THE GROCER'S CLERK.
ny e. 8. aETcHELb.

Rap.tap.tap, sounded at my Office door,
and Bane Darwell, without waiting for a
reply to his summons, rushed in, and,
seixing my hand with vice like grip,
looked into my astonishcd face, with eyes
brimming over with fun, mischief, and
hearty good lumur.
''Why-whcre, in the name of the
wonderful, did you come irun this morn

''-An employee of--eh-what? |
gasped, in CONSERVATION, as my brain di-
esstcd the possibility, that my rich, Gle
CANT friend, Bane Darwcl, in one of his
arrange freaks, had conceived the idea of
serving tho prosperous firm he had men
toned.

brown stone front-the envied possessor
Of goodly amount of bank stock, and
like appendages. l say am tired of
this, and as ain old enough to marry, /
am determined to find some one who will
love me for myself-some ono who will
prefer my society to the lisping, shallow,
bewhiskered ballroom beaux, and devo-
tees of fashion. Oh you needn't stare
your eyes out at me; | mean every
word I say, and I'm in my proper senses

cination," he replied, with musical
chuckle, at the same time putting huge
volume of fragrant smoke from his
mouth.
tried to convince him of the utter
pnreasonableness of his plan, but my ar
gunieLt8 were lost on him, and he soon
left me rs intent on his project as when
he entered.
The next day, as L. glanced from my
window, saw him, mounted upon n
grocer's wagon, dressed in plain, coarse
garments, his fine face flushed with ex.
eroise; he threw comical, halfdciant
glance at me, as his rough vehicle rat
tied up, and /, with sigh, fell to cogi-
tating on the absurdity of human nature

II harsh, ringing tone ; "onc would think
you were in love with him yourself. II
persons will be so foolish and conceited
as to aspire to marry their superiors

you are so much interested in the affairs

to rejoice that have rejected him; you
may win him yourself.
"For shame, Annie, you are ungencr-
Gus" replied the other, in indignant
tones. al only hope that may be for
tunate enough to win one so noble: even
though he oe ever so poor. l have mo.
ncy enough for both, thank Heaven"
So saying, she rose to leave the room,
as tall form glided from the doorway,
and 1 quietly crouched closer in my
seat, feeling that discovery, at least,
would be unpleasant.
The next day Bane called to see me,
aud, although his manner was somewhat
depressed, no allusion was made to the
affairs of the previous evening.
After that he came often to see me,
and appeared more like his old SELF,
though still attending rigidly to his du-
ties as groccr's clerk. He often spoke
of Miss Langdon, but more frequently
the name Of Lucy Merton dwelt on his
tongue. He still continued visiting at
the house of his employer, and, j hay
ing become acquainted through him,
often accompanied him there of an eve
ming. 1t WAS little curious that Mr.
Crank aud his family should be on such
familiar terms with the poor clerk, but

IHE POWER OF ART1LLERY.-Ther re-
cent conflict between the French and
the Prussians has been decided-like nil
modern conflicts are now-more by the
power of artillery than by mere hand.
to-hand engagements. New inventions
in the instruments OF warfare have
placed mere physical strength altogether
in the minority. It used to lie the boast
that the British soldier was superior in
the matter of q bayonet charge TO any
other soldier in the world. Now, how
ever, times are altered. The results of
victory depend, not on the powor of
the men Individually. but on the power
OF the artillery collectively. Yet this
leads us to IN old reflection, namely:
whether the men Of the present day are
equal or inferior in stature to the war
riors OF ancient times. The generally
accepted belief is that the men of the
present day are quite as stout and stall
Wart as they were in the old historic
ages long gone by. Even at Lord Eglin-

the knights had some difficulty in find

After many wonderful mutations, it is
said that Napoleon III proposes to again
seek home in Switzerland, the free
land which sheltered him in his early
days of exile and obscurity. Thus the
right Of asylum, which despots nearly
all ignore. and which Napoleon himself
would have readily violated when he was
at the height Of his power. is once more
invoked from liberal European rcpub-
lie, and the ex-Emperor goes buck to her
brsoing mountains to dream of past
greatness. or, perhaps. to concoct
schemes for tho restoration of his dy-
nasty.
