are your lovs-letters to mamma, written
long ago. Her name is Lucilla, you know. =
Mr.. Richmond sat down I'm his armchair
in silence, very red in the face.
''How did this occur?" he said sternly;
and little Mrs. Richmond retreatfng ipto a
corner, with hel handkerchief TO her eyes,

Il did it on purpose and paused, as
though she expected suld n judgment =
But hearing nothing, she dared at last to
rise and creep up to her husband timidIy.
lyon know, Charles" she said gently,
''it's SO long ago since, and thought you
might not exactly remember how you fell
in love with me at first sight, how papa
and mamma objected, and how at last we
ran away together; and it seemed to me
that if VIC could bring it all back to you as
it was then, We might let our dear Lucilla
marry the man she likes, who is good if he
is not fich. did not need it to be brought
back any palmer myself; woman have
more time to remember, you know. And
we've been very happy have we not?"
And certainly Mr. Richmond did not de-
ny that So Lucilla, feeling that her in
terests might safely be lef; in her mothers
keeping, slipped out OF the room, and
heard the little ruse next morning 1t was
favorable to the young music teacher, who
had really only been sentimental, and had
not gone half 50 far as slopement; and, in
course of time, the two were married with
all the pomp and grandeur >befiiting the
nupials Of wealthy merchants daughter,
with the perfect appreciation Of Lucilla's
father and to the joy of Lucills's mamma,
who Justly believed that her it'll. ruse had
brought about all her daughters happiness.

4 NEW LOVE TEST.

The English papers tell of senti-
mental individual named Stanhope.
who, having become possessed with
the notion that his wife was not so
fond of him as she should be, re-
solved to put her to the test. This
he did by hanging himself in effigy
in the attic, and concealing himself
where he could watch the effects of
the spectacle. Here is the sequel.
After awhile his daughter came up
after the skipping rope, and caught a
glimpse of the suspended figure.
She ran down the stairs screaming,
"Oh, mother, mother, papa has hung
himselfl' "Now for it," thought
Felix in ambuscade.-"we shall have
a touching scene presently" "Hung
himself" he heard Mrs Stanhope re-

peat, as she walked leisurelv up
stairs. "He hasn't got pluck
enough for such thing or he would
have done SO Gong ago. Well / be-
lieve he has done it however," she
continued, as she came in view of
Felix's representative. MOL" Ito
the little girl Il think he had better
be cut down. You had better 60 to
the kitchen and get knife my dear;
don't go down too fast or you might
fall down and hurt yourself. Stay,
1 forgot. There's no knife in the
kitchen sharp enough. You can go
round to Mr.. Holmes, the shoema
ker-he's only four streets off-and
ask him to lend us the pairing knife;
tell him to whet it before he sends it.
And, Molly, when you are in the
neighborhood, you can stop at Aunt
Sukey's and ask how the baby is.
And. Molly, you can stop at the gro
GERS shop as You come back and get
a pound of sugar Poor Felix
sighed Mrs. Stanhope, when her
daughter had departed; 81 hope we
shall get him down before the vital
sparks extinct; for these buryings
are very troublesome and cost mon
ey. He wanted to put an end to him
self, too; and l think l ought to let
him have his way for once in his life
he used to say was always crossing
him. l wish he hadn't spoiled that
new clothes line; an old rope might
have answered his purpose. Here a
voice that sounded like that of the
supposed suicide, broke in upon Mrs
Stanhope's soliloquy with, You
COMPOUNDED Jezabcl, I'll be the death
of you!" Mrs. Stanhope thinking
this must of course he a ghostly eX-
clamation, uttered wild scream and
attempted to escape down the narrow
stairway. Felix starting from his
place of concealment, gave chase,
Mrs. Stanhope stumbled midway
on the flight of stairs, and Dir. Stan
hope having just reached her and
and made a grasp at her disheveled
hair as it streamed backward, the
amiable partners wer precipitateJ to
the bottom together. Both were
badly bruised.

CHICKENs HATCHED FROM Fees
!, 200 YEARS oLD.-Thc Paris cores
pondent Of the Nation states that the
guests of the Able Denis, curate of
the parish of ST Elio, in the
Faubourg St. Antoine, dined a few
days ago on fowls whose immediate
ancestors figured, he says, on the
table of the great Frankish King
Dagobert. When the Able Denis
laid the first stone of the church and
presbytery he has built, by his own
exertions, On the site of the chateau
and gardens of Dagobert, hens
nest full of eggs was discovered be-
meath the ruins of the ancient build
ing. The eggs, more than twelve
hundred years old, were about to be
thrown away by the labores, when
the Able, remembering that wheat
has been grown from grain found in
Egyptin mummies dating back from
the time of the Pharaohs, bethough
him that possible there might still be
life in these eggs. A savam of the
institute, consulted at once in refer
ence to these precious relics of an age
when there was as yet no France to
detest ''perfidious Albion" or to be
jealous Of Prussia and needle guns,
advised their being forthwith confid-
ed to hen ofapproved success in the
the maternal capacity. This advice
having been acted upon the good
cure and his friends had the delight
of witnessing, twenty one days after
ward, the Matching of q fine brood of
chickens, the direct progeny of the
denizens of King Dagobert's barn
yard. The fowls thus obtained have
been carefully kept from any
mesalliance with their cOgeners of
less ancient blood; and the Able
has now a yard so well replenisbed
with "King Dagobert fowls" that he
not only supplies his own larder with
poultry of this illustrious breed, but
is about to organize, at the sugges-
ton of numerous friends, sale of
king Dagobert eggs" for the bene-
fit of the poor of his parish.
