The Flood in France.

The late foundations in Franco
were remarkable for theirextent, and
for the destruction of life and prop.
ertyW The latest dispatches place the
damage to property ii the city d
Toulouse, and its environs, alone, at
the! enormous sum Of $26, 0OO, 900. -
Toulouse IS situated on the river Ga.
rome, and is built partly on an
island in the stream. The two parts
are connected by d bridge. The is
land part Of the town was totally sub.
merged, and 50 rapid was the raise
ofthe water, that littleor no oppor.
tunity was given for escape. Two
hundred bodies have already been
recovered from this part Of the town.
5Intthe section on the mainland, the
loss oflife was also frightful, many
persons being drownded in their
houses. si3
The banks ofthe, Garronne are low
and overaows often occur, but no
flood like this was ever known in that
section before. More than twenty
thousand people are without food Or
shelter there, every thing which they
had having been swept away. But
the foods have not been confped, to
the valley Of the Garonne. Ii, the
department Of Ariege, the village Of
Tlremoullet was almost entirely swept
away, only five houses having been
left standing; and in the district Of
Fax, dead bodies are scattered over
the country and ii the streets. In
the inundated sections, the people
are suffering for the nccessaries 81
life. Not ~ only are AZ Of the growing
crops ruined, but houses and. goods
are destroyed. The assembly has
voted $338, 900 for the relief Of the
sufferers. The Pope has sent them
$4,000. All Of the journals Of Paris
have opened subscriptions, and ii
seems that the devastated districts

The Guards Story.

| The Guards Story.
BY r. L. CARY, JR.
we were on picket, Sir, he and I,
Under tine blue Of midnight sky.
10 the wilderness, where the night bird,
song
l3ives hack an echo all night long:
where silver stars as they come and pass
Leave stars of dew on the tangled grsss,
And the rivers sing in the silent hours
Their sweetest songs to the list'ning fiow
ers
He'd slender form. and gislish faca.
That seemed in the army ont OF place,
Through he smiled As I told him 90 that dsy
Ave, smiled, and flushed in . girlish w.y
That minded me of face knew,
In Northern village, meath the blue:
When cur army marched. at the meadow
| bars
She met and kissed me meath the stars.
Before Us the river silent ran,
And we'd been placed to guard the ford.
A dangerous place, and we'd jump and
start
Every time that leaf BY the wind wal
Stirred.
Behind Us the army lay encamped.
Their camp-fires burned into the night
Like borfires built upon the hills.
And set by demon hands alight.
Somehow, whenever looked that way
1seemed TO see her face again,
Kind O. hazy like, as you've seen star
A peepin' out through misty rain;
And once, ! believe. as thought of her,
l Thought aloud and called him Bcss,
When he started quick. and smiling said,
''You dream of some one ct home. I
guess"
Twas just in the flush of the morning light,
Wed stopped for chat at the end of
our beat,
When rifle flashed at the rivers bank,
And bathed in blood lie sank at my feet;
All of sudden knew her then,
And kneeling, kissed the girlish face;
And raised her head from the tangled grass,
To find on my breast it's resting place.
When the corporal came to change the
guard;
At six in the morn, he found me there,
With Bessie's dead form clasped in my
arms,
And hid in my heart her dying prayer;
They buried her under the moaning pines,
And never man in the army knew
That Willie Searles and my girl were one !:
You're the first I've told. the story's new.

We went IN. At least the haronet went
into the room, trembling in every limb
with the excitement Of seeing his son.
but when he set eyes on him. the poor
old man was so startled that he could
scarcely speak. His son saw him and
tried to rise. but fell back feebly In his
chair. Dear father.' he murmured,
stretching out . thin, trembling hand,
''forgive-"
But the father was on his knees by the
chair in moment. clasping his sons
head in his arms. and fondling him as he
had done when the man was baby.
''What have to forgive? You must
forgive me for being so hard. my dear
boy, and get better soon, Wilfred, my
son!"
I, too, had come into the room; could
not help it; I was SO interested and ex-
cited. But saw that in the young mans
face, which made my heart sink in my
bosom like lead.
The young wife saw it too, and gave
one, two,' three sharp screams, as If a
knife had been thrust in her side.
Mr.. Broadman saw it; and quietly
kneeling down, commended to God-as
we'll as he could for sobbing-the soul of
His servant departing this life.
And I-well, why should I be ashamed
to confess it'll knelt down too, and cried
like child; for the young man had died
IN his fathers arms at the very moment of
reconciliation.
