A Strange Story.

One OF the Paris Journals announces
the death, al Versailles, of 4 Russian
lady vino appeared in the drawing
rooms in Paris in ISIS and 1873. and
was nicknamed the "Dame 4 Ia Clef. -
She died, aged fOTty-five, in the most
complete solitude. Ii Is said that her
husband, who was much older shan
she, came To see her for 4 week or two
every six months. ami went away
again, no one knew whittier. All was
mysterious about this Lady Of the
Key. Last month the husband did
not return as usual, bur = letter came
announcing his death. The widow
survived him a few days only, and it
is supposed she allowed herself to die
of hunger. Whether true or not, this
was the story that was whispered
about her when she appeared in Paris,
young and beautiful, more than twen-
[ ty years ago. II is said that her hus-
hand surprised her i'm little country
house which he possessed near Mos
COW, at the moment she was hastily
shutting somebody up in a wardrobe.
A servant had betrayed her. The
MuseOvite OthellO turned the key
twice in the wardrobe, took it out,
and then told his wife to follow him.
a travelling britZka stood few PAGES
from the villa. More dead than alive,
the unhappy woman Obeyed.
When the husand had placed her in
the carriage, and given an Or,ler in a
low voice to the cOachman, Keep
this key" he said to his wife: 81 have
forgotten something, and will return, y
and then went back to the house.
He returned according to his prom
ise, but as the carriage ascended the
hill the poor woman saw the flames
issuing from the windows of the eoun-
try house and taking full possession
of it. She tainted away, and on re-
gaining her senses perceived that a
gold chain was riveted round her
neck, to which the little key of the
wardrobe was attached. She wished
to kill herself, but her husband threat
ened that if she committed suicide he
would reveal her misconduct, and
cover her and her family with dishOn-
or. She was therefore condemned to
live, and her strange necklace excited
much curiosity in Paris. AT last her
tyrant allowed her to retire into a
quiet retreat, on the express stipula-
ton that she would not attempt to
destroy herself during his lifetime.-
His death released her from this con-
ditiOn but she had languished for
more than twenty years, having the
witness Of her guilt always before her
eyes. 1t is curious story We Won

What's the Reason.

Take twenty boys of sixteen, III our
or any town in the State, and let
them go to work. three or four in a
dry goods store, boot ana shoe, fishing
establishments, and printing offices
In ten years they will have become
men of twenty-six, and the majority
of them will then be about as far along
[ in the business as they ever will be
One or two only in each of the above
branches will be established in busi-
ness for themselves or connected with
some firm doing a good business, and
the rest viii be barely getting living
and growing about their poor luck
/ Now we assert that there Is good rea-
son for their poor success, and that
''luck" has but little, if anything at
all to do with it.
If we take the trouble to ascertain
the real facts in their several cases,
we shall find that those young men
who became masters in their trades,
or leading men in their pursuits, were
not afraid to lUOrk, and Were deter
mined to succeed. They looked be-
yond the day and week. They made
themselves valuable and useful to
their employers by being always
faithful, reliable and willing to do
what they could for the interest of
those for whom they worked. When
4 press Of business came, they were
ready and willing to work extra hours,
and without sulking or grumbling,
well knowing that business must be
attended to when it came, and that
there were plenty of dull times during
the year, which would more than
cOunterbalance any extra briskness OF
the busy season. To sum it all up,
these young men identified them
selves with the establishments where
they were employed became useful
to their employers, in fact, fixtures,
who could be lily spared, and in due
course of time, having gained exper-
fence, were invited to take hand
with the already established house, or
else boldly struck out for themselves.
Here, then is the lesson, which is, il
you wish 90 become successful mas
tiers, learn First to become faithful SER
wants.

THE True MAN.

Who shall judge a man by Inanners?
Who shall know him by his dr'-s?
Paupers may be fit for princes,
Princes nt for something less.
Crumpled shirt and dirty jacket
May becIOthe the golden ore
ofthe keenest thoughts and feelings:
Satin vest could do no more.
There are springs Of crystal nectar
Ever welling out OF stone;
Thereare purple buds and golden,
Hidden, crushed, and Overgrown:
God, who counts by souls, not dressfs
Loves and prospers you and me;
While lac values thrones the highest
But as pebbles in the sea.
Man, upraised above his fellows,
on forgets his fellows then.
Masters, rulers, lords, remember
That your meanest kinds are men;
Men by labor, not by feeling,
Men by thought, and men by fame,
Claiming eqda! right 10 sunshine
In a mans ennObiins name.
There are little reed-clad hills.
There are feeble inch-thick saplings,
There are cedars on the hills;
God, who counts by souls, not stations,
Loves ard pr0spers yOu and me;
For to him all vain distinctions
Are as pebbles in the sea.
Toiling hands alone are builders
or a nation s wealth or fame:
Titled lnziness IL penslOned,
Fed, and fattened on the same
By the sweat OF others fOreheads;
Living only to rejoice,
While the poor mans outraged freedom
Vainly Iifteth up his voice.
Truth and justice are eternal
Born with IOveliness and light:
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
While there is a sunny right.
God whose world heard voice is singing
BOundless love 10 you and me,
Sinks oppression, with its titles,
As the pebbles I'm tbs sea.

The father knew, if the son did not.
He had observed number of dime
novels scattered about the house; but
had not thought it worth his while tO
say anything until fitting OppOrtu-
nifty should offer itself. A basket of
apples stood upon the floor. And he
said: empty out those apples, and
take the basket and bring it TO me
half full Ofchips."
Suspecting nothing, the son Obeyed.
"And nOw," he continued, put those
apples back into the basket"
When half of the apples were re-
placed the son said:
"Father, they roll off. can't put

"Put 'em i'm, tell YOU"
"But, father, can't put them in."

the house from that day to this.

Excitement In Religion.

Rev. DIR. Storrs, of New York, ar
gues that excitement in religion is
not only natural and reasonable, but
necessary; and lack of it is dis
credit to the Gospel and shame to
human nature. In a recent sermon
on the subject, he met the objections
of those who hold "that impeTturable
GOODNESS is essential to manly nature,
and that appeals 10 the feelings Of
men i'm preaching the Gospel are un-
WISE" by the pertinent illustration of
the recent gold panic. He pictured
the scene when sedate men, who had
a hundred thousand dollars to pay i'm
gold, that had risen from thirty To
sixty, rushed about the streets "as
though they were shot out of artil-
lery," and when an assembly Of de-
corous, well-established, successful
men resolved itself, as it were, into u
menagerie of struggling, screeehing
animals, he said: al do not quarrel
with that, but don't talk TO me of the
imprOpriety of excitement in religion,
where more is at stake than millions
OF money"

InhabItanls OF lhe Human Bodr.

What think you, reader, of your
body's being a planet inhabited by
living races, As We inhabit the earth !?
Whatever may he your thoughts on
the subject, the fact is even so. Your
body IS but home for parasites, that
crawl over its surface, burTow beneath
its skin, nestle i'm its entraiIs, and riot
and propagate their kind in every
corner of their frame. The sensation
i'm regard to trichipO in swine flesh
has set the scientific to "knOcking
their heads together" and the result
il the following: Parasites not only
inhabit the bodies OF all animals used
by us as food, but they are also found
i'm abundance in our own OrganiZa-
ton. The specie trichiRiG spirdlis, of
which so much is said, and whose eX-
istence has been discovered in pork,
is, according to our best anatOmists,
found in almost every muscle of the
human body. II lies along the fibres
of the muscles, envelOped in little
cysts or saes about One-fOurth of an
inch in length. 1t can be distinctly
seen and examined only by the use of
the microscope. Prof. Wood, of Phil
adelphia, SAYS: mo evidence has
yet been produced of any morbid IN
fiuence exerted by the trichina upon
the system during life. They have
been found in subjects carried off by
sudden death (accidentl, and in the
midst of health" An English au-
thOrity says: ''It is a notorious fact
that the numerous parasites do crawl
over our surface, burrOw beneath our
skin, nestle in our entrails and riot
and propagate their species in every
Ocrner of our frame. Nearly a score
of animals belonging to the interior of
the human body have been already
discovered and described; and scarce
ly tissue or an organ but is Occa-
siOnally profaned by their inrOads.-
Each, also has its special or its favor
ite domicil. One species of StrOngle
chooses the heart for its dwelling
place, another inhabits the arteries,
third the kidneys. Myriads of min
ute worms lie coiled up in the vOlun-
tary muscles, or in the arcOlar tissue
that connects the fleshy fibers. The
guinea norm and the Clique bore
through the skin and reside in the
subjacent reticular membrane. Hy-
Idtids infest various parts of the
body, but especially the liver and the
brain. A little fUke, in general ap-
pearance much like founder, lives
stepped in gall in the hillary vessels.
If YOU squeeze from the skin of your
nose what is vulgarly called a mag
gOt-the contents, namely, of one of
the hair fOllicles--it is ten to one that
YOU find i'm that small sebaeiOus cyl
inder several animalcule, exhibiting
under the microscope a curious and
complicated structure. Even the eye
has its living inmates. With this
knowledge of our composition, it mat
tiers but little how many entOzOd we
consume, so long as We do not see
them-it is nothing more than all
ages have done before us. We might
with as much prOpriety refuse to drink
water, which, however pure, is fairly
alive with animalcul9, as to refrain
from the use of meat because it eX-
hibits under the microscopy ent0zO.

Ex-Gov. Orr, of South Carolina,
having been interviewed by the 1Fi-
Jtnle reporter, expressed the following
view of the general effect of the Fif-
teenth Amendment on the South:
O. Allow me to ask, Governor,
what is likely TO he the operation OF
the Fifteenth Amendment throughout
the south?
A. 1t is my belief that, in a few
years, Congress viii find that they
have put into the hands Of the south
Il twO-edged sword that with which
they intend to deprive the white man
of power has only doubled At. And
should the question of repeating the
clanse be raised, its strongest OppO-
nents will then be those who live
south of Mason and DiXOn's line. So
identical viii the interests of the two
races have eventually becOme-all
local causes of irritation being remOV-
ed-that the South will go into a ma
tiOnal contest with all her armOT on,
carrying with her the balance OF
power, and the ability TO determine
every vexed question of National poll
ties. Ideas do not always culminate
i'm day, or a generation, and We can
well afford TO await the issue, know
ing that mind will at last triumph
over muscle, and secure for US, as a
people united, without respect to col
or, all the rights 10 which we are en-
titled. In other words, New England
will not always dictate to us from the
floor of Congress, and the North gen
orally will not enjoy the blessings OF
partial legislation. In this light,
looking To the future for results,
think we should be grateful for the
Fifteenth amendment.

Gen. ThOmas-An interesting Incident
OF the Late War.

The death of Gen. Geo. II. Thomas,
was Il shock to the people of Louisville
universally, whether they liked the
man or sympathized with his war ca
reer or not. He left us so little while
ago, full of manly and quiet vig0r-
the man who looked the impersOna-
ton of fifty years longer lease of life.
TO the readers abroad it may be
necessary to say that Col. Watkins
married the daughter of Gen. Rous-
seau about the close of the war-died
i'm New Orleans, and his body was
brought, with that tofhis sdistinguished
father-in-law, a few months ago, for
interment in our beautiful cemetery
at Cave Hill.
Just after the battle of Nashville Col.
Watkins, on Gen. Thomas staff, ap-
preached the General with free and
cordial manner, as if the request he
was about to make could not be denied
General, you know / have sweet
heart, Miss--Rousseau, whom /
have not seen fOr-mOnths. A leave
of absence, ifyOuplease, for-weeks."
To the dismay of poor Watkins, ThOm-
as shrugged his shoulders. Watkins
seeing that some ihtercessiOn was
necessary, reminded the General of
his youth, the ardOr of such years and
such attachments, and referred to some
probable history of the General in
such matters. Gen. Thomas quietly
and sOldierly replied: Watkins, Pve
been there; and the truth is that too
have a sweetheart; and l have not
seen her for more months than you
have yours for so many weeks. And,
what is more, have been married to
my sweetheart, and want TO see her
as much as you do yours, and it is
likely more. But wOn'tlet her come
to camp. A camp is no place for a
wife. She is out of her element, and
it sOftens man. And l won't go to
see my wife till my duty is ended and
the war is over. What will not do
myself will not allow you to do.
Besides / have a raid to make in Mis-
sissippi and Alabama, and | decided
this morning that you were the man
to lead it. You will please report for
duty at six a. M.-LOUisriUe Journal.

she goes on to say that though she is
ignorant of the ballet and professional
dancers, she has passionate sense of
beauty of form, and has taken advan-

by gymnastic classes and singing
schools TO study the development of
the lower limbs of her sex. She has
seen at least 4 thousand ladies in the
pretty dress worn for DiO Lewis's

lower leg more than half undraped.
