Masaniello drew back with alright, for
Isabella was no longer the gay, smiling being

pale and haggard, while her eyes were red
with weeping.
1.-THE Duke of ARGOS is In safety, noble

Of affected GOODNESS. "He has taken refuge

"Masaniello, no 'more!" exclaimed the
young girl. "I love you"-
''Silencer replied Masaniello; "the people

inexorable; you will lose us both"

"Oh, you cannot love mel' said Isabella,
with look that made Masaniello's heart sink
within him.

Oh, could listen to my Lowell Pityl pity!o
Then there is no more HOPPER
"Alas!"
''Be it sol" replied the proud Spanish girl,
drawing herself up to her full height. ''The
daughter of the Duke Of ARGOS is sufficiently
Inundated, without begging any longer.

young girl, whose heart was ready to burst
OF tho thought of this eternal separation.
And she threw herself into the arms Of Masa-

forbearance Of the victorious. Pietro shall

marks of gratitude.
