them. They salute their captain and take oft their caps" to his guests. The sailors have tho name of the ship painted on the ribbon that goes round their hats. The decks are smooth as glass, and clean as new fallen snow The brass fittings of the wheel and the binnacle and the companion-way, shine like gold! Guns, too ! Warlike, deadly looking guns mounted on gun-carriages, as if the ' Diamante' were a ship of war 1 " Eoes that surprise you ? says the Captain, with his grave smile. "A merchant vessel of this tonnage is bound to carry heavy ordnance. We need them for firing salutes ; and sometimes even for sell defence- We might fall in with such folk as pirates, off Borneo and the coast of China, and then we should bo very glad of our

guns." , , , . "I thought you only traded between Bari and Venice," says Uncle Stefano, with a bewildered face. " I never said that. Not but what ,we have sometimes shipped a cargo at Ban. But for the most part, the 'Diamante trades farther afield. Our last trip was to the West India islands." Then he takes them round the decks, and La Giulietta, who has never seen anything in the way of a boat bigger than the pleasure skiffs on the Adige, has the compass explained to her, and the use of the steers man's wheel; and peeps down into tho huge, dark, empty holt1, not long since cleared of its cargo of indigo, coffee, and spices. Then a bell sounds and they go down to luncheon. A cabin, not large, indeed, but well; lighted, with little mirrors let into panelled walls, and fittings of horsehair and mahogany, and a sofa seat under the stern windows ; a table glittering glass and bright with flowers ; a luncheon that is in truth a dinner, well cooked, well served ; wines that froth when they are poured out, and forks made of silver and bigger than spoons I—such wonders as these hold the simple guc3ts silent and awestruck. Donato takes the head ot the tabic, and his iirst mate the foot; La Giulietta sits at her lover's right band, and her uncle at his left. The second mate docs not appear. The stcwardwaits, with a napkin under his arm, Little is done iv the way of conversation ; and that little is led by the Captain and respectfully seconded by tbe mate. La Giulietta, mean while, marvels, how her uncle can lind courage to eat in the midst of, so much magnificence ; for Stefano Beni, despite his amazement, is perfectly able to enjoy his dinner. The mate leaves the table when the cloth is removed ; and the Captain and bis guests arc served with coffee. Then it is time to sec something of the sights of

Venice. " First let nic show you my counting house and sleeping-berth," says Donato, opening a door that leads Into two little cabins, the one giving upon the other. _ The first which he calls his " counting house " is a tiny office, in which he keeps his ledgers, log-book, charts, correspond ence, and so forth. The second, besides the ordinary berth-turniturc, contains some three or four shelves of books, a telescope on brackets, and, arrayed upon the walls, some curious Oriental arms, a cutlass, a fowling piece, and a brace of pistols. The books, in their handsome bindings, look so attractive that I a Giulietta ventures, timidly, to take one from the shelf; but it proves to be in some foreign language, and she can make nothing of it. Replacing it, she takes down another. This time, not only the language but tbo very alphabet is unknown to her, " Ynu nic fond of reading, Carina ?' asks her lover, "I sometimes think I am too fond of

" Yes ? And what reading do you like best—poetry and romances? Ah 1 I thought as much. Nay, my books will not please you." "She was looking now at a well-worn "♦Ho volume, gilt-edged aud vellum-

/sound. •• What is this ?" she asked, shyly. It is not Italian—it looks Vko a Missal."

" It is so far like a Missal, that it is in latin. These are the Odes of Horace. Have you never heard ol Horace ? He was a poet, and a Roman—a Roman of the old Pagan time when Jove was worshipped and Christ was not yet come." " That must have been before Romeo and Giulietta ?" " Ah ; long before." "And you can read it ? Why, you are as learned as Padre Anselrao 1" !' Who is Padre Anselmo?' " He is the Parish priest of Montorio-a saint upon earth ; and learned—oh !so learned ! He knows not only Latin, but Greek ; and he has written a book." "He must bo a wonderful man," said Donato, smiling. " Rut what will you say it I tell you that I have a friend at Bari, a Canon of the Catbedr.l, who knows Hebrew nnd A tabic as well a. Latin and Greek, and who has written at loast a dozen books, some of which are as big as those ledgers of mine yon were looking at junt now ?" The girl lifted her eves to him in wonder \ Canon of the Cathedral! It was as if be bad said that he was intimate with the Pope ! The wheelwright, meanwhile, was peering somewhat curiously at a small ebony casa •that hung near the cabin-door. It was a neatly made little case, like a tiny shrine, and it had folding doors mounted on silver binges, and a silver key-hole. The whole thing, frame and all, did not measure more than eight inches by six. " May one ask what this is, " he said. Donato took a small silver key from his watch-chain, uulocked his case, and dis closed a couple of miniatures on a back ground of purple velvet. The one was n "mere bead—a boy's head, apparently—set cherub-like in a mist of clouds against a background of blue sky ; the other represented a lady dressed in the short waisted fashion so familiar to ourselves iv portraits ot the Princess Charlotte and her contemporaries. The girl's colour changed. " How beautiful I"

She said it, as it were, under her breath, and with a sinking heart. She dreaded to ask whose portraits thoy were. Could it be that her lover had already been a husband and a father. "Mv mother," said Donato, with tender seriousness.

The wheelwright pulled out his spectacles, wiped them carefully, and stared at the miuiaturcs in respectful silence. La Gmlielta's eyes filled with sudden tears, " She was very beautiful. She died many —many years ago, when I was!a lad." And tin's? said old Stefano. "Is this your own portrait ?" Donato, a yet graver shade stealing over his features, shook his nead. " My younger brother," he said, softly. "He is living?" But tho girl, with a woman's quick sympathy, saw how it was, and answerod for him.

" No, No," she said, hurriedly. "Don't ask—it pains him 1" Donato closed the ebony doors and turned the key in silence. Then he drew her to his side, and kissed heron the forehead. " I have only you, dear," he said. Five minutes later they were in a gondola, glidins actoss the shining waters and making for the landing-place, in front of the Piazza of St. Mark. And then the rest of the afternoon went by in a wondrous dream —a dream of intricate canals crossed by in numerable bridges; of narrow streets crowded with foot-passengers ; of churches all sculpture without, all golden doom of mosaics and paintings within; of islands lyiner afar off in the warm blaze of the sinking suu ; of gardens, and public squares, and music of military bands; of the soft lapsing of green waters against marble steps ; of a crimson sunset, and a magical twilight; of night and the stars, and the flying train again. And then home.

CHAPTER XLVI,

UNDER THE DAEK ARCHWAY.

"I can hardly believe that it was not a dream 1"

|It was La Giulietta who spoke. Her uncle, tired after his day's work, had dropped asleep in his chair. The lovers were out upon the balcony, talking about Venice. It was a little after eight in the ) evening. Tbo sky was dark overhead ; and, save some empty vetturas, the yard below was deserted. Old Anita, with her brazier and her three-legged stool, had cleared out long ago from under the archway; the business of the tiattoria was over for the day : and only here and there between attic and basement was a lighted window to be seen; for already most of the lodgers in the Osteria del Cappello were gone to bed. " Wait till you have seen Venice by moon light," replied Donato; " then, indeed, you will say it must be a dream. What I like is to take a gondola, and go about [the side canals at nights, gliding silently out of dark ness iuto light, and back again into dark ness. Everything is ghostly. You round a corner, and something splashes into the water behind you—it seems as if a murder might have been done. You pass under a balcony, and hear voices in stealthy con versation ; or uudcr a lighted window, and listen to a woman singing within. Every house seems full of mystory—every gondola you meet seems to carry a"secret.". " I don't think 1 should like it," said the girl. " I should be afraid."

" Not if I were with you, dear T' "Ah, no—not with you." " You would go anywhere, and feel safe anywhere, with me ?'

" Anywhere I" " There are so many places to which I should like to take you—ay, and to which I will take yon, by and by. Beautiful islands, where ferns grow to the size of trees, [ and palm-woods peopled with monkeys "and parrots come down to the water's edge. Some of these arc coral islands, built up from the bottom of the sea by myriads of tiny insects, Those are places in which winter is unknown. Then in slimmer we will steer northwards, to thecoastsof Sweden and Norway, where you will see whales spouting in deep water, and seals sunning themselves on the sands. And at one place to which 1 will take you, you shall behold the sun shining at midnight. You can hardly believe that ? Yet it is true." " How much you know I" she said. " How much you have seen 1" " A sailor cannot help picking up scraps of knowledge by the way. We do not go to sea with our eyes shut."

" Ah, but you have education I" " 1 can read and write, and keep my log and my ledgers." The girl shook her head. " You know Latin," she said, " and other foreign tongues printed in strange letters that I never saw till I looked at your hooka the other day."

" What of that ? lam a trader, and my business takes me to foreign ports where I .hould be badly of! indeed if I could not make myself uoderstood. Besides, like yourself, I am tond of reading ; and at sea, with plenty of loasure, it would be hard iff could not manage to be learning some. thiDS-". , , ■ , , She listened; she sighed. "It is not that," she said. "It is not what you have taught yourself, or what you bavc picked up. You are a scholar. T_our —your mother was a lady. Nay, I am a poor, ignorant girl; but in this I cannot be deceived. I saw it in her portrait. She was not one of us—nor are you." "You know me for what I am—a trader: a man of the people 1" "No ; you are—a gentleman." "And supposing I were a prince," he said lightly ; •' what then»" "I should he too far beneath you—as! am now."

" Why, Giulietra mia ! Why, carina— what folly is this .'' He caught her in his arms; he kissed her eyes, and found them wet with tears. " You are a silly child," be said. "If I were a Eing, and you loved me, your love would make you my equal ! But I am not a King. I am not even 'Romeo and a Montague.' lam a simple Cesare Donate, who loves you with all his heart, and loves you for all his life. Listen, dearest—l am respectably bom—ratber more so, perhaps, than most men of my station; and you are right in believing that I have received a tolerably good education. But do you sup pose that I want a learned wife '». Should I love you one jot better if you knew Latin ?"

"No, but " " But what ?" " 1 fear you will love me less by-and-by, if—if you are ashamed of me."

"My Giulietta," eaid her lover, seriously, " you may be quite sure that I know my own mind, and that 1 shall never change. I am older than you by many years—some might say, perhaps, that I am too old and too grave for one so young as yourself—so young and so bright! But old as 1 am, you are my first love. "Ami? Ami, indeed?" "My first, dear; and my last. With me it is once and for ever."

" Once nnd for ever !" she repeated, nestling closer within bis arm.

"And never-never again—tell me that I could be ashamed ol you. How could Ibe anything but proud of the woman I love ? How could I love her, if I was not proud of her ?"

"But I am only a poor girl," she whispered. "I have no knowledge—no manners. When your friends sec me . . . ."

"I have no friends," ho interrupted quickly. "Or rather, 1 have but one—that one of whom I told you the other day. You need not be afraid of him; he is an old man, learned as one of the Fathers of the Church, and simple as a child." "But you have relations ?"

" Well, I have cousins • but I iiave not seen them for many years. You know how it is with relations. If one is brought np with them from childhood, the tie is close and real; but when families arc scattered and the young ones grow up apart, then relationship ceases to be a tie, and is for gotten. That is my case. Those distant relatives may be dead, for aught I know—l should hardly remember them if I taw them ; and lam sure they would not re member me."

"I have relations whom I have never even .ecu," said the girl; "my aunt Francesca Petrucelli and her family. She lives near Naples, at a place called San Lorenzo. She is a widow, and has a farm of her own, and a family of three daughters and four sons. I . should dearly like to see her, and my seven unknown cousins."

" I will take you there, carina, if you like, when we go for our wedding cruise. No don't thank me. Whatever pleases you. makes me happy." " You must not indulge me too much," she said. " You will spoil me." He passed his hand caressingly over her hair.

"I had always meant to take you to Naples and Sicily for that first trip, my darling. And I have been thinking, too, how we will make you comfortable on board the Diamante. I mean to shift my first mate to a berth amid-ships, and turn his present cabin into a sort of dressing-room and counting-house for myself. Then we will knock away the partition between my own two little cabins, and make a good state room for you. Mind, I expect my littlo wife to be a good sailor 1 She will have to go round the world with me." A vettura drawn hy a white horse came jolting under the archway, and drew up in the middle of the yard. The girl ■ had shrunk back at the-first sound of wheels; but seeing the old white horse, she was re assured, and went on talking. 'Tonio Moretti's horses w-cre both bays. " How long would it take to go round tho world ?" she asked.

"In a sailing vessel ?" impossible to tell. Much would depend on her length of stay in foreign parts, and still more on wind and weather. However, I don't propose that we shall literally circumnavigate the globe, carina; but only that you shall make many a voyage with me in the ' uiamante.'"

" But what would become of Uncle Stefano ?"

"He can come too, if he likes. We have accommodation enough and to spare." "As if Uncle Stefano would go to sea! Yet how lonely he would be here in Verona !"

" Why need he stay in Verona ? He has worked long enough. It is time he took ■ life more easily. What if he came to Bari i I have a house there, you know, and a bit of land. I have let the land, hitherto; and as for the house, I have only lived in it for a few weeks at a time, twice or thrice in the year. Now lam going to furnish it, and make it pretty for you ; and if your uncle would live with us and farm tho land for me I would take it back into my own hands. How would that be, think you ?" She thought, of course, that nothing could be bettor. It was but the other day that he said how he would fain sit in the shade of his own vine, and eat polenta of his own growing; and would not this be almost the same thing? The vetturino in the yard, meanwhile, had taken his horse cut of tho traces,' and led him into the stable. And now they could hear the other horses whinnying a welcome to their comrade, and the vetturino whistling, and moving to and fro. In the street outside, all was as quiet as at mid night. "Tell me about your house at Bari,' she said, her cheek resting against his shoulder, "Isit an old house ? Were you bom there?"

"Itis a little whitehousc, carina; neither very new nor very old ; and I certainly was not borne there, for I bought it only two or three years ago. It was just a sailor's fancy ; for when a man is Knocking about the occan,helikes to know that thcrc'sa rood or so of dry land all bis own, on which he can set foot when he comes ashore. Well, the house stands high, on the terrace lookin" to the sea. It has a pergola in front; and on the terrace there grows a palm-tree—a real African palm. Tlio hill-side is covered with vines and olive-gardens; and down below, on a jutting promontory, washed on three sides by the bluest sea in the world, lies the great white town, with its castle, and its cathedral, and its harbour full of shipping," " It must be as beautiful as Veuice !'' "Ah no,—there is but one Venice. Yet " "Yet what?" He leaned over the balcony, and locked round the yard. " Ifancied I heard a sound underneath," he said ; '•' as if some one was listening." " Perhaps it was Mona Teresa shaking out her cloth after supper. Her balcony is just below ours." i " Very likely. At all events, she is not there now." " Aud you were saying " (To be continued on Saturday.)
