These things may happen to anybody, and I don't mention the fact in order to ask your pity on his behalf, because his intended was a charming girl. Her name was j'Afldree-delightful name! he was .! blond agreeable color. She was : twenty years and seven months old attractive age. She belonged to : a family that was worthy of all re- spect, a fact to be considered. ! That rogue lAnatole! He knew' the young girl was in love with him ; madly in love with him. Had she not confessed to him that she would die rather Hum mnrry another? I ; . know well i hat these things are of ten said and rarely executed. But in this case, although Andree was a i blond, sh'e was the owner of an en ergetic and decided character. When she said things like this her blue eyes darted terrible lightnings. Doubtless it was this strong tem perament that prevented her par- ents from making any objections ; end placing any obstacles in her way. There was no good talking to I Andree, "You know, mamma," she had re peated again and again, "I want this matter to be finished quickly." "But, my dear child, there are certain delays and certain formali ties" "The delays can be hurried." "That is true." "And 4;he formalities can be sim plified." "I have no objections, dear, if it will give you pleasure." "Then, mamma, let us consider the engagement as settled." "Settled! Your lover has only exchanged a very few words with your father." "You know that my father does what you wish." "My daughter, you exaggerate." 'It is understood. Let us waste no more time discussing it. I shall be married on the 10th of next month." "We shall see." , "tfot the 11th; the 10th. It falls on a Saturday. I have already look ed in the almanac." . "You have thought of every thing." "I'm thinking only of him." - "Well, he is a happy man to be able to inspire such an affection." "When you were married didn't you have the same feeling?'' "The very same, my child. But perhaps my thermometer that is, the register of my feelings was not quite so high as yours is." "Well, now, mamma, let us start the campaign." "Start the campaign? What do you mean? "Find an apartment." "Is itnossible?" "You do not ish us to live in the street, I suppose ?' "Vnlhut" ' "Tomorrow morning, then, we will start out." "The" "Tomorrow, directly after break fast, for apartments are sometimes difficult to find. Now. mamma, let me give you a kiss. You are so good?' She spoke, the truth. Her moth er was an excellent creature, and Anatole Pluchin was well, his mother, her future mother-in-law, was of the kind that are nowadays seldom to be found. The day following at the ap pointed hour Andree was ready to attack Paris and ransack it from end to end in her endeavors to find the nest--that is, the anartments I of her dreams. Her valiant motner ' was prepared to accompany her. "t The poor old woman had burned her throat with her coffee and had nearly choked herself over the sugar - at the bottom of the cup. 'Forward, march I" cried the joy ous voice of Andree. Vnnno- and inexDerienced, she lit- tie knew what a terrible thing it it 1 to hunt for rooms in Paris, to climb up dozens and doiens oi.atrps.anu to undergo the searching ing. 4f zealous concierges and indif- After an hour and a half of this tnrriirM. : ft. nnfnrtunate girl was exhausted.

The girl made a remark in a low voice that escaped the others' ears. It was accompanied by an express ive shrug of the shoulders. Enter," she said aloud. ' Andree and her mother walked in. Everything most comfortable in this apartment. Quite a discovery, in fact. The furniture was commo dious and elegant and placed each piece in the corner where it best be longed, And the appointments I And the cupboards 1 And the kitch en I And the arrangement of the light ! The visitors were completely charmed. As they turned a corner of the corridor the mother looked in the direction of Andree, who stood be hind her, and said: : "Andree, I think it must be your good star that guided us here' But she stopped suddenly. "Why, where are you, Andree? Where can phe have cone to ? An dieel" A distant and sorrowful cry came In answer. "Andree. what's the matter?" cried her mother, alarmed. This u what had happened: An &ee. inquisitive little girl that she wa, liad turned down a passage and suddenly opened a door. She was curious to see what the room was like. The door, it so happened, was that of a private boudoir. Inside, as she stood, pretty as a fairy, iu the doorway, she saw a velvet sofa. On the sofa she saw, half reclining, a very pretty young widow with black eyes and a demurely sweet face. Kneeling on the soft Turk ish rug beside her, with his hand upon his heirt and an expression of eternal love upon his face, was a young man. Andree heard no words, but the noise of opening the door caused the young man to spring to his feet and face her. "Ah, Andree!" It was indeed Anatole. e e " e Andree possessed a resolute char-! acter, as we know. Sue never saw Anatole again, and the amount the courts granted her for breach of promise of marriage is not exactly known. In this way a mother-in-law who was anxious to do all she could for her son-in-law only succeeded in bringing about results that were a hundred times worse than the mpst bitter hostilities. Such is the irony of fate, and doubtless it was best for the happi ness of Andree. From the French. His Nerve. V Since the engagement of pretty Miss B. has been ah announced fact her small brother has been puzzling his head to understand what it means. "Why," explained his mother, "Mr. Skaggs has asked sister to mar ry, him. That means that she will live in his house after this and he'll take care of her." "Buy her things ?' asked the boy. "Yes." . ."Hats and dinners and ice cream and everything?" he persisted. "Yes, was the answer. The boy thought it all over for a moment and then said: "Well, ain't that man got nerve, though!"

According to Mr. Adrian Wheel er, "the pronunciation of 'Raleigh' seems to be Rawley.'" Whether this only means "seems now to be" ii to be surmised. The question it, What was the pronunciation at the period indicated? And surely that is much a matter of surmise also. "When Sir Walter Raleigh's name was told ('Ralegh'), said the king, On my toule, monl have heard wly of thee" IMW The conjecture presumably must be that King James, with a labored joke founded on the sound then giv en to Raleigh (or Rawly), meant "I liave heard Wly " with the "rale" sound that the Irish still give to the word "real," or "rarely with the meaning, "I have heard Tare things of thee," or, the tame word nth its present meaning; "I have beard seldom of thee (of late)." The aatumptioa ut '.King James art have tooiuled ' the letters nr'aa we bow do sorely requires tome proof. Now, fcU. northern records one may Had the name Meit- land (and even KarUand) speuca also "Mautland." It is eonceiva Ue to the present writer that the men im rnu - mm -j have p reflounced ine wora . ia-o- land.1' but it is inconceivable to turn jiaiiiaoa ed the name'Mortlana'," lor that la what our modern tongues have brought the "au" and the "aw" to as to sound. Is there known to be any other origin for the surname "Raleigh" than the place name "Rayleiiih?" If not, that place name stands to this day in the way of the "Raw- ley"., ("Rorly") pronouncers. En passant, it may be worth remarking that "rare meat" and "raw meat are much about . the .same thing. Can it be proved that "rare," with the "raw meaning, is anything -1 a 1 1 ; . more iituq a pnoueuo spelling ux tne sound given or old to tne com bined letters "raw ?"

A .f ; i A Little Misunderstanding. ; General Gordon said that on one occasion during the civil war a threatened attack of Federal' troops brought together a number of Con federate" omcers from several ,coni mands. After a conference as to the proper disposition, of troops for resisting the expected assault the southern -officers withdrew into a small Jog hut" standing near and united in prayer to Almighty God for his guidance. Asthey assem bled one of the generals was riding within hailing distance,' 'and 'Gen eral Harry Heth, of Hill's .corps, stepped to the door of the log cabin and called to him to come and unite with his fellow officers . in prayer.

If it is hard to know anything about the surface life of the Bigou- dines it is still- more difficult tol . penetrate their thought to know their brains are agitated by any thing but the simple ideas of the very primitive peoples, the 'naive reveries of children, or whether they have preserved some vague tradi tions of the upheavals of humanity which have ended by casting them upon this extreme point oi lanu.
