RENTS rs PARIS ASp IN Ngw YoeK.-One
OF our Paris correspondents mentions, in a
letter which we published yesterday the fact
that the exorbitant prices for rent occasoned
by the "Haussmanuzing" Of the French CAPT
tai and by the immense inaux of foreign Wis
itors during the great Exposition are at length
beginning TO diminish. SO many eliGces have
been erected, says our correspondent, 80 many
pelatial houses built, that Paris landlords are
lowering their charges for fifth and sixth story
flats. No less than nine thousand locations
have remained vacant since last year on sc-
count OF their cgregious prelensions and gro :
tesquc prices for rent. The mum Der OF lodp-
inss which still remain vacant in New York
since the fatal LIST of May is relatively as
large, and we are glad to learn tha, New York
landlords are beginning to follow the example
Of Paris landlords. Not even the cxtraordi-
nary annual Increase Of our city population can
justify the prices for rent which certain land !.
lords seem disposed TO exact.

A CURIOUS MARRIAGE.-"A bride
groom up the linden tree" il the heading
of curious marriage story which really
occurred few weeks ago in little village
pleasantly situated on the banks Of the
Rhine. A certain landowner of the vii
lage had daughter who was courted by
n neighboring swain; and after the latter
had got the promise of the old gentleman.
his future f,ther-in-law, to make over the
homestead to himself. the marriage day
was fixed. The day was Sunday, and the
guests had assembled from far and wide.
They had already begun to make the
marriage procession when suddenly the
bridegroom was found to have disappear
ed. and in spite of all the searching in the
yard, in the barn, stable, and in the
neighboring houses, not the least trace Of
him could be found. The bride wept Bit
terly at her lovers deception, and every
body heaped abuse upon the missing one.
Finally one of the searchers was success
full in discovering the bridegroom in the
thickly-leafed summit Of large linden
tree which stood at the hack Of the house.
All the guests then ran to look at him;
some began to abuse him for making such
n spectacle mt that critical moment, while
the parish pastor addressed some pretty
sharp words about his conduct. The
young man. however, did not seem in
clined to come down and fulfill his en-
gagement, but began to explain. from
where he was perched. what was the mat
He said that his intended father-in-law
had promised faithfully before the be-
trothal to transfer his land to him (tbe
bridegroom), but the promise had been
staved OF from day to day, and ut the
time of speaking II was not fulfilled. He
would therefore. not enter the portal of
the church until the old gentleman had
done his duty. And in spite Of all pro-
testation by the guests and the old man,
the village schoolmaster had Mt last to be
sent for to make out the contract; and
only after this was signed, sealed and de-
livered did the delinquent descend from
the linden tree and take his sobbing bride
to church.

"Only a Shop Girl"

The other day heard these words used
by n lady friend while speaking Of an ac-
quaintancc, an cstimable young lady, who
was not ashamed Of the fact that she earned
her living on shoe machine. The tone
used by the lady referred to seemed to
convey the impression that the young girl
in question was really injured by being
.'only a shop girl" Now I know great
many people who have just such erroneous
impressions, who really feel that If n girl
works for living she Is little below par
in gcntecl society; but itseems To me that
those people who earn their own subsist-
ence are the only independent ones about
us. 1t is no degradation to either man or
woman to be honorably employed; ON the
other hand. always feel respect for n
young girl who thus takes her fortune into
her own hands and quietly works for a
living. know Of many girls who have
good homes. who are free to live Mt home
without work. but who prefer to work In
n shop TO idlcncss Mt home. Such girlsarc
surely no less worthy Of regard. ad-
mire their energy. and say one such Is
worth dozen Of your lazy milk-and-water
affairs. who idle away the hours Of life, too
lazy to work, and too proud TO appreciate
tho beauty Of independent labor. Dontbe

the impression that .'shop girl" Is really
n little above those girls who, for fear Of
being obliged to work. win be found liv-
ing upon the hard earnings Of parents who
can III afford the burden. but who. with a
singular mixture Of pride and poverty,

Cur TINS Our AND KEEP IT.-Franklin
Dyre. n highly respectable and intelligent
farmer Of Gslena, Kent county, Maryland,
gives the following rs sure cure for the
bite of u mad dog. AS win be seen, he
has tested it with gratifying results:-
"Elecampane is plant well known to
most persons, and tmay be found in many
of our gardens. Immediately after being
bitten take one and half ounces of the
root Of the plant-thc green root is pref
crable, but the dried will answer. and
may be found in our drug stors, and was
used by me-slice or bruise, put 1t into a
pint OF fresh mill. boil down To half pint,
strain. and when cold drink, fasting Mt least
six hours, afterward. The next morning.
fasting, repeat the dose. prepared as the
last. and this viii be sufficient. 1tisrccom-
mended that amer each dose nothing be
eaten for Mt least six hours.
/ have son whowas bitten by n mad
dog eighteen years ago. and four other
children in the nelghborhood were also
bitten; they took the above dose, and are
alive and well to this day. And have
known n number of others who were bit
ten and applied the same remedy.
1t is supposed that the root contains a
principle which. being taken up by the
blood in its circulation, countcracts or neu-
tralizes the deadly effects Of the virus of
hydrophobia.
I feel 50 much confidence in this simple
remedy that I am willing you should give
my name in connection with this state

Back nom tho misty realms Of time,
Back nom the years agone,
Faintly We catch the ringing rhyme,
And hear the melody and chino
OF golden songs, of strains sublime,
Like the carol Of birds at dawn.
And ever We hear them soft and low,
IIarping their music sweet,
Songs that we loved In the long ago,
Ripping their liquid ebb and iOw,
Drifting their cadence 10 and mo,
Like the fall OF Airy feet.
Some faces our heart will ever hold,
Some smiles We may remember yet,
There were lowing locks like the sunsets gold
There were parted lips Of cupId's mold,
And the songs they sang can no'er grow old,
For our hearts can ne'or forget.
An, well-a-day, IT'S a story past,
which may not tell again,
Twas q happiness too sweet 10 last;
The heavy elods on her grave are cast,
And her voice Is still, and above her, hst

Good Rules to Remember.

Loose ideas on the subject Of business
will not answer. 1t must be reduced to
something Of science. To embark in
business without this preparatory know
ledge, is to set sail without port and
without an acquaintance with navigation,
circumstances that insure shipwreck.
Be neither lavish nor niggardly; Of the
two. avoid the latter. A mean man Is
universally despiscd. but public fame is a
stcpping-stone to prcferment, therefore
generous feelings should be cultivated.
Remember that self.intercst Is more like
ly to warp your judgment than all other
circumstances combined; therefore look
well to your duty when your interest is
concerned.
The world estimates men by their sue
cess In life, and by general consent success
isevidcnce of superiority of certain kind.
Never. under any circumstances, assume
responsibility you can avoid consistently
with your duty to yourself and others.
Base all your actions upon q principle Of
right. preserve your integrity Of character,
and, doing this, never reckon the cost.
Let your expenses be such as to leave a
balance in your pocket. Ready money Is
friend in need.
wine-drinking and smoking are bad
habits. They impair the mind and pocket.
and lead 10 n waste OF time.
Education pays an annual income for
life without expense for insurance, repairs,
or taxes.
Never relate your misfortunes, and nev-
er gricvc over what you cannot prevent.
Never make money at the expense OF
your reputation.
