Pleasing Miscellany.
An Old Proverb illustrated.


This anecdote illustrates the proverb, tina
no man is prophet in his own country;
"It was a lovely spring morning in the yeal ga
1S43, when little bridal party entereu tne
Office of the 'maire' Of parish In the elyi u. I
rons ofParis, in order to subscribe there Ihe
marriage con ract of the you,g ooupo. .
Small, however as the party was, IL w"e ~ no'
the less select. The bridegroom was taieh-
tad ,o,,ne, artist who nowadays enjoys a
sionaI r,.nutatior,. and his marriage witnesses
u1era named Inores and Paul Delaroche, two
,,,astars of the French school OF art. The
80, bride had chosen as her witnesses two
trr;en3s Of her deceased father, by name Vic
tnr Hnqo and Alexander Dumas. After the
oficial had written down with the utmost
narricularity the sIrnames, Christian names
and station in life of the bridal pair, he passed
TO the Witnesses, and turned first to Victor
Hugo, with the question as to his name.
"Hugo?' he repeated, in doubt. How is
that written? Is there at the end?
'sThe author dictated the name letter by
letter. Then with heightened dignity, The
man of authority proceeded with the SECOND
-ques tion,-
"'What trade do you follow%
(" None at alp rejoined Victor Hugo, laugh
ing.
What! no trade at all? But at any rate
you can write, so that you can subscribe YOU
name here? A9 'tat
"To this Hugo assented with great equa
nimity, and then came the other witnesses
When Ingres and Delaroche answered that
they were "painters,' the functionary eyed
them over his spectacles with a very super
clious air, and said: loit
"'House or sign painters?
"The merriment ofthe whole party irritated
him greatly, and he erowled out something
about 'disrespectful BEHAVIOR while Ingres
answered him: u.s q fG@
"'Write down simply painters.
Alexander Dumas, however, came of with
flying colOrs, for he announced that he was
gentleman (rentier), which raised him far
above his companions in the estimation of
the official, who from that time forth vouch-
sated to address or pay attention to him alone.
These men were then in the zenith of their
fame, and yet, well known and honored as
they were throughout the civilized world
within stones throw Of the gates of Pars,
their names were unrecognized and unrespect-
