Tlio pigs got out and ho drove them back, Whistling right menily; Ho mended tho fence and kept tho cows Just where they ought to be.

He was headstrong as a donkey; he wouldn't listen to me; it is with you alone he wishes to confer." " Be it so, Andre. Go before and an nounce me." Madame do Y was received most graciously and politely by the provincial tenant, who thus addressed her: " You cannot conceive, madamo, how comfortnble I find myself in this your pretty npnrtmcnt, and how much I de sire to spond in it tho remaining time I have to stay in your charming capital; and I fondly hope you will have the goodness to allow me so to do. What ever bo jour teims, I accept them be forehand." To this tho widow replied, somewhat surprised, that she had no terms to pro pose ; that she wanted her apartment, and must have it. lint greater still was her surpriso when she heard tlio provin cial declare his determination to keep it, oven if it was necessary to stand a regu lar siege.

Tho debate became warmer and warmer,rlio gentleman losing, and th lady gaining no ground, while Aiulri slipped away to his lodge, informing hif better-half thut tho storm was gatlmriiii. above. At Inst, after much speechify ing on both sides, tho gentleman, break ing a pause of apparently deep reflco tion, spoko ngain : " Well, maduuie," said ho, " there re mains but ono way to arrange our littli dispute, so as to enable you to resunn possession of your dolightful residence, without ousting me from it." " Vliut is your meaning, sir? do manded tho bewildered young widvjw, looking still more charming in hei amazement. "My meaning is this, madame; mj name is Arthur Baron Arthur de B . I belong to an old and honorable familj am a bachelor, and 82 years of age My estatoi are worth 50,000 francs a year hut this I mention out of respect to the laws of business ; and despite the originality and queerness of my conduct, which may perhaps have offeudod you I am considered a very good-natured person ; aud, upon the whole, I flatter myself I urn a inun fully cap.iblo of mak ing a lady happy. Will you, therefore, do mo tho honor of accepting my heait, my hand, and my fortune ?" To this sudden proposal Madamo de .i luimuu wiia uiguiiy : iour jest is not in very good tasto, sir, and all I can do is to laugh at it. " " Serious, most serious, madame, lam indeod anil, on the faith of a gentle man, I beg you to believe it." "What, sir I you propose marriage rnoroly that you may not havo to give up my apartments I" "A little upon that account, madamo, but still more becauso of a more over powering reason- for among tho many lonsiderations 1 havo had the honor o! laying before you, there is ono I dare not mention, but allow mo now to con fess it I love you." At thisavowa'l, Mndnnio do Y blushed to tho eyes. Whut lady, young or old, would not havo done bo, particularly when tho avowal came from n young, handsome and wealthy man? However, sho took it in good part, and laughed outright at her intjrlosutor ? "You a ro laughing, madamo, and however " "Your folly piovokes my laughter, .Monsieur lo Baron. 1 really cannot help it." r " Novel thclcas, madamo, lean assure you 1 am lully master of my reason, ol id least as much of it as lemaius, Biib dui'il as it is by intoiisoiMBsioii " "What, sir 1 iutoiibo passion passion at first siglit I" "You forgot, madamo, that I have been living throe long months in your apartments, and that your portrait, which I now seo is an adorable likeness, is hanging up there in the next room. It was tho first object thut caught mv attention on entering, and I havo looked at and admired it every day since. Nor was I captivated by tho charms of yom beauty alone, for I am well acquainted with j our merit in every way your nuiiiv uperior qualities and yourirreproaclm' bio character.

That heart I offer yo'n again, and humbly wait your answer to Know un futo." Thero was noliombast, no fanfaronade in tho Huron's language, it was tho ie solve of a man who had malo up hi' muni, and was determined to succeed. Hut tho more ho urged his suit, the les ho advanced in it ; till at lust the widow siguiltcil to nun, in iluo lorm and uu niistakiiblo phraseology, that ho ninsi instantly shift his ouur'tors thus givini him his loae, and intimating- to him in tho sumo time thut he must neer thitiV of setting foot in her residence again. " Very well, nuulaino I withdraw and will not veturn till you invito me ti do ko ;" tho answer to' which paitin; winds was a i-aucy smile, aud a toss n tho head which evidently meant, " Yoi havo long to wait, .Monsieur Ie Baron beforo receiving such an invitation," However, a tho end of a few days, tin invitation was M-ut. aud tho H.iiou nr rived just us the widow had completer making hei self more charming than ever " What huo been npprinM of, sir? said Madamo do Y - - to him, ii lo eated himself in an arm ohnir a l.i Vol tuiro right opposito to li r.

Sho resolved, however, no Id speak to tho Baron of his generous conduct toward her proteges, fearful lest she might betray her seuslbiltte at si noble an action, iiut anotucr circuin itanoe soon came to light, and caused 'he Baron to be invited, suddenly and jorvously, to call a Becoud time.

T! e airrarian state of Italy is such as to cause tho gravest anxiety to Italian states men. Tho corn trade, once so prosperous.has come to an end. The ships which enter the Italian harhois can get no return freight. The misciy of the people is terrible and in conse quence the average length of human life is 8 j ears less than m Trance, and 10 less than in Norway.

In the year 1SS0 there were 20,000 peasants suffering from it in Lom bard, and tlieie were double that number in 1S7S.
