Philadelphia. This Of course entailed
a quarrel with the eX-king. who at the
time was living a Bordentown, n. j.,
and the newly married couple were left
to their own devices, the first IS years
Of their married life being full Of
strange vicissitudes, their children be-
ing born amid downright want and
something akin to starvation. Thus
they were in such straits for money
that Prince Lucien was actually forced
to accept employment as the driver of
milk wagon i'm Trenton, while his
wife eked out a scant subsistence as
schoolma am.
or course, the coup detat at Paris
and the ascent of Napoleon to the
throne changed all this, and on Prince

title of prince and granted a handsome
allowance by the emperor. OF his three
children one is the Duchess de Mouchy
who for so many years was the chief
friend and confidant of Empress Euge-

Murat, formerly general in the
French army. and who was engaged for
a time TO Miss Caldwell of Washing

A View From Ararat. the Mountain OF tho

At last we stood up the summit of
Ararat-but the sun no longer pierced
the white Vapor: a fierce gale drove
across the forbidden region and
whipped the eye, straining to distin-
guish the limits of snow and cloud
Vague forms hurried past on the
wings of the Whirlwind: in place of
the landscape of the land of promise
we searched dense banks OF fog
We were standing on the spot where

The peaks which rose on the dis

faltered into speech were wrapped
about with wreaths of fancy, n palpa-
bile world OF cloud. Did we fix our
foot upon these solid landmarks to
wish the vague away. TO see the hard

INTERRUPTED THEM
Amusing Story Of a Pair of Lovers
and Pair of Dogs.
MARRIED ON A MOVING TRAIN
A Practical Man Who Wouldn't
Miss His Train Even to Secure
His Brlde-A Novel Way
Of "Proposing,"

Hiram Davidson was a widower. He
was a station master at the hamlet OF
Swaynesboro' -Four Corners. and the
station was also his home.
He had one child, a daughter, and
one dog, a bull dog. His daughter,
Alice, was the prettiest girl in the
county. and the dog. Jack, was the
homeliest beast in the state of Connec-
ticut. Alice was a favorite with every
one who knew her; Jack was loathed
by all except his master and Alice.
Although Alice had many admirers,
she remained heart free until she was
is. at which time Arthur Carpenter
came upon the scene. His home was
in Neponset. r. l., but Four Corners
was his native place. He had left the
little village 10 years before, when he
was 16. He had come back for n week
of fishing.
When he stepped off the train at
Swanesboro' Four Corners, he went to
the ticket office 10 speak TO his old
friend, Mr.. Davidson. Then three un-
usual things happened. Alice was there
alone, and he smiled upon her. 1t was
not the ordinary pleasant expression,
habitual with some people whenever
they pass the time of day, but a smile
of satisfaction as If his eyes had shown
him something unusually grateful.
He had been hit for the first time in
thing was that Alice smiled in return.
The little god had bagged two at a
shot The third and last unusual thing
was that Jack. who had followed Car
penter into the waiting room. shifted
around him. wagging his tail.
While Arthur was recalling himself
20 Alice's recollection, her father came
in. He recognized Carpenter at once
and he asked him to come to supper
that evening, and Arthur gladly ac-
cepted the invitation. Arthur lost lit
tie time in seeking out the old haunts
of the trout; but while he had excel
lent luck, he found himself looking
forward to the evening call with feel
ings altogether new and strange.
There was no doubt of it, He was in
love. But that fact did not interfere
at ell with his hardheadness. He would
lose no time in shillyshallylng, but
would ask her to be his wife that even
ing. If she consented he would take
her back to Rhode Island on Saturday
If she refused he'd so back without
her.
That evening he chatted with Hiram

replied Hiram drily. See here, you'd

"a good idea" said Arthur and
bought his ticket.
SO, after the baggage was checked.
Mr.. Davidson invited everybody to
come and have something to eat, and
soon they were all silently seated at

saIa's Description of His First Visit to
Niagara Fails.


Niagara Fails.
From the London News.
This story of George Augustus Sala
is told by himself. When he was So
iourninE in the United States, some
thirty years since, the publisher OF a
popular magazine waited on him one
day and asked him if he was willing
TO write him an article of sixteen
pages, for which he offered a very
handsome remuneration.
The subject" inquired Sala.
Niagara" was the reply.
Good heaVenst" exclaimed the En-
glish journalist, Il have been there. but

itor had gone he sat down TO write,
telling in his decisive fashion how he
contrived 10 prevent a smart yankee
from opolizing n corner seat in the

manteau and found ii again, all Of
which suggested telling a little story
If what once befell him at a custom
house on the German Russion frontier,

ready exhausted the space allotted to
him, yet had not said a single word
about the falls of Niagara. Thereupon
he dipped his pen in the ink once more
and added the words: "P. 81 ought
to have mentioned that there are some
very remarkable natural water works
in the neighborhood." The perpetrator
of this audacious evasion used to de-
clare, with an extra twinkle in his bet
ter eye. that, so far from showing re-
sentiment, the editor and his readers
were charmed with his smartness and
delighted with the jest.

We all know the people of whom 1t is
usual TO say that they are in world but
not of it. Mr. Sala was not at all of that
sort. In the world he certainly was. up to
his ears and sometimes over them. but
he was intensely of it, too. of just as
much of II as his astonishing energy en-
abled him to reach. If ne had been re-
sponsible for its daily conduct and revo-
buttons he could hardly have shown a
livelier interest in its doings and shows
and concerns than he did. For years he
personally kept as much of its daily rec
ord as any one man could. From time to
time he sailed out and inspected it,
choosing always TO be present where
there was the most going on. and send
ing back prompt word of all he saw for
the information of his faithful constitu-
ents in London.
For 80 years or so. while his vigor re-
manned unimpaired. life must have been
as full of interest and satisfaction TO him
as il was of labor. To be sure. he writ
his name in water. Some of his stories
are good but they are not great His
newspaper articles served their purpose
well. but those that did not make books
are buried I'm the files OF the Daily Tele-
graph. More that did make over into
hooks made books of interest, but not
classics. The man himself was even more
interesting than what he saw, and he will
live for some time TO come in his reminis-
cences. But the man who makes shoes
does not repine because the shoes wear
out, and the maker Of newspaper litera-
ture need not worry because his product
does not keep. Work honestly done and
paid for ought TO he and TO bring its own
sufficient reward.-From The Point OF
View in the February Scribners.
