EuELtME's rtstrANTt

It was at q masked ball, at the Pa
lais Royal, that my fatal quarrel
with my first cousin, Andre de Bris-
sac, began. The quarrel was about a
woman. The women. who followed
the footsteps of Philip Of Orleans
were the cause of many such dis
putes; and there was scarcely one
fair head in all that glittering throng
which, to q man versed in social his
tories and mysteries, might not have
seemed bedabbled with. blood.
1 shall not recall the name of her
for love of whom Andre de Brissac
and 1 crossed one of the bridges in
the dim August dawn, on our way to
the waste ground beyond the Church
of st. German des Pres.
We fought, and I wounded him
mortally. Life had been very sweet
for him, and I think that frenzy of
despair took possession of him when
he felt the hfe-blood ebbing away.
He beckoned me to him as. he lay on
the ground. went and knelt at his
side.
'Forgive me. Andre" 1 MUIR

He took no more heed of my words
than if that piteous entreaty had been
the idle ripple of the water near at
hand. :.

that man has done with earth be-
cause his eyes glaze and his jaw stiff
fens. They will bury me in the old
vault at Puy Verdun. And you will
be master of the chateau. Ali, Iknow
how lightly they take things in these
days, and how Dubois will laugh
when he hears that Ca has been kill
ed in duel. They will bury me,
and sing masses for my soul; but you
and I have not finished our affair
yet, my cousin; I will be with you
when you least look to see me. I,
with this ugly scar upon the face that
women have praised and loved; L will
come to you when your life seems
brightest. will come between you
and all that you hold fairest and
dearest. My ghostly hand shall drop
q poison in your cup of JOY. My
shadowy form shall shut the sunlight
from your life. Men with such iron
wills as mine can do what they please,
Hector de Brissac. It is my will to
haunt you. when I am dead.
I had grown hateful to myself, and
had we'll nigh began to hate nv fell
low-creatures, when feverish desire
seized me, and I I.pined to be back in
the press and the throng of the busy
world once again. I went back to

from the court, and where an angel
took compassion upon me.

We had been married three months.
when Eveline one day asked:
"Who is the lord of the chateau
nearest to this?"
looked at her with astonisbment.
"My dearest" I answered, edo
you not know that there is no other
chateau within forty miles of Puy
Verdun?"

strange"
I asked her why this fact seemed
strange to her, and after much en-
treaty, L obtained from her the reason
of her surprise.
In her walks about the park and
woods during the last month, she
had met man who, by his dress and
bearing, was obviously of noble
rank. She had imagined that he oc-
cupied some chateau. near at hand,
and that his estate joined ours. I

stranger could be; for my estate at

The King of the Cradle.
BY J. A. S.


Draw hack the cradle curtains, Kate,
Whilst watch and ward you're Keeping,
Lets see the monarch lie in state,
And view him whilst he's sleeping
He smiles and clasps his tiny hand,
As sunbeams in come streaming;
world of baby-fairy land
He visits while he's dreaming.
Monarch of pearly powder-puf
Asleep in nest so cozy,
Shielded from breath of breezes rough
BY curtains warm and rosy:
He slumbers soundly in his cell,
As weak as one decrepit,
Though King of Coral, Lord of Bell,
And Knight of Bath that's tepid.
All. lucky tyranti happy lot.
Fair watchers without number
To sweetly sing beside his cot,
And hush him Off to slumber;
White hands in wait to smooth so neat
His pillow when it's rumpled,
On couch of rose-leaves fresh and sweet,
Not one of which Is crumpled
Will yonder dainty dimpled hand
Size. nothing and quarter
Fer clasp a saber. lead band
To glory and to slaughterf
And. may ask, will those blue eyes
In baby f,asois peppers
Fer in House Of Commons rise,
And strive to catch the Speakersf
InOuSn ruSy, ulnipteu- pump ana TOuDu,
Though fragile soft and tender,
Sometimes, alas. it may be found
The thread of life is slender!
A little shoe, a bitten glove
Affection never waning
The shattered idol of our love,
Is all that is remainingl
Then does one chance in fancy, hear
Small feet in childish patter,
Tread soft as they grave draw near,
And voices hush their chatter;
Tis small and new, they pause in fear,
Beneath the gray church tower,
To consecrate it by a tear
And deck it with flower.
Then take your babe Kate. kiss him so,
Fast to your bosom press him
OF mothers love what does he know?
Though closely you caress him.
Ali what man will be that boy,
What mind and educationi
If he fulfills the hope and joy
OF mothers aspiration.

~A Cable dispatch announces

@A Cable dispatch announces
the death of Sir James South, the
astronomer. He was the son of q
Southwark apothecary, and began
life as a physician, practising medi-
cine for several years in London.
But his fondness for scientic research
proved stronger than his profession
al ambition. In 1922 he assisted Sir
John Herschel in the compilation of
catalogue of double stars. In
union with that great man and other
contemporary sava'as, he founded the
Astronomical Society. In 1880 he
was knighted and pensioned. Here
peatedly filled the chair of the seeie-
ty Just named, and received elections
from other learned bodies, English
and Continental. His enthusiasm in
astronomical study never tagged
during life of eighty years. He
owned one of the best observateries
in Europe, and some of his instru-
ments were, until lately, unexcelled.

Dir. Yeager, living near Mitchell's
Station. in Culpepper County, relates
some very curious facts about re
markable freq. 1T has lived he
says, many years with us, and is a
great favorite, and the greatest
curiosity is its becoming so remarka-
bly, tame. 1t had frequented our
door steps before Cur hall door some
years before my acquaintance com
menced with it. My father had ad-
mired it on account of its size and
color, and he visited it every evening
when it would come forth at the sum
mons, and by constant feeding it
would come to the candle and look
up, as if it expected to be taken and
brought to the table and fed on in
sects of all Sorts. On presenting
living insects, it fixes its eyes intent
ly and remains motionless for
while, as if preparing for strike,
which is as instantaneous throwing
of its tongue to great distance, up
on which the insects sticks fast to
the tip by a glutenous matter. i
can't say how long my father had
been acquainted with it; from my
earliest recollection he spoke of old

legs, and at the word of command
going through the manuel exercise.
1t seems perfectly good natured, and
never shows temper, but is dread

proach it will often leap four feet

Farmers on the Right Side.

Farmers are getting high prices for
their produce: and at the same time
the value of pretty much everything
they find it necessary to buy is largely
deprecated. Most kinds of dry goods
are down almost to ante-war prices,
while the products of the soil are one
to two hundred per cent, in most cases,
higher than they were in 1860. Thus
farmers are getting two to three prices
for wheat, corn, oats, potatoes, hogs
hay, butter, eggs, &c, while the pro-
duct of the loom and the anvil is selling
far below the cost of production. Even
with short crops, farmers must accu-
mulate, under present circumstances,
while other people are generally losing
money. This is better than the reverse
would be. The rural districts are good
places to have capital Ilaid up. 1t will
encourage agricultural industry, and
this underlies all otherinterests.-Cin.
