A PSItllOUS JOUSSEY.
What I have—wife, posilion, indepen- cienoe—I oire to an opportunity for c^er- cljiag the Tcry simple .ind unpretending oombination of qualities thafgo^a by tho namo of ability.   But to my story.
Jly father was a wealthy country gen¬ tloman, of somewhat more than the aver¬ age of intelligence, aad somewhat more than tho averago of generosity and ex¬ travagance. His younger brother, a so¬ licitor in large practice in London, would i'l vain remonstrate as to the imprudence of his courso. Giving freely, spending freely, must como to an end. It did ; and at twenty I was a well-educated gen¬ tlemanly pauper. The investigation of my father's aflairs showed that there^ was one shilling and sixpence in the pound fo;- the whole of his creditors, and of course nothing for me.
Tho position was painful. I was half engaged—that is, I had gloves, flowers, a ringlels.a carte de visite ot Alice Jloiton. Tiiat, of course, must be stopped.
Mr. Silas Morton was not ill pleased at tlie prospect ofan alliance with his neigb- hor iVcstwood's son while there was an expectation of a provision for tho young cpjpla in the union of estates as well as persons: but now, when the estate was gone, when  I, Guy Westirood, was shill- ingless in the "Vorld, it would bo folly in¬ deed.    Neverlheless   I  must  take my loave. *   " 'Well, Guy, my lad, bad job this; very bad joh ; thought ho was. safe as the bank. AVould not havo believed it from any one —not from any one.   Of course all that nonsense about you and Alice must bo stopped now;   I'm not a hard man,  but I can't allow Alice to throw away her life in the poverty she would have to bear as your wife; dan'tdoit;  wpuldn't be the p.art ot a father if I did." I suggested I might in timo. " Timo, sir I time!   How mueh ? She's nineteen now.   You're  brought up to nothing;   know nothing that will earn you a sixpence for the next six months, and you lalk about time,   time, indeed 1 keep her w.".iting till she'a thirty, and tben break her heart by finding it a folly to marry at all."
" Ah! ,\lioe, my dear, Guy's  come to s:-.y 'Goodbye ;* ho sees, with me, that his li   altered position compels him, as an hon¬ orable man, to give up any hopes he may have formed as to the future."
lie left us alone to say ' Farewell 1'—a v.-ord loo hard to say at our ages. Of course wc consulted what should bs done. Tu give each olher up, to bury tho delic¬ ious past, that, was not to be thought of. Wo would be constant, spile of all. I must gain a posilion and papa would then holp us.
Two ways were open: a oommission in
India,  a place in my uncle's   office.	
AFhich ? I was for tho commission, Alice for the oflice. A respectable influential solicitor; a position not to be despised; nolhing but cleverness wanted; and my uncle's name, and no ono to wait for; no liver complaints ; no Sepoys; no sea voy- p   ages; and no long separation.
"Oh, I'm sure it is the best thing." I agreed, agreed, not unnaturally then that it was the best.
"JTow, you young people, you'vU had time enough to say ' Goodbye,' so be off, Guy. Uerc, my had you'll need something to start with," and the old gentleman put iuto my hands a nole for fifty pounds.
" I must beg, sir, that you will not in¬ sult "
" God bless the. hoy! ' Insult.' Why I've danced you on my knee hundreds of limes. Look you Guy"_and the old fel¬ low came up and put his hand on my shoulder—" It gives me pain to do what I am doing. I believe, for both our sakes It is best you should part. Let us part friends. Come now, Guy, you'U need this, and ifyou needa little more let me know." '
"But sir you cut me off from all hope
yourendermylifeaburdentome.   Give
>     mo sime definite task; say how mnch you
think we ought to have; I mean how
muoh X ctight to have to keep Alioe-I
mean, Miss Morton—in suoh a position as you would wish."
Alice added her entreaties, and the re¬ sult of the conference was an understand¬ ing thatif within five years from that dato I could show I w^s worth five hundred pounds a j'ear the old gentleman would add onother five hundred pounds; and on that he thought we might live for a fow years comfortably.
There was to be no correspondence whatever; no meetings, no messages. — We protested and pleaded, and finally he said:
"Well, well, Guy; I always liked you, and liked your father before you. Come to us on Christmas Day, and you shall find a vacant chair besido Alice. There, now ; say 'Goodbye,' and be off."
I went off. I came to Loiidon, to one of the liltle lanes leadine out of Cannon street. Five hundred a year in five years'; I must work hard.
My undo took notice of ma; I fancied worked me harder lhan the rest, and paid mo the same. Seventy-five pounds a year is not a Large sum. I had spent it in a mouth befm'O now, after the fashion of my faiher ; now I hoarded; made clothes last; ate in musty, cheap, little cook- shops; and kept my enjoying faculties from absolute rust by a weekly half-price ticket to the theatres—tho pit.
The year passed. I went down at Christ¬ mas, and for twenty-four hours was alive; came back, and had a rise of twentj^ pounda in salary for tha next year. I waSJe^or opportunity, and it cawe^not.
This jog-trot routine of office-work con¬ tinued for two years more, and at the end of that time I was worth but my salary of one hundred and thirty-fivs pounds per year—one hundred and thirty-fivo pounds! a long way from five hundred pounds.— Oh, foropportunity! I must qu it the desk, and become a merchant; all successful men have been merchants; mo ney begets money. But to oppose all thes o thoughta of change camo the memory of Alice's last words at Christmas: "Wait and hope, Guy, dear, wait and hope." Certainly; it's so easy to.
"Governor wants you, Westwood. He's sharp this morning; very sharp; so look out, my dear nephy."
"You understand a little Italian,  1 think?" said my uncle. " A little, sir."
" You will start to-night for Florenoe, in the mail train. Get there as rapidly as possible, and fiud whether a Colonel Wil¬ son is residing there, and what lady he is residing with. Learn all you can as to j*i3 position aud means, and the terms on whie he lives with that lady. Write to me, and wait thero for further instruc¬ tions. Mr. Williams will give yoa a check for ono hundred pounds ; you can ge' circular noles for fifty pounds, and the rest cash. If you havo auything to sa}', come in hero at five o'clock ; if not, good morning. By the by, say nothiug in the office."
I need not say that hope made me bo¬ liove my opportunity was come.
I hurried to Florence, and discharged my mission; sent home a careful letter, full of facts without comment or opinion, and in threo weeks' limo was summoned to return. I had done little or nothing that could help me, and in a disappointed state of mind I paoked up and went to the railway station at St. Dominico. A little row with a peasant as to his demand for carrying my baggage caused mo to loso the last train that night, and so the stea¬ mer at Leghorn. Tho station-master, see¬ ing my vexation," endeavored to console me.
" Tbere will be a special through train to Leghorn at nino o'clock, ordered for Count Spezzaty; ho is good-natured, .and will possibly let you go in that."
It w.as worth tho chance, aud I hung about the station till I was tired, and then walked back towards the village. Passing a small wine shop, I entered, and asked for wine in Euglish. I don't know what whim|pos5essed mo when I did it, for they were unable to understand me without dumb motions. I at length got wino by these means, and sat down to while away the time over a railway volume.
I had been seated about half an hour when a courier eutered, accompanied by a railway guard. Two mora different e.x- amples of tho human r.ico it would bo difficult to describe.   '
The guard was a dark, s-avaga looking Italian, with " rascal" and " bully" writ¬ ten .all over him; big, black, burly, with bloodshot ey es, and thick, heavy, sensual lips, tho man was utterly repulsive.
The courier was a littlo, neatly-dressed man, of no age- in particular; pale, blue I eyed, straight lipped, his faca was a com¬ pound of fox and rabbit that only a fool ora patriot would have trusted out of arm's length.
This ill-matched pair called for brandy, and the hostess set it before them. I then heard them asfc who and what Iwas. She replied, I must be a an Englishman, and did not understand the llalian for wine.   She then left.
They evidently wanted to be alone, and my presence was decidedly disagree¬ able to them: and muttering tbat I was an EDglishman, they proceeded to try my powers as a linguist.
The courier commenced in Italian, with a remark on the weather. I immediately handed him tho newspaper. I didn't speakltalian, that was clear to them.
The guard now struck in with a remark in French as to the fineness of tho neigh¬ boring country. I shrugged my should¬ ers, and produced roy cigar-case. French was not very familar to me, evidently.
" Those beasts of English think their own tongue ao fine they are too proud to learn another," said the guard.
I sat quietly sipping my wine, and read¬ ing.
" Well, my dear Michael Pultuski," began the guard.
"For the lova of God, call mo not by that name. My name is Alexis—Alexis Dzenlzol, now."
" Oh! oh 1" laughed the guard: " you've changed your name, you fox ; ils liko you. Kow I am the same that you knew fifteen years ago, Conr.ad Ferrate—to-day, yester¬ day and for life, Conrad Ferrate—Como, lad, tell us your story. How did you get out of that little affair at Warsaw ? How they could have trusted jou, with your face, with their secrets, I can't for tho life of me tell; you look so libe a sly knave don't you, lad ?" •
Tbo courior, so far from resenting this familiarity, smiled, as it he had been praised.
" My story is soon said. I found, after my betrayal to tha police of tho secrets of that little conspiracy which you and I joined, that Poland was too hot for me and my name too well known. I went to France, who values her police, and for a few years was useful to them; But it was dull work, very dull; native talent was more esteemed. X was to be sent on a secret service to Warsaw; I deolined, for obvious reasons."
"Good! Michael—Alexis; good Alexis. Thia fox is not to be trapped." And he slapped the courier on the shoulder heart¬ ly.
And," resumed the other, " I resign¬ ed. Since then I hava traveled as courier with noble familiea, ond I trust I give satisfaction."
Good! Alexis ; good Mich—good, Al¬ exis 1 To yourself you give satisfaption.— You are a fino rascal!—the prinoo ol ras¬ cals I—so decent; so quiet; so liko the cure of a convent. Who would believe that you had sold the lives of thirty men for a few hundred roubles ?"
"Andwho," interrupted the courier, "would believe that you, bluff, honest Conrad Ferrate, had run away wilh all the mooey thoso thirty men had collected during ten years of labor, for rescuing their counlry from the Eussian 1"
'- That waa good, Alexis, was it not ? I never was so rich in my life as then ; I loved—I gamed—-I drank—on the patri¬ ots' money ?"
"For how long?   Threeyears?"
" More—and now havo none left. Ah —Times change, Alexis; behold mo."— and tho guard touched his buttons and belt, the badges of his office. "Never mind—here's my good friend the bottle —let us embrace—the only friend lhat s always trua—if he does notgladdeu, he makes us to forget."
" Tell mc, my good Alexis, whom do you! rob now ? Who pays for the best, and gets tho second best? Whose money do you invest, eh my little fox ?— Why are you here? Come, tell me while I drink to your success." " I have the honor to serve his excellency the Court Spezzato."
" Ten thousands devils 1 My accursed ocnsin!" broke in the guard. "He who has robbed me frdm his birth; whose birth itself .was a vile robbery of .me—of me, his cousin, child of his father's bro¬ ther.   Maybe be accursed for ever."
I took most particular pains to appear only amused ot this genuine outburst of passion, for I saw the watchful eye of the courier was on me all the time they were talking.
The guard drank oft' a tumbler ot Bran- j
dy.
" That master of yours is the man of whom I spoke to you years ago, as the onewho had ruined me;.and you serve him 1 May he ba strangled on his wed¬ ding night, and cursed for ever!"
" Be calm ; my dearest Conrad, oalm yourself; that beast of an Englishman will think you are drunk, lika one of his own swinish peopio, if you talk so loud as this."
"How can I help it? I must talk.. What lia'isl ought to be ? I was brought up to it till I was eighteen; was the heir to all hia vost estale; there was but one Ufa be¬ tween me and power—my uncle's—and he, at fifty married a girl, and had this sonof perdition, my cousin. And after that, who had been the pride of my fami¬ ly, became of no account; it was 'Julian,' sweet 'Julian!' "
"I hoard," said the courier, "tbat some ono attempted to strangle the sweet, child,
that was ?"
"Me—you fox—me. I wish 1 had done it; but for that wretched dog that wor ried mc. Ishould have been Count Spcz- «ato uow. I killed that dog, killed him, no not suddenly; may his master die like him!"
"And you left after that little affair?' "Oh yes!  I left and becamo what you know me."
"A clever man, my dear Conrad. I know no man who is more clever with tbe aoe than yourself, and, as to bullyh:g to cover a mistake, you are an emperor at that. Is it not so, Conrad ? Come, drink good health to my master, our oou¬ sin."
"You miserable viper, I'll crush you if you ask me to do lhat .again. I'U drink— Here, give mo the glass— ' .
"Here's to Count Spezxato: May he die like a dog! May his carcass bring the birds and tha wolves together 1 May hi^ name be cursed and hated whilo the sun lasts! And may purgatory keep him till I pray for his release!"
The man's passion was something fright¬ ful to see, and I was more than half incli¬ ned to leave the place; but somelhing, perhaps a distant murmer of the rising (ido, eornpelled me to stay. I pretended sleep, allowing my head to sink down up¬ on the table. : I ; He sat still for a few moments and then commenced walking about tho room, and abruptly asked : : "What brought you here, Alexis ?"
" My master's horse, Signor Conrad." .; "Good, my little fox; but why did you come on your master's horso ?"
"Because my master wishes to reach Leghorn to-night, to meet his bride, Con¬ rad." , ^ _. .^.i " Then his is the special train ordered at nine, that I am to go wilh ?" exclaimed the-guard eagerly. "',-¦" i^l- : "Thatis so, gentle Conrad; and now having told you all, let mc pay our hostess and go."                                       '
" Pay! No one pays for me, liltle fox; no, no, go; I will pay."
The courier took his departure, and the guard kept walking up and down the room, muttering to himself. ¦
" To uight, jt might be.lo-night. If he goos to Leghorn, he meetshis future wile; another life, and perhaps a dozen. No, it must be to-night or never. Does his moiher go ? Fool that I am not to ask! Yes; it shaU be to-night;" and he left the room.
What should be'tonight?' Some foul play, of which ths Count would be the victim, no doubt. But how ? when ? That must ba solved. To follow him, or to woit —whieh? To wait. It ia always best to wait, I had learned this lesson already.
I waited. It wasnow rather mora than half-past eight, and I had risen to go to the door when I saw the guard returning to the wins shop with a mati whose dress iudicated the stoker.
"Come in Guide; come in," said tho guard ; " and drink wilh ma."
The man came in, and w.as again ab¬ sorbed in my book.
They sealed tbemseives at the sama ta¬ ble as before, and drank silently for a whilo; presently tho gu.ard began a con¬ versation iu some patois lhat I could not understand; but I could sea the stoker grow more and more interested as the name of Beatrix occurred more frequent-
'y-
As lha talk went on tho stoker seemed pressing the guard on some part of tho Btory with a most vindictive eagerness, repeatedly asking, "His name? The accursed!   His namo?"
At last the guard answered, " The Count Spezzato."
" The Count Spezzato!" said the stoker now leaving the table, and speaking in llalian.
" Yes, good Guide; tha man who will travel in tha train we take tonight to Leghorn."
"He shall die! Tho accursed! Ha shaU dio to-night 1" said the stoker. " If I lose my life, the betrayer of my sister shall die !"
The gnard, returning to tha unknown tongue, seemed to be endeavoring to calm him; and I oould only catch a repetition of the word "Empoli" at  intervals.—
Presently the stoker took from the seats beside him two tin bottles, such as you may see in the hands of mechanics who dina out; and I could sea that one of them had rudely scratched on it the name "WUliam Atkinson." I fancied -the guard produced from his pocket a phial, and poured the contents into that bottle; but the aclion was so rapid, and the cor¬ ner so dark, that I could not be positive; then rising, they stopped at tha oouuter, had both botiies filled with brandy, and went out.
It was now time to get to the station; and, having paid my modestscore, I went out.
And alittle in front of me, by the I'ght from a small window, I saw these two oross themselves, grip each other's hands across right to right, left to left, and part- Tho stt,ker had set down the bottles, and now taking them up followed the guard at a slower paco.
Arrived at the station, I found the Count, his mother, a female servant, and tha courier.
The Count came up to me said, in broken English, " You are tha English to go toLeghorn with me? Very well, there is room. I like tha English. You shall pay nothing, because I do not sell tickets; you shall go free.   Is tbat so ?"
I thanked him in fhe best Italian I could muster.
"Do not speak your Italian fo me; I epeak the English as a native; I can know all you shall say to me in your own tongue. See, here ia the train special, as j'OU call it.   Enter, as it shall pleaso you."
The train drew up to the platform ; and I saw that the stoker was at his post, and that the engine driver was an Englishman. I endeavored in vain to draw his atten¬ tion to warn him, and was compelled to take my seat, which I Jidin the compart¬ ment next the guard's break—^he train consisting of only that carriage and an¬ other, in which were the Count, his moth¬ er, and the servant.
The guard passed along tha train, look- ad tha doors, and entered his box.
"The Florence goods ia behind you, and the Sienna goods is due at Empoli June- tion four minutes before you; mind you don't run into it," said thestalion master, with alaugh.
. " No fear; we shall not run into it," said the guard, with a marked emphasis on the " we" and "it" that I recalled af¬ terwards.
The whistle sounded, and we wera off. It was a drizzling dark night; and I lay down talllength on the seat to sleep.
As I lay down a gleam of light shot across tha carriage froin a small chink in the wood-work of the partition batween the compartment I was in and the guard's box.
I was terribly anxious from the mauner of the guard, and this seemed to be a means of hearing somelhing more. I lay down and listened attentively.
"How mueh will you giva for your life, my litlle fox?" said the guard.
" To-day, very little; when I om sixty, all I have, Conrad." ,'
"Butyou might give something forit to-night, sseot Alexis, if you know it was in danger?" ;;
"I haveno fejir; Conrad¦ Ferrati has foo often conducted a train for,m6 to fear to-night." . ^   j:   .
"True, my good Alexis ;bnt"this'is. the
last train hewill ride with as guard, for
to-morrow he will be the Count Spezzato."
"How?   To-morrow?   You joke. Con
tie fox, it was not my cousin, it was my- ] self, that took his Beatrix from herhome. j Is it not genius? /ind Atkinson—he, the driver—ia noj?-stupid: ha haa drunk from his can the pogpy juice thatwiU make hJm sleep forevi'f!'''! wiU be a pol¬ itioian. I am worthy of office. I will be¬ come the minister of a Bourbon when I am count, my dear fox, and you shall ba my comrade again, as of old."
I was, for a tima, lost to evary sensation save that of hearing. The fiendish gar- ruUty of the man had all the fascination of the serpent's rattle. I felt helplessly resigned to a certain fate.
I was aroused by something white slow¬ ly passing the closed window- of the car¬ riage. I waited a little, then gently opened it and looked out. The stoker was crawling along the footboard of the next carriage, holding on by its handles, so as not to ba seen by the occupants, and holding the signal lantern that I had noticed at the baok of the last carriage in his hand. The meaning of it struck mo in amoment; if byany chance we missed the goods train from Sienna, we should ba run inlo from behind by the train from Florence.
The cold air that blew in at the open window refreshed me, and I could think what was to be done. The train waa in¬ creasing its paoe rapidly. Evidently the stoker, in sole chargo, was striving to reach Empoli before the other train,whioh we should follow, waa due; he had to make five minutes in a journey ot forty- five, and, at the rate we wera going, we thould do it. We stopped nowhere, and the journey was more than half over. Wa were now between Segua and Montelupo; another twenty minutea and I should be a bruised corpse. Something must be done.
I deoided soon.   Unfastening my bag, I took out my revolver, without which I never travel, and looking carefully to tha loading and capping, fastened it to my waist with a handkerchief    I then cut with my knife the bar aoross tha middle ot the window, and carefully looked out. I could see nothing;  the rain was falUng fast, and the night as dark as ever.   I cautiously put out first one leg then  the other, keeping my knees and toes cloae to the door, and lowered myself tUl I felt the step.   I walked carefully along the foot¬ board by side steps, holding on to tha handles of the doors, till I came to tha end of tha carriages, and was next the tender.   Here was a gulf tbat seemed im¬ passible.   The stoker must hava passed over it; why not I?   Mounting from the foot-board on to tha tender, and holding on to the iron hook on which the lamps are hung, I stretched my legs to reach tho flat part of tha buffer on the tender.  My lega   swung  about   with vibration, and touched nothing.   I must spring.   I had to hold wilh both hands behind my back, and slood on the case of the buffer-spring, and, suddenly leaving go, leaped forward, struck violently against the edgo of the tender, and grasped some of the loose lumps of coal on  to the top.   Another strnggle brought me on my knees, bruised aud bleeding on the top.   1 stood up and at lhat moment the stoker opened tha door of the furnace, and turned towards me, shovel in.hand to put in the coals.— Tho bright red Ught from the fire enabled him to see mo, while it blinded me.   Ha rushed at me, and than began a struggle that I shall remember lo my dying day. He grasped mo round the throat with the arm, dragging me close to his breast, and
rad. The braudy w.-^ strong, but you who   ,vith Ihe'othe'r keptshortening the shovel have drunk so much  could hardly feel   for an effcelive blow.   My hands, numb-
that.'
"I neither joke, nor ara I drunk; yetl shall be Count Spezzato to-morrow, good Alexis. Look you, my gertlle fox, my sweet fox; it you donot buy your lifo of me you shall dio lo-night. That is simple, sweet fox."
" Ay; but. Conrad, I am not in danger.'' I
" Nay;- Alexis; see, hero is the door." (I heard him turn tha handio.) " It you lean against tho door you will fallout and be killed.^ Is it not simple."
"But, good Conr.'id, X shall not lean against the door." I
" Oh my sweet fox, my cunning fo.x, my timid fox, but not my strong fox;'you will lean against tho door. ' 1 know you will unless I prevent you; .and I will not prevent you unless you give me' all "you have in that bag." i|
The mocking tono ot tho guard seemed woll uuderatood, for Iheard'the click of
gold.-, -.'.-ij.---
" Good, my Alexis ; it is good; but it is very littlo for a life. Come.jwhat is- your life'wortli,'th'at you buy it with only your "master's money? it has costjyou nothing. Ij. see you ,will lean against. that door, :^hich,i3 sO:fooUsh." '\
IfJ^Wh'at, in the name of/aU the„devils In hell will you have?" said the trembling voice of the courier
"Only a little more; just.thatbelt that is under your shirt, under everything, next to your skin, and dearer loyou; only a little soft leather belt wilhpouches in. Is not life worth a leather belt ?"
"Wretch! AU the earnings of my life are in that belt, and you know it."
"Is it possible, sweet fox, that I hava found your nest ? I shall ¦ give Mario a. necklace of diamonds, theni Why do you wait? Why should you fall from a train and mako a piece ot news for the,papers? Why?"
" Take it; and be accursed in your life and death '." and I heard the belt flung on the floor of tha carriage.
" Now, good Alexis, I am in funda, there are three pieces of gold for, you ; fpa will need them at Leghorn.^";'Will you drink? Xo ? Then I will t'ell^'ypttiy'iy, without drink. Do you know wtiere we are ?" Yes;  between St. Doniinico and Sig-
" And do you know where we oro go¬ ing?"
"Yes; to Leghorn."
" No, sweet Alexis, we ai^e not; wo are going to Empoli; the Iriiin wili go no furlher. Look you, little fox; wa shall arriva at the junction ono minuta before the Sienna goods train, and there the en. ine will break down just where the rails cross; for two blows of a hammer will convert an engine into a log; I shall get out to examine it; that will take a little time; I shall expl.ain to the Count the na¬ ture ot the injury ; that will taka a little timo; and then the goods train will have arrived; and as it does not stop there, this train will go no further than Empoli, and I shall be Count Spezzato to-morrow. How do yoa,like my scheme, littla fox? Is it not wbrthy of your pupil ? Oh, it will be a beautiful accident; it wUl fill tha pa¬ pers. The beast ot an Englishman who begged his plaoa in the train wUl be fortu nate; he wiU cease, for goods trains are heavy. Eh I but ..it's a grand scheme— the son, the mother, the servant, the stranger, tha engine-driver, all shall tell no tales." " And the stoker?" said the courier. " Oh, you and he aad I ahall escape.— We shaU be pointed it in the streets as the fortunate. It is god^, is it not, Alexis, ray fox ? I have told him that the Count is the man who betiaywJ his sister. . He behaves it, and ia my creature.   But, Ut¬
ed and bruised, wera almost useless to me, and for some seconds we realod to and fro on the foo^plate in lha blinding glare. At last he got me ngainst tlia front of the engine, and with horrible ingenui¬ ty, pressed ma against it till the lower part of my clothes were burnt to a oinder. The heat, however, resiored my hands, and at last I managed to push him far enough trom my body to loosen my pis¬ tol. I did not want fo kill him,, but I could not be vary careful and I fired at his shoulder from the back. He dropped Iheshovel, the arm that had nearly throt¬ tled me relaxed, and he fell. I pushed him into a corner of tho tender, and sat doivn to recover myself.
My objeot was lo get to Empoli before the Sienna goods train, for I knew nolh¬ ing of what might be behiud inc. It was too lalo to stop, but I might, by shorten¬ ing Bie journey seven minutes inslead of five, get to Empoli threa minutes before the goods train wos due.
•I had never been on an engine before in my life, but I kuew there must ba a valve somewhere that let the steam from the boiler into the cylinders, and that, being important, it would be in a conspic¬ uous position. I therefore turned the large handle in front of me, and had the satisfaction of finding the speed rapidly increased, and at the same time felt the guard putting on the break to retard the train. Spite of this, in ten minutes I could see dim lights; I could not tell where, and I slill pressed on, faster and faster.
In vain, between the intervals of put¬ ting on coals, did I try to arouse the sleep¬ ing driver. There I was, with two ap¬ parently dead bodies on the foot-plate of an engine, going at the rate of forty miles an hour, or more, amidst a thundering hoisa and vibration that nearly madden¬ ed me.
At last we reaohed tha lights, andi saw, as I daahed by, tbat we had passed the dread  point.
As I turned back, I could see tha rap¬ idly dropping cinders from the train which, had the guard's break been suffic¬ iently powerful to have made me thirty seconds later, would have utterly deatroy¬ ed me.
I was still in a difficult position. There was fhe train half a minute behind us, which, had wa kept our time, would have been four minutea in front ot us. It came on to the same rails, and I could hear its dull rumble rushing on towards us, fast. If I aiopped there was no light to warn them, i must go on, for the Si¬ enna train did not stop at EmpoU.
I put on more fuel, and after some slight scalding, from turning on the wrong taps, had the pleasure of seeing the water- gauge fiilUng up. Still I oould nol go on long; the risk was awful. I tried in vain to write on a leaf ot my note-book, and after searching in the tool-box, wrote on the iron Ud of the tank with a piece of chalk. "Slop everything behind me.— Tha train will not bo stopped tiU three red lights are ranged in a lino on the groand. Telegraph forwards," And then as we flew through the Empoli atation, I threw it on the platform. Oa we went, the same dull thunder behind warning me that I dare not stop.
We passed through another station at full speed, and at length I saw the white lights of another station in the distance. The sound behind had almoat ceased, and in a few moments more I saw the lina of three red lamps low down ou the ground. I pulled back the handle, and after an in¬ effectual effort to pull up at the atation, brought up th« train about a hnndred yarda beyond Pontedera.
Tha porters and police ot the siation ] came up and pnt the train back, and then cama the explanation.
The guard had been found dead on the rails, just beyond Empoli, and the tele¬ graph set to work to stop the train. He must have found out tha failure of his scheme, and in trying to reaoh the engine, have fallen on the rails.
The driver was only stupified, and the etoser fortunately only dangerously, not fatally wounded.
Another driver was found, and tho train was to go on.
Tha Count had listened most attentive¬ ly to my statements, and then, taking my grimed hand in his, led me to his mother. " Madam, my mother, you have from this day ona other sou; this, my mother, ia my brother."
The Countess Uterally fell on my neck, and kissed me in the sight bf them all; and speaking in Italian, said—
" Julian, he is my son;  he haa aaved my life ;   and more,  he has saved your life.   My son, I will not say much ; what is your name ?" ¦   "Guy Westwood."
" Guy, my child, my son, I am your mother; yon shall love me."
"Yes, my mother; hois my brother.— I am his. He is EngUsh, too; I like Eng¬ lish. He has done well. Blanche shall ba his sister."
During the whole of this time both mo¬ ther and son were embracing me and kissing my cheeks, after the imp^ulsivo manner of their passionate natures, the indulgence ot which appears so strange fo our cold blood.
The train was delayed for my wounds and bruises to ba dressed, and I then en¬ tered their carriaga and went to Leghorn with them.
Arrived there I was about to say "Fare- weU." . ,
" What is farewell, now ? No; you must see Blanche, your sister. You wUl sleep at my hotel: I shall not let you go. Who is she that iu your great book aays, 'Where you go I will go?' That is rny spirit. You must nol leave ma tUl—till you are as hap¬ py as Iam."
He kept me, introduced me to Blanche, and persuaded me to write for leave to stay another two months, when he would return to England with me. Little by- little he made me talk about Alice; till he he knew all my story.
"Ah 1 that is it;, you shall be unhappy
because you want five hundred pounds
every year, and I have so much as that,
I am a patriot to get rid of my money-
So it ia that you will not taka money.
You have saved my I'lfe, and you will not
take money; but I shall make you take
money,  my  friend,  English   Guy;   you
shall have as thus."   And ho handed me
my appointment as secretary to ono of
the largest railways in Holy.    "Now you
shall take money ; now you will not go lo
your fogland to work like a slave ;   you
shall take fhe money.   That is not all.   I
am one of the practice patriots—no, the
praclical patriots-of Italy.   Thpy eome to
me with their conspiracies ^to join   their
secret societies to adhere to, but I do not.
I am director ot ever so mauy railways ;
I mako fresh directions every day.   I say
to those who talk lo me of politics, 'How
many shares will you lake in tbis or in
that?'   I am .a r-rinter of books:   I am
builder of museums ; I have great share
in docks, and I say to these,  •" It i.^  this
tbat I am doing that is wanled."   This is
not conspiracy;   it is nob plot;   it isnot
sociely with ribbons; butit i.s -vliat H.-ily,
my country, w.ants.    I grow poor ;   Italy
grows rich ; 1 am not wise iu these things;
they cheat me,becanscl am an enthusiast.
Now, Guy, my brotlier, you aro wiae; you
are deep; long in the head; in short.you
are English !   You shall be my guardian
ill the.se tilings—^you shnll s.-ive me  from
the cheat, and you shall work hard as
you like for all the money you sh;iU take
of me.   Come, my Guy, is it so?"
Need I say tbat it was so ? Tho Count and his Blanche made Iheii- honey moou tourin England. They spent Cliristm.is day with Alice and myself at Mr. Mor¬ ton's, .and when they left, Alice and I left

The peculiar taint or infection wliicli we call ScnoFtTLA lurks in the constitutions of multitudes of mon. It eillicr i>ro(luccs or is\ proiluccd by an en- ^fecl)k-il, vitiatcil sttitc* ^:vof thu ijlood, wliereiu ^thiit Jhiiil bcenme.'; in- .^^conipetunt to sustiiiii ^ tlic vital lurcc.'i in their ¦^visorous action, .iml pXciWQs the systeni to ."fall iuto disorder and decay. The scrofuloti.s contiimination is va¬ riously caused by mercurial disease, low living, disordered diKCstion frotn unheaUhy food, impure air, liith and filthy liirbits, the dcpres.sinff vices, and, above all, by tho venereal infection. AVluitevor be its origin, it is hereditary in thc constitution, descending "from parents to children unto thc third and fourtli generation;" indeed, it seems lo be the rod of liim who says, " I will \\s\t the iniquities of the fathers upon their children." The diseases it originates take various names, according lo thc organs' it attacks. In the lungs. Scrofula proiluccs tubercles,,and finally Consumption; in thc glunds, swellings which suppurate and be¬ come ulcerous sores; in the stomach and bo(vels, derangements whieh produce indi¬ gestion, dyspepsia, and liver eomplaims; on the skin, eruptive and cutaneous alfcdions. These, all having thc same origin, require the same romedy, viz., purification and invigora¬ tion of the blood. Vurify the blood, and these dangerous distempers leave yon. With foeblo, foul, or corrupted blood, you cannot have liealth; with that "life of the ilesh" healthy, you cannot have scroftiloiis disease.
Ayer's Sarsaparilla is conipoundfd from the most elfeetual anti¬ dotes lhat niedical .science lias discovered for thi.s afilieting diateiitijer, and for thc cure -f tho disorders it euUiils. That it is far supe¬ rior to any other remedy yet devised, i--. known hy all vj-ho have given it a trial. That it docs comliine virtues inily extraordinary in their eflect upon this cl.iss of coiniibints, is inditi)t:tably [iroven by the great miihitude of ptiblicJy known aud reniarlcnhie cures it ha.s- made of the inllowing di.-en.=es: King-'a
Evil, or Glandular Swellings, Turners, Eruptions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Erysipelas, Eose or St Antho.ny's Pire, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Coughs froiu tubereulons deposits in. the luntjs, Wliits SwelUngs, Debility, Dropsy, Nenralgia, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Syphilis antl Syphilitic Infections, Blercuriai Diseases, Feni^le Weaknesses, ami, imieed, the wlmle series of eomiihiiuts that arise from iiiiimrity of thc blood. 2VIinntc reports of indivjthial cases may bo found in Ayi:i:'.s Asitr.ie.ix AL.-UAN-AC, whicli j.s furjiJshcil Io the drtifrgii-ts for gratuitous distribution, v.-herein may be learned tho directions for ii.-s use, and some of the remarkable cures which it has made vhen all other remedies had failed to aflbrd relief- Those cases are purposely taken from all sections of the country, in order that every reader may have acec-s to some one wiio ean speak to him ofits benefits from personal experience. Scrofula depresses the vital energies, and thus leaves its victims far more subject to disease and its falal results than arc healthy con.slitutions. Hence it tends to shorten, and does greatly shorten, tiic average duration of human life. Tite vast importance of these considerations hn.s led \x& to spend years in perfecting a remedy ¦which'is adequate to its cure. This v.-e now ofier to the puhlic under the name of Avi:k'.-« Sau.saparilla, aUhough it is compo?eil of ingredients, some of which cvcccd the best of Sarsaparilla in alterative power. Uy its aid you may protect yourself from thc suflbr- ing and danger of these disorders. I'urge out thc foul corruptions that rot and fc.-ler in the blood, purge out thc causes of disease, and vigorous health %viU follow. By its pecu¬ liar virtues this remedy stimulates tho vital functions, nnd thus expels the distempers whicli lurk within the system or burst out on any part of it,
¦\Vc* know the public have been deceived by many compounds of Sarsaparilla, tliat Iiromised mueh and did notliing; but tbey will neither be deceived nor disa[ipointcd in this. Its virtues have been proven by abun¬ dant trial; and there remains no question of its surpassing cxeelicnee for the cure of the afflicting diseases it is intended to reach. Although under the same name, it is a very different medicine from any other which has been before tbe people, and is fiir more ef¬ fectual than any other which has ever been available to thera.
