BEFORE HIS HOUR OF GLORY
That Memorable June Day
in French History.

While we were spending our time IN
a rather vagabond manner the TWEEN
tieth of June arrived. We met by ap
pointment at a restaurateur' in the
Rue ST. Honore, near the Palais
Royal, to take one OF our daily ram
bles On going out we saw mob ap-
preaching in the direction of the mar
ket, which Bonaparte estimated at five
or six thousand men. They were
rabble of blackguards ludicrously
armed with weapons of every descrip-
ton, and shouted while they proceed
ed rapidly toward the Tuileries, vocif-
Grating all kinds of gross abuse. 1t
was a collection of all that was vilesS
in the purlieus of Paris.
Let us follow the mob" said Bona
parte.
We got the start of them and took
up our station on the terrace along the
river. 1t was there that he witnessed
the scandalous scenes which took
place, and it would be difficult to de-
scribe the surprise and indignation
which they excited in him. When the
king showed himself at the windows
overlooking the garden with the red
cap which one of the mob had put on
his head he could no longer repress
his indignation. What stupidity! he
loudly exclaimed. why have they
let in all that rabble? They should
knock off 400 or 500 Of them with the
cannon. the rest would take them
selves off fast enough"
When we sat down to dinner, which

the richer of the two, he spoke of moth
ing but the scene we had witnessed
He discussed with great good sense the
causes and consequences of this unre-
pressed instruction. He foresaw and
developed with sagacity all that would
follow. He was not mistaken

the art of swimming, a fact which
explains the smooth round muscles
of swimmers and their freedom from
old-age wrinkles. A weak or tired
heart secures a much-needed rest and
thereby is strengthened after an easy
swim. Swimming makes women ro-

drowning, but they are enormous, and

there are fewer young persons who
learn to swim than years ago. when
almost every boy in town or country

A New England clergyman of abil-

years, and his son, of five summers,
has rarely seen him in the pulpit. Re-

but, even admitting the fact that an
ticipation is not always the part of
wisdom. there is no questioning the
fact that it is very delightful to be
unwise in this way at times. If are did
not look forward to what is to come
with hearts full of hope and expec-

some of the harder days Of life! If
we did not depend in so large meas

we hope to overcome our discourage

In an action to recover rent for the use
of land the petition alleged that the plain
defendant was a tenant holding over under
an oral lease. The defendant answered
the claim for rent, asserting that upon a
proper accounting nothing would be found
to be due, but expressed a Willingness and
desire to pay any balance which might be
found against him. The defendant further
answered to this effect: The plaintiff who
was the defendants father n-law, offered
the land to the defendant and his wife to
take, improve, and make their home, the
ter. Rent was to be paid to the plaintiff
during his natural life. A certain rent was
reserved for the first two years which
was then to be reduced for the future. The
defendant and his wife accepted the plain
tiff's offer, moved on the land, have ever
since occupied 1T as their home, and have
placed improvements upon it to the value
of from $1,000 to $1,000. The prayer was
that the defendants wife be made party,
that the court determine the true character
of the contract with the plaintiff and his
wife. that his wife be adjudged to have
the equitable title to the land, and that the
plaintiff be required to carry out the con-
tract in which such title originated. The
