francs"
Madam" replied the puzzled cavalier.
81 said 20 francs, monsieur"
II beg your pardon, madame" replied
he, smiling, there is "A misunderstanding
had the honor to ask your hand for a
waltz"
"Ah, you are right, replied the lady,
quickly, "there was a misunderstanding.
l thought YOU asked me for quadrille
but since il is Il waltz ii will be 40 francs. "
More puzzled than ever, the gentleman
waited an explanation, which she gave
him, with a gracious smile "Do you un-
derstand, sir, that | am dancing for the
benefit Of the poor? 1t is one louis for a
quadrille, two for a waltz and no reduC-
tion in price"
At this rate Madame 7 had no lack
OF partners, and bravely ana charltably
danced to the close of the ball Who but
a FrenchwOman would have dreamed Ol

THE INTRODUCTION.--T Psalms
express the sentiments of the human
heart under the various conditions and
experiences Of life. Here Joy, sorrow,
hope, fear, faith, love, gratitude and
reverence are uttered in language that
may be adopted with propriety by men
in all lands and centuries. Jews, Mo-
hammedans and Christians find here
what they need and treasure il above
rubies The two Psalms forming our
lesson today treat the general subject
of DeiiveranCe, and exhibit the
thought and feelings of those who real
ize that God has brought them out
of trouble. 1t will be noticed that in
both Psalms the deliverance is general
or national. referring 10 the return
from captivity, but that a personal or
spiritual deliverance is also mentioned
or sought. We might be disposed to
separate these distinct states but
among the Jews there was great pro-
priety in Joining them together. In
Jewish thought, sin and slavery, right
eousness and prosperity were always
associated. Piety was patriotism
Wickedness was rebellion.

verses is both interesting and instruc-
