His well to woo, 'tis well to wed,
For so the.world hath done
Since myrtles grew, and roses blow,
And morning brought the sun.
But bare a care, ye young and lair,
lie sure you pledge with truth;
Be certain that your love will wear,
Beyond the days of youth!
For if you give not heart for heart,
As well as hand for hand,
You'll liud you've played the unwise part
And "built upon the tatul."
"'Tis well to save, 'tis well to have
A goodly store of gold,
Ami hold enough ofslaning stufT,
For charity Is cold.
Hut place not all your hope and trust
In what the deep mine brings;
We cannot live on yellow dust
Unmixed with purer things,
And he who piles up wealth alone,
Will often have to stand
Beside his coifur chest and own,
'Tis "built upon the sand."
'Tis good to sjieak in kindly guise,
And soothe where'er we can;
Fair speech should bind the human mind,
But love link man to man.
But stop not at the gentle words;
liO.t deeds with language dwell;
The one who pities starving birds,
Should scatter crumbs as well.
The mercv that ;s warm and true.
Must loud a helping hand,
For those that talk, yet fail to do,
But "build upon the sand.''

It was in Paris after the events of
1830. The leading Question of tho
day was to persuade Austria to accept
the revolution of July, and the change
ol dynasty. To conduct this difficult
uegociation, the government hadchos<u?
Marshal Maison, a brave old soldier
of the empire, hut more used to
tho tactics of war than to those of
diplomacy and politics. The marshal
accepted reluctantly the poet confided
to him, and, i m; to re his departure, he
turned his steps toward ihe hotel of

his last secret instructions.
Ho met with .poor success. The
IVmoe was affable enough, but the
marshal could not get him to talk business.
He would converse on every
other subject hut the very one the
marsh;'1 was most anxious to engage
in. At lhtt> the marshal lost ail
patience.
"Saerebleu!" he cried; "for more
than an hour vou have been telling me
- n
atones that do not concern me, and
showing me toys that I despise! And
whenever I try to talk of my mission
you instantly beat a retreat. Do you
know that I strongly suspect you, M.
lo Prince, of making a fool of nie?"
"Your mission!" replied Talleyrand,
calmly. "Aid of course., my dear Marshal,
let us talk of it. Why did you
not mention it sooner?"
"How sooner? For more than an
hour"?
"I did not understand. I was afraid
of boring you by talking busbies.
What I did was for your sake, for you
(know that busbies is my element.
Vou were about to remark"-"That
I am about to leave for Austria,
and that"?
"Austria?a fine country"! a very
'fine country!"
' "And that in Vienna'"?
"Vienna, a charming city! I am
confident that you will like it!'
"An excellent good fellow, though
perhaps a lit/lie ceremonions. We led
a very joyous lite together. That reminds
me ol an adventure"?
"Allow me to-observe, M. le Prince,
ilia! wo are talking of my mission.'
"Well!"
"What am I to say to M. do Mctternichf
"What are yon to say to him?"
"Yes."
"I really don't know.'
"What! you don't know?'
"I had not reflected when I told
you that. You will say to him'?
"Weil?"
"Only one word-"
"And that is?'?
Pececadil W
Peccadillo?"
"Yes."
"Permit mo to take my leave of you,
3VI. le Prince,' said the marshal, perfectly
beside himself, taking up his hat
and going toward the door as he
spoke.

hands 14 ^ y 1 y Arrived
in the Austrian capital, the
French envoy was extremely well received;
he was loaded with all sorts of
attentions, and entertainments without
end were given to him, but of any interview
with the minister there was
not the slightest question. More than
once already he had solicited and au- !
dieneo, and his request h id always
been refused under one pretext or another.
Driven out of all patience by
these delays, ho solicited an audienev
in such a pressing manner that it was
at last accorded to him. The day was
fixed as well as the hour.
"At last," thought the marshal, "I
shall he able to explain myself.'
At the moment he entered the in in- )
inter's cabinet, Prince Mattornich was
in the act of flushing a dispatch between
his fingers. On seeing the mar- t
11
shal enter, he glanced at the clock, and j
said:
"Marshal, 1 regret deeply that I am
able to give you but very little time.
Dis majesty the emperor has sent ine
an order which summons me to him in
a few moments; 1 cat: only devoted j
half an hour to you to day. Another
time I mav he more fori un-ito y
"A great many things may be said ,
| in halt an hour,' thoghl the marshal.
I A great many thing maybe said in
! halt'un hour, it is true, above all, a
great many things foreign to the sub
jeot under dismission. Talleyrand
had already proved that to the marshal,
and Melternioh proved to him
anew. It was impossible tor him to introduce
a single word of politics during
the thirty minutes that the interview
lasted.
"J am obliged to leave you sir,1 said
tbe minister; the hall hour is past.1
"The die is cast," thought the marshal;
<T have nothing more to do but
to return to France.1
Suddenly a thought struck him. M. '
do Mctteriiich was on the point ol leaving
the room.
"I have a message for you irom AI. {
de Talleyrand.1
"What is itV
The marshal hesitated.
"What is it?' repeated the minister.
"Teccadille,1 said she marihal, in j
desperation.
At these words, M. de Metternieh !
lot go the door knob, winch ho It a.' i already
grasped, and quickly retraced
his stops.
"Peccadille, did you say?*
"Ves, M. le Prince, Iron* J\I. do Talleyrand.'
"Oh, then that is very different.
Why did you not say so before? Today
it is impossible lor me to remain
with you, because, as I have already
told you, the emperor is wait mg (or me, j
but to-morroxv I will receive you, and
wc will converse long and seriously,
and believe me, sir, I will do all that
is in my power to aid the success ol
your negotiation.'
The marshal remained utterly bow- j
ild ered by the mysterious etVect ot the i
name he had pronounced. That evening
there was a hall at the court. M.
do Mettcrnich approached the marrhal,
humming, as lie did so, an old opera
air.
He seemed in high good humor,
and conversed tor a long lime with
the French envoy. The next day the j
promised interview took place. Shortly
afterward the marshal returned to
France, having accomplished his mission
in the most satisfactory manner
possible. It now only remains to us ;
to solve this riddle, which is what
wo arc about to do.
In 1814, three statesmen, namely,
MM. do Talleyrand, do Metternich,
and de Nesse!rode, were mot together
fn Paris, and were engaged in settling
the grave questions which had arisen
out o( tho fall ot Napoleon and the
entrance ot the allied powers into
France. These grave interests took
up nearly all their time, and jet they
occasionally found means to escape
from the preoccupations of diplomacy,
saying among each other: "Let us put
ot! serious matters till to-morrow."
I One day the three diplomats wore

assembled at a gay dinner. The
conversation, alter roving Irom onu
frivolous subject to another, liually
turned upon women.
"Oh," said Prince Talleyrand, "1
know a marvel of beauty to whom
nothing is comparable."
"I," said M. do Mettcrnieh, "know
a woman who is fairer than the fairest
r
"And I,"sai l M. de Nesselrode, the
envoy ot llutsia, "can cite a person
who certainly lias no rival!"
" There exists apparently three incomparable
beauties," then said M.
vie Talleyrand, who had spoken first;
"but I do not doubt that mine is the

"No; it 'in mine."
"No; mine."
"It is easy to see that you <lo not
know the person ot whom I speak."
"Nor you t he one ot whorn I mean."
"II you hu?l seen mine, you would
not la!k so enthusiastically ot the
beauty ot the others."
Thus commenced, the conversation
gradually grew animated, and dually
degenerated into a quarrel.
44 We arc absurd, gentleman," said
at length M. tie Talleyrand; "there is
a very simple means ot holving the
dillieulty; let u* bring these three
mysterious beauties together."
"An excellent idea, hut, dillieult ot
execution."
"Not in the least. This is opera
night ; I oiler you my box. Each ot
us will write to his goddess, and,
when the three are met together there,
we will arrive."

Talleyrand rang, and sent for pen,
ink, and paper. Each ol the men
wrote a note ami gave it to a footman,
ordciing Join to take a circuitous
route when lie lctt the liolcl, in order
to bailie tin- curious in case he was
iolio Wed.
Another hour passed, ami then the
three guests set oil' lor the opera.
Arrived at the door ot the box, AI. lie
Talleyrand motioned to M. do Aletternich
to enter hr^t, who in turn went
through the same ceremony with A1.

"After you# sir."
"hb (e)'iincir 1 pould not think ot
it."
At last, 1'rince AIettornie.il entered.
In an arm.chair at the front ol the
box sat a solitary lady.
"What <loes this pleasantry mean,

ol l'linee, '1 alley rand, who followed
him,
"1 was about to ask you the same

said the lair unknown; and, drawing
hum her glove throe little l'olded pajm

three statesmen. All the notes hore
t he same address. That address was

When MM. do Melternich and de
Nesselrode were about to leave
France, they met for a last conference
with Frince Talleyrand.
"We are about to sepenite," said
thelatter. "Do yon not think that it
