MISCELLANY.
Translated from the French by D. L. Dalton
The Spiuster of Evrecy.

~ ll.i'END.
Towards the close of the eighteenth centu-
ry there lived at Evrccy, in Normandy, a
rich nobeman, His only living relation was
Il daughter about ten years old. Her name
was Yvouctte. He had a faithful old dpmcs-
tic whose namH was Bcraptte, though she
wa9 generally known in the ncighborhood as
the Spinster Of Evrccy, MS she always carried
| Il distatt by her side She was fond of her
occupation of spinning; and generally worked
at ii ,".t.t;.'J t"":n morning till night and
sometimes from night till morning. Her
master was great spcndthrift, aud lived be-
you'd his income. The number of his credi-
tors increased rapidly, but this gave him no
concern. His only ambition seemed to be
that his cpitaph should tell that he had taken
the world easy. After spending given
amount in fine eating, he thought the account
ought to be balanced by cxpcditure of a
like sum in fine drinking and in this course
of life he took the more pleasure, as he wished
to demonstrate to his friends that he had no
fear Of running TO ruin.
Apart from this improviicncc he was a
man of excellent good nature. He loved his
child with Il most tender affection, and was
very kind to the old servant
Finally he become bankrupt. lie exhaust

of the way Of his annoying creditors
The grave had scarcely closed upon his
mortal remains, when the remorselcss claim
ants came accompanied by the proper officer,
to seize upon his effects. The furniture was
sold under the hammer, and the fields,
meadows, and orchards parceled out. A rich
retired merchant, who had just purchased for
himself title of nobility, bought the resi-
dcncc, and Immediately moved into it.
There being new occupant, Bcrtaudc must
vacatc the premises. She banded up hcc
| things, and those of Nvonettc, took her dis
tail and spindle, and went to take leave Of
the proprietor. Seeing the little girl, whom
she held by the hand, he asked if she was
going to take the child to some of its rela-
tons
Alas, no =, replied Bertaudc as she wiped
the tears from her eyes with the corner of her
apron, "the poor little creature has no rela-
tons

No MARROW IN HIS Bones. Tho man
who has no enemies is mere drone in the
great hive of created intelligence. He is a
milk and wator man who contents himself
with doing no harm while it is notorious he
is doing no good. Such men are time-served
fence-rding go-bctwccns, who creep after men
of position and property, and hypocriticaly
bow to men in the humble walks of life, take
no part in public sentiment, and smile and
snrk upon all they come in contact WITH
They glide through life undisturbcd, and
sink to obscure graves, unwcpt, unhonored
and ung.-Erchange
Exactly so-the man who has no enemies
is gcnerallya "poor sbote without nerve
enough to sny that his soul is his own, aud
is very apt to have no friends. We rather
like the man who has enemies. In nine
cases out of ten it is his sterling qualities
that makes them for him.-lliainc Aryus.
