What you get in church, on Sundays,
as it were, the wool; on the morrow you
arc to spin the thread. 1t is not what
YOU do in church that makes Christian

who might dream of angels as Jacob did
and I suppose they do who sleep in

when they wake up, that is to decide it.

hundreds Of Parisians, eating, drinking,
smoking, and card-playing-on the Sab
bath. As walked along the Rue de
Riyoli and the Bouleyards, l saw in sever
al instances men with their mug Of ale, or
their bottle of wine on their table, upon
which they were playing cards. The
card players made no effort at conceal
ment, but chose a table where everybody
passing must necessarily see them-thus
showing they were conscious of no inpro-
priety whatever; and according to Paris
ian standards they were evidently guilty
Of none. Indeed, one of our party tells
me of a priest playing ball on tie Sabbath

Development is as necessary as moral and

Sunday nights are the harvest time Of
those who run dance houses and free and

amusements, he gets rcfreshments.-

common people spend their Sundays
evenings at these entertainments.

DISREGARD OF THE SAB
BATH IN PARIS.

There are few except those who have
visited France, who fully understand how
utterly the saccrednoss Of the Sabbath is
disregarded. 1t is no doubt one source
Of the general decentralization which per-
vades France, and the nearer we ap-
proach to France in that desecration uf
the Sabbath, the more nearer we approx
innate to its social corruptions. The OBJ
serving editor of the Rochester Union,
in Paris, thus jots down the impressions Of
a Sabbath-respecting American:
Everybody has heard and read about
a Paris Sabbath. Yet nobody, at least
no American, can ayitness Paris Sabbath
without saying to himself, "this is rather
different from whatI anticipated" With
hardly exceptions enough to be noted, the
stores, shops and places Of amusement
are all open. Parisians say that whole
sale establishments close on the Sabbath
But l know that the largest dry goods

day; and that the goods were exhibited
to customers as on other days. The doors
were wide open, and [ saw people at the
counters examining goods as if quite I'M
aware that there WAS such a thing as the
Christian Sabbath. The omnibuses were
all in active service; carts and drays were
going hitler and thither with their bur
dens; men were at work demolishing old
buildings; masons, stone-eutters, smiths
carpenters and all sorts Of mechanics were
plying their trades as usual; and except
ing at the innumerable cafes there was no
palpable evidence that there is i'll Paris
such an institution as the Sabbath.
But the cafes are more thronged than
on week days-a proof that some people
did intermit their usual labor Oh that day.

HARD TO BEAT.

The best TONG we have heard Of an
antiquarian is told of William f. Good
win of Concord, n. H., who is acknowl-
edged to be the greatest: antiquarian in
New England. Mr. G., in order to add
another valuable volume Of legal lore to
his already valuable library, is engaged
in hunting up copies of the celebrated
criminal trials that Lave taken pace in
the state Of New Hampshire. Observing
in catalogue of books issued by an old
and distinguished publishing house in :
New York, that copy Of trial he was
in search Of, was for sale, Mr. G. immod-
lately wrote to the firm requesting them
to forward it to him. By due course Of
mail he received letter informing him
that the copy of the trial he desired, had
been sold, but that they would procure
another copy for him, and that their bus
mess was so extensive both in ibis coun-
try and in Europe, that they coatdJMnish
IAN sOith copy Of any trial he might
desire. Mr G. having been placed in the
same position several times by attempting
to purchase catalogue books with tie
prices annexed, wrote back the following
short but pithy note:-
CoNcoRD, N. IT,, July 2, 1885,

"But, frierd Blueford," said she
81 think it my duty, as Christian, TO
warn you TO be on your guard, for l tell
you that your wife intends your ruin"
Old lIr. B. was very much astonished
yet he could not wholly discredit her
words. When he reached home he
threw himself upon a bed in great per-
plexity, and, feigning sleep, studied over
the matter in his mind. His wife, think
ing this a good opportunity for cutting off
the obnoxious hair, took her husbands ra-
zor and crept softly to his side. Now
the old lady was very much frightened
at holding razor SO close to her husbands
neck, and her hand was not so steady as
it once was; SO, between the two, she
went to work very awkwardly, and pull
ed the Eairs instead of cutting them off
Mr.. B. opened his eyes, and there stood
his wife with razor at his throat. At
ter what had been told him, and seeing
this, he could not doubt that she intend
ed to murder him. He sprang from the
bed in horror; and no explanation or
entreaty could convince him to the con
trary. So, from that time forth, there
was no more peace for that house, 1t
was jaw, jaw, quarrel and wrangling all
the time.
With delight the Devil heard of the
success Of the faithful emissary, and sent
her word ttat if she would meet him at
the end of the lawn, at a certain time, he
would pay her the shoes.
At the appointed time she repaired to
the spot and found the Devil at the place.
He put the shoes on the end Of long
pole, and, standing on''the opposite side
Of the fence, handed them over to her.
She was very much pleased with him;
they were exactly the article.
"But there is one thing, Mr.. Devil,
that would like to have explained
that is, why Fou hand them TO me on
tia. stick!"
"Vcryeasy to explain" replied he, "any
one who has the cunning and meanoss to
do as you have don't get nearer than
twenty feet Of me-" So saying he fed in
terror
After awhile the old woman died; and
when she applied for admittanco to the
lower regions the Devil would not let
her in, for fear she might dethrono him,
rs she was so much his superior. So the
the woman is yet compelled to wander
over the world, creating quarrels and
strife in peaceful families and neighbor-
hoods.
Would you know her name?
1t is Madam Scandal. When she died
her children, the young Scandalizers,
were left orphans; but the Devil, in con
sderation Of past service done by the
mother, adopted them; and SO, you see,
he is the father Of that respectable class
called scandal mougers.
