The correspondent of the New Or.

At this season one hears almost every

into possession of a rural residence fur

for giving party. A brilliant fes tival

the Fou tain bleau railway; and as It was
rather more form al than most of the, en-
tertainm ents given at this season of the
year, the ladies were all in full dress
Among the guests was a brilliant young
wife from Normandy. At two O'Clock

lodge to return to Paris, and as she EoEo-
one of the steel cages and the number
of petticoats now fashionable, she oecu-
pied the carriage alone; there was mot
room in it for another, and her husband
followed in brougham. At three o.
clock In the morning they reached Paris;
her husband got out of the brougham
and opened the carriage door, calling
heri pauline Pauline! here We are

called again aud louder than before, and
he shook her by the shoulder. It, was

She had been suffering from an affection
of the heart, but the doctors said it was

gay bali attire, with flowers oa her4head
and rouge on her cheeks, death had

Paternal Duty.

A WRITER in the London Leisure
Hour makes the following remarks,
which are as full of tauth as they are of
good common sense:
The father who plunges into business
so deeply that he has no leisure for do
mestic duties and pleasures, and whose
only Intercourse with his children con-
sists in brief word of authority, or a
surly lamentation over their intolerable
expensiveuess, is equally to be pitied and
to be blamed. What right has be to de-
vote to other pursuits the time which
God has allotted to his children? Nor
is it an excuse to say that he can not sup.
port his family in their present style Of
living without this effort. I ask. by
what right can his family demand to live
10 manner which requires him to neg
lect his most solemn and important du
ties? Nor is it ah excuse to say that be
wishes to leave them a competence Is
he under obligation to leave them that
competence which he desires? Is it all
advantage to be relieved from the neees
sity of labor? Besides, is money the on.
ly desirable bcquest which father can
leave to his children? Surely, well cult
waited intellects; hearts sensible to do
mestic affection, the love of pareLts, of
brethren, and sisters; taste for home
pleasures; habits of order, regularity,
and industry; hatred of vice and vicious
men, and lively sensibility to the ex-
cellence of virtue, are as valuable le-
gacy as an inheritance Of property, sim
pie property, purchased by the loss of
every habit which would render that
property a blessing. -

time at the hotel, we took up our line

Pizarro himself, aud which has not tin-
dergone any repairs since. So old is
the stone, that it is quite polished in

THE HUNDRED, DOLLAR BILL
BY ANsoN B. CLIFFORD.

Mr. John Somers was a Merchant
doing business in thriving country vii
lage. He had two clerks in his employ
both of them faithful aud industrious
but with some difference in minor points
of character. Peter White was twenty
two years of age, the child of now
widow ed mother, and in his choice of a
profession he had only been governed
by the desire to yield to his mother and
self the surest means of honest support.
| Walter Sturgis was of the same age,
and equally as honest, but he paid more
attention TO the outward appearance of
things, than did his companion. For in
stance, it CALLED him to be obliged to
put on his frock and overalls, aud aelp
pack up pork, potatoes, aud so on while
Peter cared not what he did 80 long as
his master required it, and it was hon.

One day, Mr.. Somers called the two
young lien into his counting room, and
closed the door after them. His counte.
nance looked troubled, and it was some
moments before he spoke.

they promised solemnly that those notes

amount of seven thousand dollars. /

business. Everything in the store is at

you about one hundred dollars each
Now L have just one hundred dollars in
money, ana the small piece of land on
the side of the hill just back of the
town house. There are four acres of
this land, and 1 have been offered a
hundred dollars for it repeatedly, by
those who have land adjoining. 1 fear
ed this blow, which has come upon me,
and conveyed this land to my brother;
SO now he can convey it to whom he
pleases. Now wish you would make
your choice. If l could pay you both
in money l would, but as | cannot, one
of you must take this land. What say
you? You, Walter, have been with me
the longest, aud you shall say first"
Walter Sturgis hesitated some mo-
ments, and then said =
I'm sure l don't want the land un-
less could sell it right off"
"Ah, but that won't do" returned
Mr.. Somers. "If you take the land
you must keep it. Were you to sell it,
my creditors would say at once you did
it for me; and that pocketed the mouey.
"Then am willing to divide the hun.
dred dollars ith Peter, for if 1 bad the
land 1 could do nothing with it."
"Oh you need not divide the money,
for can easily raise the hundred dol
lars on the land. My brother will do
that. But 1 imagined that you would
prefer the land, for ] knew the soil was
good though quite rocky. However,

MoNUMBNrs.-Tombs are the clothes
of the dead; grave is but plain suit,
and rich monument is one embroidered.
Tom bs ought in some sort to be proper
toned, not to the wealth, but to the de-
serts of the party inferred The short
est, plainest, aud truest epitaphs are
best. When passenger sees chron-
icle written on a tomb, he takes it in
trust some great men lies buried there,
without taking pains to examine who it
is. also say the plainest, for except the
sense lie above ground, few will trouble
themselves to dig for it. Lastly, it must
be true, not as in some monuments,
where the red veins in the marble may
seem to blush at the falsehood written
on it. He was a witty man that first
taught stone to speak, but he was a
wicked man that taught it first to lie. A
good memory is the best monument; 9th g.

we know that the pyramids themselves,
doting with age, have forgotten the pow
