THE PARSON'S JOKE.

A -clergyman, a widower, menUy created quite a sensation In his houaehold, which consisted of aeven grown-up daughters. The reverend gentleman was absent from home a number of daya, viaiting m an adjoining county. Tne daughters received a letter from their j father, which elated that he had married , • wlduwwlth six sprightly children, and, that he might be expected home *at a certain time. The effect of that news was • great shock to the happy family. Tae glrli, noted for their meekness nnd ammbla temperaments, seemed another act of beings ; there was weepin?, and wMllng, and tearing of h^ir, and all manner of naughty things were »ald. The tidy home was neglected, and when the day of arrival came tha house was anything but Inviting. At last the Rev Mr X. came ; but he was •lone. He greeted his daughtera as usual, and, as he viewed the neglected apartments there wsa a merry twinkle of his eye. The d«nahtera were nervous and evidently anxlopv ;At : fasjb th4yeldest mustered eiurajte atid; asked : ♦ Where is our mother V * In heaven,' aald the good man. # ♦But where la the widow with bu childre- whom you wrote yon had married V • Why, I married her to another man, my dears,' he replied, delighted at the success of hit joke

CURIOUS DOCUMENTS

Some carious documents jast found In the archives of the Prefecture of Polioe throw an interesting and instructive light on the manner In which the streets of Parla were guarded during the night In the «ixteenth century. To begin with, there were stringent rules to the effeot tlfat each house should only have one door and ahonld be regularly inhabited. This being the case, it was a compara tively easy task to order that the dwellers m the different houses should m turn keep an eye on what was going on m their respective streets. They are not com pelled to tramp up and down the pavement like the modern polloeman ; the authori ties were aatiaaed if they looked through their windows and watched all that was gptag-on below. If the slightest cry were *ralafld they opened their wlcdowi and ring their bells antil their neighbor* followed suit. The alarm spread from street to street, and aoon ail the bells m Paris were ringing, the windows were lit up, the inhabitants, armed to the teeth, tallied forth, barring the road to the malefactors, who were almost always arrested. I need hardly explain that the Paris of those days was Lilliputian m comparison with what It is now; but what ,#n uncomfortable way they had of keeping the peace m the sixteenth century ! The remedy was positively worse than the disease, for it was bard that the Inhabitants of one street should be awakened out of their first Bleep because the dwellers m a remote avenue imagined that something wrong was going on. One would fancy that In some quarter or another some noise at least must have been made every night. Tne slumbers of the Parisians generally, mast often hare been wcfully curtailed, not to speak of the volunteer watchmen, for whom •♦ all night sittings" were a stern reality.
