de "Dierisi, imm4diatet7sifter bia arrival,
went to see Darla to enlists a coupe.
"After the lama salutations, the fol
lowing dialogue began:,
'Well, Darley, I want a handsome
,
coupe, with one horse; now how much
will it be?'
'What will the amount of *work be,

'Oh. nut very . mti*,. neireir Wittltrit

Darley' reflectively scratched his

I •
'Well, how much a month do you
want for it?'
'Hum—let me see. For a new coupe
and a good liorse, in May, the busiest
month—seven hundred and fifty banes
is eheap.' j
'What! from 5 o'clock to midnight,
or 1 O'clock in the morning?' -
'Yon mit remember that during the ,
remainder of the tithe I can't use either
the Coupe or the Xopue.'
'Well, let us arty seven hnndred

work.' •
'4ll right,' grumbled Darley. 'Same
place, I suppose?.
'Yea'
_'Well, I'll send it round to-morrow.'
An boar later Darley roceived with
the utmost respect, anotner important
customer, Madame de Belro,y.
'Well,, madame, whet can I do for
you? Carrriage, eh? Well, let me re
commend a laudau—in that madame's
toilet can be seen to the best advan

'No, sir; as you see ram yet in

'Bat Madame will pardon me if I say
that in a coupe her beauty --'
'No, Monsier Parley, I am a widow
and I liveretired. I want a carriage

a coupe will do we— a simple - coupe

1 'That depends upon the work.'
'Oh, it will not be much. At 9

'Come; :madame, ;:I have something ,

'Yon tempt me; Well, be it so.
Send it around to-Morrow morning,'
And so it - bapperied •that Monsieur de
Merisi and Madame de Belroy bad the
same coupe by the i month.
* * ;*- *
T he gentlemen found this Fout very
soon. One daY he saw in one of the
coupe pockets note book, with gray
enameled cover and gold border, in
which were severalcards. On the back
of some of these s were metnoranda,
such as calls to be made, impressions,
reflections, etc) He examined a Card
and read on one side:
MADAKEDs BEISOY.
On the other side, in a delicate fem
inine handwriting, were these pencilled
lines:
After Mass to the Bitters.
Then to the Mission for the Poor.
At half-past 12, uly lawyer.
Then to the cemetery.
Then to St, Thomas church.
At! o'clock see -grandmamma.
At o'clock. Julius.
No I fed that he is mine. -
The coupe stopped at the club.
'She must be a saint,' thought
?aerial; 'but whO is this Julius?'
Re replaced the note-book where be
bad found it, and, alighting, said to the
coachman:
'Some one left. a) : note book in the
coupe. Consequently some one must
have used it.' -
The . coachman's, onnfasion showed
Metisi that ho was not mistaken. The
name of Madame•. de Being Ins not
unknown to him,.but he had lived so
long away from Paris 'that' he couldn't
iemember Who she was. As soon as be
had entered the club room he sought
for information. ' .
'Do Bassin;' said he, 'do you knew
a Madame de Belroy!
'Yes,' replied tbat gentleman, 'she
that was little De St: Saone, Poor
Bebop died last year, and she is plug-•
ad in grief. ilt was a great lose.'
• 'Who? Belroyr
'No, his wife, who is charmingbut is
always invisible. Society 'sees her no
more.'
Marisi now waited anxiously for
another find in the coupe. But, alas!
for a whole week neither note-book nor
anything else was forgotten But the
little 'saint.' who spent hei time l i eo
piously, occupied his rebid incessantly.
So he said one evening to the coluds-
'I have discovered that my coupe is
also used by a Madame de Belroy. Do
not deny it. I am sure. 'Now. lam
curie= to see this lady. Tell me where
I might do so.' •
kWell. air. every morning at 9 o'clock
I take her to,rizass at the church of St.
l'bilippe.' -
Next morning Monsieur de .Merisi
Was punctuaL and saw bii - saint at her
devotions. It 'seemed to him tha — t !Met
before hid he seen, snob a lovely face.
She was stilt, n mourning. She wore a
small bona i# of black tulle,. which
framed her 1(44 blonde hair; a long
veil of blaok l gsuze hung down on the
train of her dress, which was of deed
black silt. trimmed with black sursh.
In her black-gloved hands were a mis
sal of saints' pictures and ilinminated
texts.
Meriai paid little attention to the
ma& _
'atth„' though! he, 'lf I had known
there was on earth each* woman ..-
beautiful, young, modest and shunning
society, oh! I would have adored her.
How gracefully she makes the signs of
the cross. She is a litte saint. Bat
that ;Julins--who tho dance can, he be?'
From this moment Monsieur de
Merisi hung uponher *tsp. He saw
her every morning itt, the ohureirof BF.

Her route was nearly alw!iys the same:
To her grandmother's,' 'to the parish

.
At hilt De Merisi came to the conclu
sion that he was a fool. He was occu
pied with Madame de Belroy to such a
degree.that he neglected for her sake
the affaira for' which he had dome to
Paris. There was only one thing to be
done—to ask p..rtniiasiOn to be present
ed to her, and to pay hi l s addresses to
her. His state of mind Imo; becoming
intolerable. Bo one diii . lo the olnb he
said to Monsietii deNilleParte who waa.
nicknamed the 'Elite Diriietory.' -
'Do you know the . Bekey family,

`Very well, indeed; but there's not
Many left—only the grandmother And
'Gould you present me?'
'Hum--not easily; the grandmother
is eighty years old; the young widow is
nearly always in the country and lives
very retired since the death of her hus
band.'
'Come, now, as a great favor_to me.'
1•11 see.
'But at once, because I'm going
away.'
'Well, I'll go to-morrow and see the
grandmother.' •
tr 'Are you acquainted with the young
widow, too?'
'Known her ever since she was born,
my dear boy; a handsome, distin
guished and graceful woman.'
*And she is—hum—hum—never been
any scandal about her, has thrire_f.'
Villeparte arose with such precipita
tion that he overturned his chair.
'What do you mean?' he roared.
'Madame de Belroy 1 Why not a whis
per has been heard—'
Outwardly discomfited. but inwardly
rdjoicing, Merisi abased himself before
his indignant friend, and finally suc
ceeded in making his peace.
The next morning he again followed
theh chaiming widow, who spent her
time as usual. The stay which she
mkt at the Boateyard_l3L. Michel.
however, seemed to him a little longer
than -usual. And it seemed to him,
when she came out, that her toilet was
a little disarranged. Her hair was dis
heveled, •her bat awry, and her collar
rumpled. But after some moments of
jealous rage, the answer of Monsieur
de Villeparte came to his mind, and he
quickly repented of his distrust.
The grandmother had ' been very
amiable and bad given.: Monsieur de
Villeparte permission to present his
friend. Tins was soon done, and Mon
sieur de Merisi fell deeper in love than
before, if it were possible. The old
lady befriended-him, tog. He was her
partner at the card table, and need to
read to her newspapers and the newest
of novels. He was a clever fellow, was
De M.erisi.
But he was a suspicious fellow too,
and be had retained' the coupe, hoping
again to find ';thp note which • had
deeply tuteraittgd him. 'Julius' stuck
in his memo?* But 'his researches
were far from successful. Being more
and more captivated by Madame de
Balmy. he at last 'dared to declare his
intentions, and was strongly supported
by the• grandmother. Madame do BAT
roy did not say 'No,' and so the en
gagement began.
One day De Monsi leaped into his
coupe to make a purchase required by
his new situation—au engagement ring
of fabulous value and exquisite taste.
The gray note book was there. He
opened, it. The memoranda had
changed very little: -
'The lawyer's; the priest's; the milli
ner's; flowers; bring Julian his shako.'
A shako! Not one of the friends of
the Belroy family was in the' army;
what could it mean? With feverish
baste he turned the card over. Max!
he found too easily the meaning.
'He looks .adorable with his new
shako. How silly .1 am! He would not
leave my. room last- night, and I pre
tended to be angry?'
Tingling with jealous rage and shame,
Merisi ordered the . coachman to drive
him immediately to Madame de Bel
roy's hone. She was waiting for him
at her window. -
'Why, how funny she exclaimed,
'you are in my coupe. Mogi did it
happen, and what does it 'mean?'
Merisi was deadly pale, so angered
litlut he. He choked with rage as he
endeavored to find words to upbraid
her. -
* *
Suddenly an unexpected visitor made
his appearince. It was a little boy.
four or five years old, 'adorned with a
shako and sabre. So frightened was
the little fellow 17 the agitated air of
Monsieur de Merisi that' he sought
refuge in the folds of Madame de Bel
roy's dress.'
'Why, Julius,' said abet, - ,patting his
cheek, 'What is the matter?'
'Julius!' roared the discomfited lover,
'is this Julius?'
'Yes; he is my gratidson, a fiber or
phan. By and b+
. I shell tell you all
about his mother and the trouble I bad
to be appointed his guardisn,, and heir
I nied to go and see him at the Boule
vard St. Michel, where he lived. Now,
Julius, - go and kiss Monsieur de Marie',
who, lam sure, will be very kind to
yoli—if he loves rue truly.' .
Monsieur de Merisi did love her
truly. He loved her so truly that be
would have died rather than tell her
that he had doubled her.
-Ana she does not know it to this
day.
I Sow Miss Jenkins "Got Oct
Of It.
It was 'writing afternoon'--said Miss
Jenkins,--aud my scholars were new.
If yon had dver neen a teacher, my dear,
you would realize what the conabinatioti
of those two simple !facts vimplies—the
weariness of body and the utter vexation
of spirit. - First, there's the holding , Of
the pen. If there'll one thing more
than another in which scholark exhibit
their own originality, it is in managing
a pen-holder. Thea,lthe ink: To some
it was simply ink, nothing more. To
others it seemed an irtesistible tempter,
whispering of unique designs, grotesque
or otherwise, to be worked out upon
desk or jacket, „or perhaps upon the
back of one small hand.
ispcsitheafteriliantibtfsilthib. ^ l
ani_going to tell you, I had had more
correcting to do than usual, for some of
the scholars were stupid, and couldn't
do as I wished; and others were care
less, and didn't. try. What with the
looking, and stooping, and continual
showing, I-felt my patience giving way,
and when I saw that three of the largest
boys hid left the page upon which they
should have been practicing, and were
mak t ink 'unknown characters'' in differ
ent parts of their books, I lost it utter-'
ly. 'That I will not have,' said I sharp
ly,. 'I will punish any boy who makes
u mark. upon any butlthe lesson page. ,
They were very still for a while.
*othing was heard but the scratch,
scratching of the pens, and the sound
of my footsteps asl walked up and down
the aisles. Involuntarily, I found my
self studying the hands f before . me as if
they bad been faces. There was Harry
Sar.ford's, large and plump. but flabby
withal, and not over clean. . His 'n's'
stood weakly upon thoir loge, meamiase'
to. feet the need of other letters to prop
them - up.
Walter Lanes's, !red and chapped,-,
with short, stubbed 'fingers, nails bitten
off to the quick, , had yet a certain air
of sturdy dignity; and his 'n's,' if not
lumalsome, were certainly plain, and
looked asif they knew their place, and
meant to keep it.
Tommy Silver's, long and limp;
bps
meared.with ink frem palm to nail,
vainly strove to keep time with a ton
gue which 'wagged, uncertainly, this
way and that, and which should have
been red, but was black, like the fingers.
His.'n's' had neither form no come
liness, atd might have stood for iv's,'
or even quite as well. , •
Then there was Hugh Bright's hand,
hard and rough with work, holding the
pen as if he never meant to let go; but his
'u's' were 'n's,' 4ind could - not be mis
taken for any else, .
At length- I came to Frank Dunbar's
desk—dear little . Frank, who had been
a real help and comfort to me since the
day' when hd bashfully knocked at my
door, with with books and slate in
hand. His hand was white and shape
ly; fingers spotless, nails immaculate,
and his •the—but what was it that sent
a cold chill over me as I look at (hem ?
Ah, nay dear, if I should live a. thous
and years, I could never tell you how I
felt when I found that Frank Dunbar
had written half a dozen letters u p on
opposite page of his copy -book .!
'Why, Frank,' said j, 'how did that
happen.?' •
did it:'
"Yon did it before I spoke?' said I,
clinging to a forlorn hope.
'No, 'm; I. did it afterward. I for
got.'
'Oh, Frank ! my good, good boy !
How Could you ? I shall have to pun
ish you.' '
'Yes, 'm,'—the brave blue eyes look
ing calmly up into my face.
'Very well; you may go to the desk.'
He went, and I :walked the aisles
again,—up and down, up and down,
giving a caution here or a word of ad
vice there, but not knowing, in the
least, what I was about. My ,thoughts
were all with the 'flaxen-haired culprit,
who stood bravely awaiting his penalty.
Vainly I strove to listen to my inward
monitor.. It seemed suddenly to have
become two-voiced,--the one tantidix-
Mg, the other soothing, —and, of course,
the tones were confhoting.
'Yon must punish him,' said one.
'You mustn't' said the other.
'He deserves it.'
'He doesn't.'
'He disobeyed you flatly.' •
• 'But he forgot—and he has always
been so good.'
'But you promised. You have given
your word. Here are thirty boys to
whom you should , be an example. - Do
you think they are not watching you?
Look at them
I did look at them. Walter Lane's
sharp black eyes and 'Harry Sanford's
sleepy orbs were fixed curiously upon
me. Nor were these all. Gray: eyes,
blue eyes,. hazel' and brown eyes,—all
were regardinirine intently; I almost
fancied that they looked at me pitying.
I could not bear it, ,
'Attend to Your writing, boys.' Then
I walked slowly up to the desk.
litoasee how it said the trouble
some voice , : ----tYnn will certainly have
to punish him.' \
But , I had thought of a possible plan
of escape. 'Frank,' said 1,. 'you have
been disobedient, and---you ,know whit
I said, but—yozn are such a good boy
that I can not bear to punish you—not
in that way, I mean. You may pa, to
the foot of your chute, instead.'

says that more young turkeys are lost
by over-feeeding than by not giving
them enough food.. In the West im
mense flOcks of this fowl are annually
raised with no other food than what
they can find in their rambles. For
twenty four hours after hatching the
turkey should receive no food, and af
ter that time a feed twico daily of fine

be kept away from all kinds of young

sensible hot weather hints to farmers
"Avoid drinking large quantities of
cold water ; it is better if possible, to
take small draughts at frequent inter-,j ;
vats. If some cold waterlis poured up- •
on the wrists, or held upon the temples
or both, the temperature of the body
will be rapidly reduced, and with better
effect udon the system than if taken in- :
ternally. A light, white hat is far more
comfortable than a black one, and if it
has a wet cloth, or even a fresh cabbage '
leaf, placed in the crown, it will' be

the more cool and comfortable. A

he neck will protect it from th 3 burn
