The Paris papers are circulating droll
story about a handsome man fifty years OF
age, bat we'll preserved, and with only one
inlirmity-he had a glass eye. 1t was
misfortune; but things are SO well man
aged nowadays that no one noticed it.
One evening, having no other engage
ment, he accepted an invitation to recep
ton at Madame Saint IdIefonse de Piero-
yeeyii's. He went to the ball, passed
charming evening, and devoted himself ex-
clusively to a@ beautiful young blonde
who attracted the attention of the company.
! lie fell so in love with the young lady at
| first sight that he made her an offer on the
spot After few moments of reflection
and some prelimiuaries relating to the con
| tract, the marriage was arranged and eeie-
| brated in due time.
When he entered the nuptial chamber he
extinguished the light. A glass of water
was on the table by the bedside; he drop
ped his eye into it. The next morning, as
soon as it was light, our handsome bridge
| groom reached forth his arm, seized the
| cherished orb and replaced it in its orbit.
As soon az he was dressed he went to see a
friend in town. On seeing him this friend
gave cry Of surprise.
perhaps you find me changed,a sai6
our friend, IL is my happiness. 1hlhk Oh
it, my friend. / am married to the most
delicious blonde-such hair! such eyese
Blue eyes?'
"Of course, as she is blonde, If You
could only see her eyes"
Il see one of them now; and if your
memory fails you, you have only to look
in the glass to see her eye before youg =
The bridegroom trembled. He rushed
to the mirror. 0 horrors His right eye
was black and fall of FIRE, but his left was
blue, languishing, aud tender. La the
glass of water there were TIVE eyes, bu {
| they did not belong to the same person.
The newly married couple separated with-
out villifyihg each other, but not without
| ehauUing ewes.
