His life had passed in the counting house.Aglae thought not of qualité atiocs.The youth want-eJ employment, and she could offer him a place.Julian was immediately invested with the suj-er-iutendence of the parks and gardens at Vaudou.The generous mind cannot rest inactive under the sense of kindness.With Julian the ardor to return the obligation grew into a passion which absotbed every other.It was his aim by day, his dream by maht.He watched young Aglat as she roved , if she paused to dwell upon the beauty of any flower, or to r joice in its j>er-tunie, the favurile flower was sure presently to meet In r view at every turn.In rambling through the paik one evening, Julian heard Aglae shriek.He darted to the spot.A brier had torn his lowly benefactress, and Julun saw blo^d streaming Irom her foot.Ere three nays it was all over with th** briers ; not one remained m the puk ol Vaudn ; and as Julian was u more blest than others with the jsjw.r of curbing the spirit of destruction when once ttie wing, no plant or bush which bore a thorn, not ewn the holly itself, escaped the general proscnj>tiou.The Count de \\ ermanton wa.certainly concerned at the accident ol his betrothed ; but he was almost as much so at the change which it had wrought in the paik ot V&udoti, and felt highly incensed at Julian as the cause.The taart-meut.\u201cSit down, my child ; I have ill-tiding» lor you, but 1 trust your affection for your lather, and a sense of yuUi own dignity will >.u»tain you under them, and make you >le»pire the fool who treats you so contemptuously.\" \u201c What is it you mean f ' \" Your beitothed, the Count de Vermanton, dt»clairuN hi» vow», and renounces your hand.\" ** Does he, indeed !\" e Xclaimed the delighted girl, darling from h> r chair and n|>nnging into her lather\u2019» arms.\" Dœ» he indeed renounce T Oh ! blessed, ble*.»*-d Irew» *' How I» this, child ?\t1 do not understand you.You lov«d him, did you not f\" \u201c V-y-yea, I tor a long while thought I did, but when 1 saw what violent pieaaloiis he flew into against you whenevei you and he got into your aigum* ut» at»out j-olitn »-\" \u201c (rood girl !\u201d And she instantly liurn-d ba k to her p-a tient.\u201cA terrible business ha» just !iap>|-*-n-l,\" said she to him, the an.lie »tltl oil her li]i, »nd her ey-8 Still exulting.He learned all.Mild with sympiathetic ra|>ture Ire al»o exclaimed : \u201c Ub, blessed news !\" Meanwhile tire illness ol Julian took an alarming turn.Such frequent excitement irritated ht» wound» ; !ii« blood became more and more inflamed, the interval» ol tep«>»e irom feverdiunshed daily, and at length ceased altogether.Till then the d-a-tor, with tire customary piiudenceoi his lirotess.on, had abstained Irom giving any decided opinion ; hut wneu everybody saw h-.w the ca-e stood.Ire ventured to tell what everybody km-w that Julian w»» in danger.AgUe is wrought up to the extreme of woe.Nothing will induce her to quit Junun'» bedside.Her tear» at once taught him her« u-dition and his own.In one of hi» »rveie»t nights, a» lie start» d irom his sleep, with agony, the lover of Aglne saw her ill a ptaasiou of leant, kneeling at the loot of hia bed and p.raying \" 1 am aware now how it i» with no,\" said he to her.\u201c All hope in over.Diy up.your team.Hapqune»» was not to la- my lot on earth.Even had 1 recovered I shoulu have spn-edily been fotced to a greater sat nhee than file 1 »liould have been required to-\" Then checking him»- ll, he cried : \u201c Ah ! if death indeed makes all equal, Aglae, I uie\u2014uo\u2014you shall not be left untold.*\u2019 \" Hush ?\" said sire, p'acing her trembling linger on his hpm -\u201chush !
