one muscle to stir another | was Il sort
of living corpse, full of mental vitality,
Of youthful aspirations, and with an ac-

vain longings for power to prove its vigor.

upon my hair with a familiar cai'essihg
motion, and Maggie's voice murmuted

echoed the sentence.
Never had | seen Maggie's face as it
was then. She war ashy pale, even the
lips colorless, and her eyes had in their
dark depths an expression of misery that
was unutterable. The little hand that
was resting on my head was heavy and
cold, and her whole frame was held erect
by an effort of will which was painfully
evident.
Suddenly while | loodcd at her. she
pressed both hands to her side with d
convulsive pressure, and threw back her
figure till the spine seemed archcd beyond
endurance. She was rigid as iron, her
face ghasly, her eyes staring wildly, and
every nerve drawn in agony, and could
not stir to aid her. | should have called

tell it, the convusion was over and she

my hair. Yet | could see the shadow of
a great pain on the face that was lifted

"Tcli me, Maggie, what caused the

Could man sentenced to death speak
his own doom quietly. Our Maggie
with all her seIf-contro, could not speak
Of her hearts dcath-bow without Il shiv-
cr running through her whole frame.
"Sent Walter away" | cried aghast.
'Iour chosen husband. Oh, Maggie,
how could you!"
''lIow "ould ! do otherwise !" she said
speaking in low tones full of meaning. -
"His life must not pass waiting for a
wife who may never come to him."
''l'ut, Maggie, you can in time"
''Never," she said, firmly. 81 can

sank to pleading tremor; ''pray for me

my cross"

RE-TorCHED TIE PICTURE young
Patlsan artist lately painted a portrait OF
Il duchess, with which her friends were
not satisfied, declaring that it was Totally
unlike. The painter proposed that the
question OF resemblance should be left to
Il little dog belonging TO the duchess,
which was agreed TO. Accordingly the
picture was sent TO the hotel OF the lady,
the next day, and Il large party assembled
TO witness the test. The dog was called
in, and no sooner did he see the portrait
than he licked 1t all over. and showed ev-
cry demonstration of joy. The triumph
Of the pa ntcr was complete. and all pres

Power OF IlUNpUG.-An individual
who opened a small tavern near the field
Of Waterloo was frequently questioned as
to whether he did or did not possess some
relics Oft battle, and he invariably and
honestly answered in the negative.
But he was very poor; and one daJ
while lamcn!ing to 4 ncighbor not only
his poverty, hut the annoyance TO which
travellers subjected him, his friend cut
him short with
"Well,make one help the other make
some relics"
"But what can do ?" inquired the
poor man.
"rcll them that Napoleon or yelling
ton entered your shop during the battle,
and sat down in that chair"
Not lrng after an English tourist enter
ed the tavern, and, inquiring for relics,
was told the chair story. The chair was
bought at an incredible price, The next
conner was informed that Wellington had
taken Il drink, and the Wellington tum-
bier WIS accordingly sold. The third ar
rival gazed with breathless wonder at the
nail on which Bonaparte had hung his
hat; the fourth purchased the door-posts
between which he had entered; and tho
fifth became the happy purchaser of tho
floor on which lie had iroddcn,
At the LIST adyices the fortunate tav-
crn-keeper had not a roof TO cover his
head, and was sitting on n bag Of gold in
the corner Of a deep pit formed 10y selling
the earth ON which the house had stood.
