It is both comic and melancholy. She
raised a storm because I indulged in a
reverie after supper. After lookiug at
me a short tiuM she reproachful ly
eried:
"You are thinking about the Prin
cess" "Yes," I replied.
'Alas! how wretched I am!" she
sobbed. She has coughed more and
more during the past few weeks, and
lier tears brought on another fit of
coughing worse than any before.
'Why do you not take better care of
yourself, dear Rose?" said I. " "
"I am not worth it, and when I am
dead you will be well rid of me." -
"More f ree, V.' thought I; "but I hast

It is raining hard and I have a little
time to think. But to think in Rose's

pleasant. Even amid the best o:
thoughts there is always a fear of clash'
Ing with one's selfishness. .",

i 17th March, 1876.
Will these accursed days, unblessed
by a sight of her, eer pass by? All I
think, all I write, when I have not the
happiness of expecting her, haa no
other end than to make me exist for
her. In the evening at the theater my

No! Mademoixelle, your beautiful eyes
have no attraction for me, and your
sympathetic voice barely reaches my
ear.
To distract my thoughts from her I
have plunged into serious reading, and
have thrown off the thrall of useless
novels with plots to-order, all as ridicu
lous as impossible or too far-fotehed to
be anything but tedious and annoying. '

Occasionally t fall anleep after tho
perusal of one of these books, and fool
as though I were reposing ' tt the

Poetry is my delight, even when the
author atrives ;to hover beyond the
reach- of human- intelligence. Soran
poeta can communicate to their readers
a part of their own soaring souls, but
without continuity., . Their efforts are
interesting, they ;make you reflect.

But when I reflect, it seems to me
that human reason seeks a higher,
nobler plane than that which it can
ever attain;1t la possessed of an irresist
ablencedof knowledge which attracts
and confuses it, for it cannot regain its
equilibrium. Then it is that it is sur
rounded with difficulties. Doubt
strangles and crashes it, and it is
forced to admit the"existence of a
power stronger than' itself, against
which it dashes itself in vain.
Ia it in this that Uod resides?

10th April, 1876.
Rose's cough grows more and mora
distressing, and the effect on me is
strange. I offer to try and relieve her,
but she repulses me, and I do not feel
vexed. . Her jealousy increases, and is.
I think, the worst side of her illness
but nnfortunately it is not mortal. I
dreamed that sho was no more and
wonder what emotion I experienced on
awakening. ; ;
20th and list April, 1S76.
I saw the Princess yesterday, but she
did not give me a single glance, not
even one of pity. Had I not already
admitted that she did not care for me,
my doubts would have been confirmed.
She swept past in her splendid equi
page, with a young friend, whom I
know not, at her side, who seemed to
bo recounting to her some a.nusing
atory. for she smiled more, than usual
her eyes even sparkled. The idea seized
me to follow them and I rushed after
the carriage lfke a madman, but when t
reached the Hois de Boulogne I lost
sight of them." 1 4 caught my breath
again and pursued my way at hazard in
the direction ofthe Alice des Acacias.
She was there on foot, no longer with
her young friend, but in the company
oi iwo or enree weu-aressea men wlio
were looking at her. I cannot say how,
but in a way that greatly displeased
me. I could not bear it long and
turned ray eyes away. Alas, at the
same time my situation appeared to ma
in all ita wretchedness and I could not
restrain a sob which rose in my breast.
I held out my arms to her fi-om the
bushes in which I was concealed, and
fell to the ground like a drunken man.
She passed on without seeiug me. and
I thought I heard this fragment of con
versation which makes me quiver vet:
&HG. aPIAN TO THft bmxaJ.

"Too promise it to me, lYlne?
And her soft, sweat voice answered
"Yea."
What? What do yoa promlae? I
mutt khow. But aba had already
passed on. . ,-,.....
Then I lost consciousness. At night
fall I was awakened by one of the park
poliee, who shook me by the shoulder,
called me a drunkard and roughly told
me to leave the wood.
, I replied humbly that I was not
'drank

; 27th April, 1876.
Now unjust you are toward me! If
only, some day But, no. I sin
dreaming, and yet I am awake, and
from thte dream tberA 1? no n-wakA-tipc'
except death. She came again, and I
have seen her, bnt that is all. She can
not possibly doubt the existence of my
passion, which she has created and
keeps alive. ; ' - . ; ,
Horrible thought! miserable blas
phemy! Suzanne will never be; mine,
and I mutter, continually, in spite of
myself. ' If only she could understand
me! :' ,l. . ; . ,,.:. ,.
We shall give but few more extracts
from Jnlien's journal, in which ..he did.
not seek to hide the enthusiasm of Ills
intense love. His diary becomes mono
tonous and has no interest except for
the author of it, who found relief in
writing it, from his futile and hopeless
passion. : , -
The Princess even began to be aware
of the sentiments of tho former cabin
boy toward her and felt annoyed.' Her
visits became mrer and rarer, and were
made solely to reassure her that lloso
was well cared for; but all conversation
which Julien attempted to clothe with
an air of intimacy was carefully avoid
ed, much to his disappointment. Rose
was not deeeived. Nhe well knew that
her husfmnd's heart had become-entirely
estranged from her, and she became
still worse. She felt the end approach
ing and wept over Zanetter so soon to
be bereft of a mother's love; ' Julien,
blinded by his passion, did not even
perceive her tears. ,
As we follow step by step.the irtysferi-
bus tragedy slowly unfolding itself in
this melancholy household, we find in
his journal an exact account of the
strange inner workings of his soul, re
vealing a careless cruelty, cynically
elf acknowledged in the incoherent
expression of a fevered brain dominated'
by the one tnought of his love.
19th Mar, 1878.
At last she received me, but in the
presence of a friend, who showed no
disposition to leave. Strange friend!
How she did watch me! Suzanne must
have spoken to her about me, or she
would never have looked at me as she
diil. Suzanne was writing and ap
peared annoyed;' certainly not at my
presence there, for she hadconsented to
roeeive mo, and I should like to have
waited until her friend had taken her
departure. Her little blue boudoir is
gem, and how well it suits her . com
plexion! There are times when she
jeems to be moro goddess than woman.
I have had to-day an .instant of true
happiness, too short, alas! and ' too
iearly paid for! Her friend gone, I
was at Inst alone with her. But I felt
itrangely troubled, for she fixed on me
the gaze of her large blue eyes, though
her smile asked: ' '
"Now, answer mo sincerely, and
whatver may be your reply I will not
bandim Zanette. Are you the former
eabiu boy who once saved tho life of
him whom I so greatly, loved, and
whose pardon he obtained? If it were
true, I conld love Zanette a thousand
times move dearlyi" She breathed
faster and her gaze burned into me.
So it was of Znnette, that insignificant
littlo being. : she was thinking! For
me nothing but a cold "thank yon" if I
tnswered yes. What! Answor , yes!
What is it to nie that she should' desire
to know what I did in the bygone days?
What to me is her devotion of the past?
"onfronted with this direct question,
which she had never before put to mo"
with any precision, I made appeal to
til my strength, and refusing Iter com
miseration resolutely replied: ' st 'v A' '
l"No, Princess; I do not know to
what you allude."
Seeing her become extremely pale, I
murmured some words of love; bnt Rho
pretended not to nnderstand me. I
drew nearer to her, but she repulsed
Bio with dignity and recoiled from me.
My eyes refused their services, and I
threw myself at her feet, hoping she
would raise me. Oh! how quickly was
that supreme hope swept awav! Her
gaze became threatening, and without
a word she sprang to the bell.
In a few seaonds a footman, atiff in
his livery, appeared. Why did she not
have me thrown out, then and there?
f 'Send Gaston to me," alio snid. Gas
ton is her youngest sou.
How noble she appeared to me at
that moment! - She placed between us,
bv these few wordi which could -ot
betray me, an insuperable barrier her
child.
Then I departed with a muttered re
quest, "May I return, Princess?" but I
did not hear her answer. -
11th May, 1878.
Sleep has abandoned B.e. Was she
angry or only suprised, and have I
broken every bond between us? ,
. Rose is extremely terrible and is be
coming much fcebier. I am quite un
easy, for she is now always in a high
atateW fever. -
13th May, 1876.
I mu quite convinced that the Princess
is only restrained by the fear of not do
ing what is right. Oh! these conven
tionalities! I am married; without a
crime she cannot accept my adoration,
her sense of honor withholds her, and
that only, I hope, for, indeed, she is
young. ;;cV
I should like to conciliate matters,
and it seems to me that I could , with
ease, but to augment her lore for the
dead by my action is too serious a risk.
But What is it to her, to a Princess?
Does a title appeal to the heart.'

The Financier of Xew York, on of
the leading financial papors of tha
country, in an article showing the dif
ference between tha Intrins'e and the
money or 'af value of gold and ail
ver coins, says:
The two precious meials haye aa
ii triat-ic value and a coin value, which
are by no meant necessarily identical
which in fact never are identical.
The intrinsic value of an ounce of
' gold ;s its value as a commodity for
change value as money.
This difference is so material that
if gold were demonetized were not
coined' or used a money its price per
ounce would probably be lees than
half its price at present We have no
means o. determining this accurately,
nor is it necessary. All that is neces
sary to clear understanding of Iho
fundamental quostion of coinage is a
clear apprehension of this difference
between the intrinsic value of the coin-
a" molal ana 113 exchange value
wn6n lnel as money. Where gold
"" been even Partry demonetized this
difference has become manifest at
once. ' Its price as bullion has fallen
'to ward the levalof its natural or in

of gold, and its price falls 5, 10, 15,
25 per cent no matter what. The im
portant matter to be remembered is,
that it will fall in a direct ratio to the
extent of the demonetization, and if
the demonetization ' is - complete the
fall will only be checked when the
level of natural or intrinsic value is
reached.
. "There is not a dollar's worth of
wheat in a gold dollar. Nor Is there
in a silver dollar.
Tho intrinsic value of the wheat
given for either a gold or silver dol
lar is greater than the intrinsic value
of the metal in either. The wheat is
aot g.ven for the metau It is given
for the coin as a means of exchange
for other things of equal intrinsic
value with the wheat Demonetise
the gold dollar which buys a bushel of
wheat reduce it to the intrinsic value
of the metal in it, and the metal in
the gold dollar will not buy a half
bushel Of wheat because that amount
of whoat is more useful for broad
than that amount of gold is for deco
rating wall paper or making jewelry.
"if silver is wholly or in part de
monetized, its price falls toward its
intrinsic value in precisely the same
way. The rule is invariable and to bo
relied on at all times. It is the first
principle of coinage, and those who
remember it and apply it will not be
lost in tho bewildering confusion of
statements about value of , this dollar
or that They will know thouarh the
coin value of a gold dollar may be
double its intrinsic value it is not a
50 cent dollar on that account. No
matter what the dollar is, the ex
change value it has is given it by the
coinage stamp on it and this ex
change value is not its intrinsic value
by any moans. It is always much
greater thau the intrinsic value."
If this ia true, is there any differ
ence in "precious metal" dollars and
paper dollars? In answer to this ques
tion the Financier admits that there is
not any difference, and only holds to
the theory that the use of the precious
metals gives a natural meant of con
trolling the supply of money.
The denominations of money are
fixed by law without regard to the
material used to carry tho money
stamp.which is very tersely expressed
by tho United States supreme court
thus: "The constitution does not or
dain what metals may be coined or
that the legal value shall correspond
with the intrinsic. Coin pusses not
as intrinsic value but as a Wal
value. ''
With these authorities before us it
is very easy to determine "What is an
honest dollar?" All dollars issued by
government authority that are made a
full "legal lender" at their face value
without regard to the material used to
carry the money stamp, are "honest
dollars." "What is a dishonest dol
lar?" A dollar issued and made a
partial legal tender. Every dishonest
dollar we ever had in this country was
the result of dishonest robber legisla
tion in toe interests of the money

Nature' MaJte of Beewax.
"AT the month, of Nehalem river, on
the coast of Oregon, a very qnef r sub
stance is found. It has the appearance
of a mineral at first sight, bnt on close
inspection and trader practical test it
appears to be pure beeswax. It has all
the useful properties of beeswax, and it
is sold in Astoria at the regular mar
ket price of the beeswax. It is washed
ashore at high tide in quantities rang
ing from a lump the size of a walnut to
a chunk weighing ISO pounds. It is also
found on shore in black soil where trees
are growing at considerable elevations
above the water. A piece of this
strange substance has just been sub
mitted to expert examination in Xew
York, and is declared to be what is
known as mineral wax.
