you murdered, and whose life you tried
to swear away
g l was mad, and they had to tear
me from him, as he lay writhing with
terror on the ground My unexpected
words had pierced his shrinking soul,
and i'll AFFECT cowardice he confessed
his crimes.
His little brothers life was saved,
Monsieur, but Luc Leroy was most just
ly guillotined at Liege, for the murders
of his stepfather and of Elmire, the
daughter of Pere Martin, the charcoal
burner. Elmire was avenged, but l
was lonely man henceforth for ever.
cat Luc Leroy's trial he confessed
every circumstance of his guilt. To in
sure Pere Martins absence from the
hut, he had informed him the night be-
fore of the spot where he would find
liquor in the morning. No sooner was
her father gone than he presented him
self before Elmirc, who, to be rid of
him, escaped from the hut and ran, as
she thought, unseen to the dell. But
he followed her, and grew so insolent
that the unhappy girl told him that she
hated and scorned him. He laid mis-
rude hand on her at this, and then she
shrieked aloud on my name for help.
That reused his jealousy to madness,
and he struck her, first with his hand
alone, then with the knife. Even with
the first stab he remembered the knife
was mine; and when his fury was over,
and his victim lay dead, he began to
think he might put the crime on me.
He washed the red stains from his
hands in the brook, and returned to the
hut. Here he put back his watch, per-
suading the foolish old man, whom he
had drugged, that he had been bnt half
an hour away. On his return home, ne
put his watch right again, and took
care to compare it with a neighbours.
Monsieur, you know the rest, and
there is much | have not told which
you can guess. l have not touched on
; all have suffered again in confine-
Leroy's trial and my rehabilitation were
got through with. The law would not
give me my liberty this while, though
justice acknowledged l was innocent;
and when freedom came at last, it
could not bring back my youth and my
dead love. Neither could it efface from
my memory those sutferings in the
Bagne, which are marked here on my
face. AS for Pere Martin, 1 worked for
him, and took care of him till the day
of his death. cut that white cross you

A Silenced Father.

THE other day a boy about fifteen
years of age entered Il grocery store on
Gratiot avenue, and after looking
around for few minutes he secreted a
loaf of bread under his coat and started
out. He was overhauled on the street
by the grocer, who was shouting for an
officer, when the lads father came
along and cried out:
What! Is it my Thomas? Has my
Thomas come to be thief! Take him
to the station at oncer'
You want him locked up, do you?"
asked the grocer.
81 do! A child of mine who steals
shall 60 to prison! Thomas is a wild,
bad boy!'
"And who has made me sop cried
the boy as he looked around on the
crowd. Mother-mother died three
years ago, and father there hasn't
spoken one kind word to any of the
children since! | haven't slept in the
house a night for months! See here,
how he beat me! Look at the bruises
on my armsn'
Thomas, you know I'm kind to all
of YOU" replied the father, as the lad
barred his arms.
Kind! Have you ever read us a
word about Heaven, as m-mother
used to? Have you ever seen her grave
but the once? Have you sent US to
school? When I've worked haven't you
pounded me till | gave up the money!"
But but Thomas, you are thief"
stammered the father.
I'll haven't got q shirt to nv
name!' continued the boy as he threw
open his coat, " and Sam and Mary are
worse off, cause they are barefooted.
There hasn't been fire or wood in our
house for two days, and when | came
here to steal this bread the children
were in bed shivering and starving, If
you don't believe it come along with
men'
The crowd believed it; there were
tears in the boys eyes and a culver to
his chin, and when the father went to
demonstrate man in the crowd seized
him, shook his heels in the air and
yelled:
Z" You old Satan, you are loafer and
a gutter drunkard, and | know it, and
if you ever lay hand on one o. the chill
dren again I'll follow you to Texas but
what I'll break every bone in your

IN ACCORD.

Blow, wind of late November, blow!
Blow every loose leaf from the treei
Leave not hindrance high or low
Betwixt the utter sky and me;
But blow thy best, and let me see
The truth of Nature fully grown,
Bare of the green times fantasy
When luckless lovers walked alone,
And only made tender moan
Where meath the leaves the violet hides
Its face against the friendly stone,
With other timid things besides;
But take whatever thing divides
Me from the tlniteness of Truth,
The cleaving spirit that contldes,
But not the usefulness of youth.
Brace me to spring erect. in sooth,
Or if the day break foul or fair,
To smile derision at thy tooth,
And all thy bitterest blasts to bear.
Blow from me every paltry care,
Even as thou blowest the leaves away,
Bringing a loneliness severe
With every serious, sunny day.
Let's see if skies be blue or gray;
Let's see if | am strong to dare.
To have my summer swept away,
Nor perish in thy crucial air.

1T is rule of the Chinese Six Com

man shall open wash house within a

and was ordered to close his shop. He
refused. Next he received formal no.

of $50. Still he disobeyed Soon he
was missing. After long search by
white friends, he was found chained in
a cellar, where he had been left to

"'Do you mean to hire that old
man?' said Luc Leroy to his mother.
He is fool, and past work
He can work hard enough re-
turned Madame, and his age is in his
favor; old fools are scarcely such fools
as young ones
"Words grew high between them;
but after bitter dispute the widow had
her own way, and hired me for year.
Look here said Luc Leroy to me
the next day, whose servant do you
mean to be, hers or mine? If you are
hers, I'll put your bones under the har-
row every hour of the day; if you are
mine, and you please me, YOU may
have as much drink as yeu like, and

drunken that the villain at last put his
life in my hands.

only a desperate eXertion of strength
on my part extricated him from fright

But this constant watch over the
child wore out my nerves and strength,
and l resolved to put an end to it. So

JOHN sHERMAN,s LATEST ORDER.
What Really Amounts to an Exchange 81
Greeubacks for silver AZ Par.

WASHINGTON, Sept. determination OF
Bherman's latest order in regard to silver coin
age shows that it really amounts to an exchange
OF greenbacks for silver at par. but the e1-
change IL somewhat concealed. A depositary
bank Is bank at which the United States
Treasury keeps an account in currency. When
such bank applies for silver dollars and re
ceives them II gives tho Government a credit in
currency, and II is expected in the Treasure
that when drafts upon this Government ac-
count are presented they will be paid
IN currency unless the person presenting
the draft-a pensioner for instance-asks for
silver. In other words. tho Government pays
silver into the bank and the bank pays out
greenbacks on Government account. II the
bank had paid currency into the Treasury and
received silver. 1t would have been necessary to
pay out this currency 10 meet the obligations of
the Government. This IL now done in different
but less apparent way. The last order goes
upon the suggestion that any one presenting n
eheck on this Government account at deposi-
tary having Its origin in silver dollars can re-
fuse them. but 1t is difficult TO see how
