To his dismay he found the ground sloping downward as he came to the beach, until it was quite a foot below the water, Vexed at having to wade through it, he yet had no thought of danger from the fast rising tide.

He ran a few yards at first, but in so doing he struck his foot against a large stone concealed beneath the water. Then more cautiously and of the jute plant.

It was all over, I thought with that pastry-faced young gentleman. The mines of Siberia, or enchainment to a wheelbarrow ia the Caucasus, must be the most lenient doom that he could expect; he got off, however, with having his head thoroughly well punched by at at least fifteen successive gendarmes, and at last an agent of authority leant down from his saddle as the culprit was past him, and administered to the pastry faced young man. with his large buck accumulations.

A small in, bearing the sign of the "Trepont caught his eje as he walked through the village street observing and observed. In answer to his inquiry, he found he could be entertained, if he did not mind homely ways and simple fare. Not that good Dame Thellys was accustomed to apologize for homely ways or tbe recources of her house, but the unmistakable air of superior breeding, in spite of Frank's dusty exterior, echoed it in spite of herself.

Frank speedily reassured the old lady on this point, and was at once at home in the quaint little inn. From the window of the room wherein he took his meals he could see the little bay with its tiny fleet of fishing boats, or perchance some passing vessel far out on the broad Atlantic. But Frank rarely looked seaward when Kate Thellys was in attendance. Her soft is hght labor, the rank growth causing it The Boiiton Girl.

But chastisement went no further. I thought at least, they would have "run him in;" but the fifteen gendarmes dismissed him with a fearful shower of clouts and cuffs, and sent him flying into the midst of a moss of moujiks. I caught sight of him about half an hour afterward, carefully climbing up one of the street telegraph posts, from which exalted altitude, at the risk of disturbing the insulation of the wires, he watched the passage of the pageant with a countenance bearing more a cheerful than a chastened countenance.

He would give one last cry for help, and then if it came not he would resign himself to the bitter end.

There is no city in the country where there is a mere regular attendance upon religious worship. It is respectable thing to attend church on the Sabbath in Washington. The congregations are large and the churches are well Public men attend in large numbers. The most prominent of government and Congress, without xegard to party, are to be found in the churches on Sunday morning.

The idea that a nation owes allegiance to God seems to have always had a resting place in the' linds of public men here, and the large proportion': of Jthem have always paid at least the outward respect to religion to which, sucL sentiment of a necessity gives rise.

Thiers was inflexible. But M. Thiers had ah ally. M. Mignet, and from time answer: "Drowning under the cliff." A moment later and Ned King bent over the cliff and saw the white, terror stricken face of the man who had come between his love and himself.

What demon whispered to the young lighthouse keeper, ''Let him be; you cannot save him; when he is gone Kate will love you again; besides, you can't reach him, and if you could you couldn't swim with him to the Devil's ladder." Ned saw the drowning man suddenly lose his hold, and then remembering only that he was Kate's plunged from the cliff to the sea, and in a moment had grasped the unconscious body of the young artist. Then, drawing a deep breath, he struck out for the landing place. With steady, even strokes he swam steadily on, till be knew that he was within 100 yards of the Devil's ladder. At last his strength seemed as if it would fail him altogether, but he was determined to push on, and either save Frank Leggett, or die with him. Suddenly he became conscious of one, then more forms watching him from the cliff.

One he knew right well, for it was Kate Thellys. The eight of her face and well known figure nerved him to make a final effort. The cheers and encourage' ments of the crowd sounded dimly in his ears. Just then a shout was raised, "The rope I Catch the rope and a second later a stout rooe fell within a few yards of his hand.

The "journal" is about twenty by twelve inches in size, and is printed on the blank side of common wall paper of a gaudy pattern. It is called the Vicksburg Citizen, and was printed July 4, 1863, the day of Grant's entrance into the city, and with this number the publication ceased. In one paragraph the editor returns his thanks to Major Gillespie for a "Confederate beefsteak," alias mule meat, which is described as "sweet, savory and The lead- ready taking shape; The movement away.

Notwithstanding the riches of her husband she could never submit to either order or etiquette in her private life. She rose at 9 o'clock. Her. toilet consumed much time, and she lavished unwearied efforts on the preservation and embellishment of her person. She changed her linen three times a day, and never wore any stockings that were not new.

Huge baskets were brought to her containing different dresses, shawls and hats. From these she selected ber costume for the day. She possessed between 300 and 400 shawls, and always wore one in the morning, which she draped about her shoulders with unequal sd grace. She purchased all that was brought to her, no matter at what price. The evening toilet, was as careful as that of the morning then she appeared with: flowers, pearls, or precious stones in her hair.

The smallest assembly was always an occasion for her to order a new costume, in spite of the hoards of dresses in the various palaces. Bonaparte was irritated by these expenditures; he would fly into a passion, and his wife would weep and promise to be more prudent, after which she would go on in the same It is almost incredible that this passion for dress should never have exhausted itself. After the divorce she arrayed herself with the same care, even when she saw no one. She died covered with ribbons and pale rose-colored satin. Of all the love affairs in the world, none can surpass, the true love of a big boy for his mother.

It is a love noble and honorable in the highest degree to both. I do not mean merely dutiful nffection. I mean a love which makes a boy gallant and courteous to his mother, saving: to everybody plainly that be is fairly in love with her.

He would getaway for a few hours the next day and talk to Kate on the subject, so he oeterinined in his mind. It was a long walk to Trepont, but Ned cared little for the distance, except as the barrier that kept him from his beloved one.

Never did the journey tem so long as on this particular afternoon, but at last he stood on the cliff beneath which nestled the village, lie was turning down a bypath when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Kate's well-known form. She was sitting on a little mound, an open volume on her lap, her eyes fixed on a little skiff jnst then en-terras the bay. She gave a sudden start as lie greeted her and tbe book fell unheeded to the ground. Poor Ned had very little tact but plenty of straightforward thoroughness, so he rushed in medias res, "Kate, is it true that this stranger chap from London walks out with you?" At once the devil of opposition rose in her breast, and she retorted with a hauteur of manner quite new to her: "Do you wish to insult me?" No, my dailing, yon know I don't; but ia it truer "You have no right to ask ench question, and I won't answer them." "But, Kate, yon shall answer me! And if yon have been foolish in listening to bis soft talk, give him no more chance of coming between us," said Ned, in a voice hearae with emotion.
