A Romantic Courtsl,iD.

The Rev. and Mrs. Swan Carl Fran
zenc LETT Ardmore for their new home
i'll Minnesota, where Mr.. Franzenc will
labor as missionary among the
Swedish settlers. Their recent we'd
ding has made public the history of 1.
romantic courtship. The bride is H.
daughter of the late Charles Kugler, of
Ardmore. for many years State sena-
tor from Montgomery County, and
long identified with the Lutheran
Church and Publication Society. Her
SISTER is DR.. Annie Kngler, now a mis-
sionary in India and recently assist
ant resident physician in the female
department OF the Norristown Insane

still ,school-sirl-pnpil OF the Friends
school at Fifteenth and Race streets
she formed the acquaintance the

spends his summers at lis country
place, near Ardmore. This coachman
was IL Swede, of ordinary education.

declared her determination either to
marry the coachman or 90 with her
sister as a missionary to India.
The young lady's relatives and
friends, OF course, opposed the match.

Tho Cost of Living in Paris.

1t is supposed to be very much
cheaper to live in Europe t;ian in
America. This is true OF many Euro
pean cities-perhaps ofall except Par
is, but here, since the Prussian war,
and especially since the great Exposi-
ton, prices for all necessaries of life
are higher than in any other city Oh
either continent. Fillet of beef costs
forty and fifty cents u pound for best
quality, beet steak, twenty-five cents
pound; pork chops, twenty-five
cents: veal, twenty-iive; mutton, eight
cen; leg of lamb. twenty-three to TWEEN
ty-tive cents a pound, and chickens
eighty cents to 81 each. Vegetables
are about the same aus in America.
Coffee is from thirty to forty cents,
and white (beet) sugar eleven cents a
pound. In provincial towns living is
twenty per cent. cheaper than in Par
is. House rent and clothing cheap.
err than in America-to a judicious
person-but no foreigner can make us
good q bargain with u Frenchman as
Il Frenchman himself. All servants
make commissions OH all their pur-
chases, and have been told by Amer
lean residents that they find it cheap
cr to let their servants earn this com
mission than to undertake to do the
buying themselves. 1t is almost i'm
possible to find board forless than 200
francs month in any respectable
boarding house, The French private
family seldom receives boarders. Stu
dents coming to Paris determined to
live economicallycan find acomforta-
bic room, however, foras low as thirty
francs a month tS6), and board at
little restaurants for three francs u
day, making a total of about 100
FRANCS q month, but it is not an envi.
able way to live, and it is conceded
now that even New York is much
cheaper than Paris. Letter.

Suddenly he rose from his knees,
his face aslo with excitement. ''The
Lord hath instructed me! The Lord
hath instructed mel" lie said. "It
shall be done tomorrow" And with
that determination lie slept peaceful.
ly:
Next morning, an houratter sunrise,
while Betty Lee sat ut heirloom weuv.
ing busily, she heard some one calling,
BETTY! Betty Lec!"
There at the gate, in full uniform,
with cockaded hat and sword ut his
belt, and astride his horse, high spir-
tied rs himself, she saw the valiant
Capt. Marvin.
"Come here, Betty. lhavc u com.
munlcation to MAKE" said lie.
She obeyed him now, going close be-
side the horse and looking up to that
mighty Captain with inqulrlng glance.
He took his hat from his head, and,
bending to her, said: 'Betty Lee, the
Lord hath commanded me to marry
you"
She searched his eyes aninstant and
saw the truth i'll them; then, the rich
color tinging her cheeks, her eyes now
downcast, she hesitated a brief mo-
ment, and then in low but clear tones
said gently: ''The Lords will be done.
Renold."
He quickly leaped to the ground,
and, putting both hands beneath her
shoulders, lifted her lightly till herlips
met his, and then, still holding her
thus suspended, said: 1--WE shall be
called in church the next Lords Day,
Betty"
"Your will is mine hereafter" she
answered sently,a land then with smile
added: "but put me OH the earth again,
Remodel"
"Your word is law to me, Betty, 1
obey" He set her gently down again.
and then, smiling, said: "Now under
stand why have been Ike a reed in
the wind before your wishes. But tits
very sweet submission, Betty. Truly
it is, and will be while live.'
And the tradition runs that though
he became a man OF great authority,
yet he said truly then that her mai
esty would compel sweet submission
from Inn while he lived.

And then does rightly Use it.
Most men. with nothing, have the though
That life would be II pleasure

He vows he does not want the earth;
His thoughts are far above it;
The gold Of Indus and of Or,
His simple tastes don't covct.
Avery little meets his wants;
Enough to furnish living,
He says, il all IL man should ask,
And thank the Lord for giving.
But. liz it true? Well, il it he.

The man who fights for bread to-day,
Will fight for pie tomorrow.

This makes the sum Of all his Joys,
Ofall his hopes and blisscs;
'Tis all he needs lis all lie prays;

But is il true? You bet il uint,
For in this world of SORROW,
The man who fights Tor bread to-day

unwilling to spin out our awaking thoughts
into the phantasms of sleep which often
continueth precogitations. 1t would be
hard, indeed, for plain folk to recognize the
familiar ''strain at gnat and swallow a
camel' in the paraphrase of the words
which Sir VIM. Hamilton applies to certain
of his philosophical opponents-"It is
strange that Threats which can so pleasantly
open for the reception of camel should be
so painfully CONSTRUCTED at the prospective
phantom of gnat." One of the profess
sors at Princeton, during my student life
there, an able and learned man, was great
sinner against the simplicity of the Ian
guage, and specimens of his Latinized
English still cling to my memory, as, for
instance, his definition of dancing: "Danc-
ing. young gentlemen, is but refined and
sublimated modification of ambulatory loco
notion or his allusion, in lecture on
Mental Philosophy, to ''the exiguous line Of
demarcation between expiring reason and
nascent insanity" But to multiply
examples or to go into further details would
be beyond the scope of my purpose, the
limits of my time and the patience of my
audience. If 1 have helped the public
school teachers whom 1 have been address
ing to see with somewhat clearer vision that
English is a living and therefore a growing
language, and that, by reason of their con-
tact with the children of the people, they,
more than any others, are to determine the
character and direction of its growth; if |
have brought them to realize that they are
the guardians of English, I can safely leave
the manner in which this high trust is to
be discharged to that fidelity to duty and
that devotion to the public good for which
they are so honorably aud prominently
