sent, she Jenueu ana WalueQ upon ner--
so engaged Mrs. Saunders affection, that
afterwards, during the whole of the sub
sequent illness, which broken limbs and
ribs occasioned, she made it her partic-
ular request to Miss Lavington that
Lacy might be spared from the work
room to nurse and keep her company;
adding, for that lady's satisfaction, that
though the best nurse, and incest young
girl of the lot, she certainly, being the
youngest, was the least of proficient in
the peculiar art she followed
The poor woman lay groaning piteously
upon her bed, waiting the arrival of the
surgeon. The surgeon, an elderly man,
was out of town, and could not attend; a
young man appeared in his place. He
had just joined himself to the old man
in the quality of assistant and future
partner; and hearing that the case was
one of an accident, and urgent, he hur-
ried to the house, resolving to send for
more experienced assistance, if such
should be found necessary.
He was shown upstairs, and hastily
entered the room where the sufferer lay.
She was very much bruised about the
chest, and she drew her breath with diff
ficulty; and, though exceedingly weak
and faint, was unable to lie down. She
was resting in the arms of one who
appeared to the young man like an
angel.
The lovely girl, with face of the
tenderest pity, was holding the poor
groaning woman upon one arm, bending
over her with the air of almost divine
Kindness and softly wiping the dew
drops which in the agony came starting
from the patients brow.
The young man received an impress
sion which death alone etiaced, though
the bright visionary was only momentary.
He was instantly by the side of his
patient, and soon with much skill and
courage doing what was necessary for
immediate relief, though at the very first
moment, when he had discovered the
serious nature of the case, he had beg
ged the young lady to tell Miss Laving-
ton that it would be proper to send for
some surgeon of more experience and
eminence than himself to take the
direction of it.
Don't go away" said Mrs. Saunders
feebly, as Lucy was rising to obey.
"Don't send her away, Mister, | can't do
without her; Miss Lavington s not at
home-one need not ask her for me.
Who should be sent for?
The young man named a gentleman
high in his profession. Was it that
able and benevolent man the world has
so lately lost? That kind, frank, manly,
courageous man of genius whom no one
approached but to find help and com
fort? l don't know, but be he who
he might, when he did at length arrive,
he gave the most unqualified praise to
the proceeding Of our young gentleman,
and called the color to the pale cheek
of the young and serious-looking student
by his appreciation. He finished his visit
by assuring Mrs. Saunders that she could
not be in safer hands than those in
which he had found her, and recon-
mended her to put herself entirely
under the charge of the young prac-
titioner, adding an assurance that he
would be ready at any instant to
come if he should be wanted; and that
he would, at all events, call in once or
twice as a friend during the progress of
the case.

other princely gifts, the title she now
wears with her diamonds. She employed
the plaintiff, who had quite an estab-
lished reputation as a writer, to prepare
her memoirs. After the work was COM
pleted it did not suit the ex-favorite OF
royalty, who thereupon suggested to
Nine, Voizin to prepare history OF
William the Silent. For the purpose of
obtaining access to important public
documents, the two ladies set out for The
Hague. But it had so happened that
while the Countess d'Amboise was the
Kings favorite, she had made many
enemies, and when she and her literary
friend reached the Capital, they were re-
ceived by turbulent mob, and the two
court officials sent to meet them had to
flee in disguise. The two ladies, after
remaining concealed three days, fled
back to Paris by night.
Now comes into Court Nine. De Vol
zin, and claims $4,000 as damages to her
moral character, growing out of this un'
fortunate rencontre at The Hague, al
though from the very fact that she mad
already prepared the memoirs OF the
frail Countess, she must have been fully
aware of that lady's character. The
only foundation for such an action would
seem to be that the plaintiff was moi
made aware of the extent Of the Count

A Story of Curtis and Oue of Everett.
New York LetfprO

l have just been to the Goethe Club
this evening, and heard a delicious lee
ture on Literature of Republic" by
Thomas Wentworth Higginson, of New
port. Higginson's address was series of
pictures-pictures of definite perspective,
too, and full of bright color. He told
story after story, very drol, but all with a
serious bearing on his theme.
~ have heard story about Mr.. Curtis, /"
he said-and the gentle Howadji looked
up and smiled-"a story which is good
enough to be true, aud which ought to be
true, and so have never asked Mr.. Cur
It's to verify it. He was delegate to the
State Convention at Syracase, and while
at the hotel overheard conversation
about the different conspicuous delegates.
Finally, TO his CONSERVATION, they edged
around to his name. There's Curtis,
said one. Yes, there's Curtis said the
other emphatically. Curtis is a good
deal Of man, said the first. Yes re-
sponded the second, 'he is quite intelli,
gent He is quite intelligent said the
second, very-uncommonly intelligent
for literary man "
He told another good story, and told it
surprisingly we'll, about Edward Everett
after he had become famous. He was one
of the passengers in loaded stage run
ming out of Concord. When they came
to the crossroads Young lady came out
and desired to go. There was no room.
Having arrived at an age that would
make such an offer graceful and proper, he

1t is common saying, that family SER
vants-or, to speak in more republican
phrase, family "help"-are a great trouble,
and that keeping them in order is trial.
some undertaking. And SO it is; but,
as we would not admit the excuse OF SER
want who did not sweep our room because
it was trouble, it is equally as unreason-
able for us to expect that we shall be ex-
empted from our duties to those who serve
us, on that ground. In the duty OF ruling
servants, it is not meant that mistress
should be acting as continual spy on
them-for that would be as inconsistent
with the feelings of true lady as it
would be Intellectual, most Intellectual, in
deed, with the least trustworthy, who can
easily battle the eve of a mistress; nor
will an endless system Of locking up and
giving out avail-locks and keys are no
sure protection from the dishonesty or
carelessness of servants.
1t is indeed, very proper and very nee,
essmy that there should be right degree
of watchfulness, and keeping temptation
out of the way, especially OF young ser
wants and those not previously known to
us; but we shall be sure to go to just the
right limit in this matter, if our care is
not exercised merely for ourselves, but
also for them. 1t is wrong to put toe
much trust in servants whom we do not
, know; but they should be trained to desirs
and deserve our confidence.

The picturesque little station at
Hawkesbury Lane, between Nuneaton
and Coventry, has, for some time past,
been the home of fox terrier known as
Pincher, an animal possessing almost hu-

with marvellous patience and acuteness
