LITERATURE. THE FORTUNES OF JACQUES CARTIER.

One fine day, about three hundred years

ago, a joyous group of children were amus~ ing themselves on the ramparts of St. Malo. Built on the rock, these fortifications, flank- | ed by their massive towers ani bastions, | form, from the beauty and extent of the land- scape spread beneath them, a most delight- ful promenade. At the moment in which our tale coms | menees, one child, of about twelve years old, sat aloof from the others, leaning his back | against the principal tower. There was | something sad and almost wild in the ex- pression of this boy’s countenance, as his blueeyes painfully followed the active move- ments and merry games of his companions. After some time a few of them, half wearied with play, approached him. « Well, Jacques,’ said one. ‘ won't you come and play ? * No, thank you, Bernard.’ ‘Oh, let him alone,’ said another, ‘he al-~ ways likes to be sulky and keep to himself.’ ‘Because | feel that I am alone in the world,’ replied Jacques, a tear rolling down his cheek. |

‘But you have no right to feel any such thing,’ said a tall lad, who had just come up; | you know very well that ever since your father and mother died, you are welcome to a bed and a bow! of soup at every house in St. Malo.’

‘Yes, but that is only for charity ; no one thatreally cares for me.’ |

‘ The good God in Heaven does; He cares for even the little sparrows, as our curate told us last Sunday; and I'm sure we're all ready to love you if you would let us. Just now my mother desired me to bring you | home to dinner, and not on any account to come without you, so come along, my boy.’ |

Jacques, without speaking, took hold of the outstretched hand of the good-natured | Jean Penalto, and accompanied him to his | father’s cottage.

This, like all the fisher en's dwellings at St. Malo, was athatched wooden hut. The floor was of clay; trusses of straw served for beds, and there was little furniture hes sides @ table and some rudely-fashioned stools; on the walls hung fishingsnets.

As the boys entered a savory odor met them, proceeding from the well thickened

vegetable soup which the mother of the}

family was lading into bowls for her husband and five sons.

‘Good morning to you, Jacques!’ said Theresea, smiling pleasantly at the sad. looking boy. Why did you not come to us yesterday.’

Then, without waiting for a reply, she bes stowed a hearty kiss on her two youngest children, who just then entered to dinner.

The last night's fishing had been success- ful, and the little party were very merry. The father related anecdotes of his youthful fishing excursions, and she children of the recent ones in which they had assisted, while the good mother listened to them all with complacent love. When the recital, how- ever, involved any idea of danger, she would turn and kiss the forehead of him who had escaped from it; whilst at the detail of any courageous deed she would raise her head and jook at the hero with heightened color and sparkling eyes.

Jacques alone did not speak or smile, and ate very little.

The repast ended, every one rose" the el~ der ones to return to their varions employ- ments, the younger (o their sports. Jacques also was going out, but Theresa detained him at the door.

(New Orleans Picayune.)

One winter evening, a country storekeeper in the Mountain State was about closing his doo:s for the night, when while standing in | the snow outside, putting up his window} shutters, he saw through the glass.a loung- ing, worthless fellow within, take a half- pound of fresh butter from the shelf, and | hastily conceal i. in his hat.

The act was no sooner detected than the revenge was hit upon, and a very few mo- meats found the Green Mountain storekeeper | at ence indulging his appetite for fun to the |

| | |

fullest extent, and paying off the thief with a facetious sort of torture for which he might | have gained a premium from the old Inquisis

tion. i

“Stay. Seth!" said the storekeeper, coms | ing in, and closing the door after uim, slap- | ping his hands over his shoulders, and stamp-

| ing the snow olf his shoes.

Seth had his hand on the door, and his ha, | upon his head, and the roll of butter in his | hat, anxious to make his exit as soon as pos- | sible.

‘Seth,we'll have a little warm Santa Cruz,’ said the Green Mountain grocer, as he opened | the stove door, and stuffed in as many sticks |

as the space would admit i

“ Without it you'd freeze going home such | a night as this.’

Seth felt very uncertain; he had the buts ter and was exceedingly anxious to be off, but | the temptation of ‘something warm’ sadly | interferred with his resolution to go. This hesitation, however, was soon settled by the right owner of the butter taking Seth by the shoulders, and planting him in a seat near the stove, where he was in such a manner cornered in by barrels and boxes that, while the country grocer sat before him, there was no possibility of his getling out, and right in this very piace, sure enough, the storekeeper sat down.

Seth already fellthe butter settling down i

closer to his hair, and he declared he must go.

‘Not tili you have something warm ; come I have got a story to tell you, Seth;’ and Seth was again pushed into his seat by his cunning tormentor.

‘Oh! it’s too hot here,’ said the petty thief again altempting to rise.

‘I say, Seth, sit down; I reckon now, on such a night as this, a little something warm wouldn't hurta fellow; come sit down.

‘Sit down—don't be in such a plaguey hurry,’ repeated the grocer, pushing him back in his chair.

‘But I’ve got the cows to fodder, and some wood to split, and Imust be a-going, cons tinued the persecuted chap.

* But you mustn't tearf yourself away, Seth, in thismanner, Sit down; let the cows take cure of themselves, and keep yourself cool ; you appear to be fidgetty,’ said the roguish grocer, with a wicked leer.

The next thing was the production of two smoking glasses of hot rum toddy, the very sight of which in Seth’s present situation would have made the hair erect upon his head,had it not been oiled and kept down by the butter.

‘Seth, I'il give you a toast now, and you ean duller it yourself,’ said the grocer, yet with an air of such consummate simplicity that poor Seth siill believe:i himself unsus-

pected. ‘Seth, here’s—here’s a Christmas goose, well roasted and basted, eh? I tell you it’s the greatest eating in creation. And,

Seth, don’t you use hog’s fat or common cook- ing butter to baste a goosewith. Come, take your butter—I wean Seth, take your toddy.’ Poor Seth now began to smoke as well as to mell, and his mouth was as hermitically sealed up as though he had been born dumb. Streak after streak of butter came pouring from under his hat, and his handkerchief was already soaked with greasy overflow. Talks
