Witte seams, "My father never did anything for me," recently remarked a young. man who a few weeks ago finished hia ag,14()Qt life. and ieseekiug a good business opening. Judging by the words and the complaining tone in which they were uttered, the Mem- ber of the Orin who heard thettt is prone to believe that the young man's idea of "doing something" is° au outright gift of $1,000 in a lump or the purchase of a partnership in an established coucern. Thie young. inan, to the knowledge of the writer, has never done one month's actual work for others in his entire life. His life has been passed in the plea- sant pastimes of the home circle, iu reading, studying, hunting, fishing, ball -playing, yachting, and other employments not particularly bene• ficial to others. fie is a typo of that class of boys whose parents are sufficiently well to do to keep ser- vants to attend the household drud- gery, and whose fathers follow vo- cations in which no use can be made of the boy's spare hours. Like most boys of his class he looks upon his bread and clothes for twenty years,. together with his pony, jewelry, bicycle, etc., as mattere of course. Tho writer, while the complaining remark was still ringing in his ears, had the curiosity to make a conser- vative compilation of what it costs to raise an ordinary boy for the first twenty years of his life, and hero it is 8100 per year for •the first five years. $ 500 $150 per year for the second five years 750 $200 per year for the 3rdfiveyears..1,000 $300 per year for the next 3 years . 900 $500 per year for the next two years..1,000 Total $4,150 This is a moderate estimate of the financial balance against the boy who complains that his father has never done anything' for him. Unmitigated Trash. England is compelled to be more lenient with Canada than with Ire laud in order to hold the Dominion, situated as it is oe the border of the United States; but for that fewer concessions would bo Made. That country has been looking for- ward t) Canada's greater develop-. went es a source of profit, and has invested largely in the enterprise. When it shall so happen .that the Dominion shall become as a portion of the United States and under the same conditions respeetinee trade and affiliations, annexation will fol- low. And annexation .is more likely tu happen than any "reciprocity" that would be acceptable to this country. - England in accordance with street parlance, "is on the make," but the UnitedStates for- ' tutately has grown to sufficient stature to look out for herself, and to refuse consent to anything like the old recriprocity, that was in force for a term of years, all "all on ono Nide like the jug handle." The railway contest now raging in Win- nipeg, through which the Mauito- bans seek communication with the United States, is being fought upon thee() lines,: The Canadian Pacific 'is England's feeder,' to gather and to held what Great Britain consid- ers her 'own. We cannot presently foresee what the troubles there will amount to, bet behind them all is • a growing feeling of secession. The - time is corning, when, unless some relief is granted, the Caner/lin Dominion will be about as unhappy as Ireland. It- will be noticed that Senator Sherman quietly ignored Canada's pretentious to .bo such a government as to make stipulations for herself. The style ot' govern- . Went .6be has, and whidll. Ireland seeks, is ,far from looio,r; 3 govern- ment of the people, independent, and such an one as, one of those days, the people .there will deinand. ' Gunflint) reciprocity is impossible ; nrinoxflion of Canada is more pt.o-. bable, or the extinction of the t- ed States.— S. Alban's, Verotont, Aley:,rnyt21. The Devil's Nark. Amos J. Biggs, of Fayette, Mich., went to frighten off two eats that were fighting. A thunderstorm broke out and a flash of lightning killed the cats, When he went into the house his wife fainted, Unconscious of the cause the fernier hastened to bring her to. The first words she .uttered—"Oh, Amos, the devil has sot /)is mark on you" -•-excited his curiosity and ho look- ed in the glass and found the image of a black cat photographed in silhouette on bis bald front. Tho picture was perfect. It was about five inches from tip to tip and in perfect proportion. The cat's whis- kers, teeth, and even the hairs on its tail were reproduced with exquis- ite minuteness. Curiosity being satiefied, they tried to remove the obnoxious mazking, but to no pur- pose. However, in the morning the picture was much faded, and by noon it had quite disappeared.

Most said that he had resisted tyranny in every.coun- 'try he had lived in, and would con- tinue to do -so. Thereupon Chief Clerk Boise declined to administer the oath, adding that if he had made a mistaken the courts would rectiky it. Most replied that ho would test the point. This is the first timelt refpsal has been made on same grounds. Dougal and Janet. In the early days paraffi lamps, ss hen tile round open globes were prevalent, instead of' these (alley shaderr now so common, there lived an old couple up in Glenshee in a tart and a nen. Dougal was very, fond of a dram, and, coming home one night from a curler's festival, he discovered that Janet, decent body, had left the lamp burning on the windowsill to lighten the zig-zag path ofOrer wayward spouse. Dougal, on reach- ing borne, undressed as well as he 11/113 able, but in doing so roused his 'sleeping spouse, whereupon he, in all haste, screwed out the light, to prevent, if possible,n curtain lecture on his mitideeds. Some time having passed, and no appearance of the guidinan coming to bed, Janet rose to eee what was the matter. The full moon was shiniiie in at the little window in the kitchen, and there she discovered Dougal active- ly engaged in endeavoring to blow out the mood, under the impression that the paraffin lamp was still be- fore 'dui blazing brightly. "What's the matter, ye mild fool 1" cried Janet. , "Maitter 'i"' said Douai. "1 dinna•hic —ken what's the maitser but this lamp will neither screw oot nor blow oot the'nicht." 11 Carl Dunder Again. • niaype I like tp haf a leedle talk mit you," observed Carl Minder , ns _mitered.. the_ Woodbridee Street Station yester. day.
