The Legend of tho To. Plant.

Do you know how the tea plant came
to grow? A very lovely Chinese maiden
loved with all her soul an equally beau
tiful Chinese youth, but, alas! she had
"a rival. However, he plighted his troth
to her, and all went merry as rice and
fire-crackers could make it. just be-
fore the wedding the beauteous youth
laid himself down under a tree to take
q nap. He looked like picture on a
screen. His beauty was too much for
the wicked girl. who also loved him, but
who was not to be his bride. So she de-
termined to take away some of his good
looks. His lashes curled on his cheeks
like bang newly done by a French hair
dresser. Going up to him she immedi-
ately cut them off. When his own, his
true love, saw him after the accident
she said: .'Can this be your and he
said it was. Then he told of the wicked
one, and they both prayed to the gem
tlest of Chinese gods to finish him up
and make his eyelashes grow again,
and the Chinese god. being economical,
said: 1.-THE ones you have lost shall
not be wasted; go and plant them, and
from them shall spring tree that shall
delight all mankind" And they did as
he told them, and at the wedding they
had tea from the youths eyelashea. and
the wicked one wept and was beheaded

body-servant), lead me Into the hou>e
and could tell by my fathers voice
that he also was deeply moved, Tor,
though felt 30 much better, I dare say
I looked very i'll.
One of the first questions asked was
about the De Gexes. They were at the
same lodgings, said my mother. but she
feared that they were not doing very
well. At any rate, Mme- de Gex looked
anxious and Antoinette unhappy at
times very unhappy-as II they were
| struggling with adverse circumstances
or some hidden sorrow were weighing
on their minds. They were very much
distressed when they heard of my dis
aster, and called often to inquire about
me.
Dear grill had no difficulty in guess
ing the cause Of her distress. And then,
without more ado, told my father and
mother of my love for Antoinette and
what had passed between us, and re-
| quested my mother to go to Nine. de
Gex and ask her permission to pay my
court to her daughter, and, as could
not go to see Antoinette, to bring her to
see me.
My mother warmly approved my
choice, and agreed to do as / wished.
Antoinette, she said, was dear. good
girl. She had borne adversely with
rare fortitude, and in winning her /
had won priceless treasure.
My father was less gushing. While
agreeing with my mother that Miss de
Gex was a charming young woman, he
rather doubted the expediency OF half
pay captain marrying a moneyless
bride.
''How do you know that I am going
to marry on half-pay, or that Antoi-
nette is without money?" asked.
II know you have nothing else; and
she has nothing at all"
Don't be so sure, father. At any
rate, wait until Nine de Gex and
Antoinette come-when, I think, you
will hear something that will surprise
you"
s'You don't mean"
sit is no use; you must wait: it won't
be long"
Every good. I will wait"
While my mother went for Antoinette,
my father went for an oculist. The
oculist came first. He examined my
eyes carefully; and this was his verdict:
that should see-but whether i'll, well,
or indifferently, time alone would show;
that for at least six weeks to come l

about with q deep shade over my eyes,
and at the end of three months should
probably require no other protection
than pair of smoked glasses.
To my disappointment, my mother re-
turned alone. But she brought good
news. Nine. de Gex sanctioned my en-
gagement to her daughter. She could
refuse nothing. she said, to the man
who had SO greatly distinguished him.
