Upon inaking @ more minute in- spection of the locality he discovered that the angelic voice which had attracted his attention was none other than that of a modest, bashful young country girl, not more than eleven years of age, who was chanthig one of her favorite airs as she mechanically pursued her dally routine of business.

As he had surmised, he found the family in indi- gent circumstances, and proposed to educate the daughter and provide for her maimtenance. The proposition was at first rejected, but upon the count’s picturing to them the benefits likely to accrue from such @ course on account of his wealth and station, they reluctantly consented, and it was then that Madamoiselle Nadejeda Levitskaja became the protégé of Dmitri d’Agrenef, “gentuhomme Russe, leutenant, chevalier,” &c.
