Descliamps, still a young man, in 1714 had the world already, as the phrase is, at his feet. His pictures were ac cepted for the salon as a matter of course, and they Eold at fabulous prices; for to possess tliem was a mat fer of fame. There was nothing strange, then, in the luxurious style of his apart­ ment", which occupied an entire floor cn the Boulevard Madelainenear where it becomes the Rue des Italiens. His work-room was the envy of poorer painters and the pattern for richer. Vet it was not choked with the usual ^paraphernalia of the artist; there were Bo pieces of armor, no ancient weapons, no statues, no trophies of the chase in Wild lands. In short, it was dressed like the stage, with nothing for show, but with everything that the work in band might render fitting. _ His loung- ing-room, again, was sui generis--a room for comfort as understood alone by men of srt or men of letters. Des­ ehamps, though young and formerly used to a meagre life, had now his own ideas of pleasure, and knew how, with , his large income, to carry them out. It was only in his reception-room that he bowed to the popular tastes. This apartment was small and richly though sombronsly hung with heavy Embroidered portieres; the rugs were ' indetinit in design, like the Oriental mind that planned them; the furniture was of dark, foreign woods, upholstered in violet silk. It was in this room at the close of a winter's day that a visitor awaited. The wax lights were lit in their sconces, but they only partially illumined the gloom of the lustreless surroundings. Little gleams shone fit­ fully from the carved angles of the dark woods, like the gashes of a dark eye which intimates yet conceals some ter­ rible mystery. The caller had chosen A seat in the greatest obscurity that the room afforded ; but throwing aside her heavy veil for a moment's glance at her surroundings she exposed a face which, even in ti e half-light, would have ap­ peared of irresistible beauty. Her eyes were large and of a hue in which the tiazel struggles with the jet; ber nose, delicately Grecian; her complexion, ©live; her eyebrows arched in a curve • of which mathematics with all its art Bould Lever discover the equation. There was about the face, too, an ex­ aggerated hauteur and arrogance which tnarked in those days the woman of the nobility. Her age was, probably, 25. The veil was raised only for a mom­ ent; a soft step was heard along the ball without, and the portieres, swing­ ing aside, allowed the entrance of the painter, "M. Desehamps?" The painter bowed and the lady con­ tinued, with her veil still lowered: "You are about to produce a scene from mythology?" "Yes.* "You find it necessary to quit Paris ?" The painter, not understanding the object of these questions, remained silent. "You are leaving Paris," the stranger went on, "because you cannot find here a suitable modeL You desire a woman of refinement and intelligence as well us beasly. You consider the faces of ladies of the nobility lacking in fresh­ ness and naturalness." These were, indeed, Desehamps' reas­ ons for seeking a model outside of Paris. Neither the rich nor poor of large cit es are fitting figures in a paint­ ing which reproduces antiquity. • "Knowing this," continued the lady, ^eith an added haughtiness of tone, "I have determined to take the part my­ self. Yon will understand now why, thutr far, I have kept my face and name concealed. If I have not Mifticient merit '* This Inst sentence was be­ gun in a manner as if her merits were a little questionable, and she allowed the sentence to remain unfinished, as if in so slight u doubt she had wasted wor<is enough. But the painter did not choose his models at such random. "My intended picture is Europa." he began to explain. "Site was beautiful, was she not?" interrupted the stranger. "See if I am," and with a graceful movement she flung 1 ack her veil. The painter was dninfounded. The face was the most strikingly beautiful he had ever beheld. And it was now only that he recognized his visitor. "Pardon me," be cried. "You are the Princesse •" "The Princesse de la Desgenettes. Do you think me capable of represent­ ing Europa?" w "There is no question, Madame la Princesse," replied the young man, in great embarrassment. "But, excuse me, it cannot be that you understand the design of my projected work. . llow me to paint you in some other charac­ ter." "I understand perfectly," said the Princesse carelessly/ ™ 7 Jupi to Will be 4 la Princesse." "Yon wish a model. Monsieur, and it only remains to know if I shall be a satisfactory one." "That is already decided." answered Desehamps. "Through yonr love of art, perhaps, you consent to snpply me with the intelligent and refined face that I most needed. 1 can take the head from yours at any moment yon may find suitable." Dull !'* replied the Princesse; **you are dull. I desire to be taken for the whole figure. When can you begin ?" The painter had been lionized by all Paris. His rapid life had been full of the surprises of fortune, but this seemed the most singular of alL It was so great that it staggered his crer dulity. "I see, Madame la Princesse," he began respectfully, "I see that you do not understand the picture as I have planned it. I implore you " "As I have twice repeated," said the Princesse, imperiously, "I undeiatand perfectly: J apiter in the form of a White bull, stands contemplating Euro- pa. The female figure will be full, Sosed as I may decide, and undraped. lake no more excuses. Now when can you commenoe? I leave for St. Petersburg as soon as the picture is complete." "We can begin to-morrovrffcnd finish in a week." "That is a short time. We will set twice the period. Be at my' hotel to­ morrow at 12. I shall pose there. An apartment will be arranged and the necessary material provided. Give me the proper directions for this." In a few words Desehamps explained what would be needed. The canvass was to be of heroic size. The room was to be set as a grove, with tufted green for turf. At the foot of a practicable tree would lie Europa. The Princesse mado a few notes. When these were completed she gave her last mandate: "I have one more word. Give it at­ tention. Quit your studit> to-morrow, giving out that you are about to leave Paris. Come to me at the hour named in the disguise of a woman. You will be obliged to stay until the picture is completed, and, as a man, you might be recognized by some of the servants It is necessary to take precautions. Besides you will give me your word never to reveal the identity of the modeL" "Certainly; but when the picture is hung it will be recognized." The Princesse made a little gesture as if this were a thing she had not taken into ac­ count. "I may hang the painting in the So­ lon ?' asked Desehamps. "That is your object in executing the work is it not?" said the Princesse non­ chalantly, and dropping her veil she was conducted to the door. Desehamps remained pitrified. Could it be possible his visitor was the Princesse de la Desgenettes? He had heard of her, as all Paris had, and she had been pointed out to him as she drove on the boulevards; but, by her rank, even from the highest who called Desehamps an acquaintance, she was far removed. He knew simply that she was reputed to be the richest as she was the most beautiful of Russian Prin­ cesses. She was unmarried and, with, apparently, the strongest predisposi­ tion to love, had refused the bravest of her admirers. What should he decide ? He could not pretend to instruct her in the obligations of her rank. Even if she were not a faultless model he must paint her as Europa. To do otherwise would be an insult which Russian Prin­ cesses knew too well how to avenge. Why had she come to him ? It was a mystery which Desehamps could not satisfactorily solve, "it is only a freak," said he; "perhaps she intends to buy the picture when it is done, and only poses as Europa because she im­ agines I will exert myself more for the Salon. If that is the case I shall re­ turn a rich man." The following mcrning he left his room in cliaige of the concierge, drove lor a few moments to his club, and gave out that he was quitting Paris, and then, securing the necessary dis­ guise, directed himself to an obscure hotel, where he might make the meta­ morphosis. A little later he set but to keep his strange appointment. As he stood before the Princesse's magnifi cent hotel, who shall say what passing fancies were being conjured up by his always fortunate hopes? Perhaps the next transformation would change him from a painter to a Prince. Perhaps but he had no more opportunity for speculation, for he was at the door. He sent up the name agreed upon, and in a few moments he was in the appart- ments of the Princesse. She gave a satisfied glance at his dress, which represented him as a mid­ dle-aged woman of the middle class, and then, dismissing the servant, di retted Descliamjj£g»to follow her to the improvised studio. ' "Is it well done?" she asked It was perfectly done. Lights from above fell through natural leaves in bands, and banks, and cylinders. In the centre, and where the broadest light fell, stood a tree-trunk with fan tastic roots partially imbedded in the tawny rugs which served for the gazoc. It was indeed an ideal grove, full of a light and transparent atmosphere which the real forest never possesses The Princesse gave no explanation of the pretext uuder which her orders for the work had been given. "Is there anything yon wish to sug­ gest?" ^be demanded "Nothing; it is faultless "Then prepare yonr materials. I will return shortly." "But I was to make a promise," stam­ mered the painter. "It is not necessary. Ihad forgotten nothing except that yon will continue to wear your present dress." The painter disliked appearing to such a disadvantage, but he could only submit. With her last word the Prin­ cesse swept away to her dressing-room, and Descliamps, having made his prep­ arations, took bis place at the easel and rapidly sketched in the natural objects. Be had but a few moments to attend when the door opened and his noble model appeared. Scarcely could the painter repress an exclamation of won­ der. Never had he dreamed of such perfection, such curves, such propor­ tions, such color. He paused ^ a mo­ ment, and then, controlling his voice, said: "I will not draw you as I intend­ ed ; I will make simply an image of beauty, and by Jupiter's silent adora­ tion, 1 will show what the power of per­ fect beanty is." The Princesse. smiled and. sinking upon th9 turf, became a motionless statue. Descliamps seized his crayon and be­ gan with ardor what he believed would be his greatest work. When the light failed he was given a private room and Suppl ed by a servant With such comforts as were suitable for to represent men ts were, ofcpupMctaM him; th» WM meoessary 4* a |n*rt of Princesse's precautions. Hie follow log day the work recommenced, and thus the time passed on. At first the vonng man was overoonk# by the strangeness of his position, but later, remembering how lortnqe bad hitherto favored him, there agaifi came to his mind the high hopes of exalted station which he had begun to ontertain on his first arrival at the hotel. One day he had been singularly hap­ py in his touches, and the Princesse, coming in from a drive which slie took daily after posing, was noting the pro­ gress of his work. She gave liim the first compliment he had received, pos­ sibly to spur him to greater efforts. Emboldened by this, he hinted his ad­ miration, and, receiving no rebuke, de­ clared Ins love. "Wait until the picture is finished," was the only reply, given as coldly as ) er commands; but Desehamps lived in the hope of a noble alliance. It was an afternoon of a day in the third week that the Princesse was pos­ ing for the last elaborations of the great master. The plain canvas had become glorious. Finally, when the light was at its best and* his genius most exalted, Desehamps saw that his work was done. "It is wonderful," he exclaimed with enthusiasm, it is marvellous that I have been able to execute it! Before this I have never painted. I wish my repu­ tation to stand upon this alone!" As he said these words he forgot what ephemeral passion he may have had for the Princesse, and with his thoughts on the divinity, art, he longed again to be in the world of men where he might be recognized more than ever as her priest. The Princesse had Re­ tired. Returning after a short period she examined the picture a moment nar­ rowly, and then, signing to the aston­ ished painter to follow her, conducted him by unused passages to a room on the grouud floor, when she motioned him to a large arm-chair and herself took a seat at a little distance When this picture is in the Salon," he began. She interrupted him, and there was a look upon her face which was new to him--a look of cunning and triumph. "You amuse yourself, M. Descliamps, when you speak of the picture of the Princesse de la Desgenettes being hung in a public salon. To-night I shall start with it to St. Petersburg, and. I shall place it in my palace where no eyes but mine will ever behold it. There will then remain only yourself who know how the picture was obtained. Did you consider when you came here that your possession of this secret would be painful to me?" "But," said Desehamps, "I am will­ ing to take an oath of silence, I assure you." "You are very dull again," replied the Princesse, "If you took an oath and kept it " "As I should," answered the painter with some indignation. "Even if you kept your oathr con­ tinued Desgenettes, "you could not for­ get. You must be made to forget. Do you know how that can be done ? As you have had the gallantry to make love to me, I will explain a method which I contrived before my first visit to your studio. Where are you now supposed to be ?" "Out of Paris." "And who knows that you aTfiSPhere ?" "No one," answered the painter, startled. "Do you see, now, how I shall make yon forget your disagreeable knowl­ edge. I shall simply take your life, M. Desehamps, and it seems to me that you have obtained a fair price for it." Before her in the floor was a little knob, such as is used to ring house bells. As she spoke she moved her foot toward it. Desehamps sprang from his seat. He knew not what re­ sult a pressure on the shining brass would precipitate. He only felt that the result to him would be death. He sprang forward to arrest the Princesse's movement; but it was too late. Her foot was pressed down, and at the same instant he heard a noise behind him. He supposed H was the rushing in of 4lie hired assasins. He turned and shuddered; his chair had disappeared. Where it had stood was an opening in the floor. By a rare presence of mind it immediately occurred to him that the Princesse had tried to manage the affair by herself. After all it was nothing; the yawning soace meant only a displaced trap-door opening in­ to an unused well or sewer. He turned back to the Princesse. "Your scheme of mnemonics is poor," he cried, bant- eringly. "Let us return; but first, as you have taken a trifling liberty with me, allow me the same privilege." With this, knowing that her cries might t>bring danger, he' placed her handkerchief in her mouth and fastened it with his own. Taking her back to the painting room he found a problem to solve; he must leave the hotel and in his absence the Princesse would de­ stroy the picture. He explained the situation, and taking some small ropes from the skylights securely bound her to the trunk of the treo. This done, he found his way out and returned to his own studio. There he speedily became again the elegant Desehamps, and, half an hour after quitting the hotel of the Princesse, returned with a squad of gendarmes. To them he confided the lady while he oc/upie 1 himself in the transportation of his great painting. A week later the Princesse, who bad joined depravity and vanity, poisonod herself in prison. The fatal picture took its place in the salon-; it became the struggle of the critics as to which should find in it the most occult merit; the struggle of Par­ isians was to find a listener who h|d not yet heard its tragical history. Story of a Scotch Dog. Prcf. Fontaine, of the Lyoee, at Ver­ sailles, and a companion, during a summer vaoation, found themselves in Inverness. While going about t!»e town they noticed that they were fol­ lowed everywhere by a beautiful spaniel, of which at first they took no notice. Attracted, however, by the an­ imal's persistence, they looked closely at it and found that round its neck was a small padlocked box, with an inscrip­ tion asking for alms for some poor schools. The professors were assured that the dog recognized tliem as tour­ ists by their clothes, and RS therefore likely to give willingly. M. Fountaine drew a penny from his pocket, and was about to put it in the box; but the dog prevented by holding its mouth with great quickness, ran away A few minutes latter they passed a baker's shop, and saw their collecting friend seated on a counter, and apparently en­ joying to its heart's content a loaf which It had purchased for the penny. m & \ .

He guthers it fondly onto his lap and takes first a sip of coffee, but alas! the "bad" tooth afnd four others of its brethren in the upper jaw decide that they don't like coffee, and rise right up on their hind legs and howl. The sick man howls, too, and by the time this little matinee is over he feels as if he didn't want to eat anything for the next ten years.

Say as you will, eatables taste better out "of pretty dishes; but to be pretty, it is not nec­ essary that they should be expensive. A lady was once visiting a family whose means were somewhat straitened, yet through the deftness and ingenuity of one of the daughters' busy fingers, their home always possessed a cozy prettiness peculiarly its own. "My dear," said the lady, "I was never so much surprised as when Hat- tie explained to me the modus operandi of some of her home achievements. Why, the chair I was sitting on, such an easy one, with just the right hollow for your back, was mode out of a flour barrel! Her brother did the carpentry and she the upholstery. Old-fashioned flowered chintz, too lovely for any­ thing. And then the lunch. I don't mean the eatables, which were very simple, but deliciously cooked. You would never have guessed what the center-piece for the table was composed of. As pretty a flower ornament as I ever saw that girl had manufactured out of an old cruet-stand and a pie plate. Positively! The cruet-stand was set upon the tin plate, the whole covered with this luscious green moss, excepting, of course the handle, around which were twined, so as to conceal the plating, some creeping vines. Nestling amid the moss were half-blown roses and buds, while feathery ferns trem­ bled gracefully at each passing breeze. There, you see, I am getting quite poetic over it, and no wonder, for really that house is the abode of poesy.

Calling on Mr. R. B. Watson, the well- known Superintendent of the American Dis­ trict Telegraph Company, he found that gen­ tleman cheerfully ready to say all the pleas­ ant things be could say about Athlophoros. "My wife," said Mr. Watson, "was suffer­ ing terribly from rheumatism; her pains were both in Joints and tritogcles. So excru­ ciating were her agonies' wash ihe moved, that sometimes ou assuming one position in the morning the would remain in that position all day ratber than endure the torment of being moved. 1 procured a bottle of Athlo­ phoros, and the effect on my wife was as f-ur- prlsuig as it was gratirytaR. We had no Idea that any medicine coulttso spe%dily remove such an obstinate disease. She was toon cured, and the dure was complete. Since that she has had no return of the disorder. We speak freely among our friends or the good work of Athlophoros, and have no hest- taiion in saying how highly we esteem it." Visiting nearly all the leading drug stores in the city, it was found that all who had kept Athlophoros had received from their customers marked commendation of its effi­ cacy. One lady had taken »ix bottles of it, with the result of a complete cure. At Frizelle's, on Michigan avenue, one of the clerks bad taken it with excellent effect. This young man, Mr. Cohen, had suffered greatly with rheumatism. Though surrounded by medicines of every description, they did not reach his case. Mr. Cohen tried' Athlophoros, and found that it did for him what nothing else had been able to do. From Detroit to Chicago is but a day's ride, and in the latter city Athlophoros has also accomplished some wonderful results. In Chicago, at V05 We.-t Twelfth street, lives Mr. William W. Summers, of the well- known firm of Summers, Morrison & Co., commission merchants, lii South Water streets. Mr. and Mrs. Summers gave sub­ stantially the following facts: " When Hobble was taken sick some weeks ago we thought at. first that it was only an ordinary cold, but it proved to be something much more severe. The pains were evident­ ly those of rheumatism. We wrapped the boy in cotton and gave bitn a number of the remedies such as are generally given. His agony was dreadful. We had to hold him in tho bed, his a irony was so great. We had two physicians, who did not succeed in making him any better. The poor child's torture was so lutense that he asked for a pistol, so that he might put himself out of the way and thus end his sufferings. When he was at his worst we thought of Katie Gill, who was well kuown to us, and tho medicine that had cured ber. We sent to Mr. Gill's to know the name of tho medicine and where to get it. They happened «to have tome left in a bottle--Athlophoros tho name Is--aud they kindly Sent it to us. It is surely a very strange and powerful medicine, for It stopped the boy's pain very soon and very effectually. He took but n little of it, for there was only enough for about three doses in the bottlo Mr. ttill sent us. This was only a few weeks ajro. The boy has had no return of rheumatism.

Address Cincinnati Painful Impressions; A remarkable characteristic of the sverage newspaper reader of the day is Ihe eagerness and avidity one seeks for painful impressions caused by perusing accounts of human suffering. Is there a railroad accident, a steamboat disas-^ ter. a hanging, a lynching, a murder or anything of this nature vividly written np and glowingly pictu ed in reporto- nal descriptive style, it at once becomes the most interesting item of the paper. Managers of our large and most success? fill metropolitan dailies pander to this corrupt and morbid taste of their pa­ trons. A reporter will be dispatched a hundred miles to gather the latest and most minute details of some licentious rape or revolting murder, while the deeds of the good and the virtuous never known outside a narrow limit. "Full many a rose is born to blush unseei And waste its fragrance on the desert air.' All this is evidence of mental disease, a truth that can not be contradicted. They that are clothed and in their right mind loth evil and a recital of evil ways; with them it is "peace on earth and good will toward men." "Heaven on earth" is printed on their banner, while "all their wnys are ways of pleasant­ ness and all thei r paths are peace." Not all are conscious of their mental im­ pairment; so long have they suffered from urinary, digestive and nervous dis­ orders, that they consider their feelings and impressions natural and common to even healthful individuals. But if all snch should regain perfect health and Rtrength of mind and body by using J>n GUYSOiT'S YELLOW DOCK AND SARSAPAB1LLA, they would experience a charge of feeling that would be most gratifying and pleas­ urable. moatkly. .. . unwawi- Van Co., VnkiBites 8*..
