commonplace deYsOSe0ent Of this romance in
real life which gave the gossips of Paris some
thing to do during the week. We thought that
we had done with the Princess Anna Murat and
her husband, but they have within the last few
days again appeared before the public, !. e., in
print.
The Paris journals inform us that the fair
Princess was, a few nights ago, awoke from her
slumbers by noise which seemed to be occa-
stoned by somebody walking in the room. She
awoke the Duke, and communicated her fears to
him that they were not alone in the room, upon
which he called out, who goes therep He
had no sooner said these words than he felt a
hand placed on his throat, and voice at the
same time exclaimed, 1T you call for help you
are dead man |" The afirtghted Duchess sprang
from her bed and pulled the bell, which few min
utes after was answered by several man servants,
bringing lights with them; but to the surprise OF
all, on searching the room nobody was TO be
found. The affair is now in the hands of the
police.

ment, an octaeonal granite base, consisting OF
eight massive blocks, each twelve feet long, has

base OF the mountain and the granite curbiug
will receive flooring of crystal marble, estl-
mated to cost some 5000, ana which Is now being

glance we get at duty, before there has

uncertain at first. 1t is only after we
have involved ourselves in the mazes
and sophistries of wishing that things
were otherwise than they are, that it
seems indistinet. Considering it a

MY LEGACY.
CHAPTER II.
(C0ncLuded.)

Time passed on; had got accustomed
to the idea of my wealth, and the nine days
wonder caused by Jacob Braidwood's will,
my legacy and the unknown nephew, was
in measure exhausted. or course had
to hear a good many satirical remarks on
my legacy and its conditions; but had
expected that, and was prepared for it ;
though, after all, it was not very pleasant
to be accosted thus, by some of the ''roughs"
of our town. "Eh, miss, it's grand not to
be BONNIE" or to hear some of the ganinS
exclaim, as 1 passed, "That's the Teddy
that's got the siller because she was NO
bonnie" Butthese things died down, ana
were in time forgotten, " .
We had the pony carriage, had planned,
and it was my greatest pleasure to drive
my mother every day, and watch the de-
cided improvement in her health. We
we're all happier than we had been for a
long time, as the .crushing cares of poverty
were removed from us. MY father moved
with alighter step : his issmbarrassments in
business, and the consequent hardships
entailed on his family had weighed heavily
on him. These embarrassnnents were
caused by the dishonorable conduct of a
man for whom he had become, surety; and
though they were still to be surmounted,
yet his heaviest care was relieved. Lefty
whs happy at school, and was a most prom
islng scholar. And now that had leisure
to cultivate my accomplishments, which
were but scanty, IL was discovered that my
musical taste was good, and that my voice
was unusually fine Is .''t
II had always been fond of music, but
hitherto my talents had only been employ
ed in singing old ballads to- my father OF
nnrsery rhymes for children. But now,
Herr Thinning, my music master, com.
plimented me highly, and went into rap
lures on all opportunities about Miss War
ner's voice. "You have one magnificent
voice, niees, % said he, .GYo,tN Gould make
YOUR fortune on the stage.p but l told
him my fortune was made already. .u
1t was wonderful to see with how much
more consideration was treated, now thai
+ was Miss Warner, the owner of five
thousand pounds, not ugly Nelly Warner
who was nobodyiand had nothing. Our
clergyman discovered that my voice was
the very thing to lead the rehoir-a discov,
ely never made before. Marry a time in
my heart thanked Jacob Brkidwood fol
his legacy; and Thought tooy that il was al
well there had. been that check to my van,
ity along with it, as otherwise my head
would have been turned. .Tl.
1t this way nearly a year passed ont
very happy year it had been, hy mothers
health was greatly improved. my fathers
spirits enlightened, and Lefty and wer,
busy and happy. The unknown nephew
the heir to the large fortune, and who
Has known to be Mr.. Hugh Cuthbert
was expected home by every steamer. 7'
