HE HASJUT ME.
One bright evening two men were
seen walking on the outskirts of Taris.
One carried a pickaxe and the other
a gun. A large spaniel followed, ap
parently weary with the day's duties.
As they walked gently along, tno me"
conversed earnestly.
I tell vou Jeanette will marry
Claude," said the one bearing the pick-
AX9.
"And I bet you she will marry
ierre."
"Whv. it waa but yesterday that she
anced four times with Claude."
"While to-doY she gsnieted the
choicest flowers for Pierre." -
"You are very obstinate, Andre.
"Not more than vou. Father Si
mon." responded the young man. ,"Of
one thing, however, I am very certain.
The girl will never murr? Jean."
"There 1 think" Y are rigni. auo
Ind is not handsome, and inclined to
be stupid," responded pI4 Simon, sad-.
"Well, she must soon decide," con
tinued Andre. "She is now nearly
eighteen, economical, careful aud pret
ty ; a treasure for any man."
That is so, and 1 wisn i was a
younger roan, that I might swell the
list of her admirers ; who knows but I
could have a chance?"
They were at his instant interrupted
bv a Dure and lovely voice singing a
gay song, and, looking ur, tho t'.fo
meu saw the subject of their jone:sa
tion busy gathering a bunch of wild
flowers.
"Whv. Jeanette. when one speak3 of
the angels their song is heard, ex
claimed the old man.
"Were vou speaking of me, Father
Simon ?" she inquired, artlessly.
Who else could occupy my
thoughts?"
"Come, tell me what you were say
ing," continued the girl, ns she culled
the Inst daisy in her path.
"Well, we were contending a point;
namely, the question of who you will
marry. One of us says it will be
Pierre."
"Yes? And the other?"
"That votir choice will fall upon
Claude."
Which of us is right, Jeanette?
inquired Andre.
"Who knows?" she replied, with a
merry laush; as, placing the flowers in
her apron, she ran on before, singing
the second verse of tho song their com
ing had interrupted.
"Did vou see how 6he smiled when
you mentioned Tierre?" inquired Fa
tlier bimon.
Notwithstanding-, I still adhere to
the belief that she will marry Claude
Shnll we bet?" said Andre.
As you will. Suppose we say a good
dinner?"
And so it was arranged, as they
shook hands and turned towards the
village.
Jeanette. the subject of their dis
pute, was an orphan ; her mother bad
died in giving her birth, and her fa
ther had sacrificed bis lite in the ettort
to save some friends from the flames
of aiurning village.
"Should I die he said to those
surrounding him, "I bequeath you my
child."
The poor fellow, by his bravery,
succeeded not only in saving his
friends, but in arresting the flames ;
he, however, fell a victim. The fami
lies saved from ruin accepted the lega
cy. The curate educated the little
girl, and it was agreed that she should
pass one month of each year with
twelve of the families who were best
able to extend hospitality. When she
had reached her fifteenth year, it was
determined that a dot or marriage por
tion should be given her. The poor
could contribute only eggs, chickens,
and other matters, while those on
whom fortune bad smiled gave liber
ally. Jeanette talked and laughed with
Claude aud Pierre, but no one eould
discover that she evinced any prefer
ence. It might have been a matter of some
surpriso that she had three decided as-
Fiirants, had the reason not been eosi
y explained.
One uight, two years before the story
opened, Jeanette was suddenly seized
with illness; the physician was many
miles off and the night so fearfully
stormy and dark that it was almost
impossible to leave the house, lie-
gardloss of all risks, Jean started at
once, but had gone but a snort dis
tance when his usual ill-luck befell
him; his horse stumbled and threw
him. thus dislocating his ankle. Pierre
then set out, and Claude attended the
sick girl.
Early iu the morning Jeanette re
vived, and was pronouueed out of dan
ger. Poor Jean, notwithstanding his
own intolerable suffering, had remain
ed at the foot of her bed during the
entire night. On learning that the
danger was passed, be fainted. On the
following day Jeanette vowed to mar

ry one of the three who bad evinced
such friendship fos her.
Some days after a ball was given to
celebrate her recovery. She looked
the very picture of happiness and
beauty, and was, of course, attended
by her throe lovers.
Towards tho close of the entertain
ment the trio, by appointment, met iu
a secluded spot, having decided to
come to some determination regarding
their hopes ot becoming the husband
of Jeanette.
"This must end," said Pierre, "for
we nil love the girl.
"True," responded Claude.
Jean was silent and sad.
"Have you nothing to say?"
"Yes,"-' replied Jean ; "I have ft
proposition to make."
What is it?"
"Jeanette, you know, can marry but
one of us.
"No one will be fool enough-to dis
pute that fact," said Claude.
'There aro two too many in tne
field ; let us fight, and whoever is vic
torious shall claim her as fairly his."
"I have something else to suggest,
said Pierre. "Let ns play for her.and
the game decide her choico. Are you
both willing?"
"The result will be the same to me,
no matter what we do, replied
Boileau ; "as, no matter what course is
taken. I must lose. I, however, prefer
a ficht. because I have the chance of
being killed, which is preferable to
lifo without the woman Hove."
"Well, let us draw ; fato shall de
cide." replied Claude.
A cent was thrown into the air, and
the decision made that they should
ficht.
The following day the three rivals
met in the ceinctry, the place appoint
ed for the combat. Hie proper pre
liminaries were observed, and the bat
tie about to commence in good earn
est, when Jeanette suddenly appeared.
Her cheeks were pale and stained with
tears. "I know all," she said, "and
there must be an end to this strife."
"And so there will be, if you will
let us alone for about an hour," ex
claimed Pierre, provoked at tho inter
ruption. "Hold your tongue. When I choose
to have the matter eud it will do so,
and not until then," responded Jean
ette. "How could you give me so
much trouble? So you were going to
fight, and perhaps k,ill each other, in
order to gain my favor? Foolish fel
lows, not in remember that had one of
you been Bparea, ne wouia nave oeeu
hateful to me, owing to the loss of the
others."
"I did not think of that," said
Pierre.
"Woman-like, I would have dearly
loved tho dead or wounded," continued
Jeanette. "and Your trouble, if victo
rious, would have been lor nothing
"but a frown."
Jean sidicd, and regretted silently
not to be either dead or wounded.
"Tho matter can be amicably set
tled," added the young girl ; but first
I must receive your promise to do just
as I bid you." '
A unanimous promise was instantly
given, ana jeanette reeumeu :
"1 love you all now as inoiigii you
were niv b'rotheis ; but the day in all
probability will come, when I wil.
choose one of you for my husband. In
order to decide the question, you must
each leave the village and remain
away three years. On your return,
you will tell rao in what manner you
occupied vour time during your ab
sence. ' He who loves me best and
merits me the most, I will accept will
marrv. Now let us shake hands and
part."
And so it was arranged, the un
derstanding being concluded, the three
faithful subjects conducted their queen
to her cottage, and there bade lare
well. It was a bright summer morning
when the friends set out on their jour
ney, determined to abide by the prom
ise fuithfully pledged.
The curate, who had known them
from their birth, celebrated mass for
the benefit of their souls ; and the
whole village bade them God-speed
After tho departure of the three
vouug men, Jeanette lived as she had
always done, rising with the sun, sing'
ing with tbe birds, gathering the sweet
est flowers, doing good to all, particu
larly the poor, and toiling faithfully
to add to her lit'.le stoie. At times
tho shadow of a faint cloud would
gather upon her fresh young face, and
she seemed absorbed by some secret
thought.
"She is thinking of Pierre,'
mur
mured old Father Simon, her neigh
bor: but sometimes Andre contested
the point, deeming Claude the subject
of her thoughts. JNo one rueuuoneu
poor Jean, or if they did, it was to
quote bis usual ill-luck and want of
success.

adorned with flowers, which weie the
young girl's peace-oficring. The three
vears had almost expired, and the
travelers were hourly expecteti.
I am sure Pierre ha become a
great man." said old Simon.
And Ulaude a miiionaire, respouu-
ed his friend Andre.
One day, Quito in the middleof sum
mcr. three travelogs stopped at the on
lv inn the village contained. The first
arrived in a carriage, the second on
horseback, and the third on foot. The
first was followed by a servant, the
second wore the uniform of a "cb&s
seur d'Afrique,"and sported epnulcttes
nd a cross, but as to the third, he an
Deared noor. and his garments were
threadbare. They were tho three old
friends, Claude, Pierr, and Jean. The
news of their arrival soon spread, and
the population, en matse; turned out to
welcome them. Claude's carriage was
much admired. Pierre s uniform pro
nounced magnificent. As to Jean, no
cne paid him the slightest attention,
for it was easy to see that travel v had
been to him ot small proht.
Jeanette arrived, as rosy as a cherry,
and looking more beautiiul than ever.
"The three years have now elapsed,"
said Tierre, "and we have returned,
hoping you have not forgotten your
promise, dearest Jeanette.
"I remember, and will keep ray
word." resflonded the girl
Jaan raised his eyes timidly, look
in at Jeanette and then upon Pierre,
who seemed radiant with the hopo of
conauest.
"All must promise to bear no enmi

Jeanette.
Good !'I promise for myself and the
rest, replied rierre, twisting nis nious

"I mu9t now hear the experience of

Claude. "I had but a few hundred

"Jean, have you nothing to tell?
Questioned Jeanette.
' My story is neither long nor cheer

"I was not happy before I left this
village, neither have I been so since,
At first I tried to work ; invested the

The next day tho village appeared
like a great festival. All were abroad,

and self possessed ; Jean, sad aud

THE THIEF'S! VICTOIt V.
A good many years ago, one of tho
most notorious thieves in the Unite!
States, had a confidential conversation
with a gentleman who is now one ot.
our most efficient detectives, and ex-
pressed a desire to reform. "Why do
vou wish so roucn to live on tue
square?" asked the gentleman. ''Be
cause," replied tho thief, "I have a
wife and children to whom I am very
much attached they have no idea of
tho mode in which I make my living;
the children are growing up, and are
begiuniug to wonder why I leave homo
o often and what I do ; and if I , am
ever to reform, now is the time." The
gentleman warmly approved the idea,
and to further it. loaiied the man sev
eral hundred dollars with which to be
gin an honest business. The reformed
man at once broke off all his old asso
ciations, lived a perfectly honest life,
would have no dishonest persons call
on him, devoted himself for yeara
closely to business, raised his family
respectably, did a good many acts of
unostentatious charity, and died not
long since esteemed by all who knew
him. His children are doing well and
highly respectable. The money ad
vanced was long since repaid.
Mr. Higgins was a very punctual
man in ail ins transactions tnrougn

He gave a list of six, the usual

on his pillow. A gleam of thought
passed over his withered face like a ray
of light, and he rallied once more.
"My son, read me that list. Is tno
name of Mr. Wiggins there?"
"It is, my father.
"Then strike it off!" said ho, em
phatically, "for he was never any

An Essex (Conn.) man made a toy
boat about five inches long and an
inch and a half wide, with all the
rigging, and having attached to it a
small American flag, suspended it with
a hair from his own head by a nail in
the ceiling of his shop, twenty years
ago, and there is has hung all this
time in spite of the jar of the shop.
Don't be stubborn unless you are
sure you can afford it. Right in tho
midst of the late panic, an Iowa man
chose to be perversely obstinate. His
daughter wanted a 890 silk dress, and
be wouldn't get it, and he lo&t $G0 by
the operation. She took cold poison,
and the funeral expenses were 8150.
In England a poor curate, unable to
live on his salary, supported himself
by repairing watches. Thi8 was re
ported to the Bishop as a dixgrace to
the cloth. "This must be put a stop
to," said the Bshop, indignantly, and
he stopped it by giviug the curate a
place worth $2,000 a year.
