Cloud Banners of the Aims.

Among the most exquisite scenes which
delight the eye of the European traveller
are those wonderful, rose-colorei cloud
banners floating from the Alpine cliffs.
But it is only in the sunlight that Nature
hangs out these beautiful tokens. So it is
only in the glow of health-the sunlight of
our inner being-that Nature reveals those
physical cloud banners, the rosy cheek"
and cherry lip" to praise which every
poet of the earth has invoked the Muse to
aid him. But they are SIS rareas the cynical

If woman would aid Nature instead of
adopting Art, would seek health instead of

not only win the gre 4test charm of woman

misery, both from herself aud others. Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription has received
the highest praise from thousands of pale

"And as for the dear old man, l shall
be delighted if he will stay here alto
gether, exactly as he used to do. We
will be as happy as we have been dur
ing the last few weeks"
And the happy girl was obliged to
confess that if she loved Lescombe and
her father she also truly loved Frank
Eveleigh.
l do not exactly know what were the
settlements and the business arrange
ments. They were in the safe hands OF
Mr.. Parker and the gentleman on the
other side. As the Major lucidly ex-
planned the matter, any money he put
up into the estate would eventually come
back to him. Itwas only taking money
out OF one waistcoat pocket and putting
it into the other. Hardy was the &c best
man" on the occasion of the marriage.
Gertrude finds that, much as she loves
Lescombe, a run on the Continent and a
season in town are endurable. The
Squire continues the virtual lord of Les
combe. The Everleighs have two sons;
and one of them, christened Lescombe,
is to assume the name and arms of his
grandfather; so that there is every prob
ability that there will be another Les
combe Lescombe of escombe.-LOndon

A French Dog.

Mile. D., good and worthy lady,
who lived in q country-house in the
neighborhood of Columbier, had a dog
of special intelligence. He was of the
race of poodles, which, every body knows,
is remarkably sagacious. When Mile.
d. passed the evening with ladies of her
acquaintance in Columbier, as often
happened, the dog lighted her home by
carrying too little lanterns, which were
fastened on each end of stick which
he carried in his mouth If she went to
walk during the day the faithful dog
carried her work-basket. On beauti-
full autumn morning, as Mile. d. was
going by vineyard on her way back
from Columbier, hare sprang out into
the road. The dog set out after him,
forsook his mistress, and sowed part
of the contents of the work-basket at
every turn in the field. When he came
home with the empty basket Mile. d.
scolded him well. Wholly ashamed,
with dropping ears and tail, he did not
wait for the end of the lecture, but
scampered off. Scarcely. had half an
hour passed when he came gayly back,
bringing a pair of shears; then he hur-
ried off again and brought the knitting
work; then skein of thread, and at
evening all the articles which the basket
had contained, except the thimble, were
together again.-PariS Letter.

An Italian Romance.

A sad affair has lately been brought
to light in Italy. In small cave near
Udino, a woman was found who had
been imprisoned there 80 years. In
1874 she became attached to an Austrian
officer, but her father, violent hater of
the Austrians, who at that time were in
possession of that part of Italy where ne
resided, refused his consent to mar
riage. The girl stated that she would
then marry without his permission. He
dissimulated his anger, and during
walk, in which he accompanied her, he
induced her to descend into a cave with
him by means of rope-ladder, with a
view of examining it. He was the first
to ascend to the surface, and, withdraw
ING the ladder, left her. She was kept
regularly supplied with food and cloth
inc. Even when her cruel father died
she was not released, for her sister,
whose hatred towards the Austrians was
equally great, continued the imprison-
ment. The unfortunate woman, on her
liberation, had complexion of death
like pallor, caused by the darkness in
which she had so long lived, and her
voice had departed, through constant
cries for help during the early part Of
her seouestration. She could speak
only in a hoarse whisper.-Albdny
Knickerbocker.

A Graphic Description.

In one of the Justices Courts the
other day witness in an assault and
battery case gave his version of the affair
as follows:
"Well. sir, the two stood facing each
other, one kinder growled and the other
kinder cApekled. Then they made mp
faces at each other. Then one dast and
the other dasn't. Then they kinder
walked around. Then they poked up
their hats and spit on their hands,"
"And them" asked the lawyer, as the
witness paused for breath.
"And then they glared at each other.
Then they made up faces again. Then
somebody hollered for 'em to go in and
kick each other all to death. Then they
kinder got ready, pulled their hats down
and they rushed together like two big
ferry-boats, reared up on end, came
down with an awful crash, and the next
thing | saw was this ere mans coat all
ripped up the back, and that ERE mans
nose all chawed zig-zag, and that's all
l know about the murder. "-Detr0it

THE RECOVERED ES FATE.

Lescounbe Hall, the property of Les
combe Lescombe, Esq, was a property
of its KIM exceedingly pleasant and at
tractive. 1t was situated on a promon-
tory, in one of the southwestern coun-
ties of England, which stretched some
what broadly into the sea, terminating
in a point, on which were situated the
picturesque ruins of an ancient chapel,
which, in the days of faith, piouS fisher
men had erected to their patron saint.
The house itself was sheltered from the
sea-breeze by low-lying hills; it was
well-nigh covered with ivy; an ancient
colony of rocks had built for genera
tons in the tall trees; a pretty cottage,
instead of the modern kind of edifice,
served as a lodge to the park-like
grounds; and all the land within the
promontory, strictly so-called, formed
the Home Farm. Other land there was
outlying the Home Farm, where labor
ers' cottages, the best IN the whole
county, lay, nestled each in its own hold
ing-a veritable model village, although
it did not arrogate to itself that title, as
the manner of some pharisaical villages
is. Beyond this the Leseombe estate did
not go, although a few generations back
il extended over a dozen thousand
acres, which were now broken up into
farms and holdings and lesser estates.
But the owner of the hall was the lord
of the manor; and, whether by
courtesy or right, he had the
shooting over the whole of the original
estate. But the present story is
not concerned, as so many pleasant
stories are, with ancestral acres and an
cestral halls. 1t is rather concerned
with Egyptian bonds and Turkish Sc
curities. The father of our present Mr..
Leseombe was a man who had done a
great deal of prosperous business in the
money-marts. Just as he had made a
competent fortune he found that the
hall, manor, village and adowsom of
Lescombe, with divers rights of fishing
and shooting, were in the market. 1t
was curious coincidence that the name
OF this property should be the same as
MS own name. 1t took the old man S
fancy hugely that he should be Les
combe OF Lescombs. The former peo-
pie who had It were of another name,
probably derived from another proper

WHEN he comes to take his leave in
the evening, she picks up his hat, care
fully brushes off imaginary pieces of
lint, lovingly poises it on his left ear,
and then stands on her tip-toes and low
ingly plants goodnight kiss on his
lips that sends him home to dream that
he is the prescription clerk in a per-
fumery store. Let that young man be-
ware. He is paving the way to a new
life when she will facilitate his egress
from the house through the moral sua-
sion of a mop stick, and kick his hat
out after him; while the last Whit of her
