Fifty dollars a month I was offered for my services, timi ?is 1 ?md not an acquaintance in tho country I gladly a coop ted. That would bring ino food, clot hing, and shelter-- moro than 1 had boon nblo to obtain in dour Frauco. My two pupils, M. Kahui as sured ino. were well-behaved children. Tho girl was just IA. already n young lady, and tho 10-yoar boy was equally apt at study. Af?er till, I was only re quired to ttlvu itvo hours a day to teaching. 1 he tesl of my limo was ul toguthor my own, to he devoted cithor to work or sleep ns 1 pleased. It was a threatening day in April well I remember it-when 1 started out lo walk io tho great house whore I was to earn my bread. As 1 walked on I began lo dream. What future did tliis now land hold ill reservo f-jr mc? 1 had not como lo it willi any Idea of making n fortune-although a .young man of 'J.R?. I had ttcqltirud otioilgh com mon sense, lo save ino from such illus ions-hut only to earn a good living niul lay up enough to enable me, when an old man, to return to Franco and sleep nt last under tho shadow of my own village spire. S ion 1 caught sight of tho lofty chimney of tho sugar mill -Hu n tho house iiself, buried in a thick glove of mango trees, and, as I foared being Into, 1 rjuickenod my step. Under tho veranda, already crowded, 1 saw peoplo rushing bael; amt forward -running, and no one noticed mo as 1 nsoouded the front, steps oxcopt a big, fal negress, crouching nt thu entrance, who sobbed and cr.cd with renewed despair nt my coming. 'I bero on thu Boin, at full Icugtll, lay a young girl almost a child. lier long, bright hair, ali streaming with water, fell over tho back of the .sola, and had dripped upon tho veranda until a litllo pooi hud f. .med upon tho tings, Sho was winier than a piece ol maride; tho violets of death were on her compressed lips; her lifeless arms lay rigidly straight by her side; and M. Kabul, on Ids kneos be side her, was kissing ono of her hands. "Drowned, my dear .--ir, she got drowned," said n good old lady of about CO years of age, who carno tomo holdiug out her baud in tho friendliest manner imaginable. "Hut you havo walked hore," shu continued; "you must bo tired. Of course you will tuko somothiug. Myrtlll" "Mamma! Oil, mamma!" exclaim ed AI. Rabllt, raising his hoad. "You sec," ho said to mo, with a sob, "you seo sho was out bathing; tho river sud denly roso, and-" His heail fell forward again over tho litllo while hand to which his lips clung. "Myrtlll My nil!" again cried tho good lady, "bring a glass of .Madeira to tho gentleman. Or por haps you WOttlU preter something oise?" 1 questioned tho family. Tho girl had not been twenty minutes undor water. And yet they had done noth ing.-hud not even tried to do nay? . thing. I gavo my orders brtolly- thoy woro obeyed? Half an hour pns&od.

At that moment tv horseman carno up nt foll gallop. "Myrtil! Myrlil! tako tho doctor's I >rso to tho stablol" cried tho good '?.dy, dosconding tho stops to moot tho Physician. "Ah, doctor.

"Good! young man!-vury good, in doodt That is just what should havo boon dono."

Why, you old coward, havo I not al road y told you soP Hore! lot mo soo a happlor fnco on you?" And ho gave M. Rabut a vigorous slap on the shoulder.

Tho negro who had taken hor out of tho water had shown me tho evening before tho preciso spot whore tho current hud carried hor away, and abo tho placo whero ho had found her -about Hf ty yard? further down, lt was a grout narrow basin, shut in by great jumroscs, whoso tufted bruncbos mot above and stretched from ono batik to tho othor.

But tho locket wus not thoro-accordingly it must bo further down. 1 loft tho basin and followed tho courso of tho stream-interrogating all tho roots, ex ploring all tho boulders, questioning every tuft of grass. 1 was about to pan on when I saw a liltlo serpent, liko a thin silk string caught upon tho root of a wild strawberry plant, wrig gling in tho current. I seized it-it Was tho loe <et. Siie would not como down to break fast, but M. Rabtlt told mo she would coi lain ly como down lo dinner. She was still a Halo wouk, but that wa' all.

When her father had led her to hor seat, and she unfohlod her napkin, sho found a little box in it. "What is this? Another of your nt tempts to spoil me, papa?" Hut tho astonished look of M.

"My lock el! niv locket!" sho cried, putting it to her fips and kissing it over timi ovor again. 1 watched overy kiss -I looked at her out of tho cornor of my oyo.

Chanco placed Arthur Moreland in the noxt scat to mo at tho "Kvangol ino" initial Thursday night. Ho lias aged much and wears a mournful ex pression, ill becoming a fuco that was so long wreathed with smilos, whon, with u burnt-cork mask, ho pivotod tho San Fraucisco minstrel somi-circlo. Tho dissolution of that admirable or ganization still preys upon his mind, and while tho drummer was testing his hoads botween acts Arthur harped on his favorito subject. He told mo a story about Charley Backus which I think lins novor boforo appcarod in type. It was whon Peter Gilsoy was alive. Backus and Gilsoy sat in tho Gilsoy houso cafe, lt was bitter cold outside, tho mercury just buttering tho /.ero mark. Tho conversation turned upon tho stern dictates of fashion in regard to malo attire. . "1 don't euro what I wear as long as I'm comfortable," remarked the como dian. "Oh, yos, you do." patronizingly in , isled tho venerable I'rt er. ' "Von wouldn't daru go out in tho street in this kimi of weather with a summer suit ou." "That's just what I'll do for a bottlo of wino." "Muko it a cuso. " ..Call it a car-loud if you want," re joined backus. Tho wager was made, and Backus disappeared. An hour biter be walked ?ute tue cato uttirod in a white dannel shirt, straw hat with bluo band, corn colored kids, Oxford lies, carrying a bamboo walking stick, and wearing a rose in his bultou-holo. Tho lunns of tho wager required that ho should walk lil) WU Broadway to Stewart's storo and return. Ho ourriod it out to tho letter, leisurely sauntering down tho street, swinging his oaue, and ap pouring ns comfortable as though ne was on tho shady sido of tho street on a July day. Of courso ho was tho cyn osure of all oyos, but ho was accus tomed to that, ead nppoarod uot the least ncrturbed. Tho wino was won, mid Gilsoy determined to have revenge lu paying it. That evening, wheo Backus' bud responded to tho fourth oncore on one of his topical songs, he was surprised to soo n box of M um m's extra shovod over the footlights. Tho andiene.) howled anti demanded a fifth verse, lt wus followed by another ease, and so it continued until twouty boxes of wino had boon piled upon the stage before him, entirely concealing bis rotund form- Auburn Dispatch.

It is in this way thal thu course of or ganic dovcloptuout is marked here and there by nicinornblo epochs, which seem to open new chapters iu the his tory of tito universe. There was such au opoch when tho common nncostor of nscidiun and amphioxus tirst showed rudimentary traces of a vertebral col umn. There was such an epoch when the air-bladder of carly amphibians be gan to do duly as n lung. Greatest of all. since tho epoch, slid hidden from our ken, when organic lifo began upon the surface of tho globe, was tile birth of that new era when, through ti won drous change in Ibu direction of the working of natural selection, Humani ty appeared'upon tho scene. Itt tho career of tho human rnco wo can like wise point to periods in which il has become apparent that tin immense strido was taken. Such a period marks tho dawuing of human history, when alter countlessjigos of desultory tribal warfare, men succeeded in uniting into comparatively stablo political societies, und through tho medium of writlon lungungo bogan handing down to pos terity the record of their thoughts and doods. Since that morning twilight of history there has beou no era80 strong ly marked, no chango so switt or so far-reaching in the conditions of hu man life, as that which began with tho groat mar?timo discoveries of thu fif teenth century, and is approaching its culmination to-day. lu its carder stages this modern era was signalized by sporadic achievements of Hie human intellect, great in themselves, and lead ing to such stupendous rusiltta as tito boldest dared not dream of. SUCH achievements were thu invention of priming, tho toloscope and microscope tho geometry of Descartes, tho astron omy of Newton, ibo physics of Huy fliens, tho physiology ot Harvey. Ian's senses were tims indefinitely en larged as his moans of registration were porfected; ho became capable o? extonding physical inference? from tho oarth to tho beavens; and ho made his tir.-.t acquaintance with that luiuinjfor ons other which was by and by lo re veal the inlim.de structure ot maller in regions tar beyond tho power of tho microscope lo penetrate. lt is only with the present century that the vastness of the changes thus beginning to bo wrought has become apparent. Tho scientific ticiiievemouts ot the human intellect no h.tiger occur sporadically; they follow one upon an other, like tho organized ami systemat ic conquest of a resistless ai my. Each new discovery becomes ut once a pow erful implement in thc bands of innu merable workers, and each year wins ovor fresh regions of thu universe from the unknown to Hie known. Our own generation has booomo so wonted to this unresting mareil ot discovery Unit wo already lake il as a maller of course. Our minds become easily deadened to its real import, and tho examples we cite in illustration of it have an air of triteness. Wo scarcely need to bc reminded that all the advan ces m ide in locomotion, from the days of Nonuohadnezz.tr tu tho.se of Amlrow Jackson, woro as nothing comp.<rod to tho chango that has been wrought within a few years by ibo introduction of railroads. In these limes, when Puck has fulfilled his boast and put a girdle about tho earth in forty minutes, wo aro not yet, perhaps, in danger of forgetting that a Century has not elapsed since ho who caught tho light ning upon his kite was laid in tho grave. Yet tho losson of tho facts, as woll as of tho grandmother's spinning whool that stands by tho parlor (?resido, is woll to bear in mind. Tho chango therein oxomplllicd since Ponolopo plied her distaff is far less than that which has occurred within tho memory of living men. Tue development of mnchinory, which has worked such woudors, have greatly ullcrod Ibo po litical conditions of human society, so that n hugo republic Uko tho Unltod Stale.-, is now as snug and compact and easily manageable as was tho tiny re public of Switzorlaud in tho oignteonlh century. Tho number of mun that can livo upon a given aroa of tho earth's surface has boon multiplied manifold, and while tho mass of hu man lifo has thus increased, its value has bcon at tho sumo timo enhanced.-John Fiske in i\ o vernier Atlantic.
