A Clever Rus. and Its Result.

NJ. Fleury who had been tutor to the
Due d'Aumale, was, in l84S, private
secretary to the Duchess of Orleans.
When the revolution of February broke
out, a rabble invaded the Palais Royal,
where the Princess resided, and began
smashing works Of art, pictures, statu.
cites, and knickknacks. All the house
hold was seized with panic except M.
Fleury, who, throwing off his coat,
smeared his face and hands with coal,
caught up poker and rushed among
the mob, shouting: "Here, I'll show
you where the best pictures are" So
saying, he piled his poker upon furni-
ture of no value, and thus winning the
confidence of the roughs, was able to
lead them out OF the royal apartments
into the kitchen regions, where they
spent their patriotic fury upon the con-
tents of larder and cellar. The sequel
of this story is very droll, and Bismarck
relates it with great relish. A few days
after he had saved Palais Royal, NJ.
Fleury was recognized in the streets as
the Duchess of Orleans secretary and
mobbed. He was being somewhat
roughly hustled, when hulking wa
ter-carrier elbowed his way through the
throng and roared: "Let that man be /!
He is one of the right sort. He led lis
to the pillage of the Palais Royal the
other day.

A Generous wido,y

It is learned that S. Quale, who died
at Eau Claire few weeks ago and left
a wish, but no will, that when his es-
tate reached the value of $1,000. 900 II
should be used in erecting and main
tanning in Madison hospital for Grip
pies, said short time before his death
that he then owned property, which, il
he could only live to dispose of it.
would net him $l.1OO, 900, but that #
sold by others would probably not
bring more than 100000. Thus it
seems that some years are to elapse be.
fore the cherished hope of the dead hui
manitarian will be realized, Mr..
Quale's wife voluntarily and with per-
fect understanding signed the deed be-
fore the death of her husband. bv
which he conveyed all his property to
three trustees for management in &C.
cordance with his known wishes. and Il
is given out that Lot only she. but the
other relatives, are earnest in their in
tention to see that the desires of Ouale
are carried out.-Mil,oaukee Sentinel

Buried in . Convent,s walls.

A few years ago, when Archbishop
Corrigan, of New York. was bishop Of
Newark, N. j., the first monastery Of
clustered nuns in the United States
was established in the latter city. A
second monastery is now being erected
at Hunts Point, overlooking the sound,
q few miles from the Harlem Riyer sta.
ton Of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad. tits called Corpus
Christi Monastery. John D. Crem-
Minis, of New York, has donated $25, 900
toward the monastery and also the land
six acres-upon which it stands.
There was an old mansion on the farm,
and this the sisters use as % temporary
convent. There are fifteen of them and
few postulates or probationists. They
belong to the Order of Nuns of the Per.
petual Alteration of st. Dominick. The
life of these nuns is passed in constant
prayer and perpetual alteration of the
blessed sacrament. They rise at 5
o'clock and are engaged in devotions
until Z. At 9 o'clock, breakfast, con-
sisting of half cup OF black coffee and
two ounces OF bread, is served. They
then work on embroidery. At 1880 o
short meditation is made and at IL din
ner, consisting of fish, vegetables and
fruit is partaken of. No meat is ever
eaten within the walls of the cloister
A little exercise is then taken, followed
by almost constant devotions until G.,
when supper is served. Beets, pota.
toes, fruit and tea constitute the frugal
fare. AT so'clock they so to their beds,
which consist of bare plank boards,
five and one-half feet long and three
feet wide. They sleep in their habits,
undressing only for change or for the
bath. At 10 o'clock they leave their
beds and hold devotions until 2, when
they again seek their beds. Throughout
the day silence is the rule, per-
mission to speak being accorded only
by the prioress. From September IA
until Easter of each year the sisters
hold fast, eating only eight ounces Of
bread day. They,never see visitors.
but talk to them through q screened
aperture in wall.
The foundation stone of the new mon
astery was laid June IL, 1889. 1t is 9
Gothic structure. The front is 176 feet
with total depth through the
chapel of 28S feet.

the house, and laid 1t IN the glass globe
| where the gold fish used to live (the
gold fish were dead and naughty puss
knew how they died), and she placed
the globe on small table in the
library, near the window, where the
sunshine could fall on il just half the
day.
| There was baby butterfly wrapped
snugly up in the cocoon, and as soon as
! it felt its wings begin to grow it began
to dream of the beautiful, happy life
it should lead when it was strong
enough to burst from its silken cell.
II shall see the lovely flowers on
every side" dreamed the butterfly;
"the roses-pink, white, crimson, and
yellow-each with q precious drop of
honey kept near her golden heart for
me. I shall visit the graceful lilies
and pretty lockspurs, and in their cups
find sparkling dew, and glittering rain
drops and many sweets. l shall linger
by the fragrant honeysuckles and steal
kisses from their scarlet cheeks. 1
shall whisper secrets in rhyme to the
honest, loving clover, and the star-like
daisies. / shall hear the bees hum and
the birds sing, and peep into the bird
nests where the little white, round eggs
are laid. shall float in the summer
air and dance the merry wing dance
with hundreds of gay, brightly dressed
butterflies. Oh! hasten away days and
nights" said the baby butterfly in its
dream, "and bring the hour when I
may unfold my wings and fly"
Aud at last the hour came.
The baby butterfly had become full
grown one, and, forcing its way through
one end of the cocoon in which it had
been imprisoned so long, it stood for an
hour or two almost motionless, with
damp, folded wings; and then, growing
strong with the pure, cool air it breathed,
it proudly unfolded them and scared
out at the open top Of the glass globe.
But where were the beautiful flowers
and birds and bees and kindred butter
fies2
Nothing did the bright winged
stranger see but white ceiling, gray
walls and the backs of many books.
And stunned by such rude awaken
ing from its dream, it flew back to the
globe and chung upon the outer edge,
with bowed head and dropping wings.
Lulu, coming into the library for
book, greeted the newcomer with cry
of delight, and then fastened to bring
it sugar and water on tiny saucersof
dainty doll-china; but it would not eat
Then she brought sweet flowers froa
the garden; but the butterfly never
moved--they were not the flowers of its
dream.
The dream-fowers were fresh and
glowing. These, torn from their par
ent stems, were already dropping and
fading.
At last Lulu, sorry for the pretty,
almost heart-broken thing, opened the
window, and the breeze came gently in.
1t kissed the sorrowing butterfly, and
whispered something in the faintest,
softest whisper, and the butterfly spread
its lovely wings once more, futtered an
instant above the globe, and then sailed
away out of the window into the garden,
and in another moment its dream had
come true.-Detroit Free Press.
