One example of this being in the precept, "That a lie is not a lie unless the liar is found out." Monday and Tuesday were cold days, and it showed to advantage some people's ideas of how to keep warns. We noticed a little boy ap- parently six' years of age, wending his -way to school, with a great scarff wonted round and round his neck. This eras all right, but if a portion of that scarff had been put around the little fellow's knees, which were bare, it would we think, have kept him warmer. A couple -of thoroughly experienced horselneu traded horses the other day, one being determined -to get the bet- ter cif the other The trade was made, one receiving $15 difference in the deal. The man who got the money, clipped. thenev1 acquired anima l painted one bind foot, and spurring • it up, drove • around town at a lively pace. The new horse was admired by many, and again the same horseman challenged him for another deal. Fin- ally a trade was effected and $10 more handed over to the man who before got the $15, thus receiving $25 and the horse he at first possessed. Yesterday (Ash Wednesday) marks the beginning of Lent, when for over six weeks the faithful: among Angli- cans and Romanists are expected to abstain from worldly aznusements; to devote themselves to self-examina- tion and to withdraw in greatpart from society. With many religionists outside the two great Episcopalian bodies of Anglicans and Roman Catho- lics, the observance of Lent is not regarded as a duty, the non -conforming bodies, as they are'termed in Eng- land, not recognizing any church sea- sons:, sons; few of them, In fact, having any religious services, even .upon such festivals • as Good. Friday or • Christ- •mas day. But the influence. of ens - hem is strong in this case as in many others, and scores of • people refrain • from attending .the theatre or datinc- ing during Lent, not from motives of principle, but because it is "the proper thing."
