the streamr caught fast in the water-wheel of a mill, and thus led to the discovery of the crime. On being confronted with the re- mains of her husband the prisoner calmly observed : “ He used to drink, and I killed him.

As soon as it had been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, bust and most vailuable family medicine on earth. many imitations sprang up and begin to steal the notices in which the press and the people of the country had expressed the merits of H.

Many others started nostrums put up in Rinnlth! style to H.B.,with variously devised names in which the word “Hop” or "Hops" were used in a. way to induce people to believe they were the same am Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their style or name is, and espeoielly those with the word “ Hop " or “ Hops ” in their name, or in any way eon- iieoted with them or their name, are imi- tations or oounterfeits.
