SUNDAY IN PARIs.-There is, per-
haps, no line Of demarcation SO strong
between the English and French, as
the desecration Of the Sabbath by the
latter. We may identity ourselves
with their fashions, speak the language
from preference, and visit exclusively
in the Faubourg ST. Germans, until we
have shaken off all patriotic partial
ity, and we begin to fancy we are all
brethren Of the same land but this
illusion only lasts for six days of the
week-the revolving seventh chills us
back into aliens, among people who
make no distinction whatever of res
pect for the day which we so highly re-
verence.
The shops are unusually ful! on
Sunday; the various labors ofmechan-
les, masons, painters, carpenters, gla-
ziers are followed as a matter of
course. Ladies stand at their win
dows with needlework; and parties
playing cards by daylight may be seen
among all classes.
Sunday is the great washing-day
with les blaachisseuses of Paris, who
only prepare their laissaue for that day
lit is strong infusion of wood ashes,
the powerful alkali of which saves
them soap and labor, but at the cost
of the linen, which it makes rotton:)the
environs of Paris for some distance
appear to have been seized by the
washerwoman for drying grounds, and
the number offelds which on Sundays
are hung with lines of cloths far
exceeds what the eye can reach, and
rally requires TO be seen to be believ-
ed. Sunday is used also by country
families who have their own laundries;
therefore it would seem TO be more
than matter of chance.
But no persons work so hard on
the Sabbath as the French actors
Being sure of a full attendace at any
theatre on that day, they are in the
habit of making excursions to Versail-
les and other places within an easy
distance Of the capital, where they
give performance early in the after
noon to crowded audiences, and lheI
they return to Paris in time to fol
fl their usual h,,ei.e,-o u -
aters!

SIR ROBERT PEEL.

We promised in a late paper TO fur
nish some account of the past history
Of this statesman, who at present fills
so large a space of the public eye, and
who seems destined to exercise so
great an influence over the future des-
TIMES of Great Britain, and as conse-
quence to some extent, over those OF
the rest of Europe. His history and
some account OF the measures he has
in times past advocated, as an index TO
his present political character, seem a
subject of sufficient interest to justi-
fy US in again referring to the sub
iject.
A brief epitome of Sir Robert Peels
career will show that he is some
thing more than an ordinary man; and

ABOUT HORSES.

A writer in the Knickerbocker
tells these stories of the sagacity of
horses:
"Ofa twc-horse team, belonging 10
the Earl of --, near Oxford, one
was very vicious, the other quite TO
the reverse. In the stall next the gem
tie horse stood one that was blind. In
the morning, when the horses, about
twenty of them, were turned out TO
pasture, this good-tempered creature
constantly took his blind friend under
his protection. When he strayed from
his companions, his kind friend would
run neighing after, and smell round
him, and when recognized would
walk side by side, until the blind friend
was led to grass in the field. This
horse was so exceedingly gentle that
he had incurred the character of being
coward. when only himself was con-
cerned; but if any ofthem made an at
tack uponhis blind friend, he would
fly to the rescue with such fury that
not horse in the field could stand
against him. This singular instance
Of sagacity, / had almost said of disin-
tered humanity, may well put the
whole fraternity of horse-jockys 10 thc
, blush. They, to be sure, will fgh
for a brother-jockey, whether he j
, right or wrong; yet they expect hin
!, TO fight for them on the first simila
: occasion; but this kind-hearted ami
!, nal could anticipate no such reel

DEFINITION OF VULGARITy.---
The vulgar is everything which does
not speak TO the mind, and which raj
ses merely sensuous interest. There
are, it is true, thousand things which
are vulgar from their subject or con-
tents; but as the vufgarity Of the sub
iect can be elevated by its treatment
il is here the question only.of the yul-
car TO form. A dull man will debase
the nobIest subject by his dull han
ding of ia great intellect, on the
contrary, knows how to elevate anc
adorn The meanest subject, by linking
il to something spiritual, and by dis
corning noble side even Of this igno
Bic subject to which other men ar
blind. So an historian will judge 9
the most insignificant achievements 3
his hero with the same care and gravl
II as his noble deeds, and pause q
long over his genealogy, the fashion {

other hand, an historian OF intellect
and true nobility of soul throws an in

gives force and significance to the mos
trivial actions. The Dutch families
exhibit vulgar taste-the Italians a
great and noble taste-the Greeks still
more so; they lived wholly in theideal
cast aside every vulgar trait, and
choose no vulgar subject.-Monthly
