PAUL'S STORY, Or French lessons, I;Y TRArY ToWNE ‘• I'aul please bike pair hooks to the, other )le; 1 hear Misg, Marlowe's Aep on the stain . . It was my brother Clarence that spoke. Miss Marlowe was his French Scholar. How do you know her step from Mrs. Green's, Clarence?" I asked, as, I moved away. "It's lighter, Paul." " Why, Clarence I' 1 exclaimed, can it be? Mrs. Green—" - - " Hush, Paul!" said Clarence; and that iiuute Miss Marlowe opened the door and walked in 'Good afternoon, Mr. Slade," she said. She only nodded to me. "Mayn't I ask her ono question, Clar ence ?" I asked. " One, Paul, and then you must study." " Won't you please tell me how much you weigh, Miss Marlowe'?" " hy, Paul I" began Clarence. " Oh, I had just as soon tell him, said Miss Marlowe. " I believe it was one hundred and ten the last time I was weighed." " Thank You," said I and then 1 eat in the corner and became a nonentity, as Clar ence calls it. „ There, Clarence I” said 1, when Miss Marlowe had gone. " You see she weighs one hundred and ten, and Mrs. Green weighs only ninety-six; so Mrs. Green's step must be the lighter." That doesn't follow," said Clarence, laugh ing. (Ho was only stern when his scholars were with him.) " Mrs. Green might weigh only sixty and yet her step be heavier than Miss Marlowe's, for Mrs. Green puts her whole foot down. when. she .stvs, i wheretts - Miss Marlowe touches the a and with only the tip of her foot, which s smaller than Mrs. Green's, I'll wager, even if she does weigh more." " I guess it is," said I, " for Mrs. Green has the biggest foot I ever saw. I said to her just a day or two ago—" Why Mrs. Green, what number of shoes do you wear ?" • ' , Why, Paul," said Clarence, " that was rude." "Oh 1 she didn't care. She only laughed and said that uhe had the rheumatism in her feet, and had to wear sixes." Just; then the tea-boll rang, and Clarence I and I went down to tea. Now I- just- ; want to tell you . about my brother Clarence. You see, father and mother went abroad, and when they wore coming home the ship was lost., and they with it. Oh, it was dreadful I = Then U. horrid man cheated us out of a big lot of our prop erty, and Clarence had to leave the office (he was studying law) and teach school. And Aunt Mary must.gound,adept May (that's my' twin sister) and not me—and .that was mean—so Clarence had to leave Now ~York and come to this pretty town in Connecticut to teach 'school and support Me. Not that I wasn't willing to support myself, for I was eight years old when father and mother died, and -there, wore n,great ,tnany things .that I might have:dope, ouly'ClareticeWould,p't let me i sol. had to make .up my.rimind to }t, and be a.OPendent,on hint ; but-140a, llko, it very well. - ' - , ( i'..9l 9 ffti 1 l- l i'el I Q s room 1.0T.0r J.llO . olar iscame to Ida room taltitto . . . _ . ._, • ~. .. ~..1,- , - : r- ---,-.- ' b .

We had a nice room nt Mrs. Green's, who was a funny wi , 'ow, and did her own work, which I thought was strange, but Clarence I suppose you think that Miss Marlowe was a grown up lady. Well I suppose she was grown up ; she wore long dresses. Sho was pretty old, too—sixteen or seventeen, I guess—but some how she didn't seem old a bit. She has great blue eyes—not your old faded blue eyes, but real bright ones, and just the smilinyest mouth ! I told her her name ought to be Smiley, but it wasn't, it was Maud, though she told me that her fath called her Pink. "Oh dear," said I, " what a pretty name ! I wish I might call you Pink." " Do," said she, " I wish you would ;" but Clarence told me afterwards that I mustn't, for her father was a great sea captain, the richest man in the place, and she was his only child and agroat heiress, and very much above us." 1 don't see why," 1 said. " Their house isn't anti handsomer than the one we used to lieu in. Perhaps they will be poor some time.'' " But they are rich now, Paul, and we aro poor. •If we over should be rich—" Hero Clarence stopped and sighed. " Oh, we shall be rich, Clarence. When I'm ten I'm going into a store, and I'll earn lots of money—see if I don't. But I don't see why money makes them any better than =BM Clarence laughed outright. " Oh, Paul!" said he, "you are such a funny little chap. You are not the lirst one that has said that. ought not to he so, but money does make a great difference in this foolish world." '}Then you think - , Clarence, that we are really just as good—though not so rich—as Miss ALa•lowe and her father.'' •' No, no!" cried Clarence, eagerly. "G.ood isn't the word. " Little Pink" (you see she didn't think she waF R young lady), "with all her fun and mischief, is as ;400d, as as—as—as—" Clarence didn't know what to say next. and I couldn't wait for him to kind out. '• Why Clarence Slade!" I cried, " I don't believe Maud Marlowe is one of those good girls that you rend about in books. She's too jolly. They are always quiet and fentle, and all ready to die. Sonic of them arc, perhaps," said he, but being good—pious, I mean—does not iply being sober, and, quiet, and all ready die, as you say. Some of the best men it over lived- ay, and women too—were Len overflowing with fun." Is she one of the kind that reads the ible to poor people?" said I. '•I dare say," said Clarenctii. But he idn't Want to talk any more, and 1 didn't ease him ; for I tell you he was a perfect " wree ri ilV , llltl iN Lew' 1 1• no sai„— • If father were alive, and we were whero we were Wire, I should be Maud Marlowe's equal in every respect but goodness. For WO are a gottlemun'B s u ns, • Thal', t 0 ,," said 1. Mir But, here, in B-----, I'm only a poor school teacher, Paul ; and nobody knows that our lather was a gealernan." 'Yes they do," said 1, stoutly, "for I've told them" "That does nit signify. They may think it's a story you have made." "Clarence Slade. Do you suppose that I would tell a lie!" Don't get angry, Paul, of course I don't. But it's the way of this foolish world that we've been talking about, never to believe people unless they prove their statements. So it you want people to believe that you aro a gentleman's son, Paul, you must prove it in your actions, not in words," That shut me up ; for I am often rude, you know, and use slang phrases, which Clarence says isn't gentlemanly. After that I watched to see how Clarence found out that Miss Marlowe was good ; but 1 couldn't tell, for he never talked to her much when she came to recite. At last I asked him how he knew, when he wasn't acquainted with her hardly at all. " How "Don't you remember, Paul," said ho, 'when I took a walk with my scholars in the woods ? I got acquainted with her that day, and occasionally I see her in the street and walk a little way with her.' "You might walk home with her some times' as I do," said I. I liked her so much that sometimes Clarence let me walk home with her. "Yes I might," said Clarence, and ho began to study his lesson. Now 1 hated that French. It was very hard for Clarence. After it was over ho was realy pale sometimes ; and when Miss Marlowe had gone, ho would sit and study over it half the evening. Sometemes he'd have to stop and think over ono paragraph as much as half an hour, and sometimes ! he would sigh nsAf it uiae 6 - ircuit fuss: I mica to wish som i etima 'Mitt Miss Marlowe was in the bottom of the Red Sea ; but it would have been a pity to put her there, she was so pretty. 'Don't you think, after that ono time, when • I was walking out, I met her father, the old sea-captain, you know. He wasn't old, though. He wasn't any older than my father was before ho wont abroad; but . had always called him the old.captain in my mind, because he was, richer than we And I didn't think he had any right.to be. • He seemed•to know me. I am sure -I don't know how ho happened to. 'Well, my boy.' said he, !I suppose you are Mr. blade's brother that I hear so mueh about." . "Yes sir," said I I'm Paul. Do you hear a groat deal about my brqthor?" Tho captain smiled a pleasant' smile. 'I hear a great deal about ono of the brothers,' . said he. 'Which do you suppose it is?' 'I don't like to be made fun of,' said I, feeling rather cross. Of course you mean Clarence.' ' I thoupt Abe captain 'said 'pluck' in a kind of undertone ; then ho said aloud— 'Well, they say this brother of yoirrs - is e:.' ' fine young. tr dn.'

'Yes,' said I, 'he thinks •she's prows, and spirituelle. and all that.' 'Oh, ho!' said the captain, 'that's it, is it? Well, she is, She got that from her mother who was a saint, if ever there was one—not from me mind you.' 'No,' said I, shouldn't think you were very pious.' The captian laughed like anything when I said that. 'You are a comical little fellow and that's a fact,' said he. 'And so your brother likes my Pink, (loos ho?' 'Oh, no,' said I, 'I don't think ho likes her very much. Ho never talks to her hardly a bit. He knows her step, though ; but I asked him once why ho didn't talk to her more, for she's splendid, you know.'' 'les, yes go on boy.' 'And whet do you think he said He said he thought it wouldn't bo honorable. She came there to recite merely, and if he kept her talking, you might not like it, for she is rich you know, and ho is poor; and then he went to studying the old French. There sir, said I, thinking I must confide in some one, 'that French lesson is awful. You've no idea—Clarence will study a whole even- ing on:one page. I've seen him do it; and ho sighs away at a groat rate, sometimes,and once I heard him say, Nardi hard!' 'And once, sir, he was real cross to me. (The only timesinee father and mother died.) I asked him about a lesson, when he was studying his French; and hesaid, "Goairay, Paul. Oh, if it wasn,t for you," and then he stopped. But a few minutes after he 'aloe over and kissed rue and asked me to orgive him; Clarence did sir, 'Oh,' said he, t's such n hard lesson!' ' s an awful study, this 'reach,' said tho captain; but I don't believe he sympa thized with me a bit, for his eyes looked oh, so rougishl You tell your brother Clarence that you arc the best friend he has: said he, when he left inc. Ono afternoon, some time after that, Oar. once looked very pale when the French les. son was over. 'Miss Marlowe,' said he, I am going away next week; I cannot stay here longer. Will you please give this bill to your father?' Ile winced when he gave hor the bill. Clarence was very proud, and didn't like to ask for money. "I am sorry," said she, and her cheep grew as red as fire. I thought she was go. ing to cry, they grew reds() suddenly; but she didn't, and her red cheeks made her look all the prettier. "I wat getting along so nicely with my' French,'' she added a minute LEM I started up. "But don't you see!" said I, "it's the French that makes him so horrid pale; he'll get siWits a dog, before you know it. list glad he's gailig to stop, Miss Mar- Miss Mariowo never said anal/, went right off; and Clarence, who pet. lm when I spoke, (I Monder if he wit angry) sat down in a chair and said nothing. "I'm glad too Paul." ho said, after a long time; "it's the best thing we can do, the 4ry best thing." When Miss Marlowe (iamb the next dsy, she brought Clarence his money, and n littm note. What do•you think it said? I'll copy "Mr. PAUL SLADHI—Deer Sir: —Won't yo, and your brother come and drink tea wit) 'ink and me to-morrow evening? You shal alk to Pink all the evening if you lilt{ hough I should prefer to have you convene with me yours truly, Gur MARLOWE." jumped up and clapped my hands, jut as'soon as 4 heard it even if the French le- son Wag begun Why' Paul," said Clarence, "what is to matter?' "Papa has some plan on loot, I know," Bid Maud, "ho looked so roguish when he gas me the note." Clarence read the note but said nothing "Do you want to see it, Miss Marlowe?! asked. She took it and read it. "You will come, won't you?" said do looking, not at me, but at Clarence. "Thank you," said he, "I think we Vii," But he told me after she .had gone, Iht he would fifty times rather stay at home, Ink, he thought it best to go. We had such a nice time. Pink was roan:, delightful. She had on a gorgeous silk dress—ono of your stiff, rustling silks ; the sleeves were short and her arms were just as white—and the dress was blue, too, the color of her eyes. She looked like a beauty. Wo had a splendid supper. I sat close by the captain ;my plate was put so. Ile was just as kind and pleasant as ho could be. He talked a great deal to me, and so of course, Clarence talked to Pink ; and I could see tho Captain's twinkling gray eyes look over at them every once and a while, in such 'n way.'' Oh, It was a big thing to be there! . At last the Captain began to talk to Clar ence about Gail Hammerion. I believe they called her ; at anyyste, they said she pound 'ed society unmercifully, ',She's sharp," said the Captain, 'sharp as a steel trap,' and it's a pleasure to read her books, when they aren't about men and wOrnou ; but iiho's clown on thorn both.

I won't say that I have an unselfish love for• Pink, but I will say that I love her so much that I dread the timo when sho shall love some else, better than me; and yet, from what I learn from this boy here," said the Captain, patting me on the shoulder, "and from what I have seen with my own eyes, I have come to the conclusion that you are in love with this Pink of mine, Mr. Slade. You needn't blush. It's nothing to be ashamed of. I was in love myself once, and a tremedous time I had of it, too, be fore I could get my wife. In fact I had ouch a hard time. thiit I made vow chat if any young man of good principles, (my only proviso,) ever wanted my l'ink; and sho loved him, he should have her ; and so, Mr. Slade, ' continued the Captain, " if you want Pink, and she loves you better than she does mo—and I'm inclined to think sho does—why take her, T say. I won't oppose you; and as foli, this lad here," and he laid his hand on my shoulder again, "there's nothing I should like so well to have him stay with me, white you finish your law s!udies. I'll adopt him as my son any minute you say so.'' What do you suppose Clarence said to that? Ifo never said a word, but just cried like a baby; but I couldn't cry; I thought it would be so jolly to live with the Captain. I didn't understand then, either, why Clarence should cry, for I thought it un manly to cry, and Clarence certainly wasn't unmanly ; but I know all about it now. You see Clarence had been in love with Pink all the term long, (and it's a dreadful wearing thing to be in love, the Captain says,) and ho had to try hard to be noble and honorable, and he did not know that the Captain was so kind. and his gond fortune, came so sud denly, when he didn't expect it, that I don't wonder that lie cried. And the Captain had to walk to the win dow and blow his n oso, to lcoep from crying himself. Then he pent Clarence to the par lor, to find Pink, and I staid with him in dining-room, cracking nuts, and eating them with raisins. I'll tell you what made rue think of this story, for it al happened more than a year ago. Pink, (I call her Pink now all the Unit) has just been showing me her wedding dress ; and the Captain pinched my chN k, slyly, and said, " Ah, Paul Do you sup pose that would ever have been , made, it' it hadn't been for you T• I'm surd 1 don't see what 1 had to do with it, do you Strange Customs Tho fa , ,wing is a curious account of n i l habits and customs 01 some 01 Ulu alleS 4ho interior of Africa, as we find it in the Livingstone, just issued in-Loildon.-4eak ing of the women in Morambala, the nar rative save: " These damsels looked with considerable disgust on the men in bags,' as the trow sered whites were called.

A Romance Founded on Facts Our regiment was stationed at Morgan's Ford. Our Colonel had been shot by an Indian guerrilla, and our Lieut. Colonel had gone home sick, and so the command devolved on our Maj r. whose name was Farewell. He was a middle aged, dashing fellow, given to social enjoyment, and as a general thing, keeping on pretty friend ly terms with those about him. lie was naturally free and easy—El fine soldier and strict disciplinarian. He was ilkind hearted and generous man, though troubled with a temper that led Lim into error at times. Major Farwell had been in command but a few weeks, when he concluded to send for his wife to come and stay with him rough the summer. Ile had comfortable and commodious quarters, and there was little danger that the Indians would make another attack. I was on a foraging expedition when Mrs Farwell arrived; but I returned on the fol- lowing , day and was in season to attend the party which the Major gave on the occa sion. The stair and line of officers, not kept away on duty, were all present, and joy and merriment ruled the hour. Mrs, Farwell was younger than her hus band, a portly women, bearing herself with Hell Jim vca re. a midis-Ai! , alll tlll.CghTort needless ressrve. but treat,•il susdness and eonsideratiom, seemingly only anxious that all should feel at home and enjoy themselves. In that far off region thu laws of total abstinence were not strictly adhered to; and on the present occasion we not only cull, tied many bottles of wine, but several bottles of old Bourdon were included in the bill of fare. Towards midnight the ladies withdrew, but the officers were not quite ready to retire. The Major was in high spirits, and song and story, with flowing goblets, gave us occu pation. By and by, I proposed a toast, Mrs. Major Farwollr and it was drank with three hearty cheers. Why in the world the Major should have taken offen.m I could not comprehend; hut he did so. and intimated that I had better not make too free with his wife's name. '•Egad I" I replied without stopping to weigh my words "if you must have your handsome lady as sacred as that, you ought not to have brought her out here." "Capt. Willet." he cried, rising to his feet, "if you breathe the lady's name again, I'll kick you from my quarters." I had started from lily seat, when Lieut. Walker, who was sitting by my sido, pulled me back. "Zounds!" he muttered, in a whisper 'don't say another word. The Major is wad, and he's a hit jealous, too. Can't you see it?" As Walker spoke, it flashed upon mo that Mrs. Farwell bad been very attractive to me. She bad danced with me four or five times, and had prothenaded with me upon the piazza. But I cannot bear such language as Major Farwell had addressed to me, and in spite of my friend's remonstrance, I retorted upon him. My blood was heated with whiskey, and I cared no more for the commanding officer at that time, than 1 would have cared for a drummer boy. "By heavens, sir," I replied, "yOu would have a fine lime kicking me out! Perhaps had better try it nowt" The Major sprang towards me and caught me by the collar. I thought at the time that ho meant to strike; but I was subse quently convinced that he did not. But I struck him upon the cheek with the tlatof my hand. With a hissing oath, he drew a pistol from ,his pocket, but before he could use it the Adjutant caught his arm, and three or four of my friends hurried me off to my, own quarters. On the following morning, I awoke with anything but a pleasant feeling, and when I remembered,wbat had transpired during the tlie.provions night, I felt wretched enough : I curse4.the rvAue cup and the whiskey hot tie from .the bottom of my heart and inwaird ly'resolved Virotildtouch tlie,',stuff no mere. Still, I, was forced to take a stiff hot 'toddy ,to, steady My nerves ; and after ,I had.Oredsed myself,. sat down to a cup of coffee, L ne thus engaged, when onrAdjiitant,'Mr.ilo k ;qt., entered my 'Art:arters: I bade htm good morning, and asked him if he would not take some breakfast with me.

First : did I, in my toast to Mrs. Farwell, give him the least occasion of ill feeling 1 I could see none, Captain ; but you re ember you had been drinking.' 'Exactly—and in that we wore even.— And now—did he not, in the presence of the whole company, threaten to kick. me from his quarters ?' Yes.' 'And did ho not lay his hand upon me before I struck him V cannot be positive, but I think he did.' 'Then,' said I, drinking the last of my coffee. 'I shall make no apology.' 'You will remember, Captain,' suggested Bowker, 'that the Major is a dead shot, and that in the handling of a sword he has no u I care nothing about that.' I knew the temper of our officers, and I knew I should be hold in light esteem if I allowed the Mit jor to back me down. Once more Bowker asked if I wonld apologize. I told him most emphatically, 'No.' 'Then,' ho added, have instructions to deliver this note.' He handed me an unsealed missive, which I found to be a challenge, and by it I was informed that Adjutant Bowker was em- powered to make all necessary arrange MiE! My warmest friend in the regiment was a First Lieutenant named Walker, and I sent for him at once, desiring him to act as my second. At first he tried to dissuade me n from lighting, but when he fuund would not retract, he consented to serve ine, though I could see very plainly that he liked not the business. However, he asked me if I had any instructions to give him. 'Only two items,' I replied, 'First, I will fight with pistols ; and second, as my nerves are somewhat unstrung, I would like the affair put off till• to-morrow morning.' Walker went off with the Adjutant, and when he returned he in'ormed me that the the arrangements were all made. We were to meet at 7 o'clock the following : morning .—weapons pistol s—distance twelve pa ces—our :if conds to toss for choice of position —to flre at the word of command. After dinner I sat down to arrange my affairs. I wrote several letters, which I enclosed and sealed in a single envelope, to be sent off by my clerk in case I should fall. My property 1 gave into Walker's charge, with instructions how to dispose of it.— When matters had been thus arranged, it was well toward evening, and taking it light cane in my hand I walked out for a breath of fresh air. Not far from the camp were Morgan's Falls, a wild, romantic spot, whore the seer a huge bed bridge of logs, from which could t he obtained one of the grandest scenes that ever blessed the eye of an eminence near the falls, 1 saw a women arid child standing upon the bridge ; but I lost them for a time, as I de scended into the shrubbery. I was just emerging from the thicket when a sharp piercing cry of agony broke upon my ear.- 1 spran , to the bridge, and there saw the woman—alone, She was wringing her hands and shriek ing liku a crazy creature. I was not nurny moments in comprehending the truth. Be low the bridge floating on the troubled waters, 1 saw the child, its spreading gar ments buoying it up ; and I could hear the tiny voice calling, 'Mamma I Mumma!' There was not a moment to be lost. The child was going nearer and nearer to the falls—nearer and nearer to death' It was a fearful risk for me, for the chances were that I should be taken over into the hissing boiling surge beneath the rocks. But what was the risk to me then 1 If I died in the river I should nut stand in the way of Major Farwell's bullet. I had better a thousand times give my life thus, than throw away in a duel. The woman saw ine, and appealed to me fur help ; but my coat was off before she discovered me, and in a mo!neut I was itio the water, striking out with all my power. The child was 'llia way from the bridge to the falls when I started ; but I swain rapidly, and caught it just at the point where the waters began to gather for the plunge. It was a girl, not more than three or four years old, with 'bright golden ring lets, large blue eyes, and a face liken cherub. She clasped her little arms about my neck, and called me 'papa.' '0 papa—good papa—don't let Kitty go into the wicked place down there!' With all my might I held up the child, and struck for the shore ; but it was not to be. I had been drawn within the swift current, and no mortal could have withetood it. The prospects of the morrow took from mo all fears for the present, and I was more calm and collected than I might otherwise have boen. As soon as I realized that I must go over the falls, I turned every thought to saving' the child, for, even in those few short moments, the darling had won strangely and deeply upon my love. Near and nearer ! swifter and swifter! the roar of the mad waters growing louder and louder! until at length the edge was reach ed. Close to my. bosom I bore the shielding it as well as T could, and in a mo ment my oyes were closed beneath the boil ing flood. Down—down—down—arm:lnd like a top—then away over 'limbed of smobtli rocks: and when I finally opened my eyeel saw the shore not fur off, and quickly' dis covered that I could stand upon my feet, with my head out of water.

I took a little warm wine, and eat a little supper and by ten o'clock I felt quite strong."' In the morning I felt quite sore and still, and was forced to hang my left arm in a sling. Walker, ishen he came, suggested. that the duel be put off; but I ..f:vould listen to no such proposition. A few glasses of, wine made me feel bet ter and I believed my right hind would be steady enough.

I felt somewhat fatigued when I reached the place, and was forced to call on my second for his whiskey flask. In a little while the Major and Adjutant made their appearance, and I suggested to Walker that I would like to have the afftir over as quick as possible- I was growing weak and shaky, though I did not tell him so. Ho had opened the pistol case, and was taking out the weapons, when Mr. Bowker approached us. Gentlemen,' he said, Major Farwell wishes to speak before we proceed any further.' '1 am ready to listen,' I replied. only let him be brief as possible.' Presently the Major came towards me. Captain,' he said with preceptable tremu lousness in his tone, I have challenged you, and the arrangements are all made. I will stand where I am and you may fire at me.' You mien we will change shots.' No,' he returned, shaking his head, ' I cannot fire at you.' But, sir, what. means this ?' I cried in E=Mlil ; Do you not know '' he asked, seeming equally amazed. I assured him that I did not. You saved a human life last night. Yes ; I saved a cherub.' Do you know whose cherub it was V I told him I had not the least idea. With a quick movement he advanced and caught my hand. ' Captain WHIM,' he gXclaimed, with strong emotion, 'that child was mine?— You may have your shot . but I would rather die a thousand deaths than raise my hand against the preserver of my precious I tried to make some reply but I could not speak coherently. I had been growing weaker and weaker, and my head was whirl- ing, and the sound of rushing hissing waters rung in tn.years. Ah the ordeal of the falls was too much or him!' I'heard Walker say, as he caught e in his arms !Captain, Captain, forgive me ! pardon itie! I was to Haw!' I heard the Major speak. I presiied s hand and tried to smile. I was sick for a lontr time. but I had the best and tender.ist nursing. Mrs. Farwell was like a mother or a loving sister to me, and the Major was not jealous. And when I grew stronger, the bright eyed cherub was my companion. And as she wound her tiny arm: about my neck, she said that she loved MP very notch, and that I must be her ^ other papy."
