ty nut before him, discovering to liini
lay by day some new unexpected loveli
i'-; it gave him its old gray walls to
study, the records of its Li'u.n cue nod
it- decay ; it gave him iis old heart to
disinter, and it gave him Christine..
Perhaps the kept him more than all be-li-le;
perhaps the one human interest
v.-as deeper than all that could attach
itself to sculptured so. tins; hut he, at

uf it. lie did not seek to weigh the
s, parafe intercs-s apart ; he ou'y knew
that she was to him,, that she remained
'o bitn through his wholo lite, one in
seperable portion of Rouen, und of that
.summer's holiday.
It was a perfect holiday, even although
each day til! almost sunset he work ed
nw.'.y bravely all those fketchesof his
those sketches which were h ilf right,
because the feeling in him fur every
thing around him wis so deep and so
tiuc, and yet whic'i in their exeeu.
tiou were nearly always so imma
ture and feeble, except when here and
there some niui;icn:ary inspiration -rave
to the haul a sudden strength. It wouid
have been no holiday to him at all if he
had been compelled to lay his pen;il
down. Such work as lie did here was
the be.-t refreshment, his dearest rest.
With tie ver-tuding delight he drew all
c'.iy ; and every evening he passed with
Christine.
Sometimes tbty spent the. whole of
those; evenings up in the poor gairet in
the narrow street; but more olteii she
would carry her basket and her earnings
home, and they would wonder.fu out of
the town together, southward across
the river, or out to the open country,
north and west, or eastward, away upon
the bills. They would sit in woods and
fields, playing sometimes like children
gathering flowers and filling the hollow
of their hands with water lrom the hill
stream. She could sing prettily, and
she would teach her many Fieneh
songs to him, singing ihr;n again aud a.
gaiu,till be learnt l e!i, air and words.
And then he would tmk to her. He
was full of dream- au 1 hopes about bis
'ite, and of love lor a hundred things.
Jiving aud d ad, that she had never
beard, aud of enthusiasm aud revereuee
aid laitli; and of all these he talked to
her. lie would spend hours so, p.,uring
out bis boyish bcait; how hail of till he
said to tier must, in her ignorance, be
like a dead language to her he lcirgut
that ; she listened and mpai hized With
him, aud that was all he a.-ked.
They hpent six weeks so. At the
end of that time they parted. The la.-t
hours that they spent wiih one another
were ou a bright, soft Sunday evening.
They took their lu-.t walk eastward by
the river, and theu up on the risiii'
2rumul to the ninrmt of Mouut St.
Catherine, aud theie sit down ou the
hilltop, with the lair city liug at their
feet.
" 0 Christine, I shall never see it all
gain, perhaps? " he suU, when be bad
sat gaiiut at it tor a luui; time.
They had come here together and
bad spent other evenings go before now ;
the hill, the town, the river, the tall
lathedral towers agaiost the summer
icy, had all become familliarto the boys
yu8 that were to see them now no more
"Pernios ycu will oome hera again
;.dt Eunday, when I shall be hundreds
of nn'cs away. Christine," he said "I
w d Jer it all this will seem like a dream
then?"
'It will not cecru like a drenm to me,"
she answered, si f.ly. " Yi u will have
other thin;; to do: you will be at home
tueii, with the people that jou love
about you J but shall have nothing to
el, monsieur, but to sit ttill aud thiuk
id till this liu.c. "
S-he always culled him " monsieur,"
eveu still. He asked her loug ago to
call him by his name, but she had nev
er done it.
"1 have rover been so happy in nil my
lile," he Fiii.l presently; he had thruwu
bin. sell down on the glass, and laid
his head upon her knees ; he was looking
at the old town, not at her. "if 1 lived
for a hundred years I never should foi
get these weeks. 11 ever 1 have a hol
iday again, shall I Come, back, Christi.
lc V
" I should be plad if you come back."
She was bending down a little, not
touching hinins he lay, but only looking
at him with the lashes low over her eyes.
"It I come back next summer I
doo't think I could, but supposing that
I diit should we have all our old walks
over again? Do you know, Christine,
say we never enjoy the same thing twice
in the same way. But I don't believe
that If 1 were to come back again
next year, why should we not be just
the same again us we are now ? "
" l'eriiaps we change when wc do not
know it, " she said.
" We need never chance in some
things, " he auswered, hastily. "I dou't
know whether you mean to forpct tue,
Christine ; but, I shall remember you to
the last hour I live..
' Monsieur, I shall tint forget you, "
she auswered. soltly, altera moMcnt s
silence. "What shall I have to do,
when you aie gone, but to remember?
W hen I come back here, can 1 foniet
how we walked and sat. together ? When
I no home to my mother, can I forget
how your coming used to make her face
bright? It is not those who remain be
hind that forget. I do not think y
win lorgct us when you go away ; per
haps you will think of m often ; but you
will think of us you said it truly as
if we were parts of a dicai i ; whih ire"
with n passionate gesture that he did
not see, she clasped her hands, and ut.
Jeied the last words with a broken sob :
" Monsieur, when ux lose you, we lose
our daily bread. "
He turned his face around, and look
ed up, and saw her eheeks wet with
sudden tears. Then, at that sight, half
awed and wholly touched, the youth
reached up his hands and clasped hers in
it,and drew herarin down round his neck.
Christ ine, I owe you more than I
have given you, a thousaud times, " he
cried. And holding her hand still, ho
raised it to bis lijjs, and reverently aud
und almost pas. ieaately k ssed it.
His last night in old liouen ! Long
after ho parted from Christiue be was
si HI tvoti lei injj uljuut the dd i U old streets,
all lying quiet under the solemn summer
sk, and going from chii'ch to church
that he had loved, to take h;s last fare
well of every noble trout aud kingly
porch. And long after even that final
walk wus ended, he stood at liis own
window, leaning on his balcony, and
looking down up:ui the river that flow,
ed silently beneath the stars; dreaming
some dreams, the lne'inory of which all
coloi.id by the glorious illusions of his
youth remained with him thr.ugh af
ter years, till both bovhoud and vouth
hud fled.
ile went away very early in i'ue morn
ing. The dilieuee iu which he was to
leave began its journey at six o'clock,
Mod by a quarter to six Christine and he
were standing in the court yard whence
it was lo start. They stood apart from
the other pas.ergers, away from the con
fusion and the jostling of the people,
very quiet, hand in hand.
They we.c together for about ten min
utes, but there was something (luting
those minutes iu the throats of both ot
them that almost choked their Words.
" Chrii tiue, 1 will come back again,"
be said to her, two or th-ee limes.
Once ho looked in her face, and said,
' Don't forget me 1 " A nd the poor girl's
lips quivered as he spoke, with a look
that he never alioi wards lurgut.
He stood clasping her hand in his un
til he heard his name culled, and the
summons given him to take his place.
Then he turned round and rooked into
her face, und said half audibly.
"Christine?"'
" Mousiem," she answered, with a
wild, sudden sob.
She threw bet arms about his neck.
By uiie passiouate impulse they kissed
each other; and with that first and last
embrace they parted, aud never met more
The old uiau has told this story, stand
ing in the shadow ot the church.
'And did you never see her again,
grandfather ? "
"Never, my boy. It was a dozen
ot years bcloie I cumo here again, and
she was gone then, I could never discov
er when or where ; she might have been
somewhere iu the town, but I could not
find her. The traces that the poor
leave behind them soon pass away."
' But she may be alive and here yet;
she may be beru now ? "
" Ay, 1're I, sho may. She may be
in here, not fifty feet away from us, tell.
uer beads at tins moment amongst
the old woman kneeling
Hut if I knew that blu
on the floor,
was, do you
thiuk I woull go iu and try lo tiudher ?"
Ho shook bis head, and smiled, half
sadly. We cannot p-U life iuto deud
booes, Fred," he said, " uoi throw a
bridge across from youth to old age.
If 1 f m&d hor now, do you think we
should rush into each other's arms?
Nay, uiy lad, the girl and boy we have
been talking of died aud were buried
fifty years ago. "

THE ELECTION .
Well, " we have met the enemy, and
we are theirs " at least so far as the
State is concerned, how it was nccom
plished, we will not argue ; that we
have been defeated, fair or loul, is en
ough for us to know.
We wish to have ns little political
matter in onr paper as possible, eiow
that the election is over, yet wo cannot
iclrain from congratulating the Democ
racy of " Little Elk " on the splendid
victory achieved by them on the 9th
inst. They have the proud conscious
ness of knowing thai, thy did all they
could to prevent the dirj results which
will surely follow the triumph of the
Radicals.
Let no Democrat be discouraged.
There will yet be work to do. Your
party has been defeated, but it does not
tollow that it will be extinct, iu our
mind, it is but a triumph of might over
rifiht. IJe steadfast, for
" Truth crushed to earth shall rise again,
" The eternal years of God are hers."
Then, fellow Democrats, take courage,
and when tho time comes, up and at
them again, as you did on last Tuesday
a week. M.

lMrn.ovi.sa. Onr town during the
past summer has improved greatly in
the number of new buildings in eompar

encouraging is the fact that those which
have been put up and are io process of
erection are neat and substantial.
Change. A change in the proprie
torship of the Uydo House took place
on the 20th ultimo. Mrs. Clements has
again takeu charge, and anything we
could say would add nothing to her
well known popularity as a landlady.
