 sare- Q Atlsst he played that splendid song. God bless the Emperor Francis F. All hats and caps flew of sheir heads, for the people loved their Emperor. The song finally came to an end. The hour was ended, and the nsu- sician handed back the violin to the old man
 Thank yeu,' said he. T. May God bless yous! and he disappeared in the crowd.
 Who is he Who ia her said the pso pie. 9' Where does he come from
 A certain person sitting in one of the coaches said, s .s,ass..s
 'Iknow him. It is Alexauaer Boucher
 the distinguished violilist It is just like him He saw theold man needed help. and he de. terminsd to help him in the best way h~ could. -sa as Fl ( S.t,,3
 The people gave three cheers for Bouche, and put more money in the old man hat.- When he went home that evening he was rich CT than be had ever been before. When be went to bed be folded h.nis a,d prayed God might bless good Boucher, 30 that when should get to be an old man he might have good friends. ,;..
 Now, l believe that there were two happy men that nipht in Vienna. Of course, the poor, old musician rejoicsd now th4t he was ont of want; bat of more value to him than all his money was the 'nsolstion that some body had proved friend to him. For it does us all good to know that we have friends. even though they are of DO farther adva nraee Co us. There was another who was happy and that was the good man Boucher. How could he go to bed that night without thank. ing God for putting it into his heart to be kind to the old, frieudlesss starving soldier?
 LOVE OF BEAurr K rns FRENCH. is quite certain that unless you go into the very haunts ot vice, where misery ia born and bred you will never sse any. of Paris. The boot black. from the peculiar nature of his occupation, appears to be on less familiar terms with soap and water than any other of the human family and in England aud Amer ica holds his rags and dirt as preroga- lives But the Paris boot-black, is always man he is always clad in uniform generally of blue plush, ard any lady might shake hands with him without gloves and without fear. his box is very large, and he carries a camp stool. which supercedss the necessity of balancing on ons leg during the process Of polishing. When asked what dss due them, Iuoy r"'.ssaoiy repIy wuar y0a, ,s.----4..ls ....a fee is absat five cents. but I tried one once with one cent piece, to see how much sim cerity there was iH his what you please. Of came his hat,-aown wont his bow,-and you might have supposed from his merci. monster that had given him 2 franc. The workmsn also have . uniform. or rather they all dress alike, with white pants and blue blouses Iu. stead of our poor tate, demal,ons, in luttering Tags of every hue. vests wrong side out, grand fathers coats on small boys, shocking and overgrown boots, one sees in tho French la. borsrs respectable and really picturesque company. think there must be some law against Tags, for the very bssaars wear the same white pants, and blue ffocks, cheap and coarse. but decent looking until utterly worn cut. The withsrsd women who self gimcraeks at street corners. and even the fat fshm ong CTS 1 the greasy stalls, look fresh and blooming as P ,ssibls In their stsrched white caps and clean c o.licoes. The very hsrrlngs seem graceful uoder their t,uch, though they had arms like A,naE ,ns. It was wonderful to see into what . garden the vegetable market could be trans formed, merely by the arrangement of carrots and cabbases. Workmsn, ashmongers, beg sars and all had flowers. It does not seem like, Teal life. You are constantly saying,
 this is theatrical this is like ideal stage life where everybody is romsntic' Is it possible that these are real men and women, or is it all dream that bewildets mey Then you walk through the garden of the Tuillsries again where hundreds of women have brought the,r knitting and their families to pass the day un . der the shade of the trees. There the rich and poor children play together, but there is no squabbiing. nor rolling in the dirt, no screams of delight or of fear. You cannot believe your ears whea you hear one small tot say to another, Ce nest pas gentil.' and ob- serve the instantaneous effect produced by those five words. = Correspondence Boston HrareUer. .......
