A certain editor, well known for his bonne fortune, threw his smiles upon a “rat” of the Imperial Academy of Music The “rat” experienced a natural anxiety to gnaw the purse-strings of her admirer, butcould not exactly see her way. Whilst thinking this matter over, a Bo- hemian of her acquaintance came in. “Do you think,” said the young ar- tiste, “that V— will be willing to lend me three thousand francs ¢”” ‘More than doubtful. But he might be induced to do it. Write asI shall dic- tate.” *Beloved—I expected some money this morning and have been disappoint- oa? “That’s a very old story,” interrupted the rat “Goon. Bring me then, I beseech you, three thousand francs, and come and dine with me at the same time. I have a splendid pheasant.” . . ‘And do you think,” said Mademoiselle Alphonsine, when the letter was gone, “that I shail get my money, or rather V—’s money, with that?” «With sucha letter, my friend, you will never get a sou, or I know nothing of the human heart.” “Then why did you make me write it?” “Because it was essential that a first note should precede the one I was about to dictate to you.” “What ! write another?” “Only two words.” “«*Dear friend—Consider my letter as not written. At the very moment I had dispatched it, the expected remittance made its appearance; I am now richissime. But dont forget, I expect you to dinner ; the pheasant is magnificent.’ ” e second letter was sent after the first. > “Now,” said the Bohemian, “this is what will happen. V—— will pretend not to have received your second note, and will show himself more generous, in that he will believe you are not in want of money.” 5 It bappisied en the Bohemian had anti- cipated. V—— offered the three thous- and francs with the idea that they would not be accepted; but, to his infinite hor- ror, they were pocketed at once. To complete his misfortune, there was not evena pheasant to console him. The! Bohemian ate it the same evening with| the assistance of Mademoiselle Alphon- sine, in a cabinet of the Maison Doree.

AX INDIAN DUEL. tide of the pale faced Oke-moke-mun vanished away from their homes and their bunting grounds, the warlike tribe of the Mismis. while their numerous camp-fires illumined the hills and eon of the West, when to battle along war path, Min-ge-ne-ke-aw, (the big man,) one of the gallant chiefs of the na- tion, felt his ire excited at the tation which a member of his tribe, a balf-breed. called Francois Godtroy, had obtained for courage and for his great personal strength. Min-ge-ne-ke-aw claimed to be the bravest, as well as the strongest man of his people, and would endure no rival. He chafed like the wild boar when he heard the braves and red beauties extol the manly bearing of his competitor ; and he resolved to test the and physical power of Frank in single com- bat. He gave no challenge to mortal combat with “ your humble servant” at the bottom, but meeting Frank ene day, he accosted him with— “Are you a brave .nan?” « Yes,” was the reply. “Then meet me here to-morrow morn- ing at sun-rise, with your scalping knife in your right hand ; we will join our left hands, and he who kills the other is the best and the bravest warrior of the Miamis ” ‘rank, though a man of dauntless courage and herculcan strength, saw no good reason to test either in that wa: but nothing but blood would satisfy chief, and Frank replicd, “I will meet you. At the appointed hour the chief strode along the battle ground. He relied not only on his personal strength, but on his great dexterity in the use of the scalping knife, which had often tried on the pale faces at Harmer St. Clair'’s defeat, as, with the deep growl of a tiger, he ad- vanced to anticipated victory. He bran- dished his knife, and called on his antag- enist to sing his death song, ere his spirit was dismissed, by the great chief, to the distant hunting grounds of the dead warriors of their race, who had fallen in battle, and gone to the Far West beyond:the great rivers. Frank saw there was no avoiding the deadly strife. To refuse, was to be branded as a coward and a squaw. The only alternative was victory or sudden death ; so he flourishid his keen blade, gave a shrill whoop of defiance and ad vanced. They joined their left hands, and there they stood face to face, and and, like Fitz James and Roderic Dhu of old, ~ Fach lodked to sun and sky and plain, As what thy y ne’er might see sgain.”* They musiered all their strength for the deadly thrust, raisedtheirkeen knives aloft, but ere they fell, Frank, the grip of whose hand was like an iron vice, wrung the Jeft hand of Min-ge-ne-ke-wa with such tremendous force as nearly crushed the bones together. The chief, with a yell of anguish, dropped his knife and called out, “You are a braver and a stronger warrior than I am; let us shake hands and be friends forever.” Tue InpvstraiaL Scnoo.s for girls, in New York, are six in number, and about eight hundred and fifty vagrant or needy young girls were in attendance during the year. The report says that «‘ the ladies and visitors who have organized these schools, have gone around in the most needy quarters, and have selected the poorest children, or have met them begging inthestreets They have offered the inducement of a dinner, the clothes which the child should earn, and achance of learning sewing, or some trade, which should by and by support her.” The Newsboys’ ing House has been very successful. ‘here have been 6,872 lodgers at the rooms during the year, and 408 different boys. The usual number of lodgers is from 25 to 40. These boys are much changed for the better. They come regularly to evening school, and to the informal — meetings on Sunday evenings. They wear cleanfshirts and clothes ; gambling and drinking have been much reduced. Their language and behavior are much improved ; they are more saving, indus- trious and cleanly. During the year ending were = 1855, the society sent into country children, 48 men and 19 women. of the children, about 422 were girls, and 376 boys. The number provided with places in the city is 53; 18 boys and 35 girls. The report adds: ‘The number of children clothed, either in part or whole by the seciety up to February 22d, was between three and four thousand. : The amount of good done by this So- ciety cannot be over-estimated. ‘Th begin the work of reform at the fountain- head. They both relieve distress and pre- vent crime. Even in point of economy, the operations of the association merit earnest support. Mr. Brace shows, in his argument on this subject, that while “each little begging girl in an industrial school costs only ; ——. - annum to the supporters o institution,” “ae child pina be arrested, held in the Tombs, tried, and afterwards confined in the house of refuge for a year, at a less expense than $175 or $200 per annem.” Thus it appears that prevention is not only better, but cheaper than punish- ment.
