THE ORLEANS FAMILY FRANCE

THE ORLEANS FAMILY IN FRANcE.-
The favors the Orleans family are enjoy
ing, says Paris correspondent, form one
of the significant signs of the times.
Many Of the most eminent men of the
French empire are staunch supporters
of the family, and it is generally believed
that NJ M. Jul IS Favre, jules Simon,
Ernest Picard and others will strenuously
exert themselves to secure their ultimate
restoration. 1t is said that the En.
peror breads the family with sort of
phojia. NJ. Dcnuncques has presented a
second petition to the Senate, praying a
repeal of the laws which exile the houses
of Bourbon and Orleans, and while it is
deemed certain TINT the petition will be
rejected, it is believed that it will help
! the feeling in favor Of the latter. This
feeling has been strikingly manifested
on the occasion of the funeral of the
Duchess u Aumaie, in England, when
hundreds Of Frenchmen crossed the chan.
mel to attend it and again at tie cele.
bration of the mass in ST Ferdinand &
Chapel, at Neuilly, which Was attended
by 1000 persons. Quite as imposing
demonstration is also anticipated al
Chantilly, where still another funeral
service il to be celebrated.

BEHIND TDlE-As Mr.. Hardiff was 60
ing through the Athenaum, during some
exhibition, he was attracted by beautiful
picture of the Crucifxion, and was much
struck by it, inquiring of his companion the
story of it, about which he had never heard
He was much incensed thereat, and treasu-
red it in his mind.
Going through North street, next day,
where the twelve tribes do congregate, he
was button -holed and held by member of
them, who importuned him to come and
buy something"
What are you p said Hardriff; "are
you Jcw?"
Il am an Ishraelite," was the reply.
Then take that" giving him at the same
time rap on the nose.
''Vot yoa do that for p said Moses, rub

HOLD On. Hold on to your tongue
when you are just ready to swear, lie, or
speak harshly, or use an improper word.
Hold on to your hand when you are about
to strike, pinch, steal, or do aay improper
act.
Hold on to your temper when you are an
cry, excited, or imposed upon, or others
angry about you.
Hold on to your heart when evil associates
seek your company, and invite you to join
in their mirth and revelry.
Hold on to your name at all times, for it
is of more value to you than gold, high pla-
ces or fashionable attire.
Hold on to the truth. for it will serve you
well, and do you good throughout eternity.
Hold on to your virtue-it is above all
price to you in all times and places.
Hold on to your character, for it is and
ever will be yonr best wealth.

No blister draws sharper than interest
does. OF all industries, none is comparable
to that of interest 1t works all day and
night, in fair weather or foul. 1t has no
sound in its footstep, but it travels fast. II
gnaws at mans substance with invisible
teeth. 1t binds industry with its film, as a
fly is bound in a spiders web. Debts roll a
man over and over binding him hand and
foot, and letting him hang upon the fatal
mesh until the long legged interest devours
him. There is but one thing on the farm
like il and that is the Canada thistle,
which swarm. new plants every time you
break its roots, whose blossoms are prolific
and every flower the father of million
seeds Every leaf is an awl, every branch
a spear, and every plant like a platoon Of
bayonets, and a field of them like an armed
host The whole planes i, a torment and a
vegetable curse. And yet farmer had
better make his bed of Canada thistles
than attempt to be at ease upon interest.
