The, story of the marriage Of Lamar
tine. the great French poet and states
man, is one of romantic interest. The
lady was of an English family named
Birch, and very wealthy. She fifstfell
In love with the poet from reading his
calculations Poetiques." She was slight
ly past the bloom of youth, but still
Young and fair. She read and re-read
the s.Meditations," and nursed the ten
der sentiment in secret. At length she
saw Lamartine in Genoa, and her love
became a part of her very life. Not
long after this she was made acquainted
with the fact that the poet was suffering,
even to unhappiness, from the embar-
raised state of his pecuniary affairs. Miss
Birch was not long in deciding upon her
course. She would not allow the happl-
ness of a lifetime to slip from her if she
could prevent it. She wrote to the pQe1
a frank and womanly letter, acknowledg-
ing her deep interest and profound reT
spect, and offering him the baiK>Df her
fortune, if he were willing to accept 1t.
Of course, Lamartindeoiil hekbub sls'
pect the truth. Deeply touched by her
generosity he, called, upon her, and
found her to be not only fair to look upon
but a woman. of brilliant, literary and
artistic education. He made an Offer, OF
his hand and heart, and was promptly
and gladly. and in after years
Alfonso DE LamaYtipeT owed not more TO
his wifes wealth ttiianfto her sustaining
love and inspiring enthusiasm.

The Slaughter of Birds for their Piunm,aaseee.s

The Slaughter of Birds for their Piumage.
Mr.. Alfred Newton writes a. strfkih o,
protest to the Times against the whole.
sale slaughter of birds for the sake of or.
namental feathers. He quotes the pro-
ceedings of single sale of feathers TO
show that to supply that sale alone s, 100
herons Tor egrets) must have been DESTROY
ed. All these feathers are said 10 have
come from India last autumn. Mr.. New
ton observes that no country could sun
ply 10000 herons in single breeding
season without nearly roofing out the
stock. Moreover, $4,000 humming birds
and upward were included in the sale, of
which 74O were of single kind. As far
as we know, none of these birds really
diminish the stock Of food available for
man, so that in destroying them for mere
show we empty the world absolutely of
a certain portion of its beauty and happi-
ness-While the beauty is certainly by no
means made up in the ornamentation of
feminine toilets which is thus procured.
In this age of fine moralities does no one
really bestow a thought on the morality
of such reckless spoilation of life as this

was bending over it, the medal disap-

it had slipped from his hand and fallen
on the floor. After a scrupulOus exam
ination of every chink and Granny in the
room-the officials began to doubt the
strangers integrity, and intimated that
It would be necessary to- call in detec-

the gentleman evinced great mental dis
