"You will not deny me the pleasure of being near you?' the youth protested, his breast heaving with emotion.
 1T do not want you near me, Sara replied, petulantly. "That is just what annoys me. I am not myself while you are in Paris. Everywhere go I am pursued by those great wild eyes of yours -on the stage they make me forget the duties of the play, in the street they startle me in my dreams terrify me !! Leave me. Love between us is hopeless. Go away, if you love me, indeed. Let me never see your face again P
 "Never er-see-your-fa again! Do you mean that? ?" cried Michel, wildly.
 CT do," was the reply.
 "Then, Mile. Sara, you shall have your wish," he replied, his manner changed from humility to defiance. "You shall never see mo again" And with these words he darted away, and was lost in the gloom of the night, leav- ing Sara at her door gazing after him in blank amazement.
 "Que le bon Dieu le portege!" she calculated, as she turned the knob of her door, and went in to dream of stage triumphs, fame, wealth-and perhaps of the discarded love of her youth. The next night Michel was missing from his usual post at the stage door. And the next and the next. For whole week nothing was seen or heard of him. Sara sighed, and told her friends sadly the story of her self-sacrifce and how she had cured her lover of his infatua- tion. At the end of the week there came 8 shocking revelation in the daily jour- nals of Paris. In an obscure lodging a garret in the Latin quarter-the police had broken into an apartment whose occupant had not been seen to go in or out for several days, and the body of \ Michel was found in an advanced stage of decomposition. A letter dated the night of the interview told the story oi his folly.
 The next day the Par1sian papers rang with the discovery, and the Bohemians wove fanciful stories out of the tragedy for days after, greatly to the delight o the morbid. There was the usual for mality of an inquest, after which the body of the unknown boy was taken il charge by gentleman of wealth and buried in the cemetery of Pere Ia Chaise

MAKING LONG CA11s.-A story is told of 0 minister who made call on friend of his, and seemed never likely to cease his conversation, when the dreadful child of the friend aforesaid stepped up to her father and whispered quite loud enough to be heard by the visitor i: "Papa, didn't the gentleman bring his Amen with him ?" This reminds us of a minister who was accustomed to make very long calls, and being seen approaching the house of friend one day, the lady of the house, busily oc- cupied at the time, sighed out: "I hope MT. X. is not going to make one of his long calls." Her little girl ran to the door and accosted him with Mother hopes you are not going to make one of your long calls to-day p

A Clergyman's Experience.

A country clergyman writes "There are great many unwritten chapters of a clergyman's life in the country which would read like romance to the unin- itiated. There are chapters of hard facts as we'll as happy fancies. In my first year of the ministry my salary was just $500, with which boarded myself and team, had the lung fever, was mar ried, paying the minister @ five-dollar fee-and so my deadhea ism began. My first wedding at the parsonage was 8 great event. It was on a cold winter day.
 "The extra fire was made in the par Tor, and when the couple arrived I fed their horse on hay and oats, the bride and groom ate heartily of good steak dinner, obtained a certificate which cost fifty cents, and received one dollar for the entire entertainment. There are, of course, profitable marriage occasions cases in the scorching sands of min isterial pathways. I know of an eX- presiding elder of the Troy Conference who was called to officiate at a contem- plated wedding four miles from Yer mont village. A horse and buggy was sent to take him to the place, and on his arrival he found that 8 family row had caused an indefinite postponement of the wedding.
 "He was not even asked in, but was allowed to foot it home in the mud with out fee or thanks. Funerals in the country call for great grace on the part of the parson. have officiated at three funerals in one day in families outside of my own congregation without thanks or fee. I have even paid livery hire, receiving nothing in remuneration, to attend funerals. Still, I am called a 'deadhead, because I ride on railroads at half fare when on ministerial duties. I have attended two pauper funerals in one day, for which the town paid the overseer for his time, the doctor for his visits and medicines, the grave-diggel and the undertaken, but received noth. ing for my services.
 "Then I have attended other funerals in all kinds of weather, where interested parties, upon taking my leave, have said I'll see you again some day. One man who promised to see me some othe1 day, saw me sooner than he expected At mpmeeting few months later h' was converted, and when saw the tears in his eyes, mentally prayed, Lord have mercy on that mans soul Whel the meeting closed, he warmly graspe' me with his right hand and with his lief handed me 8 five dollar bill, saying 'Mr. -, feel as though I ought t. pay you for att ending my wife's funera
 last June.' We'll, for once, I felt tn Lord had answered my prayer"

$500 BeiLg Expended ON FrankfOrd's Cell.
Since the late attempt made by the burg
lar Frankford to escape from the county
Jail, redoubled vigilance has been exer-
cised over him by the Jail officials, and the
county commissioners or inspectors have
made a contract to have an additional
plating put on the walls of his
iron-clad cell, and the work is
now being done by Joseph H.
Huber. This appears, to persons COM
petent to judge, to be an extravagant and
unnecessary expense. The oily weak
place in the cell is Immediately around the
register, and had this been sheathed with
chilled iron plating the cell would have
been Just as secure as it will be after the
double plating of the walls shall be finish
ed. The sheathing Of the register could
have been done at an expense Of not more
than $40, while the job now being done
will cost $4OO or $500. Are the county
commissioners or prison inspectors respon-
sible for this unnecessary outlay?
