These disjointed-isentennes were- uttered by a tall, jaded man} who perturbedly walked up and 4bwn the darkest side of a large and gLoomy room. ,-Hie! might be about forty years of age ; his- proftise black hair hung dowrj'imlarge locks each side of his face.— His make was muscular, yet graceful, his motion easy and -tafher haughty. .Indeed, his whole appearaflce denoted nim to be a gentleman, at'qnce by hig birth, association and natural perception of honor. Ilia faded dress consisted of a short mantle of black cloth folded over his chest, wiih pantaloons of the same color,.'and boots of tie full and beautiful make of ihis age and country, though they partook of the dinginess which characterized therest-of bis costume.
" There—there'-i—again he has ndden by ; it is the third day ;1'- and he-cast his eyes towards'a lovely girl, whose noble countenance was slightly flushed. '
"Dares he—villain—dares he?'1 and he caught up his tapier that was lying on a rickety table. ,
"Calonne, you are not' well, my love, lie down \ you have had rio'^eep so long, you arefsverish.: lje down, love." It was his wife whq .'thus spoke, aj Woman apparently but little yoqnger.than;himself. Her figure had naturally inclined to a little roundness, bnt "Was now' sOnieWh'at attenuated'; .her bright brown bair«'slightly intersected' here and there withagreyisweak, was pnrted'on her forehead, and tiqd rqund with a. band, according to the becoming fashion of thejime. Her face'was ria'le'; but full of magnanimity: her'eyes large''a'nd^lu*!; ber nose straight and short t Jho nostnls^i(so expressive a part qf ,tbe ^0U0te,0P0(!e,)i:fulJ of sweetness and lofty sentiment. Her laj^ire was of. ,the coarsest, .brown clp(h ofethe country: but, either from the t^st^ "with which it was made up, or the inherent beauty oT the wearer's, figure, it formed a drapery full of graceful lines.
Such was Madam Calohne, the younger daughter of a noble family of Navarre, and mother of children, .ivorthy, in disposition and appearance, of s^.ch parents. When she addressed her husband, the sternness of his countenance relaxed, a flood of different feelings rushed on "him, manliness almost gave way; while, covering his eyes with one hand, and almost pressing his fingers over them, (whilst.with the other he grasped that, of his wi'fe,) he seemed to have a violent effort tojestrain his tears. At length turning away from her, and taking down his deep slouched hat, he passed out of the room.— No sdbner was he beyond hearing, than Madatrj'e Calonne, casting herself in a chair, gave'vjiay to her no longer repressible emotion. . Jer eldest daughter immediately set down tbje. work in which she had sdemed IO be en't'iKely absorbed, and tearing open her mother^ kerchief, desired Jaqucs to pour out a glasp of waieivwhicb he did, from a large'it|6ne pitcher that stood in the coiner of th'^ir Jll-furnished apartmebt. Having, drank sitrie of it, she almost directly revived. . ' ' 'It is nothing, love." said she to her daughter; " I don't know'Horw"i{ is, but I get strangely weak." " My father," replied the afl'ectip.ijate girl, "wants rest; perhaps Bella and liliristian may bring some news from Monmdr!Lien, the notary; they must retoru soon; d)) have a little wine; indeed it is necessary." " Do Mamma," added Jaqties, a fine genreel lookiii§'"Bpy of eleven ; and ere he scarcely had gOt -the words out of his mouth, be stood with a little narrow-necked bottle, and a long-shanked, prim-looUing glass, in the aot.to pour Out; 'Madame Calonne declined, knowing it fq be all there was,- and desired Jaques'to put ii up aga'm, who moved witib none of the alacrity fie had shown in getting U. : . .,•'
Mpni. Calouue, or more, properly the Sienr Calonne, was the third son of a noble family of Navarre, who early chose the profession of arms/lidrf drew Bis Bwoi"d for the Bourbons and .the. Huguenots',. ..The destruction of that, cp^ii'ederumy., on ibp assumption of the Regency by;.yatheriue Me-diefs, is' a matter oil' history. ' Calonne's small fortune was'dissipated by his military levies and exploits, and'ly the increase of his family. He had now removed tp.Paris, in order to carry on a lawsuit for the'recov-ery of some firopetfiy of his lady, whlcfh held out the only chance, oif.suppnrjt left to them.

Recovering bim-seJf, however, he said, " Gd home, m'y dears; tell your mother I shall return directly."
" And what does Monsieur Lien say, papa?"
"Christian, we" have no hope there—the judges have decided against us—tell Helene aside, and bid her break it to your mother." The boy burst into tears.
" Go, go home, my children, Christian, be n man—dry your eyes."
"I will—*! do; but you'll also come soon?" " Directly; but it is best you should go
first. Go loves, go." The children proceeded.
The poor man unconsciously leant his head agains; tbo balustrade of the bridge, and, dead to every thing around^ was engrossed by the most dreadful considerations, Thot's unconnected, yet all equally dismal, rushed through his mind. The long vista of futurity developed' itself; and he saw life consumed in struggles—existence preserved at the expettse of unceasing effort. He saw the elegant, the refined, the noble-minded woman whom.he adored, worn down with anxiety, privation and.everlasting endurance; his daughter Helens, his lovely, exalted daughter, doomed' to have every natural emotion destfoyed, or to be exposed to insults aiid villainy; his other children degraded from their rank, and condemned to a mean and Sprdid path of life.
His pride w.as now touched ; he started, and-stamped with violence; the contumely of the rich, the insolence of the successful, rose to his imagination—the paths of re-nowni he knew were occupied by the possessors jof wealth. The idea of the compassion of the ftoarse maddened him—the familiar friendship of the vulgar he scorned. It is but jiustioe to say, these selfish feelings were tniusient-^-th<s|»vreichedness of the beings he lived in and for, occasioned (he. Chief piings that convulsed bis soul. " It is no longer the future that is to be considered," exclaimed he; " it is the present—now—even now—they want bread ! '<! will end it!" In the madness o>f the moment he made a rua.li, as if to overleap the balustrade ! but his arm was qaught by the grasp of a rough hand, which ro.use.d |um from his hallucination ; habit immediately resumed its sway, and petty anger at an apparent rudeness occupied .asouF, which, the moment before, merged every faculty in the strongest throes.
" Your pardon, Monsigneur." " What was your business?" said Calonne.
"Do.I Ijnow you 1" " Not that I am aware of, Monsigneur,"
said the stranger, who was n stout muscular man, enveloped in an ample cloak.
" Your business rbeii, sir—" " I s perhaps of as much importance to
you, Moiise^gncij|r, as to me; and if you will favor me wifh a few: moments attention, you will not perchance regret it."
Calonne inquired, "What is the hour?" for he had lost all calculation of time, in the rapidity and strong current of bis ideas.
" It must bo near eight, for the- sun has' long since set."
'• Be quick then, sir, in your narration. I know not indeed,.why 1 stay to listen to it,
! save that it matters little what I do ; trifle not with me—for I am almost desperate."
" 1 know it." Calonne started. " Bnt had we not best proceed, Mooseign-
eur]—these are troblesome tiroes ; and if noticed coul'eiring here—especially as we are boih Huguenots, it may be dangerous.
Monsieur Calonne eyed his companion for the first tirne with a scrutinizing glance, but obtained"little satisfaction. The large folds of his cloak, the broad hat slouching' over his eyes, and the dusikiiess effectually
him: he said, " 1 do not know

asked, " Shall we walk, Monseigneur.'" " I attend \ou." Leaving the bridge, they turned down
one of those* narrow streets that lead to the Pre-aux-Cleres, and all around* soon became silent. The houses are large and massive, and the common doors stood open in the manner of our chambers in ions of courts. The stillness was only occasionally interrupted By the nimble pushing up «f a window, and the cry of " Card' de f eoit," which was simultaneous with a splash in the strett, a warning neqrly,useless any jvb,ere, in the manner in whieh.it- was given, but, almost wholly so in J>be?e remote and,Mofre,~ quonted streets.

The speaker here hesitated, and looked as fjf expecting Calonne to interrupt bim. They
were both speechless; at length, after a long pause, catching hold of hi3 arm, Calonne gasped in a hoarse voice,—" The sum !"
" Ten thousand crowns." "Could it be known?"
. " As we Shall manage, never." " Who are you ?" " A friend, and agent of Madame Logere,
to whom I would introduce you." "Take me to her." , The agent made no reply, buf walked on
rapidly, while Monsieur Giloone followed, muttering to himself, "But a little while ago, I would have destroyed life; and now I hesitate, when it will give them all they want-competence—safety; yet to part—to part— Amelie—Helene! Ten thousand crowns! Yes!—-they could return to Navarre, re-purchase the chateau; and spend their days peacefully. It shall be so ; what is life with poverty ? to die now, or ajiltte while hence, what difference ] None! * None!" .
The stranger proceeded rapidly and silently, and had threaded many dingy streets, when he stopped, turned under a low archway, crossed a little quadrangle, and passed up onesideof a flight ofsteps that led to the principal entrance of a large ^dilapidated house. The door stood half open, and they entered into a mnible'-'hall, on one side of which was a broad oak staircase. The stranger made a motion to speak, but checking himself, proceeded. At the head of the se-* cond Bigbt, jhey came to a landing place, on which' were several doors. The stranger opened one add they- "entered a small anteroom. * t
",WH1 you wait but a feW seconds here ? in that room is Madame Logere."
Calonne bowed assent. .The stranger or agent, (who was a confidential friend and partizarr of Logere, of the name of Maeon,) went into the inner apartment. As ho opened the door wide, as if by design, Calonne's eye involuntarily penetrated the further room ; at the other end, by the light of two] tail wax candles, he saw a female, kneeling, her head buried in her bftnds.. She' appeared not to have been roused by the entrance of Macon, who, having closed the door, Calonne judged, by a sharp exclamation he heard, that it was not until touched by'Ma-coo, she knew a second person was present. He couLd scarcely have spoken to her, before Calonne heard, another shriek.of a different expression, and Macon re-opening the door, said, "Monseigneur, excuse this watting : will you enter ?"
Calonne did so. He, had not got five steps across the broad room ere Madame Logere, pale as a corpse, and with a wildness that destroyed all'thoughts of decorum, rushed vtv U'wn, -and had he not caught her, would have fallen' to :the floor. She exclaimed, "You will save him, you consent! Tbe great God bless yoti! Take all, all, but save bim, save biml'l
Monsieur Calonne -tottered ; he thought how his wife would suffgr. Macon saw the • state of both, and the tears rolled down his rjigged face. He took Madam JLogere in his arms and- placed her in her cliair. Calonne too sat down, leaning bis elbow on' his knee and his forehead on his band. They were for stime time, mute, with the exception of the • hysterical sobbing of Madam Logere. which' having subsided, " Your pardon, Monseigneur," she 'said at length; " I am lost to all generosity: I kno* i t : but my passion for my husband overpowers every thing."
Macon interposed, " Monseigneur," said he, " must be aware, what we offer is from selfishness; Lngere is all to us, and we would even sacrifice the noblest man to save him ; we must treat this but ns a bargain, or we are lost. Here are the title-deeds, Mon-seigdenr, of an estate worth upwards of ten thousand crowns; and here are a thousand livres to tnk'e possession with."
" I accept them," rejoined Calonne, " I will die. I bind myselt to this by every lie divine and human." Calonne spoke in the wildest yet mo3t solemn tone; the elevation and excitement be was under seemed to conquer all earthly panicles.and his figure shone, as it were, with the mantling feelings that possessed him. He stood fur a moment like a siatue. His face was raised upwards ; his aim stretched forward; and his thin, transparent hand clenched almost convulsively.— Relaxing his hand and dropping his arm involuntarily, he continued : " Now let me know the particulars; be as brief as you can, if you please; speak not one unnecessary
.word.*' Macon immediately replied: " T h e like
ness between you, and L^geje is most.extraordinary. His friends are allowed entrance to him : you wii) exchange garments and, he, wflY leave the country." „
' " And I the world !" rejoined, Cplpnper with a hiadtaujjjr./ ,, . ., ',..-,
