O! no; if you have been so chosen to fulfil it, you will be preserved through difficulty and danger until you have worked out your end. You will be preserved, and you will again and again return; be comforted consoled be cherished and be loved by Amine as your wife. And when it pleases Him to call you from this world, your memory, if she survive you, Philip, will equally be cherished in her bosom.

Young man, young man, what would thy honest father, what would his bosom friend, my own poor brother Harry, have said, had it pleased God that they had survived to witness this burning shame and lasting stigma on thy respectable name?" "Had my father lived, he would now have been upholding the independence of his native land," said the young man, proudly.

Heaven we might hope to reach upon the wings of spirit when we died, but to that country how could we come? We watched that great moon climb higher and higher up a ladder of little bar-like clouds, till wearying we let our eyes fall upon the glittering pathway which its light made upon the bosom of the placid sea. Suddenly Kari stared and stared. "What is it?" I asked idly.

I walked to Civita Vecchia, and to-night found myself at your door. Such, signora, is my sad history. I have told you the whole truth. You see I am not altogether to blame." As Annunziata concluded, the Countess of Monte-Cristo drew her upon her bosom.

"Do you indeed?" said the enraptured bosom, ogling him. "You would be a friend, now! I hope you don't object to a lady joining you now and then. Champagne's my folly."

Then he saw they were in a fit state for his plots, and thought that here was a chance offered to do his purpose.

There was a puff of smoke, a sharp report, and convict 317 was seen to throw up his arms and fall. When the guards reached the spot where they thought he had fallen, he was nowhere to be seen.
