A gray mule, well put together for an animal of the kind. The rotundity of form which distinguishes the well- fed mule was lacking. A bite of grass here and there, an occasional thistle head, a nibble at a passing load of hay, may blunt the edge of hunger, but will not produce plumpness nor good nature. He had wandered from home, this mule â€"â€"started out with a desire, perhaps, of visiting strange towns, meeting with strange adventures, and of seeing the world.

Down the streetâ€"around the corner â€"â€"thc gas-light playing for a moment on his faded coatâ€"and the mule crowded close to the fence and peered over with hungry eyes at the juicy green grass.

In the parlor sat the lovers. She was beautifulâ€"he was worth 500 shares of Lake Shore stock, and was interested in a bridge contract where there was a chance for a splendid grab. He loved, and he trusted that she reciprocated. He had come prepared to announce his love, and she blushed as she read the fact in his eyes. “ My dear Isabella,” he commenced, as he tenderly pressed her soft fingers, “I think you "â€" f‘ Cree-haw I Gee-haw I" roared the wayward mule, rendered melancholy by the sight of the beautiful supper just beyond his nose. .The fair Isabella sprang up in alarm, and it’was several minutes before the young man with Lake Shore stock could quiet her. “ It is nothing but a mule,” he ex- window; and he scowled darkly at the wanderer, and made threatening ges- tures. She sat down again, and the painful silence was at length broken by his “ I have to-day been analyzing my feelings toward you, and I find thatâ€"” “ Oâ€"h I how-haw, geeâ€"hawâ€"ugee-hawl” announced the homeless, liouseless He saw ucred as mules hunger. “ It’s that beast again I” whispered Lake Shore stock, as the fair Isabella uttered a little shriek of alarm. He went to the window and ordered the gray-haired outcast to move onâ€"to leave that locality without any unne- cessary delay, and secure standing room on the common. They sat down again. He had some- thing of interest to communicate, and she had a curiosity to know what it was. Minutes ticked away before he looked into her lustrous eyes again. He thought he saw the light of love shining brightly, and he stole his arm along the sofa and said : “You must have seenâ€"you must know, that I â€"” “O-h-h I gee-geeâ€"ah-ha I ah-ha I” came a voice from beneath the window. It was not the voice of a drifting sailor, going down to a dark, deep grave after a gallant struggle for life. It was not the voice of a lost child crying out as it stumbled through the darkness, longing for the strong arms of a father to en- fold it. It was the voice of the old gray mule, quavering strangely as hunger brought up recollections of corn cribs and timothy hay. A smile flitted across her face. The human soul is so constructed that one may smile at a victorious, cxultant champion, or at a downcast, discouraged mule. Lake Shore stock approached the window again, and as he brandished his fist in the air, he warned the intruder to dissolve in the dim distance, under penalty of being found dead with a sev- ered jugular.

A French Tragedy. The London Times’ correspondent writes to that journal on May 26 :â€" “A terrible story has just been un- folded at the Assize Court of N imes. I will tell it as briefly as I can. A Spaniard called Jaime Sancho had for many years lived with his wife at Beaucaire. The husband was a chif- ious and honest, they enjoyed an ex- cellent reputation and were esteemed by all who knew then. By dint of hard work they managed to save a sum of nearly 8,000 francs, with which they purposed to return to their native place, ’I‘arragona, and there buy back a little property which had formerly belonged to the family. Last October, indeed, they had made a journey with this object, but, not being able to come to terms with the proprietor, they had return- ed to Beaucairc. While waiting for some good investment for their earn- ings, they hid the money in the house where they lived alone, in the Grand Rue. On the 27th of November, at 9 o’clock in the morning, they re- ceived a visit from a fellow country- man, who announced himself as one Jose Vaquc, and said he was sent by Sancho’s brother-in-law, named Pra- ty, to announce his arrival at Mar- seilles, and to say that his son had been arrested by order of the Span- ish consul, as wishing to avoid the conscription. Vaque further produc- ed a letter purporting to be from Praty, requesting his brother-in-law to come at once to his assistance at Marseilles, and asking him to receive Vaque as a friend. Sancho, thereâ€" fore, at once departed for Marseilles and left his countryman enstalled in his house. Vaque went out twice during the evening, and ten minutes after his return on the second occaâ€" sion, at about 8.30, the door-bell rang. Mme. Sancho was going down-stairs to answer it when a thick woolen covering was thrown over her head from behind by Vaque, and at the same time the house door was opened and asecond man entered. The new- comer at once rushed toward the un- fortunate woman, and commenced to beat her about the head and body with a bludgeon, Mme. Sancho, it should be added, being encez’nte at the time. The two rufiians next garrot- ed her and tied her hands together with a rope, and then her keys were taken from her pocket, the new-com- er saying to Vaque in Spanish, ‘ Hold her fast; I know where the money is.’ What was the poor woman’s horror to recognise the voice of her husband’s own brother, Francisco Sancho v. Carctta, whom she had left in Spain a month ago, and sup- posed still to be there. Evidently he knew of their money, and she remem- bered that he had asked them to lend him 2,000 francs, and had struck her on their refusal. She at once saw her terrible position, and that there was only one chance of escapeâ€"via, to keep perfectly still. This she did with marvellous self-possession while Vaque still held her, and Francisco Sancho was rifling the drawer where the money was kept. Not a word, not a groan escaped her lips, though she must have been in terrible pain. At last Francisco Sancho said, ‘ We have what we want.’ The wretch then drew a long Catalonian knife, and stabbed his sister-in-law with it six times successively. Still this really heroic woman played her diffi- cult part. Not a cry did she utter, nor give any sign of lifeâ€"not even when her brotherâ€"in-law put his hand to her heart and said, ‘She is dead.’ The ruffians then enVeloped their vic- tim in all the linen they could find, and hurriedly left the house. By a miracle not one of the knife thrusts was fatal, though they were aimed at the heart. The poor woman, faint and bleeding, managed to free herself from the linen and crawled to the bed, where her screams brought her no assistance for her room did not open on the street. In the morning assistance arrived, the alarm was given, and the assassins were arrested at Montpelier. At the trial Madame Sancho gave her evidence in the clearest way, and described the minâ€" utest details of the terrible scene she had undergone. M. Millet, a doctor, deposed that she had only escaped by what 1 have already called it above, a miracle. The jury found both pris- oners guilty, with extenuating cir- cumstances in favor of Vaque. San- cho was therefore condemned to death and Vaque to penal servitude for life. No one who reads these lines will assuredly wish that either of the senâ€" tences should be commuted.” -Oâ€"â€"â€"â€"â€"- Unselfish Reasons. â€"â€"Erlwin (lan- guishinglylâ€"I feel as if I could sit here forever, so long as you were with me. Angelina those nasty, odious people wouldn’t get in the way and prevent us seeing the race. Their selfish ways quite annoy me! Besides, if I don’t bet gloves, I shall have to buy some, as I’m right out of themâ€"so come alono'. A doctor went out West to practice his profession. An old friend met liim on the street one day, and asked him how he was succeeding in his business. “ First-rate,” he replied, “ I’ve had one bad case.” “Wellâ€"what was that I” “It was a birth I” said the doctor. “ How did you succeed with that I” “Well, the old woman died, and the child died. But, by the grace of God, I’ll save the old man yet I” And so could I, love, if Miscellaneous Items. The late John Harper left an estate of $4,000,000. A book is advertised entitled “ How to Grow Roses Out of Doors.” It may safely be conjectured that the doors in question should be made of rose-wood. A young man in California began to read a paragraph about a mine to his sweetheart, commencing : “ Yuba Mine ” when she interrupted him with z “ I don’t care if I do, John." “ Ah I” said a teacher, “ ah, Caroline Jones, what do you think you would have been without your good father and pious mother I” “, I suppose, mum,” said Caroline, who was very much struck with the soft appeal, “ I suppose, mum, as I should ha’ been a horphan.” An editor in Oregon recently an- nounced that “ all those who are in ar- rearage for the paper, by calling and settling the same can have the marks and brands of their hogs published gra- tuitously, otherwise they will be placed upon the black list, and their names published.” A Norwich business man riding on the cars to Utica, deeply absorbed in schemes of accumulation, after eating an apple, opened the car window, threw out his knife and stuck the core in his pocket. He did notdiscover his error until he tried to cut his finger nails with the apple stem. “I want it nice, and strong, and snug like,” said the widow, exhuming a fresh pocket handkerchief, and con- trolling her sobs with difliculty. “ Oh! that’s all right, ma’m, that’s all right,” returned the undertaker, tapping the coffin merrily; “he couldn’t get out of it, ma’m, if he had a mind to.” Juliaâ€"“ Oh, Carrie, I’ve got a new feller; perfectly splendid!

A French traveller, who is shortly to start for Africa in charge of an explor- ing party, is said to have contrived a novel way to improve the barbaric mind. He carries an electric battery in his pocket communicating with two rings on his hand, and with other up- paratus scattered about his person. When he shakes hands with a savage chief that chief will be very much as- tonished, for an electric shot will run up his arm, and he will see lightning playing about the head of his visitor. Veni, Vidi, Vici, are memorable words equally applicable to the now justly celebrated “ \Vanzer F” sewing machine, upon being thoroughly exam- ined by any practical and competent judge, as he is at once struck with its extreme simplicity, utility, and practic- ability, equally serviceable in the work- shop as in the family, and possessing so many valuable points that it is now being eagerly sought after in preference to the older American systems offered for sale in Canada.

The following conversation was over- heard the other day among a lot of school-girls, who congregated in front of a house. Each one in turn appeared to be holding up the domestic skeleton which ufliicted their several homes. One told 110w her little brother had broken his leg ; another about how sick her mother was, and still another about how drunk her father would come home every night. In short, they all ap- peared to have some grief to hold upâ€" all but one little beauty, who seemed only unhappy to think there was noth- ing that she could tell to excite the envy or sympathy of the rest. She listened to the recital of all these trou- bles as long as she could, and finally she expressed herself in this way : “ Well, girls, we all have our troubles. Some have sick brothers and drunken fathers and ugly mothers. Some of us have got the measles and small-pox and scrofula. VVe’ve got something awful in our family.” “What is it I” asked several. “ My little brother Benny is left-handed.” A negro revivalist named Andrew Coon is said to be as efl'ective with his own race, in Mississippi, as Moody and Sankey are with white peopleL He is a powerful fellow, physically and vocal- ly, and the scenes that attend his fervid exhortations are described as being the acme of religious excitement. A corre- spondent of the Cincinnati Commercial attended one of his meetings. After a harrowing sermon, that wrought the impressible hearers to intense feeling, he made the following admonition and appeal : “ Now, bredren and sisters, we want mounahs heah to-night. o foolâ€" in’.

What it costs to produce a first-rate beefsteak is not fully appreciatedby the ordinary meat-consuming English- man until he has attended a sale of pure-bred shorthorns from a famous herd. VVOrks of high art on four legs are rising in price almost as rapidly as those gems of oil painting whose sale has lately called forth the cheers of loungcrs and connoisseurs at Christie and Manson’s. Happily they are most easily reproduced or improved upon. There is very little cheering, however, at a shorthorn sale in agrazing county. Those who drive fat oxen, if not them- selves necessarily fat, are at any rate somewhat stolid, and not even that which seems to an outsider an astound- ing bid draws more than an apprecia- tive hum from the ring of spectators, which includes all ranks from the own- er of an unsurpassed herd to the com- mon drover. 1,050 guineas for a single heifer, Fifth Belle of, Oxford, exposed to more than the ordinary ills that ox- flesh is heir to ; 900 guineas for a others, Cherry Duchess 22nd and Cherry Duchess 24th, and 318 guineas as an average for the twenty-two cows sold, are prices which give a fair idea of the pitch to which shorthorn breed- ing is carried in these days of general high living. These were some of the figures at Lord Penrhyn’s sale at Wick- en on Tuesday; and, as the highest- priced animal was bought by a breeder who breeds for profit, it may be taken for granted that the prices given were not extreme as times go. Even cattleâ€" plague is forgotten in the quiet enthu- siasm of the moment, but the risks are not trifling , Lord Penrhyn himself having lost not long since a cow which he had given 950 guineas for only a fortnight before. The enormous imâ€" provement which has taken place in the last few years in all classes of beasts, notwithstanding the competition of breeders from all parts of the world, certainly justifies the determination to leave the breeding of horses to the same influence of patriotism or free trade. \Ve may yet find it advisable to buy back trotting stallions from America, as we have already repurchased more than one high-class bull. But of all such transactions the private individual is the best judge in the long run. At any rate, whoever has tried to puzzle through the intricacies of the herdâ€"book without previous knowledge is quite ready to allow that the breeding of first-rate bulls may have become a “ soience.”â€"â€"I’arll Illall Gazelle.

ResULTs Mrssus. stms It BOLTON, Chemists, Montreal, I wlllingly certify to the relief and perfect cure afâ€" forded me, contrary to my expectations, of a severe attack of Rheumatism, by the use of the Diamond Rheumatic Cure. Suffering with it for years, and with increasing severity in each succeeding year, I gladly availed myself of the use of the Diamond Rein- edy, with the result as above stated. I have conse- quently recommended it with equal success to several of my friends who have been similarly attacked with Rheumatism. JAMES GROVES, Sexton, Parish Church of Notre Dame. Proof After Proof. (From the .Mamtime Sentinel) Amherst, Nova Scotia, Jan. 28, 1874. We would call the attention of our readers to the Diamond Rheumatic Cure, advertised in another col- umn. We do this having some experience in themat- ter. Being slightly sceptical as to the results promis- ed, we purchased a bottle of the Cure for a friend of ours, who was much troubled in the shoulders and hands. Hardly three months have elapsed after using a single bottle, and she has not had a recurrence 01 rheumatic attack, although previously she suffered with it almost constantly. We scarcely could hope her to be cured from using only one bctile, In t it has convinced us that it is a sovereign remedy. We believe a couple more bottles will effect a permanent cure, and would urge our readers to give it a trial also. J. B. WOODLAND, Editor. HUNDREDS DAILY BEAR EVIDENCE.

RHEUMATISM Is a disease of the blood, and no substantial relief can be afforded without cleansing the blood from the fib« rln substances which obstruct thecirculation, causing inflammation and pain. ' The great success of the DIAMOND RIIEUMATIC CURE in curing this disease is owing to its power of converting the blood from its diseased condition to a healthy circulation, It also regulates the bowels which is very essential in this disease, and no onewill read the following statement, from a well-known Dart~ mouth gentleman, with more interest and pleasure than those physicians who have a real desire to benefit their suffering patients ; DARTMOUTH, N. S.'Scpt. 14,1874. Fonsrru 8: Co. Hallifax. Gentlemen :-â€"For the past two years I have been severely troubled with Rheumatism. I have suffered the most acute pain, and at times have been perfectly helplessâ€"being unable to walk, sleep, or even sit up. I have tried many physicians, and used numerous paâ€" tent medicines but I still continued to grow worse. It is now about four days since I commenced taking the DIAMOND RIIEUMA’I‘IC CURE, and the pain has all left me, and the use of my limbes is rapidly rc- turning. I bless the day that the DIAMOND RHEU- MATIC CURE was called to my attention. Gratefully Yours, WM. BRODIE.
