some money in a safe in his house. A

the house. They took it to a safe dis

The rumor Of this agreement, to my person.

The general tenor of all the reports is that
the early spring has enabled the farmers to

unjustly diverted from his mill This
lawsuit he lost, and petitioned Freder-

the case to be RENTED to the second

Judges sat. &c in the meantime ordered
inquiries to be made upon the spot, and

party. But the miller was no more sue

The EfUckS,uitH's DiscOCc3'Y.

Six hundred years ago there was in
Belgium poor man named Houillos.
He was a blacksmith, and his forge was
at little village near Liege. Charcoal
cost SO much that the poor fellow could
scarcely make money enough to give his
wife and children food to eat. Often
times it happened that, work as he might
night would come Gown and find the
man tired, the children crying from bit
ter hunger, and not q bit to eat in the
house. Bad as matters were when he had
work to do, they grew worse when he
had nose. In despair one day, the smith
was at his forge. He had made up his
mind that it was Of no use for him to try
to live any longer, and evil thoughts had
just tempted him to kill himself, when a
his shop. Houillos did not know him
nor whence he had come, but he began to
talk to him, and tell him all his troubles
and how he had always worked hard,
blowing the bellows himself to save ex-
pense, and yet could not make money
enough to keep his children from starya-
ton because charcoal was 50 dear. The
old man with the white beard felt so sor-
ny for the horseshoer that he began to cry.
Then he frightened up suddenly, and
said "My friend you go to the neigh
boring mountain, dig up the ground. and
you will find veins of a hard, black earth
suitable for burning in the FORGE" Houii-
los must have had much faith (and it
makes one wonder how such a man could
ever have thought Of killing himself), for
he went at once to the place and found
the black earth just as the man had said
He threw it into his fire, and lo he
forged horseshoe at one heating. He
was so haypy-for now he could make
money, and his dear ones need starve nc
more-tbat he started off and told Of the
wonderful black earth that burned longer
and stronger than charcoal. The French
people call pit-coal houille, after the name
Of the horseshoe maker, and all the
miners of Liege cherish his memory and
talk of him still. They say it was an an.
gel who went to the forge and told the
poor man where to ind the treasure.

4 Partisan Beaufy's Rerc"ge.

An English Marchioness, resident in
the Legitimis: faubourg, and avoiding
the Napoeonites as ''low," gave grand
parties. To one of these an English lady
took, unlimited, pretty French woman,
friend of the Empress. The pretty wo
man made herself conspicuous by her
prettiness and flirtations, but the March
ioness found out who she was, and was
disguised. She said to her:
Il am SO conscious of the honor you
have done me that dare not expect rep
etiticn of the unexpected compliment"
The pretty woman grew pale, but
5miled, and ordered cavalier to order
her carriage. The pretty woman was
clever, and fncssed a revenge. She
bribed the Warehouses femme de cham
bre to give her the list Of guests invited
for the next soiree. Armed with this she
prepared circular note, which she dis
patched to each Of the invited late in the
afternoon of the appointed day:
"The Marcioness presents her compii-
ments to so an: SO, regrets that domestic
calamity will prevent her" etc. She
then went to great "Mad Doctor" rep
resenting herself as the daughter Of the
Marchioness, and acting with the consent
Of her Ladyship's family; she represented
that her mother, the Marchioness,
her mother, the Marchione:s, was afflicted
with insanity, and her madness was in the
dclusion that she was always having great
parties. For instance, in monsieur, the
doctor, would go to her Ladyship's hotel
that evening, he would find her dressed
in great splcnC OF, with the sul0n iluminat
ed, adorned with flo vers and Bullets COW
cred with refreshments.
The doctor went, on the understanding
that he was to obtain the proper police
authority to take the Marchioness to Mai
son DSeante in the event Of the represen-
tation made to him beng confirmed by
his own observation. He arrived at ten
in the evening; he was the hrst-the only
guest; and, though the Marchioness did
not remember his name, she took it for
granted that she had invited him, and was
profusely civil. His manner puzzled and
his questions startled her, and as he grew
abrupt as his perception of her lunacy
became more clear, she was at last offend
ed and rang for her servants. At the
same time he made the proper intimation
Of his police authority and the end Of the
story is, that she was taken off by the
doctor in Mysteries, and detained as a
prisoner in his asylum until the whole
truth came out. All Paris was in roars
and the pretty flirt, was a heroine forever
Protected by her august friend, she cs-
capped retallation-a British MarchiDness
is too grand for wit.

III. Fiaudin, in his narrative of resi-
dence in Persia, relates curious incident
which occurred when he was at Ispahan:
The Persian servant of a European had
been stung by scorpion, and his master
wished to apply ammonia, the usual
remedy IN such cases, bot the man refused
and ran Oft to the bazaar When he re-
turned, he said he was cured, and appeared
to DE so. The European, rather surprised
at this most lnstan 'aneous cure. CUES
toned him, and found that he had been
to deryish, who enjoyed great reputation
in such cases. This dervish, he said. after
examining the wound and uttering few
words, had several times lightly touched
it with a little iron blade. Still more
astonished at the remedy than the cure.
the European desired to see the instru-
ment by which the latter was said to have
been effected. At the cost of a small
picakecA he was allowed to have it for a
few minutes in his possession After a
careful examination, finding nothing ex-
traordinary in the instrument, he made up
his mind that the cure was mere tick;
that the dervish was an impostor, that the
scorpoin's sting had not penetrated, and
that his servant had been more frightened
than hurt, Hethrew tie blade contempt
uously upon the table, when to his great
surprise, he beheld it attach itself strong
ly to knife. The quack's instrument
was simply magnet. But what power
had the lcadstone's attraction over venom?
This discovery was very odd; incrcdu,ity
was at nonplus; end yet the man stung
by the scorpion was cured, anu he who
had cured MIN was in great renown at Is

wound. | relate these facts without COM

Shopping outward to the west,
Creeping in the easement wide,
Shall look on quiet breast,
Though the birds shall coo and call
AS the deeper shadows fall.
You may rest.

You may take long, long sleep;
Though the early morning sun
All along the walls shall creep,
Waxen cyelids will not lift
From the watching which they keep
Though sunbeam overbold,
Seek to part your curtains fold,
You may sleep.
Some time, striving hands of mine,
There viii be a long, long peace;
Loosened from the tasks you hold
Into new and sweet release,
Other hands must place you close
In dumb amen for grace.
Even loves touch, soft and warm,
Dare not break such prayerful forns
OF your peace.
Some time, restless feet of mine
There will come Ion :, long day
When you need not cross the sill
From the flushing till the gray,
Other steps must bear you forth
To the place where clay is clay.
Though I led you out at light
They will bring you home when night
Ends our day.
