HINTS TO OMARRIAGEABLE YOUNG
LADIES.
BY EUGENE GUINUT.

BY EUGENE GUINOT.
MAdemoisele Armande N. is a charm
ing young person. with dowry Of eighty
thousand francs. This fortune allows her
to aspire to the hand Of provincial law
yer. but Armande has for her aunt and a
godmoLher very ambitious lady. who
promises her a more brilliant match.
My niece said the good lady 'is
made to marry a great lord; only he
must be sought for. But know where
these good matches are to be found
Where, then?'
In Germany, at the baths, at those
summer resorts, which are the rendezvous
of the beau monde Of all countries. l.,
who am telling you about it, went to
these waters twenty years ago-I was
not as pretty as my niece. and l might
have been a duchess. if unfortunately,
had not been married.
The good lady wishes to realize her
dream. She carried her niece beyond
the Rhine. to watering place which is
beloved by the fashionable world.
Miss Armande had great success. Her
aunt had spared no expense to make her
shine; and the lady was dressed like the
toilet added to her graces their elegance
and their splendor. She changed her
dresses twice day. She was quoted as
the pearl of fne ladies, she was admired,
surrounded, and proclaimed the queen OF
the season.
But the triumphs, hattering as they
were, did not attain the serious end which
had been proposed. Armande found
partners and admirers in crowds, but no
husband. Her remarkable beauty and
exquisite grace had, however. made more
than one conquest, and among others
had touched the heart OF young Parish
an, NJ Rene de G but the young man,
Justly alarmed at tho luxury and the
great style Of Armande had informed him
self of her dowry. They had told him il
was eighty thousand francs.
The sum seemed to him disproportion.
ate TO the splendor of the young lady,
and he said to himself with sigh;
IL is, too little. My forty thousand
pounds capital will not be enough to sat
isfy the e1travagant tastes, and pay fol
the toilets Of such lavish LADY,
NJ. Rene resigned himself, therefore t
conceal his sentiments. and sadly stood a
side.
After six weeks of hollow glory, AR
mande left the waters with her aunt VIII
had exhausted all her savings in yail
attempt.
At the beginning of the month of Sep
tember. NJ. Rene found himself in the en-
virons Of L.. at the house Of one Of. hi
friends. Going one morning to make
visit in the nsighborhood, he perceive,

A TALE OF TERRoR.-The followint
rather marvellous story is told by one Of
the Vienna journals:
.As farmer of 0rsinoyi, near that
city, was returning from market. he stop.
ped at a road>sid public house, and i'm.
prudently showed the inn. keeper large
sum which he had received. In tho
night the innkeeper, armed with poniard
stole into the farmers chamber. and pre-.
pared to stab him; but the farmer, who,
from the mans manner at supper. con.
vinced suspicious Of foul play, had thrown
himself, fully dressed, on tie bed with>
out going to sleep. and being a powerful
man be wrested the poniard from the 9TH
er, and using it against, laid him dead at
his feet, A few moments after, he heard
stones thrown at the window. and voice
which he recognized as that. Of the inn.
keepers son. said: The grave is resdyp
This proved to bim that the father and
son had planned his murder, and, to avoid
detection, had intended burying the
dead body at once. He thereupon wrap.
ped the dead body in sheet and lot it
down from the window; be then ran 10
the gendarmie and stated what had oc-
CURED. Three gendarmes Immediately
accompanied him to the house, and found
the young man busily engaged in shovel
ing earth into a grave. what are you
burying?' said they. Only horse.
which has just diedP you are mista.
KEN answered one of them. jumping in,
to the grave and raising the corpse.
'LookI and be held up lantern to the
face Of the deceased. 'S' Good Godl' cried
the young man, thunderstruck, 1T is my
father!' He was then arrested. and at
once confessed all.

BEAur1ruL.-The following beautiful
lines are from the pen of George D. Prem
tice:
clouds come over us with beauty that
is not of earth, and then pass away and
leave us TO muse upon the beauty Of fa>
ded loyeliness 7? Why is it that the stars
hold their nightly festival around the
midnight throne. and placed above the
reach of our limited faculties, forever
mock us with their unapproachable glory?
And why is it that the bright forms oi
human beauty are presented TO our view
and then taken from Us. leaving the thou
ssud streams of afiietion to flow back IN
mighty torrents upon the human hsart!
We are born for higher destiny thar
that of earth. There IS land where the
stars will be set before us Ike island.

the beautiful beings that pass before Vi
