ami that card, that ace of spades, once so
beneficent, today so accursed! and which
returned anew at the name—as if called—
at the name of his forgotten love!
But would Lucienno bo dead if he,
Bonis, her lover, had called her as it had
been arranged he should do? This was
the quo-.Lion the captain asked himself as
lie stood there, his eyes fixed upon the ace
nf spades that he had seized in his hand—
All at once a shot broke t he silence of
the night.
“To arms! To arms!” cried the voices
of the sentinels, followed by a rattling
vollev.
i i To arms!” repeated the captain; “to”
----the words died in his throat; lie had
not time even to draw his sword; a ball
had struck him in the heart; lie fell, the
fatal card riddled between his lingers!
lie had not called Lucienno d’Arcneil to
the rendezvous of love, but she. widowed
and dead, had called him!—Translated
from the French for The New York Mer¬
cury by E. C. Waggoner.

The water which drowns us, a fluent
stream, can bo walked upon as ice. The
bullet which, when fired from a musket,
carries death, will bo harmless if ground
to dust before being fired. The crystal¬
lized part of the oil of roses, so graceful in
>ls fragrance though — a readily solid at volatile—is ordinary temper¬
atures, a com¬
pound elements, substance, and containing exactly exactly the
same in the same
proportions, as the gas with which we
! iglit our st reel s. Tho tea which we daily
drink, with benefit and pleasure, produces
pulpitat kms, nervous tremblings, nud even
aralysis, if taken i:i excess; yet the
peculiar organic agent called tlu ino, in
which tea owes itsqualities, may lx* t ken
by itself (as theine, not us lea) without
any appreciable effect.
The water which will allay our burning

snow; so that it is stated by explorers of

entering tho mouth, it assuages thirst
like other water, when melted in the

To the gallows is an easy transition, as
it is a natural conclusion. In a secluded
part of the grounds at lcliigava tliero is
a fox, forbidding object, like n great black

sloping Biot of a long incline cut in the grass. A
walk of Mack boards lends into

himself inside upon tho drop. The rope

I.awyers’ Unprofessional Conduct.
