A CIIANGE OF FORTUNE.
On the 3d of Jrmuary in the present: year.
during the cold which reigned so severely
in Pil.l'IS, at the moment when the snow was
filling in heavy flakes, a stoppage of passen-
gers, horses, and vehicles took place sudden-
lyatthe corner ofthc Rue St. Honoré and
the Rue de l’Arbi‘e~Scc.
“ What’s the u'iatter’.l” asked a young man,
whose accent declu red him to be an inhabi-
tant of the. South of France.
“ I really can’t inform you, Monsieur, I
was goingto ask the question ruyse.lf.”
" lt’souly zi_man who has fallen on the ice,"
said an orange woman who had overheard
the colloquy, “ Nothing more. Two sous ii
pieci-——-coine buy!”
“ It’s it man dead drunk,” said a porter, pusl__:-..
iug his way out oftho crowd.
“ Bah !” cried an old woman, “ [bet that
it’s one of those cursed oiniiibuses which has
overturned some ptior wretch. I had my leg
broken by one two years ago”
“ \I0 such -thing,” cried a stout man,warm-
ly wrapped up in a thick wrap-rascal, a large
handkercliief up to his nose, and his hands in
his side pock_e_ts. “It’s no such thing, l_t’s a
in in struck with cold and hunger. He is
dying——that’s evident. Poor Jlltln ! These
things quite affect me! I should have stop-
pe.l to lead him some assistance, but the fict
is, am too late as it is, for my wife is wait.-
iing dinner for me. ,P-ardoti, Monsieur, per-
uiit me to pass.”
The stronger, however, -to whom _this re
quest was addressed, pushed the stout man in
th.- contrary direction, and pressed through
the crowd of gazers until he arrived, not
\\"II.llO__LlI difficulty, at the spot where the cause
of this assernblage was lying. There, near
the fountain, was extended on the ice, an old
titan scarcely covered with a few rags. The
sti‘anger, yielding only to the dictates of a
kind heart, stooped down and was in the act
of raising the unhappy man, when a cry
broke the silence of -the crowd, and a sweet
voice exclaimed, with deep emotion, “It is
my old man!” At the same moment a young
girl ,piei‘cing the crowd came forward tojoin
her feeble aid to that ofthe stranger."
“You know him, then?” he demanded,
withoutlook-__irig at the new comer, but trying
to prevent her fret}; havi_i;g,any share of .the
l)lJt‘.’.l€n.
“Yes and no, Monsieur,” she replied, in
taking out a smi-lling bottle. “_I knoiv him
by sight, but am ignorant of his _name."’
A third person came to add his assistance
to the efforts of the young people. “ It is old
Gerald!” said he: “ he must have gone out
this morning the first for these four days.—
This way, Monsieut',” said be, speaking to
the stranger, “tie lives here at number 30,
and I am the porter of the house. “ Come,
let me take your place, my little woman,”
continued he to the young girl: this gentle-
man and I can take him to his room at the
top of the house. It is sheer want that has
reduced him to this state. They say be was
once rich, and I believe it; for it is only the
rich who allow themselves to famisb from
hunger when they are poor—we have still
two stories to go tip——I would not be guilty
of such a foolish act; I would go to the May-
or and demand aid. Take care—the stairs
are so stecp——thei'e’s a step; itis so dark here
you can’t well see it. It is different with me,
I am used to the place—that’s the door.-
Pushl He never needed a key to lock up
his property, poor man. They say Gerard
is not his real iiame—;'l')iablel liow cold it is
‘up here under these tiles I”
They placed the old man on some straw in
one corner of the garnet, and the stranger
hastened tofeel his pulse. “He is dying of

was that of the young girl, who, had follow-
ed them unperceived. She hurried out ofthe
room, and returned spe.edily;,foi' she perceiv-
ed thzit the slightest delay might be fatal. A
woman followed her, bringinfg fire and wood,
with which she lit a fire and then retired —-
The young messenger was loaded with a bot-
tle of wine, :1 siuall loaf, and the wing of a
fowl, wrapped up in a piece ofa newspaper.
She placed the whole near the old man, and
then kneeling down, arranged the fire, and
stit‘_i'ed it tip to a blaze.
The old man, by degrees recovered his
senses; he was presented with food in small
quantities, and in a short time animation was
restored. Too weak to thank his benefac-
tors, he could only express his feelings by
' iooks of the most touching gratitude, particu-
larly when they rested on the young girl, still
occupied near the hearth. 'I‘o the stranger
she appeared nothing else than a chiirining
and mysterious vision. \Vho could this young
creature be, who so earnestly and effectively
devoted her time to :1 work of chai‘it_y, when
her own attire gave-every indication of priva-
tion and penury? Cold as the weather was,
the bonnet which encircled her delicate and
beautiful features was of black straw; thin
silk gloves, merided in several places, served
to cover her hands but certainly not to guar-
antee them froni the cold. An old cachmerc,
worn to the last extremity, was thrown over
a faded gown of dark silk, and her whole ap-
pearance betokened the absence ofany warin
garment. The young man would undoubt-
edly have been struck by the extreme beauty
of her features had there been no other charm
to attract him, but there was about her that.
indescribable something which pleases man
more than mere beauty: and that is, a union
of goodness and elegance, which is, indeed,
but seldom to be met with, but when seen is
irresistable. At last, her self-imposed task
was over; she approached the old man, and
stooping down towards him, nodded her head
kindly as she uttered the words, “ I will soon
return.”
She then took up a small case which she
had put down on her entrance, and saluting
the stranger, she left the room,and descended
the narrow stairs with :1 rapid step.
The young man gazed at her for a moment,
then turned towards the invalid. “I, on the
contrary, shall not reyurn, for I leave Paris
this evening; but you shall soon hear from
me.” He then pressed the old man’s hapd
kindly and departed. \Vlien be _emerg_ed

though hopeless of seeing his young assist-

had been engaged, he still could not avoid
looking round if by chance she was still in
sight. As chance would have it, she was
standing as if undecided, at the door _ofajew-
cler’s shop at some distance. At lastsheap-

the stranger approached the window of the
shop, and observed what was passing inside.
He saw the young girl take off her glove;
and whilst he was admiring the dazzling
whiteness and t.l.l‘ISIOCl‘al.lC form of the hand,
she drew, with some emotion, a ring from her
finger, and pi‘es'_.‘nt.e(l it to the person at the
counter. He took it, examined it carefully,
rubbed and tested the stone, and then me-
thodically took outa small pair of scales, and
having ascertained the weight, offered his
customer a price, which it was easy to see she
accepted, from the movement of assent with
which she bent her head. The jeweler
opened a drawer, and counted out some mo-
ncy, which he pushed over the counter; and
having written down in his book her name
and address, be cast the ring into another
drawer, amongst a heap of jewelry of all
forms and colors. The girl then departed,
and in a minute afterwards the young man
entered the shop.
4 In a.short time afterward. she turned intoa
plain looking house, in one of the streets off
the Rue St H07t-07Té; and opening the door
of a room on the rez-rle-c/Lcmssée, she entered
hastily, crying, “Here I am, dear inother.
You must hays been uneasy at my long ab-
sence '2”
Madame Revial, the person to whom these
-,words were addressed, appeared in i'i.rm, tho’
more from trouble titan years. She was
stretched on a sofa, and appeared in delicate

“ Dear Anna,” said she, "I have an unplea-
sant piece of news to acquaint you with; it
was this perhaps that made me rather fear
your return, than take note of your prolong-
ed absence.” ‘
Anna, having cast on a chair her shawl
and bonnet, immediately seated herself on a
low stool near the end of the sofa tvliicli sup-
ported her mother’s head. The latter passed
her hand affectionately over the dark hair of
her daughter, and then continued:
"You know that your father had promised
your hand in marriage to the son of M. Bar-
sac, of Bordeaux, his oldest friend The

for you, and to remain yourinost hitmbleand

The young girl pausetl a moment after
reading the note, and then raising her eyes to
her mother’s she remzirked, as she placed it
on a work-table--'_‘ Do you not think, moth-
er, that this letter is perfect; except the too

Madame Revial inournfully, “certainly aug-

the empty case which she brought in, “and

of liiin, for _.ea_(:hwas too much occu led with
the ceremony for which they had come to-

Jules Barsac was standing on the other side,
The notary placed his portfolio 0;) the table,
and took from it ‘a contract of marriage,

having specified the little property of the
