In a hurricane passing over the Ohio

The centre tree of the plat was Il noble
oak, the king over his fellows, and a
tree which had stood the ravages of time
seemingly unscathed tor several centu-
ries. This tree had been snapped and
felled by the storm. Upon examining
the fallen giant for the purpose of ascer-
tanning its worth as rail timber Mr.. Rog-
ers made a startling discovery. This

FRANCS FHIRsTlNG for REvENGE.

Archibold Forbes, writing to the New
York Herald on the recent review of the
French troops at Longchamps, says:
On the whole, it seems to me that the
omen may be drawn, from the aspect of
the troops on Thursdays parade, that
there is forked lightning in the thun-
der-eloud of Frances hatred to Germany
and ifer thirst for revenge. Aspirations
for the recanche are not a mere brutuqn
fulmen; that / think Gen. Manteufel
must have owned to himself as he sat
there incognito in plain clothes in back
row of the diplomatic tribune. The
French mean to have another wrestle
for the fall-that every one who knows
did not know, what l think this review
goes to show, that her military authori-
ties are working assiduously for the end,
that when the combatents shall grapple,
as grapple they must, the issue will not
be, by long way, SO nearly foregone
conclusion as most people have been
content to assume it. If France can
contain herself, and meanwhile work as
she has worked in the past two years,
the struggle will be Titanic one. She
has still an immensity to do; indeed, she
has scarcely yet begun the work she has
set herself. But in ten years. time. in
accordance with the dispositions of hel
new military law, she will be able to
set in line over 800, 200 men without call.
ing out the reserves. With them hel
military strength will number l 300, ,OO(
trained soldiers. The second act, JUS
passed, providing for organization a;
the first does for recruiting, enacts tina
wholesome decentralization the lack O
which contributed as much as anything
| to Frances downfall in the lafa war
With eighteen well organized and equip
ped army corps, each with its own stat
and its own province to recruit from
with powerful artillery and arms o
precision second to none in the world
and with a strength in fighting men o
a million and quarter, who shall sa,
that France shall not have made good he
title to re-enter the ranks of the grea
military powers? And all this that
write she has deliberately set herself t
accomplish in ten years.

SIMPLICITY In LIVING.

TO live simply. to master and control
our expenditure, is sore need in all
classes. The influences which surround
us, the ideas in which we have been
brought up, the habits which we fall
into as a second nature, all sway us in
the same direction. Every family and
every class seems to have caught hold of
the skirts Of the one above it, and to be
desperately holding on. Well, as Gold
win Smith says, the best thing they can
do is to let go-the only thing indeed
which will give themselves any comfort
or make their lives of real use in their
generation. The moment they will do
SO, and begin resolutely to live without
regard to what their neighbor on the
right spends for carriages, or their
neighbors on the left in upholstery, they
will find themselves rich for all good
purposes. From that moment it can no
longer be said of lis with truth, that we
dare not trust our wits TO make our
houses pleasant to our friends. and so
we buy ice-creams. And this most
needed of all reforms is Just the one
which every soul of us can carry
through for himself or herself. We
| cannot sweep our whole street, no
| doubt. But everyone of us can sweep
our own doorstep. and, if he will do it
| quietly and regularly, anon his right
and left hand neighbors follow, and be-
fore long the whole street is swept. And
in this way, and by this means, can al
most all those social tangles which we
have been glancing at casually. this
evening, be set right. Simple living!
To it even the great household question
at once the most harassing of social
troubles, will in the end yield-will be-
gin at once to look not wholly lnsolll-
bic and hopeless. Speaking of this sore

Count, and fled with him across the
ocean as above described In Europe
the husband confessed his true character
and design. His title was legitimate :;
but he was penniless and gamester and
had married an American for riches.
Upon learning, therefore, from the ter
rified woman that her angry family
would not give her a dover, he first
abused and then deserted her and only:
by selling her jewelry and wedding OUT
fit had she been able to travel back to
England and take passage for home.
The captain of the steamer and few of
the old passengers to whom he entrusted
the story, spared no pains to soothe the
heartbroken Countess and inspire her
with hope of loving welcome from her
family; but when the Australia was

that she did reach her old home at last,
and is now in cherishing refuge there

living for that real peace can scarcely
be hers until she finds it in the oblivious
mercy of the grave. ~

There was a.duke once who disguised
himself, anC placed a great rock ia thu
| middle of the road near his place. iee
Next morning peasant came thai
Way with his ox-cart. ssOh these lazy
people, - said he; ssthere is this big stone
right in the middle of the road, and nc
one will take the trouble to put it out ol
the way" And so Hahns went on
seolding about the laZiness of the peo.
pie. @ ---.-e
Next came a gay soldier along. His
head was held so far back that he didn't
notice the stone, SO he tumbled over it.
He began to storm at the country peo-
pie around there for leaving huge rock
in the road. Then he went on.
u Next came a company of merchants.
When they came to the stone, the road
was so narrow that they had TO go off in
single file ON either side. One of them
cried out: ''DId any body ever see the
like of that big stone lying here all the
morning, but no one stopping to take it
away ?''"4 sr-t fas .1
1t lay there for three weeks, and no
one tried to remove it. Then the duke
sent around word to all the people on
his lands to meet near where this rock
lay, as he had something to tell them.
.' The day came, and a great crowd
gathered. Old Hahns. the farmer, was
there, and so were the merchants. A
horn was heard, and splendid caval-
cade came galloping up. The duke got
down from his horse, and began to speak
to the people:
"My friends, it was I who put this
stone here three weeks ago. Every
passer-by has left it just where it was,
and has scolded his neighbor for not TAX
ing it out of the way.'
lie stopped down and lifted up the
stone. Directly underneath it was a
round hollow, and in the hollow lay a
small leathern bag. The duke held up
this bag, that all might see what was
written on it. "For him who lifts up
this stone.o He united the bag and
turned it upside down, and out upon
the stone fell beautiful gold ring and
twenty large, bright gold coins.
So they all lost the prize because they
had not learned the lesson or formed the
habit of diligence. lftt
