But, oh, be still, my heart!

Bar last farewell was for thee.
The day that she went away?
Where art and poetry were born

She has sailed to the isles of the morn,

On the purple hillside grows:

And slaked her thirst in the snows.

1 was not tbe only guest received at
thh hospitable mansion. Another per
son had his {date by the side of mine,
young Anatole Bru haut. principal clerk
of the manufactory, the future partner
and son-in-law of Dutailly. This quiet,
serious and somewhat diffident young
C m was very much in love with tho
nghter of his {nitron, and Mile. Ger
trude was not insensible to his affection.
Without having exchanged a word, tuo
attention* of Brichant were received
with favor by the Dutuillya, and tho
union of the two young people was tacit
ly agreed upon; but unfortunately the
war postponed the event.
Brichant, a corjiural in the corps,
moved to the Seine and barracks of St.
Penis, did his duty as a soldier consci
entiously, as he did everything else, but
without enthusiasm; it must be con
fessed he execrated this siege, which
postponed his happiness, .and ’mildly
criticised tho Operations with a littlo
fitter feeling. These criticisms did not
fail to Irritate Duttrilly, who was a fol
lower of General Trochu. There was
something else; The Times just at that
time published a series of articles whoso
author reconstructed the military opera
tions of the province according to his
Own fancy.
Dutailly had taken these fancies as
matters of fact. Ho placed his little
flags on tlie chart, at tho points decided
tjpon by (he strategist of The Times,
followed With anxiety the fictitious
marches And counter marches, and pre
dicted after a brief delay decided vic-
fbries for us. Bricliaht, incredulous, of
fered a timid objection. Dutailly was
excited and angry, f interrupted to
stop the discussion, but the host at the
Tiottom of his heart was not 6onsoled for
gll the battles his clerk prevented him
ftom gaining. „■ # .
* The presence of a new guest compli
cated the matter still more. 1 was sur
prised one evening arriving late to find
fiiy place at the right of Mine. Dutailly
occupied by a red faced, broad shoul
dered and boastful stranger. He wore
tpe epaulettes of a captain on his fan
tastic uniform—the cast off clothing of
some theater—and w\ts shod with enor
mous boots, in which it w as impossible
-for me to recognize a hero.

Here Is a good story of a doctor
and a painter's wife. The doctor's
name doe* not appear, but the painter
was Mcixsonicr. Mmo. Mrissonier
sent for tho family iihysician in a
groat harry. He came, thinking
some illness had overtaken the artist
But it was not the artist; it was only
a lapdog. Ho pocketed hi* pride
and attended the putiout, who soon
recovered. At the end of tlie year
the bill came in, but there was no
item for attendance on tho dog.
Mme. Mcissonior noticed tho omission
and told tho doctor to cliargo. He

“Mr. Silver,” said ebe after we had

“Well, yes," said L
~ “For instance," mid she, “here is an
elegant carriage that you have brought
for me. and yet tbe party is not half a
mile away.”
This certainly woe very refreshing. 1
had actually squandered one pound to
have this carriage for the evening, and
she was not pleased with it 1 know

“Mr. Silver," she remarked again,
“this is tbe last party 1 am going-to tins

“No,” said she. “Mamma hasn’t tho

Silver,” she continued, “can you really
afford to spend so-much money on so
ciety?”
1 looked at her. There was honesty
fairly shining out of her pretty black
eyes, even if she wasn't very polite, so 1
answered her honestly:
“No, Miss Beaufort, 1 cannot! 1
haven't saved a penny this Winter, Mid
1 get * big salary too. It seems idiotic.”
“1 have met yon so frequently I feel
quite well acquainted with yon, though
1 expect I have been a little impolite.”
“No,” said L “I am glad that
take that much interest in me.”

a splendid time at the party and enjoyed
Miss Beaufort’s company very ranch. I
found her level headed and bright, if
she waa too frank.
