A Paris correspondent tells the following story :— " About four weeks ago a young man threw off his coat at Asnieres, plunged into the Seine, and saved the life of a girl aged eleven. To protect himself from cold, he entered a draper's shop to buy a muffler, but found his purse gone. His po cket had been picked while m the water. The shopman viewed him as an impostor, and insisted on his going to the police office for spoiling the muffler. A young girl, an assistant, came forward, said Bhe believed the Btory, and. offered to pay the three francs, all that was m her purse Next day, the gentleman, a merchant, arrived m his carriage to pay the three francs, and yesterday he was married to the pretty shop-girl." Jack : "Do take my arm, Maggie !" Maggie: "Thanks — I'd rather have your hand." " Would you ? Then take it — you've got my heart already." Blushes — explanations — strange sounds, among the heather.
