I had been at the Hall in my position a secretary and buiness manager to its owVr6r, Hjuirc Bolton, about a year when I lis only child and heiress came homf from boarding-school. It was madness, and I knew it, from the first monient! I beheld her I fell deeply, hopelessly, in love with beautiful Ger trude BoKon. It was not alone that iu r complexion was dazzling tiair, or ta it her eyes1 were darkly, brightly olue as sapphires, but! it was the ever-, cn.uiging expressions of her -winsome lace that her chief charm lay. But I wni so foolishly blind as not to realize that it was of small lso for me, a poor .d i etary, to aspire to the hand of one so far ahovetifm'in wealth and position as t lie heiress of Bolton Hall. So 1 hid ; my feelings deep down in my neart. and laid a firm j seal upon my lips. . '. j ':' . v. It Was surprising what a changed place theHall wa, now that the young n list less had the helm. Even my kind old friend seemed to have taken ,a new -lease of youth as he entered with interest into all the gayeties winch his daughter planned.

So it was thdt hardly a day passetl with my being thrown inta his daughter's society, and before long we became very good friends" f s I t never seemed to enter the Squire's mind that there could be no danger of my losing niy hoart tollus "daughter, so he could not kabw what a sharp t winge his words caused ine, when on day he told me confidentially hi plans for Gertrude, . I - The next' estate, to 6 Bolton, a large and valuable property, belonged to a . young nobleman, who had gone abroad soon after suceeding I his. inheritance. His return home was expected before very long.. ; . "You see Ralph," said the Smire, "what a giiQd, thing It would be.

It was Lord "Aul rey, unci my Jieart san k to zero as I saw the lo Ic of .s r- j prised admiration whi;Ii filled : hi.. eys as. they rested upon my co:i;par. ion. Hut in spite of myself I could not help ackhowledgirs th-.it the old squire cold not: have picked out a more suitable natch lor his daughter, as far as Aearanee.s went. Astb'- afternoon progressed, I over heard many a smiling comhient upon Lord Aubrev's attentions to Missliol-' ton. . After that Lord Aubrey was a fre quent visitor at the. Hall, and it was no surj)rise to her friends when it was known that Gertrude and he were en gaged. But 1 was puzzled. Gertrude did not seem like a maiden in love. Iler fair,- proud face, never lost its calm or Hushed with pleasure at Lord Aubrey's coining, and to me, .knowing her enthusiastic temperament, her manner -seemed very strange. But the s(iuire was well pleased, and I had no right to interfere or speak what was my mind. , One afternoon 'Gertrude ' had been out for a walk, and as she was return ing Iwme I had." overtaken, her. As we were leisurely strolling 'homeward together, a short, dark-vissaged ; "man reigned his horse by my 'side and ask- ed me to tell him the v. av to Bolton Hall. ':Vhat a sinister face!" Gertrude ex claimed. "Lwonder what he can want at the Hall." ' We soon learned who he was, and j - . what was his errand. On our arrival, the old butler, who had grown gray iu j his master's service, im us with a pale agitated face. 1 j "Why, Henry what is the matter?" asked Gertrude. ' - But Henry was evidently unable to speak, and fearing something -'had hapjiencd to the Squire, we both hur ried to the library. The squire was seated at his table, while beside him, with an "evil smile upon his face, was the stranger whom we had recently met. Gertrude flew to her father's side. .. "Dear papa, what has happened? Why, do you look so strangely?" The old gentleman drew her to him. "I have something to tell you which will surprise you very much," he be gan, in trembling tones. "Xo stay- Ralph, it is no secret," he .continued, as I turned to leave the room. Then the old squire told us in a few words that he was no longer the. own er of the Hall, which he had so long loved and looked upon as own, for the son (of whose existence no one had hitherto known) of his clde.-t brother, who had died many years ago in In dia, I had 'returned and claimed his rights, bringing proofs concerning which there could be no dispute. . While he spoke, varied emotions! tiassed raoidlv over Gertrude's ex- 1 ' . . pres ivefaee.; hen he hau linished! she wound her young arn round his neck. "And is that all, dear papa?" "All? Gertrude, you do not under stand ! "Oh yes I lo," she interupted; you mean that we are no longer rich that I am not the heiress of the Hall. But papa, what matters anything like that? We have each other left."

As I read, the indignation which filled my heart burst from my lips. , Gertrude laid her little hand upon my arm. : "Do? not sorrow for "me, Ralph,'? she said; ".it was only '.because I saw that my dear father's heart was set so fer vently upon my becoming Lord Au brey's wife that I consented to betroth myself to him. I have seen f r some time what a selfish nature his elegant exterior hides, and 1 knew -when he heard of my change 1 fortunes ho w it j would end. I am glad of my re lease." To this moment I cannot tell how I yielded to the impulse, or how I al- lowed myself to disc lose the secret 1 had guarded so successfully; but then and there: I poured forth the story of my faithful love, and though surprised and startled, Gertrude was not offend ed. I will not stop to relate how at length I succeeded in w inning Ger trude's heart. It was a rapturous, never-to-be-forgotten moment when the beautiful head of my darling nestled itself close to iny breast, as in low, soft tones she whispered the as surance that made me the happiest man in existence. - Thus did kind fortune reward my patient ..waiting by bestowing upon me tne rich boon of the affection of her whom I had loved when rich and 1 an heiress, but who was even dearer to me in her altered circumstances.

One of the mast elaborate Chinese funerals that New York,has seen, oc curred Sunday. It was that of Con Luito, who kept a laundry at Xo. 271 First avenue, and who died last Thursday of paralysis of the heart. 1 le is said' to have been the first - member of the Chinese Lodge of Free Masons to died in this city.' The funeral start ed from Xo. Eighteen Mott street and attracted a crowd of several thousand persons. First in the pro cession came a stage containing a Chi nese band; next came the hearse; and following it were forty carriages, and several hundred chinamen. On -the way to Evergreen Cemetery mock money was scattered in the street to attract the attention of the devil, it being calculated that he' will stop to pick up the money and be delayed, so that the burial can take place without interference from him. At the ceme tery the body was quickly hurried; the band with gtngs, horns and eybals played a martial air to cheer the soul of of Con Luito, ami then three candles were thrown 011 a burning pile of joss sticks. This, was the end of the cere mony and with obeisances to the grave the Chinamen went awav. Fitting an Arinyof Snakes. Em.KxsviLm:, X. Y., July 22.
