From time to time the shouts, "Down with Guizot!" and "Vive la Réforme!" were heard and, also, the roll of drums as a body of troops passed along; knots of individuals gathered around the doors of bakers' shops, and, while they eagerly ate their bread and sausage, as eagerly denounced Guizot and the Ministry. But all was comparative order in Paris.

"All the distinctions, so delicate and sometimes so complicated, which belong to good breeding," says M. Rondalet in "La Reforme Sociale," "answer to a profound unconscious analysis of the duties we owe to one another." There are people who balk at small civilities on account of their manifest insincerity.

So says communism; so expressed itself, nearly a year ago, in its social profession of faith, the journal, "La Reforme." Whatever reluctance I may feel to oppose men whose ideas are at bottom my own, I cannot accept such dialectics.

Roch had been torn away to supply weapons of attack or defence, or implements with which to tear up the huge square paving stones of Paris for barricades. At eleven o'clock the National Guard of the Second Arrondissement gathered at the opera house in the Rue Lepelletier, and near the office of "Le National." "Vive la Réforme!" "Vive la Garde Nationale!"

Snores had already begun in various keys at various distances in various directions. The candle flickered a little; as if darkness and itself were struggling to the death, and darkness were winning. "I'll get a chew from John" Harree's voice said. Three or four paillasses away, a subdued conversation was proceeding. I found myself listening sleepily. "Et puis," a voice said, "je suis reforme...."

He had conceived the plan which was afterwards carried out in the Plantation of Ulster "planting colonies among them of answerable inland subjects, that within short time may reforme and civilize the best-inclined among them; rooting out or transporting the barbarous or stubborne sort, and planting civilitie in their roomes". Although James continued to carry on his efforts in this direction after 1603, yet it may be said that the English succession prevented his giving effect to his scheme, and that it also interfered with his intentions regarding the abolition of hereditary jurisdictions, which remained to "wracke the whole land" till after the Rising of 1745.

And if the duke should breake and go from the premisses, then are they altogither to ceasse from dooing him any seruice, till he reforme his misdooings. And my sonne also is to constreine him thereto, according to the aduice of holie church, if the duke shall chance to go from the couenants afore mentioned.

"We were all roused at daybreak in the Quartier St. Honoré by the rappel, and so I happen to be awake." "And are the National Guard turning out in good numbers?" "No. They don't turn out at all. The drummers are followed by a crowd of gamins in blouses, who shout Vive la Réforme and sing the Marseillaise."

Henceforth it is to be "Le Pont de la Réforme." And so with all other names. Royal is to give place to République, and "Liberté, Egalité et Fraternité" is to be again inscribed on all public monuments. The children of citizens killed in the Revolution were declared adopted by the country.

Le Play's elaborate treatise, 'La Reforme Sociale, strongly attracted his attention. He was fond of statistical works, such as the 'Annuaire du Bureau des Longitudes, a little compilation bristling with facts.
