A Heroine of the Commune

The following was related TO me ye-ter-
day of noble woman whose name should
live in history. She, together with her lover,
young surgeon, had taken care OF the
wounded Communists during the days aud
night. of their fierce fighting with the Yer
sailles troops. Upon the entry Of the latter
into the city, when excitement Was at is
height, and when every one suspected Of COM
plicitity with the Commune was shot with
ont question being asked, the surgeon was
arrested and brought before the drum-hs al
tribunal. in the Place du Cbatele:. His lie
trembled for the moment in the balance, but
was finally saved by the iniercession OF one
of the judges present, who was an intimate
friend of the accused. As the latter Vas
being led from the room he met the woman
whom he loved, who had helped him in the
care of the wounded, and who was now &C.
cpsed of the same crime ss himself had
been. Good God. Marie" he exclaimed,
''are you here, ,oor' The woman took the
whole scene In at glance, saw the danger
into which she would plunge her lover
should she recognise him, and drew herself
up coldlv, ssying: lyon are mistaken. sir. !"

What You Do, Do Well.

After years and years of intoxicating the
above principle that should govern farmers
in ali their l1bors, We find the world full of
cultivators Of the soil who live and act as
though they had never heard of "doing
things welr' in their lives. Everything they
attempt to perform shows lack of care, at
teu,ion and knowledge at what is TO their
own interests. Wherever you find farmer
who has steadily grown rich By the sweat Of
his brow, Won will find man who does we'll
whatever he performs. His house is always
in good repair, we'll painted, etc hi. grounds
aroussi his dwelling neatly laid out, with
abundance of good fruit and shade trees; his
ou,-houses good and commodious, we'll ar
ranged, and also in good order. His cattle
and horses are Of good stock and in good
condition, and he has Q system of doing
work that accomplishes what he under
takes, and he does not leave everything half
done as many farmers do who drag through
