Those who marry for physical charac-

There are some human tongues which

Heaven's gates are wide enough fo

Shame does not consist in baving

It may be slightly Hiberman, but it

the gossip does not.

A Glove.
Ah, yesterday I found a glove
Grown shabby, full of tiny rips,
But dear to me because my love
Once through it thrust her finger-tips.
A glove one would not care to see
Upon his arm in public street;
Yot here I own there is for me
No relie in the world more sweet,
A faint, far scent of lavender
Stea:s from it, as the clover smelt,
When through the fields I walked with her
And plucked the blossoms for her belt.
Faith! but I loved thelittle hand,
That used to wear this time-stained
thing!
Its slightest gesture of command
Would set my glad heart fluttering.
Or if it vouched my finger, so,
Or smoothed my hair—why
speak
Of those old days? It makes, you know,
The tears brim over on my cheek.
1
should
Poor stained, worn-out, long-wristed glove!
I think it almost understands
That reverently and with love
I hold it in my trembling hand
And that it is so dear to me,
With its old fragrance, fairand faint,
Because my mother wore if, she
On earth my love, in heaven my saint.

Leonce de Verdun was a delightful

trimmed, a coat cnt in the latest style,
an mmeome of fifteen thousand francs, a
law licentiate’s diploma in a drawer,
plenty of wit, much self-assurance, a

always enough.
Man is an animal that caonot long be
left in safety without occupation, the
growth of his fallow nature is apt to

It is not until the flower has fallen off

life, it is when the romance is past that
the practical usefulness begins,
Look out for a people entirely devoid

Without trial you cannot guess at

Men are like an old-fashioned country

and rescued him from his heaviest
monotony, that of living by himself.
He found the unexpected, which is
even more difficult to discover than the
absoluts,
He was mechanically following the
when he heard two full, joyous, amusing
voices, He saw before him two round,
solid men, with happy faces. From
the conversation he soon learned that
they ware provincials, Happy men!
How they did enjoy themselves, and
everything and everybody! And what
plans they were making! For that day,
the morrow, the next day, and the day
after that. They did not hope to have
time to see and do everything, but they
were going to try.
An idea flashed into Leonce's mind
like lightning. = “I do not know what
to do,” he thought; “I will do just
what these men do,
interesting.
and will be the voluntary slave of two
men who do not suspect their power.”
Leonce did as he proposed, and at the
end of the day he was surprised to find
that he really enjoyed himself. He had
been born a host of tiungs of whose ex-
isiotice he bad never dreamed,
This day having proved one of Lhe
most agreeable in his life. Leonce
resolved to repeat the same method of
procedure as often as possible. Every
morning about nine o'clock he went to
lounge on the Rue de Rivoli, and as
soon a8 he saw a provincial of attractive
appearance he gave the direction of his
life for that day into his hands,
We must acknowledge that Leonce
soon preferred the ladies to the gentie-
men; because, to be sure, the lady
brought him more amusement than the
gentleman. The woman is immensely
supenor in imagination; her caprices
have infinite variety; the unexpected
has a larger part in her existence; she
must see everything, and nothing
fatigues her; she is enterprising, inge-
nious, curious; in short, she is a
woman,
Leonce, then, preferred for his pur.
poses, families in which there were
women,
One morning he had good fortune at
the very outset, He saw a man about
sixty years old, square built, rubicund,
and wrapped in an ample cloak; on his
arm leaned a woman of fifty, tall and
thin, with a remnant of beauty.
“M. Dulaurier,” said she, with not
the least caution not to be beard by the
passers, ‘we can truly say that we
have a beautiful sight before us.”
“You are right a thousand times,
Madame Dulaurier! Dut there are
the girls far in advance of us!”
“Louise! Louisette!" called Madame
though ehe wore an ill-made dress,
She had small feet, and her long,
slender hands sought the green ribbons
of her hat with a gesture instinctively
coquettish, which did not escape
Leonce’s all-seeing Parisian eyes. He
thought her charming, but awkward,
and he began to follow the four with a
special attention.
About ten o'clock they all entered a
cafe for breakfast, and Leonce took a
a seat at the table near, so as to face
Louisette, In a few moments he risked
a glance at the young lady, who did not
turn away her eyes. He attempted

possible into his eyes; but this time the
girl blushed slightly, leaned to speak to
her mother, and did not look up again.

*“It 1s very good,” sald Leonce to
himself. “I never expressed a note
more suitably, Now the question is
how to convey it to my lady. The
simplest way is the best, of course, I'll
put it under the door into her room.
But where is her room? That is the
question,”
He then began to smoke a cigar, at-
tentive, however, to every sound in the
