At the Odeon, a very old moral is worked out by a new comedy, writ- ten by M. Galoppe d'Oaquaire, and entitled Les Vertueux de Province. Of two young ladies one has been reared amid the gaieties of Paris, the other in a state of provincial seclusion; but the course of events tends to prove that rural innocence may be far more artful than town sophistica- tion.

At last the lady and gentleman prove its truth by showing that both their watches stop- ped, one at four o'clock in the morning, the other two minutes later.
