Partisan Newspapers.

French newspapers are celebrated for
containing very little of what an Ameri-
can or English reader would regard as
news. To supply the place of domestic
intelligence or foreign kilograms, how
ever, Partisan editors show remarkable
ingenuity in inventing pleasant stories,
with a sufficient appearance of truth
about them, to pass current with their
readers, for genuine accounts of actual
occurrences. The following is a sample
of a local item in a Paris newspaper of
recent date: For some months the
employees of the octrol, or city toll of
the Porte Vaugirard of Paris, observed
every evening at nightfall an elegant
dog cart, driven by a gentleman OF ir-
reproachable toilette. At the back sat
a groom, with the most correct English
physiognomy, ms arms crossed on his
breast. g astand-up collar, and looking as
grave as Charge d'Alfaires signing
treaty. The formal question, g Have
you anything to declare ?" was always
answered in the negative, and the We
hicIe passed on 1t happened, however,
a day or two back, that, by some awk-
wardness on the part of the driver, the
cart caught on the boundary of the
road, and though it was not overturned,
the shock was so violent and so sudden,
that the gentleman, losing his balance,
was flung out upon the ground. The
EN- 1lovces at the gate fastened to raise
an assist the sufferer. During this

&C me down." cried they angrily,
- mt you see your master Is hurt 2
g Is he drunk or stupid ?" The groom
preserved his English sang froid, and
the employees, giving him a shake, dis
covered, to their astonishment, that he
was mads-of zinc, and contained 30 gal
Ions of cognac.

WHEREVER I find truth, I will ap-

Gods word, and belongs to me and to

men never make truths, they only re-

THE OLD BARN.

Rickety. old, and crazy,
Shingleless, lacking some doors;
Bad in the upper story,
Wanting boards in the floors;
Beams strung thick with cobwebs,
Ridge-pole yellow and gray,
Hanging in helpless innocence
over mows of hay.
How the winds turned around it
Winds Of a stormy day
Scattered the fragrant hay seed,
Whislxing the straws away;
Streaming ia at the crannies,
Spreading the clover smell,
Changing the dark old granery
Into fiswery dell.
o how I loved the shadows
That clung to the silent roof,
Day-dreams wove with the quiet,
Many a glittering woof;
climbed to the highest rafters,
And watched the swallows at play,
Admired the knots in the boarding,
And rolled in the billows Of hay.
Palace Of king couldn't match it,
The Vatican loses its charm,
When placed in my memory's balance,
Beside the old gray barn
And I'd rather scent the clover
Piled IN the barIs roomy mows,
Than sit in the breath of the highlands,
Poured from Appenine browsI

And bright in Heavens jeweled crown

There is no desthl The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer shower
To golden grain CT mellowed fruit,

The granite rocks disorganize,
And feed the hungry moss they bear;
The forest trees drink daily life
From out the viewless air.
There Is no deathl The leaves may fall,
And flowers may fq.le and pass away;
They only wait through wintry hours
The coming Of May-day.
There is no death! An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread;
And bears our best loved things away;
And then we call them dead
He leaves our heart all desoiate,
He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers;
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-like voice, whose joyous tones
Make glad these scenes Of sin and strife,
Now sings an everlasting song
Around the Tree Of Life.
Where'es he sees a smile too bright,
Or heart too pure for taint and vice,
He bears it to that world of light,
To dwell in Paradise.
Born unto that undying life,
They leave us but to come again:
With joy We welcome them the same,
Except their sin and pain.
And ever near Us, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread
