An Extravagant beauty.

The Empress of France is probably
the most e%Xtravagant woman living. Nor
is this all she has BEEN the cause of ruin.
Gus extravaganza in the families Of her
husbands subjects, and in all countries
where the costly fashions she has set have
found favor. M. Fould, the Emperor's
Minister of Finance, threatens to resign
his Office unless her enormous drafts upon
the treasury are curtailed.
So costly has she made the toilette in
Paris, that fashionable ladies are utterly
unable to settle their bills for dress; and
it is stated by the English press that it is
as much as many Of them can do to pay
the interest on the large debts which fol-
lowing the Imperial modes has caused
them TO incur.
The world owes crinoline to the fair
Eugene; and the rougher half of its civ
ilized population does not feel by any
IL Of means grateful to her for the
introduction of the article.
She has made her apartments in the
TuiIleries as magnificent as the palaces one
reads about in the Oriental fables. The
doors Of her boudoir are of ivory, inlaid
with gold. The furniture is of rosewood,
inlaid with mirrors, gold and ivory, and
is upholstered with pale red silk. Smyr-
Man carpeting of the heaviest texture
covers the floor, and the ceiling is splen-
didly frescoed. The desks and portfolios
are tortoise shell, arabesqued with gold
and the most valuable paintings Of the
old masters ornament the walls.
The beautiful woman who has surround.
ed herself with these luxuries spends an
almost fabulous amount annually in rare
laces and all the most expensive articles
of feu.-!e costume, besides subscribing
unheard of sums in aid Of vast political
schemes, for she is withal all intriguing
politician. The Empress is thirty six
years of a5e, aud therefore old enough to
have learned prudence; yet she is more
prodigaI now than when in the heyday Of
her youth and beauty.

, Great Wrong and a Great Mistake.

= SEcdt nfoHS duu 0ISoe
Snme ole has remarked recently, ard
very appropriately, that everything has
risen except the Gospel" The meaning
is very obvious. No one Can GO to line
market, or enter a store, or employ j
workman, from an engineer down t.
shoe black, without being absolutely
shocked at The enormous prices he is call
ed to pay. With the most rigid economy
aud s~elf:denial, a family requires two, or
tilree times ~ much for its support now,
AS in ordinary times. And yet if one
poor preacher has had a single dollar. ad-
led to his salary, he and his people are
too modest to tell of it On the other
hand, not a few churches have actually
AIT down their pastors salary, and still
more fail to pay the amount promised,
even in supplies at war prices Is this a
lauder? If not, then here is one of the
srandrst instances of arrong developed by
hese hard times. 1t is SD plain n case
hat one word Of argument would be an
insult even to u fool. But does any one
plead thu absolute necessity of retrench-
nent and economy in living? Where
did you begin? in the pantry? in the
wardrobe? or in the pulpit? What ex-
pensc did You l"p off first! There may
be cases in which persons have denied
themselves first, superalities, luxuries,
then comforts, and at last, have been
compelled to diminish their support to
the Gospel. But have MOI heard of
them. think that ministers ought to
take their full share of the lizard times
but think that people had fixed their
support at the minimum amount in times
OF low prices, and ought to remember
that any increase of prices or any dilninu-
ton of salary must result in actual want
or debt, and, if solne have to bear both
these changes, times are indeed hard with
them. call this q great mistake, as well
as a great wrong, because it is the sure
way to starve religion out Of the land
and to bring down the curse of God upon
the nation. His command is, take heed
to myself that thou f'rsake not the Levi,e
rs long rs thou Invest on the EARTH"
JUSTICE.

Scattering, and ret Increasing.

There is sound wisdom in'the riddle
put forth by good old Father Honest, in
John Bunyau's Pilgrim:
There wos a man Though some did count him
The most he cast away, the more he bad
And in the solution given by the hospita-
bic Gains:
He who ycston. his goods uror the poor
Shall ha. vs. much again, and ten times more.
The Lord is u sure paymaster, and has
given His word that to those that give it
shall be given, 6 good measure, pressed
down and shaken together and running
over" There are some facts which seem
to show that this is the case even where
persons do o give with an ey. to Gods
glory. :,

said a skeptical physician, who was ap.
piled to for a contribution to The Bible
Society.
You will lose nothing by it, even in
a worldly point of view," said the agent.

physician, 81 will try it for once" and
gave him twenty dollars.
The agent requested him to watch the
providence of God, and see if he was not
repaid double.
I" shall take care to do that" was the
emphatic answer.
Soon he was called on to attend a
wealthy old gentleman ina very critical
condition. When his bill was made GU.
- son of the man took him one side and
requested that, as his father was so feeble,
and his mind So set upon his money, he
would make out a small bill to present to
him, and he would make up the balance.
{" am willing to leave the bill to your
falher," he replied. What do you think
he would be willing to pay?"
well, he would not object to two hun
dred dollars" said the sol.
The physician took the money, and
when next he saw the agent he related the
incident, and told that the Lord had re-
paid him five field, as he should not have
thought of asking ove Die hundred dol.

Said a gay young planter, on being raj
lied by his companions for giving so much
for church purposes:

The old Lady and the cobbler.

Some years ago the husband Of an old
lady, residing in a country village, hap
pened to die very suddenly, without a
will, for the want of which very necessa-
ry ~precaution his estate would have pass
ed away from his widow had she not re-
sorted to the following remarkable expe-
dent to avert the loss of his property
She concealed the death of her husband
and prevailed upon an old cobbler, her
neighbor, to go t bed at her house, and
personate him, in which character it was
agreed that he should dictate a will, leav-
ing the widow the estate in question. An
attorney was accordingly sent for to pre-
pare the required document and the
widow or his arrival seemed to be reali.
ling the greatest affection at her good
uran's danger, but forthwith proceeded to
ask questions of her pretended husband,
calculated to elicit the answers she ex-
pected and desired.
The old cobbler, groaning aloud, and

II Intended to leave you half of my
estate and | think the poor shoemaker,
who lives over the way, is deserving OF
the other half, for he has always been q

The widow was thunderstruck at the
reply. 50 different from that which she had
expected, but dared not negative the old
cobbler's will for fear Of losing the whole
of the property while the cunning old
rogue in bed, who was himself the old

TITS Mind that Makes Mobility.
BY z. 7. HAABLIS.

In ancient times, when teudal state
Was all the untausht serf deemed. great
Whom tits wsre won when fair ones safe
Rebukius imbecil:ty-
When the stout arm was valued most,
And sturdy spirits power could boast
To rule 4 realm. or rout u host,
Might seemed to b.. mobility.
And when Of chivalry grown tired,
The world with love Of wealth. was fred
And brute strength in the arms expired
OF cunning and servility,
The patient plodder who could best
Resign his claim to pence and rest,
Got gold, or rank, and thus was blest
With what Looked like nobility.
But law!ess force has been laid low;
%ealrh's power must meet its overthrow;
And Reason, rousiug at the blow,
Slal., by her grand fertility,
Plan greatly for the poor mans good;
Prove humaukind a brotherhood,
Aud make it owned-fvlt-undcrstoud,
That blood hath no nobility.
Look up, then. thou who art oppressed
BY thuso whom fortune hath caresse1-
VIM ave thy bosom oft distressed
By SANDER and scurrility
Learn all thou canst; be Heaven adored;
Keep faith whate'er the fates afford
Erjoy, and truckle to no lord -
