A friend told us an anecdote, the other day,
quite new to us: When Ellen Tree, after
wards Mrs. Charles Kean, was visiting France
some years ago, one of the custom house Of
ficers was proceeding to examine her trunk
for contraband goods. Contraband goods, !"
exclaimed bystander, who ever heard of
contraband goods in tho trunk of tree ?"
OF course the joke was lost on the Frenchman,
but Miss Tree laughed till she cried.

CHAPTER nj.

IIeen's first impressions Of her new home
may be gathered from the following letter to
Madame Preville, written two days after her
arrival. 1t was written in French, but we
take the liberty of translatng it into English:
"My DEAREST DEAREST FRIEND II
reached here safely day before yesterday, at.
ter a voyage which would have been very
agreeable if had not carried Il sad heart |
thought of you all the time. | still think OF
you and my dear home at LIE Bocage day
and night. suppose you will want to know
something of the place and people | am
among. 1t all seems so strange, so strange
Everything is quite different from what
have been accustomed to; and yet | am
family reminded Of certain shadowy images
of my childish days, which seem to be re-
vived bv my return to my former home. This
is not the house used to live in, however.
That was sold long ago, am told, and has
since been pulled down. This is my uncle
Dashwood's house; it is very large and ele-
giant, and all the furniture is new and glitter
inc; to me it has not a homelike, comforta-
be look, like the dear old rooms at LIE Bo-
cage. have two apartments at nay disposal,
a bed chamber and a dressing. room, both
spacious aud comfortably furnished. My

"Oh! DEAR" sighed Myra. "There is no
chance of my being able to 60 anywhere
DO you know I'd give anything to be an heir
ess like you, just so as to be able to do what
l pleased with myself"
81 am sure I wish you we're, then" said
Helen, half smiling. 81 would willingly
give you all my fortune, if"
She checked herself, not thinking it wise to
express too decided sentiment in regard to
her present situation but Myra supplied the
blank.
"If you could only 60 back, I suppose you
mean" she said. "Well, don't wonder. |
don't think you would ever have been sent
for, if this great fortune hadn't been left to
you, and that's the truth of it"
Poor Helen she was not likely to be left
in ignorance Of the motives which prompted
the conduct of those around her, with Myra's
superior worldly wisdom to shed its light up
on her understanding. She colored again,
more deeply than before, and remained ST.
lent, not knowing what rejoinder to make to
this communication. Myra probably read
ber chagrin in the expression of her face, for
she added, in penitent tone -
II ought not to have told you that. 1t was
awfully bad in me, after you were so good
and kind in coming up here to try and do
me good. But it seemed to me you couldn't
help knowing it. There never was more
mercenary person in this world than Aunt
she just ,rorships money. Don't know how
differently I would be treated, if l wasn't
poor? Yes, indeed; I would be dear, dar-
ling Myra, then. hate such ways" the
girl cried, 6ercely clenching her little hands
Helen looked very serious. This was cruel
lesson she was learning, and again her
thoughts went back to dear LIE Bocage and
the unworldly atmosphere which she had
lived in there.
GAS soon as 1 am of age, or as much sooner
as | can" she mentally resolved, 81 shall 60
straight back to France. I shall not remain
here day longer than | can help"
Suddenly Myra started up. Il must 90
that hateful sewing" she exclaimed. 81 near
ly forgot all about it. See what it is to be
slave! Helen, you had better not stay here
any longer now, you may get into trouble.
Aunt will be angry with me, at any rate, be-
cause she'll think I've been telling you things,
which is the truth-though she needn't know
it,"
"But l intend to come up here again"
said Helen, rising, "and l hope you will come
to my room whenever you can"
Myra shook her head.
"It won't be often," she replied. II am
being educated for teacher, you know, and
all my spare time must give up to prac-
tcng and study"
At this moment Helen heard her aunt's
voice, down stairs and, unwilling to com
promise Myra, ran back to her own room,
without waiting to hear anything more

THE USE OF ADyERrIsING.-Th Phila'
delphia Bulletin publishes the following "true
laws of advertising"
|. All men in business must advertise in
some way. All men in business do advertise,
somehow.
II. Newspapers afford the best general me-
dium.
III. The object of advertising is simply to
bring buyer and seller together-successful
advertising must, theref re, do three things.
A. BE Ineligible and explicit as to the
things on sale.
B. 1t must reach the class likely to buy.
G. 1t must persuade them that it will be to
their advantage to come and buy.
". The interest Of seller, buyer and ad.
vertising medium are mutual.
V. Sellers, buyers and newspapers are all
three equally interested in sustaining this
mutual relation.
VI. The common notion of patronage as
regards newspapers is fallacious As all per-
sons are buyers, all sellers should be adver-
tisers. As nearly all persons are sellers, all
buyers should take newspapers-in both cases
for their own sake, not the newspapers sake.
VII. The profits of we'll conducted news
papers are measure of the business prosper
ity of community. We all thrive together
by contributing to the support of one another.
This is the truth in nutshell, and needs
but line or two to make it perfect, to wit !:
Nearly every successful business man in the
country who has made large fortune in
trade, has been liberal advertiser in the
newspapers.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT YoURsELF.-The
Journal of Health says: TO retain or recover
health, persons should be relieved from anx-
iety concerning diseases. The mind has pow
er over the body. For person to think he
has disease, will often produce that disease
This we see effected when the mind is intense
ly concentrated on the disease of another. 1t
is found in the hospitals that the physicians
and surgeons who make specially of GER
tain diseases are liable to die of it themselves !;
and the mental power is so strong that peo-
pie sometimes die of diseases that they have
only in imagination. We have seen persons
sea.sick in anticipation of voyage, before
reaching the vessel. We have known per,
son to die of cancer in the stomach when
he had no cancer or any other disease. A
man blind-folded and slightly pricked in the
arm has tainted and died from believing that
he was bleeding to death.
Therefore, persons i'll health and desiring
to continue so, should, at all times, be cheerful
and happy, and those who are sick should
have their attention drawn as much as posi-
bic away from themselves. 1t is by faith that
men are saved, and also by their faith they
die. If man wills not to die he can often
live in spite of disease and if he has little
or no attraction to life he will slip away as
easily as a child falls asleep.

PAY Your DEBrs.-Clean hands in mat
ters of money among the young certainly ought
to be the indispensable condition of gentle.
manliness. No man man who borrows and
does not pay, and does not care whether he
pays or not, is gentleman, no matter how
witty, or guy, or fine he may be. TO speak
in good plain English, the man who dresses
himself at another's expense, not knowing
how to pay, not caring whether he pays, is a
gentee scoundrel! And yet such things are
done by goodnatured folk, by kind-hearted
people, by persons who never probe them
morally to ascertain what their tendency is,
and what they lead to.

Helen had fingered longer over the con.
cluding lines than all the former part Of this
lengthy epSte. That one little phrase "Please
give my regards to Monsieur Victor" had
been written without much CIeliberation. She
WAS not altogether satisfied with it when it
was done 1t seemed curt and stiff; ought
she to add anything to it2 She had been on
the point Of writing "Monsieur Duclos," but
had softened it into "Monsicnr Victor" as be-
ing trifle less cold She did not want his
feelings to he wounded but yet-on the
whole, she thought it would answer we'll
enough. She half smiled at her own uncer-
tainly, and then sighed. Just as she had
signed her name she heard the bell ring for
lunch. She folded and sealed her letter has
tiy, and having directed it, carried it down
stairs to get it stamped before sending it to
the post AS she reached the dining room
door, voices within, speaking rather loudly,
arrested her attention. She paused for mo,
ment before entering, uncertain whether any
stranger might be there, and not wishing to
intrude. She heard her aunt eXclain, in an
emphatic tone;
