‘Harry, since you have been here, vo resent fortune. I know it. I could see it in every look. Icnjoyed mysitfying you; but I never intended letting you depart without telling you how I made my mom-y. You remember a Werterish sort ofa letter I wrote you .a year or two ago. About that time,I was in considerable trouble. Our regiment had been stationed for ours months in a small town on the llohemian rontier ; and, as I had nothing else to do, I matr- agrd to fall in love, veritably over head and ears in love, with the daughter of a neiithbouring nobleman. At first, all went on prosperously enough, and I had slreadv constructed some very magnificent chateau en Espagrie for our future abode. My love was amply returned; and the confiding innocence of a young country girl, freslt and pure as one of her own moutrtain-flowers contrasted so favourably with the artificial graces of the great ladies I had recently left in Vienna, that I felt a tremulous rapture, difficult to describe in possessing the affections of so pure a heart. Matters went on in this happy way for some time; but “always to woo, and never to wed," although good in a song, becomes a bore in reality; so I screwed up sufficient courago one afternoon, as we were sitting alone chatting “across the walnuts and the wine.” to ask the cotrnt’s con- sent to our marriage. He seemed perl'ectl_v aston- ished, arid asked me what fortune Ihod to support a wife upon. Here was a knock down blow to all my hopes. Fortune——my fortune I Surely it must be a "eke for any one to ask Lieutenant Fritz von IIJ what his fortune was. But I resolved to use no deception; so I gave the old gentleman a minute and graphic account of my worldly possessions. As I concluded, he rose, saying very quietly :

“I wish to avoid all recriminations. If you have been wrong in playing the role of an advert- turer —psrdon the expressiou— I was equally to blame in encouraging your visits; Ilrerefore I cast no rcproacli upon your conduct : it is what men of the world and romance-writers would ap- p!aud. Notv, let there be no further doubt on rhrs subject. Your are a suitor for my ilnugliler's hzrnd ; hor aII't-otiorrs, you say, are already yours, and I believe your general clirtractcr to be fair and honourable. I therefore will not raise any unnecessary obstacles in the tray of your union” (I was ready to embrace the old fellow for joy), “but there are conditions” (my ace fell imme- diately) “tvhiclr must be fulfilled before my con- sent can be obtained. I consider that it would

not be prudent for two young people in your ,

station of life to marry mtich under a yearly in- come of 6000 florins. Mt tlaughter’s marriage- portion will not exceed the moiety of this sum. Tlierefore, rrry young friend, you will see that until you can make up the difference. I should not be doing my dirty were I to yield toyour wi.-hesg” arid s0s1l_\'llI;1, he rang the bell. and bowed me out of the room with perfect courtesy.

‘I left the house incclirrnit-ally without saying a word. I was quite sttrpifred, and continued so for the next few days. have the recollection of writing it letter to the dear girl I was losing, but what about, it would puzzle me much to tell. At length the colonel, st ring how III I looked. gave me a month’: lcavo ofabsence. and advised me strongly to travel. Caring but little where I went, I found myself. after it week's ramble, deposited orro afternoon just outside the pretty virlage of Homburg, wlrerel en-_raged a quiet lodging for at few days. The neighbouring scen- ery pleased me ; and that was lucky, for I care nothing just then, as you may believe, for drink- ing, or gaming, or aociality of any kind. That evening I read part of Zommi, took a stroll in the Frankfort mud, and returned to bed at as early hour. when awoke next morning, the first object that met my eye was a large heap of gold carefully piled up on the dressing-table. Strange that] had not noticed It before. Irnust have mistaken my bedroorti,'or made some confounded blunder ; so I irnrnediately ‘rang lhd bell, and de- rnarnlcd :rir explanrtion of the mystery. ‘Ilia landlady could not aolveit;l waa',in ‘my own room; no rnoaey was left there la'at night; the servants listl neither aseti nor heard sriy one moving about the house, consequently I must have placed the gold on the table myself.

‘Unable to get any ex Ianation, I cayefully count- the moire , which a carried to e lsrneistint of 10,000 urine. and locked‘ it it in my pori- inantesu, t'nlly expecting to have a e airnaiit for it in the course of the day. But. to my grédl aur rise. no such person appeared, and I went to be that night with these riches still in m possession. pre- viously taking the precaution to ok my door a plaeet 0 key under my pillow. The following morning, a aimiliar heap of gold and bank-rrotea stood on my table. I sprang out of bed, unlocked my pmtrnaoteaa,sstl found the money I had depos- ited there untouohed. I next examined the room: there was no‘ entrance but through the door, and his was fastened, and the key sllely stowed svvay under the pillow. I now called thelandlady, and sorrtevvhat stsmly rebuked tier for permitting these practical jokes in her hcriie ; but the r woman's face too lslnly Ihcvretl that she at I:Itost' was innocent of sllppsrticlplfion in them ; so that I again counted the money. and placed it with the

I thought people seemed ‘telonk at [ng in a peculiar ro=-uncr as I passed alollg, but this was prooably more fancy on ury part. 'I‘owai-dg evening, I received a letter from my darling girl, saying that she had at length succeeded in induc- ing her father to accept me as his future aon-in- law, and that they were now on their wa to Homberg. ’I‘he count added a few lines, wherein he stated that this decision was caused partly by his daughter's entreatics and failing health, and also by.the excellent character my colonel Iiad given him of me. You can easily imagine my joy at this unexpected announcerr.erit ; irt fact, it was almost greater than I could with t-ttfety bear in my then excited state of mind. Brimful ol hap- piness, I ate a light supper that evening, smoked two or three pipes, and was sound asleep long before irriduiglit: but although I went to bed at an early hour, I felt unusually lethargic in the morning, and when I awoke, it was ten o’clock, and the count was waiting for me in the adjoining rooirr. [sprang out of bed to embrace him.

“l‘l0ld. Sir I " IIHI lie. drawing himself np proudly, “I promised my daughter's hand to 3 poor but honorable man; it shall never be given to a wealthy blsckleg"--—and Ire pointed scornfirlly to the table, where, as usual, lay a mass of bank- notes and gold.

‘I felt the blood mount to my head as he utter- ed these words, but I made a grand effort to be co m.

"My dear sir,” I replied, "I know you do not wish to add instrlt to my other misfortunes, and therefore I attribute those harsh expression; en. tircly to niisapprehension. I never was a gamb-

ate no wish to deny or even exlenualo my many transgressions, btrtl solemnly assure you that I never was :r gambler. Let me know the name ol'_tour itiforiiiaiit, and he shall either eat his own words or bite the dust before another day is over."

‘The count slioolt his head, and pointed to the heap of gold.

"lly everything ilrat is holy in this tvorld, I swear that I airi ignorant of how that money came into this room !"

' he count shook his head and smiled iron- ically.

"In the narue of God, here on my bended knees I repeat that oath ; and as a soldier and a man of honour. I pledge my life that what I have sworn is true "

‘The count still shook his head, and his lips wore the same incredulous smile-

‘-If, sir. you neither believe my oath as a Chris- tian, nor my word as a gentleman,” said I. rising tndtnnaritly. “I have nothing further to add, save merely this—thst had any other man but the Count von S insulted me in this manner, his conduct should not have passed tvitli impunity For your daughter's sake, for the deep love I ever hear towards her, I am content to suffer this indignity unavenged; ” and I rang the hell for the servant to open the door.

"You renounce all pretensions to my daughter's hand! " said the count perfectly unmoved.

“Never! ” cried I psssionat¢ly—-“never at the bidding of II fickle and remorscless tyrant !— never until she herself reuouoces me.”

“She has done so !“ calmly replied my visitor, opening his pocket-book and delivering to me a letter. -
