INTERESTING MISCELLANY.
THE BARON'S DAUGHTER.
AN AFFECTING SCRAP OF FRENCH HISTORY.


Church of st. Mederic, or, as it is now
called, St. Merry, which stands upon the
corner where the dirty Rue DIES Lombards
crosses the Rue ST. Martin, corner round
which more blood was split in the days Of
the last revolution than in almost any ether

bic lords and ladies came to say their pray
ers at the shrine of St. Mcdcrec.

he had STAYED later than was his wont, i'll
confessional box, when he was reused by
the rusting of a dress just beside him; turn
ing his eyes to the grating to which he had
listened to the confessions of his back-sd
den people, he saw the delicate, cwelled
hand of lady clinging TO the bars. The
Able put his head nearer the grating to see
who was the owner Of the fair hand. lie
saw a light, graceful form, and presently
met the eyes, bending earnestly on his own,
