Do you know what the Temple is ? Ask

will disdainfully answer: "For what
should I know it ?" But if poor, sighing
he will say i "Alas, I do not know it

THE FOUR SQUARES.
The whole of these compartments, bro-
ken through by mnummerable alleys, con
tain 1,888 stands, occupied by 900 incum
bents. In old times a merchant could oc
cupy as many places as he desired, but
now, four is the maximum.
The stands are rented by the week, at
the price of 47 cents ; forty-two cents for
the city and five cents for the twelve
watchmen who day and night guard the
market. In an aggregate, the Temple
brings annually $40,000 to the municipal
administration.
The first square, the most renowned be
cause of its fancy and luxuirous objects, is
called the Palais Royal. Here and there
maybe found merchant women that are
young, pretty, and even polite with peo
ple buying without cheapening, an ex
ceedingly rare accomplishment in that
quarter.
The kind of merchandize exhibited in
this square is called frreolifes. 1 There
you find bonnets, flowers, ribbons, laces,
jewels, costumes, and all the accessories
to theatrical performances. It is the
rendez-vousof many actresses having new
parts to establish, and of actors who buy
at Madame Dottman's cleaned and extra
superfine gloves for ten or fifteen cents.
The lorettes who have to join some picnic
party buy in the Palais Royal cocked hats
for sixty or eighty cents. As for the
bibis they are sold at ten cents, while the
proletarian bonnet is yet still, maintained
at the price of twenty cents. There the
griscile, having economized a little sum
cent by cent, buys her a new dress for the
Toussaint or Easter days.
But the industrious workman or poor
actress are not the only ones to pay visits
at the Temple. Look at that lady adorn
ed. with velvet and furs; she alights, in
front of St. Elizabeth church, from her
gilded arms-painted carriage, and sullen
ly she goes through the alleys of the ba
zar. Look also at these parsimonious
lorettes ; some gallant has given them a
few thousand francs to buy a cacAwiire ;
they want to be,' elegant at A a small ex
pense, then make their purchase in the
Temple and invest what is left of the mo
ney in railroad shares.
The second square is the Pavilion de.
Flore. Here no more bnllant frivoliks
the iourgeom succeeds to the nobiliary
aristocracy, the utile to the agreeable, and
the eye meets with! piles! of mattresses,
blankets, bd furniture, curtains, clothes,
&c, &c .. :
I hesitate to trace the name of the
third square but duty commands and
truth is not satisfied w ith naif revelations.

going to enquire. ,
Learn then that the Temple has stalls
where a dirty shirt can be exchanged for
a clean one. It costs ten cents. One
goes behind a folding-screen, ; the trade-
woman throws a clean shirt and takes the
worn shirt in exchange.
. If the customer has some affection for
socks, that luxury can be procured at the
price of two cents.
Whoever is possessed of the coquettery
Exchange of a dirty shirt collar for a
clean one, one cent; three shirt collars
without exchange, two cents.
I make no fancy in-these prices;
they are of the strictest exactitude. Do
not believe, however, the Temple is a
one-price establishment. It cannot be too
often repeated that purchasing there re
quires an apprenticeship. A merchant
will ask ten dollars for what he will give
or one. Of a general rule the price of
an article is based according to the want
people seem to have fo r it.
Never enter a stall of the Temple
without beinrr requested to do so bv the
merchant or his clerk. If vou step in
without invitation, the merchant will say
to himself : Or my goods please this gen-
tleman, or his vanity makes him fearful of
being seen by his acquaintances; he'll pay
good. But, on the contrary, if it is only
by reiterated requests that you consent to
examine his goods, the merchant will of-
ter them at low rates in order to gain
your custom. Every knowing purchaser
practices a system of indifference.
I cannot help admiring the quickness
with which fchop girls guess, in a seond,
the wrong side of the toilette of a passer-
by.
Mark this : men at that are never so
clever as women.

Has a passer-by eyed the goods with a
mocking air, she will cry out : "They

That word tux is said in an outrageous
manner.
O, hunchbacks, low-legged, bandy-leg'
ged, one-eyed men ! If you do not wish
to purchase, do not pass
a near the stalls
the Temple. At your first refusal the most
impertinent fashions will be proposed.

wife to her husband, affectionately twin-

He looked up with a sad smile and re

if unknown, see men without half his ac
quirements rolling in wealth while he
perhaps is starving. And it will soon
come to that, he added bitterly if I do
not get employment.
An unbidden tear stole into the wife's

The husband felt rebuked, as she thus
spoke, and answered less despondihgly :

would try the stoutest spirit. The me

and he walked the room with rapid stri

But, after a moment or two, she arose,
and went up to him, and fondly encircling
him with her arms, said :

the physician had received, although he
had resided in the village more than a

Linwood was, indeed, the greatest of all
blessings, a good wife ; she . sympathized
with her husband, economized to the ut
most, and by her sanguine words chased
desponbency from his heart. ;
Hour after hour she sat there awaiting
her husband, yet still he came not. At
length darkness set in, and she began to
feel uneasy. She was about to go to the
door, when she heard her husband's foot

learned to my surprise that the Governor
of had been thrown from his carriage and
was thought to be dying. All the physi-
cians of.the town had been sent for, one
after another, but none could aid him.
In despair, his wife without orders had
sent for me. I saw his only chance for

ever caw performed. Luckily I assisted

The old Governor is a man of iron ner-
