A French gentleman, equally tenacious of his character for gallantry and

devotion, went to hear mass at the chapel of a favourite saint at Paris;

when he came there, he found repairs were doing in the building which

prevented the celebration. To show that he had not been defective in his

duty and attentions, he pulled out a richly decorated pocket-book, and

walking with great gravity and many genuflexions up the aisle, very

carefully placed a card of his name upon the principal altar.
