It is difficult lor us to rcali/.e a state of society in which such a wild heast could be permitted to go at large; but wc know it to be historically line that such creatures were endured in 1 'ramie; just as wo are assured that there were at one time wolves in Yorkshire, onl) | the less noisome vermin had .. harder Lime ol it sis civilization progic.-si?l than was dealt out t<> the human brute. The latest exploit of the Comte de \r previous to the story I am about to tell, was to goad a poor young student into a ehsdlenge; ami when it was represented to him that the hov had never held a sword in his life, so that it would he fairer to use pistols, he re plied that "fools sometimes made mialakes with pistols," and the next morning ran h:tn through the lungs. The i L'vi! lit was on him; but the Mm 1 thus died quieted hini for another half year, and rather more, for public opinion was unfavorable, and the air ol [Jordean.v became too warm foi him. l?ul the scandal blew over alter at a me, and ho cauio back to his old taunts, one of which was a eale by the iver side, where many used to spend heir Sundays. Into the little garden jf this establishment our wolf swaggered one fine summer afternoon, with .he heavy dark look and nervous .witching of the hands which those tvho wete acquainted with him knew veil meant mischief. The evil lit, was >n him; consequently he found himself he center of a circle which expanded is he went on. Thin did not displease dm. lie liked to he feared. ' lie knew to could make si quarrel when he shone, ho he looked around for a vieitn. At a tsible almost in the middle of he garden sat a man ?>f about thirty peat's of age, o! middle height, and sui xpression ol countenance which sit irst struck one as mild and good honored. lie was engaged in reading * J CI o i journal which seemed to interest din, and eating strawberries, an occu >alion which does not call forili any atcut strength of character. Above ill, he was profoundly unconscious of .lie; presence of M. lc < dmte da \ ~ uul continued eating his strawberries md reading his paper as though no wolf were in thai .pleasant fold. As the Count approached his tabic t became sufficiently well known whom he was ohout to honor with hi.-, nsolencc; and the circle narrowed o ace the play, it is not bad sport, with some of us to see a fellow crealm re baited?especially when we are nut of danger ourselves. The strawbery-eater's costume was not such as was ordinarily worn in France at that time, and he had a en lions hat, which ? the weather being ,varm? he had plaecd on the table by his nide. 'He is a foreigner,' whispersome of the dressed circle. 'Perhaps he does not know Monsieur le Cornte.' Monsieur I<0 Cornte seated himself nt the table opposite the unconscious stranger, and called loudly, '(iaroou.' tGareon,> he said, when that functionary appeared, 'take away that nasty thing!' pointing to the hat aforesaid.

'Yes, Monsieur, and what have you to say against him?' 'I? O nothing.' 'That may he well for you.' 'I>ul there are those who say he is a coward.'
