PART 1.-THE EXPLANATION.

A long tune elapsed ere B anchou. in spite of his intimacy with Desplein, found an opportunity of tackling him upon this strange vagary of his. Meet as they might, and did, in consultation and in society, it never happened to them to them to fl ad themselves together in one of those confidential fete ket<s in which with foot on fender and head buried in the back of snu, arm-chair, two friends tell each other their secrets. At length seven years from the date ot Desplein s last recorded visit to Saint-Sulpice, after July, I83o, had come and gone. and when the p,Lu acc, still in state of revolution ary terment, was at acking the Lambeth of Paris, and inspir cd by republican fan a'icism, was making short work of the gilt crosses that gieamed from the tops of the churches over the vast wilderness of houses called P4hs-like f.shes of lightning over dark and troubled sea at the very time when infidelity was strutting through the streets cheek by ,wl with rebellion, then it was tha, Bianchon for the third time caught Des. psei0 iE the act os s1ssrius SIins Sl,p;ce The young physician followed his fnend lately his master-into the church and sat down beside him without evoking any token of recognition, or even a gesture of surprise. And there together th.y heard mass the mass that Desplein had toun led.
 And now," said Bianchon, as they left the sacred building together arm in arm, twill you be good enough to tell me the reason of vour mo~k dsvos;ov, ? Thrice have 1 caught you attending mass; you, of all men in the worldi 1 really must call upon you to read me this riddle. and to explain this Aasrant iocongruity between your opinions and your conduct. You don't believe in God, and yet you go to massl Dear master, you owe mo an explanation of this mystery"
 The explanation is simple enough" replied Desplein. "'m just like many other folks whose apparent devotion is . mere sAam, and who at bottom are as

 Who in glory mol ed mt: Ashes. dust and air an l fire

 Is unlike my mortal parts, Yet the feelings are the same
 That hay flushed within our hearts. For thy blood has leap d with passion, Lsngu'shed with strange unrest, And thy hatreds are in fashion
 With the hatreds in my breast Tiger, tiger this is why
 Thou hast sl in my brave, sweet son, Yet the good God up on high
 Let the evil deed be done Atoms trom far cout tiess places Met and mingled Tn thy form, Out of old, dead realms and races Memories of sun and storm. Tiger tiger from the flood,

 Flies my arrow through the air, And the golden lilies glow
 With his life blood leaping there; And hear thy w,ld, quck, pleading Cry of passion and ot ratn, And see thee press the bleeding

stuueut ot manklno VIII sanction the lofty pre'ensions of Desplein, and will deem him, as he deems himself, to have had in him the making of a minister, potentially as great as the actual surgeon.
 Among the many enigmas which De- splein's life presented to the eyes of his contemporaries, we have chosen one ofthe most interesting, not merely because it is one of the most interesting, but also be. cause the solution will be found toward the close of the narf ative, and will vindi. cate his memory from certain unjust as- persions.
 Among all Desplein's hospital pupils, Horace Bianchon was one ot his gre ates, favorites. Before he became a residen, student at the Hotel D.eu, Bianchon lad been an ordinary medical student, and had lodged in miserable boarding house, si uated n the Qu ,riier Latin, and kno wn as La Maison Vauquer." There the poor young fellow had undergone the trials of that pinching poverty which IS, as 1t were, . sort of a crucible, whence men of genuine talent issue pure and in- corruptible as Aawless diamonds, which no blow can damage. Tested by the herce Ire of their unclaimed passions, their integrity acquires solidity which no su6seq tent temptation can destroy. The incessant toll. by means of which they seek to curb their gnawing appetites, prepares and fi,s them for the struggles in which genius is ever called upon to engage. Horace, then, was an upright lad, altogether incapable of swerving from the path of honor; . lad of few words and prompt deeds, ready to pawn his coat or cit up day and nigkt to sssvs . friend. It short hs was one of thoss

Petition Asking for Market Square for
the Sailors and Soldiers MOnu.
t-POlO-Sentenced
to Jail.

PORTLAND, Feb. 16
Gen. Brown, for the executive committee
of the soldiers and sailors monument associa-
ton, has filed petition asking that Market
Square, now occupied by Market Hall, be
given to the association for the monument,
and asked that special meeting of the boards
might be called to act upon it. The mayor
decided that the municipal year is so nearly
expired that the request must go over to the
new city government. The associations
proposition is to erect within three years,
monument costing not less than $4,000.
The Bijous beat the famous Bay State
club at polo tonight, goals to 2 in 35 min
utes.
Edwin z. Treat was sentenced to Jail for
seven months, for taking illegal fees in pro-
curing pensions.
Judge Colt, circuit judge, has ordered a
writ of error to issue to the circuit court, and
the further execution of said sentence to be
stayed Treat gave bonds to prosecute said
writ to effect, and is under $4,000 bonds to
appear in said court. He will be brought be-
fore the court on writ of habeas corpus.
