SoUSoUs OF AUvERcNE.

A notable class of the women work.
crs of Paris arc those called merchants
of the four seasons" They IRE provided
with a handcart commonly filled with
vegetables or other products of the land
and water peculiar to the different sea-
sons, but the name is sufficiently elastic
TO include those who deal the year round
in meat, oranges or other things which
the appcllation would family suggest.
The privilege of following this arduous
occupation is only granted to persons
who arc aged and decrepit, and who, if
the laws of health were observed, really
should not be engaged in it. In the
morning they go at daylight to the cen
trail market to lay in their stock of fruit,
meat, vegetables, ETC., and thence for
ward till dark, and sometimes until q
certain hour in the evening they may be
seen pushing their carts about the city,
haggling with customers, retailing their
misfortuncs with one another, or having
a row with policeman, who threatens
TO take them in if they do not forthwith
evacuatc Il particular locality which is
highly desirable for their business, but
where they are very much in the way.
The existence of class of small dealers
of this kind implies conflicting interests.
The shopkccpers object. They pay high
rents. and here are dealers at their
hoors who underscll them and
who pay no rent. On the
other hand, the merchants of the
four seasons are a great accommodation
TO small consumers, since they sell at a
reasonable price and their goods are usu-
ally fresh, because they renew their stock
every morning. There are the interests
of the city tc be considered, for the
streets arc crowded at the very hours
when the business of the merchants of the
fcur seasons is most prosperous, that is

they put in charge OF their more muscular
.handmaiden to be trundled about the
city. Bread is the staff of life in France
to an extent hardly conceivable in
America. A great part of the present
population makes its repasts the greater
part of the time on bread and wine or on
bread and cider. II bread is dear the
entire population of Paris gives cry OF
agony. The commerce in bread is neces-
isarily immense, and employ host OF
women, who sell at the counter or are en-
gagged in the delivery. Men are never
seen about the establishment. Their
presence is required at the kneadlng-
trough and oven, where they may be
seen, in costume exceedingly primitive,
through the basement window at night
doing sncir part in the serious labor of
filling what Victor Hugo calls lie vcntre
de Paris The bakeresses present few
salient points of character. They are
generally neat and good-humorcd,
whether at the counter or in the street,
and the same may be said of those in tho
pastry shops, which constitute, usually,
u separate and entirely distinct branch OF
the trade. The bread dcliverer has,
usually, her head covered with handkcr-
chief, and when she leaves her basket,
carries Il portion of her burden, like
sticks of wood, suspended in front of
her in cloth knotted at the shoulders.
1t is the hcadgear of the portcresscs, that

The Oldest Inhabitant.

Census Taker Bethunc, of Mjlledge-
vile, Ga, in discharging his duties, ran
across the oldest inhabitant, and was puz-
zcd for awhile as to what entry to make
of her age. Jane Moore, colored, living
in the northern part of the city, gave her
age as one hundred and twenty y-onc years.
Mr.. Bcthunc questioned her for some
time and discovered that the old woman
was a regular encyclopedia of the early
days of American independence. She
knew all about twas there and saw 1t.
She remembered Washington and all of
the fathers. She remembered their
habits and ecccntricities, and said that
she was married and had children when
Washington died. Her oldest living
child is cighty-eight years old, and since
its birth she has been blessed with twenty
seven others. She is evidently not less
than one hundred and ten years and may
be one hundred and tweuty-one, as she

porters, hewers of wood and drawers of
water, everything in fact they want to be
or are obliged to be, and their rights and
wrongs, are, in general, justly recognized
by the unwritten social code and the
legal tribunals of their country.
Newspapers are sold in Paris at kiosks
situated on the principal streets, boulc-
Yards and public places by venders, who
have a coigh of vantage at the door of Il
wincshop or other entrance, and by news
men or news women in the street. Boys
rarely engage in the occupation. The
dress of the men so engaged usually beg
gars description. The news women pre-
sent ordinarily a more decent appear
ance. The kiosks are small, picturesque
structures constructed by a company au-
thorized by the city and leased at from
6 francs to 10 or Is francs mouth, ac-
cording to eligibility. 1t is not always
those in the most crowded localities that
pay best, and at none of them are for
tunes made in a day. It is not life
that an American woman, even of the
most necessitous class, would not will
lingly follow-up in the morning at
dawn and on the boulevards; never in
bed before one o'clock in the morning.
Most of the kiosks are kept by aged
women, who, summer and winter alike,
pass from twelve to eighteen hours
dav at their task. When the weather is
cold their sufferings must be great,
though they arc warmly dressed and
have under their skirts footstove of
the kind which our ancestors used in the
old New England churches when the
sermons were three hours long and the
temperature 10 degrees below zero. At
midnight the more weary begin to nod,
and you have to shout to wake them.
At one o'clock they have all folded their
tents and stolen away to take q few hours
of reposc before recommending the dull
round Of labor.

TWILIGHT TIME.

When sunset lights are fading in the west,
And stars begin to gleam across the sky,
The tender twilight brings me peace and
rest,
While, dear, to you my hearts best long
ings fly.
Tho miles that lie between us seen as
naught;
Your form comes gliding softly to my
chair,
And looking into mine with eyes love fraught,
Your fingers wander idly DER my hair;
Your loving touch q benediction seems
That calls my nobler, truer self to life;
I long to realize my manhood's better
dreams
And be worthier actor in the strife
With purifying love your dark eyes shine,
The last light fingers on your dusky hair,
And then you gently draw your hand from
mine;
Iglauce to where you knelt-you are not
there.
And so at twilight time my thoughts of you
Bridge over all the miles that intervene,
And bring you to me ever good and true,
With none to sever, naught to come be-
tween.

of a Paris street to another and scarcely
see man in any of the shops, except
those where groceries or meat are sold.
At the markets it is the same: there are
only men at the butchers stalls. AT the
fish markets, especially at that OF the
Central Market, which is immense and
admirably supplied and kept, there IS not
a man to be seen. There is no doubt
these fish women have, like Shakespeare S
shrew, "a tongue with tang" but un-
less there is some extraordinary cause for
excitement everything is as calm as a
summers morning. 1t is only women
that keep those convenient chalets seen
along the quays IN all the public places
of the city. Half the restaurants OF
Paris are served by bonnes in pretty caps,
who, no matter how asslduously
they perform their duties, always
have an eye open for eligible
conquest among the male patrons. In
Paris, nurses, though they come more or
less from all parts of the country, are
principally supplied hy Brittany and

nurses of Auvergnc that the melody was
written which afterward became so cele-
brated in the Boulangist campaign under
the name of the "Pionpions of Au'

A Four-Century Bible.

What is probably the oldest copy of
the Scriptures in the United States is a
very curious Bible in the possession of
the Rev. Father A. A. Lambing, the his
torian, of Williamsburg, Penn.
1t is folio in size, containing about
900 pages of heavy parchment (sheep)
and bears a marked resemblance to the
first Bibles printed by Gutenberg when
he invented printing. The Bibles printed
at first by Gutenberg lin 1450 and 1855
are described as "quarto in size, double
columns, the initial letters of the chap
ters being executed with the pen in COL
ors.
Father Landings Bible was printed in
1873, and is, therefore, one of the ear
liest specimens of printing. The letters
ale in large Gothic style and the hand
illuminated work is simply beautiful.
The gilt painting, after the lapse of time,
j, as clean and pretty and bright as
though put on only yesterday.
Chemistry to-day is said to possess no
materials which will maintain red color
any length of time, and here in this
Bible the fourishes and initial letters in
red have withstood the ravages of time
for more than 400 years and are still
brilliant. The monks had some secret in
the mixture of their paints. They became
adopts at the Illuminating art.
} The text of the book is in the Latin
vulgate, except that the Acts of the
Apostles are put after st. Paul's Epistle to
the Hebrews. There are many contrac-
tions in the printing which are hard to
to make out, even to Latin and Biblical
students. The cover is of maple wood,
covered on the outside with hogskiR
over which fourlshes and fancy stamp
work have been embossed.
The corners of the cover are protected
by solid brass castings. Another Of
these metal ornaments has been fastened
to the middle OF the back, and the frag-
ments of brass clasps are still hanging to
the Bible. In those days durability was
aimed at in binding far more than it is
| now.
Father Lambing says that this Bible
is five years older than Martin Luther.
Luther was born November 5, 1888, and
the book was printed November, 147S.
He says it is probably one of the old
books which were chained in the monas-
ferries

Late in November sho came, her
trunks full of Aunt Sophy's presents, and
Aunt Mary gave her cordial greeting. A
gran. wedding was the display upon
which the lady had set her heart, and
Alice shrank little at the comments upon
the rich uncle and her own good fortune
in the "first-rate match"
But just before the wedding day lii.
tie note was brought to Alice by gor
geous footman, who vas driven to her
aunt's behind private carriage. The
note was from Malcolm, and begged her
to come to him in the carriage.
Wondering, but obedient, Alice was
speedily ready, and was driven to hand
some house, where the door was opened
to usher her into u stylish drawing-room,
where q gentleman awaited her, and NAL
colin advancing said: "My uncle HUI
bert, Alice"
Kindly blue eyes looked into her own,
withered hands were extended and a
voice she knew well, said "We are old
friends, Malcolm. Are we not, Alice!'
Then, before she could answer, the old
man continued: Il have thought, Alice,
that it was unkind to have my nephew
wait for my death before sharing in my
wealth. have borne curse of distrast
in my heart for many years, thinking my
money won me all the affection, save
Malcolm's, that was offered me; but
though you were we'll content to wed the
young clerk and put your own patrimony
into his home, you must not refuse my
heir, who has accepted from me an in'
come that makes him independent, and
this home"
"N1y love for Malcolm can bear riches
or poverty was the answer; ''but, sir,
our home needs you. You will come,
will you not, to the children, who will
try to make your life happy by loving
care? Long before knew you Malcolm
told me he hoped, when he had home,
to win you to live in it. Will you let
me. too. beg of you to come to u.s."
"Gladly, child! gladly" the old man
said.
II understand now" Alice said to
Malcolm, "why you wanted to wait
until after the wedding to take our
house. You wanted to surprise me-"
"Iassure you am as surprised as you
are, though it was Uncle Herbert who
persuaded me to wait"
So where the rich, lonely man had
feared to lose the one love of his life, he
gained another tenderer, sweeter love to
brighten his declining years by daugh-
ter's devotion and affection.

while his wife supcrintends the service,
perhaps with the assistance of a matre

the sale of articles connected with his

has usually his wife as cashier. French
