And how did it cry! Twenty-eight miles of it and no sign of a let up, and the tired mother just smothering it with baby talk and rucking the little thing in her arms. Presently a testy looking old man, an old bachelor if there ever was rine, turned in his seat and snarled: "Can'tyou shut that child upr The light that gleamed from her eyes was dangerous, as she hugged the baby a lit- tle closer and fired back at him: 'I can .)tut you up a good deal quicker." The howl of approbation went up all over the car, anti he shut up. gemente seems*. Mr. Balli recently naked a question in respect to Separate adhe"els that we think deserves a reply. He moved for a re- turn showing the qualifications of the teachers enip1oyed there. Mr. Crooks •.bjectod to the question„ but we confess to he unable to see good grounds for the objection. The Separate School system, for good or ill, is a settled element in our educational fabric, and no one pro- poses to disturb it. But it is certainly legitimate for any one to desire that it should be efficient. We have came to the conclusion;th it a certain standard of qualifications is requisite and necessary fur Public School teachers• why not also for separate school teachers? The pub- lic money goes to the su tpyrt of separ- ate schools, why should not the public have a guarantee of the fitness of those who teach? We are of the opinion that the efficiency of the separate schools would be greatly increased, if the teach- ers were required to take out certificates at the sante examinations as their fellows of the public schools. That would guar- antee their literary fitness aiid their suitability otherwise could very well be left as it is, to those it more immediately concerns. There a„uld be nothing in this to prevent Christian Bn,thers or other orders from teaching n, now. all that would he regtiitsti is that as they receive aid from the public cheat, the public would have s guarantee of their literary fitness for their work. We are satisfied that a change of this kind would be welcomed by the great majority of Separate School seJ pecten, ,,,,ay ..f whom are painfully cone -ion' of the in feriority in many instances, Of their own schools as compared with Public Schools.

The person found dead near Acton, March 3rd, proved to be Miss Catharine Keith, aged 18, whose parents live about three miles from Acton. It appears Miss Keish started about a week ago to walk home, • distance of about six miles from Mr. Finlay McCallum's, Sooteh Block, where she had been working,and, when within about half a mile from hotne, it is supposed she sank down ex- hausted and was frozen to death. A farmer of Chatham township, named Fredrick Bennett, started to chop wood in his bush, Marh 3rd, and not return- ing at the usual hour, search was made by the neighbors, who found him near the tree which he had partly chopped, in a kneeling posture, unconscious, with alarge gash in the top of his head, and a portion of his brain protruding. The axe waa found beside him. How the accident uc-t curred is not known. A year ago John McCarthy, a Belle- ville cab -driver, was urged to join the Working -man's Temppeerance Association by Mr. N. B. Falkener, a prominent lawyer, who promised if he did so and kept the obligation for a year, to make him a present of a house and lot. Mc- Carthy yielded to this persuasion and joined the association, and has never since violated the obligation. Mr. Fal- kener asked him yesterday to take a walk, and brought him to a neat home- stead and lot, which was duly made over to him. The Rev. William F. Clark, in a letter to the Listowel Banner, repudiates the title of "Rev.” and disclaims any fur- ther right of its being prefixed to his name. He says the time has now arrived to raise the question, "By what rule of propriety or law of right the term 'Rev.' is applied to the ministers of the Goepelr' Mr. W. F. Clark will find but few follow- ers hereabouts in this new agitation, al- though there are not a few in this section who think the prefix unnecessary in his particular case. -[Ex. John Chinaman is not bringing his steamships to San Francisco for pleasure excursion. Ha means business. The telegraph reports that a second steamer with the dragon flag has put in an appear- ance at San Francisco, and is now offering to carry flour from there to Hong Kong for $5 a ton. The Pacific Mail Steamship Company is understood to meet this bid by an offer of $2.50, and it is now in order for John to say how much lower he will go if ho intends to keep the business. Merchants and shippers thus have al ready the benetit of "Chinese cheap labor" on the high seas, at the same time that a great corporation has to compete with an element which promisee to he a much more effective regulator of the Pacific freight market than anything else that could possibly be devised. ' The question now is, how long will it bo before the dra- gon flag is seen on the Atlantic, also as a competitor for the carrying trade there ? Chatham school board has passed a resolution abolishing corporal punish- ment in the schools under its jurisdic- tion, and a local paper advises the board to rescind the motion,on the ground that they have heavily handicapped the whole staff of teachers in the due performance of their duties. The question is one on which much may be said on both sides. There is this, however, to be said in favor of the abolition of punishment in school", that in many of them the teach- ers, under present conditions, are too young themselves to have such a great power given them, especially aa not the majority by any means study the dispo- sition of each ehi)i , and the hest means of enforcing obedience in each individ- ual case. Still, for all this, we are in- clined to leave the cnatom as it is, pre- ferring to risk the law's restraints on teachers to allowing our schools to be come little Bedlams. A writer in a French paper gossip* pleasantly about the famous persons and pens A'esprit who have been deformed or malformed. "The list of such persons would be a longoneindeed. At the head ,tfthetn would stand Moses and Demos- thenes, and the list would close with I)arid, the Freesia pairater, sad Camille I)esmonhine." As to gibbose per.ons, the writer cites the caae of Saint Pavin, who depicted himself as follows "in the midst of my hack there rims . hemp of Scabs aed flpd pniatwel liky s gtleeplp, "To, kb mend re ..d here, .j, is the are termite ev.nt.o.t of Talley -retell front his ehildhoo,t) with 12euliel, member .1 the Directory, whams eyam sgnieded her rihly. it is said that alley ]raving thrown his inkstand at the head of the old Archbishop .,f Autism, Rridwl upon. tt+phised him in this manner "Vile em- igres youeusiwd r ao pwlarrightly frwmed time yen. fent" .

Every man sboeM deal honest- ly with himself He should say to Man - self, 'If there is anything I do nut wish the girl I ask to marry me should knew, that it must be something wrong. Now 1 will correct this wrong, or I will tell hes of it; fur I will not be su uukindly .Ito deceive her into marrying we. By dealing honestly with himself la the first pace, he comes to. correct understand - of the nature of the fact which he kas concealed; then if he deals honestly with the girl he tells her of it. People who lore each other will marry in spite of the disclosures of many farts; but it is better that these faults should be un- defatood before marriage than that brat djpeuvered afterward. We are sorry to s4 that concealments sand deceptions during courtship are not confined to the sterner sex. They are practised, per- haps, to quite as grey an extent b young ladies. Many a false hearted and treacherous girl has a thousand .miles during courtship to every one that illu- mines her face after marriage. W hichever side may be in the fault, the practical results of the delusions of courtship are the same; they lead to a miserable life. 'If I had known it be- fore hand I would never have married you,' is the declaration which has proved the knell to the happiness of many an unmated pair. It would have been much better, in every such case, that the cause of offence, whatever it may be, should have been known before; then the marriage might never have taken place. At all events this ground of re- proach would have been removed. Be sure that your courtship leaves no de- lusions to be dispelled after marriage. ea Ax Ona FAxosare-A monkey, the property of Mr. W. J. Way, of Toronto, created a great deal of amusement for the young folks at Brantford,Poultry show. He had for a companioa ban- tam chicken, to which he seemed greatly attached, scarcely allowing it to leave his arms for a moment, carrying it about all day, and at night sleeping with it in his bosoun. He seemed to be very fond of eggs, which he ate greedily, and only by these could he be tempted to leave his charge. Jacoo's love of warmth had tempted him to sleep too clove to the fire and, probably in his dreams of a warmer clime, his tail had wandered into it, and got badly burnt. This seemed at times to pain him greatly, and he would take it up in his paws and examine it. The chick, mistaking it for some tempting morsel intended for its use, would give it a pick, when the look of reproach with which Javcc would regard the chick appeared almost human.
