And between thistribute to her discretion and a confused feeling that evidently the minister's wife credited her with secret sources of information, old lady Simmons' mouth was closed, and her mind employed in speculation for the rest of that afternoon, Too Many Buttons. A clergyman's wife was mending clothes or her boys, when ono of her neighbors alled in to have a friendly shat. 7.

The sidewalk made from this waste is so hard that in setting a telephone pole not long since it was necessary to blow out the hole by dynamite, as the walk could not be affected by picks. Is it True? An esteemed correspondent mourns over the fact—or what she alleges to be a fact— that children and very young people are utterly wanting in gratitude to their parents. She says : "They may, and generally do, love them sincerely and devotedly, and may even be willing to sacrifice themselves for them ; but it never occurred to them that they have anything for which to be grateful. It seems so much a matter of course that all good things should flow to them from their parents that they. never give a thought to the source whence they are derived. It is not till the parental ltand is withdrawn by death that they discover how much they miss the tender care that can no more assist them.” Our correspondent seems to have become rather morbid on the subject of children's ingratitude to their parents. There is some truth in what she says; but, in our opinion, she states the case somewhat ex- travagantly. Checkmated. People who resort to round about means to gratify their curiosity sometimes meet with unexpected rebuffs. Mrs. Simmons was possessed of an overwhelming desire to know all about her neighbors' affairs, but she seldom. asked a straightforward question. It was her way to say Miss Spencer is just eat up to know this or that, or I heard Miss Hallet remarking that she should admire to be told how you managed to do: so and so. Usually the neighbors gave her the in- formation she wanted, thoagh they were often irritated into calling her a meddling, interferin' old piece. When the new min- ister came to Cyrusville, hi3 young wife was forwarned by the ladies of the parish to be a lode close-moultlled with Miss Simmons, my dear, if you on compass it, for her tongue is as long as her ears. I shall try to, said the little woman, calmly. She ancceeded, even though the Simmons house was next to the par- sonage, which was certaiuly a trying cir- cumstance. For a week Or two Mrs. Simmons con- tented herself with asking impertinent questions in a comparatively direst way,but one day she unfortunately reverted to her time -worn habit. Miss Gregg said she'd give a good deal to know what that trim- ming cost on your Sunday dress, she re- marked, peering at the minister's wife ng. What we owe to Animals. Those who have read the story of Robin - n Crusoe, the sailor who was shipwrecked an island not inhabited by white men, will remember how he soon made compan- ions of the various animals he found there, and with their aid sustained life until he was rescued. If one of us should be ship- wrecked on a desert island where no ani- mals lived—no horses to draw us, no ox to toil for us, no cow or goat to give us milk, no sheep to give us wool, no hens to give us eggs, no dog to be our companion and guard us in the night, no cat to lie on the hearth, no birds to sing their songs, no living creature to keep us company, no sound of any living thing by day or night, only soli• tude and silence everywhere, with nothing to eat but such roots as we could dig from the earth, and nothing to wear but such bark as we could pluck from the trees—we should then know how much we owe to these creatures, which God has mercifully BANK (rt kiA U.ZX,,tTON WINGBAM.
