• R.REP TOUR MOUTH SHUT.
You'd like to have me tell you how
To ebine in crouversation
An &tomer 1 will give right noir
To your interrogation—
Keep your mouth shut.
Or if for wisdom most profound
You'd have the reputation,
This simple preeept, I'll be bound,
Is well worth nteditation—
Keep your mouth shut.
Arid if there's something on your mind
Which from your/wife you're keeping
This eiasame rule, kthink you'll find,
Will hold good when you're sleeping—
Keep yourincouth shut.
THE "TERROR."
Little shoeatrings all untied.
That makes the tiny shoes go "
A hat with half the rim torn off,
A hole that shows the curls on top.
Lit then beneath it such a face,
All roguish,n, le and baby glee,
And dimples that play hide muleeek,
, Around the crimson mouth so wee.
And flagere—but why try COUR
Of all the ruiscl "ef they contrive,
The doggie "could a tale unfold,"
And kittie now is not alive.
And is he wicked when he swims
Small chickens in the place of ducks?
Or when he sees the buds unfold,'
Before the flower comes lie plucks ?
Or when he takes his sister's dolls
And pulle the "criers" in them ou: ?
Or runs a pin in papa'savatch
To see what little "ticks" about?
Oh mother hearts, you'll take him in,
Thie naughty "terror," household joy,
Because in him you will bat eee
The picture of your own small boy.
THE BURDEN.
To every one on earth
God gives a burden to be carried down
The:road that lies between the cross and
crown,
No lot is wholly free;
He gives one to thee.
Some carry it Blot t,
Open and visible to any eyes ;
And ell may see its form and weight and
size,
Some hide it in their breast,
And deem it their ungnessed.
Thy burden is God's gift,
And it will make the bearer calm and
strong ;
Yet, let it press too heavily and long,
He says, "Cast it on tne,
And it shall easy be."
And those who heed his voice,
. And seek to give it back in trustful h
prayer,
Have quiet hearts that nevercan despair;
And hope lights up the way
Uponthe darkeat day.
Take thou thy burden thus
Into thy hands, and lay it at his feet;
And, whether it be sorrow or defeat,
Orpain or ein or care,
Leave it calmly there.
It is the lonely.road
That crushes out the life aud cf
heave
Bn ;
at, borne with him, the soul, I qtorekl,
forgiven,
Sings out, through.a11 the days,
Her joy and God's 1 *gh prtise. •

Lord Londonderry,the present vice-
roy of Ireland, has grown tired of his
position and wants to resign. It is
very probable that like every living
man who has preceded him in office,
Lord Londonderry has become con-
vinced that Ireland cannot be govern-
ed by coercion, and that local self-
government should be granted to that
country.
Mr Gladstone began to read Robert
Louis Stevenson's" Treasure Island"
one night when he retired, expecting
to read himself to sleep. He was
found at 6 o'clock in the morning

machine by which he can cut staves
tor seventeen barrels, completely
chimed, crozed and equalized in fifty
seconds. There are suet two staves to

labor-saving machine representsan
advance of 60 per cent. on old
methods. The inventor has been
working twenty years on the machine.

township of Huron, had a horse die

Harriet Beecher Stowe is intensely
.interested in the ministerial work of
her son, the Rev Charles Stowe, who

an old and feeble woman, finds her
greatest pleasure in life in listening
to his sermons.' His church is some
distance from Mrs Stowe's house,but,'

the famous writer of " Uncle Tom's
Cabin" never fails to occupy her pew
on Sunday morning.
Paschal Porter, the wonderfej child

only Il years old, recently preached
a sermon in the Baptist Church at

sermons on the I. time subject delivered
by the ablest preachers, but not one
of them could compare in power or in
elegance of diction with the boy's ex-
hortation.

Church, New York,on account of loss

a fine pail of oysters,which he thought
would be improved by setting them
outside for a few minutes. The host-
er came in in the meantime and was
asked if the swine had partaken of
their evening meal, and on learning
they had not the landlord ordered the
work to be clone at once. The man
went out of the door where the oysteritsets
were sitting to obey hiselerdship, and
seeing the pail nearly full of what he
upposed to be food prepared for the
animals, dumped it into their trough
and treated the quadrupeds to an
yster supper, which they appeared

Mr J.G. Colmer, of the High Com-

day night read a 'paper before the
Statistical Society on Canaelian rail-
way and commercial -statistics, Out
of a capital of £135,000,000 expended
on Canadian railwaye, Dominion and
Provincial Governments and muni-
cipalities had contributed £30,000,000
since Confederation. The railway
mileage in Canada had increased
from 2,000 to 12,000 ranee since 1887.
passenger traffic had increased 50 per
cent., freight traffic 130 per cent.,
earnings 85 per cent.. while the work-
ing expenses had increased only 60
per cent. The unfavorable reputation
the Canadian railways bore as invest -
men' • was not deserved. Most of the
money inveSted in Canadian railroads
regularly earned dividends. The
Grand Trubk had 1 an an immense
boon to the country, and was bound
sh
to are with the other Canadian
railways in the era Of prosperity he
believed to be in prospect. Having
sketched the results likely to follotv
the completion of the Canadian Paci-
fic,. mi. Colmer expressed pleasure at
the good being done by various socie-
ties in England which are spreading
information concerning Canada.

One of the most important judi•
cial decisions ever rendered in this
State was delivered in the Circuit
Court by Judge Kirk Hawes. A
member of one of the secret mutual
benefit associations had insured his
life for his wife, giving her name
as the beneficiary, in the amount of
$2,000. He subsequently procured
a divorce from his wife for her mar-
ital misconduct, but he did not
change the certificate of insistence
in her behalf. After his death the
society refused to pay hertheamount
of the policy on the ground that be.
fore his death she had ceased to be
his wife, and that after his death
she was neither his widow nor
his heir.. Judge Hawes decided
on these grounds that the divorced
wife was not entitled to the amount
of the insurance.—Chicago Journal.

OSTRICH FARMMING.
. Previous to 186.5 there seems to
have been,no organized effort or atten-
tion paid to ostriches as a means of
gaining wea'th, except two or three
found in a circus, and the feathers
that were found a few in a place And
expdrted fronrAfrica,—Egypt, etc..
Since 1805 ostrich farming has de-
veloped fast, in 38,81. no less than
$40,000,000 beng employed as capi;
tal.
To help keep this . Jarge and yet
growing capital busy, ostrich feathers
have. been adopted as a part or the
English court dress, and go where you
will in American cities, and' well
might one think that a part of the
English court had found its way across
the deep waters. .
The first efforts at ostrich farming
were in South Africa, The Dutch

It is Absurd
For people to expect a cure for Indiges-
tion, unless they refrain from eating
what is unwholesome ; but if anything
will aharpen the appetite and give tone
to the digestive organs, it is Ayer's Bar -
sonatina. Thousands all over the laud
testify to the merits of this raedicine.
Mrs. Sarah Burroughs, a 248 Eighth
street, South Boston, writes: "My hus-
band has taken Ayer's Sarsaparilla, for
Dyspepsia and torpifl liver, and has
been greatly benefited."
A Confirmed Dyspeptic.
C. Canterbury, of 141 Franklin st.,
Boston, Mass., writes, that, buffering
for years from Indigestion, he was at
last induced to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla
and, by its use, was entirely cured.
Mrs. Joseph Aubin, of, High street,
Holyoke, Mass., suffered for over a year
from Dyspepsia, so that she could not
eat substantial food, became very weak,
and was unable to care for her family.
Neither the medicines prescribed by
physicians, nor any of the remedies
advertised for the cure of Dyspepsia,
helped her, until she commenced. the
use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, "Three
bottles of this medicine," she writes,
"cured meAl
