But it was now far too late in the day to indulge in such thoughts as these. She was going to marry the Comte de Chagny, amid- dle-a. ed youn man of sporting proclivities and iminishe fortune, who had lived every year of the twenty that had elapsed since his first introduction to Parisian society. She was going to marry this easy-going, rather broken-down entleman, who had fallen in love with her eautiful face, and very much in love with her money bags, and with whom she, for her part, was assuredly not in love at all. once with the Princess Beatrice at the London Hospital was the occasion of a general holiday in London. PRINCE LnoroLn, who is said to be as mu- sical as his brother Alfred, has accepted the presidency of the Albert Hall Amaetur Ore chestral Society during the Duke of Edin- burgh’s absence from England.

M. de Chagny still relates the story of his adventure with the brigands of Amalfi, and the romantic generosit with which one of these rascals, dazzled by the beauty of the celebrated Vannini, made an appointment with her for the purpose of restoring her her diamonds. “It was a veritable Claude Du- val affair,” says the Count, “and is one of the most amusing reminiscences of our de- lightful Italian journey; but we have not been back there since; and as for my wife, she Seems to have taken the country in hor. ror. motioned me to et into the carriage again.

VIRTUE without talent is a. coat of mail without a sword : it may indeed defend the wearer, but will not protect his friend. HONOR is like the eye, which cannot suffer the least impurity Without damage; it is a precious stone, the price of which is lessened y the least flaw. THERE is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but Of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thous- and tongues. They are messengers of over- whelming grief, of deep contrition, and of un- speakable love. OUT of the heart, not out of the brain, are the best issues of life. And many a one who has not been able to find God, or to construct any satisfactory doctrine concerning Him, through speculations Of the intellect, has found Him by the path of that old beauti- tude, “ Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” They have seen Him, not as a visible being, standing before their outward eyes, nor comprehended Him, perhaps, as an infinite person by their intellectual faculty, but found Him in the inner consciousness of their hearts, through the vitalizing impulses of that energy of goodness which is the fulfil- ling of every law of duty. Sonnow sobers us and makes the mind enial. And in sorrow we love and trust our riends more tenderly, and the dead become dearer to us. And just as the stars shine out in the night, so there are blessed faces that look at us in our grief, though before their features were fading from our recollection. Suffering ! Let no man dread it too much, because it is better for him, and it will help to make him immortal. It is not in the bright, happy days, but in the solemn night, that other worlds are to be shining in the long distance. And it is in sorrowâ€"the night of the soulâ€"that we see the farthest, and know ourselves natives of infinity, and sons and daughters of the Most High. THE singing hearts are ever a blessing unto themselves. A song is jo giving. He who can sing sweetly in the un rtone Of his inner nature carries a rare pleasure with him all ways. Hard things appear to him easy; heavy burdens seem light; sorrow knocks often, it may be, but oftengoes away, seldom enters. And when it does enters, when the clouds come and the sunlight is hidden, when she soul walks down into the night and sees never a star ; what then ‘2 Ah, then treblybles- essed isthe singing heart. If it can sing psalms at such a time the stars will shine. Dawn will quicker come, the sunlight the sooner reap- pear. â€"â€"â€"<â€"~â€"¢.>â€"->â€"â€"â€"Â¥ - The Vest Pockets.

When he had come to the last words he rammed his hat down over his eyes, and set off with rather an unsteady step, to walk home. At his own door he met Old Antonio, who accosted him with a pleasant inquiry as to whether he had heard from his ladylove. The next moment Bottiglia found himself lying on his back in the street, and, on picking himself up, with much impropriety of language, caught a limpse of Luigi entering his own house, the oor of which he shut and locked behind him. And that was the last Sorrento ever saw Of Luigi Ratfa. And now, Signora, linust CHAPTER IV.

A cosrnRMONGER meeting one of his own fraternity the other day, whose pony might be considered as a sort of equine living skel. eton, remonstrated with the owner for not “ blowing out the hanimal’s hide,” as he very elegantly termed it, and asked him if he never fed him. “Never fed him 1 my eyes, but that's a good ’un,” was the reply ; “ why he's got a bushel and a-half 0’ cats at home now, only he am’t got no time to eat them.” A SAN FRANCISCO correspondent writes that the ladies of that city are great specu- lators.

HERE is a fifty-year Old jeu d’esprit that is quite “as good as new.” A rich old gentle- man, Of the name of Gould, married a irl not yet out of her teens. After the wedding was over, he wrote the following couplet, to inform a friend of the “happy event ” : “ You see. In dear doctor, Though eig ty years old, A irl of nineteen ell in love with old Gould i” To which the doctor replied : -‘ A girl of sixteen May love Gould it is true ; But believe me, dear sir, It is gold without ‘ u !’ THAT was a very pleasant act Of Christian courtesy, when the bands in the St. Pat- rick’s procession ceased their playing while passing the Moody and Sankey meeting at the Hippodrome, New York. They were under no obligation to do this, and no great offence need have been taken had the music continued. Such things as this do more to promote true Christianity than whole col- umns of sectarian theological controversy. The Old song so s that “ Saint Patrick was a gentleman,” an it ought to afford satisfac- tion to every good Christian, whether Cath- olic or Protestant, to know of such a gentle- maiily proceeding as this on the part of those who honored his memory. > t O s ‘â€"â€"â€" A Lucrative Occupation. French rag-pickers may still amass fortunes it would seem. One of the fraternity recent- ly dying at Cannes, the relatives of the dead man, all very poor working people in the lowest class of life, and in the absence of a will the presumptive heirs to all his property made their appearance at Cannes, when, at their request and in their presence, the auth- orities proceeded with the execution of an inventory of all the effects held by the late rag merchant. The first day brought to light property in the shape of rent lists, mortgage titles, cou ons payable to bearer, shares of all sorts, bank notes, and gold and silver coin, to the amount Of three hundred thous. and francs. The second day the relatives, who could hardly realize or believe in their good fortune, had some more surprises. In- side a very insignificant piece of furniture they found an earthen pot filled to the brim with gold Louis d’ors to the amount of five thousand francs. In a cu board they also found a large quantity of c otli and packages of folded sheeting. On one of the inheritors calling on the notary to have them counted, he proceeded to unfold the packet of sheets, when out of one of them drop ed some papers, representing in rent titles anil shares another sum of ninety thousand francs.

Pnornsson LOVERING, of Cambrid c, has been able to demonstrate by aserieso exper- iments that an electric signal from Cambridge to San Francisco, thence by other lines to Canada, and back again to Cambridge, over a loop of wire measuring 7200 miles, can be made in about two-thirds of a second. It has also been demonstrated that, by the ocean cable, from Brest in France, to Duxbury, Massachusetts, messages were sent at the rate of 4000 nautical miles a second. THE King of the Belgians is erecting at Lackcn a rand winter arden close to the palace, which adds (3011811. erably to the effect of the whole building. This new garden, about eighty yards in diameter, is surrounded by a wall, and covered by a roof about one hundred and twenty feet in height, so skil- fully constructed as to need no so ort in the centre. The tallest trees will thus e allowed to push forth their boughs freely. The cost of the building is estimated at 2,000,000 francs. Mr. CHARLES MATHEWS, the actor, now in India, thought he would bring back to Lon- don an elephant, just to go to market On and for airings in the parks. But he found that the keep of an elephant is costly even in In- dia. At the present price of wheat flour, on which they are chiefly fed, the keep amounts to £80 or £90 a. year. The value of a thor- oughly first-rate one for hunting purposes ranges from £200 to £400. Of late years, since the government has ceased to capture them in the forests of Northern India, the supply has considerably fallen off, and the best place .to buy one is at the great annual fair at Song- poor, on the Ganges. THE other day Olive Logan went behind the scenes for a chat with Miss Kellogg, and found her, crect among the flowers which perfumed the air of her dressing-room, en- gcd in the process of being “undone ” by the hands Of her own dear loving mother. She has grown pretty since she first began singing in Cinciuatti. Such beauty as she had then was Of the irl-in-her-teens orderâ€"very scrawny and uh eveloped. She was admitted to have fine eyes, but a very uglymouth. But she has got a new mouth now, for noth- ing could be prettier than the rose and pearl- music-box w ence issue her true and certain notes. Her erst scrawny shoulders have de- veloped into the plump ripeness of rich young womanhood, and her round arm is fit for a. sculptor’s modeling. Those opera-goers who remember how doctors certificates excusing prominent singers have flecked the streets for years past will find it difficult to understand how Miss Kellog could have been thus for- tunate; but she Elias three treasuresâ€"a fine constitution, a determined spirit, and a lov- ing, protecting, and watchful mother. Of this same mother a chapter might be writ- ten. She is the power behind the throne. A helpful, sensible American womanâ€"an artist with the pencilâ€"who is always at her daugh- ter’s side to help and cheer, to sustain and encourage. The “ mother-love ” never had a more eminent exponent, and Clara Louise Kellogg is as much a “ mother-girl ” as was that angelic J o in Little Women. AT the recent Opening of Parliament by Queen Victoria, the first time in several years that she has assisted at that ceremoni- al, brings out by a. writer in the Liverpool Albion these facts in relation to the Queen’s crown: “One gem at least in the crown which was borne before her Majesty on Tues- day is of great antiquity and of high historic interest. The large sapphire, the partial drillin of which suggests that it may have former y figured in the turban Of some East- ern sultan, was purchased, it is true, by George IV. ; but in front of the diadem, and in the centre of a Maltese cress of diamonds, is the famous ruby given to Edward the Black Prince by Pedro, King of Castile, after the battle of Najera, A. D. 1367. This ruby was worn by Henry V. in his helmet at Aaincourt. The gem is pierced right through. Otherwise, albeit each particular diamond, ruby, emerald, and pearl in the dazzling galaxy may have its own pedigree and le- gend, no authentic record of the crown jewel has been preserved, and Queen Victoria’s crown, structurally speaking, is a very modern affair indeed. The famous crown of Sir Robert Vyner, which the crazy woman mutilated in 1815, served at the coronation Of Wm. IV. ; but as it weighed more than seven pounds troy, it was decided that the ponderous gewgaw should be broken up, and that a. new and permanent crown imperial should be fashioned. The new crown is con- structed out of half a dozen by-gone insignia of regality which were broken up in 1838, and which included the diadem worn by Mary of Modena, by Queen Caroline and Queen Charlotte as Queens Consort, and that assumed by Mary II. and Anne as Queens Regnant. Thus the British crown may, as a comparatively new thin made out of very ancient materials, be he d to present a suf- ficiently striking likeness to the British Con- stitution, which has itself been broken into ver small ieces, which has been patched an mende , enlarged and renovated, over and over again.” It may be mentioned that since 1871â€"the last time the Queen opened Parliamentâ€"until the past month she had appeared only twice in public : on the oc- casion of the thanksgiving for the recovery of the Prince of Wales, and when the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh entered London after their marriage. ~â€"fl_..>_.....____, The Wrong Man. It was a very embarrassing circumstance, and it happened at a hotel in Ripon. A man and his wife was stopping there. The man was subjects to severe attacks of colic, and was taken sick there in the night. He told his wife that he must have immediate relief or he could not live, thought a mustard draft would relieve him. She hastily robed her- self, went down stairs and found the watch- man, who admitted her to the dining room, and she spread the mustard from a. caster on her handkerchief, and hastened up stairs. Finding the door ajar she rushed in, turned down the bed clothes, and slapped the mus- tard draft on the unconscious man’s bowels. He instantly sprang up in bed and in a strange voice said : “ y: goodness, madam, what are you doing ‘3” S e had got it on the wrong man.
