REFUSING A FORTUNE.

Who would believe 1t possible, says
the Paris correspondent Of the Standard,
to find q poor man refusing fortune Of
80.000f.? Yet such an original being is
now to be found in France. His ma me
Is Auguste Eugene Pothier, and he fol-
lows. the calling Of stableman in a
hotel at Orleans. Some months ago his
mother died in Paris, and In her will
left him the sum named, which was
duly deposited by the notary at
the Caisse des Depots ct Consigna-
tons. M. Pothier was informed
of the fact, and requested to come
and fetch his money, but he paid
no attention to the letter. Again
he was written to, but In vain-he went
on smoking his pipe, and cleaning his
horses with the utmost Indifference. At
length the notary, who wanted to get
the affair off his hands, took out sum-
mons against him. Still it was Of no
avail--Auguste Eugene Pothier pre-
ferred to be mulcted in fine and costs
for not answering the legal mandate.
And SO the matter rests at present. 1t
Is said that the stableman, on being re-
monstrated with for his singular con-
duct, replied: II have always heard that
money is the root of all evil, so it may
jpst as we'll remain where 1t is" NJ.
Eugene Pothier deserves to
have q prominent place in the exhibit
ton next year.

is the cited case Of the steam car transporting

analogous.

AN IDYLL OF THE SEA.

Twas a story OF old-time magic
That wove itself In rhyme,
While the surf was making the music,
And the breakers beat the time.
We looked at the cleaning planets,
And wondered at Mars new moons:
We sat on the beach o. mornings,
And walked In the afternoons.
i clasped your tender fingers,
And breathed In your tiny ear
Soft words the occasion called for.
And you-well you smiled to hear.
And-I won't be very certain,
But think you made reply,
That heard as part of the music
think of 1t now with sigh.
We were both OF us very careless,
We didn't remember the tide;
We sat till the rush Of the water
Came up to our very side.
