"You could nerer look otherwise then 1 like s groUctnsn, Gray," said Mr*. Cle- 1 meol with maternal pride. "But if >uu I ! not orer -exerted your brain and eyes much at Heidelberg last year, all this 1 care and worry would bare been dlspenj sed with." ' "Nerer mind (bat now, mother dear," 1 ! 'said Gray, feeling a slight tinge of re- « morre as be looked, at ber fair, aniious ' "I'm alrooat all right now, you 1 and what's done can't be undone." ' Then kissing ber good bye, and promis- ' not 10 go tar.be strode down the great ' Moee rtrpt, gaily whittling "Robin Adair," . • ' It was a lorely August day, and Gray 1 found the air to pure sod bracing that be walked much further than be Intended ta. I He bad walked several miles out of the 1 city before he bad realized that be was be. 1 coming rgry tired. The sunshine was ao warm, tea, that Mr brain began to reel. IJe decided to oak for t drink of water at the rery next bouse, and ml there be■lore reluming borne. The next house prosed to be an elegant pictureaqoe Tilla in the Queen Anne tiyle of architecture, with tpacioua gardens and orchards. Ererything was in the most refined, exquisite taste. A young girl was bendiog orer a ratchufb. clipping the great blushing flowers and arranging thetn in x bouquet. Gray thought be had nerer teen such a rbtoo in all bia life. Her hair bnng in two ahtnlng braids down her waist, aad war lied wl* rose-colored ribbons. She was clad in tbe roost bewitching of German peasant cost a me*, which barely reached the trim ankles. If Gray bad "been leas exhausted with bis walk, leas dizzy, tnd if tbe hideout goggles bad not obscured bis tight, he would hare oertalnly noticed that tbe gown waa too rich a fabric for a peasant's wear, and that It was more of a modern aesthetic costume than anything else. "Pardoo me." be said raiting hit bat with bis old inimitable grace; " may 1 trouble you for a drink of water?' Tbe bat made me decidedly thirsty." He (poke In German, without malting icy serious grammatical blunder*, thanks to bis Heidelberg trmlnlsg. The girl looked quietly np at tbe sannd of bit yoicc. evidently not catch log tbe meaning of hit words, tbe surprised look en ber face quickly succeeded by ooe of pleasure and delight. "You are Professor Van Tbiril" aba exclaimed holding up both bands, which you may be aura. Gray arms not loog In ! taking She spoke In German, too, but by no means with a fluency of a satire. "I'm ever ao glad you decided to qosne at last even at tbe eleventh hour. Oh. why I didn't you come before? We bare been waiting for you over a month: but now I mi mm* has gone to fori:.

After all it U not ' ' impossible that Josephine's coldness may 1 been atqnuUted.

Her share in tbe dangers and glories of 1 t that wonderful Italian campaign was then 1 I described— her social victories at home and 1 abroad.

"Do you are that gentleman!" said Napoleoo. pointing him out to Arnault; "be Is my rival." Arrogant and intrusive, like moat lave rile*. Fortune bad great faults; be wu noisy, and bit everybody, Napoleoo included. Ooe dtj at Moatebcllo, he wu Imprudent u to attack a great dag belonging to tbe cook, a fierce mastiff wbo ! laid bim low with ooe bite.

The gentlest, most Indolent of Creole* controlled the most self-willed and imperious of men. Bonaparte ooold win victories, accomplish miracles, create or destroy governments, but he oould not turn a dog out of doors. The R ad-Coat Witneaa. Daniel Webster wu fond of a good story, and told a number illustrating hit early life in New Hampshire,— (Joe evenat a convivial party, where be and sever*) distinguished lawyers were present , Ike conversation happened ta turn on tbe legal profession. "Wben I wu a young practitioner," said Mr. Webster, "there was" but one man at the New Hampshire of tfhom I wu afraid, and that wu old Barnaby. -There wrre but few men wbo dared to enter the list with blm. On occasion Barnaby wu employed lo defend a suit for a piece of land, brongfal a little, crabbed, canning lawyer called Brace's case wu looked upon u good u lost, when It wu ascertained that Barnaby wu retained against bim. The suit came on for trial, and left no atone unturned to gain the victory. The testifor the plaintiff wu very strong.aad unless it coold be impeached, the case of tbe defendant wu lott. The principal witness introduced by lbs plaintiff wore a red coat In summing up for ta defence, old Barnaby commenced a furious attack this witneaa, pulling his testimony all pieces, and appealing to ta jury if a man wbo wore a red coat wu, under any circumstances, to be believed. 'And who it this red-coaled witness?' exclaimed 'but a descended of our common enemy, wbo bu striven to take from us liberty, and would Dot hesitate now deprive my poor client of bit land by making any tori of red coated statement" During this speech Bruce wu walking up sod dawn the ber, greatly excited, and convinced tat bia case wu gooc, koowagaintt anything British. Whilst, however, Barnaby wu gesticulating and leaning forward to tbe Jury in bia eloquent appeal bis shirt bosom opened tligblly.and Bruce accidentally discovered that Barnaby wore red undershirt.— Brace's countenance brightened np.
