to live with au uncle, q silversmith, and
to learn his trade.
Madame in vain begged her daughter
to ann!ll the engagement; in vain, in elo-
que: terms, she pointed out the misfor-
tunes that pursued poverty and nnesaui
dnce, aud the wealth and case that would
DC hers, il shs would but look with IL
favorable eye upon any ore of the noble
suitors that already worshiped at LEI
shrine. 1rma was firm: either Henri
Laurens or the gloomy walls of a convent.
The poor Countess was in despair. She
advised with her brother, NJ. the Vicomte
d'Arci, and he too urged Irma to give up
her rustic lover, but with no better sue
cess. At last, finding that nothing could
be done with the obdurate girl, NJ. dAr-
ci paid Henri Laurens visit, aud found
his neice's lover to he handsome, manly
specimen CT the haute bourgeoisie. He
was as determined to we'd Irma as she
was to marry him such obstinacy tho
noble uncle had never seen. Gail that
one can d." the Vicomte said to his SIS
ter on his return, " is to make tho best
of bad case. Through tho influence of
Marshal - may be able to procure
him an officers commission in the army,
he has bravery and she qualities to win
success, and may work his way up in his
profession, particularly as he has an in. =.
centive to do so. How many" he con-
tinued, Struggling his shoulders, " of
these new upstart generals have risen
from the canaille! Why may not Lau-
rcns do as well.' Anything is possible
under this regime" 1t was done, the
commission procured, and, with elated
heart, the young officer joined the COM
mand to which he was Il signed. Irrna
was content to wait, if need be, until her
Henri should have become n Marechal Of
France. No presentiment of gloom shad-
ed the brightness of her hopes.
Frederic of Prussia at this time was
measuring arms with Napoleon. Already,
Henri had distinguished himself at the
battle Of Jena, and had been promoted
one grade. Tho lovers hopes were high.
Napoleon entered Berlin in triumph, and,
on the 9Th of February following, de-
feated the Russian troops at Eylan, a sig
nal victory that should have gladdened
all French hearts. Alas! it brought sor-
row to one. Henri was slain. What
matter that all Paris rang with rejoic-
| ing acclamations. TO ono sad heart they
sounded as death-knclls. My story il
ended. Irma faded away. All that
wealth and loye could do to restore her
to health was done. But what skill or
art can heal Il broken .heart7 Z Scarcely
year after Henri's death, her spirit fled to
join his in that land, where

The Physical Paradox.

II has been said that "the blood
is the source of life" 1t is as truly
the source of disease and death.
No life, that is to say, no healthy
tissue, can be generated from inn
pure blood, no organ of the body
can normally perform its functions
when supplied with impure blood
The fluid that should carry life and
health to every part, carries only
weakness and disease. Blood is the
source of lie, only when it is pure
If it has become diseased, it must
be cleansed by proper medication
else every pulsatiOn of the human
heart sends a wave of disease
through the system. To cleanse the
blood of all impurities, use DIR

with the most agonized canine in

A dog in the ladies carriage i!
Moreover, flung out the window by
a vengeful hand One glance from
his point of vantage of the step re-
vealed the truth to the surly guard.
Miss Norfolk-Stanley reposed in her
corner in rigid insensibility, the
cloak still about her; bags and cas-
Is were scattered on the floor a
faint scent of chlorofOFm fingered.
A very well arranged plan, hing
ing on the trains not pausing again
until MOdane was reached, when
all traces of disorder would have
been removed, but for Illustration
by a vigilant little dog, so tiny as
to be slowed away in the pocket. Of
leather bag.
A group of those highly orna-
mental gens-d 'aTmes in Cooked hats
and brilliant uniforms who pose so
gracefully at French and Italian
railway stations, were given en-
ployment in arresting the thieves.
Miss Norfolk-Stanley came to a
condition of confused consciousness,
and was removed to a hotel under
the guidance of her frightened
maid. The surly guard actually
kept Bijou in his arms, and earessed
the little dog, instead of demand
ing his ticket.
Next evening Nephew Dick APP
peared at MOdane in response TO the
maids telegram sent back to Turin.
He had been delayedsby reason ola
robbery, in which he had lost both
watch and pocket-boOk, on a night
journey between Rome and Flor
ence. He was disposed tosuspect
two gentlemen who had stayed in
the same hotel at Rome.
In the years 1877 and 1878, a band
of thieves Waged war on the CONT
nent, their connection extending
from Stockholm to Naples. They
appeared as ladies and gentlemen
at leading hotels, and pursued ev-
erywhere the higher branches of
the profession. Doubtless Miss
NOrfolk-Stanley and Nephew Dick
were both their victims. The lat
ter was speedily reinstated in his
aut's favor by his ability displayed
during the trial and conviction of
the miserable women.
BjOu has gone into honorable re-
tirement in the country. His pref
udices are respected. If he sees a
railway and moving train, he
howls and runs away, in remem-
brance of the awful day wi eli a
cruel yellow hand seized and hurled
him from the window as the ladies'
carriage emerged from the Mont
Gents tunnel.

Newspaper Patr Onage.

There appears to be many diff.

ronaee, as it is called, and, as an

to a disQui~ition on the subject

speaks. 1t will serve, perhaps, as
a mirror where certain persons
may see themselves as others SEE
them.

Another man brings in a fifty

if yon refuse he goes off mad.
And this is newspaper patronage.
Another man lives near you
