3 AN EPISODE OF THE

[Original.1

[Original.1
It was during the reign of terror that
relieved France of her king and queen
and many Of her nobility that a small
wedding party assembled in a chateau
near town on the banks of the Loire.
The young Marquis Jean de Lefevre
was about to marry Artinse Binoinette,
the daughter of a neighboring noble.
The two had grown up together, and
their passage from childish compan-
ionship to a youthful love had been so
gradual that they did not recognize
the latter when it came till they were
about to be separated. Jean was only
nineteen and Artinse only s&teen, and
no thought of marriage had come to
either till it became evident that the
young man must cross the border if
he would escape the general massacre
of mobiles then setting in. Then he
discovered that he could not bear to
leave Artinse behind him, and Artinse
discovered that she could not bear to
! be left behind. The countess, jeans
mother, pleaded with him to fly at once.
but he resolutely refused to go unless
he might take Artinse with him. And
SO hasty wedding was arranged be:

unobserved, filling up the gaps filed
with the black bread given him to eat,
and on the second night was ready for
escape. Putting on the suit and attach
ing the rope to the window bars he had

tween these two young people, both of
whom were still in their teens.
The ceremony had been performed
and the pair pronounced man and wife
when a dozen or more citizens ap-
peared at the door, and, pushing their
way in, one Of them laid his hand on
the groom's shoulder, saying:
''Citizen Lefevre, you are wanted by
the committee of safety"
Alas, the departure had been delay
ed too long! The groom was torn from
his bride and carried away to the jail
in which common malefactors had
been imprisoned, but which was now
turned into political jail.
For time Artinse gave way to hys-
terical shrieks, then quieted down, and
at last began to concentrate her facul-
ties upon some method of freeing her
husband. The prospect of the guillotine,
instead of paralyzing her, sharpened
her wits, serving as goad to an in
ventive faculty which had hitherto lain
dormant, but which now showed itself
to be remarkable. She planned an es-
cape for her lover, and planned it her.
self without suggestions from others.
But, having once conceived 1t, she Sc
lected q few confederates to assist her
in carrying it out.
Once every day she was admitted to
the prison where her husband was con-
fined. She was not allowed to see him
alone, but to talk to him through the
steel bars that separated his cell from
the corridor. On the third day she went
on her daily visit ready to communi-
cate to him her plan, the principal part
Of which fell to him. But how was she
to do this, guard standing watching
her slightest motion and listening to
every word? She had provided way,
and on it's success depended the whole
matter of his escape.
Having been taken to his cell, the two
stood on each side Of the bars talking.
Artinse gave her lover look to warn
him that he was to expect something.
When the time allotted for the visit
had passed she put up her mouth for a
kiss. The kiss was long one, and dur
ing the period their lips were together
Artinse contrived to push with her
tongue little pellet into her husbands
mouth. Then when she saw that she
had succeeded she withdrew.
This beginning, without which the
escape was impossible, thrilled Artinse
with hope, and she went home in a
tremor Of excitement. Still, there was
much to be done, many ways BY which

INDIA RUBBER.

When we think of the many differ
ent uses to which India rubber is
now put, we cannot repress a smile
as we read the following allusion to
it in DR.. Priestley's book on Per-
spective, published in 177o, which,
it is said, is the earliest mention of
the substance: 81 have seen a sub
stance exccllently adapted to the pur-
pose of wiping from paper the
marks of a black lead pencil. 1t is
sold by Mr.. Marine, mathematical
instrument maker, opposite the Roy
al Exchange. He sells cubical piece
of about half an inch for three shill-
ings, and he says it will last several
years."

BEST AGE FOR MARRIAGE.

A German doctor lays it down as
a well established fact based on
close observation that women who do
not marry until IS or thereabout
invariably achieve matrimonial sue
cess.
Why women of this particular age
should make more successful mar
riages than those who fall victims
to loves young dream is fairly OBJ
vious. When woman nlarries be-
tween 80 and 40 she either does so
for companionship, choosing her
mate accordingly, or from need, in
which case she also chooses with a
certain amount of care. She has
no wild dreams of unalloyed bliss.

TAKING A FACE BATH.

Water will do wonders for one if
people but realized it. AS a COM
pleXion maker, for instance, it is a
great beautifer used both internally
and externally. An excellent tonic
effect may be. had by taking face
bath at least once day in cold wa

it can be conveniently reached with

MEMORIAL OF ADAM"

April 1 was marked on old calen-
dars as the Memorial of Adam
The orientals relate that Adam,
when dying, charged his children
to bury his body, embalmed with
myrrh, incense and cassia, in the
cave of Al-Kanuz, near Paradise.
When they quilted the place they
were to convey his body to the center
of the earth, whence would come
salvation to his posterity. This is
said to have been done by Noah and
Melchizedek, who reburied him on
the sacred hill of Calvary.
