ROMANCE AT PARIs.-One of those romances
which may occur elsewhere than at Paris, but the
narration Of which is only there raised to an art
has lately been made known. wealthy gentleman
of Liverpool cent his to Paris for general i'm
prOVement and placed him under the fostering care
of a Yorkshire parson. The parson and his pupil
stopped at the Hotel du Louvre. In day or two the
clerical mentor found his green yonng Teemachus
bore, and great hindrance TO his private sports.
So he was accustomed TO send the youth to walk in
the Areades of the de Rivo while he himself en-
joyed life in his own way. The boy ct first inclin>
ed to rebel against this dull style of promenade,
soon began 10 develop very cheering fondness for
it, and the tutors heart gaddened thereby.
Things went this way very pleasantly for a time,
till by some means the parson was informed that
his young charge was about to contract matrino-
NAL alliance with young glOve-maker and vender
whose shop in the Arcades was the resort of the
young men about town, and who was remarkable
alike for her beauty and her shreWdness. The re-
port was but too true; the green young from
Liverpool, becoming enamored OF the fair vender
of gloves, had offered her marriage, and had CON-
mitied his offers 10 paper, with all the recklessness
Of hot youth. The iancee was perfectly ready to
give up her claim on her intended husbands hand
for %, 900 francs, and this she viii probably
receive. Meanwhile her shop is thronged with Gu.
riOus visitors, and her daily seles of gloves are
enormous.
