Surely she could not Object to having a gentle and deli cate girl of royal blood in her house one who could stay with her when her when her rude and roystering hoys had all gone out Into the world to make their fortunes, forgetting ' almosi that they ever had a mother. And his gurnent prey died, agreed to sell horebild! The count returned to his wife, with a bland suavity of manner which fair ly deceived the poor lady. Lying there, with the tiny a'om uno.i her arm, an,l press d closely to the breast from which it was drawing the fi st sweet nourishment of its life, she lis tened with a thrill of happinesr long unknown to the kind and tender words he uttered. IXj tolj her of Cuiappim's child, and the sympathizing woman lamented his disappointment and re grelied feelingly that her own babe was only a girl. Then the temper seized that moment of regret to press his suit with the wondering mother. How ingeniously he turned-and doubled and peisietediu every plea. How he painted in gl ing colors that future that would open so royally upon her and upon the bib born on ihe same night us her own, and which would diaw its existence from her breast as this one was now doing. He apieded to every weak point in her nature, and especially to that ambition which he knew had long possessed her. Ami when the morning light shone family into her darkened room, the first object that, met her straining eves was the swarthy lace and square head of the Jewish hoy, in the place of her own deli cate child.

He was baptized by the name of Louis Pbillippe! The other was in the house of the Jew, after the manner of lus sect, and consecrating a sweet and lovely little girl as Marie Stella Petrom llla. a bo ar T he mother I w <: so so Had the count proven himself as wise as be was scheming and ambitious, ho would have taken the Jewish boy far away from his real relatives, and would never have suffered himself nor his wife to look upon the sweet face of Marie. It was with astrange mixture of regret and gladness that the countess heard that Marie and her reputed mother were bit terly averse to each other. She saw the child growing up iu stately beauty, a wonder to all beholders how so fair a fit ly had its birth in such a household; aud fear alone prevented her from taking her to her heart and sending home ihe dark, hued Jewish hoy. But she knew the penalty and, h: was forced to obey its requirements. These thoughts tortured her for seven teen y«ars; until Marie had become a wife. Lord Newburg, an Euglish noble man, saw aud loved; and he carried her to a beautiful home; where she felt uo longiug for the one she had left. Her childhood had been unloved and ue glected, and her heart warmed to the love that met her upon foreign shore. When her husband died sbe did not wish to return; and soon after she was again sought in matrimony by Baron Sternberg, a Russian nobleman. They weut 10 JSt Petersburg, and lived in the extreme of Russian style; but one thought still haunted Marie, rendering the sweet est cup a bitter one to her taste Amid all her spleudor she felt that she owed it to her husband alone. She had nothing to bring him nothing but the mortifying consciousness that she was only tho daughter ot Laurent Uhiappini, the jailer —the parvenu! It was gall and bitterness to the handsome, stylish baroness, who for her husband's sake, was admitted to the elite of Russian society. Meantime, St. Petersburg, as well as all the rest of the world, was ringing w ith the miserable death of the Duke of Orleans upon the scaffold, and Louis Pbillippe, the jailer's sou, but nominally a prince of the blood of Bourbon, be cain ethe next duke of that name. The baroness read aud sighed Perhaps she thought a disgraced nobleman was a more desirable ancestor than she had poss. 8 ed,pi reaps .-h djemed it more hon orable to perish on ihe scatl'old than to have hanged others there. But the wheels of time go on; and oc casionally they turn up odd and strange chances that startle aud make us pause with a sense of the insecurity of all hu expectations. The poor baroness was again a widow, had traveled and seen the world. Her sou-the only child she had ever borne—was the companion of her wanderings; and after years of communion with the past, she had again settled down at the age of fifty, to lake life as it might come, or prepare herself to join the beloved ones gone before. Memory was still busy it her heart. She thought of her early childhood, ren dered miserable by an unloving, cold heart d mother, who loved gold better than her daughter. She remembered the pale, sad countess, who used to look as her with such a yearning look when uo one was by, but who shrunk from her when others came. And one day in the midst of her mu»ing, there came a letter. She opened It and read. It was from of those whom she hail called brothers; from Laurent Uhiappini, the younger. His father had died recently, and had left a letter for the baroness, which he tnclosed, detailing her real birth,his temptation, and her father's guilty am bition that had wrought so much that was wroug and woful. She was the daughter of the Count de Joinville! She must goto France and his birth, his lineage, aud his cou ted ing all to on fish on left still ing out iu on of five and etc. she must pay for such rashness ard as was the alternative, she : eat bass To Pa Paid By qu the traci nections. . ... The horror that filled her heart, when at Paris she learned that lie was t lie same Dure of Orleans who was execut-fi, was subdu-d by tne sense of his wrong agaiust her. But she determined ny trv every force to establish her rights, and thence forward she devoted her life to this one in co that her st lis re the to purpose. Her claim was well defended —was believed by manv; but they were those who ought to believe. Leuis I hi Hippo and those abuut him were pursuing her with a revengeful hatred a scornful contempt. Had all this happened when Baron de Sternber was living, and when Marie was sti young and lovely, twenty Louis Phil lippes could not have barred her claim but who cared now for the faded and aged baroness, worn to a shadow by K r bsf, and with one step in the grave? Twf.nty-t*o years the long struggle lasted. In that time, what things had liapp ned to that fated country, and to all who bore its burdens or sympathized with its rights and wrongs! And when the sou of the jailer, Louis Phillippe, ascended the throne of France, the p baroness felt that the last straw had b added to the weight that had been gradually bearing her down to earth. Bonaparte—the meteor that flashed upon the sky of France, had cornu and gone, dying by disease at last, a id not in glor ious warfare—and France was once more with the Bourbons. The cannons were booming for the opening of the chambers. The triumph ot Louis Pbillippe was consummated. And within hearing of that sound, an aged woman, who might have been the queen of France, but for treacherous wrong that hail been done, wan lying in the cold embrace of that dread king of terrors, who comes alike to all.j [fi ar oor een Bass Fishing. w THE DIAItV OP A DAY'S EXPERIENCE ON TUE Ult AND Y WINE. <: August — 1877. Having resolved to devote a day to the bass in the Brandywine; borrowed my wile's hernauia overskirt and made a net lor catching minnows and crabs for bait; invested in a pair of tin pales of differ ent sizes su that ous could he carried in the other; punched holes in Ihe smaller one and walked out to Taylor's dam af ter bait, On my way out met a man coming in carrying a pail that looked like mine; man said bait was scarce out at Taylor's and advised me to go to Chester Creek above t ..e Water Works. Went out to Chester Creek, commenc ed to catch crabs; crab caught me; then thought minnows would be the best bait, so scooped up a couple of quarts of mud and minnows. Started for house stopping to change water in pail at every brook; thermome ter DO degrees; no idea the w eather was so warm. Readied house half an hour past tea time; wife wanted to know what made my face so red; told her I had been work ing in the garden. Arose two hours earlier than usual next morning; no breakfast, so took a cold bite aud started for livery stable, carrying pole, lauding net, gum boots, pail of bait aud milk cau with ice to hold fish. by ed a tol i lorse wasn't done eating: had to wait half an hour. Got off at last and drove out to Cope's bridge; found men with fishing poles pos ted about ten feet apart all along bank of creek in Hayes' meadows; also observed notice, "No trespassing allowed under penalty of law, &c." Concluded to go further down creek; saw men fishing at Sager's bridge; more men fishiug at Painter's; more men fish ing at Brinton'8; got discouraged with idea of driving all the way down to R'il mineton, and seeing vacant space on bauk large enough tor medium sized man, concluded to hitch and try luck; all the fences occupied with horse's; had to hitch to wagon wheel. While getting ready to throw in, man on left jerked my hat off with bis line and landed it in creek; man on right,very profane man, said I'd better scare all the fish away; hadn't seen any Jyet to scare. Opened pail to get bait out; fouud two tadpoles aud a minnow yet alive; rest all dead Put one of tadpoles on hook and spit on bait for luck. Sat down on bank and decided to take asmoke to pass away time; found I had left my segar case at home; decided I wouldn't smoke till I got home. Braced myself up to pull out a large bass, cork visibly agitated; cork moving slowly off; tremendous jerk and lahded a all turtle of the stinkpot species in branches of neighboring tre*. Gives one the vertigo to climb a tree; hired small boy to go up after my line; had to cut it. Set. him again; no more bites; watched cork intently; begins to get smaller, gets still smaller, go to sleep; dream of catch ing large bass, which falls back in creek with loud splash; awake suddenly; crawl out of creek very wet. Think this ain't a good bass day; one more bait left; find a capital place; throw iu aud wait for bite. Cork rapidly going down stream; lose sight of cork; pull in quickly; tremendous weight at other end of line; can't get his head above water to see what it is; fast on root; breaks, leaving book, sinker, leader and ten feet of silk line at bottom of creek. Look around; no one near; swear for five minutes; feel better; make up my ind to quit; got enough; pick up tackle and stink pot; start for wagon; fiud it gone; walk to \Vest Chester.

The telegram concludes : '«To-morrow weshall bring up our siege guns and renew tho struggle. We hope to be successful." RUSSIAN ACCOUNTS OF THE FIGHT. Detailed bulletins from the Russian gen eral commanding in the Schlpka Pass show that August 22 the Turks erected two batteries of long-range artillery and made trenches, through which they approached the Russian positions. Tne Russian loss on August 21 was 20c and on the 22d much less. The latest bulletin recounts the ope. rations of Thursday. It says : "The Turk isli fire commenced at half-past 4 in the moruing and lasted with great violence until noon. Meanwhile the Turks made j several desperate assaults, but were re-1 pulsed Our heroes did not yield a foot. At noon the firing slackened, and reserves under Zadesky began to arrl ve.
