which originally appeared in the Courier

The Count de st. Croix, belonging TO one
of the noblegt and wealthiest families in
France, became engaged, after long and
assiduons courtship. to lady, bis equal ln
position and fortune, and famous Tor her
beauty. Shortly after the happy day was
appointed which was to render two loving
hearts one, the Count was ordered immedi-
ately to the siege Of Sebaatopol.
SO he girded on bis sabre, and at The
head of the regiment marched to the battle
field. During his absence, it happened that
bis beautiful fdncce contracted the small
pox, and. after lowering between life and
death for many days, recovered her health,
to find her beauty hopelessy lost. The dis
ease had assumed, in her case, the most ylr-
ulent character, and left her not only dis
figured but scanned and Scared to such q
frightful extent that she became hideous to
herself aud resolved to pass the remainder
Of her days in the slrictcst secluslon. a
year passed away, when one day the Count
Immediately upon bis return to France, ac-
companed by his valet, presented himself

ted an interview.
This was refused. He, however, with the
persistence OF lover. pressed bis suit, and
finally the lady made her appearance. close
ly mullled in n double veil. AT the sound
Of her voice the Count rushed forward to
embrace her; but stepping aside she trem-
blingly told him the story Of her sorrows,
and burst into tears. A heavenly smile
broke over the Counts handsome features,
as raising bis hands above, he exclaimed,

1t was even so. When gallantly leading
his regiment TO the attack, cannon ball
passed so close to his eyes that while IL left
their expression unchanged and his counte-
nance unmarked had robbed him forever
of his sight. 1t Is almost unnecessary to
add that their marriage was shortly after
ward solcmnzed IL is said that at this day
may often be seen at the Emperor's recep-
tons, an officer leauing upon the arm Of a
lady closely yelled, who seemed to bo at

Boa CONSTRUCTOR BooTs.--At the last
meeting of the French Academy of Sciences
Dr.. Jules Cloquet produced pair of boots
made of the tanned skin of boa-constric-
tor. This material is remarkably strong
aud supple; the scales have preserved their
natural imbricaton aud color. after the
process of tanning, and the inside of the
skin displays tho marks Of the scales in al
iernatc relefs and depressions. Or. Clo-
1uet observed that il would be desirable to
make further attempts to introduce the
skins of the Inferior vertebrate into trade,
seeing that as to thickness and. durability,
hey decidedly offer greater advantages
than those of the superior classes.
