. Philip opened the paper, and read in it an
order for five thOusand dollars. He put it
in his pocket, and, thought, .“ Well, it's a
pity that I’m not a prince.” Some one
whispered in his car,—' '
“ Your Royal Highness, we are both dis-
covered; II shall blow my brains out.”
Philip turned round in amazement, ‘ and
saw a negro at his side. ’
“ What do you want, mask 1?” he
in all unconcerned tone. .
“ I um- Colonel Kali,” whispered the ne-
gro “ The Marshal’s wife has been chatter-
ing to Duke Herman, , and he has been
breathing fire and fury against us both."
“ He is quite welcome,” answered Philip.
“But the king will hear it all,” sighed the
negro. “ This very night I may be arrested
and carried to a dungeon; I’ll sooncr hang
myself.”
“ No need of- that,” said Philip.
asked,
my whole life ? I am lost, I tell you. The
Duke will demand entire satisfaction. His
back is bla'ck and blue yet with the marks
of the cudgeliing I gave him. I am lost,
and the baker’s daughter, too! I’ll jump
from the bridge and drown myself at once l”
“God forbid !” answered Philip; “what
have you and the baker’s daughter to do
with it ‘2” . ' ‘ -
“Your Royal Highness banters me, and I
am in _.despairi—I humbly beseech you to
give me two minutes’ private conversation.”
Philip followed the negro into a small
bOudoir dimly lighted up with a few can-
dies. The negro threw himself on a sofa,
quite overcome, and groaned aloud. Philip
found some sandwiches and-wine on the ta-
ble, and helped himself with great relish.
“ I wonder your RoyallHighness can be
so cool_oli hearing this cursed story: If that ,
rascally Salmoni was here who noted the
conjurer, he might save us by some contri-
vance, for the fellow. was a bunohvof tricks.
As itis, he hasslipped out ofthe sorape.”
“ So much the better,” interrupted Philip,
replenishing his glass; “ Since he has got'
out of the way, we‘ca'n throw all the blame
~ on his shoulders.” '
“ How can we do that? The Duke, I tell
you, knows that you, and Land the Mar-
shal’s wife, and the baker’s daughter, were
all'in the p10t together, to :tllke" advantage
of his superstition. He- know; that it was
you that engaged Salmoni to play the con-
jurer; that it was I that instructed the ba-
ker’s daughter (with whom he is in love)
how to inveigle him into the snare; that it
was I that enacted the ghost, that knocked
him: down, and cudgelled him till- he roared
again; If I had’not only carried the joke
too far, but I wished to cool his love a little
for my sweetheart. ’Twns a devilish busi;
ness. , I’ll take poison.”
“Rather swallow a glass of wine,—-’t is
delicious,” saidPhilip, taking another tart
at the same time. “For to tell you the
truth, my friend, I think you are rather a
white-livered sort of rogue for a colonel, to
think of hanging, drowning, shooting, and
poisoning yourself about such a ridiculous
stOry as that. One of these modes would
f9ur:n9n;
sense. I tell you that atthis moment I don't ‘
“ Your Royal Highness have pity on me,
~ my brain is turned. The Duke’s page, an
old friend of mine, has told me this very
moment, that the Marshal’s .wife, inspired
.by the devil, went up to the Duke, and told
fin that the trick played on him at the ba-
ker’s house was planned by Prince Julian,
who opposed his marriage with his sister;
that the spirit he saw was myself, sent by
tile-Princess to be a witness of his supersti-
tion; that yourgfii‘gllness was a. 'witnes'e- of
his descent into the pit. after hidden gold,
and, of his promise to make the baker’s
daughtd- his mistress, and alsoIto make her
one of the nobility- immediately after his
marriage with the Prinbess. “ Do not how
to gain the Princess. It is useless for you
to try!” were the last Words of the Mar-
shal’s wife to the Duke.” - I f _
“ And a pretty story it is,” muttered Phil:
ip; “why, behavior like that would be a
disgrace to the meanest of the people. 'I
declare there is no end to these deviltl'ies.”
“Yes indeed. ’T is impossible to behave
more mcanly than the Marshal’s lady. ‘ The
save me from destruction.” ' ’I = »
“ Where is the Duke?” Asked Pll' 'p.
“ The page told me he started up on hear-
ing the story, and said, “ I’ll go to the king.”
And if he tells the story'lo the king in his
own w‘ay— , _ ' .
“ Is the king here, then ?”
“Oyes, he is at play in the next room
with the Archbishop and Minister of P0-
lice.” ' ' ' .
- Philip walked with long steps through
the boudoirj The case required considera.
tion. ‘
“ Your Royal Highness,” said the negro,
protect me. , Your own honor is at stake.—
You can easily'make all straight; other-
wise, I’am ready, at the firstiutfmation of
danger, to fly across the border. I will pack
up, and to-morrow I shall expect your last
commands as to my illture behavior.”
With these words the negro took his
leave; , .

woman must be a fury. My gracious lord, ,
business is. pressing, and deeply concerns' .
at your Highness's service,” answered the
Miner, and showed his face, which looked
as ifit-werc a second mask with its little
eyes and copper-colbred nose,
“Well, then, my lord, what are your coin-
mands ?”
“May I speak openly? I waited on your
Royal Highness thrice, and was never ad-
mitted to the honor of an audience; and yet
r—Heaven is my witness—no man in all this
court has a deeper interest in your Royal
Highness than I have.” . ‘ .
“I am greatly obliged to you,” replied
Philip; “what is your business just now?
But be quick.” .
“MayIveuture tb speak 'of the house of
Abrham Levi ?”
“As mucbas you like.”
“They have applied to me about the fifty
thousand dollars which you owe them, and
threaten to” apply lorthe king. And you re-
member your promise to his Majesty who
last he paid your debts.” , '
“Can’t the people wait?” asked Philip.
“No more than the Brothers, goldsmiths,
who demand their seventy-five thousand
dollars.” '
“It is all one to me,,. If the peoplc'won't
wait for their money, I must-J '
“No hasty resolution, my gracious Lord!
I have it in my power to make everything
comfortable, if—-.” ,
“Well, if what ‘3”
“If you will honor me by listening to me
one moment. I hope to have ‘no difficulty
in redeeming all your debts. The house of
Abraham Levi has bought up immense quan-
tities of corn, 'so that the price is very much
raised. ~ A decree against importation will
raise it three or four per cent higher. By
giving Abraham Levi the monopoly, the
business will be arranged. The house erases
your seventy-five thousand dollars to the
goldsmiths, and I give you over the receipts. ;
But everything depends on my continuing
for another year at the head of the Finance.
If Baron Gficfensack sucCeeds in ejecting
me from the ministry, I shall be unable to
serve your Royal Highness as I could wish.
If your Highness will leave the party of
Griefcnsack, our point is. gained. For me, it
is a matter of perfect indifference whether I
remain in office or mu. :1 sigh for repose.
But for your Royal Highness, it is a matter
of great moment. If I have not the mixing.
of the pack, I lose the game.” ' ’ ‘
Philip for some time did not know what
answer to make. At-last, while the Finance
Minister, in expectation of his reply, took a
pinch out Of his snuff-box set with jewels, -
Philip said :— ‘
“IfI rightly understand you, Sir Count,
you would starve the country a little in or:
der to pay my debts. Consider, sir, What,”
misery you will cause. And will the king
consent to it ‘2” . . ,
“IfI remain ill office, I will answer for
thatymy gracious Lord ! When the price of
corn rises, the king will, of course think of
permitting importation, and ‘ prevent expor-
tation by levying heavy imposts. The per-
mission to do so is given 'to the house of Abra-
ham Levi, and they export as much as they
choose. But as I said before, if Griefensuck
gets the helm nothing can be done. For the
first year he would be obliged to attend
strictly to his duty, in order id be able after-
wards to feather his nest at the expense of
the country. He must first make sure of his
ground. He is dreadfully grasping!”
“A pretty project,” answered Philip ; “and-
how long do you think a finance minister
must be in Office before he can lay his shears
on the floclnto get wool enough for himself
“0, if he has his wits about him, he may
manage it in a year.” ‘
“Then the king ought to be counselled to
change his finance minister every twelve
months,ifhe wi'shes to be faithfully and hon-
orably served.” ‘
“I hope, your Royal Highness, that since I
have had the Exchequer, the king and court
have been faithfully server .”
“I believe you, Count, and the poor people
believe you stillmorc. Already they scarce-
ly know how to pay their rates and taxes.
You should treat us with a little more con-
sideration, Count.”
“Us !—don’t I do everything for the court?"
“No! I mean the people. You should
have a little more consideration for them.”
“I appreciate what your Royal Highness
sm'rhmtifmrceboJéng—qmltheagmfithc—
try is his private property, and the people
are only useful to him as increasing the value
of his land. But this is no time to discuss
the old story about the interests of the peo-
ple. I beg your Royal Highness’s answer to
my propositions. ' Shall I have the honor to
discharge your debts on the above specified
conditions i” " , '
“Answer,———no,—-nevcr, never! at the ex=
pcuse of hundreds and thousands of starving
families.” .
“But, your Royal Highness, if in addition
house of Abraham Levi present you with
fiftyihousand dollars in hardcash ? I think
it may afford you that sum. The house will
gain so much by the operation, that—”
' “Perhaps it may be able to- give you also
a mark ofits regar .” I ’
“Your Highness is pleased to - jest with
me. [I gain nothing by the affair. My whole ’
Object is to obtain the protection of your
Royal Highness.” ’
' “You are very polite !”
“I may hope then; Prince?”
“Count, I will do my duty; do you yours.”
“My duty is to be of service to you. To-
morrow I shall send for Abraham, and con--
elude the arrangement with, him. I shall
have the boner to present your Royal High-
ness with the reocipt for all your debts, be-
sides tlio gift of fifty thousand dollars.”
“Go, I want to hear no more of it.”
, “And your Royal Highess will honor me
with your favor? For unless I am in the
Ministry, it is impossible for me to deal with
Abraham Levi so as—” -
,“I wish to heaven you and your ministry
and Abraham Levi were all three on tile

nopoly from that infernal Jew, I’ll go this
moment and reveal your villany to the king,
and get you and Abraham Levi banished

my word !”» Philip turned away in a rage,
and proceeded into the dancing-room, leav-j
ing the Minister of Finance petrified with
amazement.

“When does your Royal Highness require
the carriage ?” whispercd‘a stout little Dutch
merchant in u. bobbed wig.
“Not at all,” answered Philip.
“T’is utter half past] eleven, and the bean-
tiful singer expects. you. She will tire of
waiting.”- . .
“Let her sing something to cheer her)“
“How, Prince? Have you changed your,
mind? Would you leave the captivating
Rollins in the lurch, and throw away the
golden opportunity you have been sighing
for two monihs ? The letter you sent to-day,
enclosing the diamond watch, did wonders.
The proud but fragile beauty surlenders.
This morning you were in ruptures, and now
you are as cOld as ice! What is the cause of
the change i” . . '
“That is my business, not yours,” said
Pl‘i‘iliphad your orders to join you at half
past eleven. Perhaps you have other en-
gagements ?” I
“Perhaps.” -
“A peat-0017111- with the Countess Born ?
She is not present here; at least 'among all .
.matter. I’ll get him kidnapped, and sent to
or the price of corn, and take away the mo- '
'her purity. Now you know what I think-
kuow her among a thousand by that grace-
ful walk and her peculiar way -of carrying
her little head,—ch,‘ Prince ?”
“Well, but if it were so, there would be no
necessity. for making you my' confidant,
would there?” ' .
' “I will take the hint, and be silent. But
won’t you at any rate send to the Signora
Rollins to let her know you are not com-
ing ?” , » .
“If I have sighed for her for two months,
she had'bctter sigh a menth or two for me.
I sha’n’t go near her.”
“So that-beautiful necklace whic you sent
her for a new year’s present waa all fo
nothing 1’” _ ”
“As far as I am concerned.” '
“Will you break with her entirely ?”
‘fThere is nothing between us to break,
that I knowgf.” ,
“Well, then, since you speak so plainly, I
may tell you something which you perhaps
know already. ___Your love to tile Signora
has hitherto kept me silent; but now that
you have altered your mind shout her, I can
no longer keep the secret from you. You
are deceived.”
“By whom ?"
“By the artful singer. She would divide
her favors between your Royal Highness
and a Jew.” -
“A Jew pit _
“Yes! with the son of Abraham Levi.”
“Is that rascal everywhere ?”
“So your Highness did not know it ; 'butI
am telling you 'the exact truth: if it were not
for your Royal Highness; she would be his
mistress. I am only sorry you gave her
that watc ."
“_I don’t regret it at all.”
“The jade deserves to be whipped.”
Philip. . 4 ' ~ ,,
“Too true, too true, your Royal Highness.
For instance, I have discovered a girl,—0
Prince, there is notsuch another in this city
or in the whole world! Few have seen this
angel. Pooh! Rosilina is nothtng to her.
Listen,—a girl tall and slender as a palm
tree,—with 'a complexion. like the red glow
of evening upon snow,—eyes like sunbeams
—rich golden tresses,—in short, the most
beautiful creature I ever beheld,-a Venus,
—a goddess in rustic attire. Your Highess,
Wcunust give her chase.”
. “A peasant girl 2—” ’
“A mere rustic; but then you must see her
yourself, and you will love her. But‘my de:
scriptions are nothing. Imagine the embod-
iment of all that you can conceive most
charming,——add to that, artlessness, grace,
and innocence. But the difilcultyiis to catch
sight of her. She seldom leaves her mother.
I know her seat in church, and have watch-
ed her for many Sundays past, as she walk-
ed with her mother to Elm-Gate. I have
ascertained that a handsome young fellow, a
gardener, is making court to her. He can’t
marry her, for he is a poor devil, and she has
nothing. The mother is the widowgof a poor
weaver.”
“And the mother’s name is ?——"
Widow Bittsier, in Milk Street; and the
daughter,fairest of flowers, is in fact called
Rose.” . ‘
Philip’s blood boiled at the sound of the
beloved name. His first inclination‘was to
knock the communicative Dutchman down.
He restrained himself, however, _, and only
ssked,—-. - I »
“Are you the devil himself i” .

“Not a word .morc,” cried the enraged
Philip in a smothered voice; for he dared
not speak alond,1lc was so surrounded by
maskers, who were listening, dancing, talk-

Dutchman with the force of a vice.

intense pain; “only let” go my arm.”

The Dutchman seemed almost stupefied;

In the meantime Philip’s substitute sup-
ported his‘ character of watchman on the
snow-covered streets. It is scarcely neces-
sary to say, that this was none other than
joiuthe watch,——llis head being Crazed by
the fire of the sweet wine. He attended to
thedircctions left by Philip, and went his
rounds, and called the hour with great de-
corum, except that, instead of. the usual
watchman's verses, he favored the public
with rhymes of his own. He was cogitating

Go now,——we may be discovered.” She tried
to go, but J ulian held her back and threw.-
his arms round her.
_ “What, wilt thou leave me so coldly ?” he
said, and tried to press a kiss upon her lips.
Rose did not know what to think of this
boldness, for Philip had always been modest
and never dared more than kiss her hand
except once,when her mother had forbidden
their meeting again. They had then ‘ex:
changed their first kiss in great sorrow find:
in great love, but never since then. -, She
struggled to free herself, but Julian held her

» “A dream,—-what was it 2” ,
“You had won a prize in the lOttery ;‘ we
were both so happy! You had bought a
beautiful garden,handsomer than any in the
city. It was a little Paradise of flowers;-
and there were large beds of vegetables, and
the trees were laden with fruit. And when
I dwok‘e, Philip, I félt so wretched,—-I
wished I had not dreamed such a happy
dream. You’ve nothing in the lottery, Phil~
ip, have you ? Have you really won any-
thing? The drawing took place today.”
“How much' must I have ' gained to win
you too ‘2” . . ‘
“All, Philip, if you had only gained a thou-

garden!” ,.
“A thousand dollars! And what if it
were more?” -
“All, Philip,—whnt? is it true? is it real-
ly ? Don’t deceive me ! ’twiil be worse than
the dream. You had a. ticket! and'you’ve

“All you can wish for.”
”Rose flung her arms around his neck in
the extremity of her joy, and kissed him.

Her kiss made the Prince forget to an?
swer. It was so strange to hold a pretty
form in his arms, receive its caresses, and to
know‘ they were not meant for him.
~“Answcr me, answer me !” cried Rose,
impatiently. “Will they givc you all that
money ?” ‘
“They ’ve done it already,—and if it will
add-to your happiness, I will hand it to you
this moment.” ,
“What !I have you got it with you 1?”

“0 not this—nor all the gold in the world
if you were not my own dear Philip !”,
. “And how if I had given you twice as
much as all this money, and yet were not
your own dear Philip? .
“I would fling the purse at your feet, and
make you a very polite courtesy,” said Rose. .
A door now opened; the light streamed
down upon the steps, and the laughing voices
of girls were heard. Rose whispered,—
“In half an hour, at St. Gregory’s,” and
run up the steps, leaving tile'Pl-incc in the
darkness. Discouceried by the suddeuuess
of the parting, and‘ his curiosity excited by

The interview with Rose, or the coldness
of the night, increased the effect Of the wine
to'such an extent that the mischievious pro-
pensities of the young Prince got the upper'
people, in the middle of the street, he blew
so instily on his horn that the women scream-

his lungs,—-— I

Shame! shame!” cried several female
voices from the window, at the end of this
complimentary efl'usion, which, however,
was crowned with a. loud laugh from the
men. “Bravo, watchman,” cried some;
“encore! encore !" shouted others. “How
dare you, fellow, insult ladies in the open
street 1’” growled a yoimg lieutenant, who
had a verry pretty girl ,on his arm. ' '
“Mr. Lieutenant,” answered a. miller, “um
