families in France, became engaged, af
ter long and assduous courtship, to a
lady, his equal i'll position and fortune,
and famous for her beauty. Shortly
after the day was appointed which was
to render two loving hearts ono, the
Count was ordered Immediately to the
siege of basiopol; so he grded on
his sabre, and at the head Of his rcgi.
ment marched to the battle field. Du.
ring the Counts absence it happened
that his beautiful .fance had the small.
pox after lowering between life and
death Tor many days, she recovered her
health, but found her beauty hopelessly
lost.
The disease had assumed in her case
the most virulent character, and left her
not only disfgnrcd but scanned and SCARF.
ed to sach frigh;iul extent, that she
became hideous to herself, and resolved
to pass the remainder Of her days in the
strictest seclusion. a year passed away,
when. one day, the Count, Immediately
upon his return from France. accompa.
MED by his valet, presented himself at
the residence Of his bchrothed and soil.
cited an interview. This was refused.
He, however, with the persistence of a
lover pressed his snt and fnally the
lady made her appearance closely lnuffled
in a doubled veil. At the sound OF her
voice the Count rushed forward to EN-.
brace her, hnt. stepping aside she trem
blingly told him the story Of her sor.
rows and burst into tears.
A heavenly smile broke over the
