Notre Dame de Paris.

There are few churches in France around
which historical memories cluster, aud
which can recall such varied "reminiscences
of her Monarchy as the time-honored pile
that rears her majestic towers on the banks
of the Seine-the Cathedral of Notre Dame.
Yet her earliest origin is q matter of some
conjecture and enveloped in donbt. Pro-
badly the FIRST Oratory where st. Denis was
won't to assemble the neophytes of Lutetia
(Paris), was a crypt known but to him and
Ills converts. Religion, like it's divine
Master aud Founder, had for time to
only to burst forth more radlantly and with
renewed strength. Persecution, the Cata-
com bs and Martyrdom are three works that
tell of the early glories of our Holy Mother
Church.
When Constantine had taken the Cross
for his standard, and later on Clovis had
followed his example, then peace began to
flourish in the provinces, and churches
arose within the walls of the city. 1t was
then that the modest Basilica of Paris was
constructed ON the desert bank of the
Seine where once stood a temple dedicated
to Jupiter, and where now stands the mag
nificent cathedral of which we write.
Being insufficient for tue increasing Chris
tian population, this primitive church was
replaced by another built in $50 by Childe-
bert, at the desire of st. GERMAN, Bishop
of Paris. 1t was first dedicated to st. Ste
phen, but when RoDert, son OF AuSn Cape',
undertook to reconstruct it., he put it under
the patronage of Our Lady. 1t s75 this
church was destroyed. When peace was
proclaimed by the conversion of Rollen,
another arose from it's ruins and stood until
the episcopacy of Maurice de Sully, Bishop
of Paris, 1l64. This illustrious prelate re-
solved to build u new cathedral, and ami
mated by the zeal of the people, and the
| liberality of princes, commenced the foun-
dation Of the present church, but died
without the consolation Of seeing the end
of his labor, aud two centuries passed ere
completion crowned the work.
This august edifice has suffered much
from the ravages of time, but more from
the hands of man.
Memory, wandering back through the
vista of centuries, can review the scenes
that passed within the hallowed walls of
this glorious cathedral, where the prayers
of so many millions have fer ages gone up

story: A youthful hen found an egg, aud,
yielding to the maternal instinct, sat upon

coloring it, came along, and seeing only

STICK TO SOME ONE PURsUIT.-There
cannot be n greater error than to be ire
quently changing ones business. II any
man will look around and notice who have
got rich and who have not, out of those he
started life with, he will find that the sue
cessful have generally stuck to some pur-
suit. Two lawyers, for example, begin to
practice at the same time. One devotes
Ills whole mind to his profession, lays in
slowly a stock Of legal learning, and waits
patiently, it may be for years, till he gains
an opportunity to show his superiority. The
other, tired of such slow work, dashes into
politics. Generally, at the end of twenty
years tho latter will not be worth penny,
while the former will have handsome
practice, and count his tens of thousands
in bank stock or mortgages. Two clerks
attain a majority simultaneously. One re-
mains with his former employers, or at
least in the same line of trade, at first on a
small salary, then on larger, until finally,
if he is meritorious, he is taken into part.
nership. The other thinks it beneath him
to fill a subordinate position now that Q
has become a man, and accordingly starts
into some other business on his own &C
count, or undertakes q new firm in the Cd
Line Of trade. Where does he endf Often
every merchant can testify. A young man
is bred q mechanic. He acquires a distate
for his trade, however, thinks it q tedious
way to get ahead, and sets out for the West
or for California. But, in most cases, the
same restless, discontinued and speculative
spirit which carried him away first renders
continuous application at any one place
, irksome to him, and 80 he goes wandering
about the world, sort of semi-civilized
Arab, really q vagrant in character, and
sure to die insolvent. Meantime, his fell
low apprentice, who had staid at home,
practicing economy and working steadily
at his trade, has grown comfortable in his
circu instances, and ia even perhaps citizen
of mark. There are men Of ability in every
walk of life who are notorious for never
getting along. Usually it is because they
never stick to any one business. just
when they have mastered one pursuit,
8 and are on the point of making money,
. they change it for another which they dc
not understand, and, in little while what
little they are worth is lost forever. We
know scores of such persons. Go where
you will, you will generally find that the
men who have failed in life are those who
never stuck to one thing long, On the
5 other hand, your prosperous man, nine
t times out of ten has always stuck to one
C pursuit.-TAe Workman.

ORIENTAL WIspoM.-One deprived of the
faculty OF speech, who sitteth in a corner
deaf and dumb, is preferable to him who
cannot govern his tongue.
In, the time OF my childhood 1 was very
religious. was punctual in the perform
ance of my deyotions, and abstinent. One
night had been sitting in the presence of
my father, not having closed my eyes dur
ing the whole time, and with the Holy
Koran in my hand, whilst numbers around
me were asleep. said to my father: Not
one of these litteth up his head to perform
his genufiections; but they are all SO fast
asleep that you would say they are dead"
He replied: "Life of your father, it
were better if thou vert also asleep than to
be searching out the faults of mankind.
The boaster sees nothing but himself, hav-
ing a we'll of conceit before his eyes. If
he were endowed with an eye capable of
discerning God, he would not discover any
person weaker than himself.n

learned urbanity. He replied, "From
those of rude manners; for whatever |
found in them that was disagreeable,
avoided doing the same"

Practical JoKEs.-Jokes, generally,
are delicate things to handle, and not
every one can choose, correctly. the time
aad place fer joking, and but very few are
happy in their selection of Jokes. Never
theless, a ''bonmot," when applicable, and
not too pointed, will afford much innocent
Amusement, and, perhaps, give new life to
tagging conversation.
But there is one sort of jokes which can
very rarely be INDUCED IN with safety, and
this is what is generally termed practical
Joking. A great many practical jokes are
made on the firstday of April, and, indeed,
this is perhaps the only day of the year
when it is at all cxcusable to make them /;
for, on this day, every one expects either
to '.fool or be fooled" as the little urchins
have it, and hence no very serious conse-
quences occur. But We have heard of
many instances where the results OF a
practical joke were very serious. Make
believe ghosts" have frightened young peo,,
ple to death. A sudden jump from behind
the door after several mysterious knocks
has had similar effect. Quarrels have
been made between old friends by some
friend of both parties who prdcticed his
Jokes wpon them" Serious accidents of
many kinds are narrated as the result of
practical joking.
Hence those who are inclined to be witty
at their neighbours expense, should make 1t
rule, fret, to be ever ready to take as
much as they give; secondly, never to
risk an uutoward result: and, thirdly,
never to offend against charity in whatever
they say or do, even though it be in mere
fun. -

For good manufacturing community a
hard climate and hard soil are desirable,
otherwise labor will not easily be obtain

parts of Europe.
There are other points of disadvantage
to the South. Manufactures are of slow
growth. They cannot be had faster than
the people can be educated to them and
obtain skill in various processes. That
needed skilled labor the South does not
have and is not likely 10 possess for a
century to come. Men do only what they
are forced to do, and hence ut the South
there is neither the industry or the econ
omy in the masses of the people nece:sa-
ry for manufacturing. We can only
make our factories profitable by using the
labor of women and children, and estab-
fishing rigid economy of time and ma
terials-" running as near to the wind
rs possible. These are modes of opera
ton 10 which the South is not accustomed,
to which their genial climate and fertile
soil do not compel them 1t is for such
reasons as we have stated that manuta C.
turing and mechanical enployments have
not succeeded either at the South or
