The Lost Inheritance.

The train from Paris to Lyons
stopped at the station of Joisnv,
and after leaving a few passengers
again went on. The station, for =
moment crowded with railway por-
ters and lockers on, was soon de-
serted by all but two individuals.
One Of them was an old man, dress
ed in the garb of a well-to-do farmer ::
TIE other youth of about five and
twenty, who seemed to be waiting
for some one to come and meet him.
To this person the old man presently
addressed himself:

"to inquire if you are Clement B. p
''ies, my good man. replied the
youth, with haughtiness of manner,
and | have no doubt you are Mr..
Martin"
"At your service, sir, replied the
other.
well, Mr.. Martim,'' continued
Clement, in the same tone, 81 began
to imagine you intended to keep me
waiting. That would not have been
the best manner, n which to have
Instituted yourself into my good
graces.
The old man, instaad Of replying,
let his head fall upon his breast as
if in deep attiiction, and conducted
the newcomer towards large old
fashioned carriage, to which Very
rough looking horse was harnassed.
"Here is your carriage. SIR said
Martin. "If you will be good enough
to get in l will have the honor of
driving You to the Hermitage"
"lhat my carriage, sir E cried
Clement. why, | shall be taken
for a travelling pedlar.

under his charge, a letter arrived by

whom he had often heard as an &C.

whom he nad never seen, had just
died at his. residence in Burgundy,

The aid Of his sword.

Pray him he read,
His solacc III danger,
His counsel in need.

several miles, the occupants arrived
at their destination. Martin offered
the honors of the Hermitage to the
new proprietor, called all the SER
wants and introduced them to their
future master, and then conducted
the latter to his own apartments.
",This was the sleeping chamber
Of your uncle" said Martin, as they
entered large apartment, furnished
in an old fashioned style. cit was
III this room that he died ten days
ago.
But instead of evincing any emo
ton upon being shown the chamber
Of his benefactor, he threw upon all
around him look discern, and cried,
"upon my word, I can't say ! think
much of the old boys taste! new
er saw anything so very ugly in all
my life.''
Notwithstanding, sir" replied
Martin, sit is the best we have; and
if you cannot content yourself, l real

young man. "Iou do not imagine l
am SUCH a donkey, l. hope. For us
young fellows do you see, Paris is
the only place; so ! shall sell this

"Sell the hermitage % exclaimed
Martin, ''your uncle's favorite place

servants who hoped to end our days
under this roof, what is to become Of

"Mr. Martini" retorted the young
man, ''let me have none of your com

and afterwards You will drive me to
the notary's.'
After having eaton a hearty meal,
notwithstanding he found the meats
insipid an9 the wines sour, the lega-
zee, accompanied by Mr.. Martin, re-
entered the carriage and the two
started off.
"If | am not Mistaken" observed
Mr.. Clement, after an hours ride, "we
passed this spot this morning; and
that pointing to a building, is the

You alone will do so,' responded
his companion, speaking Very grave

TENNESSEE ANTI Doc LAw.-Tennessee
has Just Illustrated her sagacitsby levying
State tax of Ave dollars each upon every
Superauous dog. Householders are al
lowed to retain each one dog, buta penalty
of twenty dollars is imposed on the owner
if his dog is CONVICTED Of killing sheep.
Hereafter there will be some chance for
WOO! and mutton in Tcnnessee-tor the
farmer will not allow that law to remain
ii dead letter.
In Georgia we estimate there are about
three hundred thousand dogs; the bulk OF
them of no value in any capacity, except,
to DAY the moon and make night hideouS.
lhe expense of feeding these dogs would
make ample provision for many poor
soldiers family. and they also prevent
the rearing Of about half million sheep
). .il.ch wouiG cost little or nothing to feed
ten, and nett their owners about one
million dollars per annllln i'll wool and
meAt, both Of which are now 60 sadly
needed, besides vastly improving the
land upon VII cll they graze.
The question is now, whether dogs are
50 insci'arable to our habits and internal
"oIicy that an unlimited supply must
be maintained at this expense and sacrifice,
"r will the Legislature put in force a
vigorous enactment by which planters
md farmers can maintain their flnrks
from depreciation and destruction. We
know several planters who have been
compelled to abandon sheep raising on
account OF the dogs, and tell lis ii is
mere folly and waste Of time and pains to
lttelnpt tie business, until the duys are
lbated in some way. The Tennessee
legislature has set Georgia an example
which We would do well to iUliow.-Alacu'
