Left at the Iloor.
UY MRS. M. A. rio..io.v.
" Left at the door!"
No wonder my frame grew thill no won
der my pulses fluttered. Here was I, a proud
they said beautiful girl, jus stepping
out the rosy threshold ol my sixteenth sum
mer, glowing, palpitating with the very love
of life my soul unutterably glad only to
meet the dew and the Sowers of the morn
ing only to greet the lavish golden gifti. of
the saushtne - only to bear one'trill of the
sweet summer birds that piped niyeyelids
open witb the first white shimmering dawn
ol day : and tho:.e were the words that full
on my ear.
They did not know thst I was iborr.thn
Ten, pled by the unusually mellow beauty
of the twilight, I bad strolled over to the
parsonage, first going round by Terracd
Heights, to catch oue glimpse of Judge
Ilouhten's beautiful garden. The sinking
day letiii rne bars ol light over ttie pretty,
little study floor. I bad crept iu unobserved
thinking to catch my dear minister napping
cr reading, but the room was empty, and
turning, I was moving away as silently as I
came, when I beard my name mentioned.
' What, Kstelle Eve reti,!"
The tone, not the words merely struck me
dill as a statue. I could not tike auother
step.
" Yhy !" and this was the housekeeper
' did ti t you know it? Is it possible, and
you an old resident? Estelie Eeerett don't
belong to them why! bless j ou, shu was left
at the door."
Oh ! ihe tide of anguish tlat swept over
tne then! I wonder it did not strike uie
dead. Sometimes a faint consciousness of
that feeling avtacks me when sorrow or sur
prise come suddenly, and I gasp, totter, al
most fall, but it is nothing to the utter misery
of those terrible words, " left at the door 1"
Who then was I ? Not the child of that
cherished mother not tho daughter of the
man I lored as my father, almost to idola
tory. Uh I tiie icy brim of the cup of sor
row chilled hit lips; its drsught froze my
heart 1 How 1 got borne I never knew, but
I found myself iu my own beautiful little j
chamber, iu a strange, yet a frenzied sileucc
dumb because there was not ths strvujjtb
to ail out my anguish.
That night I oh I that night ! Even now I
wish olten to forget it, for its reco'lectiou is
the darkest spot on my life I have been face
to face with ileath, since then ; I have buried
those I loved, but my sorrow was as joy com
pared to ibe intense aud awful agony that
reigned iu my soul.
'Ihe next diy I was as white as marble.
I seemed changed, soul and body. He, my
father, the beautiful Mrs. Everett, my moth
er, cams, both to my room, lavished cares
ses upon me declared I waa ill ; but I would
not tell them what 1 had heard. It seemed
to me thiit if I spoke of it my heart would
burst.
For that day and another night I brood
ed over my fearful secret. Then my bauds,
my foet, my brow grew oid, and 1 thought
I was djiog. I begged I lie in to aeud for
my minister he came, sml, aa I requested
it, they left me alone witb him.
" My lamb w hy is this ? You are very
ill '." b said, with alarm.
" Y'rs I am dying," waa my reply, " and
before the change comes, which I am sure
is near, I wish to ask you if it is indeed
true, that I am not the child of Mr. and
Mrs. Everett."
" My Ismb my poor, dear Stella," he
said, tenderly, stooping down so that bis
while locks touched my faco "is it this
thst is killing you? How did you hear?
Who has been so rude, so wantouly cruel ?''
I told him faintly whst I heard.
"My suffering little daughter!" be said
again in pitying accents, " let me relieve
your mind at once of all iho apprehensions
that must darken it. I know the whole sto
ry from beginning to end ; I am aware boar
tenderly my friends love you. I am sorry
for your sake but far more for theirs that
you have been made aware of the circum
stances. Yet do not tremble so, my child. I
have seen your own mother, ob ! how often.
Her little hand, when fair with the dimple
of childhood, and in early youtb, has often
rested in mine. She grew op moat lovely,
but so sensitive, so spiritual I Now listen
1 aud bo very calm. Your mother was tbo

The wager was accepted, and the piece of

distance from the spot, M. Duiuont called
to his dog that be had lost something, and
ordered him to srek it. Cotiiche immedi
ately turned back and bis master and bis
compsuiou puisued their walk to the Rue

into the iun, aud stuck close to the traveler
Having scented out the coin which he
had beeu ordered to bring back, in the
pocket of the stranger, he leaped up iuces
sautly at and about biiu.
The traveler, supposing biin to be some
dog that bad been lost ur left behind by hia
master, regarded his different movements as
marks of fonduess, and as the animal was
baudsotue he determined to keep him. He
gave him a good supper, and on retiring to
bed ho took biiu with him to his chamber,
No sooner had he pulled off bis breeches
than they were seized by the dog. The
owner, couceiviug that the dog wautcd to
play with them, took them away.
The dog begau to bark at the door,
which the traveler opened, under the idea
that the dog wanted to go out.
Couiche snatched up the breeches, and
tway he flew. The traveler posted aftor
him with his night cap on, and literally satis

Anxiety for the fate of a purse full of gold
Napoleons, of forty francs each, which was
in oue of the pockets, gave redoubled ve
locity to his stepa. Couiche ran full speed
to bis master'! house, where the stranger
arrived a few momenta afterwards, breath
less and enrsged.

" Sir,"said the master, " my dog is a very
faithful creature; aud if be has run away
witb your breeches, you have money iu them
which does not belong to you."
The traveler became still more exas

other, smiling ; "without doubt there is in
your purs a six livre piece, with certain
marks, which you have picked up in the
Doulevsrd St. Antoiue, and which I threw
down with t be firm conviction that my dog
would bring it back again. This is the
cause of the robbery which he has commit

The stranger's rage now yielded to aston

the cwuir, and could not forbear caressing
the dog which had given him so much un
