A WOULD-BE-HEIR ESS; Or, Pas Enco; During one of our annual visits to Marston Manor, we Were all assembled round a magnifi- cent Gre"in the library. It was a true winter day; outside, “Pbe wind and rain beat dark December; and in the hush, which had gradually fallen over the party, the sobbing of the wind, and dash of the rain drops agaivst the huge panes of glass were mournfully audible. Portia Mar- ston, Whose buoyant spirit always rebelled against gloom. spoke first We are as dull as dreaming opium: this afternoon. Let us do something ourselves till the dressing bell rings ‘What shall it be?” was the question. Shall we tell stories’ “Of course’’— clapping ber hands in delight— Every one shall contribute her or his memories ife. Some remarkable incident must have happened toeverybody. Mademoiselle’’—turn- ing to 4 French lady who sat next her—* your face has ap expression that convinces me you can a tale unfold, if you will. Please begin.’’ Mademoiselle protested at first that story- telling was not ber fortr, and that she would rather take the role of # good listener; but her objections were overruled by the united voices of ber companions, and at length she complied, and related to us the following incident of her early life. assuring us of its truth: My father and mother were, as you well know, of that ancient French aristocracy who suffered for their king and church in the ter- rible Revelation. They were both children of emigrants; and when their families were re- stored, with the Bourbons, they were married to each other by their parents’ desire. But, like your own cariliers, the once wealthy voblesse of France never fully recovered the possessions they had lost. We were very poor; and it was consequently with a great deul of pleasure that my father read a letter from an old aunt of his own, who was rich and childless, offering to make me bis heiress, if. on aequaint- ance, she should like me. I was to be sent te her as soon as possible; and if she approved of my manners and disposition, I was to reside with heras heradopted daughter, till her death. I cannot say | was at all pleased at the idea of leaving that dear Paris, and entombing wyzeif in an old chateau; but—gue furre ’—it was the will of my parents, and i might not dispute it. I was consequently despatched with all co: venient speed to my ancient relative, and ar- rived safely, after rather a tedious journey, at her house. having been escorted thither by a gentleman who washer neighbor, on his return home. It was such an old house—built, they said, by Vauban; and certainly there were traces of fortification about it. The domestics looked as if they had waited on Noah, and sur- vived the Deluge. One of these antiquities ushered me into my aunt's presence. She was seated in an immense saloon. near a stove—for it was cold—and had, like her apartment, a eertain air of faded grandeur. She retained the dress of the court days of Louis Seize; her hair was dressed @ /2 Musie Antoinette, and she was highly rouged. She received we with an expression of sensibility that rather enter- tained than touched me, seeing she had so long ignored my existence and that of my father. After her embraces and welcomes were end- ed, she turned and introduced me to an old lady who sat near her. bending over an embroidery frame. It was Madame de Bernia, her friend and dame de compagnie. She was agreatdeal vider than my aunt. and had a terribie face; it haunts my dreams sometimes even now. Her nose and chin nearly met; her cheeks were sunken. her hair white as snow; she also was high!y rouged. aud the color gavea false lustre to a large pair of cold faded blue eyes, which onee seen could never be forgotten. “Madame de Bernis,’ said my aunt, ina low voice. * has been my faithful companion for thirty years; if she were not so much older than myself. I should have left her fortune, bat it is quite unlikely that she should survive me. You need not lovk at me so wonderfully. In addi- tion to her many infirmities, she is deaf, and hears not a-word you say.’ Supper was now announced, and when the meal was fiuished, my aunt asked meif I would hut like to go to bed. as I must be tired with wy journey { hope you are not timid,” she said, as she bade we good night; +I like courage even i # Younggirl. However. your room is separated trom mine on!y by the picture gallery, and you ean come to we if you feel alarmed.” Now, by character, | am very timid, though atthe moment I did not like to avow it, and wy transit from my aunt’s chamber through a sullery of staring, faded portraits, did not tend ty encourage me. The room destined for my scupation was a large one, entirely hung rocad with mirrors.

I looked up, and to my horror saw my auut’s dame de Com- 2 Madame de Bernis, sitting beside the be Her cold still eyes were fixed on me, looking, if ters to amuse merges more ghastly than by day, aud in ber hand she held a very bright clasp- knife, open. I was so terrified that I could neither speak nor move, but lay watching her, whilst she never took her eyes off me. Every now and then she passed her finger along the of the knife, as if to feel if it were sharp vugh, then muttering ‘ Pas encore,” Ict it again on her lap Mev amérs, { cannot tell you balf my fear. Nothing in the whole eourse of my afier-life has ever equalled the horror of that hour [ thought a prayer—I could not utter a sound; noteven a ery for help. So passed a period of time which seemed to me an eternity. At length ouce more uttering * pas encore,” she ruse, descended from the alcove, and disap- pesred in the large dark chamber; tor my light suffice! only to enlighten the recess. I fainted. When I recovered my senses it was daylight; the cold gray dawn was stealing through the jalusie: shivered, and felt so ill I could scarcely move. Atlenth my aunt's femme de chambre came to assist at my morning's toilet. and! wld her all my night's misery. She emilel incredulousty, and ubserved that— * Madempiselle must have had a disagreeable dream.

At break- fast. I told my aunt everything; but she also refused to believe it was anything but adream, “2 faney, an indigestion.” A gloom possessed my mind the whole day. Naturally, 1 was exjower, and amusing; I was wow absent, sud and dull. Madame de Verg- t, wy aunt, did not find her boudoir great- eulivened by ber youngguest. She did her Hest good lady, to divert my mind, but one docs not easily recover from such a shock of the werves it wae with inex ible horror I saw night Spproach; and at leagth. unable to bear the 4 of sleeping alone again, I supplieated my aunt to let her maid stay with me all night.

The “ Lovk, look, Agathe—she is there!” aroused sleeper rubbed her eyes, yawned heavi- 1y, and then looking lazily round, exelaimed : Mais, qu’est-ce que ¢ est, mademoiselle ?”’ I pointed im horror to the old woman. She teplied, in answer to the gesture: ‘ Jene vois gion.” == VOL. X. Could it be possible? I my hand over my eyes; when I removed it, she was gone, and overpowered hy the conviction that I had be- held a visitant from the world of spirits, I fell into & violent fit of hysterics. Agate went and called my. aunt, and related all me ener of t cause of my seizure. de Vergnier was astonished. and even angry. “The child must be a /fvlle,” she said. Bernis was alive; it could not “Madame de therefore be her ghost. She could not tell what was to be done.”’ I was too ill to leave my bed till late in the day, and I need scarcely tell you how I dread- ed returning to it. TI entreated my aunt to let me sleep in some other room, and though she was vexed at the trouble and disarrangement, she permitted it, and assigned me a dressing- Ht oa Nigra her own room, but not opening into it. Tt was small, comfortable-loeking, and re- winded me of my own littlechamber in the Rue de la Eerme des Mat burias. I hoped that here, at least, [should be at peace. But no. About midnight, that awful rustling of silk awoke me, and once more my eyes opened upon the cold gray eyes and the glittering steel; once more I heard ‘that awful whisper, * Pas eu- core.’’ Then came that long, borrid watch of both of us, followed. on my part—when again she dis- ppeared—by a sort of delirinm. Underitsin- ence, [ rose a3 soon as it was dawn, dressed myself, and stole down stairs. An old porter had just opened the hall door; I brushed hastily past him, ran down the steps, and hurrid up the avenue. I have no recollection of what followed till [found myself ina strange room and in another house. ‘A nurse was sittin by the bed-side, and a table. with medicine Sot tles, &c., testified tothe fact that I bad been very ill. I fancied I had had a horrid dream, and asked my attendant where I was, where mamma was. She uttered an exclama- tion of surprise and pleasure, and went out of the room. In « few minutes she returned with my mother, who shed tears of delight over me as she embraced me. After a time, I learned from them that I had been found insensible on the steps of my fellow-traveler's door, and re- cognizing me, he had me brought in, and sent for a doctor. The physician had found me de- lirious, and | perpen me in a brain fever, from which I bad just recovered. though every one had despaired of my life. My parents had been sent for by my aunt. as soon as she heard of my escape and discovery, and she told them had given symp'oms of ie approaching dis- ease by fancying that I was haunted by her old dame de compagn My mother added that I had never ceased crying out. during the period of my delirium, ‘“ Pas encore.”’ With a profound shudder. I heard the words, and recalled my past mental sufferings. lated my tale ® mamma, and ge of my dis- tress and annoyance—she he: tas the ravings of returning delirium, or the vision of a troubled brain’ In addition to the torture [ had en- dured, I had had to support the mortification of being heard with incredulity. ‘: But was it only a delirium?” asked Portia. You shall hear. My aunt. when I recovered, showed no wish for a renewal of my visit; nor would ail the gold in Mexico have induced me to sleep beneath her roof again; therefore my parents took me back to Paris, under the im- pression that my chance of being a rich heiress was ended. Three years afterwards came another letter from Madame de Vergnier; she wrote to apolo- gise for wy sufferings, and at the same time to acknowledge their reality. Madame de Bernis was dead. and when in extremes had sent for her benefactress; and confessed that she had actually sat beside my bed, night after night, in hopes of terrifying me away and becoming her- self my aunt’s heiress. She had bribed the femme de chambre to take partin this nefarious plot, which might have destroyed either my life or reason, and now repented of it, and ini- plored forgiveness. Madame de Vergnier was much shocked; she confronted the maid with the dying woman, and fully ascertained the truth of the confession. The woman had been dismissed without a character. and Madame de Bernis was gone to answer for her crime at a higher tribunal. We were all invited, now, to sbe chateau, and accepted the invitation. I was a little nervous the first night, but I got over it after a time, and we were all very haj py together. Madame de Vergnier left me her ‘ortune; but I think I paid a fearful price to win it. For many years afterwards, I could never hear without a shudder those (to me) awful words, ‘‘ Pas encare'”’ Srvevcar Ixcipent—A Portasre Licnt- nino Rop.—A person residing in the 20th ward bus exhibited the strangest phase of monomania out.
