Of all tlie oJJ sayings, proverbs or adages, with wl.ich our peasants elab orate their conversation, I know of none more pieturtsijuo than this one: Within a railiusot tilteenmiles about my mill, whenever thny npi-aic of a spiteful, vinil ctive man, tbey sav: "That man! look out for him! He is like the pope's mule that kept her kicn for seven yearsl" I have endeavored for a long time to find where this saying originated, and what were the circumstances connected with this papal mule and tue kick of her heels which she guarded for seven ears. No one here has been able to Inform me upon the subject, not even t raucet Manual, my fife-player, who, however, knows all the proveucal le gends on the tips of his fingers. Fran ca, thought, and so did I, that it was founded upon some old chronicle of the country of Avignon, but he has never heard it spoken of except in the prov erb. "You will enly hud that in the grasshoppers' library.'' the old fellow laughingly said to me. The idea truck me as a good one, and as the grasshoppers' library is at my door I went to bhut myseh up in it for eight davs. It is a marvelous library, well pro Tided, open to the poets night and day, and haviDg in attendance little libra rians with cymbals, who give you mu sic all the time. I passed aoveral days there delightfully, ami alter a week of researches, lyin on my Muck, 1 fin ished by discovering what I was look ing for; that is, tlio history of the mule and that famous ki. k of her heols which she guarded for Keven years. The story is pretty, a'thmigu a lit tlo in genious, and I shall tell it yon just us I read it yesterilav morning in a manu script tinted like the meadows, nil weet with the odor of lry lavender and having blessed lady's threads lor bookmarks. He who has not seen Avignon in the time of the popes has not ei;u any thing. For gaiety, ln'e, animation and A succession of fetes, no other city ever tqnaled it. From morning till niglit. procei-sions, pilgrimages, the strio.s trewn with flowers, decoruted with hangings, the arrivals of the cur JinaU on the Ktiouc, banners in the wind, galleys adorned wiih rings, the pope's soldiers who s mg in Lati i in the pub lio sijiiHres, and the lattlo of the beg ging fri.irs, then nil around tlio houses presMing about the gr ind papal palace like bees around a hive, the tick-tack of the hice-Uiiihers, the coming a:id going of tlie shinties weaving the gold of the chasublcH, t e harmony tables that wero tuned at tlie lu:e-ru:ikers, tlie canticles of the ourdi-seiises; besides this the no se of the i lo -k-?. and nlwuys the sound of the tnuili.. urines as lU -y rumblod below at the side ol'tlie bridge. For in our country, where tlie p ople are oonteut, tiiey itanco mi I they ilauee; and as at this time the city streets were too narrow for the fnran bde, the flfera and the tumbonriueurs took their stand on the bridge of Avignon, enjoy ing the fresh wind f , om the l.houe; and here, day uud iiight, I he people duueed and danced. Ah, what a happy time! What a happy city! For the hulber lsno longer cut, aud the wire was put iu the prisons of state to keep it fre?li. Xo aaore want! no more war! '1 his is the way the popes of the Corn tut governed their people; aud tins is why their people so much regret that they are gone. There was, above all, a good old man named Bonifuce. Ohl ti.e tenrs ih.t were slied in Avignon when he died. He was such nn amiable prince, to pre- Jiosscasing; be smiled to graeiuusly rom the height of his mule and wheu you passed Lear turn no matter whether you wire a pi or li't'e raga muffin or the great judge of the city he gave you his bhss ug so politely? A true pope of Vve ot, but of Vvetot of Provence, with something cunuing in his laugh, a sprig of marjoram iu his beretta and Lot the least Je uuetou. The only jeauneton that he was ev. r known to have, this good old father, was his vineyard a little one he had planted himself, three league t from Avignon, among the myrtle trees of Obateau-Xeuf. Jtvery Sunday after vespers the jortby man went to court his viueynrd. And when he was there, half-reclining in the warm snnlight It the foot of a tump, bis cardinals gathered round, his mule near by, theu he ordered a flagon of wine to be opened that de licious ruby-colored winn which has aince been called the Chateau-Neuf-des-JPapes and tastinir it in little sips, re frarded it with an affectionate air; then, the flagon empty, ho returned at dusk joyously to the village, followed by his whole chapter, and passing over the bridge at Avignon, between the tnin bonrines and the faraudolea, his mule, ioiated by the music, began to trip jently along until he himself marked the time of the dance with his berett i which greatly scandalized the cardi nals, though the people all said: "Ah! te good priuoe! Ah! the brave pope!" That which the pope loved be.-t in tha world, after his vineyard nt Cha-toan-Neuf, was his miiie. The good Baa just doted on it. Kvery mut be fore going to bed he went to tee that the siable was well fastened and thut nothing whs lacking iu the manger; never would he rise from the table without having hud prepared, Tinder his own eyes, a lurgo 1 owl of wine a la francaixe with a quantity of sugar and pices, which bo carried toller iiifoUf, in spite of the r luurksof his cardinals. I must say, too, that the beast was well worth the tiouble. buo was a beauti ful black mnle, speckled with red, with glossy coat, the. croup large and full, sure-fo tod, and carry mg proudly her pretty head all decorated with pompous and bows and silver bells and ribbons, and, moreover, sweet as uu augol, with an artless eye, and two loug cars always au iiiuuuu, wuicn gave uer tue air ol a food child. AU Avignon respected iter, and when she went iu the streets aha received great attention, for every one knew that that was tue snr.st way at finding favor at court; and that with liar innocent air, the pope's mulo had latl many a one to fortune. As proof listan to the story of Ti.-tet Vedino: Tistet Vedino was, by principle a shameless rogue, wuose lather, Guy Vadine, the sculptor in gold, had In-en hliged to send from home because ho did nothing but ent:ce tue npprcutico- from their work. For sit mouths he pent his time loafing al out t ie streets of Avignon, but priueipuliy by the side of the i apal I al.iee, fur the scoundrel for a long time had had a scheme on hand abont tue pope's ii.u!o aud you will be sure thu it nns somethi ig of a ttischievous one. One day, when his oliacM went out for a wjk oil ajona under the ramparts with his mole, Tis tet Vedine approached him, and, clasp ing his hands with an air of admiration, said to him: "Ah! Mon Dieul Grand Saint Pere, what a beautiful male yoa have there! Stop a moment that I may look at her. Ah! mon pape, the beau tiful mnle! The Emperor of Germany has not one to equal her." And he potted her and spoke sweetly to her, as he would to a yonng girL "Come now, my jewel, my treasure, my fine pearl " And the goodpope, mnch moved, said to himself: "What a good little fellow 1 How gentle he is with my mule." And then the next day do yon know what, happened? Tistet Vedine exchanged his old yellow jacket for a beautiful lace alb, a cassock of violet silk, shoes with buckles, and he entered into the tervice of the pope where never before bad anyone Deen admitted except the sons ot noblemen and the nephews of the cardinals. This is what you gain by intrigue. But Tis tet Vedine did not stop here. Once in the pope's service the rogue continued the game which had brought him such good luck. Insolent to every body, he had no kind attentions, no ci vility for anyone but the mule; and he was always found about the courts of the palace, with a handful of oats or a bunch of French grass, from which he gently shook the little pink blossoms while he looked up at the balcony of the holy father as if to say, "Hey! what's that for?" And finally the good pope, who felt that he yas growing old, concluded to leave to 'iistet the care of the stable and carrying the bowl of wine a la francatie to the mnle, and the cardinals did not laugh at this. JN either did the mule laugh any more. JNow when the nour arrived tor her to have her wine, she always saw coming towards the stables live or six little acolytes, who jumped quickly in to the straw with their cassocks and laces; then in a moment, a good warm odor of caramel and fragrant spices pervaded the stable, and Tistet Vedine ppeared, very carefully bringing the bowl of wine a la francaise. lheu the martyrdom of the poor beast commenced. The perfumed wine that she loved so much, that kept her so warm, that gave her wings, he had the cruelty to take to her there in the manger to mike her smell it; then, when her nostrils were full or it, pass it by. I have seen it. The beautiful flame-colored liquor all goes down the throats of those wretches. And yet, if they had but stolen her wine; but they were like little devils, all those little acolytes after they had drank it! One pulled her ears, another her tail; Ininuet mounted her back. licit qu. t tried his beretta on her, and not one of these rascals dreamed that by one kick the brave beast wonld be able to send th m all to the polar star or even inrther. But nol that wonld bj too undignified for the pope's mule the mule of benedictions and indul gences. It was all useless for the children to tease her, she did not get atjgry; and she had a grudge only against Tistet Vedine, as when she felt him behind her hoof longed to have at him, and trulv quite rightly, too. That scapegrace Tistet paid her such vil lainous tricks, id e invented such cruel things after drinking. One day it occurred to him to make her mount with him into the bell tower to the top, the extreme point of the palace, and what I tell you is not a story JUM.uuU Provencals have seen it. lou can picture to yourself the terror ot this poor unhappy mule when, after having turned round and round for an hour, groping up the stairway like a t-nul, and clambering np I don't know how many steps, she found herself all at once on a platform dazzling with light, and at 1 ,0D0 feet below her she perceived all of fantastiqne Avignon, the booths at the fair not much larger than hazel-nuts, the soldiers of the pope before the barracks like so many red ants, and yonder, spanning a thread of silver, a little microscopic bridge where they danced and danced. All, poor beast! What terror! What fright! The brav that she gave forth made all the window glass of the palace rat tie "What's the matter? What have they done to her?" cried the pope, rushing out on the balcony. Tistet Vedine was already in the court pretending to cry and to tear his hair. "Ah! craad Saint Pere, that's what it in! It is your mule Mon Dieu! What will become of us? Your mule has climbed the bell tower." "AU by herself?" "Yes, grand Saint Pere, all by her self atop! Look at her way up there! lo yon see her ears sticking out over the railling? Why they look like two swallows! ".Mercy on me!" said the poor pope. lifting up his eyes. "But she must be mud! and she will kill herself. Come down now, you wretched creature!" Jingo! She did not ask anything iiett -r than to come down. Xhs stair way? That was out of the question; she came up that way to be sure; but the descent! Why she would break her les a hundred times over. And the poor mule was in despair, witd everything turning round and rounh as she stood on the platform, while her great eyes were swimming in her head. Then she thought of Tistet Vedine. "Ah, ruffian, if I escape from here what a kick from my heels thou shalt have to-morrow morning." This idea of the kick put a little more heart in her legs, without which she would not have been able to stay there. Final. y they came to take her down, but it was an awful affair. They were obliged to nse a jack, some cords and a litter, and you can just imagine what a humiliation it was for the mule of thu pope to see herself suspended from such a height, swung in space by her feet like a May bug on the end of a a string and all Avignon looking at her. The unbappy beast did not sleep at an that night. It seemed to her that she s constantly turninar round and round on that accursed platform, while ine langnter ot the city reached her from below. Then she thought of that infamous Tistet Vedine, and that mas terly kick of her heels. From Para ptluue they wo Id be able to see the smoke of it. Xow then, w hile they were preparing nn elegant reception for her at the stable, do you know what Tistet Vedine was doing! He descended the Bhone, singing gaiiy, on a papal galley, and went to Naples with a troop of young nobles that th - village sent every yer to the court of Queen Jane, in order to acoiure skill in diplouiacv aud other sim lar accomplishments. i islet was not noble; but the pope wi hod to recompense him for the kindness bestowed upon his beast, and particularly for the activity he had dis played during t''e day of her salvage. It was the mule that was disannointed on the morrow. "Ah? the ruth an 1 He suspected something!" she thought, shaking her belis furiously; "but it will keep. Go. you wicked fellow 1 Thou shalt find it . gain ou thy return, the kick of my heels I will keep it for thee!" And che kept it for him. Afier Tistet's d parture, the pope's mule found her life's routine tranqnil and her days proceeding just as they dhl before Tistet's advent. No more lniquet, no more Ueluqnet at the stable. The beautiful days of the wine a la francaine had returned, and with them her good humor, her Ion.; siestas and the little steps of the dance when she pMSsed over the bridge at Avignon. However, since her adventure, she al ways m tced a little coldness among tne people. There were whisperings along the road, the old folks nodded tieir heads in a knowing way and the children pointed BP to the be II tow.. The good pope no longer had so mnch confidence in his friend, ad when he adowed himself to take a little nap in the saddle on Sunday, when returning from the vineyardhe always appeared to first make this mental observation, "if 1 find myself, on waking, np there on the platform " The mu:e noticed this, and it caused her pain, although she said nothing; only when anyone prononnced the name of Tistet Vedine in her presence her long ears shook, and, with a little laugh, she whetted her iron shoes on the pavement. Seven years passed thus. Then at the end of these years Tistet Vedine re turned from the court ot Naples. His term had net yet expired there, but he had learned the first mustard-maker to the pope had died suddenly at Avig non, and, as the position seemed to hiui good, he came in great haste to put himself in the ranks. When this intriguer, Vedine, entered the hall of the palace, tho holy father hardly recognized him, for he had grown so much taller aud stouter. 1 should also say that the good pope was getting old, too, and that ho did not see well without his spectacles. But Tistet was not dismayed. "How, grand Saint Pere! Yon do not recognize me? It is I, Tistet Vedine."' "Vedine?" "Why, yes; yoa know me well; him who used to carry the wine a la frar calse to your mule." "Ah ! yes, yes. I recall him a good little fellow, this Tistet Vedine. And now what does he wish of us?" "Net mnch, grand baint Pere, I come to ask yon apropos, have you your mule yet? And is she very well? Ah! so much the better! 1 came to ask yoa for the place of the first mustard maker, who has just died." "First mustard-maker thou! But thou art too young! How old art thou now?" "Twenty years and two months illns trions pontiff just five years older than your mnle. Ah! palme de Dieu! The brave beast! If yon knew how 1 love her, that mule, how I languished for her in Italy. Will you not let me see her?" "If, my child, thou wish to see her," said the good pope, very mnch moved, "and then thou lovest her so much, the brave beast. I only wish that thou couldst no longer live away from her. From this day 1 attach thee to my per son in quality of tho first mustard maker. My cardinals will object but so mnch the worse! I am accustomed to it. Come to see us to-morrow after vespers and we will give to thee insig nia of thy rank in the presence of our chapter, and then I shall lead thee to see the mule, and thou shalt go to the vineyard with us too. Ha, ha! A lions va." It Tistet was happy on leaving the grand hall of state, with what impa tience he awaited the ceremonies of the morrow I need not taite the trouble to tell you. However, there was some one in the palace still more happy and more impatient than he. 1'. was the male. From the time of Vedine's re turn until vespers the next day the in furiated beast did not cease slutliing herself with oats, and to sharpen her hind hoofs against the wall. She also wai preparing for the ceremony. And then the next day, when vespers were over, Tistet Vedine entered tho great court of the papal palace. All the higher clergy were there the car dinals in red robes.tho devil's advocates in black velvet.the abbes of the convent with their little mitres, the wardens of Saint Agricol, the violet cassocks of the bishops, the lower clergy also, the soldiers of the pope in their best uni forms, the three brotherhoods of peni tents, the hermits of Mount Ventoux with their bash ml faces, the little acolyte who went behind carrying a bell, the scourging brothers nude to the waist, the sacristans decked out in magistrates's robes all, all, until at last those who sprinkled the holy water and those who lighted and extinguished the candles. Not oue was missing. Ah! what a beautiful ordination. The bells, the petards, the sunlight, the music, and always the sound of those maddening tambouriues that led the dance below on the bridge of Avignon. When Vedine appeared before the as sembly with his fine carriage and hand some face, a murmur of admiration arose. He was a m.ignificent proveu cal, but of the blonde type, with a mass of curly hair and a little beard, which seemed to be made from fine metal shavings fallen from the graver of his father, ttie sculptor in gold. The rumor ran that the fingers of Queen Jane had sometimes played in that tdonde lxard, and Vedine had in deed that glorious and absent-minded way of men whom queens have loved. This day, in honor of his conntry he had replaced his Neapolitan robes by a jacket bordered in pink a la proven cale, and on his hat waved a large plume of the ibis of Camargne. Upon entering, the first mustard maker bowed with a gallant air, then turned toward the high flight of steps where the pope awa ted him in order to betow upon him the insignia of his rank the spoon of yellow boxwood and the saffron robe. The mnle was at the foot of the stairs all harnessed and ready to start out for the vineyard. When he passed near her, Tiste' Vedine smiled sweetly, and stopped to give herjwo or three little friendly taps on the lack watching, the while, from the corner of his eye to see if the pope noticed it. The position was good. The male prepared for the attack. "Stop! Now you've pot it, villain! And I've kept it for you seven long years!" And she gave him a kick of her heels so terrible, no terrible that at Pampe lnn even they aw the smoke, a whirl wind of blonde smoke with an ibis plume fluttering about it all that re mained of the unfortunate Tistet Ve dine. The kick of a mnle is not ordinarily as terrible as this one was, but this mule was a papal mnle, and then, just think! she had kept it for seven years. SprincJicld lCtpublicnu.
