Tha Angler of the Seine. The old type of angler, according to Balzac, was silent, meditative and crust;. His descendant is, on the con trary, loquacious, closely observant of everything but his tty and line and care lessly amiable. Who would have dared address the hoary and respected Pierre when in the act of landing for he really used to land something else besides tad poles and old boots or when cajoling with a fish from his time honored corner beneath the Pont Royal? No one, 1 ven ture to say, but the sharp tongued gut ter urchin may chaff the seedy yet im perturbable individual who has succeed ed him, and, what is more, he receives a return volley of repartee garnished with puns. Old Pierre, who was perhaps one of iiw uesi Known figures SO years back on the quays, breakfasted, dined and supped off his takes of 8eine fish, which were mostly dace, carp, barbels and tench. He had a varied assortment of recipes in nut possession, and many i cordon bleu has received a hint fw .Jir. tag the finny tribe from this ancient fish erman.

They can ootn get married and live upon the farm. If they go on with the law pro ceedings, the property will all be frit tered away among the lawyers, who, 1 am sure, are not ungallant enough to wish the marriage not to come off." The lady blushed, and the young man stammered that they "liked each other a little bit," so a verdict was rendered for the plaintiff on the condition of his prom ise to marry the defendant within two months, a stay of execution being put to the verdict till the marriage ceremony should be completei This is about the first couple ever sen tenced to matrimony in a court of law.

Springing up the steps of the platform, he announced that if the person who occupied it would resign his place for a moment In favor of himself he would like to say a few words.
