enmc down himself in the courso of the evening, and ordered a fowl and a bottle of Al"-'iieo for supper ?" " Yes," sa;d Br g tn, the wile of _'_e!amc clogniaker ; " and the eirl Maria, who took np tbe tray, told me they had both lucerne lighted, aid mist beautiful flowers on tho table. It was quite a Festa I" "Woll, but who is he?" " Where docs he come from ?" " What is his name ?'' "He comes from Venice—l know that for certain," says Brigitta. "What will Tonio say?" "Poor 'Tonio! He'll be fine and aDgry, I'll warrant."

" And with reason. 'Tonio ha 3 not been well treated." "No, indeed. Why, he has courted I a Uiulietta for the last twelve months !''

"And now to be turned oil for a stranger whom nobody has ever seen before ! But there !—he was too good for her." "Much too good," She never knew haw to value him." "Che ! die ! cho !" some girls don't know v, hen they're well oft. "A lad that any lady might have been proud to have for her sweetheart, 1" "I don't think much of the one sho has put over his head," says Monna Teresa. Dame Giannetta shrugs her shoulders. " Neither of my girls would look at him," she says, scornfully. "He is ever so much older than Ton in !"

"Five-and-thirty, at the least !" " And not half so good-looking." " Then that red beard! Ugh! Not to obey the Holy Father himsclt would I have married a mail with a red beard, when I was a girl !" " Well, well, there must be something at the bottom of it, "He's well off, may be."

" Absurd !—a sailor, and well-off! lliose fellows spend their money as fast as they get it." "I must say I am astonished that neighbour Beni should favour euch a match," Fays Dame Giannctta, goiDg off majestically, with her can upon her head, " I should bo sorry, indeed, not to look higher fur 'my'girls! A sailor, forsooth ! I should like to see Lota or Lisa taking up with a sailor!"

La Giulietta, meanwhile, little dreamed that her secret was even suspected; but becau.-e she desired to avoid 'Tonio Moretti, alio kept away from tlie well at the hours when it was most frequented. Whereupon the gossips taking it for granted that she was avoiding themselves through malice prepense, credited her with pride, slyness, ami every uiiainlablc quality under heaven. " Is it you who have thrown La Giulietta over or is it la Giulietta has thrown you over, 'Tonio '!" asked Dame Gianetta, meet ing him in the yard ns lie was going to dinner. I'or bainx alone and a bachelor, Iho young man generally took his meals at the listeria.

" What do you mean, Dame Giannctta ?' he said frowning, " Kb, doar me ! we all thought it was going to bo a match !''

" Malch or no match, what business is it of nny one's?"

" No oH'.ncc, 'Tonio—only one la sur> prised, yon know." "Surprise!! What the devil aro you surpri. nil about ':" " Giclo ! haven't you heard ? Ah well — I'm no muchief-inakcr, Good morning, 'Tonio !"

Andawsy went Dame Glannetta, leaving the vn'tiirino tog., to hia dinner with what appotite ho might. His appetite, however, was not much Im paired by the conversation. Perhaps he did not particularly notice what was put be fore bim, or how it was served. Perhaps he washed it down with an extra draught of the thin red wine which was the favoured drink of the establishment; but except that lie was a trifle more sulky than usual, tlie young man betrayed nothing of the un easiness brooding in his breast. Still he ' was ' uneasy. .Stefano Beni had by no means welcomed bim as he conceived he aught to have been welcomed. The wheel wright had, in fact, thrown tlie coldest of cold water on his suit. As for the girl her self, she syetematically avoided him. Then what about the stranger in the Piazza Bra ? And, above all, what about these hints of Dame Giannetla's ?

Too proud to question any of those who could have told him tlie gossip of the place, he nursed his disquietude till the day's work was done ; then made up his mind to pay a vi*it to the Beuis, and bring matters to an i. sue. But he went lirst to his lodging in cmarten himself as became a suitor on his promotion. He was a self-cinGdent young fellow enough ; yet his heart beat quicker as he went up the stairs. " You here?" said the wheelwright, him self answering the bell. " May one pay you a littlo visit this evening, neighbour Beni ? I have come to offer my respects to the Signoriua Giulietta; and, to-morrow being a Fesla, to invite you for a drive in the country. I will put both my lior.es to my vettura, aud take you to tbe Pontc di Veja." He had conned this little speech over in his mind all the afternoon, and ho flat tered himself that Le delivered it with be coming fluency. "My niece," said the wheelwright, "place a seat for our visitor."

La Giulietta put down her work, rose silently, and placed a chair as far as possible from her own. She had ou her best black gown, a little knot of crimson ribbon at her throat, and a white rose in her hair. The room was full of light. There were flowers on the table. And Stefano Beni

was in his* Sunday coat.

'Tonio Moretti

was not gifted with very keen powers of ob;ervation ; but he could see that they were expecting a guest. " I hope I am not unwelcome," he said, half-deliantly ; standing with his hand on the back of the chair. " I come as a fiiend. Do you accept my invitation .'' The wheelwright glanced nt his ncice. " We cannot accept it," bo replied. " Cannot"' " But we thank you all the same." " Cannot means ' will not,' I suppose ?" "Not so. It means that wo are en gaged." A black frown settled on 'Tonio Moretti's brow. "You are not engaged for tbe whole day ?" be said, incredulously. " Yes; for tho whole day. We go out early in the morning, and we shall not be back till evening." " You say that to get rid of me. I don't believe it." " I need not tell a lie ia order to get rid of you or any other intruder," retorted the wheelwright, wrathfully. " Oh I 1 am an intruder, am 11" " If you want plain speaking—yes." Tho vetturino broke into an angry laugh. " Good,"he said. "Now I understand what you mean ; but let me tell you—you especially, La Giulietta—that there arc plenty hero In Verona who would be only too well pleased by the like intrusion." The girl laid down her work, and looked at him for the fitst time. " We do not doubt it," She said, gently. "Wc know you mean kindly. Why need there be iough words on cither side ? Surely we may thauk you for your civility, and decline it, without offence." " I want to know if you decline 'me ?'" ho said, coming abruptly, and almost fiercely, to the point. " 1 asked your uncle the otber day. I meant to ask you to moirow. But if Igo now, I shall not come back again ;so let us out with it. I've courted you nigh upon a year; and you have known well enough what I meant. I -I shouldn't have courtedyou, if I hadn't loved you," . . . (here his voice shook a little, and his look Boftcned.) "Say; how shall it be ? Yes, or No ?" The girl turned her face away. " I am so sorry," she faltered. "Is it 'Yes,' "or 'No?'" " Enough, my lad ! Don't you see that it's 'No ?' " interposed Stefano, impa tiently. " Take your answer like a man and have done." But 'Topio Moretti never took his eyes from her face. " I am waiting for my answer," he said, turning very pale. " Indeed it must be ' No,'" the girl said, with trembling lips. " Is it that you like some one else better ? ' San ue di bio 1' I knew it. I knew

it. Well, whoever he is I wish you joy of him ? It's nothing to me. There arc dozens of girls—your betters every one—who will jump if I hold up my finger. So good-bye to you, La Giulietta; and if either of us lives to repent this ending, it won't be I!"

" You arc an insolent *cub 1" shouted the wheelwright, following Giro. But the vetturino had flung out of the rcom, crossed the passage, and already reached the outer door.

Now it chanced that at the moment when ho lifted the catch, some one on the outside pulled the bell; whereupon, the door being suddenly opened, ho almost ran against a man on the other side of the thres hold.

"I beg your pardon," said the coming guest, stepping quickly back. Aud by the dim light of the little oil-lamp ou the landing, 'Tonio Moretti recognised the stranger of the Piazza Brit. This was Cesare Donato's second visit in the character of an accepted lover ;as that of the previous evening was his first. So far, at all events, tho gossips were right,

———————I—^"*^> ~ " To-morrow doubtlesf, they would know Unit he had used the privilege of a "promesao " and come again ; and the very "cakes a_d ale "with which he was enlerlained would be no mystery to them. What they did notkr.ow, however, was the suddenness with which all these changes had been brought about. That had been asi cret aitachment opposition on the part of neighbour Stefano' slyness and secrecy, and deception all round' —of this they were positive, No amount of evidence would have convinced that the lives till little more (ban a week ago, and that they fell in love at lirst sight.

Tho lirst sight was somewhat formal, as such visits are wont to be. Donato felt that he was tieated as a guest, and to Stefano Beni he knew he was not altogether a welcome guest. But to-night— possibly because, being angered with one suitor, ho felt more favourably to tlie other; or per hap3 because he was becoming more accus tomed to the new order of tilings—the old man gave his future nephcw-in-law a better reception. Ho even shook hands with him when he came in, and when he went away. Then, too, they had much to talk about for, to-morrow being tlio Festa of _oi ne popular eaint, all Verona would make holi. day ; and it was arranged that La Giulictta and her uncle should go with Donaio to Venice for the day, to sec his ship, the barquo Diamante, there lying in hatbour. So, what with looking over the train-bill and planning the excursion, this second evening passed not only smoothly, but pleasantly. They were to start early in order to have a long day, and Donato pro posed that they should take the first ex press, leaving Verona at 7 a.m. This would rrivc them some niue or ten hours in Venice, and allow for returning caily in the evening.

" If I come for you at half-past six to morrow niDrniug, it will not he too soon," he said, at parting. " And I .will bring'a vettuia ; unless you prefer one from the yard below ?" But a vettura from the yard was not to be thought of. Neither was it desireable that he should come to fetch them when 'Tonio and all the gotsips were about. So t__ wheelwright suggested that they should meet at the station ; and thus it was settled.

" Weather permitting, you know," eaid old Beni,

" I promise a south east wind, a cloudless sky, and sunshine from dawn to dusk." "Nay, nay," said La Giulietta, seriously " Our Lady alone cau do that 1" But shc'-ccretly resolved to propitiate the Madonna that very night with a special taper.

GHAPTEK XLV. THE DIAMANTE.

Till. Madonna, doubtless, permitted herself to be propitiated ; for the weather next day turned out just as Donato predicted. Never was Tautumn morning more brilliant; the air crisp aud cool; the sky a dome of liquid blue ; hills, plain, and city Hooded with sunshine, At five, the bells began clanging from the campaniles ; and at half-past six, the wheelwright and his ncice passed out through the courtyard, and took their way towaids the Eomma Campagna station. The Strada Vicentino ia a long, hot road ; aud they had the sun full iv their faces all the way. But Stefano Beni was the last man in tbe world to fling away a couple of lire on coach-hire, even though it was a Festa. So they trudged ou amid a stream of pedestrians bound tor (lie same goal; aud presently 'Tonio Moretti, with new loscltes at hia horse's head and a camellia in h_3 buttonhole, drove past them at a gallop; his vettura full ot Austrian soldiers. The girl shrank back, and clung to her uncle's arm ; but the rejected suitor, seeming not to see them, vanished in a cloud of dust.

But who is this, in uniform of navy blue all glittering with anchor buttons, coming forward at the station to meet them.

Not Gesare Donato ?

He has a gold band to his cap, mid cold braid on his culls and collar. He looks like an Admiral. So, at least thinks La Giulietta, silent and Ehy, and half afraid, of her lover in his splenaour. " The master of a vessel bringing visitors aboard his ship on a Festa day, is bound to appear in uniform," he said apologetically. " It is a question of discipline." A question of discipline ! The girl began dimly to understand that this Cesare whom she had already learned to look upon as her very own, belonged to a class far above that in which she had herself bten born and bred. That he was master of a trading craft, that he was well-to-do, that ho was what Ulc:c Stefano called " a good match " —all this she had been told; but it had made slight impression on her. ISow, for the first time, she realised that he was a man whom other men obeyed. They are seated presently In a second class compartment, bound for Venice ; La Giulietta and her uncle on one side; Donato opposite. Old Stefano has insisted on paying for his neice's ticket and his own, notwithstanding that he is secretly of opinion that third-class seats in the cheap train which leaves after the express would have answered their purpose as well. The girl has never been to Venice. Only once before has she travelled by rail, '1 hat was to Mantua and back byan ordinary market-train, some three or four years ago. At first the express-speed frightens her. She) scarcely dares to to watch the flying landscape. But this tetror soon wears off; and presently Donato draws her attention to two castles on a solitary hill—the one standing high in picturesque ruin; the other half-way between the plain and the summit, and comparatively modem. These are the castles of the Montccchi. That shattered stronghold above is at least as old as tho time of the famous fend ; and Romeo was probably born within its walls.

Now they pass Viccnza with its lofty tower, and Padua with its domes. Then come marshy flats ; and soon a broad river is crossed, and Mestre is reached and beyond Mestre lies a silver lake stretching away to the horizon. Quaint fishing boats with parti-coloured sails glide slowly here and there across that placid waste ; yonder are some three or four black specks of gondolas ; and far away, from the midst of a low-lying bank of scft warm haze, rise the shadowy towers and cupolas of Venice.

Now the train enters upon the long bridge, and the shining waters arc all around them. The mainland becomes a strip of sand in the distance; tbe dream like city rises higher and nearer ; and then all at once, they slacken speed, run under cover, and come to a dead stop in a station —a big, commonplace railway terminnslike any other, full of clamour and bustle, " It's all very well," says Uncle Stefano ; " but I liked it best as it used to be in my time, when you took a boat and rowed it across from Mestre. It don't seem natural to come to Venice by railway." Now they emerge upon a broad fight of water-washed steps, and there is a general rush towards the gondolas, of which a black fleet is drawn up, waiting for hire. And now, from amid a crowd of porters, gondoliers, and hotel-toutcrs, there steps a smart sailor, who touches his broad brimmed straw hat, puts a whistle to bis lips, and blows a shrill note that rings high above all the din of voices.

Instantly from the opposite side of the canal there darts forward a trim long-boat manned by six rowers, who hoists their oars in salute when Donato comes in sight.

"Bound the Grand Canal," says be banding La Giulietta to a cushioned seat in tho stern. s-'o they lake their places. Then the rowers bend to their oars ; the boatswain steers ; the long-boat 6hoots out into the middle of the stream. And now, as they cleave their rapid way, the greeu water scintillating at every stroke, there is un folded a wondrous panorama—a panorama of pillared palace-fronts inlaid with precious marbles ; picturesque churches of old brown brick; and stately bell-towers, with pyramidical roofs clear cut against the blue. And there are huge posts before the palace doors, striped red and white and green and bine, which cast their many coloured reflections in the shifting waters. And there are Gondolas moored to these posts; gondolas everywhere, gondolas crossing and rccrossing, going with the stream and against the stream. And there are pleasure boats with gay awnings ; barges laden with grain ; and casks, ond timber, and sand; market-boats piled high with pumpkins, melons, and green and golden gcurds. Youder, under a vine trellis, sit a party of gondoliers drinking and smoking Here comes an eight-oared pinnace full of white coated officers. Now the boat glides past the mouth of a side canal, and they hear the wild cry of a coming goudolier— " Stali 1 ah, Stali !" Now they pass under the mighty arch of the Rialto, all iridiscent with reflected lights. This beautiful church is Santa Maria della Salute ; that long building with columned portico looking to the lagunc is the Sea- Custom House. And yonder lies the island of Saint George ; and that cloistered palace flushed with rose and patterned with lace work, aud those opalesceut domes beyond, and that solitary bell-tower staudiug alone, like a giant obelisk of channcllel brick work—these are the Ducal Palace, and the Cathedral and Campanile of St. Mark.

In fact 1 had tried all tho remedies known to the faculty, and what between travelling doctor.' and druggists' bills, hod spent a small fortune, almost if not wholly without results, except to injure my constitution. During a recant visit to Dokltika I was recommended to try your Extract of Eucalyptus Globulus by a brother who had experienced great bonellt from it in alleviating a very severe cold, and, no less to my surprise than satisfaction, 1 found tho disease which had troubled me so long was cononered, and the skin resumed its normal condition. This waa effected by tho oxtcrnal use of less than two oucounco bottles. You aro welcome to mako any uso you please of this letter, and I subscribe myself.—Yours (Signed) JOHN 11.

A Thub Story.—A pale, thin, and anxioui lOoking man went into a druggist's shop in Queen-street, und told tho chemist tho story of his troubles. Ho was a sufferer from a chronic chest, complaint, which inflicted bim with many sleepless nights, owing to the incessant cough. His chest f olt tight and constructed in breathing, and tho tenacious phlegm was a continual source of annoyanceandirritation. He feared'he was consumptive, and that there was not much to bo dono, as ho had tried everything: how ever, as a last rosoureo ho would try Aickin's Syrup ok Eucalyptus, with Hypophos phites ok Lime And Qcinine. Having pro cured a bottle, tbe cheniitt advised him to show it to his medical man, as it was not a quack remedy, but purely a pharmec'utical prepara tion of great value. In addttion, be should ndhere to small doses of pure cod liver oil, which could bo taken at the same time ss tho t-ucalj-ptus and Hypophosphites. A fortnight passed, and tho samopalo, dollcato-looking man returned to the shop in Queon-slreot, and asked for his friend the chemist. Theinvalid then re counted, with a bright eyo and hopeful face, the effects ot tho wonderful medicine. " I soon . found the worrying phlegm becomo moro 1 liquid, and expectoration was quite free, conse quently 1 was relieved from tho dreadful cough. 1 fee! so thankful I can now sleep at nights. . During the day I fool a mountain lifted off my A chest, and I can cat heartily and re*ish my food, which I could never do before,'' Do you think it poasiblo this improvement would have taken place in ordinary course without tho medicine ?—"Certainly not," the invalid replied, "I had suffered too long for that; howevor, i shall tako two bottles more, and report to you furthor." About a fortnight sinoo the same person called upoa thoohemist. Ho was no longer pale nor careworn ; a lingo of healthy rod had returned to the pale features of the now con valescent patient. Ho had meroly to say, "I havo called to tell you that I consider your medicine (tho Eucalyptus with Hypophosphites) has saved my llfo. I feel I am getting better rapidly, and I should toll you that although I havo had remedies prescribed for mo in Sydney, Melbourno, »nd other places, nothing relieved me until I got your medicine. I thank you very much, and will mako its valuo known to every one uU'ect. das 1 wa". I shall note tho address— • Tho Pharmacy,' Queen-street. "— [Advt.] TMifOR TA N T Ii OTI CE. W. K.
