A Paris Sunday.

years in the Old World afforded oppor.
tunity for accurate information. The
following extract will show wither we

Continental Sunday
A Paris Sunday has become proverbial
for its godlessness. Passing along its
clean and beautiful streets, you find the
cafes and restaurants crowded with men.
taking their morning meal and reading
the newspapers Of the day. Cries OF
fruit dealers and street vendors are every.
where heard-though the needless abom-
ination Of crying newspapers is not tole-
rated, even in Paris. Payiers, masons,
roofefs. painters-all kinds of mechanics
are engaged in their usual avocations.-
Places of business are universally open
till midday. as on otter days. The whirl
of cabs and omnibuses is even more con-
8 ant than during the six days of the
week. The grand water works at St.
CLOUD and Versailles play only on Sun
day. AS the day advances the gardens
of the Tuileries and the Champs Elysee
present a scene Of unriyalled gaiety and
folly. AS evening sets in, the outdoor
concert and drinking haunt their attrae
tions brilliant mirrors reflect the
f~anciful gas jets ; singing men and sing
ing women, accompanied by orchestras
below, amuse the multitude with comic,
and sometimes, immoral songs. Every
conceivable device. for drawing the peo-
pie away from home and God, is en-
plOYed.

mother, your creed and profession, your
popular aims given, your daily diversions
and pleasures-perbaps very little of

mostly the garments of others, which will

Rich Joke.

In one OF the numerous counties OF
Georgia, not long since, a medical prae-
titioner-not graduate-sued one OF his
patrons for what be owed him, in a JUS
tees Court. A limb of the law, suited
to the locality and the client, undertook
the defence, and contested the claims on
the ground of the disciple of Esculapius
not being a regular graduate. Our
friend the Doctor felt nonpu'sed. All
his rides, his valuable time-and doses
of physic-seemed to have been bestowed
for naught. But patience and persever-
ance oyercame all things, and necessity
is the mother Of invention. The day Of
trial arrived. With an air of triumph,
the defendants lawyer paraded his an
thorities and made a crushing argument
utterly demolishing the poor NJ. D., as
he thought. When he had concluded,
the Doctor approached the Justice, and
depositing what he claimed to be his di.
ploma. with a respectful bow, retired
to his seat. The lawyer looked at the
formidable document; scrntinized it for
several minutes, while big drops Of sweat
rolled down his face. Unableaao dispute
his authority or find a flaw, he handed it
in despair to the Justices. These gentle
men looked at the mysterious characters
and turned the sheet in every position
After having examined it to their salts
faction, and privately consulted over the
case they decided in favor of the plaintiff.
The friendly paper was a circular in ref
renee to job David's Plaster printed in
Dutch language.

some beer for his father, who had spent
all his money for strong drink. Give
