Her little garden, situated at the outskirts of the city, always contained some prodigy of the vege table kingdom. • It was mid-winter. A smart equipage drew up •and stopped in , front of Pascaline's door. An elegant-looking matron and a charming young lady alghted from the car. riage. •It was the Marchioness de *genial and her daughter, "Zadeuroiselle" said the marchioness, 'my daughter is to be married the day biter to morrow, and we 'wish a white rose for her . wedding dress. I am told that you have I one' 'Yes, I have two,' repiied•}'asealine 'Can I see them ?' asked the lady. 'Certainly,' was the response; and the two visitors were conducted to a beautiful rose• bush bearing two half-blown roses, which shed a most delicious perfume. 'Can't I have both of them ?' inctuired the inarchioness. . 'No, 51-adame,'. answered Pascaline, with a sigliii,gone of them is already pronlised ' 'Then I will take the one,' said the lady. ':What is the price?' 'Two louis,' replied Pascalino. • 'Here is the money,' said the marehioneas 'Send the rose to my house at the Rue St Honore ' Pumaline bowed politely, and reconductod ber wealthy Customers to the debr of her buimble abode.

With this sum I can pay my rent, gad save myself from being turned out.— Oh, my dear mother 1' she exclaimed, 'from thy happy place in heaven, thou still guard. est and protectest thy daughter !' That night was one of great grief to Pas. °aline. It was 'the eve of the anniversary of the death of her mother, a_ good and pious woman, who had .cultivated in her daughter two chaste affections—love of God and of flowers, She wept as she reflected upon the last moments of that beloved mother, whom death had taken from her. Jt was a cold night when the weeping daughter sat by the bedside of her dying mother, who murmured, in a faint but sweet voice : 'Placaline, are our white roses still liv ing r `Yes, mother,' was the reply. 'Then bring them to the, that I may en joy them once more.' The daughter brought them They were too beautiful, full blown roses, upon on e branch. - . The dcietor said that the .odor of these flowers might injure the patient. 'No, never mind,' she said, 'these roses, ykke . my child, will live long after me. Pita Mine, give me - one of them.

Next morning she resumed her daily task in the garden. She reoolleeted that she bad pro- mised to send a rose to the marchioness, and she went to pluck it; but—sad,to relate—one of the flowers bad withered.away. 'A single rose only now remained. The landlord came and demanded his rent. 'Sir,' said Peaceline, .1 am unable to pay you.' 'How is that? You have money,' said the, landlord, reminding her of the two Louis which he had learned she had 'received from the marchioness. .'The two louis are no longer•mino; replied Pasealine. 'This white rose has withered and died. The money is to be returned.' 'But there is another rose remaining,' said her landlord; 'why not send ?' 'Because it is •already remised,' replied Pascaline; ',411 the gold in t woxld would not purchase it!' 'Then,' said the hard landlord, 'you must prepare . to !care me at once. I can't allow tenants' . to occupy my cottages for nothing! 'You shall be obeyed,' answered the girl, calmly. The marchioness, upon receiving the mo ney. which she left with l'afealine the ir.lay before, hastened to the gardan for the pur pose of learning why the rose had hot been sent. She was-informed that Mademoiselle Be noit had just gone out with a white rose in her hand The marchioness turned and saw her walking down the street. Prompted by curiosity to see where she was going to, she • - .1-ved—to-fol • . l'ascaline entered a cemetery. She knelt at the grave of her mother; and, after plant ing the rose upon it, she exclaimed: 'Oh, my motherl accept this pledge of my remembrance! - Receive this flower which in life you loved so much, and which my own hands have cultivated for you. Intercede for your poor child, who is this day without proteetion or hope!' And with her tears she bedewed the wood en cross, which was the only monument that marked the resting place of that beloved mother. The marchioness, moved io tears retired un percoived.

Hearing the train thundering toward destruction, the farmer clambered across the dreadful break, and running down the road some distance, he signaled the approaching, train to stop; and E 0 short was the distance that by the time the engineer was able to bold up, the engine was within a few 'feet of the chasm. ,* * * The train was large, and was 'filled with persons who had been to a political meeting at Mansfield.
