languidly of the
heat.
Out on Rosine square, where every
house opened on the street, and where
one might chat with the neighborhood
from one's own doorway, discussion
ran high. M. Jacques, the shoemaker,
had observed that rain was at hand,
whereupon Vasson, the jeweler, had
seen fit to sneer. "Uain," he repeated
scornfully; "mafoi! a storm, more like

"IHste!" said monsieur-, "mademoi

"the course of true love sometimes
does run smooth."

"A prince! and why should a paltry

'You know. I need not tell you."

IT IS AN INFLUENTIAL FACTOR IN
THE AFFAIRS OF MAN.
"Men often laugh at sentiment," said
Senator Vest in receut speech, "but
sentiment controls the world. " This
fact is apt to be overlooked in the multi
plicity and the pressure of practical and
sordid ruanifentutiuns. The battle of life
is so much a matter of adjusting stub

lose sight of tho sentimental side of
things, and come lo tho belief that we
are entirely emancipated from tliu rule
of fancy and emotion Hut the truth is
that tho influence of sentiment remains,
and we all are subject to it. more or less,
consciously or uucoDscieusly. It is all
very well to assert that imaginniinn is
Dot a safe guide, and that the art of get

herence to the methods of prose and com
uion sense. Nevertheless, sentiment
creeps into all of our calculations and
stays there, and when the proper occasion
comes it asserts its sovereign force and
has its way in spite of practical circutn
stances. We are not given over to the
cold and hard philosophy which shuts
