“ Mademoiselle," said ha, aa ha
stopped to rest and sat down on a stiff-
backed chair, "shall I be perfect by
Wednesday ?”
In his French way, ao entirely desti
tute of shyness, be had told her all
about the important event which was to
come off on feat Wednesday, bad ex
plained how anxious he waa to see his
future wife, and how graceful and
chamumts aha waa—she must be " feat
angel of a demoUelU." But all this
had taken place at fee first lesson, and
for seme reason Monsieur le Vioomte on
this occasion had said much leas of the
forthcoming event.
" Assuredly, monsieur, mademoiselle
shall have no reason to complain. Bnt

He was an indulgent aether, and ah*
had been allowed much more liberty
than French girls generally enjoy be
fore mahiage. Possibly, therefore, she
was not quite no resigned to her fate as
those around her supposed; but she
gave no sign of discontent, and perhaps
was waiting to see her future husband
before she decided to oppose her father's
wishes. More probably she looked am
fee union as a matter of coarse.
Mademoiselle de la Penthiere bowed
low in answer to fee Vioomte’s reveren
tial salutation; but, with fee modesty
of a young French girl, she shaded her
e man bis eyes wife her large orient
al fan, ao feat in fee gathering dusk he
could not at once determine what she
waa like, save that she was elegant,
graceful and very beautifully dressed.
After a few phrases of cordial court

which will be June 24, next year. This
is not because he ie in foil physical and

ever preached—but because, aa ia re
ported, he ia unwilling to ran any risk of
intellectual decline in the pulpit, of
which he seems to have a dread. His
father, Rev. Lyman Beecher, lived to be
more than eighty-seven, but had not
preached regularly for s number of
years previous to his death.

lt Is a great mistake to have large
quantities of trait, biscuits, etc., lying
about s sick-room.
A very few grapes, an crangs peeled
and divided, and two or ferae tulk or
water biscuits are quite enough to have
displayed at one time.
The same may be said of food.
I have often been pained, when visit
ing some of my sick pensioners, to aee
their friends, with well-meant but mis
taken kindness, bring large basmfuls of
horrible compounds, which they dignify

The mere sight oi fee food seemed to
set them against it Whereas* if a little
care had been bestowed mxto its prep
aration, and a small cupful provided in
stead of fee large quantity I name,
they probably would nave partaken of
it wife pleasure.
Another error, committed wife fee
beet of intentions, is to keep asking fee
patients w hat they would like, if they
could take t^us thing or the other. The
sickened, wearied expression I have
often seen flit over fee faces of people who
are recovering irtan a lingering tllnem,
