Careless of morrows which come too soon,
Hearing the tales golden noon,
Can tell.
For should tarry among the leayes,
Breathing no other than balmy air,
Seeing my harvest everywhere
In SheaVes,
And then should tax my brain no more
Thick though the snOwfakes chose to fall,
Knowing have beyond them all
A shore.
The Story of Man who had Five
Francs on his Conscience.
The Paris correspondence of the
New Orleans Times says:
The first scene opens at midnight
The hero, Trufn, enters restaurant,
demands glass of Bavarian beer,
and hands in payment a note of 100
francs. The waiter returns him a
handful of change, which he pockets
ana walks home. Being a man of
system attic habits, when once at
home, he sat down to count his
change, and discovered to his hor-
ror that he had received five francs
too much He went to sleep, but
the surplus haunted his dreams. He
imagined himself condemned to the
galleys, dragging at his ankles a
piece Of 100 sous, which weighed
like a bullet. Then he thought he
had undertaken to beg in each of the
500 lemonade establishments in
Paris, and had collected a centime
from each. Finally he dreamed that
he had swallowed 100 sous, and
that its weight in his stomach was
now occasioning all the distresses
of nightmare: In the morning, after
this torturing night, he reflected
upon the folly of disturbing himself
for an error so easily remedied; he
resolved to return at once to the res
taIlrant of NJ. Gencivale, and restore
the coin Oh livres. We later, there
fore, behold him addressing the
demoiselle Eulalie, who keeps the
compton 1T the said restaurant:
sTrufin-Mademoiselle, last even
ing had a glass of bavarvise at this
table-but. excuse me, MAIDEN oiselle
you are not listening to me?
Eula!ie-Do you not see that
am adding UP an account?
Trufin-Ah, that Is another affair
| will wait.
Prolonged silence, during which
Trufin congratulates himself on the
fine action he is about to perform
He sees himself in Imagination sur
rounded by all the walters of the es
tablishment, with their employer a

down, invite him to stake some
thing" and on his refusal, he vii
be escorted to the door with the
most touching impressment ant
courtesy.
Eulalie-(Still writing.) What i:
; it that you want?
Trufn-This Yesterday evening
, l had glass of bavarvise, and pait
; for it with note of one hundred
francs.
Eulalie-I presume they CAV,
you your change!
: Trufn-They did but have reason
!, to believe that the immutable law
of arithmetic did not preside owe
that little operation, and I have com
to ask fly chance you have not dis
> covered an error in your accounts.
Eulalie- Monsieur, / am no
: obliged to account for my errors t.
t any one but my employer.
) Trufin-'Permettez, the question
| is not concerning an error to you
: profit. but detriment. In othe
: words, I have received five franc
i too much, and here 1t is.''
Eulalie-(pricked to the quick
and laying down his pen )-Monsi

| of less than three hundred francs
Trufin-"Very well, l will con
gratulate M. Gencivle on the man
ner in which his accounts are kept.
