A familiar enough cry at this present
time in Paris is that of the peddlers of as
paragus, who go bowling along the streets
Ma bottc d'aspergcs! Ma bottle das-
perges!" Asparagus is greatly liked by
Parisians. One morning in 176S, Berton,
the then director of the National Academy
of Music at Paris, was startled at hearing
beneath his window the traditional "botte
d'asperges" sung, not in the ordinary re,
but several notes higher. Running to the
open window he looked out, and saw down
below him tall, wcll-built young country
man shouting the familiar cry as he ped
dled his asparagus. Berton called to him:
"Do you know, my boy, that you have n
remarkable fine voice? Arc you never
tired?"
"Tired !" exclaimed the asparagus ven
der. "No, indeed Why, it is to unbend a
bit that sing out so loud \"
Do you wish to be engaged at the
opera?"
"Tvo no objections"
"Then tomorrow you shall have mas
ters."
He entered at the opera, and this hum
BILE asparagus seller became the famous
Etcnne Laincz who in ITO was the most
celebrated tenor in France.

MISS KEZIAH's VALENTINE.

CHE has the most angelic counte-
nance Of any man that I ever saw in the
pulpit. We can but think his Affections
have been blessed to him. Poor man!
with those three sweet, motherless chill
dren; my heart bleeds for him!'
And as, she finished speaking, Miss
Keziah Knowlton buried her face, for
an instant, in her pocket-handkerchief.
Kizzy, her niece, stuffed half of hers
into her mouth at the same time. There
was even twinkle in the eyes of prim
Mrs. Deacon Scudder, who was MAX

lister. r..

ever since she was sixteen, when she had
begun by making book.marks, slippers,
worsted mufflers, and so forth, for an
interesting young divinity student who
had walked home from prayer-meeting
with her every Sunday night, written
How sweet the tie that binds in her
album, and then gone off to Hopkinton
and married the Widow Spriggins,
whose husband had died in California
and left her ten thousand dollars. u.
Miss Keziah's young affections were
not biighted beyond the possibility of
recovery. She was all ready for the

On the afternoon of the day on which

approaching Deacon Knowlton's house.

Kizzy didn't say anything. What
could she say, except that she was going
to the dance if she could possibly get her
fathers consent? Shewondered il Mrs.
Scudder wouldn't rather, have gone
to sdance than TO such . very

when she was nineteen! With Arthur
.Lawton, tool Could Deacon Scudder
ever have been anything like Arthur
,Lawtop? and could Mrs. Scudder ever
have, thought about him as she thought
about Arthur? ss .st.
Those were the thoughts that drove
Aunt Keziah and the new minister en-
tirely out of Kizzy's mind.
