Were I but asked. to name a word, Most full of of joy and sorrow, The sweetest yet the saddest heard, My soul would say, "To-morrow." To-morrow and our brave ships go,. With sails agleam with glory; To-morrow! and the wrecks are low, With none to tell the story. To-moi-row! hope shall spread her wing, And seek new scenes of gladness: To-morrow grief may cypress bring, And fill our homes with sadness. We meet, touch hands, look into eyes, Too deep for love's divining; To-morrow slips the frail disguise, And shows the heart light sbining. And yet to-morrow may reveal An evil light out-burning; In-born to blight where others heal, The fond hearts to it turning. And so I say lie sweetest word Our speech may know or borrow Is saddest that was ever heard! Index of joy and sorrow. THE ETCHIN DIUMONDS1 -0 Arthur Stangate, attorney-at law, was my brother. He had succeeded to my father's business, and no name was more esteemed and trusted in all Runnington, and Runnington was a rich and important place. My brother's offices werehn the town. two miles distant; but he did alntost as much business among the gcentry at his own private house. Most. of the - great folks em ployed him ; but his best client was SirEtchin Eckford, a ci-0evant Indian judge very wealtby and he possessor of some rare and costly jewels, known in the coun try as the Etchin Diamonds. Thbeir name even makes me shudder now. One evening, as Arthur was prep)arin)g to return to his office, where important business would detain him all night, Sir Etchin's groom left a parcel. with a note. The latter stated that the former contained the famous Etchin dia mnonds, which their owner thought safest to intrust to Arthur's care, as he had been .unexpectedly called to London. "I don't care what deeds they leave with me," said my brother; "but I don't like such trusts as these. Still, I suppose I must keep them." Of course he could not send them back ; so taking theC parcel, he at once proceeded to bis study to lock it in the iron safe. I went with ~bim, and with a woman's curiosity and love of jewvelry, be sought a peep at the gems before they were put a.way. Arthur, the best brother in the world, instantly removed the paper covering, disclosing a square morocco box, brass bound, with the key tied to the bundle. Open ing it, he showed me the gems. They were indeed, magnificent, set in the massive indian fashion, while many of the diamonds'were yet uncut. One by one, bracelets, bangles, necklets, 4thiuI lifted, and flashed in the lgrmplight be fore my dazzled vision. lHe was holding a superb eme rald and diamond necklet in his band, for my admiration, when happening to raise my head, a cry of alarm burst from my lips. "What is it, Nell?" asked Ar thur. "The man !" 1 replied. "See! the window is uncurtained, and 1. am sure I saw a man looking in from the tree outside." "Nonsense i" cried Arthur. Nevertheless, he flung up the windo w, called, and gazed in every direction. There was nothing not a sign, not a sound ; and assured as I was that I had been mistaken, he fastened the latch, and dropped the curtain, As, he"lver he was about to put away the diamonds; I gii "Arthur. wog enot be bettr to pae them in the safe in your bedroom ?" Ife agreed in the advisability, and locked tem up ; then, having ~...,ined me to een well to the house fastenings, and asked again if I was really not frightened to re main alone, night with only the servants Jane and Jenkins, he left for town. I saw everything se cure and went to bed early, lock ing Arthur's bedroom, and taking the key with in. It was long before I slept. When I did, I was almost imme diately aroused by a slight sound at my door. I asked who was there. Jane's voice answered in a cautious whisper. Seeing some thing was wrdng, rising, I ad mitted her. No sooner had she entprcd than, quickly closing, she fastened the door, and exclaimed, in accents of terror, "Oh, miss! what shall we do? For mercy's sake, make no noise-don't get a light. Burglars are breaking into the house, and I'm sure Jenkins is their accomplice." "Burglars !" I cried. Then the thought of the face flashed gcross me. "Gracious. powers !" I ex claimed, "they after the Etchin dianonds!" I saw it all. The groom's er rand had been d'vined; my brother's absence was known, I and, by Jenkins' treacherous aid, the place was being attacked. I dropped stunned on- the bed. Then I started up. At any cost-even life-the dia monds intrusted to Arthur must be saved. Hurriedly I dressed, and while doing so, heard the soft sound of persons moving in the house. "Jane," I said, having explained all to the faithful girl, "I must get Sir Etchin's diamonds." "How, miss? If you go in the passage they'll murder.you." "True; therefore I,nust get out by the window. They will not hear, for they believe the box is in the study, and it will take them long to discover their mistake." Opening the window, I got out on the veranda. How fearfully it sloped! Could I do it ? Yes, by pressing my feet against the-gut ter. 'Slowly, I went, foot by foot, until i reached Arthur's window. My heart leaped as I found it un 4astened. Quickly I entered, open ed and relocked the iron safe, and with the diamonds, more slowly and with greater difficulty re turned. Reaching my own room I did not enter, .for what could two helpless women do against strong evil men, ben ton plunder? Inzstead, I ordered Jane to teara sheet into threads, having attached which to the box, I bade her lower it to me. after I had descended by the trellis. She did as i directed, then join ing me, we carrying the box be tween us, ran from the house. We had not gone a dozen yards before the dread of pureuit and having the diamonds wrested from us, possessed me. "Jane," I said, "this will never do. Let us make for the hollow oak. We can put the box in that; they'll never find it before help comes." Hastening in the direction to gether, we managed to raise the box high eooggh to veach the hole, arid- I toppled it in. It fell with a heavy thud; I knew it was safe. I then told Jane to run to Hawthorns, the nearest house, arouse the people, and bring some of the male servants back. She wanted me to go with her, but I dared not leave the neighborhood of the .tree, lest any miserable chnce should occur of the bur glars finding the treasure. Crouch ing among the bushes some yards off, I bade the girl hasten. Scarcely had she gone than a noise in the hogise attracted my attention. MNiy flight.. with the jewels was discovered. My heart stood still, and the blood in every vein turned cold.. With Jenkins there were three of them. Through the darkness i could the wer beating 2ud searching the bushes. They had guessed we could not carry th bo far', and evidently weei hopes of finding it before help come. T wice, tbrice, they approached o near to where I was, that my hair stood on end. The fourth time it was Jenkins himself-i -that drew aside the branches and discovered me. With a cry I endeavored to fly, but the burglars instantly secured me. Hardly can 1. describe the scene that followed. It makes my flesh now creep with horror. ThEy looked around for the box, and not finding it, with awful oaths and threats bade me say where it was. My only reply was to shriek aloud, until they checked me by blows, and finally by placing a pistol at my head. I implored mercy ; but I remained firm. I felt my senses leaving me ; they, too, saw it, and by twisting my2 arms to create exquisite torture, aioused me. At last one exclaim ed, "It won't do to fire. It'll bring others upon us. Gag her and take her along to the lake !" To the lake ! What wereey going to do? Drown me ? My brain swam; but I resolved to re main firm, and save the diamonds. Reaching the edge of the water, the villains, taking me by the shoulders, laid me back in the lake, pressing my head beneath. My mouth being gagged I could not cry out, and never shall I forget the horrible sensation. Surely I tasted death 'then ! Every few seconds they raised me to demand the whereabouts of the diamonds. I answered by a shake of the head. How long all this lasted I cannot tell; but ab ruptly a fearful noise sounded in my ears-I felt the water was rolling over me, and I was con scious no more. The immersion caused the most curious sensation I ever felt in all my life before I became uncon scious. My breath went. and came at fitful intervals, and I had a painful sense. of smothering or suffocation, Which paralyzed my brain and deadened all pow er of volition. I could not speak for the *life of me, neither was I able to offer the slight;st resistance to my tormenters. - When I came to I was in my :wn room. Arthur was near me,1 and the first words he said were, "My brave iNellie ! .You have saved the Etchin diamonds. "'he hell) Jane brought arrived just when the ruffians flung you into the lake ; but they were all cap tured !" It was a considerable time be fore I thoroughly recovered from the nervous fever that awful night occasioned.- One (lay Arthur came to rme smiling. "See, darling !" be gaid, "those villains brought a few threads of silver to your hair, but-" and he held up a magznifi ent .bracelet-"t hey have put gold on your wrists. The Baronet asks you to accep)t this for your bravery in prese rig the Etchini diamonds," - GOT EVEN WITH HIMI. There was one man on the ave nue car the other rainy morning who felt as if the weather coulidn't be abused enough. 'Don't you bate such weather as this ?' he asked of a portly ac quaintance opposi , 'No, sir,' was the decided' re sponse ; 'I don't bother about the weather. If it's fair, all right ; if it's foul, all right.' 'But you can't like such a morn ing as this ?' "It's jast as good for me as any other sort o' morning,' was the calm reply. -tAnd.. you like. to see rain and mud and slush, do youn?' < 'Yes ; I am perfectly satisfied.' The grumbler' was out of pa-i tence, but he secured revengze sooer than he hoped for. In getting off the car the fat man slppeti and sprawled at full length in the mud, to the intense delighti of the other, who rushed to thei platform and shouted ; 'Do't 8V word-it's one of your .kind of mornings! If it was: one of mine you' d have fallen on a bed of nice, clean, soft, whbite, Beutiful sniow ! Stand up, 'till 1 look at you I' The fat man stood up. He was mud from boots to chin. He! looked at himself and then at the car, and feebly said: 'I kin lick you and all the weather in the country with one hand tied behind me !' i1isa antmos. FOR THE HERALD. RCIOADBRIM'S PARIS LEI TER. NO. 3. he Prince of Wales-Loan Collection-T Great Exposition. As I intend that these lettei ;hall be an epitome and referenc or after time of the magnificer Exposition whose wonders I no Lttempt to describe, those wh -ead them will do well to follol ne carefully, and I will do my beE o make them see through m yes its marvellous collections renins and art, which they hav een unable to visit themselves nd even to those who have bee ortunate enough to see Pari luring this holiday season, bu vhose:opportunities of observatio iave been more limited than In )wn, I hope they may not be a inpleasing souvenir, serving to ro nind them of events and scene iot often witnessed in the life < Ly one, and wbich--having bee mee seen are, to be remembere vith pleasure forever. With thi )rief introduction I now proceed t he fulfillment of my task. On a gentle slope which risE rom the east bank of tb Sein tands a magnificent building whos nighty wings stretch away upo ither hand many hundreds of fee )een from the distance the effect i iot particularly striking; but a Iou approach it, it seems t ise to colossal proportions, an he grand entrance fading the Tr( adero is worthy of the magnificez tructure. Giant figures guard th )ortal as if they stood there set inels over the wonderous treasure vhich the people of every land hal ntrusted to their keeping. 0: >ne side of the gateway stands igure representing Australia, an; >nl the other the Goddess of Libert vith her shield, emblematic of th~ Jnited States of America. Ani long the entire line are gran igures representing the nations c he earth. As you enter the doc 'ou find yourself in lofty hall on housand feet in length and ove isty in height, Jrescoed in crimso: 6fd gold. On a costly pedesta mmediately before you, is a splo lid equestrian statue of the Princ >f Wales and around the base, in lazzling groupe, are the present eceived by his Royal Highnes luring his recent tour of Indir [hese costly gifts by the Prince >ermission were exhibited at th outh Kensington Museum, bu aven in the most popular resor n England, they could be seen bu >y comparatively few ; and it is natter of sincere congratulatio hat His Royal Highness has ne >nly given his personal supervisic md care to aid the success of th: ~reat Exposition, but he has cot ributed such a rare and costly cc ection of valuable and curiou hings, as it has seldom been th ~ood fortune of any one individus >n this earth to call his own. A rou survey the entire collection an ook up at the imposing statu hich they surround, you migh magine them the spoils of som sonquering hero; on the loot< ;ome oriental palace. One case:i illed with2 massive pitchers, salver md goblets of rare workmanshi Ld of the finest gold ; quaix igures and curious desigtts at ~mbossed on them, some of ther ~erhaps containing the secret his ory of the dynasties to whos ~lory they once cozitributed. Lool ng into this costly collection an huttinag out for a moment your in nediate surroundings, you realiz n its fullness all th' gilded gli nrtonallows the soyof t rabian nights. The tale of ti beggar boy of Bagdad finds he: its realization, and the miracles'< he Geni of the Lamp are befo: you in all their glittering realit Bt do not pause too long for th ease ; costly as it is, is but a sma portion of this marvellous treasa house. Near by is an ivory pala< engraved with the. most beautif scroll work, the 'interior gorgeoi with oriental luxury of which pe chance we may hav~e read, b whih eyes pmfane are seldom oc mitted to see. Close at hand is a collectioh rich with the trophies ol - the chase, the spoils of those oriental Nimrods whose prey is the King of the forest. No child's play this but sport for mailed men, the grand excitement of which, Itoughens the nerves for the su e preme contest where Empires are lost and won, the weapons used, are glittering sharp and strong s knives, battle axes and spears, all e speaking of sanguinary war, an,.. of it probable danger and death; and j the trophies are the tusks of the o elephant, the fierce claws and teeth y of the kingly lion, and the royal It tiger, all tipped with silver and y gold and all attesting the prowess d of the fearless hunters who struck e them down in their native lair. Rich in golden freiwork are scat n tered around soft housings for the s elephant and the camel, and saddles t for the proud Arabian coursers n I whose native home is the desert Y sand. Two cases are filled with sharp and shining swords, the scab bards of velvet and silver and gold s being marvels of curious workman f ship. On the hilts are jewels of n priceless value, the gifts of oriental d despots wh pay tribute to the Empress of India, and who, in 0 these beautifal offerings, have tes tified their love and reverence for a her son, who will some day be their ruler and their Lord. Another e case contains robes of the finest n silk and. gaients fabricated from b. the soft and golden fleeces of Cash s mere, light and airy as the cloudy , robes that envelop the limbs of the o fabled Gods,-delicate needlework i deftly wrought by fairy fingers al y. most conceals the original structure, ,t these nre indeed fit to be-the royal e robes of Kings. Another case is L- filled with quaint and curious fire s arms odd indeed in their construc I tion, yet deadly enough no doubt a in the hands of the skilled and daring a marksmen for whom they were 3 maufactured. Here and there, in this wonderful collection, .strange e little creatures with eyes of sap a phire and ruby, and pearl peer out a on you as you pass and seem ready if to leap at you from the golden em r broidery. Almost every day some e where in the Exhibition may be r seen the Prince of Wales, accom ,a panied by his beautiful wife, whose , lovely and gentle face has won the ~. hearts of Englishmen everywhere. e Pleased as children they wander a from- place to place perfectly free s from impeistinent intrusion, and s happy in the individual liberty . which is no greater boon to a e peasant than a King. e By far the most perfect exhibit t at the present time is to be found 't* in the British department; England it took -time by the forelock. The a United States is struggling hard n to make up for lost time and will 4 no doubt make a good report. The n attendance hr been very good ever a since the opening day, though there . is not a single department that . can yet be called finished. During s the week which is past there have e been several individual illuminations d in honor of the Exposition, the *a most notable being that at the d house and ground of Madam Roths e child, which was exceedingly beau ttiful. Paris is very full of people ; e feverything is on the rise ; the if Grand Hotel put its dinners up *s last week from six francs to eight, s and most of the other hotels are p following suit. Paris is not only it full of people, but it is alsd full of e delusions, one of the most re n markable being the idiosyncrasies ~. of the French clock. 1 have yet to e find two. which keep time alike e- seven times did. I set my watch d between the church of the fade i- leine and the P'24T Saint-Denis, e and Iy missed an important en s. gagement by being fifteen minutes te to slow. ie But among the numerous hidden :e pitfalls which beset your imperiHed >f feet there is nothing that equalE c-e that delightful illusory fiction which~ y. meets you at every turn, "Englisl is spoken here," it is almost as mucb ll of an enigma as that sublimest oi ce all mysteries, the French sausage, ye whose unfathomed compound nc al enterprising gastronome has yel is had the courage to explore. It was r- the wife of the great showman Bar anum, I believe, who made the un rcomfortable discovery that the choicest of Bolognas were made - from the flesh of the donkey. We should have comparatively little cause for complaint if the sole com ponent of this aelightful comestible was the body of our long eared and respectable '-ier, but in it are remote possilities and pro bable contingencies which would seem to give value to the time honored injunction of shut your eye and open your mouth, etc. And here let me pause for a mo ment te refute a slander indus triously circulated and generally believed, that the French rabbit might be found roosting on the tops of fences disturbing your dreams at night. Never was there a fouler or more unmitigated slander. The gentle forrester may be - seen on any market day on the top of a basket witl a string tied to his leg, and the purchaser can follow him from the moment that the axe of the executioner decapitates him, to the instant he is ready for the pot. I take greater pleasure in exploding this infamous libel on Frene--M cuisine fromn the fact that the know ledge of the allegation has often filled me with serious and uncom fortable misgiving, but nowJ at tack my rabbitfricassee with ai that move mountains, and look uP on frogs as a divine dispensation with which a beneficent Providence, in the plenitude of its power, has comforted the children of men. And now a word of caution to travelers. He who would tread these streets 'with unmeshed feetMwill need to be wise as a serpent though he can scarcely be exected to be quite as harmless as a dove. If iu your walks along the beautiful boulevards, or through the delight ful maizes of the Champs Elysees, you meet a female of especially saintly countenance whose eyes are fixed demurely on the ground, and whose face reminds of the angels < which you may have seen oo-. casionally niched -in cathedraV aisles, don't raise your ees turn about, don't look over your shoulder or you are lost, go- down into your pocket at once for the prayer book or Bible that your wife or mother gave you when you were about to depart from home; begin with repeating-4he--jtig nine articles, and then slide getly~ off into the apostles creed or any other of those spiritual safeguards, the anchors of which are supposed to hold fast when your moral ark_ is in danger. If you find yourselffU still dragging, try "How doth the little busy bee" or the first verse in the last chapter of Ecclesiastes;i and if, after all this, you still experienet signs of weakness, stuff cotton in" your ears, pull your hat over your eyes, pack up your trapsa did for home, Paris is no place for yo and even that universal pan saltpetre would scareely avail your moral and spdritual pr tion. BROADBRIM, SPEAk GENTLY.-A lond bois-. terous tone shows a want of good breeding. The first principle of politeness is to make thbose about you feel pleasant, and a rude coarse manner of gnepkigis annoying to most persons.X good anecdote is related of a man, who went by the name of "Whis pering John," which was given.to him in ridicule. People said he talked as though he were brought up in. a mill. One cold morning he walked into a public house, and called out in his thundering voice . "Go~od morning, landlozto, how "Very well, how are you ?" "Oh, I'm well, but I'm so cold, I can hardly talk." - Just then a nervous traveler who svas present, ran up to the land lord, exclaiming: "Please have my horse brought as soon as possible." "Why, what is the matter ?" asked the landlord. -- "Nothing," replied the tra. "only I want to get away b~ that man thaws."r The hungrier-you are the your brain wil[ work.
