think of you with gratitude and re
spect all my life" -
'And shall think of you, fear, toe
long. But go away, please; we are ap.
preaching the barrier, and you have de-
ranged my couture. Sit as far back Us
you can. You must not be seen; and if
any questions are asked leave me to
answer. And. now, silence"
/ had hardly obeyed this injunction
and retreatcd into my corner, making
myself as invisible as possible, when
heard hoarsc voice call out:
''Stop! Whose carriage is that?'
''The carriage of Gen. Bonaparte,' "
answered the coachman.
"Ah, yes, I recognize it. But whom
have you inside? The citizen general
is on a tour of inspection, they say"

Julie. sharply, letting down the win
dow and leaning forward SO as to pre-
vent me from being seen.
Il beg your pardon, cheyenne gen.
erale; should be desolated to give You
any annoyance. But we have strict
orders to let no one pass the barrier un-
questioned. An English prisoner OF
war has killed an officer and escaped,
and it is expected that he will try to
leave Paris tonight. But we have his
description, and he won't find it easy to
slip through my fingers. You may go

were once more en- route, land but for
your quiclness and presence of mind,
dear Julie, I should have been laid by

''And yet you are going to leave me!'
"What would you have me do?
Would you like to stay and not only be
lad by the heels, but in all probability
lose my life?"
''No! no! a thousand times no, cher
monsieur! You must go, though
though it should break my heart"
Here Julie laid her head on my shout
der and fell a-weeping. Her affection
began to be rather trying; for, though
her kindness and devotion had endeared
her to me, and I fe.t flattered by her
preference and enjoyed her company, it
would have been decidedly embarrass-
ing If she had proposed to accompany
me to Boulogne. Fortunately. she did
not. tried to console her, limited that
our separation was not likely to prove
eternal, talked about the probability Of
an early peace, promised that when
ever could do so safely would revisit
Paris; and by the time we reached st.
Denis, Julie. whose moods were some
what inconstant, had recovered her COM
posture.
The carriage stopped near an auberge..
known rs The Red Cat, hard by which
stood a post-chaise.

man to the position, who was giving
his horses a lock Of hay-'1t is q cold

THE idea of imposing solely upon
sreal estate. is attacked by the advo-
Gates Of what has been humorously
called the collar-button system Of taxa
ton. This system has prevailed in
various states, Pennsylvania among the
number. It tries to tax every form Of
property, and has been called the coll
lar.button system Of taxation, because
one of its most enthusiastic advocates
insisted that he would tax everything
down to q five-cent collar-button. The
system is annoying, oppressive, unjust.
expensive and unscientific. It involves
inquisitorial visits to tho house upon
the part Of the assessor; It results in
perjury on the one hand by those who
seek to escape taxation, and on the 9TH
er unfair burdens upon honest men
who give truthful inventory Of their
possessions When, at various times
there has been partial application Of

Death, By Suicide.

On last Frida, morning, Mrs.
William Aurand, near W ebb Sum-
NIT, committed suicide by hanging.
She had not been in good health for
some time, but for the last three
weeks, appeared to be growing bet
ter, and was of more cheerful spirits.
The morning of her unfortunate act
she seemed as usual and assisted in
her usual household work. Her
daughter missed her, and not find
her about, informed her hush nd
who was working in the field. Search
was made and she was discovered
hanging lifeless in the barn, the
body not cold. She had fastened
a rope to / rafter and around her
neck and leaped from tie manger.
She was good woman and her sad
death creates profound regret in the
community. Her husband and rel
atives have the sincere sympathy of
the public.
