Agent for the famous Instruments d by R. 8. Wilson of Toronte.-- Melodeons, Violins, I was stopping at the Hotel Windsor, at Rue de Rivoli, Paris. One morning I was smoking in the colgnnape when a tall elegantly dressed gentleman asked permission to light his cigarat mine. I'saw at once that he was a Frenchman although his 'English' was nearly perfect. i ¢ Have you heard the news ? he inquired. x "No. .».5 In it possible? why all-Paris.is alive with it at this moment.' « What has happened ?"'

She was beautiful-- beautiful as an angel," he added, stroking his whiskers with an un- mistakable air of vanity : T knew her well." : "Indeed." «Qh, yes! there are in Paris few popular women unknown to me." His manner was now decidely conceited, and I felt disgusted. My he soon left me. Afterwards I heard from others accounts of the late tragedy. Among the details of the affair was one which peculiarly impressed me--and which my first informant had not spoken of--an oversight which surprised me, as the occu- rance was of that kind which would be most likely to strike the fancy. Upon the throat of the Countess the marderer, in throttling her, had left a mark from a ring he wore --the impression of a chariot wheel with a star in the centre, « This" said my latest informant, « may lead to tho discovery of the murderer.

A week later I was aboard the steamer bound: from Calais * to Dover. Among the passengers I beheld one whose faco looked familiar to mo. Iwas not long in recognising this person as the same I had seon in front of the Hotel Windsor, and who first had informed mo of the murder of the Countess.

Gentlemen never keep their hats on in the presence of ladies, and if youalways takeg yours off when mamma and the girls are by, you will not forget yourself or be mortfied when a guest or a stranger happens to bein the parlor. Habit is stronger than anything else and you will always find 'that the easiest way to make shure of doing right on all occasions is to got in the habit of doing right. Good man- ners cannot be put on at a moment's warning, In a Scotch country parish, nob long ago there lived a church offi- cer who had filled that office and that of gravedigger for the long space of fifty years. Suspicions had been long entertained that he was in the habit of helping himself out of the collection plate whenever an opportunity permitted. It was difficult of course to prove thisi-- Af last, however, the sum of one pound was abstracted from the mis- sionary box which stood in the vestry, and everything combined to point out this man as the culprit. The elders told the minister that something must be done. The min- ister said, " Leave it to me and I'll see what can be done." The fol- lowing Sunday, after' the forenoon service, the minister was taking off his gown and bands; and being alone in the vestry with thesuspect- ed man he thought the opportunity was to good to bo lost, so said he, « Andrew, have you heard of the money that is amissing from the box I" « O ay," said Andrew, "I way hearing something aboot it." «« Andrew" continued tho other, very gravely, "the matter lies be- tween me and you.
