Gambetta has returned to his earlier loves,
1t is not SO long ago since he was a lazy, ILL.,
dressed, and rather unkempt cafe lounger.
Now he is a statesman and one of the worlds
leaders for the time being. Nevertheless,
he does not altogether forget bis old friends
and associates: The liquor sa]loon-keepers
OF Paris, says q Paris letter, indulge in an
annual dinner, which is quite an affair in its
way, and rather eclipses our own French
cooks ball. Gambetta was invited by his
old friends, and cheerfully consented to at
tend. Wine-shops are important centres in
politics. Even so popular a min st,r as Mr..
Gladstone has been defeated before now by q
judicious admixture of the gin and gospel
elements in British politics. So Gambetta
went down among the tavern-keepers and
made q very pretty little speech. He did not
tell them precisely that they were the salt of
the earth, for he has s constitutional objection
to quoting scripture. But he did tell them he
was extremely gratiied at coming into inter
course with trade societies such as theirs,
which were the real representatives of indus
try and thrift. Indeed, sucn intercourse was
q duty which he would never shirk On any
pretext. Tavern keepers, he Informed
his delighted audience, were the pillars
and conservators of society, whose only
enemy was the clerical. T%ayern-keepers
never fomented riots, which is only a stereo-
typed accusation Of the revolutionary press.
The Wine-shop was for the workman and
small tradesman what the club and the sa-
loon were for the rich, and Gambetta con-
demned tie rigorous legislation to which SO
useful and beneficial an institution was sub
jected and which placed it at the mercy of
officials. "The humble wine-shop keeper
was an important section Of society in popu-
lar quarters, for, as his friend Martin Ma
daub had said, Labor makes one thirsty"
These words win 60 ali over France, and are
destined, as they doubtless were intended, to
bear rich vintage in the election for the pres
idency Of the French republic.

And now we bow us in the dust,
And, conscieLce-smitten beg with tears
sThat you forgive US for the wrong,
That you forget how blind we Wore;
And We will join in praise with her,
Who has, alone, in trust been strong"
TO this | answer carelessly:- =.~@
i" "Your need of praise [ have not sought;
The good within me has been wrought
BY her who has been true to me; ~u@""@
tAnd she to me is all in all,
Her praise is praise enough for me,
look within her eyes and see
She loves and trusts, though angels fall.
1T matters not if praise or blame
Proceed from other lips than hers;
Your thought of me no feeling stirs,
My thought of you is still the same"
