The CRUsTs OF PARIs.-What
becomes of the old moons? What
becomes of the old crusts of
bread in Paris? asks Figaro and
then tells their transformations.
The boulanger en- vleur, "Baker of
the Old" freely translated, utilizes
the pieces OF dry, damaged and
abandoned bread. He gathers the
crusts in boarding-houses, con-
vents and hotels. These NOR
sells, covered with sand, stained
with ink, and often picked from
heaps of refuse, are sold by SER
wants to the "Baker OF DID,"
who turns them into new prep
arations. The merchandise is first
carefully divided. The fragments
which are judged to be still in apre-
sentable condition are dried in an
oven and form croutes an pot, which
are used in soup at low-class les
taurants. Almost all the lozenge-
shaped crusts served in dishes OF
vegetables have this origin. The
crumbs and defective crusts are
pounded in a mortar until they
become white paste, which
butchers use to adorn outlets. All
the material that appears abso-
lutely incapable Of further service
IS roasted, reduced to charcoal
ground into powder, and by the ad-
dition Of a few drops Of essence of
mint is converted into tooth paste.
Such is one Of the metamorphoses
Of Partisan industry.

CORRECT SpEAKISG.-We advise
our young people to acquire in
early life, the habit of using good
language, both in speaking and
writing, and also to abandon the
use of slang words and phrases.
The longer they live the more
difficult the acquisition Of good
language will be; and if the gol-
den age Of youth, the proper time
for the acquisition of language be
passed in it's abuse, the unfortu-
nate victim Of neglected education
is very probably doomed 10 talk
slang for life. Money is not ne
cessary to produce this education.
Every man has it in his power.
He has merely to use the language
which be reads, instead of the
slang which be hears to form
his taste from the best speakers
and poets of the country TO treas
ure choice phrases in his memory,
and babituate himself to their use
avoiding at the same time that
pedantic precision and bombast,
which show rather the weakness
of vain ambition tiI&a the polish
of An educated mind.

"Sir," said the merchant, ''per-
nit me to have the honor Of offer-

His EAcellency received it as if
mechanically, holding it in his
hand and talking, till, pretexting
some business, he went out, and,
calling an officer desired him to
take that snuff box to the mer-
chants house, asking his wife, rs
from him, by that token, to deliver
TO the bearer a case Of jewels
which he had there. The Viceroy
returned to the apartment whero
he had left his hattered guest, and
remained in conversation with
him until the officer returned !;
and, requesting private speech Of
the 'Viccroy, delivered to him d
| Jewel case which he had received
from the merchants wife.
Revillagigedo then returned to
his fair complainant, and, under
! pretense Of showing her some
rooms in the palace, led her into
one, where, among many objects
of value, the jewel case stood
open. No sooner had she cast
her eyes upon it than she started
forward with joy and amazement.
The Viceroy requested her TO
wait there o little longer, and re-
| turned to his other guest.
"Now," said he, "before going
further, wish to hear the truth
concerning another affair in which
you are interested. Are you ac-

"Never !" said the merchant,

act Of friendship, and she has in
vented a story ponaerning some

foundation"
In vain the Viceroy begged him
to reflect. and not, by adding
falsehood to treachery, force him
to take measures Of severity. The
merchant with oaths persisted in
his denial, The Viceroy left the
room suddenly, and returned with
the jewel case in his band; at
which unexpected apparltion the
astonished merchant changed COL

of mind. The Viveroy ordered
him from his presence, with a
severe rebuke for his talsehood
and treachery, and an order never
again to enter the palace. At the
same time be commanded him to

CoMPos SURE THE TEST OF
SLRENGTH.-We mistake strong
feeling for strong character. A
man who bears all before him
before whose irown domestics
trembie, and whose bursts of fury
make the children of the house
quake-because he has his will
obeyed, and his own way in all
things, we call him q strong man.
The truth is, that is the weak
man ; it is his passions that are
strong; he, mastered by them, is
weak. You must measure the
strength of q man by the power
Of the feelings he subdues, not by
the power of those which subdue
him. And hence, composure ls
very often the highest result Of
strength. Did we never see a
man receive q fragrant insult, and
only grow a little pale: and then
reply quietly? That was a man
spiritually strong. Or did We
never see man in anguish stand
as if carved out Of solid rock mas.
tering himself? or one bearing q
hopeless daily trial remain silent,
and never tell the world what it
was that cankered his home-peace?
That is strength. He who, with
strong passions, remains chaste-
he who, keenly sensitive, with
manly power Of indignation in
him, can be provoked, yet can re-
strain himself and forgive-these
are strong men, spiritual heroes.

TRLCk!NG 4 RlSCAL, !
A MEXICAN STORY.

A lady of fortune, living in tho
city Of Mexico, during the latter
days of the occupation Of Mexico
by the Spanish, owing TO some
combination of circumstances.
found herself in di2ulFlties, ana in
immediate want of a small sum OF
money. Don being her god
father, and respectable NOR
chant, she went to him to state
her necessities, and offered h'Ht
a case of valuable jewels as Sc
curity for repayment, provided ne
would advance her eight hundred
dollars. At the end Of a few
months, her temporary difficult
ties being ended she went to hep
eodtather's house to repay the
money and receive back her jew
els. The man readily received the
money, but declared to bis as
1onished goddaughter that as TO
the jew els, he had never heard OF
them, and that no such transaction
bad taken place. The senora' in
diguant al the merchants treach-
cry, instantly repaired to the
palace of the Vice King, hoping
for justice from this Western SOL
omon, though unable to conceive
now 1t could be obtained.
She was instantly received by
Revillagigcdo, who listened at
tentively to her account Of the
circumstances.
HHad you no witnesses ?" said
the Count.
"None," replied shs.
Did no servant pass in or out
during the transaction ?"

The Viceroy recolIccted a mo-

"Does your godfather smoke ?"
"No sir" said the lady, as

every precaution to deaden any

"Does he take snuGs' asked

his visitor, who probably feared
that for once His Excellency's
wits we're wool-gathcring.
"That is sufficient" said the
Viceroy; "retire into the adjoin-
ing chamber, and keep quiet
your Jewels shall be restored"
His ExcelIenoy then despatched
a messenger for the merchant, who

TEE CARELESS WORD.


THE CARELESS WORD.
Twas but word, careless word.
As thistle down it seemed as light;
It paused moment in the air,
Then onward winged its flight.
Another lip caught up the word,
Aud breathed it with hearty sneer;
1t gathered weight as on it sped,
That careless word, in its career.
Then rumor caught the flying word,
Aud busy gossip gave it weight,
Until that little word became
A vehicle Of angry hate.
And then that word was winged with FIRE,
Its mission was thing of pain,
For soon it fell like lava drops
Upon wildly tortured brain.
Aad then another page Of life
With burning, scalding tears was blurred
A load of care was heavier made,
Its added weight, that careless word.
That careless word, Oh! how it scorched
A fainting, bleeding, quivering heart!
Twas like a hungry fire, that searched
Through every tender, vital part.
How wildly throbbed that aching heart!
Deep agony its fountains stirred;
1t calmed, but bitter ashes mark
The pathway Of that careless word,

THE MOON.

Every body accords to the sun
the privilege Of regulating the
course Of the seasons. Their ma
jcstic alternations harmonize we'll
with the march OF: heavenly
body that constantly meets our
eyes with the same invariabie as
rect. But changes Of the weather,
SO unexpected and frequent; seem
TO require, paapio think, a more
variable origin. If we consider
the daily vicissitudes Of raiu and
sunshine, Of fogs, winds, clea:
skies, and c!osds, the moon is the
only heavenly body whose rapid
alterations of form and position
answer to such unccasins var!a:
tons.
If we accepted literally every
lamar prejudice, the moon would
rule many things besides the
weather. MadmeR and junatics
wouid be subject to her power.
There are veterinary surgeons
who say that the sight Of certain
horses becomes dim o. clear ac-
oording to the phases Of the moon.
Woodmen insist that if trees arc
fc!led with a. waning moon, the
wood will speedily decay. House:
wives declare that if you kill your
pig, as you ought, with q eres-
cent moop, the bacon vii! s~A"
nicely in Tue h~''' 'ro. If an the
contrary, when she is 10 the wane, it
will shrivcl, shrink and be hard
and good for nothing. Finally all
sailors in mass, except the most
highly educated officers, attribute
every change Of weather to the
moon. Why ? Nobody knows.
it is exactly because preludices
arc beyond the reach Of discussion
that it is so difficult to bring them
to reason. Natural philosophers
have perfectly explained the phe
uomena attributed 10 the red moon
which are really caused by the
state of the atmosphere. Gar
dcners, nevertheless, persist II
making the red moon responsible
for the morning frosts which ire
uucntly occur during its presence
But the ancients never entertained
the idea that the moons phases
were the causes Of changes in the
weather it was Jupiter's privilege
to assemble the clouds and to dart
the thunder bolts. The lucky anc

a PRINTER 5 f'IGuT W!ru DOGS.
"A short time ago Mr.. r. H.
Hawthorn Il job printer of Duane
street, New York, had Il desperate
encounter with two savage dogs
in New Jersey. They attacked
him while iio was on his wav
across the liac!icnsack meadows
after dark. As he was u long dis
t"nco from any house, the dogs
met him on the highway, and
one of them at once sprang at his
throat. lie was entirely unarmed,
and had it not been for a package
Of dry goods that he carried in
his hands be would probably have
been torn to pieces. AS the first
dog jumped for MS throat he
thrust the package into the ami
malls mouth. Hardly had this
dog recolled before the second dog
came on with savage fury, and
was met by Mr.. Hawthorn in a
similar manner. Thus the un-
equalcd contest went on, the dogs
growing more furious as they
were repulsed.
Strange to say, this fight was
kept up for nearly two hours. At
intervals the man shouted at the
top of his voice for help, but mono
came. At last his voice failed
him, and he could only meet the
assaults Of the dogs, with a grim
hope that some one would pass by
and relieve him from his perilous
position, although it was night,
and the road was untrequented at
that hour. At last the dogs, tired
of the useless contest, went away.
Mr.. Hawthorn made his way TO
his home, Two miles distant, and
reached there in an exhausted con-
dltion. 1t Was several days be-
fore ne fully recovered from the
effects of the terrible encounter.
