Ball t/ic (lode of IfoiMjr. This was a j

great physical Ftrengtli, iinperluraMo ;
sangfroid^ and relentless cruelty. Not ,
a bad sort of companion, us some said,
when the ill ? the dueling tit - was not
on him; hut this came on once in
about every six months, and then lie
must have blood, iv mattered little
whose, lie had killed ami manned
boys of sixteen, fathers of families,
military officers, journalists ad \ oca.es,
peaceful country gentlemen. 'i localise
of a (pian\ 1 w as of no imj ortanc*.;
if one did not prest lit itself ivadily, la.
made one; always eontnviug thai according
to the code aforesaid, he
should be the insulted party, thus
having the choice uf weapons; and he
was deadly with the small-sword. 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.
Now the stranger's cibow, as he
read his journal was 011 the hvim of
the nasty thing, which was a very good

The garcon was about to retire well

him?

'What does that matter to me?

'That i should take the gentleman's

with perfect politeness in l:is
tone, *1 have tlie honor not to know

The strawberry-eater looked up and
the easy, good-natured lace was gone.
In its place was one with two gray
eyes that Hashed like (ire, and a mouth
that set itself very firmly.
'The Comte do V ,' he repeated
in a low voice.
'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.'
'That is enough,' said the lmlly,
starting to bis feet. '.Monsieur will
find me in two bonis at litis address,'
Hinging him a card.
'! shall not trouble mvself to seek
Monsieur !e Comic,' replied the straw berry-eater,
calmly tearing the card in
t w < >.
'Then I shall say of Monsieur what
he, permit ting bimsell to lie, said just

'Ami that is?
'That he is a coward.'

The straw herry-enlor made no reply,
hut turned Ins head ami called (iareon!
The poor trembling creature came up
again, wondering what new dilemma
was pn pattd for liim, and stood quaking
some ten yards oil'.
'(iareon,' said the Ktranger, 'is there
a room vacant in the hotel?
'Without tlouht, Id on bit* ur.1
'A large out?'
'Hut certainly. They are all largo

'Then engage the largest for mo

'Monsieur, I give my own orders
when necessary,' said ihc Count, loili*y
'1 thought to spare you the trouble.

Then the strawberry-eater returned
to Ids straw berries, The l>n 11 y gnawed
his lip. He could not make head or
tail ot his phlegcmatic opponent. The
circle grew a little wider, Ibr a horrid
idea got abroad that the Count had

him, and that he would have to seek

'Will you light yourself with me, or

*1 f Monsieur le Comte will give himself

H ), don't t rouble yourself on that

Salim and Mir/.a sat before their cot,
in the shadow ol the palms, and, hand,
in hai.il, >'U/.rd abroad on the "olden
L'venino landscape.
'W hat :iri thou thinking of, Salim?* '
nked the youthlul bride, regarding
the yoiin^ man tenderly. 'Thou sniilM.
as though in a delightful dream,
iltd t*uy brow is bright with ccstacy.'
'1 thought ol the time when I first
saw and won lime,1 answered Salim.
T><11 1 son<_dit (or tiie time when our
love commenced as vainly as I look
lor the end ol this rino which lies before
us, ami which, to ornament, my
hand, 1 have carved from the tooth of
an lib-pliant.'

looking with alVeelion on Lho Iriend oi
her hear!. 4\V hon 1 nu-L thee lor Vho lirst

\ cs, Salim, our love must have
descended from ( unl; for, like him it
was without ho^iuin^ ami shall he
witln?ul end!'
When the youth took the beloved
ol his soul to his heart with unspoakahle
delight, ami the stars j.i/. -d down
upon ihein wilii t ransjiar- nt splendor,
and I hey read their prophetic syllables
on tiits lieaveiiK, and lluur seeret

the eye of love alone can pierce the
curtain ot tins lulu re, rnd behold that
which is hidtleu from the vision ol
othei s.
4 i i s, our love shali last throughout
eternity!' said hotii, with exultation,
and the serenest lailli gi.dcd their |
U'owh, as the light ol the everlasting
stars irradiates the arch ol heaven.
Then Salnn took the ivory ring and
placed it on the right hand of his be- i
loved. 4Take this ring, the symbol ol 1
eternity, to commemorate tins hour/
iio said, delightedly. 'It fchail bo the
sign ol our love and laith, and the
companion of our days, and when we
lull in dust It will remind us ol' our
union in heavon'.,>
And Mir/at took the significant ornament
from the hand ot her beloved,
and it never passed from her possession.
Their lino love was not lorgot|
ton. The youths gave similar gifts to
their brides and the ring eamo to bo
considered a silent promise ol fidelity.
And so the custom passed Irom generation
to generation, until, in our own
times, it is regarded as the talisman ol
hope to a lov ing heart.
