Ufo in Iarl.
A Taris correspondent of the Now York
UlmrDur gives us this view of lifo iu that
wonderful city :
How uiuuli docs it cost to livo in Purts?
Wliv thtro is uo city in Hit; world where
inoucy slips away faster tlmu it docs here, !
I...I .1...... :.. .... .ww..l r-C or.nnAi.lr uu mnol. '
for mere ''hoard and lodging" us in New
Vork or any other American city. ; I am
assured by u resident litre, who has made
himself perfectly familiar with the. ways
and means of Paris, that there are many
gentlemen, ollieers under Government, lite
rary uieu, titled men, auu men wuo move in
the very highest circles, attending the most
ani-tocratic parties,
and being on the best
footing with the best society, whoso entire ' and. the New,) coutains 14 books, 183 chup
income in not $000 a year 1 On this they I ters, 15,0S1 verses, 152,185 words.
dress well, uny .their real and buy their
food, and often lay up money besides!
How can they do it V To get an nnswer,
you must take the facts into account which
I have iust mentioned.
Uy going up in tlio
world, to tho highest floor ot tlio many
dwellings built for tenants, you may get a
turnished room for a franc (twenty cents)
a day and even less. In fact many of tho
lino iiouso9 on fashionable streets have upper
stories where the poorest of the poor hiro
lodgings fur a few cents per night.' But 1
an speaking only for the respectable class
of people with very limited incomes. Iu
the middle of tho forenoon, or as I have
often seen them, at twelve, noon, and even
Hftei wards, they take their breakfast; con
sisting of bread and coll'eo orcoaimon wine.
ThU breakfast uiuy be hud ut a decent res
taurant for livo cents, or sous, aud it will
be as much as a man requires. All over
Puris there are restuui'smls w here a full din
ner is furnished for. 40, or i35, or even 30
cents. For this sum you get a dish of aoup,
two ilisiies of meat, breud, a dessert aud
wiue. One mau, w ho was once a butcher,
has established several restaurants, in vari
ous parts of the city, and is prosecuting the
experiment of feeding tho greatest possible
number at the least cost and a fuir prolit.
lie now tmoriuins ten thousand every day,
uud ut some of his tublcs a good dinner may
be hud fur less than twenty cents. I have
not yet dined at any of these cheap estab
lishments, but ns soon as my courage nnd
appetite uie equal to the undertaking, I nin
going through u system of economical di
etetics, uud" will umke un honest report of
the result. And even if we allow our friend
with an income of SfoOO a year to indulge
in the luxury of u room at two francs, a
a dinner at two francs and breakfast ut ouo
franc, he ia spending only a dollar a day
and has plenty left to dress like a prince;
that id to dress as a gentleman should.
These figures are higher thau were given to
mo, as the cost ofliviug ou a little in Paris,
and indeed, I am afraid to put it as low as
it was put to me. When Pat wrote home
that ho had meat threo time a week in
America, his employer asked hira if he didn't
have it three times a dny. ,'Yis, yur honor,
but don't you think I wuut to bo behived."
1 waut my ftory to bo buhwod, and there
fore keep it, w ithin the HmiU of tho truth.
Aud if the family do not wuh to resort to

! Women Voting In New Jersey.
During the debate in the Senate a fow
days ngo, on Cowan's amendment to strike
out the word "male" in tho Franchise bill
for the District of Columbia, inquity was
made of Mr. Frelinghuyscn whether women
ever voted in New Jersey.' II is reply ad
mitted that they onco did so "in local elec
tions." But the fact is that, for mauy years,
women were recognized there as voters on
precisely the amo terms as men. Lucy
btone and II. B. Blackwcll, citizens of New
Jersey, have tnado an investigation, the re
sult of which is remarkable, and proves that
previously to 1776 only men voted, but
that, in 1770, the original State Constitution
conferred tho franchise on "all inhibitanls"
(men or women, white or black) possessing
tho prescribed qualifications of '50 clear
estate and twelve months residence, and
this Constitution remained in force until
1844. In 1790 the Legislature, in an act
regulating elections, used the words "ho or
sho" in reference to voters. In 1797, an
other act relntive to elections repeatedly
designates the voters as "he or sho." In
the same year, 1797, 75 women voted in
Elizabethtown for the Federal candidate.
In 1800 women generally voted through uk
the State in the Presidential contest beiv: cn
Jefferson and Adams. In 1802 a member
of the Legislature from Hunterdon County
was actually elected, in a closely contested
election, by the votes of two or three wo
men of color. In 1807, at a local election
in Essex County tor the location of the
county seat, meu and women generally par
ticipated, und were jointly implicated in
very extensive frauds. In the following
Winter of 1807-8, the Legislature, in viola
tion of the term's of the Constitution, passed
an act restricting sulfrage to free, white,
male, adult citizens, and in reference to
these virtually abolished the property quali
fication of 50, thus extending it to all
whito male tax-payers, while excluding all
women and negroes. In ' 1820, tho same
provision were repeated and remained un
changed uutil the adoption of the present
Constitution in 1844.
It thus appears that women and negroes
possessed aud exercised tho right unques
tioned under tho Constitution of New Jer
sey from 1770 to 1807, 81 years, and that
from 1807 until 1844 they possessed the
right, but were arbitrarily deprived of its
exercise 37 years more. This is. wo believe,
a fact unparallcd in the political history of
the world, and was probably duo to the
strong Quaker influence in West Jersey,
then, as usual, exerted in behalf of Equul
Bights. New Jersey enjoys, wo believe,
the distinction of having been tho first State
which conferred upon all its citizens equal
political privileges, without restriction of
sex, or color. Acie York Tribune.

Go with us to the public houses, where a
number of young meu ure assembled. All is
life and gaiety. A few among them may bo
young and timid. They approach the coun
ter, and wino, rum, brandy are called for.
Ouo or two may stand back, nnd say, uo,
gcutletucn, we do not drink ; please excuse
us. Immediately the rest turn and begin to
tauut their friends who refuse to drink, say
ing they aro ufraid of getting "tight," of the
"old man," and somo whisper uudibly, "Well,
they are tucaii fellows; they aro atraid they
will have to spend a cent 1" Hero you sec
two very seusitive nerves are touched
Courage aud Cleverness. Their bosoms
swell with pride; .rather than bear these
Uiugs of their companions, they step up to
tho counter und join in tho revelry. Tho ice
is now broken, the first great net of the
drama performed. Others follow in tiutural
order, until the individual who refused to
drink at first, reels along tho public 6treet
without shame.
Such is the manner in which thousands of
our promising young men are led away by a
false ambition ; and thousands inure will
follow in their path uuleas they lcaru the
meaning of courage.
We have in our mind a number of noble
hearted, good-meaning men, who do not
possess strength enough to face opposition.
Bather than bo called mean they will follow
up these habits of drinkiug uutil their appe
tites become uncontrollable.
We advise you, young men, when you are
in company, aud solicited to drink iutuxicat
iug liquors, to say fraukly an l (h-cidelly
that you do not indulge iu such things, und
you conunaud their respect, and tln-y will
be forced to admit that your courage is suf
ficient to bear ull their tuuuts aud not yield
the right. Those who stem the tide always
meet opposition ; but never despair press
onward. Our ouly hope of rescuing tho race
from this brutal, nlavisU passion rests with
the young. Will you, young friends, have
couruge, true, high and God like courage, to
face this growing evil and banish it from
our laud. .
Something rou Skatkus. A couteuipo
rary says ;
We have a word of advico to young ladies
who may go on a skating trip. Don't go
with cotton hose and cloth boots, but put
on woolen hose and high and heavy leather
boots, well lapsed up to support your ankles
and to keep your feet warm ; for no others
are fit for use with a pair of skates. Go
warmly clad, and carry an extra shawl or
cloak, ami when you ceaso skating for a few
moments, put the extra garment on, and lay
it aside when you again commence skating.
In this way you will avoid taking cold and
war off chills, fever, coughs aud other evila
arising from over exertion and standing ex
posed to the. chilling blasts which sweep
across our ponds during the winter mouths.
The next important thing to be atteudod
to, is to get a pair of good fitting skates,
that can be securely fastened to the foot
without producing pain or stopping tbe cir
culation of blood, and all this can be secured
by a little attention at the beginning. After
skating a short time, loosen the straps of tbe
skate ; and in cate a sensatioa of Dumbness
is full, although you may not have beeu upon
the skates but tea minutes, looseu the straps
immediately, und allow the blood to circulate
freely in the foot, or great injury may arise,
perhaps the freezing of the feet. Great euro
should lo exercised in this respect by new
beginners. : We throw out these brief biuts
for the benefit of those who bave not been
accustomed to tbe beautiful and Invigora
ting exercise of skating. . i
. bkating will prove a beautiful and plea
sant exercise,, provided-the above simple
rules are observed otherwise a train of evils
may follow which may result io lasting ip
jury. A word to the i is suflicieut, .

A story is told of an old lady who lived
noar Rochester, who had never seen or trav
elled on a railroad. Wanting to go on a
visit to a small town a short distance from
the city, she thought she would try ono of
tho pesky things. So sho went to the ticket
office,' carrying her reticule on ono arm and
an old fashioned rocking chair on the other.
She bought her ticket, walked out on the
platform, put down her rocking chair, sat
down in it, took out her kuitting and went
to work diligently. Steadily sho rocked
and worked, trains coming in and leaving
as the car time came around. The old lady
made no attempt to get on the cars, but
kept knitting. . ,
The day drew to a close, and night came
on. The last train was about starting, when
tho depot muster went up and asked her if
sho was going out.
"Yes, sir,""rcplied the old lady.
"Hadn't you better get aboard and secure
a seat ?" said tho depot master.
"Thank you, sir, I am very comfortable,"
replied the elderly dame.
The train left. The master came round
again. "Madam, I shall havo to disturb
you ; it is late, the trains have all left, and
wo must close the depot. Shall I send you
to a hotel l"
"Well," exclaimed tho old lady, dropping
her knitting aud holding up her hands,
"ain't the thing goiug to move I Hure I
brought my chair from home so as to havo
a scat on which somo pesky mnn couldn't
squeeze himself. I've set here all day wait
iu' for the thing to go, and here I've had
all my trouble for nothing. I thought it
was a long time moving. I declare that
theso here railroads is tho biggest nuisance
and hum bug as ever was I" and tho old
lady, with bag on one arm and rocking
chair on the other, gave a toss of her head
and marched off iu high indignation.
She mistook the depot for the cars, aud
expected to travel in it.

hour of idlo time, some to hear tho new

Some go to show their bonnets, some to see
their fiiends, some to flirt. "Some go to
gossip with their neighbors, and somo as a
respite trom their labors, borne go trom an
inward sense of duty, and some from an
outwurd senso of beauty. Some go to church
because they're made to, and Bonie go there
because they're 'fruid to do otherwise, wo
suppose. J Some go to sing, some go to
sleep, somo go to gaze, and some to weep.
