They found Anastasio and the boy Eitting together by the fire: and Desprez, who had exchanged his toilet for a ready made rig out of poor mate¬ rials, v aved his band as he entered and sunk speechless on the nearest chair. Madame turned direct to Casimir. “What fs wrong?” she cried. “Well,” replied Casimir, “what have I told you ail along? It has come. It is a clean shave this time; so you may as well bear up and make the best of it. House down, too, eli? Bad luck, upon my soul.” “Arc we—are we—mined?” she gasped. The doctor stretched out his arms to her. “Ruined,” ho replied, “you are ruined by your sinister husband.” Casimir observed the consequent embrace through his eyeglass; then he turned to Joan- Marie. “You hear?” ho said. “They arc mined; no more pickings, no more house, no more fat cutlets. It strikes me, my friend, that you had best be packing; the present speculation is about worked out.” And he nodded to him meaningly. “Never!” cried Desprez, springing up. “Jean-Marie, if you prefer to leave me, now that I am poor, you can go; you shall receive your hundred francs, if so much remains to me. ,Bnt if. you will consent to.stay’J-r-thn doctor wept—“Casimir offers me a place—as clerk,” ho resumed. “Tho emoluments are slender, but they will be enough for three. It is too much already to have lost my for¬ tune ; must I lose my son Jean-Marie sobbed bitterly, but without a word. “I don’t like boys who cry," observed Casi¬ mir. “This one is always crying. Here! you clear out of this for a little; I have business with your master and mistress, and these domestic feelings may be settled after I am gone. March 1” and ho held the door open. Jean-Marie slunk out, like a detected thief. By 12 they were all at tho table but Jean- Marie. “Hey?” said Casimir. “Gone, you see. Took tho hint at once." “I do not, I confess,” said Desprez, “I do not seek to excuse his absence. It speaks of want of heart that disappoints me sorely.” “Want of manners,” corrected Casimir. “Heart, ho never had. Why, Desprez, for a cleVer fellow, you are the most gullible mortal in creation. Your ignorance of human na¬ ture and human business is beyond belief. You are swindled by heathen Turks, swindled by vagabond children, swindled right and left, up stairs and down stairs. I think it must be your imagination. I thank my stars I have none.” , “Pardon me,” replied Desprez, still hum¬ bly, but with a return of spirit at sight of a distinction to bo drawn; “pardon me, Casi¬ mir. You possess, even to an eminent de¬ gree, tho commercial imagination. It was tho lack of that in me—it appears it is my weak point—that has led to these repeated shocks. By the commercial imagination the financier forecasts the destiny of his invest¬ ments, marks the falling house”- “Egad,” interrupted Casimir; “our friend the stable boy appears to have his share of it.” Tho doctor was silenced; and tho meal was continued and finished principally to the tune of the brotlier-in-law’s not very consolatory conversation. He entirely ignored the two young English painters, turning a blind eye¬ glass to their salutations, and continuing his remarks as if ho were alone in tho bosom of his family: a_nd with cverv second word he i^TIIE ONLY MEDIUMS!

By tho time coffee wu the poor doctor w as as limp as a napkin. “Lc-t us go and see the ruins,” said Casimir. They strolled forth into the street. The of the house, like tho loss of a front tooth, quite transformed the villages. Through gap the eye commanded a great stretch open snowy country, and the place shrunk comparison. It was like a room with an door. The sentinel stood by the green looking very red and coki, but be had a word for the doctor and his wealthy Casimir looked at the mound of ruins, he tho quality of the tarpaulin. “H’m," said, “1 hope theecUararch has stood. If has, mj- good brother, I will give you a price for the wines.” “We shall start digging to-morrow,” said sentry. “There is no more fear of snow." "My friend," returned Casimir senten- “you had better wait till you get The doctor winced, and began dragging his offensive brother-in-law toward Tentnil- lou’s. In the houso there would lie fewer and these already in the secret of fall. “Halloo,” cried Casimir, “there goes the with his luggage; no, egad, he is taking it into the inn.” And sure enough, Jean-Mnrie was seen to cross the snowy street and enter Tentaillon’s, under a large hamper. The doctor stopped with a sudden, wild hope. “What can ho have?” he said “Let as go and see.” And lie hurried on. “His luggage, to be sure,” answered Casimir. “He is on the move—thauks to tho commercial imagination." “Ibave not seen that hamper for—forever so long,” remarked the doctor. “Nor will you see it much longer,” chuckled Casimir, “unless, indeed, we interfere. And, by tho way, I insist on an examination.” “You will not require,” said Desprez, pos¬ itively, with a sob; and, casting a moist, tri¬ umphant glance at Casimir, be began to run. “What the devil is up with him, I won¬ der?” Casimir reflected; and then, curiosity taking the upper hand, he followed the doc¬ tor's example and took to his heels. The hamper was so heavy and large, and Jean-Marie himself so little and so weary, that it had taken him a great-while to bundle it up stairs to the Desprez’ private room, and he had just set it down on the floor in front of Anastasie when the doctor arrived, and was closely followed by the man of busi¬ ness. Boy and hamper were both in a most sorry plight, for the one had passed four months underground in a certain cave on the way to Acheres, and tho other had run about five miles as hard as his logs would carry him, half that distance under a staggering weight. “Jean-Marie,” cried the doctor, in a voice that was only too seraphic to be called hys¬ terical, “is it?— It is!" he cried. “Oh, my son, my son!” And lie sat down upon the hamper and sobbed like a little child. “You will not go to Paris, now,” said Jean- Marie, sheepishly. “Casimir," said Desprez, raising his wet face, “do you sec that boy, that angel boy! He is the thief; lio took the treasure from a man unfit to bo intrusted with its use; he brings it back to me when I am sobered and humbled. These, Casimir, are tho Fruits of my Teaching, and this moment is /.lie Re¬ ward of my Life," “Tiens,” said Casimir. All Instructive Interpretation.
