Beresford laughed, and was gone.

Mr. Merivale was a tall, handsome man,

‘that Miss Merivale was his equal in every
respect,’ so Decinus held his tongue on
the subject.

Beresford had gone to the artist's, and,
atter a long talk to him, every matter was

confidentially explained, and it only waited
Emily's consent for her to be his aflianced
bride.

‘I will call her, and you shall ask her
yourself,’ said Mr, Merivale (or Montrose,
as he said his real name was). ‘Though,

THE ARTISTS DAUGHTER.

‘Decimus, who is that beautiful girl
coming out of that picture shop ?? inquired
flarry Beresford, of his friend, as they
strolled down one of the fashionable Paris
streets, after a morning lounge in the
Tuileries,

‘Weil. really, Beresford, you can't
mean that unpretending-looking young
lady?’ exelafmed Decimus, not catching
a fall view of the fair, though somewhat
pale, face, the large, deep-blue eyes, and
waves of auburn lair,

‘Let us ask af the shop she has just left.
Let me see, Twant ® little painting for
Mademoiselle De Vere’s boudoir. So
come, Decimus !

Alter having purefased a little seene on
the Rhine, Beresford asked ;

in almost every action, as wel
It was a known fact that Mv,
had seen better days, a truth of which
Beresford was soon aware, and he became
deeply interested in the artist and his
daughter; and as the Jatter accompanied
her father to explain her own pictures, he
was not disappointed of seeing her,

She looked very lovely—quite as much
so as the beautiful Madonna that glowed
in soft coloring on the canyas before them.
And when Ilarry Beresford stepped for-
wird for a closer inspection of the picure,
or, in reality, to ask some question of the
pretty painter concerning it, as she held
back the green covering, she let it sudden-
ly fall, ex ming :

‘Oh, be caretul!—the slightest dust will
injure it, and itis scarcely dry!’ And the
color rose to her transparent temples, in
the excitement of the moment.

Harry thought he hitd never seen any-
thing so lovely. Instead of saying 1 word
of contrition, he gazed at her so long that
she turned away and smiled at his ex-
pression, interpreting it as one of sur-
prised indignation that she, an artist,
should speak soto him, But Harry was
really growing very much in love with
Emily Merivale, and he asked all sorts of
questions when she explained her paint-
ings: he could not understand why this
was there, and that was not, and he really
quite forgot what she had told him about
that picture in the corner—would she mind

of course, she will never be so foolish as

No answer came, and Harry, confident
from what her father had said what her
answer would be, drew her towards him,
taking silence for consent.

She held back, and lifting up her eyes
to his face, said:

‘It can never be, Mr. Beresford?

Harry thought at first it was coquetry,
but when she remained firm in her deei-
sion, he was surprised and disappoint d.

‘But your father,’ he begun, having for-
gotten eloquence in earnestness, ‘approves

‘No, no!’ she answered quick, ‘ but

‘But what?’ he asked, eagerly.

She gaye him no reply, save in the rosy
blush that suffused her cheeks; and the

up hishat, he rushed unceremoniously from
the house, and bursting into the room
where Decimus was still sittiag, excluim-
ad passionately: ‘

“yCuen are false fickle, what you Tike

Charles gites <2 In a minate what hid

* Ha you are refused, I see, Well,
never mind, old boy, yo"! Will soon get
over it.’ And he sighen asi? thought how
he still treasured his old love, 22d yet he
was telling auother he would soon forget
it,

* You are too good foran indigent artist
—a common girl—who——

‘No, no, Decimus, she is a lady, a per-
fect lady; their real name is Montrose
and she is so beautiful ! }
Deciinus colored, then turned deadly
palet and endeavoring to hide his emotion
usked ; :
* Beautifal ? Describe her.’

Beresford was too much absorbed in his
ovn thoughts to notice the change of
color in his friend's face.

‘Auburn hair, and such eyes—ah me!
made to fool men, I believe, so full of
feeling, and yet she has none. Still she
: she loves another, a loye of years, It
appears highly romantic !’

And Hurry grew sareastic in the bitter-
ness of his disappointment,

Without another word, Decimus rose
and left the room with a heart full—fall of
hope, and beating fast. Ie strode rapidly
to the artist's house; and having gained
wdinittance, he scarcely knew what to say ;
but his embarrassment was soon put to
flight by the entrance of Emily Meriyale,
or, more properly, Ella Montrose—his
Ella. The recognition was equal on both
sides, and when, halfian hour after, Mr,
Montrose entered, what was his surprise
at secing Ela and Charley side by side on
the sofa! The former rose as her father
‘red, and Decimus explained tie whole
ir, laying considerable stress on his in-
crease of income, and finally asked for
Hila’s hand in marriage,

Mr. Montrose readily granted consent on
condition that peace was made satisfactor-
ily with Mr, Beresford; and as the latter
was more infatuated than in love, and
heartily glad that his friend Decimus was
made so happy, that was casily accom-
plished, and the marriage ceremony took
place in London not long after—Decimus
as bridegroom—Harry as best man,

Mr. Montrose threw up his house in
Hae and lived with his daughter and son-
uw.

ore many months had elapsed, Harry
Beresford had married a young lady whom
he trnly loved, and the first to congratu-
iate him was old friend Charlie Decimus.

The grand jury of the City of London, in

inaking a@ prescutment to the Recorder
with regard to the recent violent assaults
and robberies in the streets, point out that
this form of offence appears to be on the
increase, and indicates a growing disposi-
tion on the part of the criminal portion of
the population to become yeur by year
more savage and outrageous in their ac:
tions. The grand jury suggest a liberal
application of the lish as the fittest punish-
ment, ands est their opinion that there
is nothing from which the ruffian shrinks
so much as from physical suffering. of
which, though insensible to it when iutlict-
ed on others, he is keenly sensible on his
own person. ‘There can be no doubt that
the grand jury have taken a perfectly cor-
rect view of the disposition of the garrotter,

wretch who has passed most of his exist-
ence within its walls. But if we are to
