Ever Sitlee early morning the household had, been upsidedown. Madame rose at seven o'clock, and went to Market with the cook; from the market she hiirried to the grocer's, from the grocer's to the pastry-000k's and from the pastry- coo'a to the, confectioner's. The dinner must be perfect ; not an ordinary, but a re- fined; menu, a little elaborate even'and ar- tistk. As soma as she returned, her arms laden With flowers.; she prooeeded to adorn the aalon, which took on the air of a fete. With the aid of roses, mimosas, peonies and lilies; disposed in every corner, on the furni- tureotround the Delft vases and old Japan- ese bronzee, the apartment looked as if it had brokeirout into laughter. Th' breakfasted in haste, that the table might be turned over to the serveur, who set t� Work With stately dignity, in his white boat and ministerial whiskers. • Monsieur, after selecting the choicest winces from the oellar, is a little out of his element; and at a loss what to do. ,He wandets from room to room, fumbles his watohe looks out of the window, passes from his stiidy to the salon, goes into the dining - room; ;mete hie eye over the kitchen and finished by returning, for the twentieth time, to the bedchamber where tritby is sleeping, with.tightly closed fists, int -a -'nes of muslin and silk, beside the large Louie XV. bed, a curtain of which, unfastened, protect§ the cradle from the slightest draught of air. , With rosy cheeks, regular breathing, and- half-opeti mouth, the tiny creature ie peace- fully sleeping, little dreaming ' that she is the heroine of the day and the author of all this confusion. , Madetimiselle's gala toilette is ready. Carefully spread out over the furniture, it reflects the pea-green tint of the lounge and easy chairs. There is the cloak, beribboned with silk; there the ooplin pelisse 'lined with satin; beside them the long tulle veil; on the bereau are the fairy-like kid shoes, fraternizing with a miniature oep, more over -burdened with embroidery than the -tiara of A Doge. On the bed the baptismal robe is of, out, ehort-weisted, long an the skirt -a robe of point - d'Alencon lace, on the tissue -of which are intertwined elaborate eoate of arms, with old-fashioned, spring. like garlands of roses. The robe is a family heirloom, and if it be true that there is a soul in things, surely this one Might to partake of the family joy, and forget for to -day its respectable age, and the years which have yellowed its soft folds. Counting the mother's and the grandmother's, this will be the third bap-. Um at which it has assisted, and -it certain- ly will play an important part this time! Formerly -long, long ago -it served as a wedding veil to the great -grandmother - she whose Miniature in powder and farthin- gale is hung near the mirror. On the Whole, it is not astonishing that this venerable bit of lace is so -well pre- served ; it has seen nothing of life but ite miles ; sighs, complaints, sobs, never reach it to the perfumed box to which it is con- signed after each ceremony. The clock strikes four, startling and im- portant. 13aby was wakened. It is high time, the babtism being set for five o'clock, and the krandparents as well as the god- mother alteady arrived. Mademoiselle must have tomething to eat. Then the toil- ette begins -a toilette not accomplished without difficulty, because, everybody must have a hand in it, even Monsieur, who ventures hie advice but only succeeds in making baby ory While awkwardly trying to put on her idiom At last all are ready to net forth. Notwithstanding the lowered -blinds, the June sun glides in and animates everything with its cheerful glow. They talk aloud, they chattet, they laugh in the flower -per-• fumed salon, The light toilettes .of the ladies rustle coquettishly in the twilight, antlfgive an lidded brightness to their resift an countanoes. , • Baby maktie her entree on the nurse's arm. The little creature is very warm in her robes of state, her cloak and pollen overburd ripe che ceives the credence, and at the sight ef the happy faces watchirig her she commences to gurgle behind her veil. Madame, whose Parisian charm is en- • hanced by the knowledge that the new toilette becornes her to distraction, ,and ex-. cited with the, joy of living, and the pride of motherhood -Madame takes the arni, of the godfather; an old chum of her husband, and the best friend of the household. It is paid five o'clock; they will be late at church; they must hurry.

The hands of ,the gold watch given the night before and slipped under the » pillow. point to six o'olock. The Maiden bounds from the bed, and falls on her. knees.

" Good -morning, mother." "My dear child !" • Oh, how tender and true the kisses sound? What poetry, what tenderness, what elo- quence, what holiness they express ! "The dress Maine after you had retired last night. It is in the salon. I will fetch it. No one but th:ti mother Shall touch that toilette and the daughter submits, calm, recolleeled, almeet grave.

Without speaking, because his voice would halal trembled, he fords his daughter in a knot embrace. "Papa!" "Darling, my darling !" • The daughter ,whom he embraces is the beet of himself : the purest part of the past, the souvenir of a happy union, the embodi- ment of duty accomplished. She is the in- effaceable impression of his first paternal joys. And the images which crowd before his eyes are so sweet that they blot out the bitterness of gloomy days, of the freitlers battles, the baseness, and the treaoheriee of life.

Mademoiselle Mar- oelle !" • Gracious and tender, her heart overflow- ing with affection, the premiere communi- ante kisses her little world with the care - lees unoonstraint of childhood. The little chamber, with its white,lacquer- ed Louis XVI. furniture, its hangings subtly perfumed with violet, has taken on an Inde finable, chapel -like air. While they fasten her veil the young girl stands motionless, Bearching her heart, lost in thoughts that absorb, refine, transform her. Her coun- teneinoe, pale from the fatigues.of retreat, her straight nose, well-defined eyebrows,the long lashes which shade the dewy eyes, her rounded ohin, dreamy air, graceful slimness, delicate outlines, the hieratic folds of her robe -everything about her suggests the first angels of Era Angelico ; eager,eostatio; • the sacred perfumes in their golden censers. The girl puts on her gloves. The sound of hurrying feet is heard in the apartment; there are comings and goings, and creaking of doors •, 'drawers ere opened and closed hastily; busy feet patter over the parquet. At last every one is ready. In the -salon, which they cross in going out, are placed at random the gifts sent the night before; (and beside them lie the white bouquets wrapped in paper, to which are pinned their accompanying cards. The premiere communiante descends tho silent staircase in the calm of the early morning. With a flash as from a trumpet the sun strikes the brass rode, and illumines with a golden halo the child enveloped in white, whose veil appears to separate her from the actual world, and whose skirt as it brushes the -stein sounds like the rhythmic and harmonious tipping of a light wing. • Still the bells peal on, their voices bound- ing lightly into the radiant air, and flinging joyous strains of happiness into space : " Alleluia ! Alleluia !" But as the sounds die away they soften the exuberance of their joy, not to distract the child of ' yesterday, the maiden of to- morrow, the maiden who carries God in her heart. CHAPTER III. One more hand -.clasp -the last. The guests have departed. They are . alone. In the dining -room -the servants are clean- • ing off the buffet arranged f or the "break- fast," Outside, snow has begun to fall, and sends a obill through the apartment already filled with gloom and melancholy. Standing alone in the middle of the salon, the father and mother, for the first time in their lives, are embarrassed at being togeth- er. They avoid eaoh other's eyes; common- place words fall automatically from their lips • their thoughts are far away. "What wretched weather !" • "Frightful !" " Madame Lerolle was beautifully dressed was she not?" . "Her costume was very original; she has no much taste." "Maurice looks older." "Ile works too hard." Silence. Monsieur takes the tongs and pokes the fire ostentatiously humming Mendelssohn's "Wedding march." "1 am going to retire," says Madame." As soon as his wife leaves the salon, Mon- sieur stops humming, rises, drums on the window -pane, smells a flower returns to the chimney -place, examines a Chinese ornament for a long time without seeing it (a bronze whose smile challenged him in vain) ; then he brusquely opens the door, and starts in the direction of "Mademoiselle's room," as they called it yesterday. On entering it, he starts back, for there, in the. chamber he had thought to find empty, stands his wife. Seized with the same idea as himself, she had preceded him to this sanctuary from which their idol, so cherished,so adored,had departed. Departed, love in her heart, laughter on her lips • departed thoughtless ly, on the arm of another, an inconnu, stranger, it husband; departed without a backward glance, her eyes toward a radiant future, bright with rose-oolored illusions; departed in a nameless and incomprehensi- ble intoxication, her ears tingling with the mysterious and vibratory isymphony of youth; departed, to speed towards the land of sunshine and of dreams. The chamber remains as the young girl left it, in all the confusion of her hurried flight. It is strewn from right to bit with wedding garments, exchanged in haste for the traveling mantle and otter toque. One satin slipper is under the work -table, the other is under an easy chair; the wreath of orange blossoms lies on the bed -the bed no longer hers. The long Valenciennes vtil,too • hastily thrown aside, has slipped to the floor. The robe af brocaded velvet, with its solemn train, covers the dainty sofa, the eleeves dangling inert and helpless over the back of it, like the arms of a broken puppet. The white boquet lies dying near the gloves on the mantlepieoe, in the heavy air strong with the scent of tuberoses. The faces of the father and mother drop the masque of worldly gayety, assumed all day;• wearied •with forced smiles, their features relefx. At a glituce-a glance not to be evaded this time -they understand each other. Their hidden grief, their com- mon misery, are detected beyond recall. Wherefore dissimulate longer when °each has undoubtedly divined the other's secret? So those two, without a wiord, move towards each other with open arms. In one long embrace their hearts meet, are consoled, unite; blending with the poignant and sad thought of separation, the sharp delight of seTheacrifice. The dying embers crackle in the fireplace. Outside, the snow continues to fall, in large, feathery flakes, covering the earth as with an immenee bridal veil.

DESTROYER OF MAN. The true owner and landlord of many a tract of country in the parts I am revisiting in thought is the gold -coated and striped tyrant of the woods, the tiger. There are large ranges on the ghauts-one might al- most call them estates -which are owned, at least temporarily, by a pair of tigers, or, it may be, by an old male tiger singly, or by " Marcell° !"-" Oh, how beautiful dear a tigress which has been left alone to take me of herself and her cubs, and eo develops all the worst virtues of her fierce maternitY. It is one of these last that has come to my mind in oonnentIon with a sununer evening •in India, when along the lonely jungle road an Englishman with his attendants was ap- proaching a village. In such a country as I am describing the villages are few and far between, partly because of many difficulties ah to agriculture and markettopartly because of the resolute way in which the more COURAGEOUS WILD BEASTS dispute with man -hereabouts his pretentions to call himself lord of the creation. On the plains where the country is open and easily traversed tigers never stay long in one place, or are likely to pay with their hides if they do; but on the shoulders of the hills, sur- rounded by thickets which are the fringe of an interminable forest, the striped rajah of the forest is oftentimes master of the situa- tion, fled takes tribute from the ce.ttle, goats, and doge of the community till he can be trapped or poisoned, or until he goes for some personal reason elsewhere. It Is not so bad for the country people as long as he retains his natural dread of man, which is so instinctive that the Indian herd boy will often fearlessly save hie oxen by shouting at the attacking tiger, and even flinging his stick at him; nor do the slender Indian girls shrink from leading their goats to the stream or fetching home wood and grass be- cause a tiger has killed -a cow or kid just beyond the village. But at one time or another a tiger who. has been, like the rest of his kind, terribly afraid of man in any shape, lays that dread aside on 'a sudden and forever, and then BECOMES TRULY FORMIDABLE. It is perhaps in most caseft the result of an unintended experiment. The courage of a tiger, is the courage, not of pride, but of desperation, like that of a oat. He will get between the root' of trees or the cracks an the earth to escape, but if escape be out off he will attack an elephant with armed sports- men upon it, which is as if an infantry sol- dier should hurl himself against the mason- ry of e fortress. In Borne fatal moment the native agrioulturist, or the local postman with his jingling bells, has passed somnapot where a tiger lay in wait watching the dis• tent cattle grazing, or waiting for night time to visit some tigress who has amorously responded to his roar. The beast has. thought himself perceived, has feared to be out off from his usual retreat, or the victim has shouted in terror, making the tiger hy- sterical with fright and then in a paroxism of rage and fear, it has snarled and sprung forth and DEALT IN FRENZY • rather than design that terrible blow with. the forepaw which will stun a wild boar and: and dislocate the neokbone of a bull. Be-. fore hia roar of angry surprise has echoedi through the jungle the map, or woman, or: child lies a corpse under his claws, and in- stinct forces him to go on; and to crunch the. soft neck with his yellow fangs. Then the: • secret -is out ; the tiger has learned what a- . "poor forked thing" thie lord of the orea- tion is ; how feeble his nstural forces; how: useless for defense that eye that was so: dreaded; those hands that were so crafty ; those limbs that bore him so haughtily with: his head to the sky. Moreover, the tiger: has tasted Man and found him as savory to: devour ash° is easy to butcher. and from that time forth the brute neglects no further: opportunity, but becomes a confirmed "man-: eater." There appeared the other day in an Indien newspaper a letter from an English official: who had came across an inetance where a: young tigreas, in the manner alluded to,: had depopulated a district, killed dozens of - men and women, and taken actual posseseion of a forest road and tract. She began her. career in July by killing two women- near a' forest village, and by the and of the follow- ing December had slain at least thirty per- sons, becoming bolder and more cunning with each fresh mdrder. Her beat lay in: some foot hills and she ROAMED OVER AN AREA of twenty five miles long by three or four broad. The country was such that she could neither be tracked for any distance nor driven forth by beaters. She would not kill a tied Buffalo, nor would she go back to a corpse if once disturbed. She became at last so bold that she would in open daylight oarry off men and women when cutting the crops in the terrsced fields, stalking them from above and suddenly springing on them. The terror of her ferocity spread through the country. The villagers left their homes for safe regions, yet over in the forest the tigress learned to stalk the sound of an axe, anci'made many victim' before the woods were proved to be even more dangerous than the fields had been. The method adopted was so sudden as to prevent any possibility of escape; the blow dealt so deadly as to render even a cry for help impossible. The victim was dead and carried off before his companions knew what had » occured. Con- stant efforts were made for her destruction. Poison, spring guns and dead fells were in- effectually resorteeto, any number of buffa- loes were tied up at night, and many a time the FRESH TRAIL OF A KILL. was taken up inhopes of obtaining a shot at the tigreea, but with no remelt. At last a file of soldiers were requisitioned to fiee what force could do to remove this horrible animal, cunning haviug been found of no avail. The beast was !killed, and was found to be a young tigress, in perfect condition ; the pad of her left forefoot had at one time been deeply out from side to side, but had thoroughly healed, leaving. however, a deep scar, which proved her presence wherever she roamed. The same account mentions one instance in which two cowherds, living in a small grass but in a somewhat wild forest, were cooking their food in the evening, when the tigress suddenly sprang on one, and carried him off. His companion intimidated the animal with shouts and threats, and suc- ceeded .in making him leave his victim. Carrying his wounded companion into the hut, the trembling Koombi closed the entrance and ' WAITED FOR DAYLIGHT. - But this he never saw, because, after a time, the tigress, emboldened by the in- creasing darkness, returned, and forcing her way into the hut,,carried off the uninjured man, who was doubtless.doing all he could to prevent the.approach of the brute. The other, who was first seized, died of his wounds and sheer terror the next day, after relating the story to those Who had found him. The party of the sahib that Indian even- ing came across juet such a scene as is here: spoken of. As it came down the hillside by the widening path to the 'jungle village no sound whatever arose from its few and hum- ble habitations. Nobody came out to make salutation or to offer supplies; no cattle were perceived wandering about, no child- ren, no birds, except, indeed, many vultures upon the tree in the square and upon the. temple roof. The pots in the grain dealer's shop were empty and overturned, a piece of cloth just begun was left with broken threads upon the loom in .the next hut. On the other side of the way the chattels at a potter's were tumbled and broken, and a sheet of copper lay at the blacksmith's forge: half bent to make some vessel, but precipi- tately adandoned. Wherever one gazed - there were SIGNS OF A HASTY FLIGHT on the part of the inhiebitints, who did not seem to have left anybody to represent. them. Yes ! there was one silent and mel-: ancholy representative, and the sudden ap- pearance of her would have startled the party very much more than it did but for All Stock Raisers use - Dick'sUniversalMedicines 11,Ittl,Itt,!!! t-,COTTO What 411•-• to- 411110•-.

A dead infant, also mangled by a isavage bite, and with one of its arms nearly torn off, lay half conceal- ed under the Corp e, the appearance of the bodies showing that they had been only lately killed. N one could doubt what had killed them. Th sign manual upon their bodies was surel that of the royal beast who often in this way disputee the right of his human rival i India, and roars to scorn the illusion that fan is master of created th inhgea. TSahib's p ty was badly equipped for tiger shooting, and passed, not without anxiety and the losing up of the three or four servants an 000liee through the out- skirts of this evi ted village. At any mo- ment her ledysb p, the tigrees, Or his lord- ship, the tiger, ho had taken possession of the place, might emerge from a grain store or a cow pen, or even from some MILK BU H OR JOWARI PATCH to ask the trave lera what business they had upon the royal operty. The Englishman hastily put bull ts into both barrele of his shot gun, and w lked his horse as ' quickly as his men coul follow out of the ill-fated gaumt i At outskir e they were astonished to hear a voice hig above their head, which came, as they afterwards found, from a young Hindoo 1 w caste man sitting con- cealed in the ranches of a large mango tree, from whi h could be seen both en- trances of the vil lage. He. had made a rude platform in a fo k of the tree and watched on it with the 1 ng barrel of a matchlock protruding, and by hie side an earthen jar of water. The invited him to come down and to tell them the meaning of the extraor- dinary spectacle they bad witnessed. He descended and informed them that for months past his'village had been infested and persecuted by a tigress whieh, after killing cattle aol goats, had elain and part- ly eaten three o four children outside the hamlet, and ha taken,. during the past eight or nine da a, to entering the village at night and ear ying oft somebody or other sleeping, as th Hindooe do, outside their huts under the verandahs. The woman slain that morni g with her baby Wa.s the wife of the p e or matchlock man, and he had perched hi ell in the tree, hoping to avaeengeher cleat when .the Sahib's party pe ed. TII TIGER KILLED. It was too serous a case not to be report- ed in the proper traders, and an expedition of practieed tier shooters was equipped among -the office at the nearest station. The beast was tr cked and was killed after receiving eleven rullets, and then it turned out that she had half-grown cub which had lost a limb, and hus the maternal affection of the ferociou » parent had driven it to these desperate aye. Indeed, the epectacle of that village w s full of philosophical sug- gestions. The •ead human mother had bsen slain by r ason of the very same in- stinct which had ade her seek in vain to preserve her chil from the attack of the tigress, driven to its wits end to find food for its own hake 98 offspring. The tigress was, in her way, s tender a parent as the loving mother vele m she murdered,and then besides there Wa the whole village de- populated, to ma e one wonder ;what sort of a world it would ave been if, as might well have happened, tiers had evolved as mas- ters of the globe nstead of men.
