Mon D;euP cried Pere Antoine, and
is it palm?'
yes. indeed returned the man. i
had no idea the tree would flourish in
this climate.
Mon DiexP was all the priest could
say.
If Pere Antoine loved the tree be-
fore, he worshipped it now. He wa
tered il, and nurtured it, and could have
clssped it in his arms. Here were
Emile and Angiiee and the child all in
onel
The years few by, and the date-palm
and the priest grew together,-only one
became vigorous and the other feeble.
Pere Antoine had long passed the meri-
dian Of life. The tree was in its youth.
It no longer stood in the isolated gar
den; for homely brick and wooden
houses had clustered about Antoine's
cottage. They looked down scowling
on the BUNDLED thatched roof. The
city was edging mp, trying to crowd
him of bis land. But he cluug TO it,
and wouldn't sell. Spectators piled
gold on his doorstep, and he laughed
at them. Sometimes he was hungry,
but he laughed none the less.
Get thee behind me, Satan!' said the
old priests smile.
Pere Antoine was very old now,
scarcely able to walk; but be could
sit under the plant, caressing leaves Of
his tree, and there he sat until the grim
NEST Of spectators came to him. But
even in death Pere Antoine was faithful
to his trust. The owner of that land
loses it, il he harms the date-tree.
And there it stands in the narrow,
dingy street, beautiful dreamy strsn-
ger. an exquisite foreign lady whose
grace is joy to the eye, the incense of
whose breath makes the air enamored.
A precious boon is she to the wretched
city; and when the loyal men again
walk those streets, may the hand wither
that touches her ungentlyl
Because it grew from the heart OF
little Anglice,' said Miss Badeau, ten
derby.

was no relenting in his determined
face-he had no pity. Surged up then
to her brain, with dull, waving sound
in her ears, the quickened tide OF blood.
She seemed fainting, dying; when sud-
denly. amidst the Whirl and confusion
of her faculties, she found that she was
listening to s sound growing nearer
and louder every moment: the quick
gallop Of the horses; the creaking OF
the gates; the loud echo Of hoofs along
the carrisge-road.
Gomez urged Raymond with an
oath.
Her answer was long and thrilling
shrek. Shouts and voices responded
from without. They were laundering
at the door-locked alas! and quite
strong enough to withstand a lengthy
siege. Some one called her:
Lutte! in Gods name where are
you?'
1t was Jacks voice! She answered
with second shrek, as Raymond tried
to drag her toward the door. They
were coming around the house. There
was a jingle and crash Of broken
glass as a window was dashed in, and
then sprang into the room men in the
welcome Federal uniform, with swords
and revOlvers drawn.

To KEEP BUGs FROM VISEs.--A
correspondent Of the American Agri-
culturist gives this remedy for protect
ing melons and other vines from bugs:
Take common cotton batting, sepa-
rate it into very thin layers, and spread
over the plants as soon as they appear,
putting little dirt on each corner to
prevent the wind from blowing it off,
He has tried it for several years with
success. The plants may attain consid-
cradle size before removing the cotton.
The cotton does not interfere with light
or moisture. Scientific american.

LEARN TO TIE LAsT.-Socrstes at an
extreme age learned to play on musical
instruments, for the purpose Of resist
ing the wear and tear of old age.
Cato, at eighty years Of age. thought
proper to learn the Greek language.
Plutarch, when between seventy and
eighty, commenced the study Of Latin.
Boccaccio was thirty-fve years OF
age when he commenced his studies in
polite literature, yet he became one of
the three great masters of the Tuscan
dialect, Dante and Petrarch being the
other two. There are many among US
ten years younger than Boccaccio. who
are dying of ennui, and regret that
they were not educated to a taste for
literature, but now they are too old.
Sir Henry Spelman neglected the
sciences in his youth, but commenced
the study of them when he was between
fifty and sixty years of age. After
this time he became a most learned an
tiquarian and lawyer. Our young men
begin to think of lying their seniors on
the shelf when they have reached sixty
years Of age. How different the pres
ent estimate put upon experience from
that which characterized a certain peri
cd of the Grecian republic, when a man
was not allowed 10 open his mouth in
political meetings who was under forty
years Of age.
Colbert the famous French minister,
at sixty years Of age returned to his
Latin and law studies. How many of
our college-lesrned men have ever
looked into their classics since their
graduation.
Ludovico, ct the age Of l15 wrote
the memoirs OF his own times. A sim
gular exertion. noticed by Voltsire, who
was himself one Of the most remarka-
ble instances Of the progress Of age in
new studies.
Ogilby, the translator Of Homer and
Virgil. was unscquainted with Latin
and Greek till he was past 6fty.
Franklin did not fully commence his
philosophical pursuits till he had reach
ed his fiftieth year. How many
among US Of thirty, forty, and 6fty,
who read nothing but newspapers for
the want Of taste for natural philoso-
ply. But they are too oldto learn.
Accorso. a great lawyer, being ask
ed why he began the study of laws so
late, answered that indeed he began it
late, but he should therefore master it |
the sooner. This agrees with our theo-
ry, that healthy old age gives the man
the power of accomplishing difficult
study in much less time than would be
necessary to one uf half bis years.
Dryden, in bis sixty-eigbtb year
commenced the translation Of the Illiad;
and his most pleasing productions were
written in his old age.
We could 60 on and cite thousands
Of examples Of men who commenced
new study and struck out into an en-.
tirely new pursuit, either for livelihood
or amusement, at an advanced age
But every one familiar with the blog-
raphy Of distinguished men will reeol-
lect individual cases enough to con.
vince him that none but the sick and
iDdoIent will ever say, Tam TOO Old Ito

Lutte.
A STORY OF THE PRESENT REBELLION.

Floated out on the fragrant air the
waltz'music, burning, delirious. The
rich bloom on Lute's clear brown cheek
deepened into the red Of wet coral, or
the fuschias that burned in the snow
of her dress and dropped among her
broad black braids, and the long eye
lashes fell with a sudden sweep to
hide the pleasure flashing too brightly
in her lustrous eyes.
Jack Centyre's name was on line
with the "Gunst Werber" on her tab
lets. He was coming across the room
to claim her hand, and she tangled the
chains Of her fan and her boquet-hold-
er inextricably together. The liking
of a year could no longer be masked
by cold tones and words. 1t struggled
about her mouth, looked shyly from
her downcast eyes; spoke in the very
tremor of the little hand resting in his
as they glided off into the wild music
groaning, quivering, and whirling
about them, making itself one with
motion, and part of the thrill and
shuddered delight pulsing their every
vein.
In the center of the brilliant rooms
he bent low his handsome head till his
bright hair touched her glowing cheek
and whispered,
Farewell, lovep
Lutte looked up aghast; her eyes
met his full of tenderness and warning.
The music tainted, died almost away.
AS l was saying went on Jack
steadily, This wsltz-beat is noticeable
in ALL. --.
II bursts out again; his voice sunk
low, his lips murmered close in her
ear,

Another whirl and rush OF music;
then Lute's voice, faint and trembling,
'Leavel for what?'
For our country, Lute-for the Stars
and Stripes-for the UnionP
He frightened his grasp as he spoke,
for she seemed falling. Another turn
took them within the arch of the conser-
vatory door. A fall Of fleecy curtains
separated them from the glaring. heat
ed rooms. and the faint rays streaming
from a single globe Of ground glass
alone did battle with its shadows. He
drew her into its dimmest corner, still
holding her fast. She struggled slight
ly, with timid hands tried Intellectually
to free herself from his firm clasp, then
dropped her face, crimson even in the
darkness, low, lower, till it was hidden
quite on his shoulder.
Two hours later I shall be flying
like felon, travelling in the darkness,
hiding by day, hunted down, perhaps,
like dog or slave he said hurriedly.
Think how little heart I had for this;
but I could not go without saying good.
