The Toad MARKET. Among the Gu
rious sights to be seen in Paris must be
reckoned the toad market. loads are
there sold by the barrel. Think OF it!
Toads selling like potatoes. Who buys
them? Vegetable gardeners. Why +?
For the reason that toads devour the in
scots that would otherwise devOur the
vegetables. Who devours the toads !
Contrary to some ideas-not the French
people. But toads are being sold now,
not devoured, and it is with tue selling
we are interested. How do they vend
them? The man in blouse bares his
arm and thrusts his open hand into the
Shiny swim and brings up two. three or
four g,mnastic toads, wriggling and
writhing. He points out their merits
and delivers them in box by the
dozen to the eager market gardener,
who takes his choice and pays his price.
The buying AMI selling is done expe-
ditiously and quietly, and the profit to
the vendors is great.

INFLUENCE OF CHILDREN.--Wec cannot
but think that this constant presence of
human nature, pure and happy, of sim
pie and innocent enjoyment, exerts
great, though little noticed influence
on this whole great fighting family Of
man and that each member Of it FORE
goes somewhat Of his selfishness, abates
something OF its fury after every such
contemplation of something happier
than himself, which never yet regarded
self. never was infuriated by passions.
No wonder that the greatest of men
have mostly evinced q passionate fond
ness for children neither is it surpris-
ing that in some persons not otherwise
of weak character, such fondness should
even rise to excess. In our mourning
over Q lost child, the very sources of
our comfort bear in them An embitter-
ing venom for our grief. To the busy
world, what, indeed, is the death of a
child? 1t forwarded, it retarded no
human aim it stood an insignificant
alien by the side Of the mighty and
dusty arena of life. Not SO to the pa
rent. To him its smile and play were
the invigorating spirit that nerved him
in the conflict and the very apathy of
the whole world, beside its utter want
of sympathy with him in his Ito their
feelings) triAing loss, becomes itself
an added source of poignant, lonely,
heart-consuming misery. T..
