Young, rich. handsome. eloquent. sure of prefennent in the churchâ€"what was the matter with the Honorable and Reverend Ed wni d Lambert? He did what all Englishmen do when other- remedies failuhe crossed the chan- nel. lie thought he would seek the rays of the sun, that luminary so scarce in England. Perhaps it was the sun that he needed. So one day he sailed for France. and soon found himself at Ranch, where he stayed for some days, taking every morning a walk around the cathedral, carrying a volume of Dante under his arm. One afternoon he walked up the Mont St. Catherine, and seating liimse f on the grass, gravelv devoted himself to the divine come- dy. He had scarcely lost himself in Dante's sniter measure whens. stranger approached with the most perfect courtesy and address- ed him, asking him iflie was an Engl'sbman, and, if so, if he would permit afeiv minutes’ conversation. “ I wish to perfect myself in your lan- guage." said the stranger, smiling, “ and I always seize every opportunity to talk to an Englishman." “ You already speak the language fluent- ly,” said Mr. Lambert, politely; “sit down, monsieur." Resting on the turf, with a glorious view behind them, the two men soon fonnd them- selves talking glibly of thcnews of the day, of Dante, of religion. politics and weather. The Franclunan was very agreeable, well educated and up to the times on all points. 116 immediately told Mr. Lambert he was a doctor and practicing his profession at lunch. It was natural that the young clergy- man should speak to him of his own case, which he did freely, asking the doctor's ad- Vice. 'I‘hc doctor became extremely interested, and upon examining Mr. Lambert’s tongue and pulse, rave him a prescription. They wa kcd together to Rouen, and Mr. Lambert thcn noticed that the doctor had a beautiful white dog, a pointer, which gam- boled around his master’s heels. They separated as they reached the city, the doctor to go and see his patients, the clergyman to seek an npotliccary, where he got his prescription prepared. The next morning the Honorable and Reverend Mr. Lambert was better. The doctor's prescription had made him sleep. It had given him strength and he felt an ap- petite for breakfast. Months of treatment in London at the bands of the best physicians had not done this for him. He wished to thank and remunemte the doctor, when he remembered that he did not know his name. Instinct told him, how- ever, that he might meet him again on the Mont St. Catherine. 80, with renewed the top of the bill. In five minutes he was joined by the French doctor and his dog, who came bounding along, his pointer Home in the grass. The two men greeted each other with smiles and shook hands cordially. “ You have saved my life, doctor,” said Mr. Lambert, with unusual enthusiasm. ” Not at all, not at all, my dear friem .” said the doctor ; “ I only gave you a good tonic which also made you sleep. I found out (what none of my English brothers in medicine seem to have found out) that you have nothing the matter with you. Your system needs a little jogging, that is all. Railroad travel, my dear friend, will soon get you up. Now i dare say you have been leading a very easy and sedentary life, now, have you 3" " It is true, I have.“ “Take my advice. travel, ride day and night ; take no medicines, except these sirups. which I will give you; seek adven- turo, lead a more varied existence, and my friend. you are all right.” Now came the delicate question of money, and the Englishman felt for the proverbial guinea. lie tendered it to the French doctor, who laughineg pushed it away, with a very soft, \voll‘formcd white hand. “ Never, never,” he said, " for so slight a service; permit me to make my advice 11 return for a lesson in English conversa- tion!" It “as gracefully done, and the embar- rassed Englishman put his gold back into his pocket. “ Doctor," sald he, in a low voice hesi- tatiuglv. “I am an Englishman, and I hate to be under an obligation: you lnve lifted a load off my heart which has hung there for six months ; 'on have made a new man of me.

Lambert glanced at the doctor's card, feeling anew the embarrassment of the possi- ble night journey with the insane woman, and regretting his promise. in spite of his gratitude. He read on the card: “ Dr. de la Belle, Rae Antonine, N . ll." Mr.Lsnibert walked through the Rue Au- toine and stopped at N . ll. Itwas a large, handsome house, with the announcement in black letters on a brass plate : “ D . de la Belle." On arriving at his hotel he asked the landlord if he knew of Dr. de la Belle. “I believe, sir," said the man civilly, “ that he is the best physician in Ronen.’ At 1 o'clock in the morning Mr. Lambert waited with some anxiety in the de t the arrival of the train. Dr. dela Belle ad not arrived. The English clergyman rubbed his hands with great satisfactionâ€"for he did not care for this particular responsi- bilit â€"â€"when some one touched him lightly on t is shoulder. It was the doctor ! . Seated on a beach was a lady in black, with a veil tightly drawn‘over her face. " I have taken a coupe," said the doctor, “ so you will not be incommoded by other travellers. Here is mademoiselle’s purse, ticket, and Iittl: travelling satchel: perhaps she will need something. Have the kind- ness to show her ticket to the conductor. I have telegraphed to her friends, who will meet her at the station. She is as quiet as a dove. Should you find her agitated, give her a drop of this essence of sugar ; here is thfi bottle. Monsieur Lambert, Mademoi- se e." ' He then helped along the invalid lady, and put her in the corner of the coupe. He then, after arrangiug‘her with kindness, stepped out, held Mr. Lambert by the hands and talked with French effusion. as the officials hurried passengers out and in. > ‘ “ I trust you will have no trouble; adieu,” said be, giving a final word of kind- ness to his fair-patient, and arranging her footstool. 1“Oh, no, I dare not." said Mr. Lain- bert, bowing to the lady, and taking, his seat by her side. “But what a. powerful odor there is in the coupeâ€"will it not die- turb the Indy '3" "Oh, no, I think not.” said Dr. de la, Belle ; “I broken. bottle of cologne as I was helping her in. It will all disappear in a few moments.” ' ' The train departed, and Mr. Lambert, who felt exceedingly wide awake, and who found Dr. do la. Belle’s cologne very strong, tried to draw his fair friend into conversa- tion. She was separated from him by a high basket of flowers, the doctor’s last at- tention. , The poor insane woman would not answsr a word, and from her immovable calm the. doctor concluded that she was asleep. lVlien they arrived at Paris be determined that she should speak. “ Mademoiselle." said he in a loud voice, “do awake and listen to me ; I must leave you for a moment to go and find your friends.” No answer. He sought a long time, but could not find anybody who wanted a lady from Rouen. He came back to the carriage very dis. contentedly, when, to his intense astonish- ment, he found a crowd around the compart- ment where the lady still sat. He went for- wardto see what was the cause of the ex- citement. “Are you the man that travelled from Roueu in this coupe?" said the police-. man. u 17cs." “Do you know that this lady is dead? You have poisoned her with prussic acid. She has been dead four hours." And the populace groaucd. The clergyman was-speechless with horror. He tried to clear himself with all the ear- nestness of an innocent man, but his story was an improbable one. The police found on him the purse of the poor woaian and a bottle containing pmssic aci . It was the bottle which Dr. de la Belle forced upon him in the train. Mr. Lambert, stunned, half-dead, allowed himself to be carried to prison without resist- anceâ€"he was past that. A day or two later he said : ' “Take me to Rouen; I will unmask the villain ; be can never face me !" Two sergeants do villa, and other sm- ployes of the police, in plain clothes, attend- ed'this dun erous criminal to Rouen in the railway. am drove to the house of Dr. de la Belle. Mr. Lambert was sure that at the sight of his face the assassin doctor would confess all. ' ' Dr. do In Bells: was engaged at the mo- ment and kept them some time‘ waiting. When at last the police began to be trou- bled, the head sergeant bade them be calm. . “ The house is guarded." said he ; “ he cannot escape. ' ‘ Presently there entered a calm, elderly gentltman. with spectacles, which he re- moved as he looked at them. “I beg your rdon for keeping you wait- ing." said he. " ut did you want me? I am Dr. do In Belle." Mr. Inmbert trembled from head to foot. An abyss opened before him. of which he could not see the bottom. This was not at all the man whom he had met on Mont St. Catherine. “You are not Dr. do In Belle at all." said the unhappy nun. “I think that I can prove that him." said the suave doctor, smiling. Alas ! everything was inst him. The English clergyman had in on into the most terrible snare. laid by a most accomplished villain. They returned to Paris. “ I wish I could meet him again with his P‘ whito dog." saidhlr. Imbcrt, throwing his hands in the air. "\Vhite d . did you say!" asked the sergeant do vil c. I. \‘a." " Ah I" Some weeks passed and the police became convinced that Mr. Lambert was innocent; but they were yet waiting for the real villain.

" 0n the night that crime was committed this dog was found in Roach without a mas- ter." said the sergeant de ville. Later the prisoner was requested to make toilette, and was escorted to s ificent house in one of - in a the best parts of Paris. “ You are serving the ends of justice, " said the sereesnt to him. “ Be patient and observe the guests.” He was presented to the lady of the house, who received him very graciously,and intro- duced him to her young daughter. He talk- ed with ber and looked at the guests but saw nothing. Another week passed. He went to another ball in the same compan ; his young host, Monsieur dc Fâ€",sea himselfbefore him: and drew carelessly before them the curtains of a. large window, which filled half the room. It was not long before M r. Lambert heard the well-known voice of the sergeant of the lice (who in the most irreproacliable of lack coats and white ties looked like a Condo or a Montmorenci) talking to a gen- tleman near him of hunting. “ If. .is a long time since I have fol- lowed the bounda,” answered the gentle- man. Mr. Lambert darted from his seat. "It is he!" said he, ” It is Dr. de la Belle 2” “ Be silent,” said Monsiur do Fâ€", “ be silent,” and he held him in his seat by main force. In a moment they were joined by the ser- geant do ville. “ l have heard himl It is his voice !" said Mr. Lambert, trembling all over. “ Perhaps we are still wrong.” said the impertnrable individual. “ Stay here with- out maving. I will draw the curtain; look at every one who enters with a. lady; when the suspected one passes, press my arm with- out a word. _ “ Is it Monsieur de Bocage 2” asked the host in slow voice of the officer. “‘1Probably,"'said the policeman; “ he was the lover of the unfortunate Blanche Villers.” , . - . , At that moment poor Lambert, peering from behind the curtain saw the well- known smilin face and jaunty figure of thedoctor of sea pass with a young lady on his arm. He gripped the arm of the of- ficer. “It is be.” said he, choking. The ser- geant de Ville drew the curtain quickly. “The chain is complete.” said be; “we only wait for the dog. Mr.’ Lambert, your im risonment will be short. One visit more on you are frce." The next day a. close carriage with the white pointer tied under the scat, called for Mr. Lambert. ’ » “ I shall conduct you to his door. but you must enter alone," said the friendly sci-- geant. “ You are not afraid 1’” " Afraid l" said the Englishman. "I only desire to kill him.“ ‘ “No, no personal violence, please. You would spoil upretty job," said the officer. "Coachman, drive to the house of Monsieur de Bocage. Avenue J osephine.” , ' ' ‘When Mr. Lambert, pale as death. rang the bell of the inner door, Monsieur do Bo- cage, n. Parisian swell, just putting on his gloves, opened it himself. He started back. horrified, but soon com- posed himself. “ You wish to see me, air ‘2" “ Yes, you wretched murderer !” said the honorable and reverend Lambert. “ I do wish to see you." ' Monsieur dc Bocago retreated several steps. “ You are mad l" said he. ” I have come to unmask you, villain 2” “You are deceived, my brave gentleman,” said M. do Bocage. and reaching behind him he caught up a pistol and discharged it full in the face of the Englishman. At the noise and the fall of the clergyman who was stunned and blinded for a. moment, the two sergeants and several olicemen en- tered the room, accompaniei by a white pointer, who leaped up and. caressed Mon- sieur Bocage. “ Down Thanor, down," said the mur- derer, forgetting himself. “ The chain is complete,’ geant joyfully. “ Monsieur do Bocage, alias Dr. do In Belle, on stand charged with the murder of Mn emoiselle Blanche Villers, in a coupe of the railway train which left Rouen at one said the ser- o’clock at night on the 13th instant~u 8 crime which you sought to affix to this gen- tleman.

So sayine, the sergeant revived the Eng- lishman and took Monsieur do Bocage from his luxurious chamber toward twenty cars in the pulleys. The wretch looked back. “ It was you, Thanor, after all,” said he, caressing the white pointer. “ Yes." said thusergeant encouragingly, “had you but remembered to give the poor The I onorablo and Reverend Mr. Lam- bert returned home much better. lie had certainly taken the advice of an unknown medical adviser, and had varied his usual life' considerably.

Every person should know how to ascer- tain the state of the pulse in health : then, by comparing it when he is ailing. he may have some idea. of the urgency of his case. Parents should know the health pulse of each child, as now and then a person is born with a peculiarly slow or fast ulse. and the very case in hand may be 0 that peculiarity. An infant’s pulse'is I40; 3 child of 7 about 80.nnd from 20 woo years is about 70 beats a minute; declining to 60 at four-score. A healthy grown person's also beats 70 times s minute.

The proprietor asked him if he wouldn't sit down, and he said he couldn't very well, as his backwas lame. He seemed discouraged, and the proprietor asked him what was the matter. as be put his hand on his pistol-pocket and flowed, “there is no encouragement for a y to have any fun nowadays. If a boy tries to play an innocent joke, he gets kicked all over the house." The store- keeper asked him what had happened to disturb his hilarity. He said he played a joke on his father. and had been limping ever since. “ You see, I thouoht the old man was a little spry. You know he is no spring chicken yourself, and though his eyes are not what they used to be. yet he can see a pretty girl further than I can. The other (lay I wrote a note in a fine hand in 1 ad- dressed it to him, asking him to meet me on the corner of “'isconsin and Milwaukee streets at 7.30 Saturday evening, and signed the name of Daisy to it. ‘At supper time pa, he was all shaved up and had his hair plastered over his bald spot, and he got on some clean cuffs, and said, he was going to tho consistory to initiate some candidates from the country. and he might not be in till late. He didn’t eat much supper, and hurried Lfl' with my umbrella. I wuiked at ma, but didn’t say anything. At 7.30 I went down town and he was standing there by the postofiice corner, in a dark place. I went by him and said : “Hello, pa, what are you doing there 2" He said he Was waiting for a man. V 1 went down street and pretty soon I went up on the other cor- ner y Chapman's and he was standing there. You see, he didn’t know what cor- ner Daisy was going to be on, and he had to cover the whols four corners. I saluted him and asked Illnl'lf he hadn't found his man yet, and he said no, the man was a little late. It is a. mean he that won’t speak to his pa. when he sees iim standing on acorner. I went up street and .I saw pa cross over by the drug-store in a. sort of a. hurry, and I could seen girl going by with a water-proof on, but she skited right along and pa looked kind of solemn, the we he does' when I ask him for new clot 185. I turned and came back, and he was stand- ing there in the doorway, and I said : “Pa. you will catch cold if you stand around waiting fora man. You go down to the consistory and let me lay for the man.” Pa said : “ Never you mind. You go about your business, and I will attend to the man.” \Vell, when a boy’s patella him to never you mind, zuid' looks spunky, my experience is thatn boy wants to go right away from there, and I went down the street. I thought I would cross over and go up the other side, and see how long he would stay. There was a girl or two going up ahead of me, and I see a. man hurrwar across from the drug-store to Van I’eit’s dornor. It was pa, and as the girls went along and never looked around pa looked mad and step ed into the doorway. It was about 8 o’clcc then, and pa. was tired, and I felt sorry for him,‘ and I went up to liim and asked him for half a dollar to go to the Academy. I never knew him to shell out so freel and so quick. He gave me a. dol- lar, am I told him I would go and get it chain ed and bring him back half a dollar, but In: said I needn't mind the change. It is awful meanfor a boy who has always been treated well to play it on his pa that way, and I felt ashamed. As I turned the corner and saw him standing there shiver- ing, waiting for the man, my conscience troubled me, and I told a policeman to go and tell pa that Daisy had been suddenly taken with worms, and would not be there that evening. I peeked around the corner and pa and the policeman went off to get a drink. I was glad they did, ’cnusu pa needed it, after standing around so long. Well, whenI went home the joke was so ood I told ma about it, and she was mad. guess she was mad at me for treatin pa that way. I heard acome in aboutllo'c ock and ma was real ind to him. She told him to warm his feet, ’cause they was just like chunks of ice. Then she asked him how many they initiated in the consistory, and he said six. and then she asked him if they initiated Daisy in tho consistor , and pretty soon I heard pa snoring. n the morning he took nic into the basement and ave me the hardest talking to that I ever had, with a. bed slat. He said he knew that I wrote the note all the time, and he thought he would pretend that ho was looking for Daisy, just to fool me. It don’t look reasonable that a. man would catch epiwotic and rheumatism just to fool his boy, does it? \Vhat did he give me the dollar for? Ma. and pa don't seem to call each other “ t" any more, and as for me, they both loo at me as though I was a hard citizen. I am going to Missouri to take Jesse James’ place.

Origin of “8.” There are a number of theories for the ori in of the sign of the American dollar. no is that it is a com- bination of U. S., the initials for the Unitul States; another, that it is a modification of the figure 8, the dollar being formerl call- ed ii “piece of ei ht,"snd designated y the character 8-8. ' he third theory is that it is a combination of H. 5., the mark of the Roman unit. while the fourth is that it is a combination of I’. and 8.. from the Spanish pew duro, which signifies “half dollar.” In Spanish accounts pew is contracted by erlr ing flies. over the l’. and placing it after the sum. But the best origin of the sign is offered by the editor of the London White- hall Review, who once propoundcd theqnes- tion at a dinner party, at which the Amer- ican Consul was present. As no one could tell. the editor are the followinv explain» tion: “It ists an from the Spanish dollar and the sign is to be found. of course, inthe association-of the Spanish dollar. 0n the reverse of the coin is a representation of the pillars of Hercules, and round «sch pil- hr is a scroll, with inscription lPlus Ultrs.’ This device in warse of time degenerated into the sign whieh'stsnds It’praeut fortbo American as well as 8 ' h dollarsâ€"8.

The whole family become, as it were, parasites to the elephant by whom they earn their living. It is 0in ' a question of degree to what extent an elephant may be trusted with n baby : but I have seen a baby placed by its mother systematically under the elcpli'int's cure, and within reach of its trunk, whilst the mother went to fetch water, or to get wood or imitcriuls to cook the family dinner. No jnvknl or wolf would be likely to pick up and carry ofl'a baby who was thus confided to the cure of an elephant ; but. most people who have lived a life in the jungles know how very possible if. is for a jackul or a wolf tornrry ofl'u baby, even when lyilu.’ in a but, when the woman's back is turned.

Aristotle speaks of it under the appellation of the India ass, ll. 0. 304. Asa mythological figure the unicorn has since been mentioned by historians as an heraldic emblem. \Vbcn James I succeeded to the crown of England in 1603 he adopted the figure of the unicorn to support. with the lion, the royal arms, the supporters of the Scotch arms being two unicorns.
