the blouse usually I'm by the working
classes. Such q regulation exists in the
best Of those establishments Of Paris, but
as Democratic ideas usually prevail ut Mar
settles, and the workmen are generally in
easy circumstances, the rule could never be

and the authorities had to interfere to pre-

popular REGULATE
OCCUPATION what gloriocs thing il il
for human heart. Those who work hard
seldom yield themselves entirely up to fan
cied or real sorrow. When grief sits down,
folds its hands, and mcurnfully feeds upca
its own tears, weaving the dim shadow that
q little exertion might sweep away into a
funeral pail, the strong spirit is shorn Of its
might, and sorrow becomes our master.
When troubles flow upon you, dark and
heavy, toll not with the waves-wrestle not
with the torrent-rather seek by occupation
to divert the dark waters that threaten to
Overwhclm you into thousand channels
which the duties OF life always present. Be-
fore you dream of it, those waters will fer
tilixe the present, and give birth to fresh
flowers that they may brighten the future
flowers that will become pure and holy, in
the sunshine which penetrates to the path of
duty. Grief, after ali, is but a selfish feel
ing; and most selfish is he who Yields him
self to the indulgence of any passion that
brings no joy to his fellOwmen.
PARIS PRICRs.--A Paris correspondent
writes: I" We can buy in Paris a good sum
mer silk for six francs yard, 81. 20 Black
silks, which at home are $3.50 yard, are
here Sl.90. French cambrics, for which we
paw IS cents, are here 80 cents. Kid gloves,
for which we pay 81, are so cents in Paris,
and at Naples 20 to30 cents; $3.50 gloves with
US are here 81 pair. SIX months ago in
America coarse flannel was so or rs cents a
yard, here it is Is or 20. Lace-edging, for
which q friend paid 80 cents last month at
Mudge's, in Beston, | patterned here for a
Ii cents. Labin's soap, for which | paid
Harris 4 Chapman SIPS, found in Genoa
for 80 cents, and am tod it is less in Paris.
Lubin's extracts, for which our druggists
charge $3.50 or $l.25, or here 25 cents A
point lace collar and cuffs, which we at home
pay $25, are here $l2. A lace shawl for
which we pay $400, is in Paris $500, and at
Brussels, where it is made, $3.50. Black
trimming lace Of narrow width, for which
we pay rs cents, is here 80 srnts. As for
bonnets, which, with my last American ex-
perience, were at fabulous prices, such as
from 800 to $50, the ordinary price Of a
handsome one in Paris is 50, often only "a,
with fine French flowers. Those with blonde
lace trimmings are So or s., and the most
exorbitant milliners charge $i4 to $l8.
Yet ribbons are, from some unknown rea-
son, as expensive in Paris as in America.
So are boots and shoes, provisions; rents,
and few other things. Under garments of
all kinds can be bought here ready made
and deliberately trimmed, for what the mere
cotton goods cost at home.
