mouth was closed, and her mind employed
in speculation for the rest of that afternoon,

covere• at sisal makes a fiber equal to
the best manilla, of which rope is made,
and now on the Island of New Providence
sisal is cultivated as an article of commerce,
and exported to England and the United
States in quantities. England has offered
a bounty to the planters at Nassau to de-
velop this industry. The Government
offers a bounty of e, ten -acre lot, at the
nominal price of 5 shillings per acre, to the
colored man or woman on the island (with
a view to making them land -owners) who
cultivate sisal. At Ansonia, Conn., is a
large pin iactory. The waste from the
made pins has been utalized to make a
sidewalk. The sidewalk made from this
waste is so hard that in setting a telephone

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not till the parental ltand is withdrawn by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
