A LITTLE FRENCH STORY.

In some parts of France manageable
girls are accustomed to pluck, as they re-
turn from midnight mass on Christmas
Eve. sprig of apple tree. which they put
in vial full of water; the vial is hung in
their bed chamber, in front of the window
if one bud blooms before Easter, the mis-.
tress is sure to be married before the year
ends. Among the servants of a chateau
near Alepcon was a chambermaid from
Brittany. She was gentle, good natured,
quiet, pious-an excellent creature every
way-but she was hunehbacked. Her
name was Ursule. Taking advantage of
the dark night she too plucked sprig OF
apple tree, sure that nobody saw her. She
was mistaken. A fellow.servant saw her,
and made servants hall ring with peals of
laughter at poor Ursule's expense. Still
they kept the secret among themselves.
They all agreed to play trick on poor Ur-
sule. Easter Eve one of the journey
men gardeners removed the old sprig Of
apple tree from the vial in Ursule's
bed-cbamber and put in its place sprig
covered with blossoms. When Ursule
went into her bed.chamber she could not
believe her eyes. She returned to the ser
wants hall her face was radiant with de-
light as she showed her trophy the laugh
ter, jeers, hootings of her comrades re-
vealed the trick put on her. She stood
dumb, confounded, trembling, scarcely able
to restrain tears. Just at this moment the
mistress entered the servants hall. An
elderly servant explained the scene to her.
The mistress said "Ursule, the apple.
tree sprig may be trusted believe it you
will be married before Christmas next ;
you are virtuous girl 1 am sure you will
make virtuous wife; all you want to get
husband is money; the money wanted I
will give you." As she spoke the mistress
twined 900 franc bank.not around the
sprig and returned it to Ursule. A fort
night afterward the journeyman gardener
who had put the trick on her asked her in
marriage, but she refused him lat which he
was greatly jeered) and married another.
