---------PAUL SCARRON AND…
PAUL SCARRON AND HIS WIFE. Long ago there lived in France a very well built and handsome young man named Scarron. He had studied for the church, and was an abbe hut he Was of a gay disposition. He danced, played the lute, was admired by the fair sex, and wrote well in a lively fashion. His father had an income of 25.000 livres a year, and he was independent ol fortune. In the year 103S the carnival was kept with un- usual splendour. People in all sorts of disguises paraded through the town and played tricks upon each other. There was a grand procession, and music, sup- pers, and balls everywhere. Scarron conceived the idea of out-doing every- body else. He determined to assume the part of a savage Colouring his skin with some dark pig- ment, he stripped himself nearly naked, and with feathers, beads and gewgaws, strutted about until at last a great mob followed him, and taking offence at his want of costume began to pelt him with atones and threaten his life. He fled, but they were fa.st behind him and at last he left the town, and Hying for dear life, dashed through a strip of woods and plunged into a marsh. Heated as he was the chill was terrible and in this spot he was obliged to conceal himself all night. He reached home through the assistance cf some kind strangers, who believed him to be the victim of a practical joke, for he bad hidden his finery in the ditch and dearly indeed did he pay for his wild escapade. From that moment he never walked again. He was just twenty-seven, and all life lay before him, but a sort of rheumatic palsy had seized upon him. Physicians could do nothing for him. It seemed impossible for him to believe it. He tried all the baths and remedies then known, but his disorder increased he suffered continual pain, and by degrees his body was twisted entirely out of shape, so that lie was hunch-backed, and had shortened arms and even fingers but his face was bright and expressive, and he could write on a portfolio placed on his knees. Meanwhile his father, a widower, had given him a veritable step-mother of the fairy tales, who hated him and his two sisters bitterly. She had children of her own, and considered the first wife's offspring in her way. Domestic unhappiness was se the consequence, and the crippled brother offered his sisters a home under a roof of his own. Although helpless he still had a living at Mans, and was tolerably well off. However, even this he was destined to lose, for there dawned upon his life something that was better to him than money. A beautiful young woman, accomplished and elegant, met this poet who, crippled as he was so that he could only be moved about in a chair, was always gay and witt", of whom Balzae said that he had gone farther in insensibility than the Stoics, for they only ignored pain, while he made a joke of it to amuse the world. Incapable of offering her even a caress, lie still gave her his heart and she married him, devoting herself to him for life. She made his home bright and helped him to entertain the wits of the day but lie lost the living by marrying, as one may well imagine. Meanwhile his father had offended the government and was exiled, and his step- mother seized upon the property for her own uc. When his father died, she refused to share her fortune with the crippled Scarron and his sisters and he brought the matter into court and lost it. The papers he drew up for the case were very amusing, although he was actually contesting for bread. They were full of burlesquerie, and placed everything in a ludicrous light. When in great distress, he wrote to the queeu, requesting to be made Sick man to her majesty," and wrote his petition in these words Scarron, by the grace of God, an unworthy sick man of the queen a man without a house, though a moving hospital of disorders walking with other people's legs, and suffering almost with- out sleep but in spite of all, courageous and brave enough, though he plays a losing game." The (lueen gave him a pension, but his love of fun lost it to him very soon, for he ridiculed a person high in office, and was deprived of it in revenge. Having lost his health by a frolic, he lost his case, for if he had chosen to present himself as an object of pity, or to use such arguments as would have awakened sympathy, it seems likely he would have received some portion of the wealth his father left behind him. A joke lost him also the favour of the queen and her pension, which a previous joke had gained. Further, having dedicated his works to various noblemen—who paid for the honour in those days by subscriptions—he, in a facetious fit, dedicated one to his dog, whom he praised in the fulsome terms used by authors of thoce days. Great offence was given to many persons of rank who had patron- ized him. Madame Scarron, whose heart had been won by the liveliness that triumphed over all misfortunes, thoroughly approved of everything he did or uttered. She also kept his friends about him by her pleasant hospitality and he said, as he ap- proached his end, that the only regret he had in dying was to leave her, and leave her poor. For she is the best wife man ever had," he de- clared. She is possessed of infinite merit, and I have every imaginable reason to admire and praise her." She was the only thing he never made a joke of, for even as death approached he jested, and seeing all about him weeping, said My poor children, you will never cry so much for me as I have made you laugh:" and planned to write a "satire against the hiccough," with which he suffered, when it had almost killed him. After all his alilictions, he lived to be fifty years old, and earned the title of Emperor of the Bur- lesque by the works of his pen. After his death Madame Scarron, left penniless, was taken notice of by a person high in favour at the Court of Louis Fourteenth, and made governess to some children in the royal family and, it is said, influenced the immoral king in a way that won the favour of the queen, who made her a close friend, and finally died in her arms. The king had not liked her at first, and had called her a prude, but finally she won his heart. They were married secretly at midnight, at Versailles. The king's confessor per- formed the ceremony, and an archbishop was the witness. When the king died she retired to the con- vent of St. Cyr, and ended her days in deeds of charity. To those who were her intimates she spoke often of her youth. When at the age of sixteen she gave herself to Scarron, and professed her belief that they should meet in Heaven, where, she would often declare, his body will be as boautiful as his gay and tender spirit was on earth.

Both Parcels prove to be absolutely pure, genuine anp sound also or rich composition in the various active principles and nutrients belonging to this beverage. Judging chemically, there does not seem to be any marked difference of composition in the two samples, and in this respect they com- pare particularly well with the choicest qualities of Tea that are offered. The flavour and aroma in each case are exceedingly pleasant and agreeable. And taking tie figures upon them as indicating their retail prices, I should consider them as offer- ing special value. T.

---THE MYSTERIOUS CIPHER;1…
those WhO were at all curious regarding Old Dorwin's housekeeping arrangements, he has grown very angry. At times he has not hesitated to lay violent hands upon those so bold as to persist in their efforts. When he is absent from the Bluff, a huge dog, as taciturn and as savage as himself, guards the premises." "Yes, I saw the creature," Cavendish said. He was lying at his master's feet, I suppose, or close beside him, wasn't he ? I sometimes think the two are related, there is such an understanding and so ranch sympathy between them." Cavendish hesitated. He did not care to tell where he had seen the dog, so he only said I also, sometimes think there is a sort of human intelligence about animals." The judge looked curiously at his visitor. Come, come," said he. Why are you not more explicit in your account of your adventure 1 You were so confident of success this morning when we parted at the office that I had great expectations of your report this evening. The Hermit didn't frighten you with any hocus-pocus pranks, in order to keep you away in the future, did he ?" Cavendish forced himself to smile. co Not exactly," he said. I won't deny, though, but that the old fellow's acquaintance is one I should not care to cultivate. His uncanny ways, wild, uncouth manners, and the dogged silence he maintains, do not constitute a very agreeable asso- ciate. It's a great pity the fortune lie values so little couldn't have fallen to the lot of some other person." To yourself, for instance," the judge suggested, Yes, to myself, for instance," responded Caven- dish, brightening. There never was a poor wight in greater need of riches. I'd make all my friends happy, besides endowing innumerable clumtable institutions." Judge Fielding leaned back in his chair, and remained silent for some moments as though musing. "Cavendish," he at last said, "what if all this expectation about recovering the key to the mys- terious cipher should fail ? What if there isn't any key to be found, and the will remains forever unread 1 What then ?" 11 Well, sir, in that case Old Dorwin would laugh at us all, and lay claim to the greater wisdom. But I don't think we shall be disappointed. For three years and more parties have been at work upon the wrecked hulk. We know that the all- important paper is aboard of her, safely protected in a strong iron box. Workmen are gradually breaking the ship to pieces to get at the valuables -in her hold. Enough has already been brought to the surface to justify the hope that the iron box will also be recovered. There is a confidential agent of the heirs constantly on board the wrecker, to examine everything the divers bring up; so, in the nature of things, there can't be any failure in the matter. I certainly hope there won't be any failure," the elder gentleman heartily replied. "It's time the estate was divided. But if Old Dorwin persists in his refusal to declare himself, who will come into possession ?" Undoubtedly the child of whom I told you this morning." Have you ever seen it ? No. I do not even know whether it is a girl or a boy. All I know about the mother is, that this child is the last "direct descendant of Guy D'Auvigne's daughter. That branch of the family continued to reside in the old country for many years after D'Auvigne's murder, but eventually its members emigrated to this country, and are now represented only by this child." Is there anyone acting in behalf of that child ?" Yes, the legal gentlemen with whom I air associated are searching for that claimant also, and it is possible that since Old Dorwin will not appea: as an heir. I may be recalled, to assist in finding thf other one." ( To he continued.)
