which pleads, with the cooling ardOr OF the
combat, for repose. With the orator it is
not 80, there is no physical fatigue that
beeets that agile member, the tongue. 1t
even runs more glibly for exercise. Mr..
TOntblanc sped rapidly home. He merely
delayed to trlnquer his glass with few
friends. 1t was genial glass of absinthe.
Arriving at home he rushed through the
house as if he had been a jealous husband,
which he had no cause to be since Nine.
| Clarisse was most devoted and exemplary
wife. As he stumbled over the chairs in
his haste, Nine. Clarisse thought Pierre
Berth had furniture wagon at the door.
The appearance Of NJ. Auguste was grand.
| 1t was as if Talma had come to play an
engagement in the Crescent City, which
is now indeed city rather on the wane.
"Clarisse" exclaimed he, embrace me!
Awake our child that he may behold the
devotion of his parents

| "Auguste, will you gain plass q

| extensor muscles of his arm in that man
ner which assures to Lydia Thompson
much applause. The muscle was fiaccid,
but the will was of iron. M. Auguste was
of the precise stature of Napoleon l. 1t
had been often remarked by his grand
father, who had seen Napoleon.
Mme Clarisse was puzzled by the demon
straton. She examined the muscle. There
was no uncommon development. NJ. Au.

Listen! The club has determined to ex-

May, Auguste, as if they had been several
yards of very strong linen torn off from
the parent piece.

Nine. Clarisse was an excellent lady.
She was frugal, dressed plainly, went
to no public assemblies except to
church, visited nowhere except in her own
family. There are no more exemplary
women than the class to which Nine.
Clarisse belonged.
1t was true she had cook. Perhaps in
the past six years she had tifty-one after
another. Then she had d0mestique and
bonnie d'enfah or nurse. How could she
do without either of these! But she was
devoted wife and as she thought upon this
Spartan resolution Of NJ. Auguste long after
that orator was muttering eloquent pas
sages and demonstrating with emphatic
gestures to an audience in dreamland, the
excellent little lady made up her mind that
she also would become an abolitiouist.
The next day NJ, Auguste had reduced
his plan to system. He would leave his
home in charge of his younger brother.
He would go to his uncle Aristargue de Mou
linet, planter of the White League OF st.
Landry. He would remit weekly the peas,
beans and pota Toes. which he might, could
or should have cultivated. Besides there
would come o. poultry, eggs and some
times of game and fish, which he would
take in the intervals of toll. Dressed in
his hunting suit, with his high boots and
gun Of two barrels, M. Auguste embraced
his devoted wife, kissed his children and
departed.
NJ. Aristarque de Moulinet had joined the
White League and was preparing to exc
cute its DEGREES in good faith. There were
two obstacles. His estate was incumbered |
by mortgage and some arrears of taxes, and |
his land was planted in cane, which must |
perish without constant labor. Owing to |
some misunderstanding about this mort
gage, Messrs. Countsales & Co. had de-
clined to honor his order for some bulk |
pork and corn. In consequence ne received
aid in his political plans. Two
colored families left his employ and en-
gagged in cutting wood in the neighbOrhood
Of provision depot, where they could earn
wages and draw the ratiOns accorded them
by a sympathizing Congress.
NJ. Auguste alighting from the train had
walked some miles, and presented himself |
to the family, surprised, but gratifed by
the visit from their cousin who lived in the |
city. He was followed by his dog, a fine
animal who could not however, distinguish
between domestic bird and those fere
,,utalrG. He even interrupted the scene of
welcome by bouncing upon maternal
nuscovy. Roscoe received far less cor
dial reception than M. Auguste.
The heroic determination of the visitor
was known aud applauded. There was the
mule of the newer of wood and drawer of
rations Joe Brown, turned out to Craze. The
traces, blind bride, back band and collar,
hung in the stall. There was the plOwh, the
hoe even the cane knife, of the departed Joe
Brown, ready for the volunteer. 1t was of
providence this inspiration. Mr.. Auguste
He stuck his pantaloons into
his grand boots. There appeared good
deal of room between the legs of the
Auguste and the leather of the boots. He
