THE RIVALS.

Miss Imogene De Forest was eigh-
teen years old, beauty and q belle.
Girls Of all kinds, if they live, can be
eighteen years old; but to be a beauty
and belle needs a concurrence OF IA
vornble circumstances. In Miss Imo-
gene these favorable circumstances were
of a decided order. She had q lovely
face, a graceful figure, and sho was the
only child Of the Hon. LysAnder De
Forest, an ex-governor, an senator,
ahu probable foreign minister.
Besides, she had q. very respectable
private fortune, though young Jefferson
Duval and Captain Milton Fontaine
botlt avorred that was the very least
point in her charms, and not worthy to
be named with her dark eyes and her
bewitching smile. Girls of eighteen
are not all-wise, and perhaps Miss Imo-
gene believed this; at any rate she
looked as il she believed it; and both
Duval and Fontaine hal many hours in
which they certainly firmly believed 1t.
When wondering in the moonlight
under the orange Il <es, or when whirl
ing through the waltz in some splendid
feast, they we're both quite certain that
nothing but Miss Imogene's personal
loveliness entered into their dreams
concerning her.
Hitherto, though both pretenders to
ImogeLe's favor, they had preserved
the semblance of friendship. DuvaI

One lovely evening in the charming

The King and the Miller,

Near Sans, Souci, the favorite resi-
denco Of Frederick the Great, there was
4 mill which much intericrcd with the
view from the palace. One day the king
sent to inquire what the owner would
take for the mill; and the unexpected
answer came back that the miller would
not sell j; for any money. The king,
much incensed, gave orders that the
mill should be pulled down. The mil
Ter made no resistance, but folding his
arms, quietly remarked; 1.-THE king
may do this, but there are laws in
Prussia" And he took legal proceed
ings, the result Of which was the king
had to rebuild the mill and pay q good
sum of money beside in compensation.
Although his majesty vas much cha.
grined at this end 10 the matter he put
the best face be could upon it, and turn.
ing to his courtiers he remarked: 81
am glad TO sec that there are Just laws
and upright judges in my kingdom"
A sequel to this incident occurred
about forty years ago. A descendant
of the miller OF whom We have Just
been speaking had come into possession
of the mill. After having struggled for
several years against ever increasing pow
erty, and being at length quite unable
to keep on with his business, he wrote
to the king OF Prussia, reminding him
OF the incident we have Just related,
and stating that, IT,. his majesty felt so
disposed, he should be very thankful in
his present difficulty. to. sell the mill.
The king wrote the following reply
with his own hand:
"Mr DEAR NKIaHBoR: Il cannot
allow you to sell the mill. II must be
always in your possession, as long as
one of your family exists, for it belongs
TO the history OF Prussia. 1 regret,
however, to hear that you are in such
siraitened circumstances, and there
fore send you. herewith six thousand
dollars, in the hope that 1t may be
of some service In restoring your for.

Prayed that may one day meet him,
In world that's free from sin;
Tell my mother God assist hor
Now that she is growing old,
Tell, her child would glad have kissed her.
When his lips grew pale and cold.
Listen, brother, catch each whisper,
'Tis my wife I'd speak Of now,
Tell, oh, tell her, how missed her,
When the fevor burht my brow,
Toll her, brother, closely listen,

That in death my cyes did glIston
With the tears her memory stirred.
Tell hor she must kiss my children,
Like the kiss last impressed,
Hold them a. when last held them,
Folded closely TO nay breast;
Give them early to their Maker,
Putting all her trust in God,
And Ho never will forsAke her,
For He said so in His Word.
