become my wife and your sentence shall
be revoked.
The Countess shuddered; her aristo-
cratic instincts gave her disgust and loath-
ing at the idea of such union-but the
love of life in one so young and beautiful
overcame other scruples, and she MUIR
INJURED, "But, my husband -" But
that was no objection in those days. The
Counts emigration had classed him
among the legally dead, and divorce
from this travelling corpse could be had
for the asking for-and so in few days
the beautiful Countess Maurey, preserving
her fortune as Mademoiselle de, Lantivy,
became the wife of Citizen Daviere; for
the handsome young monk Of Fontevrault,
the pious confessor of Buron, the humble
village priest of Aze, the jailor of the
prison Of Laval, had become no other
than the Citizen Daviere.
One son was born of this marriage
He is now an old man, being born in
1895. He has been called from his child
hood Daviere de Lantivy, and the present
suit is instituted against him ami his
family, for bearing the name, by Counts
de Lantivy, who, having been what they
Gull defrauded Of their rightful inher-
itance by the carrying away of the dowry
of the Countess de Maurey-which would
have returned to the Lantivys if she had
not married Daviere-think it very hard
that the name ITSELF as we'll as the money,
should likewise have passed to the un-
skirted monk of Fontevrault. The case
is q very difficult one to judge at the
Paris bar, as one of the most exalted
of its members stands in precisely the
| same position as the son of Daviere, the
monk, and the decision now about to be
given may expose him to the same liability
of attack by the relations of his mother,
whose name he bears. This case is
watched with the greatest interest, for if
carried for Judgment to a higher tribunal,
it will most likely be submitted to the
verdict of that very authority, whose
name is European, whose power is un-
bounded in questions Of law, and who
will thereby establish precedent, who
may condemn his children, if not him
self, to the same humiliation as that, per-
haps, in preparation for Daviere de Ian
| ivy.

l wish had dozen pairs
or hands, this very minute;
I'd soon put all these things to rights
The very deuce is In II.
Here's big washing to be done,
One pair OF hands to do it,
Sheets, shirts and stockings, coats and pants;
How will Ie'er got through it'
Dinner to got for six or more,
No loaf left DER from Sunday,
And baby cross as he can live
he always Is on Monday.
And there's the cream, it's getting sour,
And must forthwith be churnihg,
And here's Bob, wants abutton on
Which way shall be turning?
IT'S timo the meat was In thu rot,
The bread was worked for baking
The clothes were taken from he boil
oh dearl the baby's wakinsl
Hush, baby, dearl there; hush-sh .shl
wish he'd sleep little,
Till could run and get some wood
To hurry up that kettle.
Oh dearl oh dear! il P comes home,
And finds things in this pother,
Hell Just begin and tell me all
About this tidy mother.
How nice her kitchen used to be,
Her dinner always ready
Exactly when the noon.bell rang
Lush, hush, dear little Freddy.
And then will coma some some hasty word,
Right out, before I'm thinking
They say that hasty words from wives
Set sober men to drinking.
Now isn't that great idea,
That men should take to SHINING
Because a weary, half-sck wife
CANT always smile 30 winning?
When was young, used to earn
My living without trouble,
Had clothes, and pock etmoney, too,
And hours OF leisure double
never dreamed Of such fate,
When /, A-LAssl was courted-
Wife, mother, nurse, seamstrcss, cook, house

How Poor Bow Became a Merchant

How a Poor Boy Became Merchant
Children, and older persons as well
ought always to speak the truth, from a
love Of doing ght and a loathing Of
wrong. But it sometimes strengthens
upright aims to know that honesty is the
best policy, and one who uniformly ad
heres to the truth is certain in the end to
prosper. The following story from the
New York Chronicle has moral for our
young readers:
Two country lads came at an early
hour to Q market town, and arranging
their little stands sat down to wait fol
customers. One was furnished with
fruits and vegetables of the boys own
raising and the other with CLANS and
isn. The hours passed along, and each
little merchan. saw with pleasure his
stores steadily decreasing, and an equiva
lent in silver bits shining in his little
money.cup THE last melon lay on
Harry stand when a gentleman came by,
and placing his hand upon it, said, "What
u fine large melon. think l must have
this for my dinner. What do you ask
for it my boy?"
"The melon is the last I have, sir, and
though it looks very fair, there is an un-
sound spot on the other side" said the
boy, turning it over.
$50 there is, said the man, II think
will not take it. But" he added, looking
into the boys fine open countenanoe, "is
it very business-like to point out the
defects of your fruit to customers 2'
"lt is better than being dishonest, sir"
said the boy, modestly
"You are right, my little fellow; always
remember that principle, and you will
find favor with God and man also. You
have nothing else l wish for this morning,
but shall remember your little stand in
the future. Are those clans fresh p he
continued, turning to Ben Wilson's stand.
"Yes, sir; fresh thismorning Icaught
them myself" was the reply; and pur-
chase being made, the gentleman went
his way.
Harry, what fool you was to show
the spot in the melon. Now you can
take it home for your pains, or throw it
away. How much wiser is he about
those clans | caught Yesterday. Sold
them at the same price | did the fresh
