"How to Make Ten Thousand Year"

Long years ago, when / was eighteen years
old, l was in the habit of going, in fine wes-
ther, to spend Sunday at Versailles, where my
mother lived.
1t was my custom to walk there and to re-
wards and forwards. On my way thither
was always sure to meet with beggar, who
passed his whole time ON the road, holding
out his hat TO every passer-by with the same
dismal cry
"Charity, sir charity, my good LADY,
One day, when was throwing my penny
into his hat, a well dressed man passed by, to
whom Antoine appealed in the usual manner
CHARITY, sir; charity"
The gentleman stopped, and eyeing the beg
gar, said:
:" You seem strong and able to work, my
friend why do you continue this wretched
mode of life l can show you how to MAXI

At this Antoine burst out laughing. i

BARGAINING on SUSDAr.-A Scotch paper
has the following account of the mode by
which business may be trasacted on Sunday,
and no harm done.
Long before there was any word Of disrup-
tion, and when the Church of Scotland was
deemed by those who have since seeded from
her communion as the glory of the whole
Garth, the following conversation ensued be-
between bis reverence, now in the Free Church
and one Of his hearers In a rural parish, on q
sunday forenoon, imediatoly after divine SER
vice:
"Wecl, John, there's fine day"
"It is that, Sir" was the reply
That's fine pony you've got, John"
No cannier or better behaved creature
IN the parish, saving yerself, Sir" replied
"Tf il had not been Sunday" said the
man of the Scripture, "I would have been in.
quiring the price of it !"
Deed, sir" replied the owner of the beast,
g if it hadna been Sunday, as ye san, would
hae said aught pounds
"Very weel, Sir. That's bonuy stack o.
hay We had i the yard-I wouldna be na waur
o puchle O. it, and if it hadna been the
day it Is would hae speered the price Of it,
too
think the more Of you for that, John, as
II Is just the way with myself, for had it not
been this hallowed day, I would have said
ninepence per stone L might likewise have
asked number Of questiOns-such as how
the market went yesterday in Arhroath, and
what are you asking for your Ayreshire bull
calf, and so on
Deed ay, Sir: but as we Gamma be tellin'
that wheat raised shillin', and ats fifteen
pence the quarter, on sic day as this, an il
would be just as i'll sayin' that the cafes
wirth thirty shillins till any body"
"Guid day, John
"Guid day, sir" was then passed. and thus
ended the above equivocal reverence for the
Sabbath, although the conversation ended to
the mutual satisfaction of both parties.
