AIRING BIs FRENCH.

While French ship was detained at
Southern port on the coast Of Georgia, the
officers amused themselves by fishing and
hunting, making their rendezvous at the
house Of an old farmer, where they cook
cd their game and slept. Tho old man
watched their foreign ways with intense
curiosity, and listened eagerly to the be.
wildering tongue they so huently dis.
coursed in, and after some de Us had
passed he picked up some Of the phrases
most agreeable 10 his ear, although he
could not catch the pronunciation or may
have scorned to initiate It. He had been
fond of holding forth In prayer night and
morning for many years, with no audi
ence but his wife, and that Providence
had provided congregation who were
necessarily compelled TO sit around his
fire for rest after the days hard work, his
outpouriDgs began to stretch far beyond
the patience Of bis guests, and soon they
showed no hesitation in dropping off in
the midst of his exhortatlons. Noticing
and resenting this, he commenced the
usual nightly exercises earlier one even
ing, before any of The party had left, and
after enumerating every sin of commits.
sion and omission they had been guilty of
while under his roof, besought for pardon
for them. "But if,"he prayed, with fervor
''their godlessness and sipfulness are past
forgiveness, then, 0 Lord, beseech you
10 look with a sang froid on their daily
life"
1t Is hardly necessary 10 say that the
French words were pronounced with all
the hardness bis voice was capable Of
enunciating, aud each letter dwelt upon
with fervid distinciuess.
