" Never mind what yoa are, or will be, o; may be," I Mid ; " he what I want yoa t< be ; and 1 oaa say this much, no man wil have ever had a chance of teeing bis frienc married to to lovely a girl." " I m v< r kaew French girlt wore lovely,' provokisgly remarked Bob." " Be my best man, and yon will be able to jaage for yourself," I Mid. " Bo yea give op China," continued Bob while docketing some silly despatch, anc preparing it for thos Office pigeon 'li, which contain more wisdom anc trash combined than any other officia department in the ooontry.

" Well," laid Bob, somewhat lentent- iously, " a hitch It a hiioh ia England, whatever it may be in France." I was irri'ated and annoyed that he should not have jumped al ths prospect ol beinx my belt man, thinking all the while of ibe enormous favor I was conferring on my friend in asking him to stand at my side when the girl I loved pat her hand into mine, and be would have a right to look upon himself as having contributed to oar joy, oar happiness, our onion. Bob either did not see it in thii light, or was slow to perceive any particular advan- tage in acceding to my wishes. He there- fore lit a cigarette, and, having dons to, turned the conversation by asking me how long I would remain in town. "Let us do a theatre together,'' be Mid. an i dins at ths Ht. JamM' Club, where just at present there is a vsry decent cook." " My dear Bob," I laid, " I want no dinner, I will nol go to tbe play, and I re- juir an answer to my question." " Bat there is a hitch," he laid , " time enooxh when that it arranged to give yoa an aniwer. By-the-woi, what it tht nature of ths hitch T " " I cannot tell yoa." Ssy yon will not tell." I 1 had rather not." ' Does the lady care for some one else T " No." ' Or tome one else care for her ? " ' Everybody mutt care for her who Inows ber." Tbit te*med to me tbe most dexterous manner of avoiding the question. 1 Is it aboat settlements f " 1 N*." "Then I givs II up." laid Bob; "and now : am off to Hyde Park for a whiff of air. This plaoe is stuffy to a degree, and I shall die if I remain here another minute." ' Bob," I taid, " be serioai , promise me what I atk. II will givt me a little com- orl, and I need II." Tbe kind-hearted Bob noted tbe earnest one of my request, and while putting on ii hat rather snappishly replied, "Of oorss I will if you wish it"; and asking me whether I wss not going bis way, with- n waiting for a reply walked out." I followed him and having gone to- ether as far a* Pall Mall ws parted. I felt ai if I had done wonder* towards lie advanoement of my marriage with .*ne. I had secured myself against pro motion, and thtref or" displacement ; and had a belt man ready to give me away n girl who ooald not be mine jail yet, Mcaase of a terrible hitoh, as Bob called it, amely, because she lierself wai being given way sy her father to another man. The d-a, horrible as it wai, tilled me with no onoern whatever. I had such faith in >iaii's love and loyalty, such implicit con- denae ia the strength of our mutual nJorstandsng, that my refusing promo- ion, to at not to be away from where ibe v.l appeared to me only natural ; while, f there wa* a little aelf-iacrifloe in ii, I wai th* b*tt*r pUasud for being permitted o lay il at shrine of my divinity. On the ther hand, I derived immense consolation rom Bob'i acceptance ; and it seemed to me ai il it ware a good omen that I should ave secured so important an element in he marriage ceremony on my fint day way from I'aris which held all I oarsd for n life. Nothing of any oonsrqusnoe occurred for ome day* ; bat when, at Ibe end of the week, I was beginning to wonder whv iadame de Chantali* had not written, I ound three letters at the club, all in differ- nt hand-writings, easily rcooxnUtble, o wever, and all three bearing ths I'aris iost mark. The first I opened wa* tbe one I looked o to give m* most pleaiare. It was from lademoiselle Oaroux "lhat govarneM' io*t," which Dian* had once told ms i*ht occasionally be used. "MoRsiiiB," wrote the faithful noverneis, " I havs hills to say, for mademoiselle ii iot aware that I am writing ; bat knowing er feelings and jours, I cannot bat con- ratnlale yoa on having secured so plucky, itaanoh, and so true an affection. " Nothing in her manner towards her larenli betrayi the least durenpeot, the lightest wish even lo disobey their com- mands. Toward* M. da Maapert she is as eserved as it is passible to be wilboat rounding Ut cont*uiteei , and it mast be llowed that hi* own manner toward! her 1 perfect, Hs attempts no more than marked politeness, and even the cold reoep- lon of bis attentions never indaoei a re- roach. What annoyed DUne more than nything at first li the fact that whila he nost " how diitaitcful to her is ths Doartship he ha* permission to pay her, he never once ha* asked whether sbe indorsM T parent*' content to bis beinf her ixeee. and that thii gave her no opporl- aity of appealing to hi* hoi or not to imraus aa engagement so palpably distaste ful to her , bat the seemt now to hope that be will continue at he Is doing, as toe does not want to owe anything tohis|.enenwity, having, ai the tell* me with her sweet laogh, ' a little plan of mine own.' " Mon Dleu I now I wish msttiri were otherwise than they sr,. I Bat that will oome right, I am convinced. " I mail lay a word about yoar oonver- Milan with th* marquis the day yoa left Paris.

" Diane never answers, and her silence serves the purpose of allowing sad oonver Mtions to drop ; bat after one of these dit iressing moments Diane comes to m] room for consolation, and then, I can assure yoa, we disaasi all yoar faults ant merit* de cctar joie,' and we generally eni by agreeing that your mutual love mu*t be consecrated at last by yoar mutual suflerm and crowned by your mutual reward. Dion* ha* authorized me to write to you occasionally on my own behalf, if I otre to ; but (he has told ms never to send >or a message from herself. He knows all 1 can poitibly My to him,' the says, 'and oar next meMsge mail be to oae another in tbu presence of witnesses.

The third w** an anonymous production It contained only a verse of Cresset " Bt roe* ell* a veea o* qa* vlvsnt Iss roses L'espao* d'un matin." Taken altogether tbe letter* bad pro daoed an uncomfortable and depresin( leeling. I began lo fear that Ihe eilencx hioh the marquis had enjoined on m* and which for Diane's sake I wo* so tnxious to preserve, was aboat to be jroken, and this distressed m*. Then I wondered bow this ooald be. Tbe Chantalise* knew nothing exoepl the sroad foot that we loved, and were nol allowed to love in peace ; bat even il Dian* had told them more than I had iheir family ties woald havs laffiaiently 'mured their discretion. Ths Count ds Maapert had no doubt Men told all by both Diane and her father, a* tbsse two high-minded nature* would iot have born* for a moment the idea ol being disloyal to a friend or foe , bnt surely ths count woald not, nor ooald im trove his position by showing op ths girl is wished to marry. Again tbe argument was good, and even stronger when applied to Diane'* mother. How, then, could tbil matter of the rote* lave been talked about i 1 " I have it I " I exclaimed, all at onoe.

I left for Paris that svening, having re- lied to both letter*, and born* with me be anonymous quotation. I got to Paris on Sunday morning th* econd Sunday sinoe Dion* had been given M. de Ma a pert by ber parent*, and had iven her heart to me. Though resolved to be trae to my roinies to Ihe marquis, ysl 1 could 01 resist going to the ohuroh I knew iiane usually frequented, on the chance of atoning a glimpM of hw ; bat instead of er dear graceful lit Us person I saw her mother kneeling nee>r th* high altar, with loosienr de Maapert al her side, and 1 eard Ihe banns between Dion* d* Bert* ille proclaimed from the palpit for the second time." They have lost no time, I thoagbt, and ns more Banday must bring mailers lo a risit ; bat my heart lank within mt, and ran oat of tbe ohuroh. Onoe in the street, il struck me that it 'as curious Diana should not accompany icr mother to the parish church; bnt a moment'! reflection mad* ma understand hat in these day* of trial tbe poor girl onlil naturally avoid, if possible, a ohuroh rom the palpit of which word* were iven oat to th* congregation that por- tended so much lo herself and me.

I found him at the dab ; an a* he wa* not going to the Obantilly races we determined lo have a walk together. After hi* oiuol bantering remark! hex been administered, he caid that on tta Saturday after I left Diane'i father hai teen him, and teemed apparently in grea dudgeon about tome rose* which hi daughter had sent me. " What about that 7 " bad laid Raymond "A great deal, 1 ' had replied the mar quit " Will," had aniwered Raymond, yon cannot allow your daughter to fulfil a promise publicly made to a man >oa di not refuse to meet at dinner at my house yoa cannot tipecl her to look at her promise ba* lightly as yon do. Ths girl has her father's love of truth and hi* notion* o the obligations of politeneu ; and I won der at the father being so blind s* lo hi. own merit* rt fleeted in his daughter." "Capital I " I Mid ; " what did the oli marquis reply T " " H* replied that th* present Imp ri regime had upset every notion of propriety decorum, and rikbl in Franco; that th< old nobility of France wai not a jot belie than Imperialists 0*7, rather wane, fo they were imitator* oaly, whereas the others were originator* of evil manner and notion* ; that all teemed topsyturvy lhat apparently parents could no longer judge what was best for their children, ba lhat children were to adopt a ia mode Anglaut, because, forsooth, it happened to pleas* them thai ycang man went aboa making lev* to young ladies, turning then silly beadt, even before Ihe age at which tbe idea of marriage oould take definite shape." ' That i* somewhat a cool statement," aid, '-considering that before the >onog lady in question had even known th roaog man alluded to, ths falhtr had iroaohed '.o her the marriage question." So I thoaght," Mid Raymond ; " bat i amused ms to let th* old gentlsman have >i* say." ' Well, what else did he My 7 " H* Mid this : that D* Manpsrt was an old college friend, a country neighbor, anc man of irreproachable conduct ; that hi lad known him more or It as intimately al li* life, that be had watched bis social ad vanoement with fraternal pride, and that tiven the world lo chcose from, bs could lad no one for whom h* entertained ninoh regard, so real an esteem, and to great a consideration ; that andsr these oironmstancM he had broached to him the abjeot of a closer alliance between his louse and the count's ; that M. de Maupert lad at tirst objected that he WM too old for so y^nng a person , but on his being alto- {ether pooh-poohed, he bad, like yoa, been truck with tbe wonderful beauty ol (ademoiaell* Diane, and being struck, bad Iruok his bargain with Dian*'* father." I wa* much interfiled in these detail*, or it clearly showed that M. ds Maapsrt t least WM not the principal culprit in his affair ; and that, should matters come a crisis, the result of which would be niuful to him, a* I now fell absolutely certain It woald prove, both Dian* and myself woald find an unexpected ally in he father, whom we both had treated with so much confidence, and whose tardy remorse at being th* originator of our rouble* woald soften into a ready instra men for restoring peace. Oo on," I said to Riymond , " all this J very interesting. 1 " Of ooans it is," h* answered ; "|but I wa* not going lo write all this, M you may magine. I never wast* word* on paper, or sentiments either, for th* matter of lhat." Do go on," I said, impatiently. ' There is not much more to add," he re- died. " What took plaoe aftsrwardi i* letter known to yourself than to any one l*e ; bal the idea that you have blabbed beul the rosee has powerfully moved th* l<i gentleman ; and though his indigna ion i* softening a lillle, yet it was so great bat he hurried mailers a* soon as yoa wsrs gon*, and caused th* banns between ii* daughter and hi* friend to be published 1 onoe." "Have yoa Men Diane 7 and doe* ibe hiuk me capable of boasting publicly of isr kind thought of myself 7 " " Do not pat on that tragic air," h* Mid. Lover* are perfectly Insufferable," added iiymmui. " The most intelligent men wcome absolats fools; either tbtir voice nd manner beoaa.. tragical, or their mirth, in it* exaggeration, steps into the gl >ns of comedy. "No, monsieur 1'ami," imitating my oioe, Diane did nol think yoa capable of Masting of her kind Ihoaght of yoa. Bhe iever thought of yoa al all. She had no onht that yon were a gentleman, and would act a* one ; bnt sh* wai annoyed at r attention* to yoa becoming th* object t public remsrk. How do yoa explain the ironmstanoe ? " " Easily."

Daring the late strike on the New York Central Railroad, the militia were ordered to be in readiness in oase of a riot, bat they were net called oat. In an interview, Oov.

The Importance of accent. 11 To be a laooMifal lawyer one mot* know how to manipulate the English lon- Kooge, ' taid a lawyer. " There is no other language that can be twilled around to mean so many things. The use of words is various, the accent of the speaker it) significant. If a lawyer woald be ii tluen- tial before a jury he mast be able to rnastnr all the intricacies of language. I don't mean that be matt be able to me all tbe wordi with profound meaning ; he must be able to take advantage of all the ins ' and oatt ' of tbe common language the lon- gntge we hear on the street and in business every day. ' I sometimes nse an illustration before a jury to show how many constructions may be pat upon a single sentence of oar language. The illustration I ase is a sim- ple one. It is thii : " Are yoa (oing to town to-morrow ? "Are you going to town to-morrow T " Are yoa going to town to-morrow ? " Are yoa going to tow* to-morrow ? " Are yoa going to town to-morrow t " There, yoa see, are six words in a sen- tence arranged alike yet susceptible of five distinct shade! of meaning. In this il is simply a matter of accent. Tbe fact is, our language can be mode to mean almost anything, and the man who hs the best command of it, whether he be an orator or not, has the advantage before a jary any time."
