Ron ,ace in Real Lye.-A scene took place
one evening in the Camp Elysees, almost un-
rvalled in the annals of romance. The tenor
Borsari, who has had most magnificent sue

vantage of cnnge 10 visit Paris. lie was
walking uadcr the trees in the Champs Ely.
SECS, near the Seine, when he caught sight Of
an oil man, neatly dressed, dragging forth
! from an old fiddle some faint sounds, to which
! none listened. Bossari started, struck his
hand upon his forehead to collect hi. thoughts,
and then leaving the Indies, rushed up to the
poor muscam;
'Ecco mi: it's me- said he in raging voice.
The old man raised his head in astonish.

MY poor master, what has reduced you to
this extremity
The man told his history. He had been an
impresario. lie had at the head ola troop of
singers, gone through the Isles Of Greece; but
misfortune had every where been his fate. AT
ter miraculous escape from shipwreck, he
got sick. Incompletely cured, he came to
Paris to an old pupil, lady, who was kind to
him, but who suddenly died. Giacomo then
went to the orchestra of a little theatre, but at
last reduced to the last extremity, he came to
play in the Champ Elysees. While the old
man spoke, Besari was feeling his pockets
ill he found was couple of pounds. Sud-
denly he took bold resolution.

At once, in a singing, splendid voice, Bosari
commenced this magnificent piece. A crowd
colected-the singing cafes were deserted
the carriages drew up and fashionable au-
dience descended from them. At the sight of
such an audience the old man reused himself;
his bow, directed by a firm hand, drew forth
delicious sounds. The audience were struck
with admiration, and the setting sun seemed to
transport every one to ltal y.
When he ended, the tenor took round his
hat. No one refused. Gold poured in us well
as silver and when he cmptied his own purse
among the heap Of gold, he gave it to the old
man, exclaiming:

Of longevity are twice as considerable for the

instance, there are twice the number of rich
alive as poor on number originally equal,
while at So years of age there are three times
