lighter run of mcdium stock. Prices with

The Hidden Serpeut.

One bright Spring day l walked along
the brook-side. All at once little cluster
of violets caught my eye. There they
were, as tidy as a little Sabbath School
class. They were the first had seen that

out looking for any danger at hand. But
scarcely had my fingers touched, before a
little red forked tongue was shot out to-
ward me. The serpent was there. "Ah,"
thought !, "this is the way with many
little charming pleasures--they hide a SER

more than snake. Watch, or you will be

How Have you Lived.

The perils of traveller were illustrated
by the conductor ON the Mount Washing
ton railroad this summer. When on the
steepest place of that steepest rail track in
all the earth man was frightened, and
said to the conductor
"Ssppose the locomotive should give
out, where would we go to P''
"Ah," said the conductor, "there is a
brake at the front end of the car"
" But" said the traveller, "suppose that
should give out, where would we go to P"
Said the conductor "There is another
brake you see, on the car"
But said the ahrighted passenger,
"suppose that also shonld give away,
where then would we go?
And the conductor replied significantly (:
=" That depends upon how you have lived" 4"

The Present Ruler Of France.

In the month of September, 1s8-, a
Il young French officer arrived at Vienna
and alighted at the Hotel de L Archduc
Charles. 1t was yet early, so he deter
mined he would have look at the town
before dinner. He sailed forth, and by
dinner-time had lost his way. His per-
plexity was all the greater as he spoke no
German, but by dint of inquiry and repeat
ing the words, "Hotel ArchdulSe Charles, %
he at length met good samaritan, who
took him to the gates of an imposing look
ing mansion. The young Frenchman said
to himself, How odd l fancied the
house was not half SO stylish as this" He
gave up his great coat and hat to the SER
wants, and was ushered into dining room,
where covers were laid for twenty. He sat
down and made himself at home, and
helped himself to the cdViare and hors d.
euVres-begun dinner, in fact, and was la
menting that Vienna tables d. AOte were not
better attended, when the door opened, and
there entered fine looking old gentleman,
accompanied by a very young lady and
about dozen other guests. The French
man, after the habit of his nation, rose and
bowed when they had taken their seats,
and continued his dinner with the greatest
composure. Presently the conversation
became general, and the Frenchman men
toned to his neighbor that he regretted he
was debarred from taking part in it, as he
knew nothing but French. The fine old
gentleman at the head of the table evident
ly heard the remark and understood It, as
he continued the conversation in French.
The young officer was delighted at this
mark of courtesy, and said something very
civil about the pleasant people to be met at
Vienna table a. hOte--and dinner over went
up TO the fine old gentleman and said /:
! am going TO the play now, but shall
be staying here few days. May hope
you are staying some little time in the
house, and that we shall see no more of
each other?" With that he made his bow
and went out. After play cab took him
back to his hotel, and he went to sleep

splendor os the dinner and tho shabbiness

he bad an explanation. He received , visit
from Count Mensdorff, who told him that
his Imperial Highness the Archduke
Charles, with whom he had dined on the
previous day. would be glad to see him
every day during his stay in Vienna. The
mistake was soon cleared up. Instead of
dining at the " Archduke Charles" Hotel
as he supposed, he had dined at the palace
of the Archduke Charles ! The Figaro tells
that the hero of this adventure was no less
person than Marshal MacMahon, the
present President of the French Republic.

Million nolInrs fnrnLife.

1t is said that one of the men who was
taken on board the Yirginius, and who
was afterwards shot offered million DOL
lars for his life. The incident illustrates
the mistaken estimate which men place ON
money when they give its accumulation all
their time and energy, thereby neglecting
to lay up treasures that will be available
when at last the weary worker lays his
burden down,
Upon the great worlds altar-stairs,
That slope through darkness up To God"

DAY BEADING.
That's my Penny.

A N interesting young lad, who had
IN nothing TO give at country mis-
sionary meeting to which he was going, ex-
cept solitary penny, was somewhat dis
concerted the more so because he was
much teased by his sister, on account of
the smallness of his contribution. She re-
peatedly remarked, What is penny p
What good can it do? and, besides, it
will never be noticed among all the money
that will be given by others. The boy was
encouraged, however, by his pious mother,
not to mind the taunts of his sister, who
happened to have trihe more to give, but
to take his penny and give it with pure
motive and, if it were not noticed by
man, to remember that it would be known
to God, who was well pleased with the
poor widows mite. Away they went to
the meeting at the appointed time. All
were interested with the address, and the
little fellow frequently wished that he had
more to give. AT length the collection was
made, and the boy, with heavy heart,
dropped in his penny According to Gus
tom, the money was counted in the vestry,
that the amount might be announced to
the meeting. By and by the secretary
stepped forward ON the platform, and stat
ed that he had the pleasure of announcing
that the collection amounted to (" six
pounds, five shillings and penny. When
the little boy heard merit tion made of a pen
ny, he was so moved that he could hardly
restrain himself, and he whispered some
what loudly, to his sister Hear that F;
that's ny penny. You said it was SO little
it would never be noticed, and the gentle
man has told the whole congregation. y
His mother said, "1Iush p and the matter
dropped; but the little boy had the better
of his sister for once, and he was disposed
even afterward to feel triumphant on ac-
count of the public notice that was taken
of his penny contribution.

night Fitzrobinson was too mad to trust
himself to say much, so he merely pointed
to the oyster-pie, saying ina withering
manner ttlIf M
"Oyster ~ if M
lord bless your soul No, brother;
chicken, by all MEANS" replied the Rev.
Mr.. Ives, fervently. "Sister Fitzrobinson's
chicken-pie is too famous to-"
" Peleg, dearest, Brother Ives said he
would take chicken-pie, " interrupted Mrs.
f., seeing Fitzrobinson was about to load
the reverhed gentleman's plate with oyster
pie. Fitzrobinson paid not the slightest
attention to her, pretending not to hear.
He was playing a desperate game. The
Rev. Mr.. Oilyjohn taking in the situation,
came to the front. As he was sitting near
er Fitzrobinson, he shouted on a high key
at the host
"Brother Ives said chiclSen-pie."
Oh, the look that Fitzrobinson gave that
man I'm sure it would have withered a
bronze statue of the indomitable jackson.
He was driven to the WALL however, and
doggedly parted with the last piece but
one. Now for the last chance. 1t was
evident the deaf dodge was a failure. What
should he try for forlorn hope? Alas !
what? No one can ever know the vicious
resolves he made in his heart as he CON
templated that last piece of chicken-p pie.
1t was not enough that they should peon
him to the church for life, but now they
must needs take the last loaf in the house,
so to speak, in the name Of the Lord. He'd
see who was master in that house. He in
wardly swore he wouldn't stand it any
longer. He was thoroughly reused He
fairly hissed at the Rev. Mr.. Ferguson, who
was reciting to Mrs. Brownsmith thrilling
tale of his experience, which began, "I re-
member some twenty years ago." sc.

pie, too 1 hope may be d."
"PelegW warned Mrs. F.
"Mr. Fritzrobinson p groaned Mrs
Brownsmith in the same breath.
Yes do, and l don't care who knows
it--no, DON'T"
Fitzrobinson stood in a threatening at
titude with uplifted carving-kuife, as
though about to brain the Rev. Mr.. Fer
guson. Say it % he thundered at that
gentleman, as though the saying of it was
to be the signal for TIE fray. Consterna-
tion sat upon the Methodist brow. Silence
reigned for time The spirit of chicken
pie was striving with the Rev. Mr.. Fergu-
son. At last it gained the mastery. He
cried in loud voice, "Amen ~
Fitzrobinson understood this TO be con-
firmation of his suspicion that the rever-
end gentleman would take chicken-ple,
and he understood Alright. Up to this time
Fitzrobinson had been brave, but now he
broke down completely. He spooned out
the last piece of his favorite Wand, and
withdrew in silence. He went out and
borrowed ten dollars from Belding, across
the way, and hurried down Ninth street.

two men, with strange and sudden energy.

have answered this question by a full
statement of all that had transpired but
the manner Of his interlocutor made him
hesitate, and moments reflection made

"He said what dying Indian might

"Well, he did not" said the young
hunter, while smile of contempt curled
about the corners of his mouth.
From the whole tone and manner Of the
two men Orlando at once conceived that
they had some knowledge, at least, of the
Indians murderous mission, and that how
ever many questions they would like to
have asked, a fear of duplicating them
selves would keep them silent on the point
he wished to keep from them.
"Never mind" at length said he, who
had his foot still upon the grave ; "'tis
well for you, perhaps, that dead men can
not speak and it might have been better
still had you got through with this job in

What mean you by that ?" Orlando
asked, as the rich blood of just indignation
began to mantle his brow.

settler, with sort of sarcastic grin. eff

his companion, he continued: "Come,

AS he spoke he took his foot from the

have called them back, but he had told
them all he had to tell, and if they believed
him not now, then he had no hopes OF in

Where BazaIne Is nSecluded.n p

The Fort sainte Marguerite, whittier
Bazaine has been transferred, was con-
structed under Louis XIII. and repaired by
Vauban. Among the celebrated prisoners
who have been confined there are 0mer
Falon, the Man in the Iron Mask, the poet
Lagrange Chancel, and certain Bishop
Broglie, who flourished during the FIRST
empire. From 1851 to 1859 number Of
Arab prisoners were detained there. Piiny
speaks of city called Vefgoanum, which
once existed in the Isle Ste. Marguerite,
but no trace of it can now be found. In the
seventeenth century the first Of the modern
Notifications was built by order of Richie
lieu. The fort was besieged in 1885 by the
Spanish, aud in 1740 by the Piedmontese
and Austrians. Prosper Merrimee, in his

teresting details about this fortress, and
particularly about the room in which the
Man with the Iron Mask was confined for
seventeen years.
