A MODERN MARTYR.

\ recent writer in one OF the religious
journals tells the following story OF
Sister Simplice, a nun of the Order of
Bon Secours
Five years ago she had in charge the
little children of Il gentleman of and
near Paris. She was walking with
them in the garden when a sound in the
shrubbery near by caused her to start
and turn pale. She knew that the fierce
dog which the owner of the chateau
should have kept chained must have
freed himself. There was still time
enough; she could easily reach Il place
of safety. All, but the children! she
will not leave them. She gathers them
about her hurriedly and perhaps gains Il
few yards towards the house. 1t is too
late. The huge creature is in sight,
bounding towards them with red eyes
and foaming mouth-mad. What did
she do? There was but one thing for a
Sister of Good Help to do. With one
grand sweep she thrusts the children
behind her, and crying aloud for aid,
but never yielding an inch, faces the
brute without culver. lie springs
upon her; her little white hands are en-
twined in his long hair, while the savage,
cruel jaws open and close viciously.
Perhaps the children cried; perhaps
you could hear nothing but the fierce,
mad snarl of the dog as he bit, and the
poor cries of the little Sister row grow
ing very weak; but she would not LEI
go her hold, for there were the children
| wish you could hear the story as we
heard it, in tremulous broken English
from her who herself nursed Sister
Simplice during the month of agony
through which she lived. Just before
her death she turned to those by her
bed and said;

KILLED BY A SHOCK"

1t is dangerous to "shock" a nervous
person, or one whose physical system is
weak. An emotion which suddenly ag-
itates him may beget such derange-
ment of the nervous system as TO cause
death. The following case illustrates
the danger OF subjecting one to sud-
den and violent mental shock Monsieur
Berger, Partisan, lost his wife in 1866,
very beautiful and youthful woman,
whom he had married but three years
before.
He became broken-hearted, and
mourned for his wife, living in the same
suite of rooms where she died, and keep
ing everything sacredly as she had left
it.
His wife's sister, at the time of her
marriage, was small girl, but subse-
quently expanded into a handsome
woman.
For years she had not seen Monsieur
Berger, but being in Paris she resolved
to call upon him, and went to his apart
ments, where she knocked at the door.
The servant was not at hand, and NJ.
Berger opened the door himself.
She entered the apartment, calling
him by name, and lifted her veil.
ado you not recognize me?" she
asked.
"My wife," almost screamed the ex-
cited widower.
"No, no, monsieur" she said sooth-
ingly.
"She is dead. she is dead!"
"Monsieur! monsieurv' said the
young woman, striving to quiet him.
at is her spirit!' shouted the
widower.
"Nay, monsieur; will you not listen
for one moment to me%'
ga ghost! Il ghostv he shouted.
The sister-in-law became frightened as
sire saw M. Berger's excitement.
"Help! help" he exclaimed.
In vain were her efforts to soothe the
half-distracted man, who rushed to-
wards large portrait hanging upon
the wall, and which was life-like pic
ture of his departed wife.
For moment he looked first at the
sister and then at the painting, with
clasped hands and wild expression in
his eyes. Then he once more shreked
at the top of his voice:
"Help! A ghost! ghost" He then
fell upon the floor, shaking in every
limb.
The neighbors hurried in and at
tempted to lift him up, but M. Berger

THREE MYSTERIOUS LETTERS.

An English traveller reaching New
York put up at Il fashionable hotel and
looking down the list Of arr walls found
the name OF Osheil written in large,
sprawling hand, with the capital letters
+. X. :. after it, The grlve-looking,
middle-aged gentleman was struck by

INFLUENCE OF '%oMANs SOCIETY.

1t is better for you, says Thackeray,
to pass an evening once or twice in a
lady's drawing-room, even though the
conversation is slow, and you know the
girls songs by heart, than in club,
tavern, or the pit of theatre. All
amusements of youth to which virtuous
women are not admitted, rely on it, are
deleterious to their nature. All men
who avoid female society have dull per-
ceptions and are stupid, or have gross
lasts, and revolt against what is pure.
Your club swaggerers, who are sucking
the butts of billiard cues all night, call
female society insipid. Poetry is insipid
to a yokel; beauty has no charms for
blind man. music does not please poor
beast who does not know one tune from
another; and as true epicure is hardly
ever tired of water-souchy and brown
bread and butter, protest can sit for
whole night talking to well-regulated,
kindly woman about her girl coming
out, or her boy at Eton, and liking the
evenings entertainment. One of the
great benefits man may derive from
women's society is, that he is bound to
be respectful to them. The habit is of
great good to your moral man, depend
upon it. Our education makes us the
most eminently selfish men in the world.
We fight for ourselves we push for our
selves, we light our pipes, and say we
won't go out. We prefer ourselves and
our ease; and the greatest good that
comes to man from woman's society
is that he has to think of somebody be-
sides himself, somebody to whom he
is bound to be constantly attentive and
respectful.

DRINKING HEALrHs.-The drinking of
healths originated during the Danish
occupation OF Britain. The Danes fire.
quently stabbed Englishmen while in
the act of drinking, and it finally became
necessary for the English, in view of the
constant repetition of this dastardly mode
of assassination, to enter into compact
to be mutual pledges of security for each
others health and preservation. Hence
the custom of pledging and drinking
healths.
