found that she greatly enjoyed q repast OF
honey; when some was placed on a leaf within
her reach she would uncoil her long proboscis
and draw up the sweet food with great ap-
parent enjoyment. She was so tame that it
became my habit, once or twice q day, to take
her on my finger; and while l walked in the
garden she would take short flights hither and
thither, but was always content to noun

bright, would remain there as long as / had

spread, bdsking in the sunbeams, which ap-
peared to convey exquisite delight to the del
icate little creature.
Inever touched her beautiful wings. She
never fluttered or showed any wish to escape,
but lived three weeks of tranquil life in her
tiny home; and then having, as l suppose,
reached the limit of butterfly existence, she
quietly ceased to live.
On the day of her death the other butterfly
emerged, and lived for the same length of
time. Both were equally tame, but the sec
ond showed more intelligence, for she dis
covered that by folding her wings together
she could easily walk between the slender
bars of the cage; and having lone 50, she
would fly to a window and remain there,
basking in the sun, folding and unfolding her
wings with evident enjoyment, until I pre-
scented my finger, when she would immedi-

An Monest Girl,s Reward.
GTexns Siftings.I

lleAus ollLlnbS.J
In the year 1869 there died in Paris a rich
old bachelor, who left his entire fortune to a
poor girl, n seamstress, who was, moreover.
almost unknown to him. The secret of the
old man ignoring his friends and relatives
puzzled everybody very much. The deceased
was what might be called an original. He
was quite eccentric. In order to test the
honesty of his fellow-creatures he was in the
habit of resorting to many curious expert
ments, which as a general thing, did not i'm
prove the bad opinion he already had of the
human race. One of his plans to ascertain
how many honest people there were travelling
in omnibuses was to occupy the scat nearest
the conductor and hand the fare of passengers
to that official. Instead of handing the exact
fare to the conductor he would give the con-
ductor a coin of larger value. When the
passenger received back his excessive change,
in fifteen consecutive instances, he quietly
pocketed the money.
The sixteenth person who seceived back ex-
cessive change was a young, poorly dressed
girl who had pity for the poor conductor,
who only got three francs a day, and would
have to make good the loss. She Immediately
exclaimed: Conductor, you have given me
too much change" and returned him the sur
plus money. The eccentric was agreeably
surprised. When the girl left the bus, he
followed her, and having made further in
quiry about her, satisfied himself that she
was respectable. The small coin that the girl
returned to the conductor made her the
hel-eSs of half a million francs,

l have known mcn to play while their
wives were dying ut home. Last season the
stage manager in one of the chief theatres OF
New York had "a wife aud daughter. Tho
daughter married. She WINS fragile, and the
pains of approaching maternity compelled
her, although in the profession, to throw up
her work and retire to her bed. The stage
manager had contracted rheumatic cold, and
was likewise forced to take to his bed. The
wife and mother was in the ballet of
one theatre, thu husband of the daughter was
an motor in another theatre. Night came,
leaving the two invalids in the care Of a
young servant. The mother hurric1 10 the
ballet, and the husband, n comedian, to his
fun and frolic. The illness Of the daughter
took a serious turn, and ere the husband
could be summoned from his motley, or
the mother from her peasants dress,
she passed from pain into Inconsistencies,
and before the morning dawned her
spirit had gone, leaving her father racked
with pain upon his bed in the adjacent room,
q motherless babe crying upon tile pillow,
the husband crazed with disappointment and
grief and the mother worn to a shadow by
watching, anxiety and a divided duty. The
next night came. Was the mother excused
from her dancei Oh, no. She was u central
figure. The management were sorry. hut il
she cared To retain her place she must per.
form her duty, 50 she left her
dead daughter in ono room and her
husband in tho next, and did her devon
like q woman. The husband, a mar Of expe-
rience, twice the age of his child wife, was
the life and soul and humorous helm of a
side-splitting play. Was he excusedf Not at
all. He had no nnder-study. 1t wns the
second week of the performance, and it was
really essential that he should attend TO his
part, so he left his dead wife in one room and
-
his little babe in tho care of a wet nurse, bor-
rowed for the occasion from a synlpathizing
neighbor. and never played so well in his life
as he did hat night.
