ECONOMY N FRANOE.

Americans have not the first notions Of
economy. They make money with little
trouble, and spendit without counting.-
In this it would be well if they took a
few lessons and iA-Europe they would
have examples ad infaitun if they ming
led with the people, but they learn no
more of the daily habits and interior life
of those among whom they travel than if
they staid at home. They learn to prac-
tice the follies and not the wisdom. Not
how they shall make money, but how
they shall contriye to live on what they
have, is the question with Europeans; !;
how, by hook and by crook they shall
make the ends Of the year meet; and they
have no false shame about exhibiting all
these hooks and crooks. If one takes a
house all of his acquaintance ask how
much he paid for it, how much income
he has, how much it cost him for dress,
food, and all the various necessaries of
life: and then they calculate to see IL he
can save anything. An American feels
insulted by one such question. If lady
buys dress, her friends demand how.
much it cost. They take the material in
their hands, rub it between their fingers,
pronounce upon its strength and fineness,
and whether it is good bargain. A
French lady is happy to give the most
minute information upon all the details of
her naendge, and would not be offended if
asked how much the dinner cost to which
she had invited you.
We know families In American cities
who do not think it possible to have agood
dinner for less than two dollars each per-
son; but we know families in Paris who
keep two OF three carriages, two coach
men, two Wallets, two cooks, and three
chambermaids, who allow only sixty cents
each person per dag for food, and live very
well. The chief cook is told how much he
may spend for the table, and no professed
cook takes place where he cant make
a good profit with the sum allowed him.
There are thousands of families in Paris
who live on salaries of four, six, and eight
hundred dollars year, who never spend
more than ten dollars a month on the ta-
bic. This will seem incredible, but we
have lived in such families and shared
their meals, which were sufficient and
good. Not a single item is provided until
the cost has been counted. But the most
important article with English and Amer
leans is never reckoned by the French peo-
pie. This is time. They turn and putter
all day in half bushel, while an Ameri-
can would prefer some hard labor that
would yield him more money, and save
him the necessity of such economy; and
fortunately he lives in a country where this
decision is at his choice. But here labor
is not free, and therefore money is not
plenty, and, what is worse, labor is not
honorable.-Paris Cor. Chicago Repu6-

A SENSATION NOVEL.

The following extract from a most de-

ONE OF THE, CHURCH mIL1TANr.

The following story is told on good au-
thority Of Peter Cartwright, the Metho-
dist pioneer in the Western prairies. He
believed in the use of the carnal weapons
of war, and when with rough. characters
would assert his mastery over them by
simple physical strength and daring.
One day onapproaching the ferry across
the Illinois, he heard the ferryman swear
ing terribly at the sermon of Peter Cart
wright, and threatened that if he ever had
to ferry him across, and knew him he
would drown him in the river. Peter llrl-
recognized, said to the ferryman:
stranger, l want you to put me
across"
"Wsit till I'm ready" said the ferry
man, and pursued his conversation and
structures of Peter Cartwright Having
finished he turned to Peter and said:
"Kow I'll put you across" tFIE & !
On reaching the middle of the; stream,
Peter threw his horses bride over stake
in the boat and told the ferryman to let
60 of his pole.
''What for?" asked the ferrynan.
"Wel, you have just been using my
name improper ike; and said if 1 came
this way you would drown me. Now you
have got chance" e.A8 -gseF'#
'1s your name Peter Cartwrightw w
asked the astonished ferryman. .-l.
"My name is Peter Cartwright"
Instantly the ferryman So:

strength, for he inste- know Feter S
man, one hand -..ntly seized the terry
and the ~ on the nap of his neck
and jUner on the seat of his trowsers,
plunged him into the water saying:
81 baptise you (splash) in the name of
the devil, whose child thou art "
Then lifting him up, Peter added;
'fDid you ever pray" |" as $50
"No."
'Then it is time you did"
"Never will" responded the ferryman.
Splash! Splash the ferrymanis in the
river again.
"WiIl you pray nowi'' asked Peter. 4
The gasping victim shouted:
'Pn do anything you bid me"
"Then follow me; Our Father which
art in heaven" DC. Having repeated af-
ter Peter, the ferryman cried out:
'Now let me GO"
"Not yet" said he, "you must make
three promises: First that you will re-
peat that prayer every morning and even
ing as long as you live; secondly, that you
will hear every preacher that comes with
in five miles of this ferry, and thirdly,
that you will put every Methodist preach
er over free of expense. Do you promise
and vow 7"
81 promise" said the ferrymau.
And strange to say the man became a
shining light.

three days ago by committee of work
ing-men of Chicago if he could not stop
over night and talk to them about the

whereupon George wrote the following
characteristic reply, which we commend
