"She who rocks the cradle 'rules the world." No truer maxim was ever written. She who rocks the cradle, be it a soap -box, the affectionate device of necessity, or the deinty result of artistic skill; the foot that geverns the cradle's motions, the voice that sings the lullaby are governing forces, for they represent a personality that shapes the destiny of the individual. A nation is the sum of its individuals. What training does the average woman receive to fit her for her high destiny as a force in the nation's life? Fortunate if any, no naatter what 'her sphere. Greek,Latin,music,art, sciences, modern languages -these receive all the time and attention that the world de- mands, with the understanding that training of this kind fits for any mission, But special training with a view of pro- ducing a well-equipped and intelligent wife and mother,to preside in a working man's home is in nine -tenths of cases most criminally neglected. What is the condition to -day of nine -tenths of our workingmen's homes? In the cities especially. We go into one. It is eleven o'clock in the morning. The bed in the dark bedroom is still unmade; breakfast dishes are still standing, unwashed, on the table innocent of table -cloth. A good fire is burning in the stove, from which the ashes have not been cleaned; these have been dragged out on the hearth to make room for the last raked through the grate. Sometime the ashes have been spilled over the floor, and carelessly shoveled up, leaving the evi- dence of their presence on the boards. The broken lounge has been used as a hed ; the quilts are simply thrown back. In the sink stand a fryitig-pan and a pot, with cold, greasy water in them. A tub, with some partially washed clothes, stands on two chairs. Half -past eleven! The door opens. A child about three years old, with dirty face, worse dress -that is, ragged beyond re- pair -shoes with nearly all the buttons missing, hangs on to the mother's dress - 'skirts. The mother, a woman about forty years old, holds a baby about a year old on her hip. She is strong and good-looking. She has on a woolen skirt trimmed with velvet -the gift of some well-disposed but injudicious employer: the trimming is ripped and torn, the material spotted and dirty; a waist minus most of the buttons, and of en- tirely different material and color from the skirt, and much too small for the wearer, partially covers the upper part of the woman's body. Her hair has not been combed since the preceding day, but this causes no annoyance or com- ment. She leans carelessly against the door -frame, finishing a con iersation that began about nine o'clock in the morning with her neighbor in the back room on the same floor. Her neighbor resembles her in all respects, except that she is much younger, and has but one child, now three Months old. This three months' old baby affords the opportun- ity for endless visits. The older woman is teacher, the younger learner. Cer- tainly it is necessary that she should have some instruction. She, like her neighbor, worked in a factory from the thne she was twelve years old until she was married. • The conversation is brought to a sud- den end by the appearance of the older children of our front -room occupant from school. These children are a girl of ten, one of eight, and a boy of six. All are ragged, and their clothes are the cast-off gar- ments of. the children of the mother's employer, and are as suitable to their condition as the velvet -trimmed dress of the mother. The clothes were soiled when given, and stitches were broken, and the rough usuage to which they !awe been subjected has not improved their appearance. Before they are in the room five min- utes they are quaareling. A quick blow administered here and there brings out howls or frowns, as the different dispoi sitions are manifested. The boy holds the baby while the mother puts on the water to boil for the only beverage ex- cept b_eer with which they are all famil- iar. The oldest girl is sent to the but- cher's on the block for a pound of chuck - steak. Before this appears the husband and father comes in. Tall, strong, sutty and gloomy, he comes in the door. A discouraged glance about the rooms, a careless look at the disorderly woman responsible for the disorder, a " hullo " to the chubby baby who stretches out his arms to him, and the man sits down before the table, bare except for the crumbs and dishes, waiting for his din- ner. Something is wrong; what he does not know. His home is like all the other homes of which he has any know- ledge. The steak appears, is fried, and eaten with bread and tea. Dinner is eaten from the table just as it stands. The children vary the monotony by eoarreling among themselves, repeating some tale of fancied wrong endured in school at the hands of a teacher who is supposed to cherish feelings of animosity toward the poor man's child and govern in favor of the better -dressed and bet- terenennered pupils. Already smarting under the consciousness of labor that does not receive an honest compensation, unsatisfied because life yields him noth- ing, and lies before him without any promise of a change except old age,with hunger unappeased he leaves the table to stop at the corner for a glass of beer. Here he finds a neighbor, a counterpart of himself mentally and physically. They follow the American custom, and treat each other; so the one glass of beer becomes two. If it stops there it is well. The afternoon begins and ends as do all other afternoons in these lives. The only variation that does come is a worse one --idleness. Some men tind a condition slightly different at home. We will go with one of the others. • It is the same hour. We find close to the window a harassed, thin woman, stitching with all her might on a sewing reachirie. Piled high on ttvo chairs, standing against the wall, are a number of white muslin chemises. She has been workieebwith all her might since her huslettelleft at half -past six. The bed is uninale, dishes unwashed, stove - hearth covered v.-ith ashes,floor unswept. A calico ;rapper. now ripped in several places, for ivhich she paid one dollar, said from ahieh the original color has long since disappeared, covers her. Her hair is like her neighbor's on- the floor below -in the condition it was when she rose from her bed. A tin can which has eonteined beer stands on the table near her. The door opens. In comes a girl of nine years, with a skimpy dress, rip- ped and shabby. In her arms2a heavy, chubby baby, who is clothed, like the older child, in the ready enade garments purchased because the mother had "00 time," she said, to make them. It was true, she spent all her time earning the money to buy them. Still, it would have been more strictly true if she had said she had no knowledge of how to make them. She knew how to make women's undergarments -that is what she did before she was riiarried. Of house -work, hand sewing, -the cutting of garments to fit, she had not the slightest idea. -There was not money, when she married, to supply the deficiencies caus- ed by her ignorance, and she was forced to add to the family income by doing what she knew how to do. Twelve o'clock found about the same preparation for dinner as was made in the room below. There was this differ- ence: long,tiresome hours of labor,spent with the constant thought of how little they yielded, had their effect on nerves .that were strained and diseased from infancy. The children from school were 'greeted with frowns and sharp words, and a chalice remark that "it was a pity a man couldn't have his dinner without waitiu' " was met with the rejoincler,t `Go where you like it better." The `1free lunch" just meets the case, and, with an oath and a slam of the door,the husband and father disappears. Who is to blame for this state of affairs ? It's A1wa4S the Way. "Didn't I tell you so?" said a gentlem n to an quainta.nce whom he chanced to ineet on the street; "it's always the way." "Whatalways the way?" inquired a mutualfriend of he two men who happened along just then. " W ye just this," replied the first speaker: "you se Smith here' the last time I met him he had one of the worst coughsyou ever heard. He con plained of a doss of appetite, of night -sweats, of low spirits and other unmistakable pren onitory symptoms of consumption. I told him o get a supply of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical D scovery at once. He did so, and look at him no'v! Did yen ever see 4. healthier looking man? The Dis- covery has snlatched a thousand from consump- tives' grsves. I knew It would cure Smi.de. It's always the way." A Terrible Tragedy.; The saddest and most revoltin • trag- edy that has been enacted in oronte for many years, took place Wed esday on Avenue road. Little blue-ey d Jon- nie Fellows, just six weeks old, the pet of his parents because he was their only boy, was killed in a horrible way. His head was severed from his, body, while his right arm was cut off, boiled and partly eaten. The being who perpetrat- ed this diabolical deed was the one who of all others in this world loved him the most. He was killed by his mother., He was killed ,by one who loved him with a passionate devotion. Reason tottered from her throne, and .acting on a fiendish inspiration. Mrs. F llows took aitable knife and sawed off t e head of her baby boy. Mr. Fellows aiicl his wife are natives of Shropshire, England. They were married in July, 1, 83, at To- ronto. Mrs. Fellows has giv n birth to four children, the second h ving died when a month old. She bee me insane after giving birth to her thir child and was placed in the- Asylum in February last. She was there three m ntlis and apparentlY recovered. 'He husband was warned that she mus be taken good care of, ; and since - he birth of the last child six weeksago Mt. Fellows has been cornelled to keep a constant watch over his wife. Being a laborer and receivin only $7 a week, he has been unab e to pro- vide his wife with the consta t nursing and expensive nourishment required. She had consequently becomt so weak that she suffered a second attack of dementia. Mrs. 'Fellows was very un- communicative and held no ptercourse with her neighbors. She wa devoted- ly attached to her children ad spent a great amount of time in loo ing after their wants. • • • Some Reflections on nnexa- ton and Commercial nion. (By- Lolly W. Pop, Esq., M. S. II. E.) About the funniest thing o e can' hear just now is an argument on ointii-ercial Union, and yet it is a little p tiable too to see the poor felloiv;who is •pposed to it have his long -cherished, an what he formerly considered unanswe able argu- ments pushed, crowded, crust ed out of existence, as they are sure te be.- But presently you will see a riumphant smile light up his sombre, elancholy- countenance as he brings trp is last and most powerful -reserve with which he hoped to shatter his (ippon nt's argu- - merit "alt up iuto smither ens "-To enter into Commercial ,Union with the United States is to be disloya to Great Britain. You ask him what s disloyal about it. " Why can't you see, the whole thing ie disloyal." "Is it disloyal to get a larger profit on our 1orses and other saleable articles ?" " o; I don't ; know that it is." "Isit disl yal to give our manufacturers a larger fie d to work in ?" "No, I can't say that i is." "Is 4 it disloyal to develop our Mineral re- sources?" "No, I Wouldn't like to say that." "Is it disloyal to infuse new life into our towns and citieS, to save our farmers from financial ruin, to rescue our country from the _ disgrace and destruction which is sure itore'sult from her present curse ?" "WO." Then you get mad and ask him "What the deuce is disloyal about it then ?" Then he has you (or thinks he has).-" Com- mercial Union will lead to Annexation." You leave the scerie disgusted, and for the benefit of our readers we will take- up the argurneet. Why is it thatso many people are crying out for Annexation ? It is not because they have anything against Great Britain, not because Great Britain has done our country any harm, but be- cause we are loaded down with debt, while the United States have an immense surplus: Our mineral resources are un- developed, theirs are a great source of wealth; our farmers; business .men and manufacturers have a constant struggle to get along, theirs are growingmore prosperous every day. Our cities and towns are almost at a etandstill, theirs are growing fast. People see these things anti naturally suppose that if we. were absorbed into the Union eve would share in the general prosperity. Can, we blame them? Now it has ,been !shown time and again that Commercial Union will bring back prosperity to our coue- try ; that it will, in fact, give us all the benefits to be derived from Annexation and still leave us tree to govern ourselves as we have hitherto done. If the cause for Annexation is removed it is surely reasonable to suppose that the demand will die a natural death. But; says one of our readers, what if this precious schemeshould fall through or should prove an absolute failure when tested? Well, we can only answer that when that calamity does occur it will be plenty of time to talk about Annexation. Then Miss Canada can go to Mother Britain and say with a olear conscience, "Mamma, we have done all we could, we have tried every expedient, and W5 find we cannot thrive in your family, we'll have to jine Uncle Sernuel's." L. W. P. Only a Woman's Voice. The bell had rung and the car was about to start on its down town trip from the Exposition grounds, yesterday afternoon, when he boarded the car. It did not requiee more than a glance to convince everyone who saw him that he was drunk -very much eo, in fact. He sank into an unoccupied seat in the cor- m+ leaned his weary head against the faipe-box and in a moment was in that stOpor whidh too much whisky pro: duces. The driver evidently knew him and smiled as he said : "I'll attend to you when we get down here a piece." In a few moments the car stopped and the driver stepped inside, shook the sleeper and told him in en auctioneer tone of voice to "wake up and get off." But the passenger did neither. Then a gentleman sitting next to him endeavor- ed to arouse him, but beyond a mutter- ed remark t at could not be understood he remaine •a fixture in his seat. This sort f thing was becoming mon- o onous wh n a little woman was seen a proachin the car. A slight rain was f 11i4 and she daintily picked her way a ross the iiddy street and stepped up - o the car. She glanced inside but did ot enter, and spoke but one word - 'John. " It was not a 'loud "John,' • ut throug the befuddled brain of that runken sl eper it seemed to flash, pene- rating an starting into life every fac- lty, and s though an electric battery ad compl ted the circuit directly be- eath him he sprang up, and as grace - ally as wa possible to him left the car upported y that little woman whose oice had almost sobered him. Ile mora of the little incident can be rranged io suit the taste, but the sue erwrity o the female voice, under such ineumstan es cannot be doubted. --From the Atlant; Constitution. - An I ishman's Answer.
