VOL. IX. THREE TIMES A DAY. « Adela, my darling! Adela!” he has gone out, andpa.”” “Gone out! with Shom? Has she left me here alone with you, Julietta?” ~ Little Mary is here, grand the dog; and Marianne is in the ting dinner ready.” . This conversation was held between a little girl, about nine years old. and the Baron St. Andres, an old man of eighty. He was aknight of the order of St. Louis, and had received his knighthood and i ia from the hands of Louis the Sixteenth, king of France. He was now, however, quite blind, and consequently almost helpless. Little Mary, a child of six years of age, made the third one of the party. ‘Julietta!’ resumed the old man, after a short silence, * did your sister say anything to you when she swent out?”’ + Yes, ‘ipa,’’ replied Julietta; “she e care that little Mary doesn’t trouble grandpa, and if he wishes to into the garden, gtve him your hand, and e care not to let him stumble over anything. because he can’t see, poor grandpa ! and God has given him to us, his children, to take eare of him and te obey him, and make him as happy as we can.’ Ob, I know it all by heart, grandpa, because Adela tells it to me three times a day; every time hefore she goes oat.”” ~ He every time before she goes out! Does she often go out?” asked the old man, whose venerable brow seemed ruffled by some painful theught. «Three times every day !’’ answered Julietta, in some surprise; “ three times every day; once in the morning, before you como down, from 7 to 9 o clock; another, from 11 till 1; and the the third from 3 toe5, when you are asleep. You seo ! three times aday. Did you think I couldn’t reckon?”” “« What o’elock is it now?”’ asked the Baron, rather sharply. doubtless with the hope of find- ing some discrepancy in Julietta’s reckoning. “ It struck one just now,’’ Julietta answered “And here comes Adela; I hear the garden | gite opening; and she is speaking to Mary and | the deg. They have gone to meet her.”’ Ina few moments Adela entered. She was @ young and lovely girl; so young, she seemed as if she had scarcely emerged from childhood, and yet, 0 serious and so thoughtful was the expression of her countenance, that the pre- mature cares of life had, as it were, blighted the flower of youth. * Adela'”’ said the old man, in a tone so sad | and serious that it brought the quica color to the young girl's face, «whence come you?” and stretching forth his hand, he seized that of Adela’s, which she had extended towards him, took it between both his own, gently stroked it, and at last said, in a mournful manner, * You areagitated, my child ! you are troubled ' you tremble ! hence come you’”’’ The young girl did not reply. Obtaining no answer, the Baron St. Andres continued, and the slow, solemn accent with which he uttered each word showed the sad feelings of his heart. “In 1814 I was a wid- ower, Adela, and, of all my numerous family, only one was left me, my sainted daughter Henrietta, your mother. * * * Your father fell at Waterloo; you were then only twelve. Adela! Adela ' what ean I say? By all my Past miseries—by my unceasing grief—by my gray hairs—I entreat you, tell me, whence come you’ Whither go you three times every day?” “ My father,”” said Adela, “I am only sev- enteen years old, it is true, and yet, young as T am, sorrow and care have already left their impress on my brow. Three years ago my mother died, yet that sad scene is still ever —— to my mind. as vividly as if it had been but yesterday. I still hear the weak voice, regaining momentary strength, address me: | * Adela’ che said,‘ Lieave you two daughters; be a mother to them. And my poor father—I intrust him to you. Guide the two first in their course though life; show them its thorns and its dangers. Hide from the second every thing | that would pain him.” Such were her words, | and L have tried toobey them. [ go out three times a day, amd that troubles you; but you do not consider that I am the mistress ofa family— the housekeeper—and yet more, I have to take care of you all. Are not these duties enough | to call me out three times a day? Have confi- denee in your Adela, my dear grandtather— trust in her “That is afl I desire ; wishes. my daughter! . playing with Fitches, get- it is all my heart Well, well! you have been out to-day—you will not go oat again' Am I right? You do not answer, Adela! A:lela, as if she had not heard bis last words, turned to Julietta, and questioned her coneern- ing the studies which she had to recite to her in the evening, and thus adroitly changed the conversation.“ She then remained for some tame with the little yarty on the pigzza, until Morianne seemed them to the er-table Notwithstanding her exertions to please and entertain her grandfather. she observed with « Pain that his mind was still troubled, and fe mg that he would resume his attempts to di saade ber from again venturing out, she con- trolled her feelings, and chatted incessantly with the little ones—all the time, however, carefully ministering to the old man’s wants As svon as the meal was finished, she directed Julietta to lead her grandfather back to his feat on the piazza, while she herself remained as if to attend to her household duties. At the end of half an hour Julietta saw her with her bonnet on her head. and her gloves on her hand, | walk qnickly throuzh the garden and pass out of the gate, which she closed behind her, with the least possible noise. The old man’s fine sense of hearing, however, had instantly de- | teeted, and, if we may veak, had followed | all the movements of randdaughter, and when the gate closed hebiad ker he said, with a deep sigh, and as if speaking to himeelf, “She has gone out again" Then. probably to divert the solicitude which was tormenting him, he directing Julietta to go and tell the servant girl to take Fite Mary out for a walk, and added, * Bring with you, when you come back, the newspaper that you will find on the table in the saloon, and come and Teal to me the article upon the public rejoic- ing: of last week. That will amuse both you anime.” Julietta obeyed. A short time afterwards *'irianne and Mary went out for their walk, ani Julietta returned, and seating herself upon astoul near her grandfather's feet, began to = the soars which he had mentioned.

I have the pleasure of announcing to you that your pension is restored.’? “Sir, sir; you must certainly have taken me for some one else,”? the Baron answered, his surprise almost as great as that of Julietta, “for my pension has never been taken from me. How then can you say, ‘ it is restored?” ”’ The young man resumed, and it was evident that he was also greatly astonished : “Are you not the Baron St. Andres, who served in the reign of Louis XV., and Louis XVI., in the Vendean wars; who has lost five sons in the wars of the Empire?” “« Yes, sir,”’ the Baron answered. “Your nd-daughter—the young lady— Adela St. Andres—does sho not give lessons on the piano in the house of the Minister of War —in fact, to my sisters ?"” “Explain yourself, sir! explain yourself '”’ the old man exclaimed. « My pension lost! Adela! Three times a day! Oh! I entreat you, explain!" “It isa very simple matter,” the young man said; “but how can you be ignorant of all this? It isa fact that I have two sisters, and about a year ago, when they were secking a teacher of music, your grand-daughter, the young lady Adela, atered Ler services; she was recom: by the Countess do Bricourt, whose daughters she was also teaching. After some months had passed, knowing that I was in the war-office, and that I am the minister's nephew, she told me that your pension had been discontinued for two years, and that no cause had been — for it, and, she added, ‘Neither 2 blind old man, nor a young girl like me,can take the necessary steps to learn the reason.’ ‘Make your mind easy upon that point,” I said to her; ‘I will take charge of the | matter.” I have fulfilled my promise, and now Lhave the pleasure of communicating to you the pleasing intelligence that orders have been given, not only for the restoration of your pen- sion, but also for the payment of all arrears.”’ “Oh, Adela! noble and worthy girl!” ex- claimed the old man, raising his vightless eyes t» Heaven; Oh, my daughter! so unjustly aceused—you have concealed all this from me ; all—even the labor which your filial love in- duced you toundertake. Oh, where is she? why does she not come ? Go, go and seek her.”” Julietta went out, as if for that purpose. and the Baron, gradually overcoming his emotion, related to the young man and to the stranger lady all that had passed that morning—his fears and his anxieties for his grand-daughter. raises and blessings which the old man lay- ished upon the absent Adela met full sympathy from at least one of her hearers. “Oh, Baron, my dear si the young man said; “ do not know me yet; I am a stran ger to you, but I will give you ample satisfac- tion concerning my family ; I have long loved your mp oar ; she does not reject me ; give her to me, nce for my wife!’” At this moment a ery of joy from Julietta an- nounced the return of Adela. When the latter saw the two persons who were standing near grandfather, she blushed deeply, and hesitated in her by tae ; but the old man called her to him, and fondly embracing her, said : ‘, Everything is discovered, you darling, you little rogue; and here is one who claims the right to be your husband, and to separate you from me.’’ * He who claims that right,’’ the still blush- ing girl answered, with a strange mingling of timidity and of firmness, “‘ must also take upon him the charge of an old man, and of two little jor whose welfare and happiness I am re- ponsible in the eyes of God.”’ * All, all that you love, shall be most dearly welcomed, dearest lady.” Adela educated her two sisters, and saw them happily married—as happily as herself, and none could wish a happier let. The blind old Baron lived to an extreme old age, and at length died in her arms, bequeathing her his last fond blessing. cRNER, oes See ae ae Tue AKKIVAL oF Mormons at Boston —It has already been stated that a ship arrived at Bos- ton last week from Liverpool, with 500 Mormous The Courier says : Many of the families were possessed of consid- erable property.
