ARTHUR.
Several years ago I lived In a narrow
street near the Champs Elysees, knowi
as the Passage des Douze Maisons.
Picture to yourself this silent and. de
serted corner of the faubourg, over
shadowed by the grandeur of a inorc
aristocratic neighborhood, and its still.
ness only interrupted by the occaslonia
noise of a rolling carrige.
Year after year, whether from ava
rice or 'indifference, the owner of t h
property loft It unimproved, hi strange
contrast to its beautiful surrounding
The low houses, with no brighter out
look than their tiny and neglectoi
gardens, were most awkwardly built,
the steps running np on the outside,
with here and there wooden platform
used for the two-fold purpose of dying
clothes and for affording refuge to hall
starved cats, lpet ravens and tame rab
bits. These tenements were the homer
of mechanics, of people forced to prac
tice the diiest economy, of artists (the
- latter attracted by the trees), and neai
by. were some lodging houses of sc
mean an aspect that the fact- of their
having sheltered misers from time im
memorial seenped loudly proclaimed.
Yet--in. this immediate "-vicinity laa
the Champs Elysees in all its noisy bril
lianey. There one heard a steady roll
of wheels, a constant clanking of lar
ness 'chains, quick footsteps upion the
pavements, or the heavy shutting of
gates after some emblazoned carriag
had 'attlel through them. At time.
the mu fled sound of a piano, or of the
violins in the Mabille, fell upon the ear,
and, forming a background to all, wer<
rows of imposing dwellings, graceful11
standing out against the sky; their win
dows, half.shaded by soft, silken drap
eries, reflected from their glitteriu2
panes the gilt of the candelabra and th
varied hues of rare and many colored
flowers within.
This gloomy Passage des Douzc
Maisons, lighted by a single street lamp,
seemed, like a side scene of tile more
brilliant neighborhood. All that fot
the moment was sup)erfluous to the
splendor thlere, couirted idleness here:
liverted servants, clowvns in costume, i
Scolony of English grooms, hostlers from'
tlie circus, tihe twvo little hlippodromc
riders on their famoeus p)on11s, and( one(
might even see tiny goat wagons and
pretty toy thleatres, suggestive of chil
dren's -amnusement. In the midst of
this,' howvever, a dreary procession of
blind men, wvho cleverly converted thoiu
misfortune into capital, and evenin~
after evening they would wander bacik
to tihe alley, carrying thieir camp stools,
accordi'ons and wooden bowls.
During my resi(lence in the street one
of these poor creatures married, and his
wedding was the occasion of a night's
merrymaking, a fantastic concert, to
which clarinets, hautboys, organs and
-accordions all contributed, giving forth
those sq -.-~ familiar to each and
every brius '?aris. Quiet usually
reigned supreme in this quarter, for
these street . vagrants seldom returned
bsfore dunk, and then indeed with very
weary limbs. It was only on Saturday
nighmt, after Arthur had received his
wages, that there wvas any disturbance.
Arthur was my nleighibor. A thini
wall, lengthened by a trellis, was all
that separated my humbihle lodging from
., the room whlich he and his wvJfe occu
pied. Thus, in spite of myself, thiere
was thie necessary intimacy of p)roxim
ity, and every Saturday. I Was forced tc
becomeo the silent witness of a hiorrible
d rama, so often enacted in the homes
of our Parisian workingmen.
The opening scene was invariably thc
same. ,The wVomfan would be0 prep)aring
*the diner wvhile the chilldreni playedl by
her side. No matter how busy shet
might be, sihe always -spoke0 gently tc
them. Seven o'clock, 8 o'clock-no
body I As the hours passed her voice
would chango, and stilled sobs seemed
to echo her anxiety. 'Then the little
Sones, growing hungry and1( tearful,
would b~egim to fret. Their father did
not come; they must eat without him.
Bly and by these tired children would
A. drop off. to sleep, one after tihe other,
~s and as the mrothler stepped out on the
y' partow wooden balcony I could -hear
per orying bitterly -and murmuring,
Oh!a the wrohi tihe wr'etcl'!
The neighbors coming home saw and
pitied her. "You had, better go to of
Mine. Arthur. You,kuov wellenoug
that lie has iln idea of returning to yo
on his pay day."
Then would follow 'advice iningle
with il gossip. "I -would not ac
thus were I in your place. Wlly un
complali to his mastdr?"
But this sort, of coninilseration ' on1
served to: Make her weep the. mo;e, all
still hoping, she woultl patiently waII
The doors opening .into the silent al e
being closed, . fancying' herself' al1

lives in the atreet, she would lean o
her elbows and loUdly relate her talo.<
suffering, thought having concentrate
upon the liked idea of her misery.,.Sotm
times it was the .overdue rent, 'somi
times the dunning trades-people, or pe
Iaps the baker, Who refused to supp]
her longer with bread; one or all
these causes contributing to her worr;
What would happen were Io. again I
come home without money?
At last, growing.weary of listonii
for his tardy footsteps, of counting ti
sluggish hours, slie would go in, bt
long afterward, when I imagined her a
rest, I could hear someone' coughti
on the other side of the partition. -Poo
unfortunate womanl She was still ther
tortured by anxliety, strainhig. her ey
to penetrate the gloom, and seeli
nothing save her own distress.
One O'clock, 2 o'clock, often later,
voice might be heard singing at the en
of the street. Arthur was roturiini
Usually some comrado walked with hi
as far as the door' "Come on, con
on,' and. even1 there he \vould loite
for, knowing full well what awaite
him beyond its threshold, he felt' tS
cowardly to knock. As lio mounte
the stairs the stillness of the house le1
an emphasis to his heavy tread, an
made hin experience something akin t
remorse. Ile would talk aloud to hin
self, pausing on each wretched landinc
"Good evening, Mime. Weber; goo
evening, Mine. Matthew," and if to
salutations failed to elicit any responsa
a stonln. of curses followed until eyer
door-and window opened, and his ow
profanity 'would be returned with It
terest.
This was plecisely what lie wantec
When lie had been drinking, nothinl
pleased him b~eter than brawls, fo:
thus fortified by*an er, hie-coukt weai'
bolder-face as he knocked at his ow.
door.
This homecoming ivas terrible l
"OpenI let me in."
Then I could hear the worman's bar
feet crossing the floor, the striking c
in tches, and the man, even as lhe stur
bled in tryiig to stamimCr an excuse
always the same, however; bad con
pany, foolish Impulses. Ahi the slor
is an old one--old as the hills, and 11
woulan never paid attention to it.
"The money?"
"I have iio more," Arthur's voice ra
plied.
''You lie!" So he did, in fact, fo: i
the midst of his carousing ho alway
managed to keep a few sons, lookin
forward to Monday, when his thirs
must again be satisfied, anL it was fo
this small balance of his wvages thiat hl
wife struggled. A rthur never yleldes
it easily.
"Sin.ce I tell you,'' lie exclaim ei
"that I have spent it all eon drink.
Without answering a wordl, she woul
angrily catch hold of him, anid wvit
lher whole strength shake him, searel
through hiis clothes and empty lis p)o(
kets. In the course of a few minutes
could hear money roll upon the groun(1
the woman seizing it -with ui cry .
triumph.~
"Ohi I was right, you see!" Thle
an oath, heavy blows; the drunkard wt
taking his revenge. After once givin
vent to his passion nothing could arre:
its flood. All that is evil or destructiv
in the vile liquor sold at low drinkin;
shops roso to his brain, seeking an oun
let for its wvild frenzy. The wil
screamed; the chIldren, rudely startlei
from their sleep, began to cry, and Lh
very furniture of the miserable hov<
seemed to co these dismal, hecartreil
ing son'nds1. The window. would b
thrown open in tihe alley, and som,
could( be heard explaining:
"It is A.rthur, onily Arthur!" Occa
sionally the fat.her-in-law, an old.rag
picker livinig ini the next house, wvoul
run to his daughter's assistance' bu:
Arthur, fearing interruLption,- alway
took the p)recautlin of locking t,ho dooi
TIheni wvould ensue throngh t,be keyhol
between the father and( his soni-in-law

tails:
"Ah, robber!" the old 'man' woul
cry, "were your two years In jail nc

wretch loudly answerinig:
"Yes, for two years I was In prison1
whuat of that? .1 at least have p)aid m
dlebt to-the wvorl. Why (10 you not I
thio'same?"
It ivas Arthur's habit to regard thi
matter In this light: iehad stolen, hi
had served out lisa limo for the theft, s
he andl society weore once more up)on ai
equal footing. But it w~as hard to cdn

Arthur wvould becomo miore furious ana

r, Balcony and Veranda Gardening. -
d
o Balcony and veranda gardening dif
d for from window gardening proper, in
it being carried on in the open air, -while
d the window garden is upon - the inside
o of the window. One sees in our own
i- cities, very little attention given to'
, balcony gardening, -as compared witl}'
d Europ^an cities, especially London and
e Paris, ,viere the houses are generally
built with stout balconies projecting
y from the windows, as if to encourage
n 'gardening in them, and one cannot go;
1. far, wihethe' in the rects of costty rest
dences, or in those fetho hmntzer and
1. poorer 'eo le, without meeting- iyith
g 'ine ox np es of balcony gardening,+
e,- which inc icitd a love for plants and
a -Iglowtrs .n the pairt of those who dwell
n within, such as scarlet geraniums, etc.
Veranda gardening affords one more
space, and a wider scope for the exer
cise of gardening skill than the balcony:
o The veranda, if it extends across the
f front of the house, and the front' door
i- is entered from it, affords room for
- much tasteful" arrangement of plai ts.
h- Vines and climbers of' hardy ' kinds,
y planted in the border -outside, may be.
o traIned up the pillars, or upon wires,
but not in such profusion as Lo- make
too much shade for the plants on the.
veranda. Most of the finest Fuchsias
aro summer blobmingi and are ospecially
n suited for the veranda. ' These .planp
s are best seen from beneath, and if they
g can be set where one ascending the steps
t can look up at them, the effect, will, be
r most pleasing, Another set of the most
13 brilliant summer-blooming plaints are
1the Cactuses, especially of the genus
(ercus, such as the old1 . spcetosisst.
mus anid its varieties, \vhich p)roduce,
'wit,h lttl'e.houble, the largest ilowvel.
of dazzling brilliancy. The more amplle
hi room of the veranda allows of the use
iof much larger p)lants than can be ac
cornmIodated on the -balcony, and
IPalms, Dracenas, and other large sp)ecl
niens may b)e grown there. The Oiein
dfters (Neriumn,) though old-fashioned,
are line summer-blooming shrub)s, state
ly, with tine folia'ge, 'and with flowers
avarying from white to deep rose color.
They aire excellent plants for the verain
dIa. Shrubs that are not quite hardy,
Ssuch as the European Holly, esp)ecally
the variegated kinds, are fine decorat,ive
plants, n are small Coifers.

BDrooko began collecting tilli, imd tp
villagers' children used, to take to her
those which they picked up, receiving
a' shilling or two in . exchange. ; One
day, a little girl, who had come from
some considerable; distance, called and
offered her it'peb'blo, bit as Mrs.
Brooke thought it useless, she refused
to buy it. Presently her brother asked
,h r:tc'c.ih lhei' mInd, for, :i $d ak1g

and was crying bitterly at having to go
;lomo empty-handed."
So Mrs. Brooke kindly told him to
take the stone, and give the bairn what
she wanted-for it. A few weeks later,
a friend, wholiad travelled liuch, and"
knew South America well, viewed the
pebble with great interest, nihd at
length remarked,.that If he hiad been
in Brazil and had seen the' stone there
ho wvoul have felksure that it was a
diamnond. The stone was at once sent
to a skilled jeweller, and lie r'eported
that the traveller's opinioin was right,
(mnd iery sooun the Loch Earn pebble
*was set in one of Mrs. Brooke's (lia,
m~rond rings. Unfortunately, no trace
'could be found of- the little girl, and so
shie was not able to share the fuirthier
'reward that would Ihivo been 'betoWed

The walk of the American I'nglish

strictly speaking,-a walk at all, but a
stride. The feet are kept well apart
and the toes are turned slightly in as if
the walker wore.spurs. The loft arm
is curved atnd is permitted to swing but
very little. The cane is carried perpen
dicularly andI the point is brought upoil1

the walker. It is not good form to
