Some time ago I fell in love With pretty Mary Jane, And I did hope that by and by She'd loVe me back again. AlasI my hopes a-dawning bright, Were all at once made dim; She saw a chap, I don't know where, And she fell in love with him. Next time I went-(now how it was I don't pretend to say) Bat when my chair moved up to hers, Why, hers would move away. Before I always got a kiss (I own with some small fuss,) But now, forsooth, for love or fun, 'Tis non-come-at-a-buss. Well, there we sat, and when we spoke, Our conversation dwelt On everything beneath the sun Except what most we felt. Enjoying this delightful mood, Who then should just step in But he, of all the world whom I Had rather see than him. And he could sit down by her side. And she coul4-al I the while He pressed her hand within -his own Upon him sweetly smile; And she- could pluck a tose for him, So fresh and bright and red, And gave me one which hours before Was shrunk and pale and dead. And she could freely, gladly sing The song he did request: The ones [asked were just the ones She always did detest. I rose to leave-she'd be so glad To have me longer stay! No doubt of it! No doubt they wept To see me go away! I sat me down-I thought profound This maxim wise I drew; 'Tis easier far to like a girl Than make a girl like you. But after all, I don't believe My heart will break with woe; If she's a mind to love the chap, Why, bless her, let her go! BIROADBRIM'S FIRST LET TER FROM PARIS. Departure from London-Arrival in Paris How the city looks before the opening The Grand Exposition-Champs Elysees -History of the Champ-de-Mari Experience at a Paris Bestan rent. "Seventeen and six pence you we for hextra luggage," said the orter of the Golden Cross Hotel, as he deposited my trunk from his ead beside the baggage car of the rain on which I was about to start for Paris ; "that's wat-they harges you and they won't take no ess; Four dollars and a half !" You don't mean it," said I, almost hite with rage. "That's wot they xs," he quietly replied, "we knws hits a himposition but they ot us on the ip-and we kant elp ourselves, you know ;-and be sides you remember that you ouldn't like to carry it to Paris ourself for seventeen and six pence il the way. I paid the bill be ause, as my friend sagely re narked, there was no help for hit, ad got in just as the train was starting. The run down to Folk ston was made in a couple of hours, assing Chisselhurst on the way where the ex-Emupress Eugenia and her son reside, and also where re ose the ashes of the late unfor unate Emperor of France. A dirty ittle steamer, with meager accom odations for about thirty or for ty, was the floating prison of over three hundred miserable tourists whose tickets were labeled first class, butit struck me as being a first lass swindle. The deck was piled with baggage, and every .nook, where you could stow a passenger, was ornamented with a blue-nose tourist who shivered and shook in the chill damp sea air from which there was no shelter and no es cape, and who undoubtedly wished himself in Jericho ; before ever be had been fool enough to leave his own comfortable home to wander in foreign parts. Boulogne sur-Mer was reached after two uncomfor table hours and at once you real ized that you are in a foreign land. Everything is different from what you have been used to, the people are different, ponderous carts driven by women roll along the streets, and lubberly looking craft, first cousins to Noah's Ark, lie along side the wharf, or are anchored in the stream. Here you see woman in her lowest .and most miserable estate ; as far as the labor of pov erty can make her, she is coarse, hard featured and hand handed. The distnctive lines between her and the man seem to be completel blotted out; she labors beside hin on the highway and in the field and too often sinks.into a state o: abject misery and slavery for bia beside which the condition of th( Russian serf was paradise. Paris was reached just at nighi and such a Bable of confusion car be found nowhere else on thE earth. Turks, Dutchmen, Irish. men, Englishmen and Yankees, seemed each desirous of howling the other down, all wanting theit baggage at the same time and al] unable to get it. Occasionally an Italian or a Spaniard would chip in, and the general result bore a close resemblance to the mosaic ac count of the original confusion of tongues. At last each man and woman got his, or her own, and departed though not in peace, while I having secured at least a shelter for the night, wandered out down the Rae de la Paix to the Place Vendome, along the Rue Rivoli to the glittering won, ders of the Palais Royal which recall the dreams of the Arabian nights and the golden caverns of Alladin. No wonder the French man clings to Paris, and even when exiled in' a foreign land still looks to her as the Moslem looks to the tomb of the PrQphet, or the Christian to the sepulcher of Christ. There is but one Paris monuments of greatness and glory ; works of dazzling beauty and art have survived the horrors of the revolution, the iron heel of the in vader, the torch of the petroleuse, and the savage barbarity of the Commune. The blackened walls and desolate windows of her proud est palace are still a standing menace of that terrible power which has inscribed on her trium phal arches and her gates; Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite. The marks of race and grade seem here un altered and unalterable, the blouse of the ouvrier is the same in cut ma color as those which, less than a hundred years ago, covered the acks of the red battalions who houted Pour la Patrie over the rins of the Bastille. Go where ou will, the glories of the dead mpire overtop and dwarf the iving realizations of the struggling nfant Repulic, whose life even ow may possibly be numbered by ays or hours. Whatever you see r hear is kingly and royal The alaces, the squares, the parks, the fountains, the wonderous works of rt, even the policemen in the treets wear their gew gaw orders ; orters 'and hackmen bear about hem the ensigns of their trade, here is no degradation or humilia tion about this, for the workman is s proud of his blue blouse as the Dc of the cross of Saint-Louis, or he soldier of the Legion of Honor. The glittering helmet and breast late of the cuirassier, and the triking uniforms of the different army corps are distinctive features in the social landscape of Paris which tell of that love of pomp, parade and display, which finds its ost magnificent exposition under the shadow of the -throne. Even while I write, there is a feeling of insecurity and unrest which rum bles like the low thunder of a smothered volcano. Only the other day, in the very presence of the soldiers, some workmen shou,ted for the Empire and called on their dbrethren to join them. The revolt was instantly suppressed and the ringleaders at once arrested. But the episode tells of a power which is neither dead nor sleeping, but which watches with keen and sleep less eyes for the coming of .that hour when the hope of vengeance shall be washed out in blood, and the dream of '71 shall be more than realized in thi glories of the new revolution. Still Paris was never more gay than at present. The true Frenchman chants his lively carol. from the Opera-Bouffe as he strols through the Champs-Elysees or down Rue des Italiens. The cafes chantants, the theatres and public gardens are nightly thronged with visitors. The threat thai there shall be no Exposition has been publicly made, and there are thousands in Paris to-day who be live it will never take place, mean while the preparations go rapidly fo.rwrd the republic being ani ious to show the world that it can eclipse the glory of the Empire. No representation yet given to the public can give even a remote idea of the grandeur of some of the Exposition buildings, the magnifi cent structure on the Trocad -o being exceptionally grand and im posing. In the main building on the Champ de Mars, the portion erected by municipality of Paris will be exceedingly beautiful and costly; much remains to be done ; at the time of the opening there will be many departments incom plete but from present appearances I should judge that the exhibition is likely to be a wonderful success There is only one thing that can militate against it and that is the same thing that killed the Exhibi tion at Vienna, namely the desire of the people to fleece all the rest of the world. Everything seems to have taken a sudden- and terribi le rise; every man or woman who las a couple of rooms to let expects to pake a fortune in the next six months and then retire from busi ness. Thousands of people are pouring in here from every portion of the world. On the Champs Elysees of an afternoon you can see every variety of costume from the pig-tail of a Chinaman to furs of a Laplder, Just now spring is ended and summer is about to be gin and all of the lovely out door gardens with their brilliant and at tractive entertainments are nightly thronged with thousands upon thousands who appear to think that life was made for nothing but pleasure. Go where you will, how ever, the guardhouse and the bar rack stare you in the face behind which dwells the power which keeps all in peace and order. Soldiers meet you at every turn, policemen guard every corner, the velvet glove scarcely hides the iron hand beneath it. They are, -wise men who govern France now, aye and good men too, they know that authority is only respectable as long as it has the power behind it to enforce its decree. The Champ-de-Mars spot selected~ for the site of the Great Exposition is rich in the grandest associations that cluster around the kingdom. the Empire and the Republic. Away back in the twilight of time tradition informs us that the Druids here -held their sacrificial rites. and later still the Romans had here ereated a temple to their war god ; the foundation of which was nearly on the site of the present Ecole-Militaire. It was here that Attila encamped with his savage Huns, and from the brow of the hill looked down on the infaut city, then on the little island in the mid die of the Seine, whose destruction he meditated and whose capture he anxiously hoped. Here a magnifi cent review was held on the oc casion of the marriage of Henry of Navarre with the sister of King~ Charles the Ninth, and on the night of the terrible massacre of Saint Bartholomew in 1572 it was here that a little band of Huguenots, un der Jean ?jerre Lescure, made their last desperate stand, and fought till the blood of the last I-ero red dened the angry waters of the Seine. When the revolution opened the Champ-de-Mars was a favorite meeting place for the multitude. It was in front of the Ecole-Mili taire that the unfortunate Louis the Sixteenth took the oath to the new Constitution,-the same con stitution by which a few months after he was condemned to the scaffold. On that occasion Talley rand officiated as bishop of Autun, assisted by four hundred priests, and over 100,000 persons witnessed the ceremony. In 1790 over sixty thousand Parisians gave their grat - itous labor for several weeks in leveling the grassy slopes an'd rais ing the embankments that for-med the Champ-de-Mars. Here the First Napoleon took the oath to another constitution which was scattered to the winds on the proclamation of the Empire. During the brilliant years that followed Napoleon's as sumption of the purple, army after army was encamped here, the most magnificent military pageant everi seen in France, being the depar tre of the-Grand Army foi the invasion of Russia. -Jn 1830, it was ere Tons-Phillin. distributed the standards to the national guard, and in 1852 the last Emperor Louis Napoleon presented to the army the Eagle standards which had bee n carried by his uncle triumphant over Europe. In 1870, Louis Na-' roleon held here his last review assuring his soldiers of an easy victory pver the enemies of France, and he led them ont amid the vivas of thousands to see his last hope extingnished in blood on the dis astrous field of Sedan. Let us hope that the peaceful use to which it is dedicated now may be but the dawn of a better day for France; a day of peace and prosperity, and rest when the sword shall be beaten into the ploughshare and the spear hcad into the reaping hook, and men shall learn the art of war no more. A person who has been absent from Paris for twtnty years will scarcely know it. Many of the old streets have entirely dis appeared, and in their places grand avenues and boulevards have been cut, fit for the abode of kings. These improvements have been carried out at frightful cos., and the result is the most beautiful city and the most enormously taxed city on the face of the earth. France is gay, but she dances under the weight of a national d@bt, that would create a rolutionin England or the United States.

This worthy man was the so. of a poor statesman, and was tLe youngest of twelve. At the age of seventeen he became a vil!a_ue schoolnaster, and a little latcr both minister and schoolmaster. Before and after school-hours he labored at manual occupation, riVng between three and four in the summer, and working in the fields with the scythe or sickle. He ploughed, he plant ed, tended sheep, or clipped and salved, all for hire ; wrote his own sermous, and did his duty zit chapel twice on Sundays. In all these labors he excelled. In win ter-time he occupied himself in reading, writing his own ser mons, spinning, aid making his oLn clothes and those of his fain ily, knitting and mending his own stockings, and waking his own shoes, the leather of which was of hiN own tanning. Iu his walks he never neglected to gather and bring home the wool from the bedges. He was also the phy sician and lawyer of his parish oners; drew- up theiI wills, con veyances, bonds, &c., wrote all their letters, and settled their ac ,ounts, and often went to market vith sheep or wool for the far mers. He ma:ried a respectable maid 3ervant, who brought him forty ?ounds; and shortly afterwards le became curate of Seathwaite, wvhere he lived and officiated for iixty-seven years. We are told that Phen his family wanted cloth, be )ften took the ,pinning-wheel nto the school-room. where he Iso kept a cradle-of course of ais own making. Not unfre juently the wheel, the cradle, and ,he scholars all claiming his atten ion at the same moment, taxed ;he ingenuity of this wonderful nan to keep them all going. To 0l these attainments Mr. Walker -"or Wonderful Walker," as he ,vas called-also added a knowledge >f fossils and planits, and a "habit" >f observing the stars and'winds. :n summer be also eollected va -ious inseets, and by his enter ,aining descriptions of them Lmused anid instructed his chil Iren. After a long and extremely iseful,-mnay we might say heroic ife, which extended over nearly he whole of the last century (he raving been born in 1709,) this emarkable Dalesman died on the ~5th of June 1782, in the netf-. hird year of his age. . In the ourse of life he had, besides >ringing up and settling in life a amily of t welve children, amassed he sum of two thousand pounds, he result of marvellous industry mnd self-denial. Thbe chapel w here this celebrated nan entered upon his sacred luties .was the smallest in the )ales, the poet Wordsworth, Mr. Yalker's biographber; describing it ,s scarcely larger than many of ,h fragments of rock lying near t. Most of these small chapelries vere presided over by "readers," nen whbo generally exercised the ,rades of clogger, tailor, and but ,er-print maker, in order to eke >adt their small stipend. The liv ngs were not worth more than wo or three pounds a year, and ~he ministers were dependent up >n the voluntary coutributions of heir parishioners. Their stipends, >esides the small money-pay nent mentioned above, comprised 'clothes yearly and whittlegate." ['he former meant one suit of dlothes, two pair of shoes, and one pair cf clogs; and the latter, two >r three weeks' victuals at each douse according to the ability of the inhabitants, which was settled imong themselves; so that the minister could "go his course" as regularly as the sun, and com plete it annually. Few houses baving more than one or two knives, he was obliged to carry his own knife or "whitled." He marched from house to house, and as master of the flock, had the el: bow-chair at the table-head. Some remarkable scenes were often tbe result of this droll arrangement, a,nd many good stories are curren t with refe.rence to it. A story is told in Whythburn .of a minister who ha but two sermons, which he preached in turn. The walls of the chapel were at that time 1uplastered, and the sermons were lsua!iy placed in a hole in the wall behind the pulpit. On Sun day, before thc service began, sOIe wag pushed the sermons so far into the hle that they could not be got out with the band. When the time for the Fermon had arrived, the minister tried in vain to get them out. He then turned to the congregation and said that he cou!d touch them with his forefinger, but couldn't get his thumb in to grasp them. "But however," said he, "I. will read you a chapter of Job instead, and that's worth both of them put together!" COOLEY'S CONUNDRUM. Cooley's memory is very treach erous, and it often gets him into trouble. The other night be was at a tea party at Smith's, and while the company sat around the supper table,- Cooley suddenly concluded be would eject a conun. drtim he bad beard somewhere, and so in an interval of silence, he said: "I've got a pretty good conun drum I'd like you to guess. Can any body tell me why a druggist, who keeps his bottles down stairs is like a certain kind of musician ?" Everybody at once began to guess the answer, and Cooley sat there for a moment smiling. Pre sently, however, he thought he would get the answer ready, in order to give it, and to his intense alarm found that he had forgotten it. He began to feel warm. He thought the object over with all his might and he nearly had the answer several times, but, it al ways eluded him. Then he be came warmer and the perspiration beg~an to stand out upon his fore head. The company gave it up one after the other and as they did so, each one asked Cooley what the answer was, Cooley smiled a ghastly kind of a smile as if he was keeping it back to torment them, but the singular redness of his face and the peculiar behavior attracted the attention of every body, and the more they looked at him the .redder he got, and the more profuse became t-he per spiration. "Come Mr. Cooley," said the host, "we are all waiting for an answer." "Out with it, Cooley," said another "Cooley, we can't be happy until we have an an swer to that conundrum," re marked a third. C%oley would have given millions, at that mo muent, to have been hidden in the bowels of ~the Mammoth Cave utof sight. At last he exclaimed: "T he-ah--the--ah-fact is, that -ah-the affair-that is the con aindrum-the whole thing, your bonor, is a joke. There is no an swer to it, your honor." Then everybody said that they didn't see anything very amusing about jokes of such a character, a.nd Smith frowned ; while Cooley beard the man say next to his neighbor, that the man (Cooley) must be drunk., Then Cooley rose suddenly from the table and bolted out through the front door. About two hours afterward, a hi lehe was in bed, he all at once re membered the answer, and he in stantly arose and went 'round to Smith's. After ringing the door bell for half an hour, old Smith p.ut his head out of the bedroom window. "I know it now," shouted Coo ley ; "I know it. It's because he has a vial-in-cellar !" "Go to thunder !" ejaculated Smith, as he shut the, window with a slam and went to bed. And now the Cooley's don't speak to thbe Smith's, and old Cooley carries the answers to his conundrums written on his shirt cuffs, when he goes into company, so as to be certain that he will have theta when they are wanted.
