My eyes glued the crevice; I lost
not single detail of the august
ceremony. With eager curiosity
watched the crowd as it gradually
dispersed, while the firenies extin-
guished their lights one by one.
Then noiselessly | turned to trace
on the moonlit path the course of
the newly welded couple after ex-
Treating themselves from the tu-
multuous throng.
Where would they go? Would
they fly away for their honeymoon
toward some distant nuptial flower,
under a warmer azure, beneath
more ardent starsp Or would they
content themselves with the first
convenient corolla invitingly open
under the discreet curtain of leaf?
wherever fancy leads you, oh,
gentle bride and bridegroom, may
the god of insects ephemeral and
flowers quickly fading to you be
kindl May you have much happi-
ness in the few hours of your brief
springtimel
"Never may the sabot of a peas
ant or the slipper of a woman who
perchance seeks repose under tree
cause you fear as you wing your
flight so close one to the other, over
moss clad bank, from bush to bush |!
May the dewdrops that you sip to-
gether be ever perfumed to your
tastel May the chalice proffered
never refuse an odorous lodging
And if you should fall into the
clutches of some cruel child may it
be the same little hand that seizes
you both SO that you may suffer and
die togetherl"
While l was breathing these
heartfelt wishes for their happiness
the two insects had not flown away; ;
they had climbed up the length of
Bengal rose bush, the topmost rose
of which surmounted the ledge of
my window, and l saw them disap-
pear inside the flower, whose petals,
half gone, closed softly over the ten
der pair.
Not for one instant would I have
thought of returning to my room by
the window as / had left-a rustling
Of the leaves would have disturbed
the rapt lovers in their first init
macy. started, therefore, toward
the door, where happened to OBJ
serve on the stone ledge another
bug, which l had not perceived be-
fore and who without doubt had fol-
lowed the others.
What was its business here?
Why had it come? Was it a rela-
tive of the bride or-who knows
a rival of the bridegroom?
Many a man has suffered under
the windows of a nuptial chamber,
and among insects, perhaps, as with
us, it is the misfortune Of some that
becomes the happiness of others.
The poor little creature remained
motionless, close by the rosebush.
l touched it with the end of my
finger very gently. 1t stirred not.
Alas! / knew, then, that it was
dead.-Translated From the French
For Commercial Advertiser.

Then the ..aox nIushed.

1t is mistake to presume upon
the misfortunes of others, as the
following shows: A gentleman who
had been afflicted with deafness re-
turned home from visit to Lon
don, and soon after went to call up
on lady of his acquaintance.
He found her at home, and with
her cousin of hers, who was also
paying her a visit. The hostess re-
ceiyed him with politeness and in
troduced him to her cousin, but to
her introduction she added in a
perfectly audible tone, "He's good
man enough, but he's terribly stu
pid and as deaf as a post"
The gentleman colored.
~ may be stupid" he said, "but
! am no longer as deaf as a post,
for i have been cured during my abb
sence and can hear as well as any
body."-London Fun.

Bird HUNTING on tlorsebaek.

Kentuckians Of the blue grass re-
gion hunt birds on horseback. A
Kentuckian's hunter must not only
be willing to stand while the owner
dismounts and goes to look after a
covey of birds, but must also allow
the owner to fire shotgun from its
back.
A great deal of the hunting in
the blue grass region is now done
in this way, and many of the sports
men are as good at wing shooting
from the saddle as from the ground.
