In Hannx emma.

The emperor OF China is not con-
tent with the respect shown him by
his subjects. and recently issued the
following peculiar order; after
bringing our sacrifice recently to
the highest being. we heard upon
our return to the palace. near the
gate leading to the imperial quar-
tiers. a rather loud noise caused by
talking. This shows that the peo-
pie have not the proper regard for
the majesty of the ruler, and also
that the officers of the bodyguard
have failed to do their dut properly.
The officers Who were on post at the
peculiar gate must be punished.
therefore, by the minister OF war
In the future, however, all officers,
high or low. must see that a noise
so improper shall not occur in onr
prcsence."-N. Y. Tribune.

these thoughts treasured him and he
spoke to Benoit of his hopes. To his
joy, Benoit gave him his hand willing

ter, who had just gone into the hay
field. Bancroche followed at a dis
lance. and himself unseen watched the
farmer approach Marietta and address
her in a low voice. Then, after a mo-

with a peal of laughter and heard her

was a fine fellow, muscular, with broad
shoulders, an open face and clear eyes.
More than one of the pretty country
girls would have liked to know him,
but he hardly addressed a word to
them, held back by timidity and shame
OF his poor leg. He never complained,
and when he watched his friends dane
ing at the fair, with their arms about
their partners waists, he accepted his
position with the philosophy OF a coun-
try fatalist. But one day he suffered
the sorrow of a great disappointment.
He wanted to serve in the army, but
first he must pass the examination
with the others. He marched limping
along the road with them, his hat Or
namented with long tri-colored rib
bons which foated in the breeze, and
sung at the top Of his voice with an
animation which made him forget he
was not like the rest of the world. But
his joy was short-lived.
Unfit for service; deformity of the
hip" pronounced the officer.
1T is unfortunate" added the gen.
eral, without that he would have
made a splendid soldier"
Bancroche departed alone, his heart
full of sadness and feeling the flower
OF courage and loyalty which had
sprung up in him wither from lack of
n~ourishment. He reached the farm
where he was employed without meet
ing anyone, and going to the bed where
he slept he threw himself down and
wept un~controllably.
Some time after this Bancroche was
employed on the farm of a certain
Benoit, a well-to-do farmer, who had a
very pretty daughter named Marietta.
Her white teeth made a line of ivory
behind two rosy lips always parting in
a smile. Her figure was dainty, her
arms strong, her feet untiring; alto
gether she was the picture of vigorous
beauty. She might have been a Ceres
OF Rubens, in all the strength and
freshness of her 20 years. And, of
course, Bancroche fell madly in love
with her. She was not long in per-
ceiving her victory and, as she was
something Of a %coquette, she did all
she could to encourage him. She was
so good to him, looked at him with
eyes so sweet and bright that the
cripple was fired with love and hope,
letting himself dwell on happy dreams
of the future, in which he saw himself
departing from the church with Ma
riette, his wife. leaning on his arm.
He said many tender things to her. and
once. putting her mouth very close to
his ear, she had whispered: "Bancroche,

himself. To be sure he was a cripple.
but he invented a thousand reasons t.
persuade himself that this was not an
