A short reprieve she then would give, By taking her own way, Some fat hogs lives she would prolong, At least, for one whole day. One day when he was 2n full rig, Some ballast needed he, l‘en splendid hick’ry fixe handles, Made from a bass-wood tree. His head and hat at last did part, For well indeed they might; The but did scarcely reach the ground: Till he was out of sight. The axe-handles on his right side, His tool-bag on his left, Two cats were in his butcher’s bag, From home his wife had sent. He threw his fe.et up to He threw his feet up to her nos His head back to her tail, And on his back aid pull away, But all to no avail. A circle sometimes she would run. And bring him home again; This trick on him she often play’d In spite of curb and rein. So now the cats began to mew, The mare began to go, "Twas sore against the butcher’s will He’d rather t; avel slow. His mare and him did not agree, Nor did she like the cats, She’d rather they had stzud at home, To watch the mice and rats. Nor could he make her move one foot, Although he tried his bestâ€"- For she, no doubt, began to think, That it was time to rest. But Jack was not the man to yield, Nor give way to despair, While in his hands he held the reins, To guide his headstrong mare. His hair and heard now in the breeze, Was frightful to behold, And all that seen him dash along Thought that he would catch a. cold‘ The cats and handles now did make A din, I do declare, Besides not less than twenty dogs, Were scamp’ring in the rear. So now the stubborn brute did halt, W here Jack would rather not, At the same merchant’s door, where he Some goods on credit bought. The merchant to his door he runs, Says he :-â€"â€"you’ve Come at lastâ€" That book account you know’s been due, More than a twelve month past. In such a. scrape Jack was the boy, That knew how to get freeâ€" I brought them here to give to youâ€"- You have 54011 splendid tea. When once your laid upon your back, And Jack hds got his knife, , Your grunting, rooting, squeeling ends For Jack will end your life. His nag so swift, was wayward too, He never could her guide, I often heard the butcherswear, When he on her did ride. But every beast upon the road,‘ Did sore the butcher dread, A warning look they gave their friends, And then together fled. At length the cats their prison burstâ€"â€" The dog at them did run, But, these two cunning monsters smart, Did the encounter shun. Your handles here‘ I do not want, ’Tis plain I will you tell, The last that I did get from you, Scarce one of them would sell. Now Jack, no doubt, has got a. job, Some hogs he has to bleed, So now the butcher’s near at. hand, Pour hogs you’ll die with speed. And every one that saw Jack fly, Would bawl to him hold fast, But ere the sound could reach his ears Jack and his mare were past. The timber in these axe-handles I swear could not be beat, And then for workmanship, you know, None can with me compete. The wind for speed could not compare, Nor scarce the telegraph, And as for sluggish railroad speed, Jack's mare would at it. laugh. When thus acquipped, he mounts his mare; The four then let her slide, The neighbors all will run to see The way that Jack does ride. A cloud of dust far in the rear, Was always a sure Sign, That bold Jack Hhornback and his mare Were flying down the line. Now your tobacco. says my Wife, For smoking is the best, Then Jack would take his old plug hat, And strap it to his chin, With butcher’s bag tied to his back, Hisjourpey to begin. When Jack was bound his mare to mount‘ To ride away so bold, His wife, his brother and two more, It took his mare to hold.

It had been settled long previously that thev were to start for Paris imme- diatelv after the ceremony ; and Mademoiselle Blanche had raised no objection to this plan. Strange, you will say, ifslie had objected to a months sojourn in the women’s Paradise. Nevertheless, at, the ' last moment, Madame Chardon [call it, said my friend, Mon- sieur Hippolyte Gerfaut, commis- sary ol police ofthe city' of Paris, in his perfecfy accented English, I call it my duel in the dark. The affaire Chardon was bizarre enough to create some little sensation at the time, even amongst our blases Parisians; though, doubtless, it is long since lorgotten. l have two satisfactory reasons [or remember- ing it-â€"l who had the entire con- duct of it ; first, because my adver- sary was un hommefortâ€"a guill- ard whom it was no small credit to defeat; secondly, because I was fortunate enough to be able to prove to my superiors, who were till then inclined to treat them more lightly than they deserved, that certain little theories of mine (wai- ent du ban.

And while the Marseille express mshed Pariswards through the bowling darkness of that wild Nov~ ember night. Moniseur Gerlaut pulled his fur cdsquette over the sharp black eyes, that gleamed and twinkled behind his olficial luneltes arranged his travelling-wraps, re- freshed himseil with a pinch of snuff, and told me his story, as nearly as I can rember, in the fol- ‘lowing fashion. The facts of the case, said the commisssurie, as it was brought be- fore me, in the first instance, were these. Just six years ago, a young provincial notary, Leopold Chardon by name, arrived in Paris with his wife, a bride of some three weeks, to spend the remainder of their honeymoon. Chardon had but latelv succeeded his old patron, the notary Lamorce, at Morville; and it was the latter who, knowing to to a centime the amount of Madeâ€" moiselle Blanche Segouvay’s dot. and havmg a prudent eye to the. early payment of the purchase- money ofhis etude. had arranged the match between the two young people. It promised to be a very happy one. Every one at Morville knew that Leopold Uhard- on and his luture simply adored each other. Now Jack’s alive and at his trade, Three children he has got ; His first-born is a daughter fair, The best of the whole‘lot. But he did not come off unscath’d Foi' when he shouted whoaâ€"â€" Hxs lazy horse did stop so quick, He o’er his head did go. I Nor did he care where he did go, Since he had got his horse, And homeward he began to gallop, Without the least remorse. Just try her speedâ€"jump on her backâ€"â€" I’ll give enough to bootâ€"- The preacher mounts, sticks in his spurs, Away from Jack did shoot. The preacher was 'a curious man, He thought that Jack did lieâ€" Although Jack swore 1t was not soâ€" His mare had lost an eye. Nor was he ever heard of more, I oft heard Jack declare, To glory he fov sure did ride, All on his firey mare. So now’s his chanceâ€"he meets a. man, A preacher so he said 5 The butcher eyed the preachex’s horse, And then proposed to trade. Bold Jack is on the road again, Without a broken boneâ€"â€" But in a passxon he did swear, This mare he’d not ride home. The merchant heard-this long harrangue, He thought the butcher just, Again he fill'd his butcher’s bag, As formerly on trust. The hogs this season afe sf fat, The farmers pay me we] â€" ' Because they know they can afford, The way that pork does sell. T110 trifle that I'm in your debt, Will soon by me be paid; The season now has just begun, For working at my trade. And then your liquor’s 'splendid' stuff, I‘d like its strength to test. A DUEL IN mifi BARK. gimmm i There, one wild nightin Novem- berâ€"â€"a night like thisâ€"~when the wind was roaring among the leaf- less trees, and dashing the storm- drops heavilv against the windows of Numero Ten. the two were sitt- ing, after witnessing the perform~ ance at the Ambigu, talking over what. they had seen before retiring to rest. The room was lighted only by the feeble glea'n ofveilleuse and the occasional flicker of a dying fire. The clocks hadchimed the threequarters past midnight. It was theghastly drama of the Vam. pire wigflch had been played at the Ambigu that night,and its fantastic horrors seemed to have made so strong an impression on his wile; that Chardon rallied her laughingâ€" lv on her nervousness. To no pur" pose. She had, she admitted, no belief in the existence ot a super- natural monster. But. she asked shudderingly. were there not really assassins who murdered people in their sleep? A notion which Chardon treated with all the tran- quiiinsouciance of an ex-student, and hastily turned the conversa- Iron. lt fell at last on somnambulism and somnambulistsâ€"a set of far- ceurs, the young notary observed, who played all sorts ofqueer pranks with the most Innocent unconsci- ousness the storv of the monk and his superior. The latter reading a holy book one night upon his had. was horror struck at heholding one of the bretheru armed with a large knife enter hiscell, the door of which stood open. and mate Straight for him With a stealthily threatening gesture. The superior slipped quietly from his couch, and lying perdu, had the saisfaction of seeing Frere Anselme bury his knife three times to the hilt in what he doubtless imagined was the reVerPnd priors body, and then retire with a Countenace expressive ot rapture. The poor deviI was a somnambulist. and professed the greatest astonishment and griel when told next day of what he had done in his trance. The superior pardoned poor Fere Anselme. Chardon said, as he finished his tale; but, like a wise man. fasten- ed the door of his cubiculum for the future. Chardon had installed his wife in the same. Hotel garni. in Pays Latin, that he had inhabited himself as a bachelor law student. They occupied a’ large room on the first floorI overlooking the gardens of the Luxembourg. Madame Ceardon had so tar re- covered herselfas to be able to smile fainth again by this time. All at once. as though struck with a thought. she asked her husband if he had secured the door of their apartment, and if not, to do so. . [Chardon made one or two at- ttempts to combat this morbid leel~ ’ing. .but unsuccessfully. He was fain to yield to it at last, and trust that it wonld soon wear off. as in» deed it appeared to do. The voung people travelled about from place to place, each day’sjournev brought them nearer and nearer to the capi- tal, till, by and by, only three or four leagues lay between it and them. When, one morning, Chard- on ventured to renew his proposi- tion, his wife accepted it with little or no hesitation. The canrice had passed, or Madame had got the better of her distresstng souvenirs. 0n the evening of that day, Leo- pold Chardon and his bride were in Paris. In the midst of a thousand-and- one pleasures and attractions‘ Madame Chardon appeared to have forgotten her former objections to the visit. But her husband remem- bered afterward, once upon the crowded boulevard. and again as they sat together in the theatre. she had suddenly, and as it seemed in a sort of involuntary tremor. seized his arm, as though something or some one had startled or frightened her. She could give no explana- tion ofthis strange emotion, when he questioned her. It was the morbid feeling reasserting itseil, no doubt. 7 Anxious to calm and reasure her, Qbardon crossed the room at once evinced a most decided' repug~ nance to undertake the journev. b‘he either could not or would not assign any reason or this capriceâ€" as it seemed to her husban-lâ€"but that it was in Paris her father had died; and that it would naturally be painful to her to revisit scenes associated with his memory. How long that sleep had lasted, Leopold Chardon never knew. It was still utteriy dark in the room when he awokeâ€"awoke with a f‘tint sickly odour in his nostrils, that carelessly courageous as he ’was, brought a sweat of terror up- lon his forehead. He knew it in- stiactivelyâ€"instinctively. too, be ,stretched forth his hand, to where lhis wile lay beside him. A low cry burst from his Dale lips. His hand was wet with something heavy. and viscid. and lukewarm. which could only be one horrible thing: his hand was wet with blood. He sprang from the bed to his leet. The blackness, and the silence of the grave was all around him. Gaspina for air, like one halfsufi‘ocated he groped his way to the window, and flung it open. in a little while. he felt so far re- covered as to be able to persuade himsell tltat he. must be the victim of some atrocious nightmareâ€"sth induced, no doubt. by the drama hel had witnessed at the Ambigu, and and his conversation with his wile afterwards. Yes, that was all. To convince himself, he kindled a taper. and shielding it from the current of air that blew in threw‘ the window, advanced resolutely to bedside, prepared to smile at his own lolly when he should see his Blanche slumbering pea0elullv With a steady hand he. drew back‘ the curtains. and this is what he saw: he saw his wife lying still enough upon her pillows, her eyes wide open, and fixed in a ghastly stareâ€"her fair hair all dishevellett and dabbled in bloodâ€"in blood, lor planted in her heart was the Alger- iati poniard he. had lelt upon the table. A sudden 211st extinguish- ed the taper, and the room was in darkness once tnore. Alone with corpse ol bis murdered wife, Chardon felt for a while nothing but a dull sense of numbing op- pression, that paralysed eVery men- tal faculty. But when the gray light of the dreary November dawn stole upon him, the horrible reality of what had happened seemed sud denly to strike. him. There. before his eves. lay his wile, murdered in her sleepâ€"murdered with the very weapon the sight of which had so strangely afiected him a few hours ago. Who was the assassin? VVHS it possible that any one could havn entered the room and dealt that deathâ€"blow. and Vet never have.

And it was no tobbet’s doing; lor there, on the table, where the pani- ard had lain, lay untouched sttl‘ a considerable sum in gold. Wltn then. had done it? Presently, an appalling, ilea occurred to him. What if itwere himself? that if, still under the inlluence ol the in- voluntary thoughts which had so strangely disquieted him when he retired to rest, he had risen in his sleep, taken the dagqar from its place, and in his unconscious sleep ‘still, become the unwitting assassin ;of his wife. towards the door, with the inten- tion of removing the key from the outside (Where according to. our system, it acts as a door-handle). and so render the entrance of an evil disposed person, somtiabultst or otherwise, impossible. In doing so, something lying on. the table at the foot of the bed. which gleamed 1in the efpiring light of the veilleuse lcaught his eye. Strange it was tlte elaborately chased silvered hilt ofa large Algerian pninard which had been given him onlv that very dav by an old comerade, an officer of Spahis, spending his leave in Paris. The Slgill of this weapon impressed him disagreeably. Some- how, his thoughts reverted to the monks dagger 'tn the storv he had just told his wife; and this bizarre association at. ideas caused him a vague, undefinable We.

A gentleman in Cambridge has in- vented a process by which wood may take the place of' paper in the adornment of house walls: “ A very delicate, simple and beauti~ ful machine has been constructed, which will take a portion of a tree after it has been cut the right length and width, and shave it up into thin ribbons as wide as a roll of house paper, making 100 or 150 to the inch. These rolls of wood are placed on the walls by paper hangers, with paste and brush precisely in the same manner as paper. The wood is wet when used, and really works easier than paper, because it is much more tough and pliable. In these days, when variety is sought for. one can finish the walls of his house in different woods, to suit his taste. One room can be finished in bird's-eye maple, another in chesnut, another in cherry, another in whitewood and so on. Thus he has no imitation, but the real, genuine article upon his walls. The eye tires of' set figures, such as we have in ordinary paper-hangings, but never of nature itself. The longer the wood hang- ing remains on the wall, the more distinct will be the grain and color of the wood. The expense of wood is less than paper. Of course if one wants to make a very handsome room, he can use expensive wood like rosewood; but the ordinary kinds, some of which are very handsome, are very cheap. The walls of kitchens and common rooms can be covered in this way so as to make the expense very small. The wood can be oiled, varnished. or shellacked, and then washed at pleasure, and thus kept perfectly clean It will not crack or split when using. and when on the walls stands like solid work. Rooms have been lined with wood hang- ings, and expo~ed to the strongest heat from common stoves, Without the slight- est sign of'peeling off or warping. The article when ready for use is very thin, and a leg measuring twenty-four inches in diameter, would make 125 rolls, con- taining thirty six square feet each. One machine will shave two rolls per minute. By pannelhng with different kinds of wood, a room may be finished in elegant style and made to correspond with the furniture. For example, if the furniture is chestnut. with black walnut trimmings, the walls could be hung with the same kind of wood Thus all tastes could be gratified and parties who may use this kind of hanging will find that it Will stand very much longer than paper, and [will improve by age.” He told me what I have told you, with a clearn-ess and tninuteness of' detail that at first sight seemed :suspic-iou. It is the business of' nous autres to suspect everything, ,you know; and his looked not a, lime like a preconceraled account-L a role-got by heart. I listened to my man without a word of interrupt~ ‘Ition. watching his face narrowly» all the time he was speaking from under my invaluable. lunetts. When he had finished, I put to him one or two of those questions in which an unwary criminal finds loopholes for retractation- or specious exnluna- lion. Chardon made no attempt at either. Notably. when 1 suggested to him that he might perhaps have left the key of his apartment in the door, in which case any one might have entered the room. his answer was 11 might have been so, but that he could not be sure whether he had withdrawn the key or not. He had certamlv removed it. but pre- occupied with the strange thoughts which the sight of the boniird had so unaccountany awakened in him, it was quite posstble thtnt.alter all, he had merelv replaced it in the kevhole, where he had indeed discovered it in the morning; yet his impre3sion was that it was not there when he went to bed. To be continued. A SUBSTITUTE FOR HOUSE PAPER‘ l He dressed hastily and went out At the 9nd. of the first street he saw the red‘ light which marks our: police stations yet burning before a, house. He made for it without hesitation, rang the bell, and asked; to see the eomtnissaire on a press- ing matter.

In another 5 minutes, said Moniseur Gerfaul, relreshing; himself at this point of his story with a liberal wallowance of his. favorite stimulant â€"â€" in another- five minutes, Leupold Chardon and I stood lace to lace, and my part in the drama may be said- to have- com men emf. the part of Frere Anselme in the story he had told the night belure. Yes, but the monk might have real- ly hated his superior, while he pas- sionately loved his Victim. Would: not that love have availed? to keep him, even in an access of somnam- bulism, from doing harm to her ?’ Surele But then, who could have done this but hitnsell?
