Celeiia was his pride, his h art's idol, who, upon this occasion carried her fjniee and loveline'W of persnti, with a demeanor t x ,ui-;te!y delightful. She was a favor ite aiiii.n all i-lae.v The lowly of the city wi.rdiipped In r. fur her ptirv was ever open. To the needy she was a friend indeed; and her sweet faeo was a weleouie one in many a household, where grim want had placed its seal, or where sorrow had fallen heavily. This fair ob ject of the people's ;,;cn. -rolls solicitation was nin.-t worlhy of their love, esteem. appreciation; tor, in her heart ot hearts she secretly bewailed the dire opprewioii which had fallen upon them, ever since the stern. roIehtleMS Marino Koliro had as cended tu the throne of the loj;e. His was a grasping nature; never satis fied with the utmost efforts of the classes to please, to fawn upon his royat highness. He inut needs spur them on to still greater cmleavorimjs in his behalf. In euiee. theie wasotf man whom the haughty doge feared Koli. The order of which l-'oli wa.i the h.-ad. had power to cause the dow tu ticinble. The marble wa!ls of the Fuli palace wrrj heavily hung wilh many lined and rich tapestries. . From every side L'rand i.aintim:s from tuaer hands looked down upon the ns-s-mbled iruests. Mtifsio fivmi wiine hid den tiotiree. s.-nt forth its fas inattti strains, tilling the perfumed ttir with iu toxieation. The hatnpiet room was like Mjme rare tropical scene. The two long tables betiding under a gorgeous outlay of riihest viands, culled from oriental clinics and sun kised isles of .southern seas, were arranged along the side walls. The space between the tables were crowded with ex otic plants, whose perfume permeated the air. Among the plants was a sparking fountain, whose water thedu d in the light from waxen candies, falling in sil very showers upon the basin below where gold and silver lih darted to and fro among tiny caves, lung grasses, and spiral sprays of pink eotal. Heated and flushed. after a long turn of the waltz with one of her must ardent admirers, (Vleua took a sciUctcred seal on the balcony. The cat in and gentle seen1 without, seemed to rest her eye;, which were weary of ruhly hedeeked forms and glaring lightt of the ball room. The canal below stretched like a silvery serpent in the di-taiiw. A long-range of lights embrace the water's edge as far as the eye can reach. And. afar off in the distance, the mastive. Cam panile rising from the water of the great St. Mark Stjuare greet her gate. A long, slim gondola crosses the filvery wake, leaving behind a million sparkling, flash ing jewels dancing upon tho water. Ahl she recognize the t'r:o-i!e looking craft. It is (iuido's gondola. Heavens! if h should appear now, what would be the consequences? Such wer her thoughts as she leaned over tho baleouy rail and peered down. And who is Guido? A poor gondolier; her lover 1 At her feet belted knights had sued. Tit highest among the Venetian nobility had wooed Celeua nnd Guido succeeded in winning her heart. The gondolier was poir, humble; his birth was hiden in mystery. For such as he to lift eyes in love to this ruro star, was almost sacrilege. And yet, his sweet voice, soft, brown eyes had touched the maiden's heart as none others had. In the solitude of her chamber sho confessed her love to the I Virgin, whose sweet face beamed duWa upon her from the altar. A low, soft whisper reached her ears. She leaned further over. There just be neath the cornice, clinging to the heavy vines which reacln d to the water, was! iuido. Ills face was upturned. The moonbeams falling upon his features, disclosed the enraptured emotions thrilling his heart, which hniie from his eyes and played about the ii lit it r-. of his mouth. Nearer he draws; and then, reaching hiT hand iInwii, Cclena caresses the long curls which fall about his neck, as her lip-t softly utter, "(iuido, He presses a kiss upon the lily lingers, which sends a thrill through her bring. Then, one mre cltiirt and his head is on a level with hers. Their hps meet in one long kks, whose very touch si-nds a dart of exrpiUte rapture to each heart. Her voice in soft whispers caution him, half re proachfully for this bold, dangerous in trusion. "Ah, Cclena, light of my soul, angel of my heart, reproach me not. I could not sleep, could nut live till morn had I not come.'' Mln-h ! (Iuido, not so loud. The room within contains jealous ears. There is much danger in this meeting; for, if you should be discovered, all, all would he lost." "My love braves all, for one sight of you, darling," he uttered. 'Yes; mid my love is yours. Guido; but we must use the utmost caution," she whimpered. "And will it ever have to be caution, dearest? What will be the cud- the re sult?" '( Hi, (Iuido, what in' be the result?" And then ere further words were pokcn, a rude hand tore the curtain aside and Foil glared upon the lovers. 'Furies! a man! Cclena, child, what means this ?'' Hefore the terrified girl could speak, the balcony was crowded with guests, drawn there by the loud, angry words of Foli. Guido was a man, and his henrt was bursting wilh anxiety, now that he knew their love was no longer secret. What I would Foli think? What would the haughty uohles think, who bent upon him looks of hatred and scorn? He drew himself up over the balcony and was nude prisoner in an instant. "One word. Seigm-r," uttered he, as the men were about to drag him away. 'Not a Word! Away with him ! On the morrow the Council sits," thundered the enraged father. A shudder passed through (Ylciia's form. She knew what the result W"iild be. A life -lou imprisonment or the axe ! Wheti the morning sun rose, all Von jiv was wild with the news. Celen.i, daughter of the stem Chief of the Council, loved a nameless waif, a com mon gondolier. The proud nobles who had sue ! fur her hand were mail with rage. Their love had been scorned. With all the wealth and distinction belonging to their class, tln-y were not able to move the fair one's heart, the rarest maiden Venice. With the power which Foli possessed it was an easy matter to trump up some charge against the young man, whose only crime hail neen to Uare to Iitt hts eyes in love to f.iir Cclena. The workings of the mysterious coun cil of ten are beyond th; itower of the uuNide world to reason against or gii'msiy More crimes than one have been done by this orth r, whose very name caused the highet in the city to tremble. Condemned to imprisonment for life- Fur what? Conspiracy against the gov ernment. No man was ever less j;uiltv but, the pride of the chief is outraged, d he must be appealed. Guido stepped upon the Ihide of iiihs. I hruimh the small window tm unbuilt streamed. Ah, how his ?ad .yes dwell upon the scene before him Then reached afar the canal over wh rippling waL r he had so often guided his gondola. There hung the golden sun, I whose beams scent to mock him in his ' ry. Never again could he hope to upon the glories of earth, of water, or dunk into his very wml the sunlight. He turned from the caseim-nt, and a long-drawn sigh welled from his bosom. The cruel walls too!; up the echoes, and tossed thorn to an I fro like melancholy whisperings of death dirges. Pown, down into the chill depths of the jri-'oti he vv.u conveyed. He was thrust into n narrow, ill-smelling cell. The guards passed out and the iron door clanged shut, and Guido was burial i!rr CelenaV maid called her; no respoiuc; all was silent as death within her chamber. The door was burst open nnd there upon lkr knees her hands folded over her breast, her head bowed upon tho altar where the sweet face of the Virgin beamed, was Cclena dead ! ller heart bad broken. Her love had been her very life. The nbject of her pure affection was doomed to a living death by the. unjust decree of the council. Life bad no further joys for her bruised heart; and thus, with bowed head, lips uttering prayers, she died in the presence of her saint. Five years pass, and one morning the servant handed a note to Miguel Foli, whirh read briefly as follows: M mi kl Foi.i : I desire an interview. 1 VMIHNfOt, l'rinee of Carina. "Show the gentleman in," said Foli after glancing at the note. The door opened, and a handsome, richly-dressed man of "u or .V years of age entered. Ills lueiu is iiohlc and courtly; and his face "My God! Where have 1 lint you be fore?" ejaculated Foli, starting back in irma.enieut as his eyes fell upon thi ol In r's face. "Met me ?" returned the Criuee. "You have never met me, 1 think. Why do you ask ?'' "Your face seems familiar to me. I low ever, it may have been only a passing fancy," uttered Foli, recovering his com posure. "IVrhaps the resemblance will assist me in solving a great mystery," said the l'rinee. "Take a seat, l'rinee; now, what can 1 do for you?" asked Fob, seating him self opposite. "Perhaps nothing; perhaps much. lo you happen to know of a certain gondo lier by the name of Guido?" That name ! Celeiia's humble lover. The man doomed to a living death by the decree of the council, Miguel Foli rose from his chair and sternly asked : ''What if I fo know of this (iuido?" "What if you do? Well, you will, I trut, give me some explanation concern ing bi present location." "First tell me, who is Guido?" asked l-'oli. ' Willi all my heart," assented the Prince. "He is the sou of noble par entage, abducted when but a babe from his home by Greek brigands. No trace has ever been discovered of him, until some five years ago, a gentleman who is intimately acquainted with his family, met a gondolier here in Venice, whose face re sembles the family likeness " "And (iuido is not his name ?" "No; he is a nobleman with royal lood in his Veins. He is tit to wed the lughter of a king," proudly responded the Prince, rising. Who who are his parents?'' huskily ;tskcd Fob. I am his father, Prince of Pinna. His mother is the sifter of Marino Foliro. dge of cilice." A weak, gaunt man with lung, tangled hair ami strairgliti'' beard was led from loatht'soiiie dungeon. From his eyes nil light of reason had fled. Five years of solitude of a living death in tic damp lark deplhs of the Venetian prioii, had wrecked his mind. The sorrow-stricken father returned to Parma with his son, now an alien of diattercd humanity. Thus had Miguel Foli's miserable pride iccoinplMied its Work; thus had the de iTee of the terrible council plunged a bright and happy nature into everlasting gloom, and sent oue of F.ve's fairest laughters to her God before her lime. critical rr.moos in ;na i n i:. riu: por.T immicst.

A few days ago they loaded their shotguns with fine shot and went out in tin- win id near their house to shoot two rabbits they had seen there. The bro thers separated in the woods and bunted along a bundled yards apart. They had gone a quarter of a mile or so when Frank heard Joseph veiling tor help at the top of his lungs. Frank hurried in the tli-j recti oil of the cries and did not reach the spot a moment too soon. A big she bear 1 had Joseph down in the snow, and was wrestling him aioiind so lively that his clothes were already turn to tatters, and his flesh was in a fair way to be used ill the same manner. With a shout Frank jumped into the space where the one -sided tight was going on. His appearance startled the bear, and she hastily reheated behind the upturned roots o a ( illen tive. ami disappeared in a big hole in the ground. "I jumped on that tree trunk about three minutes ago to take a look around,'' said Joseph when he had got enough breath back to talk, "and 1 heard a I'umiv sort of a squeal somewhere about the roots I of lh. tree. I stepped Up to see what was making the noise ami discovered that hole in the ground. I got down mi my bauds and knees to examine the hole, when, with a roar like a mad bull, that big bear came bouncing out of the hole. 1 wasn't looking for bears, and 1 raised up about as qui. k as any living thing ever moved, and turned to run, 1 hadn't tak' ii two steps when the bear lit square on my back, and sker r-a-sb! Went the whole back part of my clothes as if they bad been ripped oil by a stroke uf lightning, and away 1 went, flat us a pancake, tm feet away. My gun flew as much further tu anothei direction, and I began to hol loa like a stu k pi:;. It.'l'ore 1 could get on my feet the hear was ou top of me again, and I was putting in mv best licks to keep her troiu getting tier paws arounn me again when voii came up. i ou can see by the way things arc torn up aroiim here that if the interview I had with that bear wasn't warm and lively, then there never Wits a lively three minutes spent with a bear before. That bear's got a family id' cubs in her den. and that's what ails her." Charging both bands of his gun with heavy shot, JoM-ph's brother Frank ap proached the hole in the ground where the bear had entered. When he was with in ten feet of it the hear rushed out to meet bun. Frank shot her with both barrels, and she tell dead. The two incli then searched the den and found three cubs, which could not have Ih'CH more than a day or two old. They were the sizi! of Newfoundland puppie The bro titers dragged the carcass of the old bear to the village, and carried the cubs in their arms. The cubs whined piteotisly for a day or two, mid then became reconciled to their strange surroundings, and now they follow their captors about the streets like dos.
