Susan departed, and Estelle went on dress

satisfactory survey of herself in the long
mirror, she gathered up her fan, handker'
chief and gloves, and went downstairs.
At Mrs. Blandford's closed door she paused
and listened. Everything was silent. None
of the servants were about, and her adopted
father, she rightly surmised, was at his wife's
bedside. She fingered moment or two, then
passed lightly on.

A few minutes later, she entered the car
riage, which stood in waiting at the door, and
was driven off (though not without some
qualms of conscience) to the scene of gayety
and pleasure from which she had been unable
to stay away.
At two o'clock in the morning she returned
home, full of triumph and exultation. She
was Edmund Delancy's promise wife!
As she entered the piazza Mr.. Blandford
came out to meet her, with a stern, set face,
such as she had never seen him wear before.
II congratulate you upon your return" he
said, in tone which fell like ice upon her
shrinking heart. "You are in time to see
your mother before she passes away"

Macedon, and very King he was, though he
was heathen, and one of the wisest of his

PARIS POLICE.

Recently the police arrested man IN the
street who had magnificent Louis XIV. clock
under his coat, and as he was shabbily dressed
and wore hob-nailed brogans, there was sus-
picion that he did not come honestly by an
article of such value. His tale about taking
it to a matchmaker for repairs did not 60
down; the police had heard all that before.
When before the Judge the man had no diff
Guilty in proving that he was M. K, mil
ionaire, and the owner of large city prop
erty. Hisonly fault was that he wore shabby
clothes. This brings up story of that SEN
sible lunatc, as they used to call the DUO de
Grammont-C Caderousse, few years ago. This
gentleman was wild blade, it is true, but yet
a good fellow in every sense of the word, u
grand seigneur, polite and kindly, but often
given to eccentricities and to acts of the wild
est extravaganza. He was the early friend of
Mile. Horteuse Schnider, and the Duke did a
good deal to for her during her first years
upon the stage. He committed suicide at the
age of thirty.two One evening a party of
young men were dining at the Mason dor,
when the Duke gave expression to number
Of democratic theories, and his comrades &C.
cused him of too great fondness for the
people. After having answered according to
his conscience, the Duo de Grammont said {:
"Very we'll, gentlemen, will bet you that,
without having any reason whatever therefor,
the police will arrest me within an hour"
"Without your doing anything?" asked
one.
without doing anything to justify the ar
rest"
"Done for fifty louis!"
As there was no time to lose, Caderousse
jumped into a cab and rode to the temple and
came back in the most sordd costume it is
possible to imagine. The old, greasy cap
upon his head, the pantaloons in rags the old
shoes broken at the toes, and the greasy coat
gave him the air of miserable. He blacked
his face and grimed his hands, then begged
his comrades to follow to witness the arrest.
They followed him to cafe on the Boulevard
Poissoniere, where the Duke seated himself at
table with a sdelong, sneaking motion, and
after moment called to the waiter:
"Garcon, bring me a bottle of champagne"
The waiter hesitated, looked at his clothes
and then said:
but, mon bohomme, that costs twelve
francs"
"Well, suppose it does, grumbled Cade.
rousse, do you think | haven't the means Of
paying?"
And as he said this he drew from one ofhis
dirty pockets package of bank bills and laid
10000 francs down before the astonished
waiter. The latter ran for his patron, and
was sent at once for the sergeants de vile, who
took the Duke into custody upon suspicion of
having stolen money upon his person. The
other young men followed, and heard curious

"TABATHA, LET Us PRAY."-The follow
ing story is published by Connecticut paper:
"There lived in New Haven county, few
years ago, a man whose wife, Tabatha, was as
widely known for her strictness in observing
the Christian Sabbath, as he was for his re-
markable patience in bearing with some Of
her unpleasant ways One Sabbath morning
barrel of -four stood in the front hall, which
had been left there late Saturday evening,
and to the good man seemed to be in the way.
He thought it would not be very wrong to
put it in its proper place before going to
church. So, after breakfast was over, he pro-
ceeded quietly to roll the barrel to its place,
which was up one flight of stairs. No sooner
had he reached the stairs and commenced to
ascend, than his wife came out and forbade him
going any farther, declaring if he did, that
God would withdraw his blessing from them,
and the whole blame would rest upon his
conscience. After pausing moment to think,
he resolved to proceed, and let the conse-
quences be what they would. Having sue
ceeded in getting it half way up the stairs,
Tabatha determined to have it her way, as
usual, reached up and took hold of his feet,
pulling them from under him, when he and
his barrel of -four came tumbling to the bot
tom, causing the head of the barrel to come
out, and covering him with the contents. As
soon as the poor man could remove the -four
from his head sufficiently to speak, he looked
up to his wife meekly and penitently, and
said, 'Tabatha, let US pray"

"a" A distinguished general recently said,
in reply to an inquiry as to his religious senti-
ments, that he thought, if we all did half as
well as we knew how, the Lord would pardon
the rest. A curious minister took occasion,
one morning, to submit this opinion to the
acute judgment of his boot.black. "Och!
that's too thin," said Pat promptly, "too thin,
altogether. Why, if I should black your boots
only half as we'll as l knew how, the boss
would tell me to be off, mighty quick. The
Lord won't discount to us in any such way as

CAREFULNEss.-Ther is no estimating the
amount of hard-earned property which is lost
through want of care in using. We wear
things out by not being careful. We rip and
tear, pitch and jerk, break and smash up
things entirely too much. No wonder there
are always chink holes to be stopped up. No
wonder the barrel gets empty when the leak
is left open. Be careful. Keep cool. Go
slow. Old Moses Stroup, of North Carolina,
is model for US. He has had, for thirty
years, the same cob for shelling corn. He
used the same pocket-knife for thirty years.
He has the moving scythe Of his grandfather,
but it is worn off to its back, and he has laid
it away. Moses is German and philoso-
pher, and we presume rich man. He ought

HOMEWARD SONG.

BY w. p. f.
The day is past, the night has come,
My limbs are tired and weary;
But soon I'll reach my pleasant home
Where all is bright and CHEEKY.
And o, the welcome for me there!
And o, the smiles that greet me
NV wife and little ones so fair
With loving words will meet me.
They hear my footstep far away,
They watch my time for coming;
Each little heart is glad and gay,
Each voice a song is humming.
They know the song that pleases me
When life feels dull and dreary.;
They fill my heart with joy and glee,
Each roguish bright-eyed dearie.

Of lands or marble hall;
But Heaven hath given me priceless health,
And, better far than all,
A faithful wife that loves me dear
Worth all the worlds bright gold
Whose love grows stronger ever year
Then when at first twas told.
And though I'm poor, no earthly king
Than can happier be,
With prattling ones that laugh and sing
At home around my knee.
My wife is queen, our children dear
The only gems we ask;
We try to fill Heavens mission here,
And happy is the task.

s9" A Western paper gives its readers this
bit of seasonable advice "Gettipg up in a
cold room to make fire is like getting up in
life. If you crawl timidly out of bed, 60 on
tip-toe to the stove, and allow the shivers to
get control of you before the kindling starts,
your fire will probably be a failure, and you
will half freeze to death in the operation.
But if you jump out bravely, hustle around,
pull on your clothes, knock over a chair or
two, and pitch in the stovewood, you will
probably be too warm by the time the fire
gets to burning, and have to open a window.
So in life. Attack it timidly and you will
fail. Grapple with it, hurry up things. stir
around, conquer fortune, and you will be a
success"

sweet on very young lady, and began to
show her very serious attentions. The girls
parents, thinking both too young to begin to
keep company with each other, gave gentle
hint to that ef1ect-frst, by calling the girl

secondly, by the lady of the house bringing

Germany, it might be supposed, has long

ible with her professedly peaceful intentions.
Yet the provisions for the new bill tor organ
izing the Landsturm make it possible to call
into the field, by very summary process, forces
aggregating the enormous amount OF Z,ooo'-
900 men. By the terms of the law the sigma
ture of the Emperor, without even the assent
of the State Council, will suffice to put under
arms all able.bodied men between seventeen
and forty-two years in any or all of the pro-
vnces of the empire SHOULD any enemy in.

Those who have already served their full term
in the army and the reserve are not exempt !;
the Landsturm may at any time be called
upon to gil up gaps in the Landwehr (re-

semblage in peace, are as completely register
ed in the war office, as those of the llne The
arms for these new contingents are announced
to be ready-the needle-guns, that is, which
have been displaced by the adoption Of the
Mauser rifle for the line and the reserve.
The bill was sharply opposed throughout
the debate by the Ultramontanes, who were
seconded by section of the advanced Liber-
ais. They argued that the charter Of the
Empire limited the possibility of military
service to q term of twelve years, which nearly
half those now made liable had already un'
dergone that the Landsturm could not under
any circumstances be called upon to fill up the
regular army or to pass German frontiers;
and that such an addition to the enormous
existing hosts could not fail to alarm other
nations and precipitate war. The moderate
Liberals, to man, supported the Government
in urging that the peculiar geographical sltu'
alton of Germany made it essential that she
should always be enabled to command victory
on every side, since her defeat by a singly
neighbor would be the signal for assault be
others in remote quarters. This argument IS
borne out by the fact that Frances regular
army of 1,118,000 officers and men can be
supplemented by 100000 territorial reserves"
in time of need that Russia's 100000 ex-
isting troops will in few years have an avail
able reserve of 100000, and that Austria,
Italy, Denmark, Holland and Switzerland
all bordering upon Germany-area all arming
as quickly as possible.
It is natural that, under circumstances like
these, men should ask themselves whether
peace can long be maintained, and whether,
even if a show of strength can preserve it, its
preservation is worth seeking at the sacrifice
of everything that makes little enjoyable
