unexpected and unique that for moment
it was difficult to realize that here we're at
least ten thousand human beings who
were deliberately bvouacking in the
streets of the most beautiful and luxuri-
GUS capital in Europe for the sole object
of being the first to receive some bread
and cheese in the morning. The queue
extended probably half mile. The ex-
treme end, composed Of the last arrivals,
was still standing in close and serried
ranks, as if they were awaiting an event
which was Immediately to come off. The
row was four or five deep. Every woman
had her ticket, and most of them bas-
ket, and they were laughing and chat
ting merrily, although they had already
been standing in the same spot several
hours. l asked one of them when she
expected to arrive at the door of the
warehouse where she would receive her
portion. 1.-THE day after tomorrow
morning, monsieur" she replied, as
calmly as if she was talking of a journey
to st. Petersburg. What are you pre-
pared to pass two successive nights in
the streets?" / asked. Pourquoi pas"
she said; "all the others do it. Do
you think that what you receive at last
will be worth waiting for for forty-eight

ALnve sieI1 PRINCE.

Some scraps Of letters of James How
ell, toady courtier, who helped to ar
range a match between Prince Charles
of England and the Infanta of Spain,
are full of interest. The gossipping old
fellow says:
There are comedians once a week come
to the palace, where under a great can
opy the Queen and the Infanta sit in the
middle, our Prince and Don Carlos on
the Queens right hand, the King and the
little cardinal ON the 'lnfanta's left hand.
| have seen the Prince have his eyes
immovably fixed on the Infanta half an
hour together in a thoughtful, speculative
posture, which sure would needs be te-
dious, unless affection did swecten it; it
was no handsome comparison of Oil
wares that he watched her as cat doth
n mouse. Not long since the Prince,
understanding that the Infanta was used
to 90 some mornings to the Casa de
Campo, a summer-house the King hath
the other side of the river, TO gather
maydew, he did rise betimes and went
thither, taking your brother with him.
They were let into the house and into the
garden, but the lnfanta was in the or
chard; and, there being high partition
wall between, and the door being doubly
bolted, the Prince got on the top of the
wall and sprung a great hight, and so
made toward her; but she spying him
first of all the rest, gave shrek and ran
back. The old Marquis that was then
her guardian came toward the Prince
and fell on his knees, conjuring his high
ness to retire, in regard he hazarded his
head if he admitted any TO her company;
so the door was opened, and he came
under that wall over which he had got
in. have seen him watch long hour
together in a close coach in the open
street to see her as she went abroad. /
cannot say that the Prince did ever talk
with her privately. yet publicly often, my
Lord of Bristol being interpreter; but
the King always sat hard by to overhear
all. Our cousin Archy hath more priyi-
lege than any, for he often goes with his
fools coat where the Infanta is, with her
Meninas and ladies of honor, and keeps
a blowing and clustering among them,
and hirts out what he list.

waiting for Bread.

A correspondent of the London Times,
in Paris, describes an extraordinary
scene Of which he was witness: had
heard on the occasion of my previous
visit to the Rue des Pets Peres the scene
of Mr.. Moore's distribution, that the APP
plicants took up their position over night
in queue, so as to be among the first
served in the morning, and, determined
to verify the fact, / accompanied Colonel
Stuart Wortley at midnight to the local
ity in question. Passing through the
streets, still dark and silent in Paris at
this hour, we reached the Bourse, and
already the hum, one might almost say
the subdued roar, Of thousands of voices
struck the ear. In moment we came
upon the outskirts Of what was appa-
rently a mighty crowd, though it was too
dark to see much until we found our
selves actually in the midst Of a dense
mass of women and children, heaped
upon one another in amicable confusion,
and extending down the street as far as
the eye could penetrate its gloom. Not
that It was altogether dark, for numbers
Of candles fitted through the crowd or
formed the center Of groups Of squat
ting or doing figures. The scene was so

Moral Clutches.

Nothing amuses me more than TO see
people trying" to read books in which
they take not the slightest interest
Perhaps some friend has liked the book,
or it is the fashion to read it, or one
don't like to own one hasn't read it, or
from any other equally foolish reason
for a yawning persistence in trying
used to do so once, but I've got bravely
over any amount of eyebrow elevation
which results from my frankly saying,
that saw nothing in such and such a
book, or that it was not one of my books,
or that it was too finely spun for my al
ready bewildered head, or that | felt no
interest in the subject treated of, and
probably never should.
Why, / would like to know, should
people try" to read books that they
don't like any more than to eat certain
kinds of food, which, though good for
others, are to them unpalatable? And
why should they not, if pressed to par
take, say as frankly in one case as in
the other, / didn't relish it, or it is too
light or too heavy for my mental
stomach2 Nor do | see why people
should feel either afraid or ashamed, as
they seem TO do, TO differ from others
with regard to a popular author, or a
very much admired picture or statue; or
even TO say, with regard TO these last, |
am really no judge of these things in
the way Of art. | can only say that
some have a story to tell me, and some
of them are to me dumb and silent In
the latter case it may be my fault; and
though it be rank heresy to say so, it
may just possibly be the artists; but
meantime, l cant force liking at the
bidding Of any cOnRoisseur, selfelected
or the contrary.
Now, isn't that better than to clasp
your hands in rapture to order, or frown
depreciatingly because others do2 /
think so, even though they who do both
accuse you Of "eccentricity" or "od-
dity in consequence.
Besides, one may even do a worse
thing than 10 be "odd." One may be

Josh RilIlnrs ON Whis.Iing.

| | hav spent great deal of sarching
and sum of money tew find out who waz

whissling waz an infant IL az hard for
me tew say az mi prayers in 10 dutch.
Whisslng IL a wind instrument and iz

ing through the hole.
If had boy who couldn't whissell, i
don't want it tew be understood that i
should feel at liberty tew give the boy up
for lost; but would much rather he
would know how tew whissel fust rate
than to kno how tew play a seckond rate

whissell agin his natral inclinashun.
Wimmen. az kind, or in the lump,
are poor whsslers. / don't kno how i
found this out, but am glad ov it; it IL
a good deal like growing in hen.
Growing is an unlady-like thing in a
hen tew do.
hav often heard hens tri tew cro but
i never knu one tew do herself justiss.
A rooster kan kro well, and hen kan
kluck well, and so let each one of them
stick tew their trade.
Klucking IL just az necessary in this
world NJ Growing, especially if it IL well
DID.
But want it we'll understood that am
the last man on reckord who would re-
fuse a woman a chance tew whissell il
waz certain she had the right pucker
for it.
/ never knu a good whistler but what
had a good constitushun.
Whissling IL composed of pucker and
wind, and these two accomplishments
denote vigor.
Some people alwus whissell WHARF there
is danger. This they do tew keep the
fraid out ov them. When waz a boy
always considered whissling the next
best thing tew kandle to go down cellar
with in the mite time,
The best whisslers have ever heard
have bin amung the negroes ii make this
remark with the highest respekt to the
accomplishments ov the whites | have
heard South Caroliny darkey whissel
so natral that mocking bird would drop
worm out ov his bill tew talk back.
/ don't want emmy better evidence ov
the general honesty thare IL in a whssel
than the fackt that thare ain t nothing
which dog will answer quicker than
the whissel ov his master, and dogs are
az good judges ov honesty az emmy krit-
ter that lives.
1t iz hard work tew phool a dog once,
and it il next tew impossible tew phool
him the second time.
| aint afraid tew trust emmy man for n
small amount who IL a good whistler.
/ wouldn't want tew sell him a farm
on credit, for | should expekt to have
tew take the farm back after while and
remove the mortgage myself.
You can't whissell mortgage oph
from farm.
A fust-rate whistler IL like a middling-
size fiddler, good for nothing else, and
the whissling may keep man from
getting lonesum-it won't keep him from
getting ragged.

A Ghost story.

Lord Brougham tells a ghost story
with touch of the ludicrous:
"On all such subjects my father was
very skeptical. He was fond Of telling
story in which he had been an actor,
and, as he used to say, in which his un-
believing obstinacy had been the means
of demolishing what would have made n
very pretty ghost story. BE had been
dining in Deans Yard, Westminster,
with party of young men, one of whom
was his intimate friend Mr.. Calmel.
There was some talk about the death of
Mrs. Nightingale, who had recently
died under some melancholy circum-
stances, and had been buried in the Abb
bey. Some one offered to bet that no
one of those present wOuldgo down into
the grave and drive nail into the coi-
fin. Calmel accepted the wager, only
stipulating that he might have lantern.
He was accordingly led into the cathe-
dral by u door out of the cloisters, and
there left to himself. The dinner-party,
after waiting an hour or more for Cal
mel, began to think something must
haye happened to him, and that
he Fought to be looked after; so
my father and two or three more
got light and went to the
grave, at the bottom of which lay the
apparently dead body Of Mr.. Calmel.
He was quickly transported to the pre-
bends diningroom, and recovered out
of his fainting fit. AS soon as he could
find his tongue, he said Well, have
won my wager, and you'll find the nail
in the coffin; but, by Jovel the lady rose
up, laid hold of me, and pulled me down
before could scramble out of the grave.
Calmel stuck 10 his story, in spite Of all
the scoffing Of his friends; and the ghost
of Mrs. Nightingale would have been all
over the town but for my father obstin-
ate incredibly. Nothing would satisfy
him but an ocular inspection Of the
grave and coffin; and so, getting light,
he and some of the party returned to
the grave. There, sure enough, was the
nail, well driven into the coffin; but
hard fixed by it was bit OF Mr., Calmels S
coat-taill SO there was an end Of Mrs.
Nightingale's ghost. This grave after
ward became remarkable for q very

ebrated artist, representing Mr.. Nightin7-

So say the brave too. but not so the craven.
Misfortunes may come when least we expect

Evils be ours even when we'd reject them;
Our wealth may take wings and to Others may

word
And boldly maintained, too. by heroes that

And so, in the conflict and surges and strife
That oft may assail as we pass on in life.
May each of us throw from our heart to our lip

Hold on-never fail -wc will conquer at
last!"

As thousands in contest sank down in deaths

But the conquerors' hearts throbbed exulting

So never say die in the battle of life,
As long as stern duty bids you on to the strife; ;
Nor give up the ship. howe er she be battered,
While plank there is left unshivered. un-

And then, with bold faith, as life's sky is o'or-

.Exuberant Health

SGxOOeEanC ACaAtA
Is a blessing vouchsafed to few. Even those
who have been favored by nature with strong
constitutions and vigorous frames are apt to
neglect the precautions necessary to preserve
these precious endowments: Indeed, as q rule,
the more healthy and robust a man is, the more
liberties he is inclined to take with his own
physique. It is some consolation to the natu-
rally weak and feeble to know that they can
be SO invigorated and built up, by proper use
of the means which science has placed at their
disposal. as to have much better chance Of
long life, and exemptions from disease and
pain, than the most athletic of their fellows
who are foolish enough to suppose themselves
invulnerable, and act accordingly.
It is not too much to say that more than hall
the people of the civilized world need an occa-
sioilal tonic, to enable them to support the
strain upon their bodies and minds, which the
fast life of this restless age occasions In fact,
q pure, wholesome unexciting tonic is the
grand desideratum of the busy millions, and
thew have the article in Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. 1t is staminal medicine, j. e. it inn
parts permanent strength to weak systems and
invigorates delicate constitutions. Its reputa-
ton and its sales have steadily increased
Competitive preparations have been introduced
ad Hbitum, and, as far as the public is concern
ed, ad nauseum, in the hope OF rivaling it; bu,
they have all either persisted in the attempt, OF
been left far in the rear. 1t has been the great
medical success of the present century, and il
is quite certain that no proprietary medicine in
this country is as widely known, or as gener-
ally used.
Ten lightning presses, running necessarily
Sundays excepted, the whole year through,
barely supply the demand for the illustrated
Almanac, in which the nature and uses of the
preparation are set forth, the circulation now
being over eight millions year.

OBITUARY.

Died, on September 18th, 1871, at. "Cedar
Grove" Charles county, Md /, Mrs. MARY
SANDERS, wife of JOSEPH E. SANDERS, aged
48 years.
Death has visited a happy household, now
sad and mourning, and taken from it loving
wife and affectionate mother. She was good,
amiable, kind and gentle, and loved by those
who knew her unostentatious virtues, and those
who knew her best loved her most. Content
ed wherever her lot was cast, she discharged
her domestic duties faithfully and cheerfully.
Kind, affectionate and cheerful-she made home
happy. 1t was truly happy family-dutiful
children, loving brothers and sisters, and
kind parents; though they had some of this
worlds troubles and trials, they bore them pa
tiently and humbly. loving wife and afec-
tionate mother-she sought to promote the
welfare and best interests of her family, and
taught them by word and example not to for
get God and His precepts. A kind friend
many can attest her kindness. A christian
woman-sbe was not unmindful of her duty to
God, and she was faithful to her Church and
religious duties. Though she is taken from
her home on earth, we have the consoling hope
she is gone to "a home, not made by human
hands, but eternal in the heavens"
