The Queen of Eng,and's Visit to Paris.

| The Queen OF lIagtanu's VISIT 10 Faris'
A correspondent of the Wachman and 0bser-
yer, writing from Paris. gives the following sketch
Of the late visit Of Queen Victoria to the French
metropolis:
The visit of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert
to his Imperial Majesty has kept all Paris for
some time on the gui rire. The streets through
which the cortege was to pass were unusually an
imaed on the day of the expected arrival Of tie
royal party. Almost every house had flags harg-
ing from the windOws-French, English aud
Turkish often on the same flagstaff, with Occa-
Slonally an American banner. Trlumphal arches
spanned the stIeets with words of welcome IN
scribed upon them. The crowd of visitors was
said 10 exceed any thing ever known before; ey-
cry thing foreshadowed some unusual event
and such, indeed, it was; for, not for more than
three hundred years had such an expression Of
amity been witnessed between the two nations
Windows on the line of the royal route through
the city were hired sometimes for 500, for tho
time of the passage s. was the lowest price for
those in the attic. | was fortunate enough to
have an American acquaintance who had rooms
on the Boulevard des Italiens, to whom was IN
debted for seat on his balcony. The cortege
was to pass through the finest part of Pars-Past
the Madeleine, through the Champs Elysees out
whole route was lined with soldiers on one side
in the city were hundred thousand Of the Ma
tonal Gnard, composed of Partisan citizens. ar
ranged in double line; on the other were hiiy
thousand Of the regular army in single hle.-
Without the city were the cavalry and other mil
iiary lines-a double wall the whole way to St.
Cloud About o'clock the signal guns were
heard, and fler half an hour, when it was grow
ing dark because the sun was less polite than Inc
Parisians and wonld not wait for their maJesiles,
the cavaIcade came in sight, and the crowd raised
their loud shouts. First came about twenty OH
GERS of high rank on horseback then the open car
riage Of state, drawn by four h0'ses, with sever
al outsiders: this contained Queen Victoria IN
the seat of honor, the Prircess Royal by her side,
Prince Albert opposite his consor and The Empe-
ror beside him. Their Majesties kept up an IN
cessant bowling, "like man saving MARBLE" as
Hood says. The Emperor bowed with less EN-
pressement; thereby showing that he recognised
the greeting as intended for his royal guests
Then followed the six maids of honor-beauiiiul
women of the Bonapare famiIy-ihe Prince OF
Wales, Prince Jerome, &c. The Empress Eu-
qenia was at St. Cloud to receive the company
1t was brilliant and novel sight, but not
the least interesting part of it was the closing TO-
gether of the living tide Of humanity after the
cayalcade had swept by Such sea OF human
faces had never seem
Ii is probable that many serious accidents oc-
Cured but such never appear in the newspapers.
The surveillance over the press is so thorough
that every handbill and advertisement must have
the Imperial stamp and sanction on it, by the Pre-
feet of Police

How TO BE HAPPY--I will give you two or
three good rules whcA may help you TO become
happier than you would be without knowing
them; but as to being completely happy, that you
can never be till you get to heaven.
The first is, "try your hest to make others hap
py" II never was happy" said certain king.
"till began to take pleasure in the welfare of
my people but ever since then, in the darkest
day, have had sunshine in my heart"
My second rule is, 'be content with little."-
There are many good reasons for this rule. We
deserve but little, we require but little, and "bet-
ter is little, with the fear Of God, than great lrea-
sures and trouble herewith" Two men were
determined to be rich, but they set about it in diff
ferent ways; but The one strOve 10 raise up his
means to his desires, while the other did his best
to bring down his desires to his means. The re-
suit was the one who coveted much was always
repining, while he who desired but little was al
ways contented.
My third rule is, "look on the sunny side Of
things.o

A Successful Trick.

/
A Young and skillul disciple of Robert Houdln
was some time ago travelling in the northern pro,
vinces of France, giving exhibitions In natural
magic, in company with young wag, now oirec-
tor of printing establishment in Paris. In their
wanderinos, they arrived at the town of R--more
renowned for its manufactures than for the nalu-
raj brlliancy of its inhabitants. Here the receipts
tor the magician were absolutely nothing, and des
pair reiqned in the hearts of our two adventures.
What was 10 be done 2
.By nv faith exclaimed the assistant magi-
clan. iii will never do to say that we did not make
our expenses! have it! Let me write poster
for one more entertainment and if the attraction
don't answer, call me no assistant for high priest
of dablerie. u
At the urgent request of the large and intelli-
Gent audiences of our former entertainments, we
have consented to perform the astounding feat of
making the cathedral bell ring any hour indicated
by any of the audience. To take. place this even
ing
There, how will that dog

Night came, and with it crowd of the curious.
All went off well, and now came the feature of
the evening. Any one was asked TO name num-
ber, Four!' came from the crowd.
in fear and trembling the mighty magician ex-
tended his hand towards the cathedral, when one!
two! three four doomed slowly from the cupola.
The cold perspiration started to the exhibitors
brow. and the audience shouted with delight and
surprise.
.Eneore! encore! responded from all parts of
the room Again! what was to be done? But
voice from behind the curtain said:
Go ahead old buy-it's all right!'
With sigh Of relief, the exhibitor repeated the
miracle again, and again, and the spectators de-
parted filled with enthusiasm
What in the name Of wonder have you been
doing 20 exclaimed the puzzled principal to his
laughing assistant, as soon as the doors were
closed.
why gave the bell ringer five francs to stay
in the belfry and ring as many times as | placed
candles in the window, and think it succeeded
pretty welI.' '.Nest Sc paS2 replied The other,
shaking the well filled cash box
The next day, as they were starting in the
cars, one of The city councillors came to them and
begged that they would explain the miracle.

with grand flourish of his hand, and the magis
