time widely known as the meat
Skillful nom ill his profcs<ion, and
it was not au unusual OCiurrouc0 for
him to be summoned across the
oh ulna] to England for the exercise
se of his professional skill. He had
served a long time in the army, Wassomewhat brusque in his manner,
and yet one could nut help loving
hint for Ilia native khudness of
Ilea rt.
Thevenet was somewhat surprised
by the receipt of this anonymous
note. The day, the hour and place
were given with the greatest exact-
ness, but as stated, the signature
was wanting. Some buffoou pro-
bably thinks to make a fool of mo,
thought he, and he did not go.
Three Clays later he received a
similar invitation, butiu more urgent
terms, and also cut raining tt ilotific.e-
tian that ou the following day, at
6 o'clock, a carriage would call at
his house to fetch him.
In truth, on the following morn-
ing, as the clock struck 9, au
elegant open carriage appeared be-
fore his door. Thevenet without
further hesitation, seated himself in
it. At the door of the carriage,
however, he fetid to the coachman
-'To whom are you going to take
me
'Things which I do not know do
.not concern me,' replied the coach-
man, which was equivalent to say
ing : 'What I don't know will not
be likely to get n.e into trouble.'
'You are a churl,' replied Theve-
net.
At length the carriage stopped in
front of the house before indicated.
"Upon whom am I to call ?" 'Who
lives here1' 'Who is ill hero?' in-
quired Theveuet of the coachman,
before getting out of the carriage,
The coachman, however, returned
'the same answer as before,
But what do you desire of me
Speak out without parley. Why
am t Ixought here?'
'You must amputate my right
leg.'
'With all my heart, and if you
desire, your head also. But if I am
not mistaken, your leg is quite
sound. You ran up the stairs be-
fore me as nimble as a ropo•dancer.
What is the mater with your leg?,
'Nothing ; I only wish to be rid
of it.'
'Sir, you are a fool.'
'That is uo affair of yours, Mons.
Thevenet.'
'[n what wary has your leg offend -
yob ?'
'In nu way ; but 1 ecu bound to
have it amputated.' '
'Sir, 1 du But know you. At
ieaat produce before me some wit•
piss who will testify to your sound-
ness of intellect.'
'Will you accede to my wish,
Mous. Theveuet?'
'Just as soon, air, as you give lee
sumo defensible ground for your
desire to be mutilated.'
'I cannot at the present moment
communicate to you the truth of the
matter. Perhaps I may do so after
the lapse of a year. But I am will-
ing to wager you, monsieur, that a
year hence you yourself • will atlirue
that the ground upon which rested
the dusile to be free of my leg was
the noblest,'
`I will nut wager, so long as you
do not give rue your name, your
place of residence, your family and
your occupation.'
'All that you shall kuuw in the
future, nut ;it prusuut. I pray poi,
however, to cuusitler cue its a Itlau

'Good ! Mons. Thevenet,' ux•
claimed the Briton, s,,izicsg tlte pis-
tol. 'I will not about you, yet will
I force you to amputate my leg.

out of coo rtosy or love pf reward, or

'Iloev so, Si'?'
1 will myself, here upon the
spot, before your eyes, shatter my
leg with te pistol shot,'
The Euglishutan sat down, seized
the pistol and held the muzzle close
against leis knee. Mona. Thevenet
wits abotgt to spring towards him to
wrest the pistol from his hand.
`Do not move,' said the English-
man, 'or I will fire. Only answer
me one question : Do you wish un-
necessarily to increase and prolong
my suffering?'
'Sir, you are a tool ! Have your
own way ! I will tike your leg
off.'
Everything was made ready for
the operation. Ile the first cut was
about to be made the Englishman
lighted his pipe and swore it should
not go out, He kept his word.
Presently the log lay on the floor,
The Englishman continued to
smoke. -
At the house door he was received
by n young man of about 28, who
conducted him up a flight of stairs
and into a large chamber. The
speech of the young man disclosed
the fact that lie was a Briton.
Thevenet addressed him in English
and received friendly replies.
'You have sent for me,' said the
surgeon.
'I am very thankful for the pains
you have taken to visit me,' replied
the Englishman. 'Will you please
to be seated. Here is chocolate,
coffee and who, in case you desire
to partake of some refreshments be-
fore the operation.'
'First show me to the patient, sir,
I ghost first make an examination to
determine if an amputation is
necessary.'
'I assure you, Mons. Thevenet, it
is necessary. Pray be seated. I
have perfect faith in your skill
Listen to me. Here is a purse con-
taining a hundred guineas. They

tion to marriage with me, wham
she passionately loved, as she her-
self cObfeseed. At leegth one of
her sisters disclosed to me the secret.
Miss Harley was marvelously
beautiful, but had the misfortune
to have been born with one leg, and
by reason of this imperfection she
hesitated to become my wife. She
feared I would esteem her less on
account of this imperfection. I at
once resolved to become like her.
Thanks to you my good Thevenet,
the thing was accomplished.
I returned to London with my
artificial leg. My first thought was
to visit Miss Harley. I had prev-
iously written to England that
through a fall from my horse I had
broken my leg, and that amputation
had become necessary. I had the
sympathy of all, and Emily swoon•
ed the first time she saw me. She
was for a long time inconsolable,
but she became my wife. The day
following our marriage I confided
to her my secret how great a sacri-
fice my desire to possess her coat me.
She loved me so much the more
tenderly.
Oh ! my good Thevenet, if I
possessed ten legs to lose, I would,
`without a sign of regret, give them
all%or Emily,
I shall be grateful to you so lung
as 1 live. Come to London and
visit us. Learn .to know my
glorious wife, and then say again

ileus. Thevenet showed this letter
to his friends, and rotated the in'
cident, and laughed most heartily as
often as he told the story. 'Never-
thelees, lie is a fool,' said Ire.
The following was Mous.
Tlievenet's reply :
'Sir, 1 thank you for your magui•
ticeut present, for so I must call it,
because I cannot term it coenpensaS
tion for the email set vice 1 rendered

mit me, very moderately, to stand
by my opinion. Indeed, for the
present moment you are now in the
paradise of the apritg•time of matri-
mony. But I atm right also, with
tills difference only, that my view
comes but slowly to be recognized
and accepted, like every truth
which one at first declines to re-
ceive.
H.
Some eighteen weeks after the
Englishman's departure, Thevenet
received a letter from England, the
contents of which was the follow-
ing
'You receive the inclosure as a
proof of my most profound grati
tude. It is a draft for two hundred
and fifty guineas on Mons. Pan-
schaud, banker, in Paris. You have
made me the happiest of earthly
mortals in depriving me of my
limb, which stood in the way of my
earthlyheppiness.
Worthy man, now you may know
the cause of my foolish whim, as
you then called it. You asserted,
on the occasion referred to, that
there could be no reasonable ground
for self imposed mutilation such as
mine. I offered then to lay you a
wager. Yuu acted wisely in not
accepting it.
After my second return from the
East Indies I made theacquaintance
of Emily Harley, the most perfect
of women. I adored her. Her
wealth, her family connections were
satisfactory to my' relatives. To me
her beauty and angelic disposition
were alone attractive. I mingled
in the throng of her admirers
Alas I my good Thevenet, I was
fortunate enough to become the
most unfortunate of my rivals. She
loved.me—beyond any and all men,
me. She did not conceal it; and
for that very reason she dismissed
me. In vain I supplicated for her
Mind. Her parents and friends 'afl
joined with me. In vain ! She re-
mained immovable.
For a long time I was unable to
Have a care, sir ; I fear that with•

you had your log taken off alcove the

You will think it would have

At the end of three years you will
be convinced that the loss of a
foot would have been sufficient. In
four years you will atlirtn that the
sacrifice of a great toe, and in five
years, the amputation of a little toe
would be too great. At the end of
six years, you will confess that the
cutting off the nail would have been
srtliciettt.
I say all this without any purpose
of detracting from the worth of
your estimable wife. Women can
preserve their beauty and virtues
more unalterable than men their
judgments (respecting them), In
my youth I could any day have
sacrificed my life for a beautiful
woman, but never a leg ; for that I
should never, my life long, have

I should to -day say 'Thevenet, thou
wast a fool.'

be,
Your most obedient servant,

me unfit for the service of my coun-
try. Here I sit and read the papers
and swear until all is black and
blue, because I can't be there.
Come, you must comfort ate.'
'Your wife will know better bow
to comfort you than I.'
'Ah ! nothing of that. Her
wooden leg prevents her from danc-
ing, therefore she devotes herself to
cards and scandal. There is no
getting along with her—otherwise
she is a worthy wife.'
"Then I was right, after all ?'
'Oh, entirely, my dear Thevenet !
But not a word on the subject. if
I had my leg again, I would't give
the paring of a nail from it. Be,
tween clirselyes, I was a feol. But
keep that truth to yourself.
III -
in the year 1793, duririg the
Reign of Terror, Mons. Thevenet,
whom a young surgeon had cautted
to be suspected of being in sympathy
with the aristocracy, fled to London
to save his head from the knife of
the all•leveling guillotine. Either
from loneliness or a desire to seek
out acquaintances Thevenet made
inquiries for Sir Charles Temple
His residenoe was pointed out to
him, He called and was admitted.
In an easy chair, by the fireside,
with a foaming pot of porter, sur-
rounded by newspapers, sat a fat
gentleman. So unwieldy was he
that he could with difficulty rise.
'Ah Mons. Thevenet' cried the
fat gentleman—who was none other
than Sir 'Temple—'Pardon me if I
do not rise ; but thia accursed
wooden leg hinders me in all I
would do. Friend, you have pro-
bably come to ascertain whether I
have yet come to be of your mind or
not.'
'I come as a fugitive to seek your
protection.'
'Thep you Must. take ..up. your

WHAT ENGLISH MONEY IS.
Equitable Record :—Among cer-
tain classes of persons in London
the. following terms are. perfectly
understood and commonly used :
A joey is equal to 4 pence,
A tanner is equal to 6'• pence.
A bob is equal to 1 shilling,
A bull is equal to 5 shillings.
Half a hull is equal to 2 shillings
and 6 pence,
A quid is equal to £1.
A pony is equal to £25.
A monkey is equal to £500.
A kite means an accommodation
bill. Copper or bronze coins are
familiarly known as browns, while
money generally is designated tin,
dust, or blunt.
The word ''kite," as a financial
term, originated in Ireland, where,
with characteristic carelessness and
good nature, the use';of accommoda-
tion paper was very frequent and
the transaction was generally under-
stood as "flying a kite." Apropos
of this a good story is told of a cer-
tain English judge presiding in a
case in an Irish court where re•
covery was sought of an endorser
of one of these accommodation
notes. The word kite, frequently
used by counsel, was new to his
lordship, and an explanation was
asked, whereupon one of the counsel
informed the learned judge that
while in his country the wind rais-
ed the kite, it very frequently hap-
pened that in Ireland a kite was
used to raise the wind.

TWO DEBTS.

Weakly.
When Ashbel Dean died, and his
earthly debits and credits were look-
ed into, it was discovered that the
credit page was nearly as spotless as
the sheet that had covered Ashbel'a
still form, while mortgages for the
full value of the far were recorded
on the otber side. Ashbel had been
considered forehanded. His neigh-
bors said he "speculated \Vest,"
and were astonished when his death
revealed the fact that he had sacri-
ficed all in an endeavor to save
some of his financial reputation.
None were more surprised than
his own family. This included the
widow, and Amanda and Israel,
twius, twenty years old. They were
crushed. They shrank from it as
from the presence of death—the first
one—in the family. For many days
they dare not speak of it, but it was
always in their thoughts. At lust
the widow roused her energies, and
auluntuued her children.
'We can save the farm,' she said,
"Maude, you can keep the district
school ; Israel and 1 will carry
on the farm, We roust all stand to-
gether.'
For twenty years they wore poss-
essed of one thought, urged by that
one Motive—to pay the debt.
They' stouts together twenty years,
and at the end of that time they
owed no mail anything.
The mother looked scarcely a day
older. The work of directing had
kept her Itcuities fresh and vigor-
ous. But sun anti daughter had
passed from anticipative youth into
dulled middle age. The debt, un
scrupulous and avaricious, had left
them no enjoyment, It had robbed
them of life's most desirable part.
When Amanda' was twenty she
was called pretty. Gatherings had
been incomplete without her. After
that she never attended another,
The attentions of young men, which
came unsolicited, were refused.
Now she had become thin and sal-
low. She knew she could hope for
no return of love's pleasures, If a
thought of marriage crowded itself
upon her, she shook it off as unwel-
come. She could give up her school
now, and devote her time to home,
to her mother and brother.
And Israel was free. He took a
long breath and stood up straight,
easing his galled shoulders of the
burden they had just cast off. Life
looked pleasant suddenly. He
would make some needed improve-
ments on the place. The house
should have a new coat of paint.
He stood in the sunshine, and, look
ed up through. the June foliage of
the maples, • thought the seed -pods
looked like the legs of so many elfin
painters dangling there painting the
sky. Then he laughed at himself,
and said he must be getting young
and frisky.
With the self devo'ion of this
young Mrs. Grimwood the whole
civilized world is ringing. She
was the wife of the British resident
at Manipur, in the north of Ilindo-
sten. Her husband, F. St, Clair
Grimwood, was treacherously killed
and there was e. general uprising.
When the disaster came Mre. Grim-
wood, although badly wounded in
the arm, displayed heroic qualities.
While the bullets were falling
around she tended the wounded in
the cellars of the residence and
found them food. Then came the
horrors of the reirett. She says :
"We had to leave the residency in
a terrible hurry when the firing
began. My shoes and stockings,
which were very thin, wore in rags
long before we got to British torri•
tory, and I had to walk barefoot.
My clothes got soiled and torn and
I had to throw away everything I
could do without. For the first
day and a half we had nothing at
all to eat. Can you imagine what
it was to be the only woman with a
number of—soldiers under such
circumstances, where privacy of any
kind is •an i'nrpassibili'ty+t • That hilly
were one and all more thoughtful
than almost a woman could be."
In the flight Mrs. Grimwood was
ten days without taking off her
And this was the bride's home
coining.
Yet the married two lived n hgp-
py life copilot'. Israel felt keenly
the mental misery his wife must en•
dune, and strove to alleviate it by
every kindly attention in his power,
and she understood his motive, and
resolutely hid all traces of pain.
Life fur each was as the other made
There was no communication be-
tween the two parts of -the house,
and uo messages passed, no visite
were exchanged.
Thus fur two years, when a baby

said t.0 latae!, `Take, the baby, and

and taking the child in his erins,
went and knocked at the door.
'\\'ho is it?' said his nrother's
voice,
'Your sou tend g;r tndaon,' lie re-
plied,
There was a slight noise and a
pause within. Then Amanda said,
'We are too busy to see you.'
He returned, and laid the baby by
his wife. She did not need to
question hint by word or eye.
Two more years went by. Oue
morning Israel called his wile to
come down into the garden. Ho

her,

Then toddle, toddle away—the
little feet knew the path dist was

thorough the unused passageway to
the door at the other end. He peek-
ed and shuffled babily agaiust it,
'What's th.tt queer noise at the
door, 'Mande?'
'Sounds like a dog,' said 'Man-
de.
But when the door opened, in
tottered a baby, triumphant, happy,
eager. Every Nue of his baby face,
every curl, had been graven iu the
widow's heart for fully years, and it
suddenly up(ned to show hon the
likeness.

And ill a tuolueut she teas on the

Blighted Amanda leaned on her
broom bewildered, looking at this
strange happening. And Israel and
Harriet, hastening after the child,
stood in the doorway witnessing the
first step in a reconciliation.
'Coate to matinee, Israel,' said
I{arriet to the child, lie looked at
her, laughing, over his grandmoth-
er's shoulder.
`Tum to mamma,' he repeated,
taking a step and pulling at her fin. -
ger.
The widow hesitated but a mom-
ent between mother's love and hard,
selfish pride. 'I will,' she said firm-
ly. 'And, 'Mande; put down your
broom and come too.'
Then, led by the little truant,
she came toward Israel and Har-
riet.
'My children I' she cried. -
When he war twenty he had
thought of getting married, now, at
forty, he thought of it again. When
he stopped his visits to Harriet
Downer, she understood why. She
had had no "company" he told him-
self since then, and his heart gave a
great bound at the thought. Why
should he not ?
One day ha came to his mother
and sister, and said, bluntly, 'I am
going to be married to Harriet
Downer.'
There was silence for a long mom-
ent , then his mother said coldly,
'We know it.'
By the tone and attitude, Israel
understood that his mother and sis-
ter would not welcome the woman
he meant to marry. He understood
that they thought the tie of constant
effort of the past twenty years as
.binding as wedlock, and did not
wish it broken.
But once after that Israel spoke
of his marriage : 'I alit to marry
Harriet to -morrow, Shall you be
there?'
And his mother answered, 'No.'
But Israel would 'keep his vow
to Harriet. The twenty years'
struggle had cultivated in him the
dogged resolution inherited from his
mother.
He married Harriet, and after a
week brought her home. No one
appeared to greet them.
'Mother,' he called, as he went
through the house. In two re-
mote rooms he found his mother and
sister.
'Harriet ie out there,' said he.
'And we aro here ; we shall stay
here,' said hie mother.
Israel looked about, dazed. He

ard for a husband, or a friend whole
unfortunately dissipated, I say em•
phatically gave rue notice in person of
such case or cases in which you are
interested and such shall be exclud-
ed from my place. Let mothers fa—
thers, sisters and brothers do like,
wise and their request will be regar-
ded. I pay a heavy tax for the pur-
pose of selling liquors and I want it
distinctly understood that I have
no desire to sell to. drunkards or
minors or to the poor or destitute.
I much prefer that they save their
money and put it where it will do
the most good to their families.
There are gentlemen of honor and
'men of money who can afford it,
and it is with these I desire to
trade. •- b..... -
