Left alone, Noisette dre8d herself in the beauti ful robes she found, and, looking into the p.n f water, her only mirror, she smiled gaily at the visian before her. It whs btautiful. All the dresses and jewels wpre tried. Ai the bottom of one trunk she found a robe of snowy muslin. With a cry of delight, Noi setie threw aside the rich, rare-colored silk, and quickly arrayed herself in the simpllt, flowing white robes, and looking ijto the jewel-case, she found a w ream: oi ariicate wild-nowers. -All the gltterinir gems were cast aside by this guileless child ana her sunny tresses uohtiaed by the grscelul flow ers.

Kvenuuw the hour of invo cation approaches. Quick I As Noisette spoke, the village clock tolled the hour half past eleven ' noisette enterea the hut and closing the door, began her incantations. Placing her little rude tablet in the centre of Ihe room, she spread a white napkin over it ; upon this sho placed llirte larpe vine-leaves, and above all we r laid the taliamnnic crapes. She then made the signs of the cioss set en times, then turning', to the East, with arms crossed upon her breast, she chanted Spirits of eir, My fate declare, Show tne the face, be it dark or fair. I wait in despair, Where, then, O, wb.6re, Spirits of air I Midnight sounded. Unfortunately at the eleventh stroke the moon hid behind a dense cloud, and the interior of the lUtle hut was plunged in gloom. Noiaetie trembled with fear. She heard steps to the right, to the left behind and all round her. "Good heavens !' exclaimed Noi sette, naively, 4 how many feet hi my husband ?" bhe had hardly spoken when the moon shone forth again.

"Ah 1' excl.iimed she, "that is my belored,' nnd hastened to throw her self into his arms. Horror! it was the burgomaster's son who held her I Uttering a cry of horror, Noisette fainted. Ihe cry of the young girl was heard, and the ofh eer and men rushed into the but, and found her faint, laying like a broken ower upon the floor. V hue they ought to bring her to consciousness. there was beard martial music, and up the hill rode a glittering cavalcade with a beautiful young man at their head. Arriving at ice hut the young man dismounted and placing a little golden vil of exquisite perfume to the lips of the insensible .Noisette, he chanted in sweet tones : Spirits ot air, My fate declare. Speak to me once again, my fair. 1 wait in despair, Where, O where, Spirits of air Noisette, dear Noisette, open your eyes and speak to me." The blue eyes unclosed, and raising her bead, Noisette looked at the hand some youth who knelt before her, 'Who are you, sir V she asked be wildered. 'The prince !'' whispered the fifsr. "My wife I" exclaimed the young man, and he extended Lis arms to wards the trembling girl. "My husband, chosen by heaven I" stammered the beautiful girl, and threw hesstlf, blushing deeply, into the arms extended to her. Thus Noisette, the little vintage maiden, became the wife of a power ful prince. Such is the legend I heard on the banks of the Danube. It ia now the favorite legend of the vintage. Go you and listen to it a I did, sitting beneath the fragrant vines, and believe the pretty tale as I do not.

III. behaved not only handsomely, but even nobly, when, in June, 1785, he received Adams, as th first ambassador from the United States to England. In a few well-selected words Adams ad dressed Georgey, and received the fol lowing reply : "Sir, I wish you to believe, and that it may be understood in America) that I have done nothing in tne laie contest but what! thouzht myself indispensblay bound to do by the duty which I owed to my people. I will be vary frank with vou. I was the last to consent to the separation ; but the separation having been made, and having become inevitable, I have always said, at I now say. that I would be the first to to meet the friend ship of the United States as an inde pendent power." These are words of proper dignity as well as of decor ous wisdom. Air. Adams, who re cords them, impressivelv adds, The king was indeed much affected, and I confess I was not lets so." it, A Curiods Leqnd. There is a tra dition in connection with the lite on which the Temple of Solomon was erected. It is said to have been occupied in common by two brothers one of whom had a family, the other had none. . On this spot was sown a field of wheat. On the evening suc ceeding the harvest, the wheat having been gathered in separate shocks "the elder brother said unto his wife, 'My younger brother is unable to bear the bnrden and heat of the day ; I will ariie, tuke of my shocks and place with his, -without his knowledge. " The younger brother, being actuated by the same benevolont motives, said within himself, ''My elder brother has a family, and I have none, I will con tribute to their support I will ariae, take of my shocks and place with his without his knowledge." Judge of their mutual astonishment, when, on Ihe following morning, they found their respedive shocks andiminished. This eouise of event transpired for several nights, when each resolved in his own mind to stand guard anil solve ihe mystery. They did so ; wbeo.oa the following night, they met each other half wy between their respec tive shocks, with their arms full. An Example Tor Duelists. Alphonse Karr, among the wittiest of Parisian gossips, tells a capital tale of a man who would neither decline a duel nor fight. Messieurs A. and B., having quar relled about some one of these mere nothings about which, in Paris as else where, gentlemen so often risk their lives, B. challenged A., but most de voutly trusted that A. would not fight Nothing of the kind, A. was quite willing and all the necessary arrange ments ware made. Well, B. eaid his second, "we have had some trouble to arrange about distance : but at length it is set tie for twenty paces, both fire tocetit er, and the meeting is for to-morrow morning, at nine o cjock. "Ah I" "Yes, in the wood of Vincennes." "Humph," said B., and we are to fight at twenty paces 7" "les." "I should just as soon have it at fifteen or even ten." "Well, I wanted to put you np at fifteen. , but A 's. second would not agree to it, so I yielded the point." "Ah, you yielded that point. I am fully determined, however, that they shall not have another point yielded. "Well, no, that ean hardly be even asked for, seeing that everytning is arranged, and it only remains jiow to wait for the morning." ' . " Oh, but there may be a point in dispute yet, snd I will certainly main tain my rights." ' No one attacks them." "I am the Offended party." "Undoubtedly." "And therefore have the choice of weapons ? Well I I choose small swords." "Small swords I Why, did you not just now consent to fight at twen ty paces ?" "Yes, I am not the man to retire from an agreement which a friend has made in my name. I repeat that fif teen or even ten paces would have suited me just as well. But you have said twenty, and let it be twenty." ' Very good. And now about the pistols ; have you any 1" "Pistols I What for 7 I am not going to fight with pistols." 'some misunderstanding between us, 1 tear, uia you not just now leu me that you would fight at twenty paces 1" . "Yes I accept the twenty paces, but not the roistols. I am not that gentleman slave. He insisted upon twenty psces, ana you yielded the point. Very well, 1 yield that point, tdo, but I will not yield another. Twenty paces, because you have promised j but the sword Is my weap on, and only the sword. I will face him, sword in hand, at twenty paces, just as soon as he likes-" as u. persisted in "mainiaining uis rights," the duel, of course, never took place. Tlie Fay's Complaint.
