The morn balh not th glory that it wore,
Nor doth the day so beautifully die,
Since 1 can call thee to my side no more
To gaze upon the sky.
For thy dear hand, with each return of spring,
I sought in sunny nooks the flowers she gave;
I seek them still, and sorrowfully bring
The choicest to thy graye. - v . ;
Here, where I sit alone, is sometimes heard,
From the great world, a whisper of my name,
Joined, haply, to some kind, commending word,
By those whose praise ia fame.
And then, as if I thought thou still wert nigh,
I turn me, half forgetting thou art dead.
To read the gentle gladness in thine eye
That once I might hare read. v
I turn, hut see thee not; before my eyes
The image of a hillside mound appears .
Were all of thee that passed not to the skies
Was laid with bitter tears.
: And I, whose thoughts go back to happier days
: That Hed witn thee, would gladly now resign
AllAhat the world can give or lame ana piaise
For one sweet look of thine.
Thus, ever, when I read of generous deeds,
Such words aa thou didst once delight to hear,
My heart wrung with anguish as it bleeds
To think thou are not near.
And how that I can talk no more with thee
Of ancient friends and data too fair to last,'
A bitterness blends with the memory
Of all that happy past.
past.
LA TARPIAUDE.
I really do not know, said Jairas, why
I should tell you these things, for you
will probably not believe me, and never
theless it would be easy for you to find
out that I have not changed one word of
the story, which every body has heard,
and which I hrst related to the judges.
I am from Bordeaux a foundling,
brought up anywhere and anyhow. " My
first recollections; are about "a mother
who used to kiss me, and a father who
beat me aaif I were without feeling.
Then I don't remember anything more.
Mother was dead, and father, had gone
away somewhere. Some charitable folks
put me in a Brothers' school, where they
taught me to read and write. That was
all. I wan thick-headed, bnt I grew up
solidly. When I left the school I was
strong and muscular. I became a boat
man ; then I hired myself out as a laborer
on those great fiatboats which unload
the merchant vessels around the Gi
ronde.. - v. '
Boiling hogsheads and casks, carrying
heavy packages that was my trade, and
a hard one; but it pays well. I spent my
life at it. A brutal sort of a life, if you
like, but an honest one. I neverinjnred
anybody. I earned my bread, and spent
the money as fast as I made it. Perhaps
I was ajittle too ready to strike, for I
am quick-tempered, but I had an open
heart and an open "hand. And even if I
did fight sometimes for a mere trifle, I
did so without any real hatred, and never
refused to do a favor for a friend.
I must confess that I did like to drink
alittle once in a while, but not too much.
No one ever saw me do as some men do
stagger from one. cabaret to another,
and lie down to sleep it off in all sorts of
disreputable places. But Hiked to have
a little epree with friends, and J liked
the" company of the young girls who
served the mild wine, and whose eyes
were mild and gentle. I was just twenty-three;
and was no more afraid of work
than I was of fun.
Well, there came a hard winter that
year."" Even at Bordeaux the snow fell
thick and fast; 'and the wind lashed one's
face like a whip. As I was going along
close beside a wall, my foot struck aheap
of rags regular tatters; and a crj came
out of the rags.
So I stooped down and picked the
. bundle up. It was one of the. good God's
own creatures, freezing to death there in
the snow. I carried the thing under
gas lamp and looked at it. It was a little
girl about twelve or fourteen years old,
and as pretty as pretty as love.
She had lost consciousness. I carried
her into a drinking place, and started to
rub her, shake her, and make her swal
low a few mouthfuls of hot wine.
Well, sir, when she opened her eyes
: when she looked at me with those great
pupils of hers, black as tar and soft as
. velvet, it was all up with me. I secured
a room for her in the lodging house
where I lived. The little one made me
; afraid of her, somehow; she made me
feel in a way I had never felt before. It
was just like when one begins to go
mad. .
' . - ;
Well, next day, when she had had a
good sleep. I saw her again, and talked
to her. Where did she come from? She
had come from everywhere; she had been
traveling with a band of gypsies South
ern folks, -who went through the country
giving gymnastic exhibitions. One day
she : ran away, because the man who
called himself her father had threatened
herterribly. She had been wandering
all through Bordeaux, hiding here, beg-
ging there, perishing with hunger and
cold. In short, she was nobody's child.
She was simply a creature that kind
Providenoe had sent me to take care of.
At least I thought so then; now I think
that it was the devil himself who placed
her in my path.
Well, I felt queer about her all the
time; but I soon made up my mind
what to do. I rang the bell of a Convent
of the Gray Sisters which was beside
the Saint Andre Hospital, right back of
the Place d'Armes. i: saw the Mother
Superior and told her all about my ad
venture. ""
'I can't possibly keep the child," I
. said; "you'll have to take care of it. Sis
ter. As for the money, I'll settle all that
with you." ,
So we struck a bargain, and I told the
little one. I don't think it quite pleased
her. But, anyhow, she was locked up
there; and I felt relieved.
Then I tell you I became steady enough
no more sprees, no more fights. I
thought of nothing but the little one. I
worked like four men ; and every Sunday
I went to see her. They were not at all
pleased with her. She was always mak
ing the Bisters mad, and turning the
convent upside down. Then when we
would be alone, she would fling her
fcrias around my neck and look into my
eyeB, so that it seemed to me I saw mil
lions of stars. And she would say to me
between two kisses: : " :
"Take me. away from, here; I rant to
liye with you, I don't like it here."
It was hard to refuse her; fori be
longed to her body and eoul, the little
wretchl and she knew it. Still I re
mained firm.
"When you can read, write and count
veil," I said, "vou can. leave here not
before." " ' : ' '
"Where shall I go then?"
"ust wherever you like." , .
And she would always answer :
"I want to go with you, and to your
home ; I want to be your wife."
She was tnere three years. At last one'
morning the Superioress sent for me.
She said they could not keep the little
ou3 any longer. She was insolent to
everybody, passionate at a cat. and in-1
a
curable as an itch. I .
And when I told the Superioress that
I was going to marry the girl she lifted
ner eyes to heaven and cried:
"May God help you! may God watch
over you: .
The little one did not know much; she
would never study. But she had grown
tall and beautiful. At that hour she was
lovely as an angel. 4n I great clumsy
brute that I was I was crazy about her.
1 married her, and 1 was happy mad
ly happy. Even now, in spite of all she
has done, when I think of that bliss, it
makes me tremble in every limb. I had
worked so hard, so constantly, that even
while paying her bdard, I had been able
to lay something aside. Ah! dame! I
had no high living in those days; and I
ate more bread than I did anything else.
But when ihe left the church she found
waiting for her a complete housekeeping
set a neat, clean, cheerful home, f had
done the best I could.
And when we went out on Sundays,
she leaning upon my arm Lord ! how
proud pf her I was! How everybody
turned round to look at us! But. then,
you have ho idea how beautiful she was!
Ah! she was a wonder a marvel of God's
creation I could not describe her ! v
My friends knew of her already, while
she was with the Sisters. I could not
keep my adventure1 to myself; I told
everybody, like the big fool I was.
She had kept her j Gypsy name. Her
skin was golden as a mandarine's. Some
fools called her black. Then they ended
by nicknaming her La Tarpiaude on ac
count of her brown; skin; and she was
the first to laugh when my friends called
ner by that name. !
How happy I was!
Bat, I tell you, I paid dearly for that
happinees; for I had a terrible time of it
afterwards. Need I tell you that I kept
on working as hard as ever yea, working
bevond my strength- in order to pet her,
to spoil her, to get j her exerything she
wanted? There was one thing which
always ireuea me in the midst -oi my
J'oy. She was as lazy as a dormouse;
tad no idea of putting her ten fingers to
the laast good usei doing nothing all
day but reading trashy books, without
even taking the trouble to mend her own
dresses. And greedy! and a liai ! It
was no use trying not to see it no use
having a web over your eyes! Though
was really drans with love blind drunk,
thoagh she could make me see stars at
midday, still I could not help seeing how
disorderly her life was. Bnt I used to
say to myself: she! will change for the
better as she grows older. - And I used to
think if the good God should sand us
child, she wonld have to take charge of
it, and that would make her a better
woman. Luckily for me we never had a
child! What would such a child have
been? O misery ! !
That happiness lasted two years two
years that passed as quickly as two days
Aow it is tue hours tnac arag along as
slowly as if they were years.
Already several times, when 1 came
home. I had not found her there. No
dinner ready the house all dismal, and
empty, and cold. It was very trying. A
moment later she would come in, all out
of breath, and excuse herself by saying
she had been taking a walk with some of
her girl-friends. Still I didnt say any
thing. You see, whenever I found fault
with hen, she would pout, snd then it
was I who was in the wrong, and I had to
beg her pardon, j
But one .evening she was out much
later than nsnal; and I was at the win
do w watching for her to come. At last '.
saw her shape at the corner of the street;
but, at the same time, I fancied that she
was not alone. I thought I saw a man
with her. I knew that man! A man they
called Dalto, aCalabrian, a handsome
fellow he was! who used to work at the
whart with me. It Was only for a moment
like a flash. The shadow of the man
disappeared ; and La Tarpiaude, bursting
into the room like a summer breeze,
flung her arms about my neck. I must
have been mistaken. Men like me
are
made to ma&e mistakes, it . seems.
and to be deceived j when they love any
Dody. . . I - ' "
Next day when 'I went down to" the
port, I fancied that Dalto shunned me;
any ho w1 whenever! I looked at him he
turned his head away and seemed em har
assed. And the same evening he quit
work before the rest of us. My blood
had been boiling all day; my mind was
fuxl of suspicions.! The mere sight of
Dalto filled me with silent rage. I felt
Jike leaping upon him and strangling
him with my hands. It seemed as if he
knew how I felt; for he kept at a distance
from me. When I saw him going away,
I could not stand t any longer. I had
to be cautious about it; for he seemed to
be afraid of something, and every now
and then stopped to look behind him. I
crept along, edging the houses. It was
springtime; but the Bun sank rapidly,
and it was soon dark. Dalto kept on;
quickened his pace; I followed, and came
closer to him. . I
And all the while I was blaming my
self. It seemed to me that I was doing
wrong in spying the woman I loved the
child I had picked up in the snow, and
made my wife. ! .
Misere de Dieut Dalto stopped, and a
creature came to him. It was she! It
was La Tarpiaude;
And she threw her arms abont his
neck, just as she had done with me
only the evening before, when she came
in late. ; j- -
I was about to spring forward, but con
strained myself, by a tremendous effort.
I wanted to know: all.
She had taken his arm and was
walking along with him, lolling upon
him, laying her cheek upon his shoulder.
Just as with me! just the same thing!
It was at the quinconces among the
trees and flowers, j The promenade was
deserted, for the jweather was still cool:
the trees which overshadowed the walks
gave me a good chance to follow them
closely. I neve lost a single movement.
Every moment they kissed each other,
and the sound of their kisses felt' to me as
though something burned me tothe very
marrow of my bones. I bit my lips I
buried my fingernails in my breast. But
still followed them. They sat down
upoh a bench; and I hid behind a
great chestnut tree to listen. I heard
him say: 1
"Nol No! we must not remain longer
together this evening. I am sure Jalrns
suspects something; he never took
his eves off me all day. We were'f ool-
ish to remain so long last
evening.
He
suspects us. j -
She burst out laughing.
"He! pecairelih! the poor fool! You
don't know him! j I could make him eat
dandelions, believing they were aspara
gus. Why, whenever I let him kiss me
he sees stars and! all sorts of things, and
goes crazy really crazy."
Yes, she was right. 1 was craz, mad,
frenzied; I leaped upon tfoem with the
roar of a wild) beast. "Curse you!"
I cried. "Curse! jou, I shall kill you
both!" S
But still' I controlled myself. , j
"Here!" I said to Dilto, striving to
keep myself from leaping at his throat
"I do not wish to mfirderyou. Yon have
your' knife; I have mine! Defend
yourself remember! we fight to the
death!".
And I put myself on guard, my knife
in my hand. He also Hung off his jacket
and rolled it about his left arm.
I had a narrow escape, for as I was just
on the point of burying my knife in his
heart, I stumbled forward, stung by an
atrocious pain. La Tarpiaude, crawling
upon the ground, had got behind me,
and bit my leg in hopes of making me
fall. "'I knocked her from me with a heavy
blow ; and as Dalto rushed forward, we
grappled. His knife grazed my cheeek,
but at the same moment l ouried mine
in his chest.
It was time! La Tarpiaude had
attacked me again and bit me a second
time. - t
When she " saw her lover fall she
uttered a smothered cry, and fled! Ah! I
never even thought of running after
her. I had killed a man, loyally, how
ever, in staking my own life against his.
And if La Tarpiaude, the wicked thing,
had succeeded in, making me fall, they
both would have murdered me.
I did not think of running away . I
remained right there my teeth chatter-ing-f
repeating to myself all the while,
"I have killed a man I 1 have killed a
man!"
People passing by saw Dalto lying stiff
and dead, and shouted, "Murder! Mur
der! the police easily captured me, fori
made no effort to resist them. -
' - . . - :
The -Police Commissary questioned
me. when x told him my story he only
laughed in my face. He declared that I
had had a private quarrel with Dalto, and
had lured him to the Quinconces in
order to murder him. He did not believe
in the duel story for a very good reason.
When I was arrested I still had my knife
in my hands. But the dead man's knife
could not be found.
And then I remember havinsr seen La
Tarpiaude stoop down just before Bhe
ran away, l had tnongnc u was to see
whether her lover still breathed. It was
not. It was in order to get the knife. It
was in order to make a murderer out of
me. La Tarpiaude had revenged herself
well.
What use my explanations to the
Juderes. They only shrugged their
shoulders, and looked at each other,
smiling with incredulity. They believed
me a common assassin- nothing more.
La Tarpiaude had shrewdly guessed
the whole force of the blow she was able
to deal me. ,
Worse thin that! Because they were
never able to find her, I was accused of
having murdered her also, and hidden
the body away.
And then I was condemned to the gal
leys or to hard labor for life, as they
call it in these days. ' -
The Ghost of the Tuileries.
The Tuileries bad its ghost, and it
was a local, nob a family, spirit. The
Bed Man of the Tuileries has appeared
all through the history of the building,
though in the stirring time before the
revolution he was naturally more than
on duty. He used to be seen at dead of
night, leaning in a sombre fashion with
folded arms over the stair case, or at one
of the great windows overlooking Paris.
A few days before the 10th of August
Marie Antoinette'swomen rushed into her
apartment to tell her that they had seen
him in the guard room during the ab
sence of the guard. He looked at them
with a face of unutterable woe. He was
last seen during the Commune. The old
watchman who had charge of the build
ing was going his round one night when
he became aware of a scarlet-clad figure
in the gloom, skulking behind one of the
pillars. He made for it, but it seemed
to pass around the pillar and disappear.
He looked about everywhere, but there
was nothing. The . old man had his
own reasons for thinking that he might
have been deceived on this occasion so
he took nothing but coffee after dinner
next night before making his rounds, yet
there was the red man again, 'l'his time
he was leaning meditatively on his arm
and looking down dri Paris. The watch
man shouted at him; he turned around,
faced him with the same look oUjcy woe,
and disappeared. The old man ran for
help, late as it was, and made a thorough
search of the place. They did find some
thing red; their search ended in a sauve
qui pent, and they saw the first glance of
incendiary fire that was to reduce the
palace of the Tuileries to a heap of
ruins. ' : ' -
jfevr Postal Orders.
A little postal bill passed both Houses
of Congress in . the closing hours
modifying the postal money -order
system so as to authorize postmasters of
money-order offices, under authority of
the Postmaster-General to issue postal
notes in denominations of $5 and under.
This is an important bill and will greatly
facilitate the transmission of small sums
through the mails. It authorizes the
issue cf money -ordeas without corres
ponding advices of $5 and less, to be on
engraved paper, and known as postal
notes, payable to bearer, such notes to
be invalid after three months, but the
holder can, after that time, get the par
value of the note by applying to the
Postoffiee ' Department at Washington.
For issuing a postal note a fee of three
cents will be charged. This bill author
izes the issues of money-orders in ; de
nominations of a hundred dollars more
or less, but none for more than a hun
dred dollars can be issued. The follow
ing fees are fixd to be charged for money-orders:
For orders not exceeding
$10, 8 cents; from $10 to $15, 10 cents;
$15 to $30, 16 cents; $30 to $40, 20 cents;
$40 to $50, 25 cents; $50 to $60, 30 cents;
$60 to $70; 35 cents; $70 to $80 to $100,
45 cents.
Ladles of the Bed-Chamber.
. ' "
The pre-eminent distinction of extra
bed-chamber lady to the Queen has just
been conferred on the Duchess of Bed
ford. ' It can be held only by a peeiess,
and the Duchess has for her colleagues
the Countesses of Mount Edgecombe,
Mayo, Gainsbro', and two others. These
are all "extras," and are aided by eight
ordinary ladies of the bed-chamber. But
let no republican leader, whether in
France, Switzerland or America, fancy
that these extra and ordinary ladies can
singly or collectively fulfill'the arduous
duties in connection with the royal sleep
ing apartment. They are assisted by
twelve "bed chamber women"--note the
graduation in title whe have some claim
on her majesty, either by reason of their
own or by their husband's services. "A
small salary Ja- attached to eaclTeffice,
which, however, is esteemed not so much
for its money value as because it brings
the bearer within the ; charmed circle of
court life. -The real work of attending
to . the Queen's bed-room is performed
by a couple of very ordinary house
maids 6f German extraction, whose names
are "never told," and- whose wages are
such as few serving women in the states
would care to accept. London Letter.

elements of tree greatness.
X Belated Bridegroom's Cattle .
A young gentleman of Lowndes coun
ty "met his fate" in the person of one of
Lowndes county's fair daughters, and
every arrangement had been made, the
time appointed, the guests invited, for a
consumnation of the interesting ' event.
The time came for him to come over and
claim his bride. He got in his buggy
and drove over to the . new bridge . at
Bock Ford; but alas! the swollen current
had been too much for the bridge, and it
was impassable. He hastily retraced his
steps a mile or two and then drove rap
idly down to StartlingV Ferry, thinking
that the high water would not prevent
his crossing on a flat, and perchance, by
hard driving, he could make the time.
He put whip- to the horses and made as
fast time as possible over the wet and
bad road, Arriving at the ferry, he was
greatly annoyed at finding he could hot
cross. He next thought of the Belville
Ferry, eight or ten miles lower down the
river. At once he made for that place,
but before he reached the fiat he got
into a lagoon of water, and after driving
some distance into it, he saw that he
could not cross. He turned his horse
to retrace his steps, and as soon as the
animal got out of the road it began to
bog and plunge in distress. The young
man hastily displaced his clothing, pre
paratory to getting out and cutting the
hore loose, and in doing so he lost
a valuable pistol and some gold coin
which was lying loose in his pockets.
After some considerable difficulty he got
the horse put of "the bog and
rolled the buggy out by hand. His
only alternative now was to travel up the
river 25 or 30 miles to Quitman, take the
cars for Valdosta and hire a conveyance,
which he did. When he arrived at the
place where he was to claim his bride he
was nearly two days behind time, and he,
of course, found the family and friends
in a disturbed state of mind, for they did
not know the river was impassable and
could not account for his failure tfl come
to time. A few words explained" the
trouble and tSe next day they were made
happy in each other s love.
