climbed into tree near window, and
sould see all that went on, | saw old
Mercandon, the steward, glide up to his
masters chair, and say in a low voice:
an. lie Marquis, all is ready"
Z Are all the lackeys gomez
"All, NJ. lie Marquis"
Go you too, then, and leave me to fin
ish it alone"
But the old steward only hung his
head, and answered:
an. lie Marquis, l carried you in my
arms when you were child, and do you
priye me away now?'
" As YOU viii, then, my good fellow"
said the Marquis; Il shall at least have
one honest man beside me at the last
And then he rose slowly To his feet
(for until that moment, he had sat like a
statue), and looked around upon them
all Monsieur, if | live to hundred.
| shall never forget that sight 1.-THE old
noble standing up like tower, with the
long gray hair falling back from his
grand calm face; the great vaulted hall,
with its huge groined arches and dark
paneling of oak; the course figures of
peasants, lolling in the great chairs or
wallowing upon the floor, their rough
faces all swollen and disfgured by drink
and fury, and lust of blood-the red
torch tiaring fitfully over all. There
was that in the old mans face which
silenced the loudest of the rioters; and
you might have heard pin fall a. he
spoke:
Worthy guests, you have done honor
to my good cheer, and it is time that
thank you as you deserve. This is the
first time that my chateau has been de-
filed by the moot of Republican canaille
and it shall be the last! Go, tell your
master, the devil, how the last of the De
Quesnoys repaid your insolence. Nive
lie roi!
He seized a fiambeau which stood near
him, and, STOPPING down, lifted trap
door in the floor, and dropped the torch
through it. And then God preserve us!)
came crash as if the earth had split
as under, and all the air was one hot
blast of fire, and | felt shock like an
earthquake, and knew nothing more.
When | came to myself | was lying on
the soft earth of one of the fiower-beds-
dizzy and stunned, as if | had fallen
from the top of tower, but, thank God,
unhurt! Holy Virginl what sight it
was when | looked round! All about me
was reck of smoke and dust as from
the mouth of furnace; and dimly
through the cloud | could see, on the
spot where the chateau had stood, black
broken walls, and great masses of stone
flung here and there, and smoking TIM
bers, and worse things than that-legs
and arms, and heads scattered on every
side like the leaves in autumn. The
Marquis had filled the cellars with gun
powder, and of all who entered the
chateau, not one was left alive! May
God have mercy upon their souls.

4 PrOpO SitiOn to Divide Tn Utah.

From the San Francisco Bulletin.
The best solution of the Mormon
problem yet proposed is that of dividing
up Utah among the adjoining states
and territories. Two contiguous states,
Nevada and Colorado, do not to-day con-
tain a sufficient population to justify
their admission. Nevada has not &C, 900
people within its borders, and Colorado
has less than 100000. Territorially
there is no reason why the eastern por-
ton of Utah should not be annexed to
Colorado, and the western to Nevada. In
creating the original Territory of Ne
vada, 4 large slice was cut off fIom Utah,
and another portion might now be added
with advantage. Such an addition might
prove advantageous in improving the
politics. of that state by introducing there
in another element And there is no
doubt that the people of Nevada would
take due care to punish polygamy
within their borders Colorado would
be benefited by the annexation Off por-
ton of Eastern Utah, and the territories
of Idaho, Montana, and Arizona could
with advantage absorb the northern and
southern portions.

fire kindlings. They contain a large
amount of potash. 1t is said that an
acre will produce fifty bushels of seed,
and this beside being used for oil, or food
for horses and poultry, may be made into
bread. OF the quality of the bread |
make no statement The old single
lowered and the mammoth Russian are
the best when grown for seed, while the
perfectly double-fiowered varieties make
good ornamental plants among shrub
berry. The flowers abound in food for
bees, and when bean-poles are not plenty
the stalk can be used for that purpose.
One single seed planted in the centre of
a hill of beans held the bean vines for
the season."

Wanted to Exchange.

When Sir Samuel Baker, the African
traveller, was taking leave of Kamrasi,
King of Unyoro, that potentate asked
him, rs particular favor, to leave Lady
Baker behind. This cool request raised
Sir Samuel's ire, and in high Indignation
he told the King that if ever he made
such request again he would shoot him.
Lady Baker, too, who overheard and
understood the offer, felt that a word
from her would not be out of place, and
gave the monarch piece of her mind in
the strongest language she could com
mand. His Majesty for a while WAS
: realty astonished, being unconscious of
having given any ofiense. At last, see
ing that his guests were really angry, he
said, in a deprecating tone, Don't be
angry ! did not mean to offend You by
asking for your wife. | will give you a
wife if you want one, and | thought you
would have no objections to give me
yours. 1t is my custom to give my
visitors pretty wives, and thought you
would like 10 exchange. Don't make a
fuss about it; if you don't like to do as
Others do there's an end of it.

Keeping Poultry in Large Numbers.

Keeping poultry, as a busineis to sup
port Il family, has often been tried in the
United States and England, but with
very poor success. The difficulty seems
to be the fowls, when kept in large num-
bers, are much more subject to diseases,
and to become infected with vermin
This is the experience of all persons who
have kept fowls extensively. Besides
these difficulties, a large number of
fowls cannot be made to extend their
foraging over sufficiently extended
surface of land, 20 to thirty rods from
their house being about as far as they
can be made to roam; and | 900 or more,
would soon exhaust their locality of all
bugs and worms upon it, eat every
spear of grass, and begin to sicken and
fall off in laying eggs. If fowls could
be kept in lots of about 100 each, 40
rods apart, there might be enough kept
on farm to support the owner, as the
profit would average about one dollar
per fowl.

Secretary Thompson W.. the ,Jackass.

When Secretary r w. Thorn pson was
candidate for the Indiana Legislature,
his opponent on one occasion during the
canvass determined to break the charm
of his speech. Accordingly, while Mr..
Thompson was busily talking and his au-
dience hanging on his words, large dom
key was led near, which, when pricked,
began braying, and continued that eIo-
quent discourse for several minutes. Mr..
Thompson stood erect and never moved
a muscle of his face till this vicarious
orator closed. He then very gravely
said: This is not fair play. My com
petitor mi ght have waited until | got
through. But as he determined other
wise, and has exhausted All his argu-
ments, | will now proceed to answer
them" This hard but comical hit
raised shout of laughter, and the re-
suit of the contest was no longer doubt
ed by anybody. His opponent was not
only defeated, but ever afterward had at
tached to hisname that of his four-footed
advocate

CnoIcE LITERATURE.-Choice literature
is nearly as accessible as poor, and the youth
full mind can be taught to discriminate at an
earlier day than many can imagine. Par
ents should read with their children as well
as to them-.and talk with them, too, some
times, instead of at them. Many wou,I be
surprised to find how much their little ones
know, and how many things they want to
know. An intelligent father, who "compan.
ions" with his boy is an educator without
knowing it. A thoughtful mother, who
mates with her girls, proves both her love
and her wisdom as she can do by no formal
aud dutifu service Give more time to
your children's minds good people, and find
your reward 10 their growth in knowledge
aud your own growth in grace. Keep young

separation will ever come between you
