The French public revenue from to baccco from 1812 to 1832 was annu ally $5,000,000, of late years it is $38,000,000. During the - former pe riod there were in Fratme at any giv en time- 8,000 lunatics and paralytics, now there. are 44,000. It will be seen that the two totals increase in nearly an even ratio--eix mate half times as much tsbacco;five and a half times as mach lunacy and paralysis. Those who live out doors may use tobacco without feeling it so much ; but not men of sedentary life. There have died in New York within a few years three 'excellent clergy. men, all of whom' would now he alive had that not used tobacco. The diff erence in the' operation of tobacco and slchohol is this, while alehohol causes tangible changes. in certain organs, tobacco gradually lowers the vital tone of the whole astem,so.that the life ends igeoner than it ought to.

The church was rebuilt ant the-huts in the hollow had been burnt. A factory had-risen,and the factory people's houses ' were about it. Instead of the old- frame school house was - a brick building with many windows' and a cupola. Who was the tencher? Waa she there—Hepsey Harrow. ? I-Zated 'riot ask._ - Idly I sauntered abut - the house, painted and refurnished now ; and idly in the evening of my second-day at home,l went out to the shed where the little red sleigh stood —the shab by old thing, with a gr een patch on the cushions. . .1 "It ain't been touched since )you left, Almon," said my-mother. "Poor old Dobbin 1 How smart he used - to j take it•round I I felt as if Pd lost a friend when he died. .Remember my ' patching the cushon 7" - • She lifted it as she spoke. From be. hind it dropped something. What? Of leather, blue_ with mold, crushed bY its long lying under the cushion, but a reticule for all that. Hepsey Harrow's reticulel opened it. There' lay a comb and brush ;'an artificial rose—how well I remember it in her hair I—and my letter. Yes, my letter, that she had never read, never seen, never known of. 41 What's the•matter, Almon?" ask ed my mother. "It. is Miss Harrow's retieuld" . ' must have lost it "when ybu took- her a sleigh riding," said wy mother. "Just . like her, to lose it and nut know, extravagant critter. She's. teaching yet; like teri—she ain't mar ried ; no' doubt she'll be an -old maid ; and serve her - right." The rest my mother said to herself for I waited for no more. hook the reticule in my hand, and 'went over to the long forgotten path toward the school house. School was over. A figure stood alono near the gate. I did not know it at first. But on a nearer view I found it was a more 'mature edition of Hepsey Har row's slender frame—not so slender nolgbut pretty—just as pretty in the 'face, and fresh and buxom. I walked up to her. , She gave me 'a puzzled look. Then her cheek flush ed. "Mr. Craig ?" she- said. - " Yes, Miss Harrow," I answered, - " I am hero to restore your property. You• hist a reticule in my sleigh five Tears ago. Today I found it. There. is something hilt which I asked you to look' at, when you were alone. I make the same request now. May I see you this. evening ?" She bowed. , I walked away. That evening I went' once ,more to see her. She had been weepin g; the letter lay upon her knee. . , " Such as odd relicOf those foolish old times," she said. 'I took her hand. - - "You never aniswered it Ilepsey," I said. " Will you answer it now ?" "'lifter all this time ?" she asked. • " Yes,n I said. She said nothing and I kissed her. Our weddding was a quiet one,and outlives have been quietly happy from that day to the present hour.
