and listening to the voice Of the gale raging outside
as il has been for the last three days. Paris has
changed much within a few days, and II is now
clothed in its winter garments. The aspect OF the
boulevards, passages. and other promenaaes, is
curious TO who has witnessed the Sudden
Transformation. The big overcoats have taken
the place Of the light habit de eherai; the velvet
and dark silk dresses have turned out the light
gauzes, mouselines and other fashionable summer
goods. There are no more dancing parties in the
public gardens--they have shut their doors-ihe
leaves are already covering the pretty sand of their
alleys; the dampness of their groves have chased
all the little cupds from their abodes The time
of love is over, that of folly has arrived. In fort
night the Opera will open its door nightly for the
masked balls, and Musard will be ready to agitate
the little bells Of Menus, with the incompatible
aid OF his powerful orchestra.

wished 10 hide his dshsnor in a witery grave.
Having known the cause OF HE despair, the priest
gave him the LEO francs which he had disspated,
and tho solder left him with a promise that he
would soon replace the lOan IN bis hands. Two
Years elepsk after that dramatic incident, when
