The coin was packed in rouleaux and
wrapped in pieces of Monsteur, published
duling the reign OF terror. With the
money were certain scraps of manu-
script, showing it to belong to one who
was mayor of Dion at that period. His
descendants on hearing of the discovery,
brought an action against DR.. Chanut
and NJ. John to recover the treasure,
and the court, after duly investigating
the claim, gave judgement in favor of the
plaintiffs. What is even more CALLING to
the finder of the treasure and to the pro-
prietor of the house, where it had re-
manned concealed for nearly century,
is that they were mulcted in the ecrt Of

A MEMORY KEPT GREEN,
By MARGARET EYTINGE,
In early summer came q lily,

IN early summer came q lily,
Lovely lily,
IN time to hear the farewell Of the rose;
The shining leaves its golden heart disclosing
We're full Of grace, and white as winter SHOWS,
And e it stood among the other flowers,
That brighter seemed because it was 80 fair,
In grateful joy that it so soon had blossomed,
1t flung its sweets upon the garden air.
few short days passed by. The lily,
Fragrant lily,
Had fallen from its tall and slender stem.
And, dust-assailed, around it were all scattered
The jewels of its anther-dia6em
Alas il said, "my life was quickly over;
And when the Haunting tger-nlies blow,
Save frail stalk, there will be naught remaining
That have ever lived and bloomed to show"
Nay" said tiny voice, ,"dear lily,
Angel lily!
Shelter and shade you kindly gave to me
When at your feet little seed nestled,
AND, trust me, I'll keep green your memory"
And at this moment, near the tiger-lihes.
The tall stem stands that held that fairest one
And round it lovingly vine is twining,
With mornlng-glories smiling in the sun.
