MY QUEEN.

I am a Frenchman; my name is Paul LeMoyne; my home is in Yarenne, where I was brought up by uncle, the ln the little home, within sight of the great mill-wheel, my aunt bustled about, with a white handkerchief round hqr head and a white apron covering her blue gown, from morning until night. Everything was clean and bright; everything was pretty. Mannette lived very near us. She was a little younger than I. She was a modest little creature. One could not call her pretty, though she had a good face and a neat figure. She was always pleasant, always goodhumored, always busy as a bee. No one could help liking her; but no one fell in love with her. She was, as I have said, not a beauty, and she was poor. She would have no portion. She could not afford fine dress and ornaments. Beside Marcelle she looked as a little brown house-sparrow looks beside some gay tropical bird. Marcello might have been a Queen. Her father was rich. She would have a portion worth counting when she married. She had all that beauty needs for its adornment. She had no cares, no anxieties, and •if Marcelle gave me her hand for the dance 1 was proud, and the other young men envied me. When I danced with Mannette it was out of kindness, because I would not slight a neighbor, a neighbor who had been so kina, too, for when I had the fever, which made everyone else fear to approach the house, Mannette came and nursed me, and, when 1 was better, never wearied of amusing me. “ 1 would thou wert my sister, little friepd!” I had said to her then. She answered: “ Call me sister; it will be the same.” But as I, looked at her I saw a strange, sad look steal across her face. “ Art thou weary with all thy watching, little sister P” 1 She smiled and shook her head, and said: “ No.” But 1 was troubled. * -

Oh! Mannette was pleasant, sitting at the flroside in the winter time knitting deftly and rapidly, the firelight glinting in her black eyes and on the black waves of her hair. She was full of chat then, and laughed merrily, and 1 liked to sit near her and' listen as I watched her fingers fly; but when we were in gay company I forgot her for Marcelle. Marcelle was beautiful and a coquette. Now she smiled on one, now on another. You never knew what to hope or what to fear. Mannette was, always the same. If she liked once, it was forever. I believe that I was in love with Marcelle, and I knew- that I—loved Mannette. The night that English folk call Twelfth-night is with us the Fete dcs Hois. On that night there was always a dance at Varenhe, and a large cako was baked. Targe enough for every man present to have a piece. In it was put a bean. Before the dancing began the cake was sliced and served; whoever received the slice in which the bean was placed had the right to choose the prettiest girl in th 4 parts, to be his Queen for all the time of the fete, to dance with her, to walk with her; in fact, to devote himself to her as entirely as he pleased. The man who drew the bean was called the King. Naturally he was envied by all the men and every girl was eager to be chosen. —ls I drew the -bean*-Marcelle shouldbe my Queen, and there would be an opportunity to say a few sweet words, ana pave the way; to what I meant to say one day; or, indeed, I might even thanaakherto be mywife. Who would not be proud of such aTbrldeP And she smiled very kindly on me. I dressed myself in my best, and looked among the potted flowers my qunt kept upon her window-sill for a flower for my button-hole. But there were no flowers of the colpr I wanted there. I knew Mannettehadsome; her flowers always bloomed bravely, and I ran down the road to the little nouse to ask for one. The door was open and I slipped in; All was-quiet.—The polished floor shone with the rubbing it had had, so thak.it reflected the., swinging cage-in which a canary bird fluttered and sang. Through the muslin curtains the golden sunlight fell upon the snowwhite walls. Every small pane in the diamond lattice was bright as a gem. The copper pans glittered. The. to wers bloomed in a row on the windowsill. Mannette had made her poor little home beautiful with the work of her * oWtrsmaH- hands. “But where was she? No matter. I would take a flower and tease her with the story of hpw a thief had entered her house. What I wanted was a scarlet geranium. There it was. its velvet petals glowing warm and bright amidst its

green leaves. I took out my knife And out it off. Then I went to the glass to arrange it in my coat, and, standing there, I heard a little murmur. Mannette was talking to some onedn the next room. Softly I thrust my head in at the door, which was ajar. It was a little bedroom, bare and white, save for an image of the Virgin. Before this knelt Mannetto, dressed in her poor best for the fete. Her back was toward me; her head was bowed; her hands clasped. She was praying: I heard her murmur: “ Have pity on me. Take this wicked jealousy from my heart. Let me not envy Marcelle her beauty and her wealth; and if they buy for her tho love I cannot win, because I am not fair, and am poor and without charms, let me not cherish evil thoughts. Oh,* help me, pity me, comfort me!” I heard her weep, and I stole away. Out in the open air I stood still. Something had come to that I did not yet understand. It was as when one born blind receives his sight for the first time. I went to the Fete des Rois. What a crowd was there! Around tho great hall, which was prepared for dancing, hung evergreen boughs and artificial flowers. The musicians had come. The girls were all on tip-toe with excitement, for now four men staggered'in, bearing the great cake amongst them. It was covered with frosting, and looked like a mound of snow. Pere Louis took the knife to cut it. How quickly the slices of e.ake flew from his hand to those most eagerly extended for them! Each looked earnestly at his cake. As he bit it some laughed,some scowled. But suddenly 1 felt between my lips something hard. I took it from my mouth. It was the bean. “Hurrah!” I cried. “I have it! I am King!” Then Pere Louis shouted: “Paul LeMoyne has tho bean; he is King.” Then there was silenee, and all eyes turned upon me and then upon the girls ranged in a row along the sides of the hall. At the head of the room stood Marcelle. On her face was a supercilious smile. . “ I shall be chosen,” it said; “ and it will be the King’s place to be pleased —not mine.” On the other girls’ faces I saw a look of expectation. Many believed they might be chosen Queen as soon as Marcelle. But, drawn apart in the shadow, her eyes cast down, her hands folded humbly together, I saw Maimette. She was sad, and she needed smiles to beautify heF. Her dress was plain; her hands bore marks of toil. No one dreamt that she might be the Queen, nor had she auy thought of it. The least beautiful of all the women there she stood that moment. But that which had come to me, and which I had not understood, came to me again. -I saw her as she sat by my bedside, nursing me in my fever. I saw her in the brightness of the home fireside smiling in my face. I saw her as she knelt in tears before the Virgin’s statue; and I forgot Marcelle. I crossed the long hall. I stood before Mannette. I took her hand and led her from the shadow. “ This is my Queen,” I said. And looking down I saw her face transfigured. God knows how it happened, but a beautiful woman looked up at me with eyes full of pure content. For all the Fete de Rois she was my Queen; and when it was over and we went home through tho still starlight, I asked her if she would be my Queen for all my life, and she made me happy by saying yes; for now I knew that what had come to me as I left her kneeling in prayer was love; and that ever in my eyes and to my heart Mannettc would be beautiful.

An Ingenious Jewel Trick.

For six years past a pair of adroit scoundrels have been working tho “ Empress’ jewels” triok in Spain with great success. They would write to a merchant in Paris that after the Revolution of 1870 the Empress Eugenie intrusted one of them with f L 600.000 worth of jewels to be carried tdlfadirid, which he had buried in the Bois de Boulogne. He was in Prison for debt, and could not get back to France, and to make matters worse, a rapacious landlord had seized his trunk in which was the map on which tap spot where treasure was buriod was marked with a red cross. In this cruel dilemma he applied to the French merchant, whom he had heard spoken of as a model of prudence and probity, to help him by sending the rapacious landlord 600 francs, and so getting possession of the trunk. The French merchant would then dig up the jewels and notes—for there were SBOO,OOO in bank bills in the buried box—and send them $o the prisoner, retaining the money he had advanced, and whatever sum he desired as recompense for his good action. A great many honest merchants sent on ((heir 600 francs, and in due course received advices from the Madrid office of the Messajerias entra Espan* y Francia that a trunk had been deposited there, which would be forwarded on payment of express charges. The honest merchant sent on the money, and that was the last of it. Sometimes, instead of being a French ollicer, it was an aide-de-camp of Queen Isabella, arrestod for plotting for the restoration of King Amadeus, who knew where the Queen’s jewels wore;, sometimes it was one of Don Carlos’ aids, sometimes a Turkish Pasha. At last, however, the swindlers were run to earth, and now the Parisian authorities have advertised for evidence against them, which is forthcoming in such abundance as to show that the swindle has been very widely worked and very generally successful.

Mr. Spurgeon on Discoveries.

In a recent sermon by Mr. Spurgeon from Gen. xxi:ll), “And God opened his eyes;” he observed that if the eyes of men were still further opened, the result would be very remarkable. The range of the natural vision of man, as well as the mental and spiritual, was limited, and when the range of any of those was enlarged, remarkable discoveries were made. By the aid of optical instruments man had his ideas enlarged and his natural vision magnified! He began to look into Nature —to peer into the very stars of heaven. Before the use of such instruments became known, men were not aware of the existence of several of the heavenly bodies. Many of the stars then were, though men knew not that they occupied places in the firmament. What grand discoveries were made—what a flood of light was thrown upon tho world, by Goa having opened, by His omnipotent power, the eyes of man! When, in the course of time, men turned the telescope on the nebula:, which were supposed to be various things, according to the different theories, and found them to be so many stars —so many separate worlds —with what awe and reverence must they not have been influenced. Equally marvelous were the discoveries through the microscope, without which we could never tell or imagine the grand wonders which exist around us. Without it we could not study, in the wings of the butterfly, a beauty, a grandeur, a symmetry, which the art of man could never rival, nor could we Serceive in the commonest objects of ature the great handiwork of God, in imitation of which, man, with all his boasted ability and geniiis, might in vain labor. Beside the scientific, if men’s eyes became opened in other departments remarkable facts would be discovered. To see one’s entire life would be to many a strange sight. Many traveled through life as through a mystery; and if they looked back forty, or fifty, or sixty, or perhaps seventy years, with their'eyes opened, what a vista for them! Childhood, early years, boyhood, manhood—how different would they all appear to what they seemed in their passage! The hard and tough battle of life, with all its discipline, the efforts to gain a livelihood, the losses met with the disappointments experienced, tne trials and afflictions born during those dark and gloomy days—all these man could not see as” having occurred for his benefit had he not his spiritual eyes opened by Divine power. Why, some might ask, was the son taken away, the family’s hope; why tho husband, when the father’s arm was needed, or the wife, when the mother’s care wasmost necessary? The reverend gentleman concluded by impressing upon his hearers that whatever had been done for them by their Lord was done for their benefit, as thoy would discover when their eves were sufficiently open to discern the fact.

His hair having been cut, and various offers of fancy soap, hair restorer, etc., having been declined, with and without thanks, the barber says unto him: “Will your hair do that way, sir?” The customer contemplates himself with care In the mirror, then, returning to the sacrificial chair and enveloping himself in the calico wrapper, replies solemnly: “ Just a leeile longer.” A man will brag. It may bo of his_ physical powers, nis proFoundwlsdotb, his morality, his depravity or even his sicknesses, violent cough, soro throat, and all that sort of thing. —Boston Transcript.

HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

- Rub a little soft soap on the crokkiug gate or barn-door hinges, and stop the unnecessary notoe and wear. —How do you know a good- farmer P It is by a well-ordered farm; well chosen stock; comfortable buildipgs; a neat and thrifty garden; a well-round-ed roadway; gates well hung; fences in good repair; shade trees und ornamental shrubbery well arranged; buildings painted without and whitewashed within; tools and implements painted and protected; and all the family cheerful.— lowa State Register. .—English race horses are fed on the best upland hay, Of which about six to eight pounds are given to each on the average daily, and from fifteen to twenty pounds of the best oats, in some cases beans being Substituted for the latter. The quantity of hay varies according to the constitution. The limit to the oats is the appetite, the trainer taking care to not quite satisfy the horse, which would produce satiety and disgust.— Exchange. —A young man starting out in farming cannot do a better thing than to plant an apple orchard if his land is within “ the apple belt.” Don’t rely on the gnarled and decaying old trees; the life of an orchard, under favorable conditions, is only about that of a man. Nothing will lift a mortgage, or run up the profit side of the account, like a prime orchard in its first years of bearing. Go for the standard varieties, or such as experience has proved do well in your locality and soil. Theories are good In their place; but a day spent in driving through your town aiid findally learned and done, is better. Get your trees from some reliable nursery —the nearer at hand the better—and use your own best care and other people’s experience in planting them.— N. Y. Times. —Many persons have remarked that, after having, as they supposed, protected roses and other tender plants with straw for the winter, they have come out from under the cover in many cases worse than those entirely exposed; and it is common to hear people with this experience say that protection is an injury. But in many epes the injury is not from the protection, but from the salt it contains. Fresh Btrawy matter from stable-yards is one thing and fresh straw from the barn another; and while straw is a benefit, rank fresh manure is an evil. For small things dry leaves with a little earth thrown over is excellent. Where the crowns of the plants are hard and woody, the earth itself drawn over a few inches is good; for larger things straw or even corn-fodder protects admirably, but should not be too bulky or twined round too tightly, or it may smother. But always beware of fresh strawy litter from the barnyard. Thousands of young plants, especially young evergreens, have been destroyed by it Germantown Telegraph.

Color of Farm Buildings.

Inpainting even a shed it is just as cheap and easy to give it a - pleasing color, as to make it a blemish on the landscape. Barns and other farm huildings, painted red—especially the dark Venetian red—offer a fine contrast to the green of the field and trees, aha we are pleased to note that the use of this color is inereasing. The numerous red buildings of English farms are very attractive to the traveler’s eye; and they are not only handsome in appearance, but also give an air of thrilt and permanency to a place, which unEainted wood, or white or straw color, o not impart. We have one set of farm buildings in mind, in which the brackets anti other trimmings are finished oft in black, with a most satisfactory effect. The black thus used, gives a distinctness and boldness to the details, and forms with the red walls a happy combination, and one most appropriate jn its place. Red barns and outbuilding are not igire; these, when of a glaring, self-asserting red, are not pleasing, and they are still less so, when they are, as we often see them, trimmed with white. It is a rule pf good taste in painting buildings, to have window-caps, brackets and other details, darker than the grouna work or main body of the material. Why not apply the same principle to farm buildings, especially as it costs no more, and adds to tne attractiveness and value, of the structure? For example, a brick house, with a white marble doorway, widow-seats and caps, and a white cornice, will always look frivolous and cheap; where the same details are of the much cheaper brown-storte, the house has an air of dignity and repose, quite -lacking in the other. Other farm buildings are often quite as conspicuous as the dwelling, and in decorating them, quite as much thought should be given to having them pleasing to the eye, especially as it need not require an extra outlay,—American Agriculturist.

Lightning Rods.

For the benefit of those of our readers who contemplate putting lightning rods upon their buildings, we publish the following suggestions by tne late Prof. Henry, of the Smithsonian Institute, a most eminent authority on this subject, with the added, suggestion that the rods should be oxaminea frequently to see that the conditions on which protection depends are preserved: (1) The. rod should consist of round iron about one inch in diameter; its parts throughout the whole length should be in perfect metallio continuity, by being secured together by coupling ferrules. (2) To secure it from rust the rod should be coated with black paint, itself a good conductor. (8) It should terminate in a single platinum point. (4) The shorter and more direct the course of the rod to the earth the better, bondings should be rounded find uot formed in acute angles. <6) It should be fastened to the building by iron eyes, and may be insnlated from these by cylinders of glass (I don’t, consider the Tatter of muclt importance). (6)‘ The rod should be connected with the eavth in the most •perfect manner possiblerAud-nothing is better for this purpose than to place it, in metallic contact with the gas 'pipes, or, bettor, the water pipes cf the city. This connection may ne made by a ribbon of copper or iron soldered to the end of the rod at one of its extremities, and wrapped afound the pipe at the other. If a connection of this kind is impracticable the rod should be eontinned horiaontally to the nearest well, and then turned vertically downward until the end enters the water as deep Itnowpst level. The’ horizontal part of the rod may bo buried in a stratum of pounded charcoal and ashes. The rod should be placed in preference on the west side of the building. A j rod of this kind may be put up by an [ ordinary blacksmith.

The proprietor of this celebrated medietas justly claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offered to tho publio for the SAFE, CERTAIN, SPEED T and PERMANENT cur* of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long standing. He refers to the entire Western and Southern country to boar him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in no ease whatever will it fail to core if the directions are strictly followsdhnd carried out. Iu a great many eases asingls dose has been sufficient for a ours, and whole families have been cured by a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health. It la, however, prudent, and in every ease more certain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two after the disseise hat been checked, more especially in difficult and long-standing oaaex. Usually this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowela in good order. Should the patient, however, reqaire aoathartlc medicine, after having taken three or four doses of tho Tonic, a single dose of BULL’S VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be sufficient.
