Madam* de U Tour wai leated near an open wood fire, the fuidt of a beauti* ful robe of liglit, loft testare thrown ariinnd her. “M.» darling I" rxclaimed D« la Tour, 1 could hot come before.” Aa be spoke be ihreir biiaself upon hit knees before tier. '‘Our friends bave jast goneT' asked his listener. *fea; and I am with you,” “Dk nut kneel, Frederic, there is room for you on thiii couch,” continued ■Vadanie de la Tour. "Let me remain tlius. It seems as if mast bo dreaming; that all this happi ness cannot bu real; that you are not indeed mine to love and cherish. I cannot remove my eyes from your dear face, dreading that you will vanish from my view.” Ba very sure that I do not ' propose to vanish,*' responded Madame do la Tour, ''feslerday I was the widow of L >rd Melville, and to-day I am Louise de la Tour, your wife. Yku see, strange ns it may teem, you do not dream.” Frederic de la Tour had good reason to suppose that a fairy had boon med dling with his alfjirs. Within a few m«iiths past be bad cnj'>yed a streak of inestimable gooJ fortune. He had became rich and happy beyond his fondest hopes. This was bow it hap pened ; Oi>e afternoon, while returning from his iiffice, he was in the Hue St. Ilonore accnsted by a lady who was driving in a magoificant eq'jipagc. ■‘Monsieur i Mnusieur 1*’ she called, Ttie footman had lowered the steps and motioned to De Ia Tour to enter the carriage. Astoiiislied beyond ineasuri*, be mechanically obeyed I have received you letter. Mon sieur," coutinued the lady, in a charm ing ninsical voice. A letter from roe, Madame?” re sponded Frederic, in a toue uf sur prise. “Yes; did you not write to me?” "Never, Madame, to my kaowledee,” was the respectful rejoinder. ‘'You wi;l kindly fxctise me,” con-, tinued tbe lady, “I have made an absurd mistake, and my only excuse is that you so greatly resemble a friend of mine that 1 niistook you for him Great heaven 1” she added, much confused; “what must you think of me? And yet the reteoiblance is strik* log.” Ere the lady had completed her ex planation, tbe carriage bad been driven iato a magnificent hotel. Frerieric, of course, offered his band to assist bis companion to alight. I would pxpluin further. Monsieur,” continued the lady, "I am Lady Mel ville.” De la Tour bowed. By the beauty of the speaker ho was pnaitively dazzled, and accepted with delight an invitation to call, My name is Frederic de la Tour,” ha said; “I am only a struggling artist.” The singular meeting described had resulted, ns has been said, ia the mar riage of D« la Tour, “Come and sit beside me.” continued Madame de la T»ur, “I have some- thiog to lay, but cannot speak while you remain kneeling. It is quite a story, and mnist be t^ld to you." • Frederic obeyed. ‘*Once upon a time,” eontioued Louise.' I knew you would tell me some fair story,” exclaimcd ’ the young husband; “but white yoa speaic it is music.” “Nay. listen to me, friend. O ice upoD'a time there was a young girl, burn of parents who had once been rich. At the age of fifteen the was brougiit to Paris by he father, who found that at Lyons he was gaining but little money. For four yeirs that father struggled against adversity, but finally illness seized him. fo be brief, dear Fredcric, be died in an hospital, and soon the mother followed, and tha youag girl was left alone. Had there been a fa'ry in the itory I relate, she certainly would have appeared, but there was none. The girl Was in Pari* without relatives, without friends, without means ^ to pay. She wiughc work, but obtained none. "Tiaie paned. At length e»ory cent was gone, and fur twenty-four hours no particle of food passed bo lips. Oh I Frederic, you who have never known hunger aod misery cannot uaderstand tbe suffering I might picture, cannot koow tbe paio endured when forced to ^ tud jet to iiBplor* >lai| tbe girt was compelled. At dark one evecing she crept forth from her lodging ; the night was cold and rainy, In her des peration abe accosted a young man, wha halted, searched bli pockets, and then threw her a coiu. At Ibia iuatant a gen d’arme perceived tbe gill. ‘'‘&tme,’Jte said, *I arreit you for bofiging. You follow me tc the lock* up.’ “At these words a cry of despair was wrung from the lips of the unrortunate woman.

Oome,* be con tinued, addressing the trembling girl, ’it is tinte you were at home. D.i not fear, it was only a mistaku on the part of titis good guardian uf the public peace,’ “Leaning on the arm of the stranger the girl walked on, ‘- ‘D.i not fear. Mademoiselle,’ whis- (lered the young man, placing a purse in the hand which lay in liis. ‘I will accompany you until we are out of sight of Cerberus.’ ” •‘Why;! remember tbe girl,” ex claimed De la Tour. ‘‘And also know the man ?” “I do. It was no other than my self.” “True. As we passed bcuieath one of the street lamps 1 saw your face, and iis every feature became impresspd upon iiiy mind. You hsd saved my life, and perhaps even niy very honor, and 1 bad reasnn to remember you.” To remember me?” Indeed, yes. You little thought that the woman to whom you gave niuis and protection would become Lady Mt'Nilie, and wos your fuluru wife.” This does indeed seem like a dream,” sai l Da la Tour. T > you; but to me it is reality.” A'd you, s> beautiful, so truly lovely, Ix-eaed in the open street?” •O.ico, and once only.” •I did not spo your f;ice.” 'No; for it wns covered by a veil. O.i the following day—one, in fact, that I regard us one of the happiest in my life —an olJ ladv in whom I had fortunately inspired confiJence and some interest, engaged me as her seamsitress My gayety returned. From the service t have named I was ruisod to the pustion of companion and confidential friend. 0 ie day I was presented to an acquaint ance of my patroness, L'trd Melville, He was a man of about sixty, tall, thin, but of dionified bearing. Mademoiselle,’ lie said, addressing me, ‘I know your history. ^Vill you marry me?” “ 'Marry you?’ I qm.stioncd, mucb surprixod. Yes. I have an immense estate, which I do not wish niy nephew ta in herit. My health is delicate, and my life lonely. If I can credit ail I have been told, you are good and pure. Will you become Lidy Melville?’ I love you, Frederic, who know not of my existancc. I loved you, although 1 had seen you but once. I could nut forget, and there was something in niy heart and soul that told me we should meet again, that oiir lives would ruu ia the self-s'ime current; how, I know not, and yet I felt sure. When I looked at Lird Mdiville. and saw his resolute ex pression of face, I feared he simply wished tn marry me in urder to carry uut his revenge. His persuasions were redoubled, I knew that his years wero many, and that niy fortuno would be great. I thought of you and how I could benefit you did I but possjs wealth, and at last I yielded consent, and becamo Lady Mclvillo.” How strange it nil seems,” replied De la Tour. Yes, dear love, as you have saiil, like some fairy tale. I, a poor, frien'l- less orphai’, become tbs wife of one of Pi Inland’s ricliest peers. Huppy Lord Melville I” exclaimed Fiederic, “be bad the power to enrich you.” He was happy ” continued Madame do la Tuur, “and never regretted his choicc. He knew that I had seau you be!oru our marriage.” 'Y >o told hiiB?” Ytss, all. It was not until after our marriug)*, Frederic, that I again saw you, and ulthimgh we soon learned to read eaeh other's hearts, our lips wero silent.* L'ir(l Melville was wealthy beyond my wildest expectations. He could not spend his inc.ime, and with that wisdom peculiar to him be realiz’d that while tbe difference between our ages rendered love impossi ble, gratitude would attach me tu him. Three months after our marriago Lord MeUiile died, leaving me all he pos sessed, and I resoHied never to tnarry again, unless I could espouse the one man who always held my hetrt.” “And you won the love of that man ?” Without his knowing ma to be tbe hepgar wnmi'i hia kindness had pro tected,” rej'iined Louisa de la Tour, ex tending her band. “You remember,” continued tbe speaker, “that I refused the purse.” “Yds, you accepted but one coin.” "Ooly one, and at that time 1 *as almost starving.” “liut it procured you food.” “No,” replied Madame de la Tour, unclasping a ruby necklace that cncir- cied her white throat. To this ueckUce bang an exquiste medallioa. “See, dear Frederic. 1 did ont part witb my treasure,” As she spoke sbe touched a sprin|[ aod diKlowd a coio.

Chinni.l .] This mnrninp, at 10 u’elock. Rev, Henry Ward Uepcher and his wife, accompanied by Mr, and Mrs. Pond, Soporintendent Patton, and arcportur of the Chronicle, visited the bonaozi mines. When the party reached tbe dressing- rooms of the 0. and C. shaft they paused a moment. When shuwn tbe rough clothes which are placed at the disposal of visitors Mr. Keecher ssid: “All right; this suits me; hurry up, now,” In a few minntps the dressing was completed, and Mr. liuccher remarked that if he knew where the pay ufflce was he’d go and druir some wages. All liands soon got on the coge, and getting iifT at the drill which connects with tbe boo- aiizi mines, Mr. It^iceher was particu- lurly anxious tu gain information about mini«g matters, and piled Mr. Patton with questions oa each detail that came beneath his nntico. Nothing escaped his qye, and he wanted a reason for everything. After a while Mr. Patton’s fuce wore a troubled expression, and be seemed to have an idea that the inquisi tive divine was a spy sent out by some of the New York brokers to get points on the mines. Presently the party reached a drift where the heat was iuteiise, and Mr. lit’cchcr began tn think that after all he had not knocked tbe bottom entirely out of hell. Is tliere much more of this?” he in quired, ai he wiped his nack and face with a towel. It will get cool as we go aloDg,” said Mr. Putton. “Hut it don’t get cool; I'm getting bolter every minute.” lly way of a j >ke the rest of the crowd professed that it was quite cool, and all that wns left fur Mr. Beecher to do was t'l growl at the terrific heat, take an extra stitch in his pants and stumble along. Mrs. Heecher stood the heat well, and said she rather liked it. The fact uf the matter was that Mr. I’ond hud determined to revolutionize Mr. Beecher’s ideas about bell, and, taking the hint from Mr, Patton, bad dressed him with thick, warm clothes, and the result was that the unfurtunate man was almost suff icated. The word was soon passed along the drifts among the miners that Bjecher wns there, and when the party returned tn the cooling station, scores uf the miners were gathered at the spot to get a look at the famous preacher. He chaitcd with a lew before getting on the cage, and said uftcrward tiiat he had never seen better physical men. Subse quenly the party inspected the pan-mill and assay uflice, B'ld were delighted with the trip. HOW IT FEEL TO BE STRUCK BY LIQHTNINO. A PAinoT irony. A few days aga a citiieo. who had beea oa tba lookout for a parrot fur some tioia, was riding by a house on Prospect itreet, when tba very bird be wanted was suddenly dieeevered. Hav ing convinced biibseK that Pull was a good talker, he soon struck a barf alo, aad bore her away front tbe colored woMsn, who needed cash more than pets. Ten days psssed, and yet Poll did not utter a nnte, though she had every care aod seened beslthy enough. The foraier owner wss sent for to sulve the mystery, and there was a huge grin on her couoteaaoca as she obey^ the summons. “Nttflt't* ails dst bird—nofllii’ t’ail ’cept dat you doan’ understand him,” she explained as she looked into tbe cage. Placing tbe case on a chair on the reraodsh, she gave it a shake, drew a long breath, and began: '-Now, den, you infernal, mis’ble lyin’, cheatin’—1 wake up an* gin us 1 an* let dis gem'leo eoe dat *ou am all right, an’ 1 doan’ be sulkiu* ’round oo nuM Wake up dsri you blackguard I Hoop up dst vuice, ye — villual” The parrot immediately woke up aod began chattering aod singing, and in a minute waa altogether a new bird.

Dr. Biftol, of B.istnn, who came near being killed by lightning, has writ ten an account of bis senssstion. He says its suddenness beyond conception is the marked property. It gives no time for f«ir or even surprise, and the selflnss does not appreciably last. If the blow be not fatal the restoration may be so quick that iu less than a minute’s time horses and cows and pigs and men, escaping or delivered, swarm together, under the flisb and tempest oo the oreensward. A resistless, heavy weight, steaming and running through the frame, is the consciousness I chief ly remember, with tbe idea that I bad been chosen as part of the lightningrod for a huge and ioeooiputable discharge. The experience was, moreover, a single moment in wonderland. AH customs and institutions were abolished for a time.

He reaches out timid ly witb his slick, and finding that it taps on gnod pavement, he step up to it and resches nut fur a new advance. Un yesterday he was passing slowly by our office, when suddenly some one, holdi'ig an uplifted umbrello, brushed by him hurriedly. The points of the umbrella struck him sharply over the head. The old fellow halted abruptly, being eiidently mystified as to what it was that bit him. He stood in his track, rubbing his hands across bis fnce, won dering what it could have been, and whether or not I; would come again.
