They all raised their cups an gravely repeated: "To your health." And after tuoy had drunk som boiling hot coffee and some excellen rum, without wasting any more tim at table they rose and each one se about his work. The day passe with incredible swiftness, and in th evening the cutter entered the port o Bantle, On the following morning the Board of Health having given permission, the crew of the little ves sel made ready to land. Agostino following Pierre, made him sit besid him in the forepart of the boat. I seemed to him is if Inc wished to play the part of host and make him wet come to his country. He pointedeou to him the various places of interes of the town; the Place St. Nicholas which overlooks the sea; the Boule yard de la Traverse, a rich and popu bus quarter, the convent of Sain Rock on the heights, the citadel, and (Inc ruins of the ancient donjons, de stroyed by the cannons and by fire during the wars agalust the Genoese Framing in this amphitheatre o houses extending from (Inc sea -shore half -way up the mountain, were gar dens, green and flourishing, where the orange -trees and mimosas shed around their exquisite perfumes• Above the town the brushwcod, the short and dry vegetation, which cov- ers the sides of all the mountains of Corsica, and constitutes what is call, ed le maquis—broom, heather, junip- ers, mastic, and small fir -trees, that, finding on the rock hardly sufficient earth for their roots to cling to, offer an asyiuni which is almost impene- trable to farae and to bandits. On the sumits of the mountain are fine groves of beech -trees, the 'wealth of the country, plundered by the peas- ants, and destroyed by the shepherds, who burn them to make pasture land, All this Agostino told his preserver while the boat sailed by the mole of the Dragon on its way to the quay. Arrived at the foot of the steps they disembarked, and Pierre, a little dizzy, found himself once more on terra firma. He still wore hin coat, his coarse woolen trousers and his coarse shoes. He had left behind his other clothing, ruined by the salt Water, and brought with him only his money and his watch. On the quay Inc looked at himself in the window of a tavern, and with the bandage covering his forehead, he fancied he had the air of a genuine brigand. He seized Agostino by the arm and stop- ped him. "Where are we going at such a rate?" Inc said. "To breakfast in the first place," said the young man, "and then to our village. We have a week's holidays while we are waiting for other goods." "Well, then, come breakfast with me. Afterward you will show me the way to an inn." "Won't you come with me to 'our village?" said Agostino, in a trem- bling voice. "I had promised myself to make my mother kiss you." • "I would go with you very willing- ly," said Pierre, laughing, "but y,ou have forgotten that I promised the captain to repaint his Saint Laurent for him. What is promised must he done." "You are right," said Agostino, gayly. "But how long will it take you to do the work?" "The whole of to -morrow morn- ing." "So that to -morrow evening you will be ready to accompany me?" "Yes, certainly." "Then I will wait for you. Mean- time I shall go and engage the carri- ole of Father Anton. In that waY you will make the journey more com- fortably." -Very well, it is settled then." They soon reached the inn ef Santa Maria, where Agostino was lield m *high favor on account of the excellent viands, smuggled from Greece and Hely, which he brought there every et ery month. Installed in a room on tho ground tioor, Pierre was able, for the first nine in three days, to examiite hie :Memnon and reflect upon his future course. On the one haui he eeperi- enced a profound disgust at the thought 01 returning to France. On the other Inc was loath to :rause annoy- ance to Agostino. "everything, then, conspired to keep him where Inc was, and then the chant), a Ms Wondereil country exercised its spell over him. Evelything around him allured him— the sceitery, savage and attractive at the same time, the curious customof the people. and, finally, the fect of- his being unknown, which allowed him to live at ease among the peasrmtry, so interesting a subject for study in this country, where the beggars have the haughty airs 01 grand seigneurs. All that Merinnee had written about it reeurred to his mind—the poetic fig- ura of the wild Colombe, the ferocious hatred of the Baricini; and it seemed as if time had gone back two centnr- les.

Unner his touch the colors glowed, the face assumed a lifelike expression, and the extended arm seemed to emu- - mane the waves. At ten, the worli being cempleted, regarded by them all with a new feeling of respect inspired by his skill, he breakfasted for the last time with his companions of a day. Toward midday he left the veesel, surcomparited by all the crew, Bard at - ter ehaking hands with those to who he owed more than life, he ' mounted with Agostino a sort of cur. ride, drawn by a shaggy horse, and starting off at a quick pace they soon left Bastin, behintl them. From the town hall of the village the raid winds through enclosures planted with vines, along olive groves and among little woods of eucalyptus and green eaks. The soil is sandy and the climate extremely mild. Streams, descending from the inottn- tails, spread themselves threugii tne earth, forming marshes covered with rose bushes, and broad green meadow- land over w hich fly flocks of ducks and Wild L p . The road winds for half of our way along the beach, passing through 'nine - (meet village. Agostino, urging his horse .to a gallop, explained to his companion the habits and cus- toms of the country, expressing him- self with an effusion and gaiety that contrasted strongly •with the gravity he had shown on board. He seemed like a school boy enjoying his vacae non. "You shall see how rich our country is," he said. "We are not lazy keepers of flocks. At Torrevecchio there is trade! My father sold his own wine, and our vineyard is of some value. My brother-in-law cultivates it at present and sells the produce.My mother and youngest sister live In a village, where they raise vegetebles for the market of the neighboring town, and I let them want far nothing. Ah, they will love you dearly when they know what you have done for mei" The painter Broiled as he thought of the grateful affection 01 these poor people. "I shall not be a restraint upon them for long," he thought. "I will soon get et way. After a day spent in the village a guide can con- duct me across the mountain, for I do not care ter remain by the um coast, In the low eountry. I want to soe the Corsican in his rude state, the maquie and the brigands. It there are sketches to be made, they must be taken in the neighborhod of Bocognano, the holy laud of the vendetta.

That is more than I need to live a couple of nnoutns on in this primitive country in (Inc midst of these people wo have no wants. And Mien I have no more money I shall have my profession. 1 shall paint portraits, for a hundred sous a sitting—that will take me back to my youtn." The carrioie, baring crossed the bridge of San nancrazio, roiled along tne precipitous road between rows cot century-oid tutestnuts. Tne sun was sinking below the horizon, reddening tne mountain with his last rates. Agos- tino turned into a• little path, mong which Inc drove, whistling gaily, like the blackbirds a his country. .At the end of a few huudred yards Inc stopped before the wall of an enclosed piece of land, and jumped to the ground. A large dog, whicn had appeared at the sound, barking witIi a ferocious air, rushed between the young man's legs, now barking joyfully. An old: woman and a little girl made their appearance in the orchard, and ran to him with open arms. Agostiuo em- braced them 'With effusion, and theb pushed them toward his preserver, telling them of his adventure, in (Inc Corsican patole, with incredible volu- tility. Pierre, received with open arms by these pereles overwhelmed with their gratitue. .awn into the whirlwind of their exteavagant joy, licked by the dog, embraced by the mother and the children, soon found himself installed in (Inc house, a very modest one, but exquisitely clean, seated at the family table, and experi- encing a feeling of tranquil satisfac- tion to which he had been a stranger for many months. Ile retirecnearly, thanking his hosts for their hospitality, rose late on the following morning, visited the sur- roundings of the house, made the acquaintance of the brother-in-law of Agostino, who was a great hunter, and his sister, who was a notable house- wife, played with the little elaeietta, who ever eince (Inc evening before had been watching him with her piercing black eyes, disclosing her white teeth he a smile, but showing rustic timidity whenever she approached him. Night came with surprising rapidity, without Pierre's having done anything more than live, Alone in his room, stretched on the fresh Corn Mattress, Inc smiled at himself. "Hero I ant leading the innocent life of a shepherd, he said, "and rc. eolved to become a new luau, morally, and mentally.

These humble...pea- santh showed for him a sincere affec- tion, such as Inc had not often met, with. As Inc was not more than half inclined to leave them Inc allowed himself to be persuaded to remain to paint the portrait of the little goat - keeper, and in these peaceful sur- roundings, in the midst of the luxuri- ance of nature, his recovered inspir- ation blossomed with a new grace and Power. He worked every day until four o'clock, and in the evening Inc joined (Inc family circle, which was came after dinner every day with his Nvife. Increased by the brother-in-law who The mayor of Torrevecchio, a vio- lent Bonapartist, having learned that a painter was staying in the village, had ventured, accompanied by the cure of the parish, to go and request Pierre to restore (Inc paintings on the walls of the church, which were (Inc work of an Italian master and which were interesting, dating from Genoese occupation of the country, Laurier had accepted the task and not content with retouching the defaced portions of (Inc mural paintings of the little church, had undertaken the decoration of the chapel of (Inc Virgin recently con- structed. Absorbed in his Work, amus- ing himself with hunting and fishing, without a moment to spare, Inc had returned so completely to his old self that he now never thought of the past. It would have made him .blush with shame if any eine had reminded him that one summer night, *when the breeze was laden with fragrance, and the soft murmur of the sea and the splendor of the heavens bore evilness to the harmony that reigned in the universe, a certain Pierre Laurier had contemplated killing himself, for the wicked eyes of a wenian who made his life miserable. Ile would have shrugged his shoulders, lighted his Pipe, and declared that there was only one thing in the world Worth striving for—to get the values in a figure in the open air. And Inc looked over the top of his palette through his half- closed eyes at little Marietta, who, seated on a chestnut -log in the garden, her feet resting on the green grass, her dog beside her, was posing for him, proud to Inc his model. Agostino came back from his trip to Leghorn, but went away Again a few days later. Pierre seemed to have accommodated himself to his new life and talked no more of leaving the country. He had sought at Beetle some necessary articles of furniture for the house, (Inc arrival of which aroused the liveliest curiosity among the vel - lagers. They could readily distinguish the difference of station betweeu (Inc painter and his hosts. The mayor and the cure had both declared that Pierre' was a superior man. His manners' showed him to Inc city -bred. Ills gen- erosity would seem to indicate that he was rich. Who was he? Pierre was evidently only a Christian name. Was he trying to conceallne identity? And if so, why? The mayor, piqued by curiosity, pro- ceeded quietly to investigato-the nea- ter. The prefect of Ajaccio .- bad al- ready received a message from the .sub - prefect of Basalt, to the effect that a mysterious visitor from the mainland lived in the liouse of a humble family of 'Torrevecchio, that Inc painted won- derful pictures on the walls of the enurch, and that although- everything. about Min indicated him to be perfect- ly honorable, it would yet be interest- ing to find out who Inc was. The au- thorities, however, were less cere- monious. They simply sent a gen- d'arme to ask the stranger for his passport, Fortunately the gen-d'arme took it into his head to stop' at .the mayor's office on his way in order no, tell the mayor tho object of nis.nfise sion. The latter seeing 'that -his III- trigues !were about to lead to an .utt.- justifiable intrusion of the police Oh the privacy of one for ivhom he •oa-. tertained partieular coneideration, took the gen-d'arine, whet was not be blame in the matter, to task about •if," and sent him back to town with a let- ter for the prefect, thus sparing Pierre,. who was quietly pursuing his Work, suspecting nothing, a visit from the police. So that after an, Merit's iden- tity remained undiscovened. Pierre had now been *about two modths at Torreecchio, hunting, fish- ing and painting, and he had finished, not only the portrait of Martetta and the painting in the church, but also two genre pictures, when one day, dur- ing his !absence On it visit to the silver mints of Caber, p. carriage coming from .13astia• deposIted at the inn of Torrevecchio two travellers, • accom- Panted be their servants, who called fen breakfast.

Odd Facts About Rivers. The Connecticut, the principal stream of New England, is 450 miles in length. The lrtish, in Siberia, is 2,200 miles in length, and drains 500,000 miles of territory. During a single flood of the Yang- tse-Kiang, in China, 600,000 persons were drowned. The American River is 2,170 miles long, but at various points in its course is very narrow for its length. The Potomac River is only 500 miles long, and in its lower course is rather an estuary than a stream. The Mississippi, at (Inc point where it throws out of Lake Itaska, is 10 feet wide and 18 inches deep. The Columbia River of Canada is 1,- 400 miles in length; the. stream of the same name in Oregon is 600. The River Dee, in Scotland, has had more poems written in its honor than any other stream on the British Isle. Austrialia has no rivers of any con- sequence. The•interior of this vast continent is almost destitute of water. ..•••••••••••kimant. I was cured of Bronchitis and Asth- ma, by MINARD'S LINIMENT. MRS. A. LIVINGSTONE.
