Having nothing to do, he 'was good for nothing. Ana how could he amuse himself? When a mai^is poor, the ef forts necessary to him, his humble dis couragements and joys,-his disappoint ed hojies, are occupation enough for his mind. But it is quite otherwise to the man who lacks nothing. Agreea ble lodgings, excellent meals, rides in the Bo is end a box at the opera, -are all a man want, but they are not WJ satisfying. To begin over again every morning, and turn the same mill all day overv day, makes a pretty poor life.

He offered to show them the wav to the fountain, and with much ga?ety and kindly feeling they sot out to gether. Louise and Louisetto walked a little in- advance of their parents and La- onco. t- “Do you not think." said Louise, “that this gontliman resembles won derfully the one that was iu the res- taurant. with us?” "Why certainly not!” replied Lou- isette. “All Parisians look alike.” But she blushed as she spoke. When they reached the fountain they were already acquainted, and were mutually pleased. They would soon boyfriends if circumstances fa vored. "Oh! father,” said Louise, "instead of returning to that tiresome Paris, let us stay here till evening.” "Till evening? My deal, it is im possible. We do noi know the ways, and we have no ulnoo to din*.” “If that is all, Leonco bastenod to aay, "1 am subject to your orders. I can take you across to Clamart, where 1 know o* a pretty restaurant, with arbors, flowers and louutains, where we can diue even better than in Paris. It may be that my society is not agree able to you, but yours, sir, and that of these ladies is so much to my taste that 1 should l»e very sorry to leave you.” Mine.

"I must at least, then, introduce mYsolf' to you in a more regular man ner. I am tho Viscount Leonce do Verdun." "And I, sir,” said M. Dulaurier,* ‘am Adolphe Dulaurier, old notary; these are my wife and our daughters." In an hour they wore seated in the arbor promised by Loonqe, and were altogether friends. Leonce had ac cepted with warm gratitude an invita tion from Madame Dulaurier to visit them at tb«ir Flemish village home. "Do you not think," whispered I>ou- ise to Louisette. “that father and hiother became friends fefy easily and quickly with this stranger?" "Why no,” replied'Dc perfectly natural. Two months later Leonco alighted at tho railway station, Donia and M. Dulaurier offered his hand in welcome. Ho now had time to appreciate M.

Leohce set himself to opening his trunks and portmanteaux. At length he drew from a portfolio a letter daint ily folded and perfumed, and began to read aloud, as follows: "1 lovAyouLouiael Sweet and charm-, ing as you are, who would 'not love you?

OdB at the four witnesses carried tho sworda. The four witnesses chose a spot, and set the giant and the young man in their places. Leonce was a very pretty fencer, and parried tho tirst blows very successful ly, even scratching his adversary’s hand. The Cyclops, furious at his wound, falling upon Leonco with the force of a wild bull, pierced tho young man’s arm through and slightly wounded him u\ the breast.

"Maladroit that I am!” bo cried, fft a trembling tone; “1 meant omy to touch his arm, aud his breast is wound ed!’’ Leouce held out his hand. "IVhy tho devil, then, did you write love letters to my wife?” cried Van der Velde. "And what a silly action to throw the letter into her room! 1 picked it ap myself.” “What!" murmured Leones.
