A Fast Story.

An Englishman was Dragging of the

Yankee traveller seated at his side, in
one of the cars Of u "fast train in
England. The engine bell was rung
as the cars reared station. 1t sug-

of taking down his companion peg

"What's that noise y innocently

the Englishman; "they have to com

America yet? p
"Why, yes" replied the Yankee,
we've got bells, but can't use them on

has recently been at war with num-
Der of German States, and having un-
friendly relations with number of
European powers, is connected by
marriage with the rulers of many 9TH

the wife of Prince Charles of Prussia is
another sister of the Grand Duke.
The Grand Duke of Mecklenberg-
Schwerin is the son of Princess of
Prussia, whilst the wife of the late
King of Pnssia was a daughter of King
Macmillan / of Bavaria. Russia has
also formed many alliances with tho
German Princes. Besides the rela-
tionships with Prussia, mentioned
above the first wife of Prince Freder
lex of Hesse was daughter of Gar
Nicholas The Grand Duke of Mas
san married niece of Nicholas. Tho
wife of Grand Duke Michel of Russia

She remained there an hour; then,
with her boquet, took her place at the

porch Antolnette stepped forward:

And she put the flowers into the
brides fingers.
The lady received them with a
smile, and they were in her bosom
when she knelt at the altar. She had
never heard Of Antoinette, and the
gift and the speech pleased her. Be
sides, at that day the flowers had ney-
er been called Brides Death" but
only Brides Beauty.
The ceremony went on--tho holy
words were uttered 1t was time for
the bride to rise, but she did not
move.
The priest spoke to her in vain. The
bridegroom bent over her
"She has tainted = he cried and the
group Of friends pressed about the
beautiful girl
They lifted her and bore her to the
air Alas she had not tainted. She
was dead
The CONSERVATION was great The
excitement spread to the peasants at
the porch. They who knew the story
of Antoinette's sighted love began to
speak of the flowers. Until then they
had lain in the dead brides bosom.
Now a celebrated physician stepped
forward to remove them. As he did
so, strange, subtle aroma struck his
senses, and he flung them from him

President of the road"
"Are you sure Of that?' replied the
conductor, trying to conceal his agita-
ton.
II know him"
The color rose a little in the young
mans face, but with a strong effort he
controlled himself and went ON collect
ing his fare as usual.
Meanwhile Mr.. Warburton sat
quietly in his seat; none OF those near
him could unrayel the expression Of
his face, nor tell what would be the
next movement in the scene. And he

rudely treated; he had been unkindiy

simple truth, and the young man

Should he do it?

knew what he was worth. He knew
how he had risen by his own exertions
to the position he now held. When a
little orange peddler, he stood by the
street crossings, he had many a rebu1.
He had outllved those days of hard

he care for strangers roughness or

Presently the conductor came back

Mr.. Watburton's side; He took his
books from his pocket, the bank-bills

A POPULAR FAILAcY. That outdoor
exercise before breakfast is healthful.
1t is never SO; and, from the very ma
ture of things, is hurtful, especially to
persons of poor health; although the
very vigorous may practice it with inn
punity. In winter the body is easily
chilled through and through, unless
the stomach has been fortified with n
good warm breakfast; and in warm
weather, miasmic and malarious gasses
and carnations speedily act upon the
empty and weak stomach in a way to
yitiate the circulation, and induce fe-
yer and ague, diarrhea and dysentery.
Entire families, who have arranged to
eat breakfast before leaving the house,
and to take supper before shutdown,
have had complete exemption!from
fever and ague, while the whole COM
munity around them was suffering
from it for having neglected these
precautions.
