A French ltomanoe. :HOW A RIGH MAN BECAMEA WORKMAN AND T E GREAT REWARD HE HAD FOR •DO1NO 80 One of those little romances of which' he .Trench are so fond has lately taken place . in .Paris, and is thus described :--- M. Robert, an immensely wealthy nd highly accomplished gentleman, well-kno mot only for hisvaluablecollections of paint- dngs and medifeval relics, but for his skill as a designer and painter, hearing that one of his tenants, a Mr. B., whom he had never seen, kept the most extensive manuf to - ries of fancy boxes and ornamental obj cts in France, `called on hire with a view to make acquaintance. Entering the counting -room- he found good-natured, eccentric gentleman of middle ,age, who greeted him thus :— " I —"I suppose you haveseen my advertise- ment. and have come to apply for that situ- ation as a designer i" , i"or a joke, M. Robert replied that he had. Mrd B., supplied him with paints and brush- es, and requested him to produce a design for a casket. M. Robert soon found out that what Mr. B. really waned was an ar- tist who would strictly carry Out -his own ideas, and that these were pure, and formed on an extensive knowledge of art. He soon produced a sketch which suited his employ- er to a dot. . M. Robert very gravely engaged himself, .,exacted good wages, and .insisted on ha 'ng several new articles of furniture placed in the room which was assigned to him. 13ut when he was introduced to the work-roo and found one hundred and fifty girls, mi of them..young and beautiful, busily empl ed and was informed that he would be -spired to supply them with designs and sl the 'young ladies how they were to be ried out, the young artist began to feel if he should be carried oilt himself. " Working for a living," said he to_ =self. "is not entirely devoid of attracti Being an accomplished artist, he plea phis employer, and was delighted in see his designs in steel. silver, enamel or we Ile took pleasure, hitherto un known, in ing his work in the shop windows, in boudoirs of his friends. This workshop was carefully concealed, nor did his emp eer suspect who he was. But ho soon fo a more fascinating object in the daught: Mr. B , who took part in the duties o manufactory. She was remarkable in accomplishments and beauty. and M. bert soon found that as regarded taste culture in all,matters which especially terested him, he had never met with like her. Step by step the pair fell in and he so ingratiated himself with th thei that, after due deliberation, he co ted to their union. Previous to the marriage the old (re ;man spoke of the dowry. " I shall Marie 50,000f." said he, with a little a boasting, "Ah, mon garcou `l" "4nd I suppose," added M. Rol gravely, "that I too, must. settle somet -on my, wife. Well—I will." This caused a peel of iaughler, which rredoubled when the artist added:, And I will settle this piece of prop house and all, with the building adjoi: -on her." But what was their astonishment 'hen :.he drew forth the title deeds and sale, .— " You seem to forget that I am ycur land- lord 'I Isn't my name Robert 1" The young lady dicl not faint, but papa :nearly died of astonishment and joy. T;lere was a magnificent wedding, but "the bride- w1.00m has not given up bushes.

A "Gude-Day." itle- ve r of ert, ing was rty, ing, The Scotch are -not a demonstrative race. t. I' do not believe at among the laboring class in Scotland. there is a great awkward- ness -and stiffness in the expression of it. The people.do not give utterance to their emotion like the volatile. Frenchman ; they' have not words to say what they feel , an they would. be ashamed (blate, in their own phrase,) to use these words if they had thew. I have had a touching instance of this within the last few days. Do you re- member our taking a walk together one beautiful afternoon to the cottage of one of my people, a poor fellow who was dying of consumptions You sal upon a stile, I re- collect, and read a proof, while I went in and sat with him fcr a few minutes. It seemed to cheer him a little to have a visit from the laird, and I often went to see him. After you left us he sank gradually—it was just the old story of that hopeless malady— till at last, after a few days in bed, he died. I hate all cant r and ,false pretence ; but there was earnest reality in the simple faith which made my humble friend's last hours so calci and hopeful. When he felt him- self dying, he sent for me, and I went and stayed with him fort ° several hours. The clergyman's house was some miles off; and apart from private regard, it was a part of my duby as an elder of the kirk to go and pray as well as I could with the poor fellow. He was only thirty-two, but he had been married eight or nine years, and he had four little children. After being silent for -a while he said he would like to see them again ; and his wife brought them to his bed -side. I know well that no dying father felt a more hearty affection tor the little things he was leaving lbehind, or a more sincere desire for their welfare after he had left them. • He was not so weak but that he could speak quite distinctly ; : and I thought that he would try and say some- thing to them in the way of'a parting ad- vice, were it only to bid them be good children, and be kind and obedient to their mother. Yet all he did was to shake each of the three elder children by the hand, and to say Gude-Day." As for the youngest, a wee thing of two years old, he said to it. " Will ye gie me a bit kiss !" And the mother lifted up the wondering child to do so. Say Ta-ta to your fevther," she said, " Ta-ta," said- the poor little boy, in a loud cheerful voice, and then ran out of the cot- tage to play with some companions. The story, I feel, is nothing to tell ; but the lit- tle scene affected me much. I believe I have told you the exact words that were said ; and then the dying man turned away his face and closed his eyes, and I saw many tears running clown his thin cheeks. 'I knew it was the very abundance of that poor man's heart that choked his utterance, and 'brought down his last farewell to a commonplace greeting like that which he might have parted from a neighbor for a few hours. Gude-c1a was his farewell for ever ! He fel - that he had so very much to say that he diel not know where to begin it; h.nd so his weary heart shrank from the task, and he said alrnost nothing. T thought how your friend Mr: Tennyson could ha r e interpreted that Gude-day. How much of !unutterable affection—how much of good advice and fatherly warning—how much of prayer for them to the great Father of the orphans—was implied in poor David's Gude-day.—Scotelt, Peculiarities. .� Sane People in Mad -houses. b'' 1 g The papers have lately contained p rti- -eulars of a somewhat singular case. he wife of the Rev.
