A COQUETTE'S LESSON.
Several years ago there lived in Paris a
woman whose beauty had won the moat
boundless admiration from all, whose
charm of manner and many fascinations
had gained the most enthusiastic devotion
and been the cause of the, moat romantic
deedicand whose coldness of heart made
her a wonder and a mystery to all. She
had appeared suddenly upon the surface
of Parisian society, no one knew how, no
one knew whence. But though no one
knew anything about her, she bad sur
prised them into approval of her, and
every one received her unhesitatingly.
Her name was d' Anvers but every one
called her "Madame," because no one
knew whether she was wife, widow, or
quid. Madame was tray beautiful, and
possessed' that ineipre - fslble charm of man
ner for which there are no words of de-
scription ; that fascination about her
whole being so dear and beautiful in a
woman, so fatal in a wicked one.
Qi Madame was thoroughly selfish. She bad
made up her mind to have but one aim
in life • her own ease and enjoyment. She
resolved to do or permit nothing from
others which interferred in the slightest
degree with her own comfort. Thus had
she deceived so many. Her lovers were
endless in number, Madame was virtuous.
It was pleasant to have some one always
thinking of her; always anticipating her
wishes; some one to bring beautiful bou
quets; some one to take her everywhere
she desired to go, and take her to a splen
ded supper afterwards. Some one to bring
her every new book, every new piece of
music, and some one whom she could
make a lackey of when she had any com
missions to be done. This was Madame's
idea and many bad she victimized, en
couraging and leading them on until they
approached the subject. of marriage, and
ventured to hope their suit was not in
vain. Each one Who was foolish enough
to commit himself thus, lost even the
pleasure of her society . forever, and was
dismissed, and she went on to: the next
who eventually shared the same fate.
Whatever might be said of Madame's
want of heart, not one word against her
virtue had ever been breathed. In this
respect she thoroughly respected herself,
and thus compelled her victims to respect
her. It is strange how perverse human
nature is! The very faults they despised
in her, the very danger of her presence,
seemed to lure men On more than ever.
No one had ever made such a sensation
in Paris; but of course at last ber con-
duct began to excite indignation. She
had been the cause of the ruin and death
of more than one man whose heart beat
high with the hopes and joys of youth.
in M.
on bee account. M. dell=--,
young, rich, of high family, and with the
prospect of a brilliant marriage before
him, had poisoned himself for love of her;
and another, a mere boy, proud and sen
sitive, after lavishing his sours best feel
ings upon her in vain, absolutely died of
grief at her rejection.
When told of the feelings such things
bad created against her, she laughed and
said :
"Well, why are they such fools ? lam
not going to be held responsible for the
stupid acts of others. They have eyes
and can see. Why do they not use their
eyes ? Ido not compel them to love me,
'or ask them to run after me as they do,
and if they do it they must take and bear
the consequences..
Madame's latest victim was the Mar
quis de Lespierre, who, older than her
other suitors, bad formed for her a more
serious, profound and enduring love ; but
not content with the privilege of her so
ciety and the exclusive permission to be
her escort on all occasions, had the mis
fortune to ask her to become his wife.
This sealed his doom. Disappointed and
heart-broken, he left her presence a sad
and aged man, never more to appear upon
the world's gay scene, and ever to shun
thenceforth the society of women.
It was difficult to tell Madame's age.
She was nearly forty, but appeared any
age between twenty and thirty-five. Nev
er yet hail that strange cold heart been
warmed into anything like love. She was
a wonder and a mystery to all, for she had
seemed to love so many whom she had in
every way encouraged. Yet why had she
never married ?
Just at this time appeared upon the
scene a new admirer. This was M. Victor
de RousseL He was a man of about for
ty, handsome, rich, intellectual and very
dignified in his manner. Sometimes there
was a stern, uncompromising look upon
his face. Such a look did he fiz upon
Madame as he saw her for the first time.
For the first time in her life Madame's
face flushed under the gaze of a man, and
a strange tremor thrilled her from head to
foot.. M. de Roussel was mentially differ
ent from any man she had met before.
[ All others had yielded to her spell at once,
or if they made a faint effort to resist, it
was soon abandoned. She had been ee
-1 eitstomed to see all men bow to her as
willing, unquestionable, unresisting4daves.
i Not so, M. de Roussel. lie could not but
admire her beauty, but after that a quiet
look of scorn settled upon his face as the
result of his scrutity. It surprised her
and made her indignant; but he interest=
ed her more than the mostenthusiastic of
her lovers had ever done. Madame met
M. de. Roussel frequently in society. She
felt piqued by his indifference, for he had
asked permission to call upon her, and
had never availed himself of it There
was design in this avoidance of her which
she little suspected.
Made Roussel had heard of her; he had
known 3L de Les!pierre, and his whole na
ture revolted against a woman who could
make a wreck of each a man. He had
asked himself, what right had this wo
man to go on causing ruin and misery to
others and never suffering herself ? Why
should she not be taught a lesson that
would effeetuallycure her, and why should
he not teach that lesson ? The first step
was to gain her interest. This be did by
feigning utter indifference. He had, not
availed himselfof her permission to come
end see her _ pp purpose, and it. wee just
'lrbst be wincedwhen. one elesung she
via to hint :
'Why litive'you • not been to 'see me,
Monsieur de Houstell This is scarcely

and
.betraying um into expressing . my 1
the
pleasure at th nght of year coming.
•.Ab e m a d am e, am afratd you flatter
me. Do yon y desire me to come ? I
scarcely due ho so much."
He said the words early in an un
dertone, and the ffect of his manner up
on ter did not pc him. He saw the
coler rise in her dheeks, and the smile of
pleasure which site tried in vain to con
ceal.
"You know I desire you to come," she
said in the sametone, end then afraid of
having gone tooter, she said: "I heard
you say the other day that you were fond
of music, and enumerate all my favorite
composers as yours. We must have tastes
alike, for I love music, and will give you
plenty of it!"
"You love musie.with such a cold na
ture as yours, he vess about to add, but be
said : "Love I Did ion ever love, madame ?"
"Why I have fast told you that I love
music," She said with a forced laugh.
"I am not jesting," he said quietly; "I
mean a lean. Have you ever loved a
man r
"No, never."
"And yet you have appeared to. Yon
have led many men to think so," he said,
looking at her.
"It was their own mistake," she said.
"But you certainly encouraged them,
and if you disliked them Why did you do
this?"
"I did not dislike any of them ; on the
contrary I liked each one in turn, and al
ways regretted when they banished them
selves by asking me to marry them," she
replied while she asked herself indignant
ly, what right this man had thus to ques
tion her actions? She was angry with
him for his audacity, yet she felt herself
utterly helpless in his hands. She felt
compelled to answer him, and In answer
him truthfully.
"And why have you never made up
your mind to marry any of them ?"
"Becausel have not seen the man I
could marry.: I do not think I could ev
er experience the feelings a woman should
have toward a husband. Besides, I could
never give up my independence and free
dom as every woman must do in a more
or less degree, even in France, and with
even the most reasonable of husbands. I
could never give up my exclusive owner
ship of myself. I could enjoy the society
of men, listen to the pleasing words of
love, pleasing because they flattered, and
accept their attentions without binding
myself in any way. I have the natural
love of admiration and appropriation be
longing to my sex, and like to have some
one always near to do my bidding, and to
gratify my love of pleasure by anticipat
ing my every wish for amusement, my

sense enough to be satisfied with his po
sition, and not always desired to become
my husband. In fact, monsieur, I likes],
them all in turn, as companions, lovers,
escorts, slaves, but not to marry."
M. de Roussel looked at her for a mo
went, and then said:
"And has it never occurred to you that,
you had no rigyt, to trifle with the feel-'
tugs of others in this way? Have
. you
never thought of the misery you might
cause? That perhaps you might utterly
crush and desolate some honest heart that
loved you sincerely and earnestly !"
"These consequences were their care.
They should have guarded against them.
I do not hold • myself responsible in any
way, she said with a scornful smile.
"Did it never cross your mind that you
might possibly share the fate of your vic
tims?" he asked.
"I am not afraid'" she answered
rising to go as her carriage was an
nounced ; "I could never love any one
sufficiently to suffer."
"Do not say this,' he replied in an un
dertone, giving her his arm ; "I like to
hope that there is some one in this world
whomyou might one day love."
He felt her arm tremble, and knew she
understood him as he wished her to do.
As he handed her into the carriage, he
pressed her hand and said:
"May I ask again to come ?"
"Yes ; come to-morrow."
"I wilL"
"I shall wait for you with impatience,"
she said unguardedly.
"I will come. Goad-night."
"A demain," she said.
"A demain," be replied as he walked
away.
For the first time in her life, madame
passed a sleepless night for the sake of a
men. Thoughts of M. de Roussel haunt
ed her as no thoughts bad over °occupied
her before, and her heart beat faster as she
thought of seeing him the next day. In
the morning she arose with al:imbed face,
and looking more beautiful and interest
ing than usual from the gentle languor
produced by fatigue ? As the hour ap
proached for M. de Roussel's visit, she be
; What was this strange
emotion ? What mysterious power had
this man over her? Until now she had
always ruled, now she felt herself mas
tered: Madame knew nothing of the
simple power of love.-
In the most becoming of toilettes M.
de Roussel found madame waiting for him.'
Her heart throbbed wildly and she trem
bled so that she Could scarcely rise to greet
him, all of which M. de Roussel observed,
but of course appeared not to notice. She
was beginning to love him as he wished
she should. He.knew bow wildly, how
passionately she would love once, the ice
was broken. He took both her hands,
and stood gazing at her for a long time in
silence. Her eyes fell before his, and she
tried in vain to release herself
" You are very beautiful!" he said seri-
only.
"I have been told that very often, mon
sieur."
"Bat Ido not spealc it as others have
spoken it," he said, bending over her.
"No," she said, musingly; "you do n ot
say ordo anythingisa othera do. You are
to me very different to all others."
"ATM so L deire bey"
he said point
edly, and then fearing to go too fa at
first, he changed the subject.
m.. 40 R ouss el left her two hours Weir
in *state 44,1)400mi and, how whicb•
.was new to her. Me fire Ant abandon-
tow
arnseionaly wished that he, might _love
her, now abe hop it, and began to believe
.that he did. Many had loved her :before,
but never had it occasioned her the slight-
est emotion. Now her whole being
thrilled with joy.
Great was the surprise of the "world"
to find M. de Roussel madame's "next vie-
stim" as they supposed, for every one had
heard him express his contempt and scorn
for her, now they ridiculed him. But he
only replied: "Do not be too hasty. Wait!"
M. de Roussel now entirely monopolized
madame's society, and she was never seen
anywhere with anyone else. But &change ,
bad come over her. She had no more the
haughty, disdainful and wqttettish man
ner of former days. A subdued, calm,
happy look had settled upon her face,
lighting it np with a wonderful beauty.
All her smiles, all her dangerous little
speeches that might mean so much or so
little, were lavishod upon do Ilaueza *tune.
Months passed, and M. de Roussel held
the position toward madame that others
had held before him. He was, perhaps,
the most attentive, most devoted, most
passionate of all her lovers, yet madame
was not satisfied. A strange feeling of
dread insecurity troubled her heart. She
had never before cared. But now she
longed to have some claim upon M. de
Roussel, and she resolved when he offered
himself as her husband, as she had no
doubt he, like all the rest would do, to ac
cept him. This determination adtonished
herself. But M. do Roussel did not offer
himself. Nearly a year had passed. Would
he never speak ? His attentions and de
votions never ceased or lessened for a mo-
ment, during all this time, yet he never
asked the question that others had asked
in a few months. Perhaps he feared the
same fate, and loved her too well to risk
losing her. How was she to convince
him to the contrary ? How let him know
that he was the one dearexception ? Often
before madame had not scrupled to affect
love when no real feeling existed in her
heart; but now that it was filled with an
intense, real love, a new feeling of delica
cy, a natural, womanly shrinking, made
her timid and reserved.
Such thoughts and feelings began to
torment her. She became pale and ana
-1 ions. M. de Rottisel affected not to 1113-
derstand the cause, and added to her an
noyance by constantly asking her about it.
Another year passed. Two years! Mad
ame could scarcely endure the torture of
uncertainty and suspense any longer. Her
love for do Roussel conquered her whole
being, beyond all power of control. She
was his very slave heart and soul.
One day he came as usual, and after a
few words of greeting he said.
"Are you going to be alone ?"
"Am I not always alone, esont when
you come ?" she said, her heart the while
beating high with hope. He was going
en-navtiVattuing to say to you. a nave
come to say adieu r
"Adieu ? What do you mean ?" she ex-
I claimed, her face growing ghastly.
"I am going y
awa ."
"
But you are comin" back ? You
could not be so cruel, so "heartless as to
abandon me when yon know —"
"How much you love me, is that what
you would say e he asked, interrupting
her.
"Yes! yes !" she said, burying her face
in her hands.
"But you once said you would never
marry any man ?"
"I know I said so, but I had not met
you then. I could be your wife, Victor.,
I have never loved any one as I have loved
you."
"You speak the truth. This as it should
be," he said, angrily, seizing her hand ;
"you love me as they who came before me
loved you. You spurned them from you.
Now share their fate Suffer as you made
them suffer. Your time has come. Know
at last what it is you have been doing all
your life. Learn by your own misery the
desolation you inflicted upon others. You
had DO right to do this and your punish
ment has come."
He paused, and she sank to the floor
utterly humbled and crushed, and said in
a despairing voice :
"But I have never wronged you, Victor.
I was earnest and sincere in my love for
you. I should never have spurned you.
Even now I will be your wife.
"My wife!" he exclaimed, with scornful
emphasis ; "I am married already, and
were I not, never should you have been
my wife.- I have never loved you. I made
love a trap to catch you in, and I have
caught and conquered you, as we put out
of the way a wild animal that has been
devouring our companions. You will de
vour no more. I despise and loathe you,
and could so contemptible a being excite
so much feeling, I would add huta. I go''
now to my good, my gentle, my pure wife,
who waits for me in Italy, and I leave you
to yourself; it is the bitterest punishment
I could inflict. Profit, if you can, by the
lesson I have taught, and may it be a
warning to all coquettes and ad Yen turemea
Thanking you for your society and many
pleasant hours, and for the preference you
did me the honor to feel fur me, I leave
you forever."
Unable to speak, madame fell senseless
to the floor, where she was found several
hours later. It was many days before she
returned to consciousness; and when,'
after a long illness, she came from her
room again, she was but the wreck of her
former self. Bowed with sorrow, illness
and remorse, she seemed Iske an old wo
man. The faces and voices of those she
had wronged haunted her at all times,
and she saw their sufferihgs reflected in
her own. Then the disconnected words—
"married," "wife," "Italy"—these dread
ful words of M. de Boussel's—bad made
an indelible impression on her mind. The
world wearied her; it's sights and sounds
tortured her. Life had irecothe almost
intolerable as-it was. She longed for rest
and peace. Within a year, like Louise de
Valliere, she sought in a convent what
can be'no where, if it is not in the heart.
She is the most strict and most devout of
all the nuns. She still lives; but whether
she baa found the peace and rest she
sought, she best knows.

A strange appearing genius on his first
visit to the city, observing a sign over a
store thus:
Wholesale and Retail Store." He
worked his way through the crowd of la
dies, until he faced one of the clerks, who
was exhibiting some articles to a youn
lady, when he broke out with :
"Say, mister, who's boss here ?"
"The proprietor has just stepped out
sir?"
"Well, this is a re-tailing shop?"
"Yea sir, a wholesale and retail store."
"Guess you ttudestand your trade ?"
"Oh, yea," replied the clerk, wrapping
up a bundle for his lady customer, "what
can I do for you ?"
" Well, as the cold weather is comingon

" I don't understand you sir," replied
the clerk, who began to suspect the fellow
was in the wrong box.
" Zactly so ; well, I tell you."
"Explain what you mean my friend,"
said the clerk, as he saw him produce a
roll from under his coat.
" Well, as I said before, the cold weather
is coming on, and I thought I might as
well be Elio' for it. Came mighty timer
freezin' t'otber winter, well I did, but—"
"I hope you will tell me what you want
so that I may serve you."
" Certainly, squire, certainly, I always
do business in a hurry, and just as quick
as the old master will let. I want you to
re-tail these old shirts. Let them come
down about to the knees, kale I don't
wear drawers."
The effect may be imagined, but as
novelist say can't be described. The loud
laugh which followed, served to convince
the poor fellow ho had committed himself,
and his long legs were put in motion for
the door.

We believe it was Talleyrand who said
that "the use of words was to conceal
ideas." We were not so taught in schooli.
Our grammar used to say that words were
certams sounds used by common -consent
as sign of our ideas. Who is right, Tal
leyrund or the gratimuir ? Perhaps the
middle ground is where the truth dwells,
for certain it is that however we may
clear some of our ideas by words, others
of them are equally hidden when we come
to speak in their ° behalf. Mr. Golden
Smith objects to being called a "social
parasite" by the author os Lothair, and
he writes a hot little note which, ending
in the word "coward," applied to the nov

Does it not take some such refreshing

"Yes," overlaid with several crusts of teas

isn't it sometimes discovered to mean the
most negative kind of "No?" And, pass

Against Running Away
Old Dr. Strong. of Hartford, Conn.,
was not often outwitted by his people.
Oa one occasion, he had invited a young
minister to preach for him, who prated
rather a dull speaker, and whose sermon
was unusually long. The people became
wearied ; and, as Dr. Strong lived near
the bridge, near thn enmmPnrignent or
the aftenwon service he saw his people
flocking across the river to the other
church. He readily understood that they
feared they should have to hear the same
young man in the afternoon. Gathering
up his wits, which generally came at his
bidding, he said to the young minister,
"My brother across the river ts rather fee
ble, au& I know he will take it kindly to
have you preach to his people: and if you
will do so,I will give you a note to him,
and will eas much obliged to you as I
would to have you preach fur me. And I
want you to preach the same sermon that
you preached to my people this morning."
The young minister supposing this to be a
commendation of his sermon, started off
in good spirits, delivered his note, and
was invited to preach most cordially. He'
saw before him one-half of Dr. Strong's
people; and they had to listen one
our and a half to the same dull, hum
drum sermon that they heard in the
morning. They understood the joke, how
ever, and said they would never undertake
to run away from Strong again.

It appears that the man had died, as
was supposed from a blow. Some tendaya

pull them apart or to interfere in some
way, whereupon a Mr. Kahoe, as is said,
and as we learn from Coroner Butter

head. He was soon after taken sick and
was found dead yesterday. at 78 Market
street where he boarded.

An lowa Wonder.
A wonderful discovery has just beeii
made about six miles west of Dubuque,
lowa, which consists of a cave of immense
proportions and mag,nificentgorgeonsness
and beauty.
While mining for lead ore a Mr. Bice
made the discovery in opening a narrow
passage which he followed about seven
hundred feet, leading into a large room
connected by a narrow passage with ma
iirioiti—i thousand feet,where the cave ap
peared to terminate. '
if afterwards sunk a shaft thirty two
feet deep, intersecting the cave near its
termination, and he and his party of five
descended and entered another narrow
passage of about one hundred feet, where
it expands into a large hall, one hundred
feet long and forty or fifty feet wide, and
from ten to fifteen feet high, and colas•
mented with stalactites of great beauty;
the roof, like a miniature sky, studded
and spangled with orbs of the most bril
liant lustre, and presenting a chrystaline"
surface of exqisiteness and lustre, which
flashes by the light of the torches with
great brilliancy.
From this room the cave branches in
two directions, at an angle of about forty
five degrees, which on being traversed for
about half a mile, the explorers found ent
eral other chambers of oven greater di
mensions, and greatly exceeding the first
in beauty and interest, thanntim-iddes.
and roof being covered with snow white
stalactites and frost like encrustations Of
carbonate of lime and gypsum.
In many parts of the cave might alSo
I be seen arynite, and at distances varying
Ifrom ten to fifteen feet are remises in
walls, so large and highin some cases as
to enable them to walk about in them.
On the floors of these recesses many
stalagmites bad formed, resembling -a
huge polar bear, and other formations re•
seiubling clusters of grapes, etc.
In auGther place a hand was distinctly
traced. The water in the cave is so claw
that in places where it is tan inches deep,
it does not appear to be more than two.
The party remained in the cave about six
hours, and traveled in it about two miles.
The Horse Head Child.
In the back room of the house N 117
West twenty-seventh street, New York,
there is on exhibition a mel-formed in
fant, which is an exceptional ueuionsma ,
tion of a well known law of nature. The
child was born on the 3d of April, and
the mother is a poor German woman.
When the child was born the malfor
mation was not very distinct, but as the
infant grew older it became More appa
rent, so that now the face of the child 11,.
ry much resembles that of a horse. The
forehead of the infant is like that of other
children, but the whole form of the upper
jaw is lacking, and there is no palate or
roof to the mouth. The nasal bone and
cartilege extend down over the lower lip
and end in an oval shaped fleshy protub
erance, resembling as nearly as possible
the lip of a horse.
The child does not nurse, but requires
to be fed, and appears to be gradually
wasting away.
The father and mother of the child an
very poor, and though no fee of adlnii-
Ilion is required, yet any contri butions
from visitors are gratefully mewed. 'The
mother is 34 years of age, has been mar
ried three years, and tins is her firsteltibl.

street, and this caused her infant to be
marked in this terrible manner—Near
