CHAPTER XNIV.
PRIDE LEyELED TO THE DUST.

Yes; it was tho Count Lionel de VAL
court-but rather the shadow than the
man. His head, wlirh he usually held so
erect, was bent upon his breast; his figure
was bent, his eyes had lost their fire, and
his long, white hands, trcmblrd as though
he had been smitten with palsy.
In one night he had aged twenty years.
These robust and handsome old mem
resemble those ancient trees, whose interi-
ors are eaten with decay, while the bark
retains all the appearance of vigor and
youth, but crumble into powder at the
first rough touch.
They seem 10 defy the cruel hand of
Time; but the first tempest lays them
low.
The Count looked such an embodiment
of despair, that the magistrate shuddercd.
with Il feeling of genuine pity.
He rose, and handed him chair, into
which he sunk heavily.
"Pardon mew he said; "but feel so
weak that | can hardly stand uprightw
Few, even amongst hi. friends, had ever
heard the proud old man excuse himself;
but now he spoke humily, and as child.
~ fear you are too i'll, sir" said Mon
sieur Dahuron, 'to be able to aid me with
any explanations upon this most painful
AFFAIR.""
"Oh, I'm better-better. thank you"
answered the Count. ~ feel as we'll as

"SOLD, BY THUNDER! I"

One night, recently, Il Whitehall gentle
man Was on the Troy train returning home.
At Saratoga q gentleman from Rutland
took n scat behind the Whitchaller. In u
few minutes a conversation was opened bo-
tween the two. Asccrtaiuing that our
friend Was from Whitehall, the Rutland
gentleman asked him if he knew wilkins.
the editor Of the Times.
"Know him 7 ought to know him, for
he is very intimate with my wife,
"You don't say ?' replied the Eutland
man, i'll astonishment.
"Ycs sir. I don't want i. repeated, but /
have indisput.,ble evidence that he has
been on terms of the closest intimacy with
her."
"But. my friend. you don't live with tho
woman"
"Ies sir; strange as it MAY sccm do.
sir, you little know what Il man will put
up with from the woman he loves This
intimacy has been carried on for years right
under my very nose, and yet by tho love |
bear the woman have never yet broken
with my wife
But you cannot possibly put up with
such conduct on tho part Of your wife ? If
she is intimate with wilkins, should think
you would brand the william before the
world. l would not submit No sir |
would not, never!'
The Rutland man had worked himself up
to u pitch of excitement. when the train
stopped at Whitehall
Good night, sir' said the Whitehall
gentleman. Il hope we will moct again
thank you for the einterest you have taken
in my atfairs;'' and the two gentlemen
shook hands and parted.
Just then the conductor entered the car,
and tho Rutland man stepped up and asked
him who the gentleman was he was lust
convers!ns with
"That man." said Conductor Holcomb;
"dont you know him? That is Wilkins, cd
itor Of tho Whitehall Times"
"Gold, by thunder!" said the Rutland
man, putting his fingers i'll his pocket and
taking out something. Mr. Conductor,
will you please give him this card and ac-
companying 50, and tell him to send re
his paper SO lon, as the money las.J?''

stammcrcd forth the truth:

"Why don't you know?"
Finding that the child persisted in her
interrogatorics, despite the mild reproof of
her parents, he concluded TO make Il clean

was the result of inward explativcs:
"Well, we don't live together; we think,

He stitied a groan as the child began
again, and dartcd an exasperated look at
her parents. Iut the little torment would
not be quietcd until she exclaimed.

BEFORE wAGRAnf.

On the night Of the 22d the north.
ern bank of the Danube presented q
fearful spectacle; the flames Of burn
ing villages and Enclosures threw O
CHASTITY light on piles Of the dead and
masses OF the ruined material of war,
and despair and fear had replaced con-
tidcnco in the minds OF the young
French soldicry. At u council Of war
held on the Island Of Lobau, Napo-
Icon S licutenantS to man recon-.
mCndcd IL retreat to the southern bank
OF the Danube, even ut the cost Of
abandoning the wounded, and moro
than one of them expressed apprehcn-
SiOnS that, after the shock it had re-
cciycd, the French army would be COM
PEELED to fall back to the Inn across
the Rhine. But the more during spirit
OF Nanoltpl rrsnatc | tha5o coua-
sells OF timil caution, which, lie just,
~ observed, would prove disastrous;
he Insisted that, though the northern
bank CT The Danube should be- at osco
evacuated, ais troops should retro no
further than the Island OF Lobau, pcr.
suadcd that, after two desperate bat
ties, the Arcl,duhc would not try to
attack and experience proved that
his view was correct, though possibly
Il more vigorous antagonist would have
made his resolution fatal to him. Dur
ing The night of the 23I, Massena, who
had added to his fame by tho defence
of Essting, supcrntcnlel tho retro-
grade movement, while the Emperor,
with Dayouat and other chiefs fs-Lan-
ncS he'd met u soldiers death on the
ficll-crO5Scl 10 the southern bank to
secure the passage and to provide for
the wants of the soldiers; and by tho
close of the ODD the French Army was
safely cncampcl within the island,
without having been seriously molest-

resolution he displayed almost justi-
fed the false assertion that he had
not suffered any reverse whatever, he
had suddenly met u real defeat; and

it is not dii1icllt to SEQ the reason. 1t
was IL capital mistake to have at
tempted to cross IL river of such size
and depth in the face Of . strong, con-
ccntrGted foe, relying on q single
bridge only, and, with u different op-
poncnt, such an error might have led
to a serious catastrophe. 1t is prob-
able that, in ycnturing on this fulso
movement, Napoleon, Judging from
past experience, and thinking that tho
.lustri;tuS wcro beaten troops, believed
that the Archdllkc would retreat be-
fore him when his army appeared ON
the northern bank, and that he would
have ample space to pursue his adver-
sary, and to oblige him to fight far be.
yond the Danube. But this eXpecta-
ton was at best doubtful it was not
likely to be fulfilled considering the
temper Of the Austrian Army; and il
this experiment of the French Em-
peror we see not only the habitual
contempt he entertained for defeated
enemy, however tenacious, patriotic,
and brave, but also that reckless over
confidence which sometimes got tho
better of his judgment, and may bo
traced even in his most splcn..il OK
ploits. Temple Ear.

SHAKING HANDS, BOYlNG, AND
StLITING.

Acts of courtesy may be merely con-
yentional, or they may be the outward
manifestation Of the higher inward
courtesy. The grasp Of the hand had
in all probability two signiiications. In
the times referred to, when war was
the normal state, and man little better
than Il lighting animal. some mistrust
naturally accompanied proffered
friendship; each therefore grasped
the weapon hand OF the other, us d Sc
curity against trcachcry. The other
idea Of claspinS hands was undoubted-
ly that OF "iastcniug together in peace
and friendship" us Tyler expresses it;
and he goes on TO trace the ctymology
OF the word peace to this action, find
ing it in the Sunsc.lt ''pac," to bind.
1t is nov Il piece Of convcntionulity to
take off the glove before shaking
hands with Il Lady; but this custom
began in the days of chivalry, when
the glove was Il steel gauntlet, grasp
from which might be painful. Tho
bowand the courtesy are but abbrcvia-
tionS of signs of submission, but u hu-
mauiZcd form OF the covering OF an
animal before its masters $ rebukc. At
present it exists in all Sratlttions, from
the Chinese "ko-tUW," to the slight
bend Of the head in token Of recogni-
ton or respect. 10 uncover the head
meant originally to remove tho he'll
met, thus laying aside the chief safe
guard, and placing the person ut tho
mercy Of those present. Women do
not uncover the head, never having
worn Il headdrcas as Il means de-
fcnsc. The courtesy shown to women,
dating frJin the age OF chivalry, arose
not merely fr6n the tenderness OF the
strong toward the weak, but also from
the recognition of something divine in
womanhood. 4 something that set
her apart from the sordid self-sceking
and hardness Of heart too prevalent
among those whose work lies in tho
camp, the forum or tho mart. Would
that this ideal could be sustained. 1t
is only this elevation Of the sex that
can give it q claim to that courteous
treatment that has always been con-
sidcrcd it's due. The .4rgosD.
