Toronto, Dec. ‘2, 1859. 594 An extraordinary case of suicide has lately occurred in Paris. In this coun- try a nice legal point might occur as to whether it was a suicide at all. At all events, the remarkable circumstan- ces of the case are to be investigated by the Academy of Sciences in Paris. They are as follows :â€"â€"A young man of the name of Geupil,» living with his wife and mother, kept z). jeweller’s shop in the Rue Langieij, where they all lived comfortably and prosperously to- gether. Six months ago M. Goupil lost his young Wife, to Whom he was tenâ€" derly attached. Her death, it is sup- posed, affected his brain ; at all events for the first time in his life he took to sleep ,walking, this practice arising from a. peculiar, and, indeed, affecting cause. He was in the habit of putting around his necl: a gold link neck-lace, of which his wife was very fond. Every day he declared that this neck- lace became smaller and smaller, and eventually it would strangle him, a consummation he devoutly wished. N 0 one regarded these forebodings, as they were considered merely the off- sliring of a mind diseased. He used, however, under the influence of som- nambulisrn, to rise in the middle of the night and go to his work table. ‘There he cut off one of the links of the chain and joined those that were sep- eratcd, and was seen doing so by his ‘ mother, who for superstitious fears did not like to interfere. The other mornâ€" l ing he was found dead in his room. He ‘had cut off so many links that he icould only buckle the chain round his ‘t‘m‘oat by unnuturally compressing it. ‘When the throat returned to its nor- l 11ml size the chain strangled him. A blow aimed at the child must strike through the Very heart of the mother. Imagine, then, the agony en- dured by the heroine of the subjoined incident; A little girl, while playing on a railroad track, get her foot so wedged in a frog that she was hold fast. Her mother saw the predica- ment, and heard an approaching train. She ran to the rescue of her child, but could not extricate the foot. "The train came on, and although the engineer apâ€" plied the brakes, it was clear enough that it could not be stopped quick enâ€" ough. 'The mother, finding that the girl could not be less than maimed, held her as far off the track ‘3 she could while the cars went by. A foot was crushed, but a life was saved. According to the Academy, Damas- cus is quite severely injured by thesuc- cess of the Suez canal, through the loss of a large amount of trade that was formerly carried on with the Mos‘lem pilgrims who halted there to recruit their strength, and to obtain what pro- visions they wanted for their journey over the desert.

SANDERSON, THE KSNG 0F OILS F. WHITLOCK, “'M. MALLOY, D. u. O’BRIEN, Poor Mother‘ 8. JAMES, H. MUSTARD, Proprietor, Ingersoll Unfortunately for myself and every- body who ever saw me, I am very beautiful. It is not egotism to make that remark, for I have had plenty of mishaps on account of my looks, and every ill that can befall a. family has been laid to the score of “ Frank’s ter- rible appearance.” When I was a child everything went wrong. Once on a ferryâ€"boat a. young and lovely lady, petting and talking to me, became so interested that she quietly backed off the edge, and only the presence of mind and daring of her husband res- cued her in a very damp and choking condition. Nurse scolded, mamma raised her hands in horror, and the lady gave me the name of “ Lorlei,” which I have ever since retained. 1 was a continual source of anxiety lest I should be kidnapped by some childless people, and made into a cir- cus‘rideroran heiress. My life was miserable, with the guard set around me, to say nothing of a dozen or two toilets a day, my hair to becomth and brushed incessantly, and myself kissed and fondled like a lap-dog. It grew no better, later. My sisters happened to be very plain, and I couldn’t help it if [ got all the invitations, bouquets, and proposals, and they received none. To make it worse, one of my admirers died of heart. disease, and left me the large fortune that should have gone to his sisters; and then they loved me ex- Cf ‘sively, of course I ' I combed my hair in the moat horriâ€" ble way 1 could invent, wore stiff col- la-rs up to my ears, plain dressess of sober color, made faces at myself in the glass by the hour, and all to no purpose. M, hair would turn into the cunning- est little ringlets tbout my forehead, and fall down in a golden mass of curls just at the wrong time. The neck above the ueg linen no amount of sun could make other than white and well- turned ; and the clumsy dress hid a form of the most perfect mouldâ€"state- ly, smooth and rounded as only a healthy English girl can ever hope to be. I couldn’t have any girlfriends, for, without meaning it, I captured their lovers; they grew jealous and called me names ; and the attachment usual- ly ended in a storm of tears and re- proachcs on the one part, dismayed re- pentance on the other. I couldn’t have a gentleman friend, for, if single, he proposed in a month, and if married, the wife came to the rescue, and I got the Worst of it. I tried one plan, and you shall have the result: I cut my hair of? nearly close, and mercy me Iâ€" I had done the business; I was hand- seiner than before! I looked a very picture of mischief, my hair curled tighter than ever, and my eyes would dance, spite of all the sober books I read, and all the sad things I tried to think of. I took Aunt Hetty into my confidence, one day when she came to the city to buy some furniture for her country house, and promised that as soon as her sons started for school, I would be with her to spend the sum- mer. I made my preparations secretly, and cnly on the day of \my departure asked and received permission to go unwatched and alone. Used to my freaks, Inamma asked no questions, but, gave me some advice-â€"“ to wear a thick veil in the ears, not to takemy gloves off, and not to wink at any one.” As though I ever knowingly did wink ! My own sisters would not have known the little brown mouse of a girl that sat so demurer in ,the car on its way to Rookbridge. I had ordered a wig made of bright red hair, and it was a. very marvel in its way. Short, Crisp, fiery curls covered my head close- ly, well down on the neck, and twin~ ing lovineg around md cars. A dress of waterproof of. the most ungraceful out and make, green glasSes, shoes and gloves two sizes too big, and. with the exception of mouth and complexion, I was hideous. Aunty would not believe that it was myself, until I had shown her my eyes, and Spokeuto her several times. Thereawas not a soul on the place that had overseen me, except aunt and uncle ; and as .thfey called me- “Lorlei,” the servantS‘never suspected that I was the Frank Morrison they had heard so much of ’frofii'the young masters. There were few neighbors and I rather avoid- ed them. For the first time in mylife I was ugly, and consequently happy. I rode the horses, sat on the barnyard fence during the milking, fed the chickâ€" ens, ate apples and new butter, took long walks in the woods, and my big feet and scarlet hair never invited a second glance from any one I passed. What happy, jolly days they were to me, only those who are blessed with too much beauty and long to flee from the consequences can imagine. 4“; NEW YEAR’S ‘WESH A SECOND LORLEI.

RICHMOND HRLL, ONTARIOQCA’N‘ADA,‘ FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1875‘ “ Well,” he finally said, stopping to laugh at every word or fiwo, “ you have succeeded in your laudly expyessed wish, and made a. veritabkfl'fiérlei ’ of yourself.” 1 “ Did you hear me 2” i asked, feeling for the first time a. little shy, and rising slowly to my- feet. (He saw that I could not come out of illewater in my bare feet, and laughing still, he answer. ed : “ Yes. But I. fear you will continue a. water-nymph until I am gone; so good-bye.” And as suddenly as he had come, he disappeared. ‘ One i‘noniing I tool: a bowl-z, :uial g“;â€" ing through the orchard, followed the the stream to a. favorite nook, lay down, and laughed the pretty, musical laugh that was at once a pleasure and‘a bane. I laughed to think of myself in this rig in an opera-box; and, looking» at the water, I said, "' \Vliy not be a real ‘ Lorlei’ for a while T’ No sooner thought than done: ()1? caxiie the clumsy shoes and knitted stockings, and holding my dress up I went‘splash- ing in the shallow Waters. I, stepped on a big stone ; it rolled withme, and I sat down cosily in the middle of the brook, wet to my waist, mid my disâ€" may finished by the he‘aytiest laugh you can imagine. Lookingnt a, part of the bank that I had not before noticed, I saw a gentleman, in sporting dross, holding a fishing-rod in one hand and waving the other at me in the most genial and pleasant manner. It might have been that my eyes did not match my hair 3 at any rate, I fancied that he stopped laughing rather suddenly. and coming close down to the water stood eyeing me inquiringly. I had been angry at first ; but my usual sense of humor came to any aid. ~ and sitting there, ,with the lapping water full about me, I held my sides, and laughed with him until I was tired, and my cheeks glowed like two roses. ' I put on my shoes, and made the best of my way back to the house. Aunt Hetty laughed at me when I told her of my adventure, but stared whcm I described the man. I made myself look as countrified as possible next morning, and my looking glass told me that I was no longer even passable. Mr. Gray made no remark about my appearance, except to ask if the glasses were absolutely necessary, and on my gravely assuring him that they were, he helped me into the carri- age, and away we went. How I en- joyed the glances the girls gave me, and their evident contempt for my dress and manner ! I found myself alone with Mr. Gray, toward the end of the afternoon, and we sat down on the moss at the foot of a tree for what I called a good talk. - His manner had been per- fectly kind and courteous, and he had done everything in his power to make me forget the difi'erence between myself and the pretty country girls I had met. After a little I forgot my part, and letting the glasses fall unheeded in my lap, I pulled ofi’ the yellow cotton gIOVes I had worn- all day, and lying backward, clasped my» hands above my head, contentedly. After a minute he said : “ Bless me, child,” she said, “ it is \Valt-er Gray, who lives on the next farm, or rather owns it, and lives in New York. I did not know he was at home.” The days flew by on golden wings ; every one seemed more happy than the last. I took anxap'ronfut of peaches and a book {many days» in th’lmm- mock under the elm for a lazy time one morning. I was scarcely settled when I heard auntie calling me, and then steps coming near to me. I raised my- self, and who should be with her but that Walter Gray 1 He laughed heart: ily on recognizing in my aunt’s niece the “ water-nymph,” but soon made me feel at ease by his courteous and merry manner. He had come over to see if he could buy a cow of uncle, and over the merits of butter and milk we grew quite friendly. Auntie would have him to stay to lunch, and I tried to enact the country girl, and be as awkward as possible. Two or three times I almost betrayed myself by some unguarded remark ; but by dropping my fork, upsetting my milk, and knock- ing my chair over when I rose, I man- aged to seem ill-bred enough to suit my course frock, absent collar, and tum- bled hair. To my utter astonishment, Mr. Gray asked me to go to a picâ€"nic at the schoolâ€"house the gext day. W’hile I was staring, first at him; and then‘at myself in the';-§lass,.A11nt Hetty quiet- ly said, “She will go with pleasure.” I was ready to beat her, but beyond a few muttered words, I said nothing un- til he was gone. Then I made a few remarks tox’hor which made her look so sorry, that I kissed her a'nd promised to go peaceably. Following his glance toward the house on the other side of the road, 1 lazil y answered : Miss Lorlei, what are youT Hide- ous and lovely at the same time; an uneducated country girl firing Shaks- peare at me‘ in that style. You wear these green-glasses all the time, and yet I have noticed you can see much tar- ther and better without them. You have the most exquisite hand I have ever seen, and your feet are large enâ€" “ Maggie Thornc is entirely thrown away on that old man. \Vhat a life for a bright, fair woman to live, shut away in that quiet house." “ Imperial Caasar, dead and turned to clay, Might stop a hole to keep the wind away‘ ’ ough for a man. You bow'like an em» press, and tumee over your, dress" the Q. next minute. I can’t; understand you ” “ Do you like this awkward, ugly, clumsy, red-haired girl l” I finally manâ€" aged to ask, with a long-drawn breath of satisfaction. “ I promise,” came the voice I was waiting for. Vith trembling hands I took out the pins, unfastened the elas‘ tic which held my red wig and pulling it ofi‘, turned his face toward me. He looked as though he had seen a ghost, and stared at the red hair in my hand and the golden on my head, in mute as- tgnishment. “ Yes, its mine,” I said, answering his look; and I pulled one of the short curls hanging 0V0. uy eyes. “And I can dance and sing. and play the piano, and I love Shakspuare l” I could get no further, for rem IS lovers can perâ€" haps explain 5 and when, an hour after in my pretty white rufl‘ies and woman- ly finery, I crept into the sitting-room, I found Aunt Hetty talking to Walter, and saw him gravely kiss he): hand as she came toward me. \Vhen I saw the light in his eyes as he looked at me for the first timé in my life I thanked God for my glorious beauty._ _ 'I saw him very often in the next two xxionths, and learned to,like-him Very much-for his kindness £0 Lnxy awkward self. How much I liked him I scarce- ly know, until a letter from mamm'a came, saying fhfi' aum‘merSW'as ,lohg over and people ‘wore growing very curious as to my whereabouts. With a cold, Sick feeling“ in my heart, I took the letter in my hand, and went through the orchard to the place where I had played “ Lorlei ” for the benefit of Walter Gray. Bitterly I regretted my masquerade, for I thought he could never ‘be brought to like the red-haired, clumsy girl he had pitiod and been kind, to. I lay on the grass crying, holding in my hand some of the dead leaves lying all about me, and. thinking. hoinke my own hopes they were. ‘HOWflo‘hg I lay there I do not know, till some one dropped on the grass by me, and a cool, soft; hand held my own. “ Your auntsays you are going away Lox-lei ; going away to be‘educated, and taught many things it is right for you to know; I dare not‘ let: you go, little one, until ‘I ask if you will think of yourself as my own Lorlei,' and try to become as graceful outwardly as your pure, good heart and natural abilities will let you. I hm'e learned ‘to love you very much, and you will let me hope, will you not 2” For all answer. I lay quiet, looking up in his face, and thinking how nice it was, and fearing to break the spell by showing him my real self. “ Stop the adjectives,” he said, closâ€" ing my mouth gently with a caress (and .how flat]. I was my mouth; was pretty.) “ At times you are more graceful than any one I ever saw, and as for the hairâ€"7’ . I sat up eagerly, and asked : “ You like yellow hair, don’t you '2” “ Yes," he said, wondering at my eager look and manner. .“ Turn your head away, and promise not to look,” I said, turning his head so that he could not see me. There was a grand time when I went home, and for a. While my “ unfortun- ate appearance ” ceased to be the genâ€" eral theme of conversation. “Crying! water-nymph?” and be- fore I knew it I found myself close held my two strong arms, and a (16an Voice speaking to me. The mOSt popular of the thirteen periodicals published in Tokio has a Circulation (£15,000 Copies. My first anxiety, when nurse brought me my little Fannie to look at, was whether she was pretty. I need not have troubled myself. Her nose is flat, her mouth is wide, and only her blue eyes and sunny temper keep her from positive plainness. She has re- lieved me from all fear of perpetuating the race of “Lorleis.” From the Aldine for January, The mantle of charity ought to be thrown around the faults of our fellow- beings. “Thy sins be forgiven thee ” should be the answer for us to give to those who have sinned against us and wish to be taken back to our bosom and be as they once were, pure and sin- less. Forgive and forget ; memory will not let us forget, but it is in the power of exalted human benevolence. Saddening scenes will often press them- selves upon our attention, even when we do the best to prevent them. So scenes of harmony between ourselves and our human relations will arise in the soul, notwithstanding the presence and influence of that principle of Christian charity which should inspire every human soul with divine efi‘ul- gence. Yet memory, however faithful to her trust, will not prevent us from being lenient toward the faults and follies of others, and to forgive their departure from a true life. “I don’t know What you mean by Shakspeare, and you need not insult my feet 5' I can’t help their éize. \Vhat made you bring me, if only to team?” And without further ceremony Ilkaitl him, more mystified than ever.

Mrs. Sones then confessed thatthe smell of a cigar had such an effect on her that she Was always “laid up for days afterward.” J onfes doesn’t smoke in the house. Mrs. Jones told Jones that he musn’t give up his club be cause ’he married; she wouldn’t hear of sucha thing; he must enjoy him- self andbe as free as ever. Jones rath- er liked this, but when after a week or two of married life he proposed visit- ing the club, he found that to do so would endanger Mrs. Jones’ sanity, if not her life. She didn’t mind him going, but she had never stayed alone in the house by herself. She couldn’t call thelservant in to sit with her, that would never do ; but it didn’t matter, Jones must go, only he must promise that he wouldn’t be frightened if he found her in a fit when he returned ; she didn’t know that she would have a fit, but she might have one. Jones gave up the club. Now Jones, co-operatiVe-ly with Mrs. Jones is raising quite a large family; he has four children. The other day Jones remarked that he should be ob- liged to get a new business suit, as the clothes he were were looking seedy. Mrs. Jones said by all means Jones should have a new suit of clothes, and she begged he would not bother him~ self because she had no spring dress, and the carpet in the front rdom was not fit to be seen, and Harry and George both wanted new suits and new boots; they could go Without these things, “ papa must have his nice new clothes.” rl.‘he Parisian police recently arrested a. man of Polish Origin for endeavoring to pass off a quantity of Russian notes. He was about thirty years of age, and had been flitting rapidly through the towns and villages, accompanied only by a large mastifi', which never left him. When apprehended, he assumed an air of injured innocence, asserting that he was an honest dealer in imita- tion jewelry, producing a box of sam- ples, and growing more and mere defi- ant as the strict search of his personal apparel proceeded without bringing to light anything to inculpate him. At length his captors, Iairly nonplussed, were on the point of dismissing him, when one of them observed that she mastifl', which had remained at the door, had On his neck a collar of un- wieldy thickness. 0n taking it off, it was found to be hollow, and stuffed with counterfeit notes to the amount of three hundred pounds. 1n the face of such proofs the man ceased to deny the fact imputed to him, but began to moralize on the unfairness of Provi- dence in apportioning the prizes and blanks of his profession, whose chiefs and magnatcs invariably came of soot free and millionaires, whilst the toiling underlings and drudges like himself had the prison and hulks for their pains. He claimed that the world owed him a living. Unfortunately for his comfort, however, he was alone in his opinion, and the course of justice was not divert- ed from its legitimate channel. Jones did not buy any clothes, and he has a. hole in his right boot which he strives to conceal by inking his stocking when it shows through. Jones used not to go to church before he was married. He goes now twice every Sunday. Mrs. Jones said she could go alone well enough ; she did not midd what all her friends and re- latives would say if her husband did not accompany her; though she must confess that to hear her Albert, spoken of as these people-â€"“ all good people in their way" but severe,”â€"â€"would speak of him, would make her feel as if she never could lift up her head again. Mrs. Jones is always ready to give in her will to her husband’s. He has only to say that she is wrong and she Will give in in a minute. She does not mind suffering. If he wants to have the window open, she doesn’t say he shan’t, she only reminds him What a cold she caught; two weeks ago through the window being opened, but after all it didn’t last long and didn’t matter. Mrs. Jones is not the only submis- sive Wife who manages by submitting to get her own way in everything, But still Jones is happy, and such a thing as a. quarrel is a. rarity in the Jones domicile. “ Wives submit yourâ€" selves to your husbands. Take exam- ple by Mrs. Jones.” Very soon after lie-married, J ones, who is very fond of a cigar after din- ner, and likes' to smoka it while lying on the sofa, asked his wife if she mind- ed it. Mrs. Jones, with a smile, said, “ Never mind me, dear, smoke." “I do mind you, dear,”: replied Jones. “Tell me, will it annoy you 2” SO. I) Mrs. Jones says she: hates those wo~ men who are alvi’ays crying out; for their rights. She is happy and Con- tefibed to submit her will to her him- band’s, as it is a wife’s duty todo.
