While be waa tiling royally on has principal he seems to have amused himself with plotting dire destruction for the crowned heads of btirnpe.

He was withal only au an ateur conspirators Plots fascinated hioi. He declared that be never meant to do auy king harm, and indeed his schemes always tailed. Per haps he felt that he was to reign himself. But we anticipate.

Arrived there, he aoon wearied of the routine, sold out of the Service s?ud started for Central Asia. There hjs fortuue culminated. He fell into the good grace of a heathen poten tate, administered his government for him, aud finally freed him from all further care in the matter by making hitotfelf Rajah.

BY SUDOK CLARK. 3 V Annette Vance was a born mischief. maker. Bbe could see nothing wro sr in promoting nettv sounhhlea between her friends. It made them so uncomfortable while the variance lasted, and ridiculous when all was discovered to be a mistake, that Annette found capi tal fun iii it. But nothing afforded her quite so much amasement as getting up what site called "harmless quarrels" be tween lovers. That, iu her estimation. capped the climax of enjoyment. Wot that Annette was malicious or wicked.- She would have shrunk from intentionally doing harm to any oue. She was merely thoughtless. With all ber loudness of mischief, she could be a true friend, and such she was to Nora Griffith, who had come to spend a month with Annette, who bad been her school mate, aud trom a horn Nora had no secrete not even ber engazemeut with Justin Grey. 1 he current of Nora and Justin's love had run so smooth that Annette half blamed herself that nothing had occnired to upple its surface. Such a courtship, she felt, mast be quite insipid ; hence she resolved to do something to Break us mono tony. This, she deemed a mere act of friendship. Lovers' happiest moments are when they "mike up;' bui how are they to "make op ' if they never Quarrel I A little -tiff between Nora and Justin, from Annette's standpoint, was essential to their complete felicity. Annette's plan was simple and soon ma tured. On her list of friends was a young gentleman ot pleasing manners, agreeable person, moderate capacity, and unbound ed admiration of the sex. He deemed it every woman's due to be paid court to, and every man s duty to accept ber decision without complaint. Such, in brief, was Perciral Blythe, whom Annette lost no time in introducing to her friend, confident that he woold not be slow to improve the new opportunity thus thrown in his way. Nor were Annette's expectations at all disappointed ; though Percival had tact enough to avoid giving alarm by proceed ing too rashly at first. He was politely attentive, but did nothing to lead Nora to suspect that receiving his attentions, she wa doing anght inconsistent with her engagement to Justin Grey A fashionable ball was to come off, and Annette so managed that Pert ival was to be Nora's escort- an arrangement to which the latter readily consented, for Mr. Blytne was altogether the most agreeable gentle man she bad met since her visit to An nette, and if she must go to the ball, she preferred going with him. Now for Annette's plot. It was to wtite a letter to Justin Grey inviting him to the ball, intimate that Nora and herself had talked the matter over, and hinting that Nora, though dy -. B II a - uig 10 see mm, ana longing tor trs pre sence 011 the coming occasion, bad hesita ted to ask him away from bis business to gratify what he might regard as a girlish whim. "Whence," continued Annette." "I have taken it upon myself to urge you to eome. You can take the afternoon train and be here iu time ; aud the moruiug train will take vou back iu season for that j provoking business of yours about which i Nora makes such a mighty bother. L 1 need not mention bow agreeably surprised he will be to see you, nor make use of further persuasion to induce your coming. Knowing, aa you now do, Nora's wishes it would be akin to rudeuesa uot to respect them" Annette gave the letter lo her Uncle George iu whose house she dwek, to put 111 the post, aud kept her own counsel u What a nice little breexe there'll be," she churckled to herself, "when Justin comes and finds Mora all ready to go to the ball with Peroral Blythe, and that gentleman doing his kiliiugest to make an impression ? Won t there be a scene 1" Annette waited patiently for the even tug of the ball. She was enre Justin would come, tie was too devoted to Nora to stay away after au intimation that she desired hi- presence. As the bout at which she expected Justin's arrival approached, Annette be ; came nervous, one knew bis impetuous temper, and was quite sure to what length ! it might carry him. She dressed and . . Mas ' came down early, feeling it safe to be iu the way to explain matters should things be in danger of going too far. "Strange, Justin is not here," she aeid to herself, "It's past time for the train It mast have met with some delay. Ah I there's the whistle now.' Had Nora bean apprised that Justin was conjiug she would scarcely have tar ried so long in her dressiug gown. As it wss she bad not yet made ber appearance when Mr. Blythe entered. "There has been a terrible aqcideut," be said. "The afternoon train from tbe city was throwu from the track, and most of tbe passengers are either feiilcd or wounded. Au extra train brought on those who es caped. I "Then God have mercy on me 1 shriek- ' ed Annette; "for I am guilty of Justin's inrder." What's all this ado?" cried Uncle ; George, coming in at tbe moment, "Oh. Uncle I Uncle I" she sobbed, V a c wo wa. ictvn 1 IIUTL., I-.. 1 r oat icner i " i he one i gave you to jester- day." "Bless me !" exclaimed Uncle George j "I fear I must ask vour forgiveness. here's the letter in my pocket, I really forgot all about it." j i throwing her arms about bis sack, aal a. DECEMBER 24, kissing him over and over again. "Well, I am glad to get out o f the scrape so easily," said Uncle George, who bad expected a sound blowing op. Annette threw the letter in the fire and ran up to Nora's room, where she made a full confession, and received for giveness. When she came down she told Mr. Blvthe that, for reasons the sufficiency of which be most take on br word, she and Nora had changed their minds about going to the ball. Mr. Blythe was much tow gallant to insist upon reasons from a lady, aud politely took his leave. We have not beard of any mischievous prank of Annette's since. Let ae mast that ber cure may be permanent. AND EVA OVER GAIN. There was arTorJfuple who earned a poor living, working hanLall day in the fields. ."Fee bow hard we work all day,' said the wife, "and it all comes of the foolish enrinsitv of Adam and Eve. If it had not been for that, we ahonld have been living now in a beautiful garden, with nothing to do all day long.' "Ye,' said the husband; 'If you and I had been there, instead nf Adam and Eve, all the human family hud been in para dise." The Count, their masters, overheard them talking in this way, and he came to them and said : 4'Hw would you like it if I took you into my palasxo there, to lire, and gave you servants to Wait on yoo, and plenty to eat and drinkl "Oh, that woold be delightful indeed I That would be as good as paradise itself!' answered husband and wife together. Well, you may come np ibere, if you think so. Only remember, in paradise there was one tree that- was not to be touched ; so at my table there will be one dish not to be touched. You musu't mind that,' said the Count. "Oh, of course not,' replied the old peasant : "that's iust what I ear ' heu Eve had all the fruits in the garden, what did she want with iust that one. that waa SB i w orbidden t And it we who are used to the sea itiest victuals, are supplied wi'h enough to live well, what does it matter to us whether there is an extra dish or not on the tablet" "Very well reasoned,' said he Count. "We quite understand each other, thenl "Perfectly,' replied both husband aud rife. "Yon come to live st my palace, and have everything you can want there, so long as you don t open oue dish, which there will be in the centre ot the table If you open that, you go back to your former way of life." "We quite understand,' answered the peasant. I he Count went in and called his ser vant, and told him to give the peasants aa apartment to themselves, with every thing they could want, and a sumptuous dinner: iu the middle of the table waa to be an earthtrn dish, into which be was to put a little bird slire, so that it one lilted the cover, the bird would fly out. He waa to suy in the room and wait on them, and report to him what happened. The old people sat down to dinner, and praised everything they saw, so delightful 11 all seemed. ' "Look I that's the dish we're not to touch,' said the wife. "No; belter not look at it,' said ths husband. "Pshaw! There's no danger of wanting to open it when we bare such a lot of dishes in eat our fill out of,' returned the wife. So they set to and made snch a repast asihey had never dreamed of before. By degrees, however, as the nove ivelty of the thing wore off. ther crew more and more desirous for something newer and newer still. Though wheu they at first sat down it seemed that two dishes would be ample to satisfy them, they had now seven or eight, and they were wishing there might be others coming. There is an end to all things human, aud no others came. There only remained the ear t hern dish iu the middle of the table. "We will just lift the lid up a little wee bit,' said the wife. "No; dou'l talk about it said the hus band. Tbe wife sat still for five minutes, and then she said. "It one just lifted up one corner of the lid, it would scarcely be called opening it, yon know.' "Better leave it alone, altogether, and not think about it st sll,' Tbe wife sat still another five minutes, and she said: "If one peeped iu just the least in tbe world, it would not be any Statte or the Great Stovswall. barm surely, and I should so like to know The statue of ton wall Jackson, exe what can the Couut have put in tbat euted by tbe late Mr. Foley, the well dish, "I sm sure I can't guess in the least,' said the husband, and I must say I can't see what it can signify to him if we did look at it.' "No; that's what I think, and besides, how would he know if we peep in f It would not hurt him, said tbe wife. "No, as you say, one could just take a look,' said the husband, The wife did not want more encourage ment than that. But when she lifted one side of tbe lid tbe least mite, she could nothing. She opened it tbe least mite more and the bird flew out. Tbe servant ran and told hie master, aud the Couut came down and drove them out, bidding them never to complain of Adam and Eve any more. 1 aw 1 Air Li nx R.

(From Christian at Work J There Is no warmer Bible phrase than this "touched with the feeling of our in firmities.' The Divine nature is so vast, and th human so small, that we are apt to think that they do not touch each oth er at any point. We might bare never so many mishaps, the Government at Washington would not hear of ihem ; and there are multitudes in Britain whose troubles Victoria never knows; but there is a Throne against which strike our most insignificant perplexities what touches us, touches Christ What annoys us. annoys Christ.
