AParisian Rreakfa.t

1 rang the bell and Monsieur Charles
responded by bowling himself in as
graceful as a dancing master. To this
hour 1 cannot determine whether Charles
was the proprietor of Hotel de Tours or
its garcon. He was shrewd enough for
the one and serviceable for the other.
My order given, he seized a diminutive
table, with one hand persuaded it to the
middle of u sitting room, threw over
it a snow white table cloth, rushed wild
ly yet noiselessly out, returned with
plates for three, diminutive war clubs,
which we recognized as bread, and in
twenty minutes, American time, from
the giving of my order breakfast was
smoking on the board. I beg pardon
for the misnomer ; it war only a sugges-
tion of a breakfast to a hungry Ameri-
can The bread appeared as war clubs,
but not of a size to knock down a stout
appetite; the butter pats were the most
delicate hints at butter ever thrown out;
the fowl was but a Miss chicken of very
slender genteel proportions; while the
beef steak could never have been missed
by the noble OK, its former proprietor.
He might have been at that very mo-
ment roaming over pleasant fields, quite
unconscious that a homeopathic portion
of himself was before three dismayed
hungry Americans. 1915
Monsieur Charles" said D. with
eminent s~olemnity, ".if compatible with
the larder of Hotel de Tours we would
lk to have some butter. 1 don't mean
several pounds, such as a western
American is accustomed to, but sufici-
ent-suficient, Monsieur Charles and,
Monsieur Charles, another fowl-say
the twin sister of this late unfortunate;
and, Monsieur Charles, if it would not
create a famine in the Empire, cause
barbados to rise and a Government to
go down, we would like to have a little
more bread and another beef steak"
This, translated into French, brought
lorth, nrst, a stare OF a~stonIshment, then
the viands. The breakfast, with these
additions, was excellent. True, we missed
the light biscuits, the hot cakes, corn
bread, and the many substantial articles
of an American breakfast. How these
French manage to live On the shadowy
trihes here called food I cannot make
out; it is another mystery of Paris. I
am satisfied the want of substance is
working a degeneration. The French
xil never be free or capable of self
government until they suppress soups
and strengthen themselves on beef, corn
cakes, b~uckwheats, and abundance ofthe
best Vegetables.-Ertracts from Bell

The Slip.


tARrsrzSErus, an old Greek Poet. thus des-
the stratagem of a lady who wanted to
speak to her lover in the presence of her hus-
band and ~servants:l f83
A lady walking in the street,
Her lover lately CHANGED to meet;
But dared not speak when he came Nigh
Nor make assign, nor wink an eye
Lest watchful spouse should see or hear;
And servants, too, were in the rear
A plea she sought to stop his walk;
Totoueh his hand, to hear him talk;
A plea she sought, nor sought in vain;
A lucky scheme inspired her brain.
Just as they met, she feigned to trip,
And sprain her ankle in the slip.
The lover, ready at his cue,
Suspected what he had in view;
And as he passed at little distance,
Oficious ran to her as~sistanee:
Contrived her slender waist to seize,
And catch her snowy hand in his:
With unexpected rapture flId,
Through all their veins love instant thrilPd;
Their limbs were palsied with delight,
Which seemed the trembling caus'd by fright;
Feigning coincidence, he drew near,
And spoke his passion in her ear;
While she toact the real strain,
Affects to writhe and twist with pain;
Awell concerted plan to kiss
The hand her lover touched with his;
Then, looking ANONYMOUSLY sly,
She put it to her jetty eye,
But rubb'd in vain; to force a tear,
Night seem the genuine fruits of fear.

French PoIiteness.

French p~oliteness has become proven
bal. LIDO not think, however, the char.
acteristic aimed at is well understood,
or such a term would not be used. If
by ~politeness we mean good-heartedness,
that seeks others pleasure, it is sadly
misapPlied. 1t is the pride of one class
TO appear civil, we'll bred of the trades
men it is their interest to be almost SER
vile; but outside of these we encounter
the rudest beings on earth. A French
lady gives you a welcome, and you feel
that 1t IS from the lips, however choice
the phrase or impressive the manner.
You go to purchase an article, and the
shopman or shopwoman comes to you
with a manner that seems to saw, "Here
is a dear friend, what can I do for her?
There is the long-lost sister just return
ed from America-the beautiful sister
the sister not beloved but worshipped.
What can be done in this shop for this
good rela.ive2 Would it be pleasant to
take 1t aIl-would it be well to be moth
ing but a slave to this dear friend?"
Well, after a deal of talk-all on one
side, for you can scarcely get in a word
you purchase some article and take it
home to discover that you have been
cheated most ridiculOusly, paying for a
worthless thing. The proprietor of a
store into which I can look where 1 sit
is a fair specimen of this class. He is
a tall spare man, with black beard oiled
to the last extent. He has an eternal
simper-I will not call it smile-on his
countenance, while his back is made up
of hinges You have only to watch the
reception and cheating of a dozen to
realize your own ease.-Eztract from
