PARLIAMENTARY RESPONSE TO THE QUEEN's
PROCLAMATION OF WAR.-Parlament had moved
an address TO the Queen in answer to the deela-
ration of war, assuring her of the nations firm
determination to cooperate IN vigorous reSis-
lance to the projects of Russia, whose further
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT would be dangerous to the
peace Of Europe.
The Parliamentary debate on the address Of
the Queen occupied twenty nine columns Of the
papers.
War. was formally proclaimed at London, in
the Royal Exchange, on Friday, in the presence
of the civic authorities.
The London papers are full OF proclamatlons,
etc, regulating the details of the war.

Commons, the Attorney General gave his opin
ion that the sale of Russian ships to neutral
parties if bona .tide, would be protected in law.
The Attorney General further stated, that
Great Britain cannot, and does not, forego the
right OF search OF neutral vessels for articles
contraband of war.

respects; nor is there any need. No alterna-

But good night now, Lestelle, and God bless

"No, en- rerite!" replied her lover, aughingy
But good night now, Lestelle, and God bless
you.
He relinquished the hand he held, and as the
carriage whirled rapidly away, the smile faded
upon his lips, and he walked homo in moody
thoughtfulncus.
! 1t WAS ad'crero trial for the good spirit OF
Claude Aubertn, much as he loved Lestelle, to
consent TO owe every thing to her-to subject
himself to the mortfying surmises Of those who
/ judged of him by their own worldly and perver.
ted imaginations. And thore were times when he
almost determined to give her up forever nj
though the destruction of his own peace and
hers should be the consequence; ; while at others
he thought Of doing something TO prove hirn-
self worthy of her love- But name and for
tune are not easily obtained in these days, even
by the most talented; and in the interim thou.
sand things might happen. Lestelle might grow
old-or die !-or she might cease to love him
for the heart has its changes and its seasons,
none Of which, however, resembles its first fresh
ncrs and purity. The attachments of our girlish
days msy last through womanhood, and even to
old age itself; but every year wc live, more Of
the worlds wisdom will have mingled in our
dream of love, until it becomes less unsellish-
-deal-mnrc rational perhaps, but less
passionate and devoted. And who could be
sure that the faith of one 70 beautiful and ad-

Look through the world, and this you will find.
That once out of sight, you are soon out Of mind"
1t was all very we'll in tho days Of old, when,
on the departure of the true knight the constant
fair one would shut horsclf up in her lonely
tower, out of the reach oftemptation, and surroun
ded only by her maidens, employ the weary in

looms of la belle citioyenne, rs she was called
were nightly throngedwith the leading politica
characters of the times But Lestelle was NJ
longer girl, laughing; from the overflow of he
gladstone spirit. Her amiles were less frequent
and had often purpose to answer which those
who looked upon her;fair and bright face never
dreamed Of There was many proud aristo
crat who, although he knew it not, owed life arc
torture TO that beautiful and resistless pleader
The only cloud thas rested on the happincs:

reserve of Auberiin on all affairs connected with
her property nor cou!d her fondness and devo.

sciousness of his to!ul dependence upon t1is
wife WAS likely to engender in his proud and
sensitive spirit, and although she tried to obyi-
ate the difficulty by literally which paiqedsfgr
moro than il pleased lin, still there were mo-
ments when he bitterly felt The want of funds,
which could only be drawn through her ins,ru-
mentality and whicl, he would have died rather
than ask for.
Of late it had been been observed that Les
telle was much altered: she would sit for hours
in an attitude of doep thought, and was pecvish
and abstractcd when roused rs if the plans
which she was evidently arranging in her own
mind required the concentration of every thought
and energy. She would be absent, too, for
hours together, no one.knew where, accompanied
only by her attendant--she the gentle and timid,
who but few months before had feared TO ven.
turc from home without the protection of her
husband. But Aubertin, although he felt the
alteration asked no questions: he had too much
faith in her affection to have the rem otest idea
Of the fearful shock that awaited him.
One morning, contrary to her usual custom,
Lestclle took her breakfast in her own apartment,
sending message by her maid requesting the
presence of her husband at twelve exactly in
her boudoir; and Aubertn, not being able at
the moment to invent any decent excuse for re-
fusng to comply with her request, reluctantly
promised TO attend her. at the hour appointed,
determined that the meeting should be rs brief
ap possible, he imagined that it merely related
TO matters of pecuniary nature, subject of
which lie always entertained nervous horror.

"You are obeyed maidmoisellc," said he
with mocking smile, as he moved rapidly to
wards the door.
The white lips Of Lcstelle moved fast bu
they uttered no sound. She attempted to rusl
forward and arrest his progress, and her foo
seemed glued to the floor; NJ. Dumont under
stood her wishes, and hastened after the often
ded Aubertin.
"Well,' never could have believed it-st
attached as they seemed 10 each otherI' said
young citizen to his companion, DE Tours-tht
sarno arstocratic count who but n short time be-
fore, would scarcely have condesccnded te
breath tho same air as his p1ebeian friend, bu
whom proper regard for his own safety had
confirmed to the equalizing spirit of the age.

De Tours; the romance of the young heiress
has had time to cool, and she seizes the first op.
portunity that presents itself Of becoming free

"And poor Auberin what has become of him p
"Why, they say that he takes it very much to
heart; and no wonder, seeing that her fortune
ia scarcely reduced and herself if possible,
more beautiful than ever"
AT this moment they were interrupted by the
entrance of Claude Auberin himself, with Les
telle leaning on his arm, or rather clinging in her
sweet and graceful manner while her bright eyes
sparkled with happiness as she listened with n
flushed cheek to the whispering accents Of her
husband, on whose countenance smile of tri-
umphant exultation mingled with deep love.

sons who stood near him, and who happened to
be the little notary, NJ. Dumont; e" thought
that the Aubcrtins had availed themselves of
the new law, and were divorced ?"

morning" said the notary, with knowing
twinkle of the cold, grey eyes.

"Not Mt all: according to the first marriage
settlement which took place when Lcstele was

THE MISER AND BIS TREASURE

A miser having amassed an immense sum o
money by denying himself the common necessa
ries of life was much embarrassed where to lodge
it in security. After much consideration, he fix
ed upon corner In retired field, where he de-
posted hia treasure in hole which he had dug
for that purpose. His mind was now for mo-
ment at ease; but he had not proceeded many
PAGES on his way home, when his anxiety re.
turned, and he could not forbear going back to
see that every thing was safe. This he repeated
so often that he was observed by man who was
looking over a hedge in an adjacent meadow
He, concluding that something extraordinary
must be the occasion Of these frequent visits
marked The spot, and coming in the night, and
discovering the prize, carried itaway. Early the
next morning the miser renewed his visit, when
finding his treasure gone, he broke out in the
most bitter exclamation. traveller who was
passing, moved by his complaint inquired the
cause.
"Alasw replied the miser, have sustained
a most irreparable loss. Some villain has robbed
me of sum of money which !buried under
this stone"
Buried" returned the traveller with look
of surprise; 4" why did you not keep it in your
house, that it might be ready for your daily
wants %
"What!" replied the mser, with an air of as-
tonishment and indignation, I" do you imagine l
so little know the value of money! On the con-
trary, had Prudcnty resolved to lay it by, and
not to touch single shilling of it."
IF that was your resolution" answered the
traveller, "you have only to put this stone in
the place Of your treasure, and it will answer all
your purposes just as we'll"

THE IRISH PROBLEM. length, il seems, we
have reached the point-foreseen by so many
political economists long snce-the depletion
of Ireland. Our Irish emigration is falling off
rapidly, and bids fair to decline to mere nomi-
nal figure. Many former cmigrants are return
ing to their native land, and ireland itself is said
to be in the enjoyment of prosperity to which
it has been stranger for years. Within the
last ten years it cannot have lost less than to
four millions of inhabitants by emigration, fam
inc and disease, and in consequence those who
are left behind have plenty elbow room, and find
plenty Of work at fair prices.

he had met once before ut her guardian's-stood
bending over very busness-like sheet of parch-

"Pray be seated, monsieur" Haid the little no:

chair in silence

mont" very good-a very excellent law, mon-
sieur!"
aVery convenient one, should think, re.
piled Auberin, laughing in spite of himself al
the solenuity with which the old man spoke.

pause, I" / am man of few words man of bu

tunity to be divorced from you, and has purpone

you will offer no opposition"
"Accursed liar il is false !" exclaimed the en-
ranged husband-"I will not believe it !"
"Claudc said gentle voice by his side, as
hope for your forgiveness hereafter, ha
spoken nothing but the truth And now for boil
our sakes let this scene be n brief one. At

my proud spirit, and dared the sneers of th'
world ay, and deserved thcnl-for | trusted
consented to be dependant on a woman-and
now she scorns, despises, deserts me-"
"Dumont," said Lestelle, looking imploringly
towards him, al cannot bear this"
Aubcrtin had forgotten the presence of tn
little notary, but he looked proudly up, and re
covering his usual calnness said:
"Onc more question, and l will sign Lestel

deed willingly?"

"And your divorce will insure your happ1
ness 7"
"It will !" she replied more firmly.

in his hand, he looked once more upon the flush
ed countenance of her who was SO soon to b
lost 10 him forever, and added, in hoarse voc.
DO you remember the last deed was signed

aPerfectly," replied Lestelle; sand it is th'
recollection that gives me strength to act as
am doing"
Aubertin bent down his head, and hot tea
fell upon the parchment; but there were n
traces of it as he returned the document, with
low bow to the trembling girl. :.
