"P. S.-Try to send me something
from France, not that am afraid that
I shall forgot you, but that 1 may wear
it always. Kiss what you send me. I
am sure that 1 shall find the place of
your kiss again."
When the letter was read, Pierre re-
sumed:
"Arnold," said he, "gave me this let
ter last night when my billet Of quarters
was received. All night could not
sleep. 1 thought of the village and
Marie. She asked me for something
from France. had no money. 1 had
pledged my pay for three months for
my brother and my cousin, who had re-
turned home few days before. This
morning when arose to leave I opened
the window. A blue handkerchief was
hanging on line; it resembled that of
Marie's; it was the same color, the same
white stripes. 1 was weak enough to
take it and put it IN my sack. went
down into the street; 1 repented of what
had done, and was about returning to
the house when this woman ran after
me. The handkerchief was found upon
me, that is the truth. The capitulation
demands that l shall be shot. Shoot me,
but do not despise me-"
The judges could not restrain their
emotion-but, notwithstanding, when
the vote was taken, he was unanimously
condemned to death. He heard the ver-
dict with composure; then, approaching
his captain, he begged him to lend him
four francs. The captain gave them to
him. saw then he advanced toward
the woman, to whom the blue handker-
chief had been restored, and 1 heard
these words:
Madame, here are four francs; 1
don't knowif your handkerchief is worth
any more, but even should it be, I pay
dear enough for it, and you ought to
excuse me for the difference"
Then, taking the handkerchief, he
kissed it and gave it to the captain.
"My captain" said he, "in two years
you will return to our mountains if you
go near to Arenburg, ask for Marie, give
her this blue handkerchief, but do not
tell her how 1 bought it.
He then knelt in prayer, and marched
with firm step to his execution.
retired then, and entered the wood,
that I might not witness this cruel
tragedy. A few musket-shots soon ap-
prised me that all was over. I returned
in an hour afterward the regiment had
departed (; all was quiet; but in skirt
ing the edge of the wood to regain the
road, perceived, at few PAGES before
me, traces of blood and heap of earth
freshly made. I took q branch of fir tree
and made a sort of cross I placed it on
the grave of poor Pierre, forgotten now
by all the world except myself and per-
haps Marie.

How to Burn Kerosene.

A correspondent of the New York
San calls attention of all consumers of
kerosene oil to the pernicious and I'M
healthy practice of using lamps filled
with that article with the wicks turned
down. The gas which should be con
sumed by the flames is by this means
left heavily in the air, while the cost of
the oil thus saved at present prices
would scarcely be one dollar q year for
the lamps of household. His atten-
tion was called particularly to this Gus
tom by boarding in the country where
kerosene was the only available light. A
large family of children living in the
same house were taken i'll one night,
and on going to the nursery the mother
found the room nearly suffocating. with
a lamp turned down, whereupon the
physician forbade the use of lamp at
night, unless turned at full head. He
said he could quote many cases, one of
a young girl subject to fits of faintness,
which if not induced, were greatly in
creased by sleeping in room with the
lamp almost turned out. Besides the
damage to health, it spoils the paper
and curtains, soils the mirrows and
windows, and gives the whole house an
untidy air and unwholesOme odor,

John Brown and the Queen.

A correspondent of the San Francisco
Newsletter, now in England, writes :
Many anecdotes are told concerning the
sort of relationship which exists between
our honored lady, the queen, and her
faithful servant, John Brown. Some of
these must of course be taken with a
grain of salt, but the following, I be-
ieve, can be relied upon: Johns affec-
ton for her majesty is very great. It
was Prince Albert who first took the
man, simply because he was straightfor-
ward and extremely independent. John
never alters his broad Scotch tongue to
please any one, not even royalty itself
The queen was once getting settled cozi-
ly upon her little Highland pony. The
animal being small, and the roads dusty,
it became necessary to tuck up her rid
ing habit with pin. John Brown was
performing this office, when suddenly,
ooh, dear !'' exclaimed her majesty,
"you have pricked me, Brown" "Your
majesty should wear mair claes, then,'
was Johns reply. Brown was presently
after sent in to fetch certain mantle
which the queen described. Instead of
bringing the one described, John brought
much thicker one. Brown" said
the queen, Z" that isn't the one at all. "
"It's just this and nae ither, your maies-
ty," said John, buckling it behind the
saddle =" I ken mair about the weather
than you" and the queen submitted like
a child.

A Strange Hackman,

Niagara Falls, whose hackmen have
long been the bane of travellers existence,
have finally developed quite a romance
in connection with one of the craft,
named Thomas Burke. A few after
moons ago, as Thomas was sitting be-
hind his team and dreaming of new
customers to be feeced, he was sur
prised by the appearance of lady and
gentleman, who requested a converse
ton. AS they came near Burke recog-
nized the lady as one whom hehad saved
from drowning by swimming with her in
his arms to the shore, on the occasion of
an explosion on the Ohio, fourye ago.
The lady explained that the gentleman,
wealthy banker, was her husband, and
then put a valuable gold ring upon
Burke's finger. Then the gentleman
offered him pecuniary assistance, but
thiswa declined. Then he proposed to
buy the team and hack that Burke was
in charge of, but the poor fellow refused
this also, saying that he was addicted to
drink, and could not make good use of
them, and they would pass from his
hands in a short time. The gentleman
thereupon treated him to o very kindly
temperance lecture and departed.
Thomas will undoubtly try to reform,
for he knows the eyes of a sincere friend
are on him, and that there is chance
for him in the world if he proves him
self worthy of it,

A South Carolina paper has been after
Parson Brownlow, and the reverend edi-
tor in reply says: This I understand to
be cautiously worded challenge to fight
a duel. 1 accept the challenge. The
laws governing the code OF honor allow
the challenged party to designate time
and place and weapons for duel. l
appoint that we fight in an open-top
hogpen, Immediately after hard sum-
mer rain, and that the weapons be dung
forks. Whoever shall toss the other out
shall be regarded as having killed him in

Two Pictures.
BEFORE MARRIAGE.

BEFORE MARRIAGE.
My Maggie my beautiful darling,
Come into my arms, my sweet,
Let me fold you again to my bosom
So close that can hear your heart beat.
What these little fingers been sewing2
Ones been pricked by the needle, 1 see;
These hands shall be kept free from labor
When once they are given to me.
All mine, little pet, will shield you
From trouble and labor and care,
will robe you like some fairy princess,
And jewels shall CLEAN in your hair;
Those slippers you gave me are perfect
That dressing gown fits to a t
My darling, wonder that Heaven 'l
Should give such treasure to me.
Eight --nine-ten- eleven my precious,
Time flies so when l am with you,
1t seems but moment I've been here.
And now, must say it?-Adieu
AFTER MARRIAGE.
oh, Meg, you are heavy-Im tired;
Go sit in the rocker pray;
Your weight seems hundred and ninety
When you plump down in that sort Of way;
You had better be mending my coat sleeve
I've spoken about it before
And l want to finish this novel
And look over those bills from the store.
This dressing gown acts very badly;
These slippers run down in the heel
Strange, nothing can ever look decent;
wish you could know how they feel.
What's this bill from Morgan's? Why, surely,
It's not for another new dress?
Look here I'll be bankrupG ere New Year,
Or your store bills will have to grow less.
Eight o'clock Meg sew on this button
AS soon as you finish that sleeve;
Heigh-ho! I'm so deucedly sleepy,
I'll pile off to bed, believe.

Queer Fishing.

1t is related for verify that aman set
a trout line in the river at Macon with
one hook baited with live frog. On
going to his line next morning he was
surprised to find it lifted out of the
water and into the branches of neigh
boring tree. A close examination re-
vealed the fact that his live bait had
been gobbled by an owl during the
night, and the owl in turn had been caught
by the hook. We simply tell this tale
as it was told to us, nothing prevaricat-
ing and nought set down to test the
credulity of the people.
