The two fond mothers, who had been schoolmates and stanch friends, on being blessed one with a son the oth er with a daughter, seemed to think that their cup of happiness would be full when theliy children became ot age to be united In marriage. Aa the children, Pierre and Alice, grew, they gave fair promise of fulfilling their mothers’ wish. Before their lips had framed their first words their arms had been stretched toward each other. As time went by they would say to ■Pierre: “Be careful of your little fian cee!” And he took the role seriously, looking with pride on the growing beauty of the little girl. “Mother, don’t you think Alice is prettier than any other little girl?” Pierre sometimes asked. “Yes, yes, dear; love her fondly and be proud of her.” Pierre was also a pretty child, with an air of distinction. Straightforward, sensible, kind hearted, he had always evinced a strong aversion for lying or deception. “How clever Pierre is, mother.” “Yes, my child; and how much you should love him.” And the mothers when together would repeat to each other these words of their children. There came a time when the two children’s heads were on a level with each other. “Hurry up, Pierre,” they said to him, "or your little wife will beat you grow ing.” “So long aB they are Of fame height,” said the mothers, cajtiwllstgly, “it does nokmatter; but she'Mnst tiot be the taller^of the two.” ^ They tried' gymnasium, riding, fenc ing; nothing availed. Pferre’i stature remained stationary, while Alice devel oped every day. This fact only amused Alice. "I'shall be the taller,” she would laughingly say, “and my husband will have to obey me, for if it came to any thing serious, I certainly am the strong er." “Yes, I am sure you would prove stronger than I,” poor Pierre would answer in the same tone, though his laugh was forced. The fond mothers still planned for the projected union of their children, interspersing their conversation with Instances of short husbands and tall wives, who not only appeared well enough together, but seemed satisfied with each other. But poor Pierre now knew that his stunted growth was a serious obstacle to the consummation ot his happiness. His sensitive nature recoiled from taking a step which would expose him for life to the ridicule of outsiders and the pity of those dear to him. He began by shutting himself up in his study, appearing only at meals. The family saw him less and less, until by degrees he stayed away altogether. He would spend his days in Paris seeking knowledge in Its libraries and would return to Versailles after every one in the house had retired! “Pierre loves me no more,” thought Alice, who did not understand that be loved her too much. THROWN FROM HER HORSE. She grew serious and then sad, with out her companion. Her parents urged her to ride and her father gave her a beautiful horse. From that time she never missed a day taking long rides through the coun try. Her mother, who relied on Alice’s strength and fearlessness,never allowed herself any uneasiness on her ac count. “She is forgetting him,” she thought. And Indeed, Alice seemed to think no more of Pierre, and onee or twice,when her mother had spoken of marriage to her, she had replied: “Certainly. I am ready. Any one would please me, provided he is tall. Is he a giant? If so, the thing is done.” - Pierre ouen wrote to ms raniily, but he never mentioned Alice in hts letters, and the young girl felt much hurt at his silence.. , sne naa started very early that morn ing, but was expected to return for breakfast. The hour had gone by, though, and Alice had not yet returned. Her parents grew Uneasy and sent in every direction, but no one had noticed which way she went. Toward noon a wagon drew up in front of the house, the grief stricken mother rushed out to meet a peasant, who explained that an hour before he had seen the daring rider thrown from her horse. Her insensible form was now lying on a mattress inside the wagon. An anxious period followed. Alice was three months in bed, and long be fore she left it they knew she never again would be able to resume her for mer life. The poor child was lame, and instead of the wild, active life which had been hers, she saw herself forced to drag out a weary existence. A slow walk through the garden and then the long rest in the reclining chair were now her only modes of distrac tion. Pierre had been advised of the sad accident to his foriner playmate, and while he dreaded a meeting, he knew he would be expected to come at such a time. Alice from her favorite nook in the | garden heard some unusual commotion through the house; her heart beat; she felt It mast be Pierre’s arrival that caused such excitement. She would have flown but that she realized her helplessness. Another instant and she saw him appear in the doorway. Now he comes down the steps and advances toward Alice. She rises and he looks fondly on the pale face and bent form so unlike that of the Alice in former days. Poor children, they are on a level now. Pierre takes in his hands the head he loves so much and kisses her forehead, she stretches out her arms and as he clasps her in a loving em brace whispers: “You see—there iq a God for lovers, we are matched now—my dearest—my wife.” JAILS IN OLDER PARIS. The jails of the capital of France had an evil reputation under the mon archy and, though the revolution be gan with the destruction of the bastile, the most famous or infamous—of them —the reign of terror addejl to the dread in which they were held ,by all who were unfortunate enough to come near them as mere spectators. Tighe Hop kins has.,just brought together a series of anecdotes relating to them and pub lished it under the title of “The Dun geons of Old Paris." None of these prisons has so evil a memory as the Conciergerie. It was not only the most ancient and formid able of them all, but such deeds took place within its walls that its very name is a reproach to the nation which established it. During the revolution it was named “the ante chamber to the guillotine," for more than 2,000 souls passed under its frowning gates to their death.. Of these the' greatest in rank was the queen, Marie Antoinette, who slept here before her execution. Soon after she had mounted the scaffold the twenty-two Girondins condemned to death within a day were brought into its gates for their last lodging on earth. Thence, too, passed the dukes of Or leans and of Chazun and many others of the best blood of France. Gen. Beau harnais, whose widow was to become Napoleon's only love, was here. So was Lavoisier, the great chemist, of whom Lagrange Bald, “It took but a minute to cut that heatroff. It will be a cen tury before France- will have another like it.” And here, too, were Charlotte Corday, Desmoulins, Danton, and, final ly, Robespierre himself. The prison of Vincennes was first built by the miscalled John the Good and, after being allowed to fall into a ruinous condition, was restored, by Louis XI. Its most distinguished guest was the young pretender, “bonnie Prince Charlie,” who, after the signing of the treaty of Aix la Chapelles, was requested to leave France. He refused to obey the command of Louis XV to this effect, determining in a moment of bravado to attend the opera the very evening after he had received his in junction. When the hour arrived he set out in spite of the advice of his followers, who feared a public scandal. But the prince only exclaimed, “The more public the better!” and went his way. As he approached the opera house he discovered that it was sur rounded by 1,200 soldiers. No sooner had his carriage drawn up at the steps than a body of cavalry massed itself round about and a harsh demand was made on the hot-headed youth for his sword. “Come and take it!” he shouted, as he drew the blade and made a flourish with it. Before he had any opportun ity to do more he was seized from be hind and conveyed to the prison of Vincennes. Here he remained only six days, until Dec. 16, 1748, when he was permitted to join his father in Rome. Later Mlrabeau was immured here, and in revenge had the prison turned into a kind of bakery during the last days of the reign of Louis XVI, after he had become the tribune of the peo ple. Later it was restored to its old use, and It was here that the Duke d’Enghein met his mysterious fate at the hands of the first Napoleon. Ancient Printing. Recent Investigations, in Egypt prove almost beyond question that the won derful people of the Nile actually print ed with movable types as early as the ninth century of our era. Two papyri of that time have been found, and twenty-seven printings on paper of the century following. Indications point to all the printing being done by priests, and the perfection of it indi cates that it was then no new experi ment with the clever craftsmen. It has also been learned that printed pa- 1 per money was issued in northern Syria during the second crusade, and as early as 794 the government of the ca liph of Bagdad owned and operated a paper factory in the town named._ Pittsburg Dispatch. --- •?, An Antwe. prayer.
