THE i ilium EXPOSITOR.. Betsy Baker. [Contributed to Tan Execorroasi From noise and bustle far away, 'Tod wotk my time employing ; How happily did I pass each day, Content and health enjoying. The birds did sing and so did!, As I trudg'd o'er each acre, I never knew what lwaito sigh, • Till! saw Betsy Baker. At church I met her dress'd so neat, One Sunday in hot weather? With love I found my heart did beat, As we sung psalms together, So piously she hung her head, The while her voice did shake her, thought if ever I did wed, 'Twould be with Betsy. Baker. Now from her side! could not budge, I'm sure I thought no basin on't, My elbow then she gave a nudge, And bid me mind the sarmomt. When church was over out she walk'd, But! did overtake her, Determines that I wouldn't be baulk'd, I spoke to Betsy Baker, Her manners were genteel and cool, I found on conversation, She had just return'd from boarding echoed And finished her education. But love made me speak out quite free, Says I, I have many an acre, Will you give me your company, shant, said Betsy Baker. All entreatments she did slight, And n was forced to leave her, I got no sleep for all that night, For love brought on a fever. The doctor came, and smelt his cane, With along face like a Quaker, Says he, young man, where is your pain, Says I, it's Betsy Baker. Because I was not bad enough, Ile bolased and he pill'd me, And if I had taken all his stuff, I am sure he would have kill'd me. So I will put an end to strife, Betwixt him and the undertaker, And whatolo you think, did save my life, Why, I thought of Betsy Baker. then again to Betsy went, With love once more to attack her, The Meanwhile she had got acquaint With a rampant mad play -actor. If she would have him, he did say, A lady he would make her, So he gammoned her to run away, And I lost Betsy Baker. I fretted very much to find, My hopes of love were so undone, My mother said nwould ease my mind If [went up to London._ But though I strive another way, My thoughts never forsake her, dream all night, and think all day Of cruel Betsy Baker. dressed him in a broad Scotch accent— "Cum ye doon here to the front bench, and that for four reas'ons : first, yell be nearer me; second, yell be nearer the boord ; third, ye'll be nearer the fire; and fourth (after a pause), yell be near- er the door." This had more effect than an hour's lecture. There was no more. misdemeanor for the rest of the session. Gaieties. —Patrick was a true son of Erin, al- ways happy and always ready for a joke. One day a farmer in passing him Shouted good-humoredly—" Bad luck to you, Patrick l" "Good luck to .you, sir !' was the immediate response; and may nayther of us be right !' —A young lady, on being asked .what calling she wished her sweetheart to follow, unblushingly replied that she wished him to be a husbandman. Oh. I do so dote on the sea," she gurgled. "If you only had a yacht, Augusta dear !"' I have no yacht, Whilhelmina„" he sighed, "but I can give you a little smack." And then it sounded as if a cork had flown out of a bottle. —"Now," said the irate mother to her family of one 'boy and four girls, who had. been misbehaving themselves, I am going to whip you all," and she seized on Jiminie to receive the first in- stalment of the chastisement, "Mother," said Jimmie; " ladies first always." —A barrister, in" replying to his an- tagonist in court,- said he had a keen rapier with which to pierce all fools and knaves:; whereupon his opponent "moved the Court" that the rapier be taken from him, lest he should commit' suicide. —" Really," continued. Angelina to her dearest friend, "I am getting wor- ried about John. Before we were mar- ried, a year ago, he used to pick me up In his arms as if I weighed ten pounds instead of 136, and now he says it tires him to hold the baby." —" John," said a miserly old fellow to his son, "can't you stop walking about? You will wear you shoes out. John sits down. "Well, what are you sitting down for? Do you want to wear out your pants?" —A gentleman passing along the street, recently saw two children, ap- parently five and six years old, playing in the gutter. The elder wore -trousers, while the younger still clung to infantile dresses. Stopping, he addressed the boy in trousers—" Are you both boys ?" " No," was the answer; "I'm one, and and Johnny's going t6 be one next week." • —Johnnie Stirling, refusing to go to school one day, his mother was threat- ening him with a thrashing, when her own mother, interfering, said—" Hoot, hoot, fat wye o' speaking to the laddie is that? Come awa', Johnnie, and gang to your, schoolie, and I'll gin ye a fine scone and sugar on't." "Na, na, gran- nie, when my mither canna do't, ye needna try me." The boy at the head of the class will state what were the dark ages of the world." Boy. hesitates. "Next. Master Jones, can you tell me what the dark ages were ?" ' "The ages before speatacles were invented, sir." " Go to - your seat now, and attend in my pri- vate study after the class is dismissed." • —Bland electicin canvasser during the late elections—" My good woman, I understand your husband is not at home, but perhaps you may be able to- tell me whether he intends to support Mr. 'Keith?" Good woman—" My certie T. I wonder to hear ye He's been oot o' wark for sax weeks, and canna support his ain wife and weans !" --" Wife—" This small parcel from mother is dated three days ago. If that is the best the Parcels Post can do, we had better return to the old Parcels De- livery." Husband, who has carried the parcel in his great coat pocket two days --" Don't be unjust, my dear; the sys- tem is new yet, and probably not in per- fect working order. Give 'em time, my dear, give 'em time ?" —They say (apocryphally) that a very pretty but not highly intellectual West- ern girl met W. D. Howells for the first time not long ago, and becoming quite interested in his talks asked him for his autograph. Mr. Howells assented iugly, and wrote a very witty verse to a very pretty girl. "Oh, Mr. Howells," ahe exclaimed, gii ly-girliously, "haw sweet! Is it original ?" " Oh, yes," he replied, smiling benignantly. "You don't say Well, I should -think you would write something for the news- papers or magazines. I've seen lots of worse things than this in print.",. —Professor Duncan was, thirty years ago, a marked character in St. Andrews. One day the worthy professor was in- terrupted by a shout of laughter from the back benches of his class -room. Naming the culprit, with a very mean- ing look and a stamp of his foot, he ad- He Had the Best of It. The New York World relates this lit- tle incident: "A neatlydressed colored man entered the gallery of the Stock Exchange yesterday to look at the ses- sion of the brokers below. He leaned over the railing quietly, and made no disturbance; but some of the brokers, seeing him, thought it would be funny to insult their visitor by letting him understand that they knew he was black. So a score or mere of them, not having anything better to do, began to sing jubilee songs and mimic the planta- tion dances. Their performance was very poor,. but it seemed to amuse the colored man in the gallery, who stood at his post without any apparent discom- fiture, and when the brokers were tired of singingand dancing, he gravely put i his hand n his pocket and drew forth a ten -cent piece, which he threw to the brokers as one would pitch a penny to a hand -organ man.' Then he left, with the laugh decidedly, on his side." _ The Lovely Girl Graduates. "Mamie," said a grammar -school girl to a member of the graduating class, "have you finished your essay ?" "0, yes," gushed Mamie; 'and it is too lovely for anything—a princess slip of white surah, the back cut off a little below the waist line, and full breadths of silk gathered in so as to hang grace- fully over the tournure, and three bias ruffles on the--" • "Why, what are you talking about ?" Interrupted her friend. "I mean, have you finished writing your essay, you know ?" "Er—no," said Mamie, her enthus- iasm rapidly diminishing; "but I have begun it, and I wish the awful thing was in Halifax !" "What's the subject ?" "'The Curse of Slang." "Gracious! Isn't that a difficult sub- ject to write up?" " Difficult ! Well, I should giggle ! have to hump myself to -get it finish- ed in time for the commencement, and I have a good notion to let it slide. I might shut up the Professor's optic by pleading illness, but I am not that sort of a hairpin. But come, waltz up into my room and look at my stunning graduating harness. It'll paralyze you." " Yes,' she said. 'Come here with me. Put down your broom.' "She led him, to the edge of the side- . walk, and there oil that he might be b she had seen Him. where she had f wonderful truths—told him of the mission halls; and that they were free, and that he should go too. . "One Of the great facts which seem to strike the French poor Is that the Gos- pel which we bring to them is free—that they have nothing to pay. This poor woman does not seem to be an exception. At the Ternes we have a class of women, all gray-haired, who are _trying to learn to read, that they may get at,these truths for them- selves." red a simple prayer ought to see God as Then she told him Ind out about this Sentenced to be Shot. Farmer Owen's son had been found asleep when doing sentinel duty, and was sentenced to be shot. A telegram had been received by his father saying that the sentence would be carried out in twenty-four hours. Mr. Allan, the minister, called to comfort the -sorrow- ing family. During his visit a letter ar- rived. Blossom, the farmer's little daughter, opened -the door and received it. It is from him," was all she said, as she handed it to the minister, who opened it and read as follows : ' "Dear Father,—W hen this reaches you I shall be in eternity. I am going to write you all about it. You know I promised Jimmie Carr's mother I would look after her boy; and when he fell sick I did all I could for him. He was pot strong when ordered back into the ranks, and the day before that night I carried all his luggage, besides my own, on our march. If I had not lent him an arm now and then, he would have drop- ped by the way. I was tited out when we went into camp, and then it was Jimmy's turn to be sentry, and I would take his 'place; but I was too tired, father. I could not have ft•ept awake though a pun had been pointed at my head; but I did not know it until—well —until it was too late. "They tell me to -day that I have a short reprieve time to write to you,' our good colonel says. Forgive him, father, he only does his duty • he would gladly save me if he could. And do not lay my death up against Jimmie: The poor boy is broken-hearted, and does nothing but beg and entreat them to let him die in my stead. "I can't bear to think of mother and Blossom. To -night I shall see the cows all coming home from pasture, and precious little Blossom standing wait- ing for me; but—I—shall never—never come. God bless you all. Forgive your poor Bennie." Late that night a little figure glided down'the footpath toward the railway station. The guard, as he reached down to lift her into the carriage, wondered at the tear -stained face that was up- turned toward the dim lantern he held in his hand. . A few questions and ready answers told him- all, and no father could have cared more tenderly for his only child than he for little Blossom. She was on her way to Washington to ask President Lincoln for her brother's life, and had brought Bennie's letter with her. Next morning they reached New York, and the guard hurried her on to Washing- ton. Every minute, now, might be the means of saving her brother's life. The President had but just seated himself to his evening's task, when the door softly opened, and Blossom, with downcast eyes and folded hands, stood before him. " Well, my child," he said in his pleasant, cheerful tones, "what do you want ?" "Bennie's life, please, sir," faltered Blossom. " Bennie! 'Who is Bennie ?" "My brother, sir. They are going to shoot him for sleeping at his post." "Oh, yes; I remember. It was ,a "fatal sleep. You see, child, it was a time of special danger. Thousands of lives might havebeen lost by his negli- gence." • "So my father said," replied Blossom gravely. "But poor Bennie was so tired, sir, and Jimmie so weak. He did the -work of two, sir, and it was Jimmie's night, not his; but Jimmie was too tired, and Bennie never thought about himself, that he was tired too. "What is this you say, child? Come here; I do not understand."' Blossom went to him. He put his hand on her shoulder, and turned up the pale, anxious face toward his. How tall he seemed ! And he was President of the United States, too. A dim thought of this kind passed for a mo- ment through Blossom's mind • but she told her simple, straightforward story, • and handed Bennie's letter to Mr. Lin- coln to read. He read it carefully; then, taking up his pen, wrote a few hasty lines and rang his bell. Blossom heard this order, given: "Send this despatch at once." The President then turned to the girl, and said: "Go home, my child, and tell your father, who can approve his ,country's sentence, even when it takes the life of a child like that, that Abra- ham Lincoln thinks that life far too pre- cious to be lost. Go back, or—wait until to -morrow; Bennie will need a change after he has so bravely faced death; lie shall go with you." "God bless you, sir !" said Blossom. Two days after this interview the young soldier came to the White House with his little sister. He was called into his private room, and a strap was fastened on his shoulder. Mr. Lincoln then said: "The soldier that could car- ry a sick comrade!s baggage, and die for the act so uncomplainingly, deserves well of his country. Then Bennie and Blossom took their way to their green mountain -home. A crowd gathered at the railway station to welcome them back; and as Farmer Owen's hand graspedthat of his boy, tears flowed down his cheeks, and he was heard to say, fervently, "The Lord be praised."—Evangelical Churchman. —At the Marlborough House assembly on Wednesday. evening, silver thistles worn by many ladies in the hair were understood to be a quiet Gladstone badge, while some dames of Salisbury habitations wore, yet not ostentatiously, hairpins headed with a primrose set in pearls. - —An Atlanta Georgia, dispatch says: Prof. E. Leon the other day performed what is said to be the most marvellous rope -walking feat on record. He crossed the grand chasm at Tallulah Falls on an inch and a half rope, 1,500 feet long and suspended from cliff to cliff at a height of 1,200 feet above the rapids. Four thousand people witnessed the feat. What is Happening pi Paris. From one of the stations ot the McAll Mission in Paris are reported the follow- ing incidents: "Our excellent lady Bible -reader of the district was asked to go up to`the very highest house on the hill (Butte Montmarte), to see a poor, workman of middle age, who was very ill. She went, and was followed by our devoted missionary, Monsieur Sagami, who has long devoted a part of his time to visit- ing the people of that station. There they found the poor man. He had been for some time a regular attendant on the meetings, but had been lured away by skeptical companions, and had not en- tered our mission hall for four or five years. "Our,friends found him hopelessly ill, and in a state of inward trouble. There, as he tossed on his poor couch, the truths he had heard, but scarcely understood, in1 the meetings, returned to 'his thoughts; and he longed to be there again, and learn more. He seemed to be, still in a dark state spiritually, though with a great affection for thet memory of our mission room. A good woman, his neighbor, one of the converts of our station, tried to help and en- lighten him. By degrees they were en- abled to lead him on to a clear view of his need as a sinner, and to a simple trust in Christ. His last days were ir- radiated by an immortal hope. Ile was a poor, lonely man unmarried and -soli- tary; but peace and joy took possession -of his spirit. "Almost at thalast moment, after he had 'ceased to articulate, our Bible - reader brought to him a small bunch of spring flowers (primroses) from our lit- tle garden at Auteuil. When it—was said, from Mr. McAll's garden,' a bright smile Came over his features. Almost immediately afterward he was gone. "In some of the halls, the rule is that they can only have a Bible by attending one hundred meetings, day or evening; in others, the number required is less. I know a woman who earned hers by one hundred attendances. flow she ap- preciated it! How she rejoiced in it! A lady calling upon her one day, after her work was done, found her just after she had come in from the factory, pre- paring her dinner of fried potatoes, and about to sit down at the table. There was nothing on the table but some bread and a jug of water, yet against the jug leaned her open Bible. She turned to the lady smiling, and said, You see, we sit down to dinner together, my, Bible 'and I: it is the only time we have.' "I shall never, forget the eagerness and perseverance of one poor woman in - learning to read, that she might find out these truths for herself. She was a street -sweeper, as was her husband also. Neither of them could read, and they were both over sixty. It is a hard way to earn one's living, to be up at two, three or four o'clock in the morning, ac- cording to the season, in all weathers, fair and foul, summer and winter, in heat and cold; and this poor woman had contracted intermittent fever. Every other day when—she came in, about•ten o'clock, she had to go to bed; and yet, despite all this, he deter- mined to learn to read. She must know more about what was written in the Book; so on off nights, when she had no fever, she went to school. She studied at home, she wrote copies; every spare moment was- devoted to learning, and she succeeded. She can read her Bible. Every night you will find her and her old man,' when work is over, sitting down together, while she reads to him, and offers a prayer. "Nor does she stop -there, but finds opportunities for Christ's work outside. One dark, cold morning, before the sun had risen, when no one was abroad in the great city of Paris—no one but the sweepers—she heard a companion swear. Don't do that, God will be angry with you,' she said. Do you believe in God?' he re- plied, almost with a sneer. IMPOATANT NOTICES.

There are only two articles from which spectacle lenses can be maunfactured, viz., Pebble and Glass. Call glass by any other name it still remains glass. Pebble, on the other hand, is from Nature's own manufactory. It is natural crystal, found generally in freestone foundation, and is harder than the ruby and emerald, and nearly as hard as the diamond. The pebble is nothing more nor less than a transparent stone, cut by the aid of diamond dust, and the greatest amount of power is placed immediately over the centre of the grain found in all pebble. It will give to the spectacle wearer a coolness, freshness and a pleasant feeling that the ordinary spectacle lenses cannot by any possibility impart. All Spectacles and Eye Glasses are stamped B. L.
