• Real Kindness.
A blind and crippl d old man sat at the
edge of the icy stone avement grinding out
his few tunes on a w eezy hand -organ, and
holding in one hand tin cup for pennies.
The cold wind blew hrough his rage, and
he was indeed a pitif I object. Yet few of
the passers-by seeme to pity him. They
were all in a hurry, and it was too oold to
stop and hunt for pennies in pockets and
purses.
A sudden gust of wind blew the old man's
cap off. It fell by th side of tbe pavement,
a few feet distant. e felt around for it
with his bare, red ha ds, and then with his
cane, but he could it t find it, and finally
began playing again bareheaded, with his
scanty gray locks tos ed about in the wind.
People came end went, happy, well-
dressed men and wo en, in silks and vel-
vets and sealskins, iji warm overcoats and
gloves and mufflers. FBUt none of them paid
any attention to the 4id man.
By and by a womai came out of an alley,
an old woman in ra s and tatters, with a
great bundle of boar s and sticks on her
bent back. Some of he boards were so long
that they dragged on he ground behind her,
and it had evidently aken her a long time
to tie all the boards a d bits of lumber to-
gether and get them n her back.
She came along, be ding low under her
burden, until she was within a few feet of
the old organ-ginde . She_ saw his cap
lying beside the pave ent, she saw him sit-
ting there, bareheaded. She stopped and
untied the rope that bound the bundle to
her back, and in a m ment the boards were
lying on the ground. Then she picked up
the cap, put it on th; old nian's head and
tied it down with a r gged string of a hand-
kerchief taken from her own neck.
"Cold, hain't it?" she said.
He nodded.
"Ain't gittin' much to -day?"
He shook his head again.
She fnmbled in hr ragged skirts for a
moment, and finallyrought forth a copper.

Jenny -Lind.
Jenny Lind, the wornau, was greater than
Jenny Lind, the singer. "1 would rather
hear Jenny talk than sing, wonderful as it
it." wrote Mrs. Stanley, the wife of the
Bishop of Norwich, in whose place the
great singer was a guest while in the city.
The Bishop's son, subsequently Dean
Stanleyovhe had "00 c ar for music," and
qn vrbom, therefore, her singing was wholly

fulness, wisdom, piety.'
She looked upon her natural faculty as a
gift of God, and never seug without reflect-
ing that it might be for the lest time.
"It has been continued to me from year
to year for the good of others."
This feeling was no fine tentiment, but a
religious principle. While. she was the
Bishop's guest she begged Mrs. Stanley to
allow her to take three of her mei& to a
concert where she was to sing.
At a service in the cathedral she was

at her concert the next evening. When she

a smile of recognition, which the boys neaer

She gave to charitable objects thousands
of pounds gained by her wonderful voiee.
While ainging in Copenhagen, such was the
excitement that court and town begged her -
to give them oue more day of song. A gen-
tleman of musical culture had, with his wife,
anxiously looked forward to her visit.
When she came he was on a sick bed.
Jenny Lind heard of his desire, and found
time to go to his house and sing to him and
his wife.
When she went to London, Mendelesohn
asked her to siug to a friend of his, who had

News Notes.
—Spanish fever has broken out at the
Cincinnati stock yerds, a number of cattle
have already died from the disease.
—A terrible' threshing machine accident
occurred on the Grandin farm near May-
ville, North Dekote, on the 22nd ult. The
boiler of the threshing - machine burst and
killed six men. The explosion was due to
cold water forced into a heated boiler_ when
the water was low.
t—Dealers have lost heavily in several lots
of; Canadian cattle recently shipped to Eng-
laed. This is another proof of the sound-
ness of the advice recently givenjarmers by
ex-Ald. Fret:Attend. That advice was to
have grain -fed cattle ready for ehipment
early in_the season. Such lways bring good
prices, while losses on consignmente later on
are of frequent occurrence.
—Denmark, with a population a trifle leas
than that of the province, exports close on
twenty million dollare' worth of batter to
Great Britain annually. Ontario sends only
about as many thousand dollars' worth.
Tais is one instance showing what an un-
limited market awaits our farmers !the
moment they cease growing wheat and turn
their attention to that from which they
could make an infinitely greater profit.
.—Daniel Shaw, who lives in Amherst -
burg, went out into his yard, after getting
up the other morning, for some wood to
stert his fire. He rolled over a stick and
wes preparing to split it when he noticed a
silver watch and chain lying on the ground.
How it came there he can only have a care-
fully formed suspicion.
,—Brigadier Spooner and wife, of the Sal-
vation Army, leave this weekfor England.
They were given a kind farewell at the bar-
racks, London, last Sabbath evening, when
tae band was out in tull force for the firat
time during the past year. They have
been in London only eight weeks, but have
made many friends during that time.

—The late Mr. Gunn was treasurer of
Walkerton. "Since his death the auditors
'neve found that he was $2,273.38 short in
his cash. The greater portion of the short-
age bas occurred during the present year,
but about $1,000 of it was in 1890 and was
covered up by charging various coupons
maturing in January of tbis *ear as being
paid towards the close of December, where-
at they were actually not paid till January.
The sureties are Thomas Dixon and Mr.
Gunn, father of the deceased treasurer.

—On the 22nd inst. Squire J. B. Smyth,
of London, gave judgment in the case of
Elisabeth Leathorue, charged with ill-treat-
ing and neglecting an adopted child. On
the woman withdrawing all claim to the
child he allowed the charge to be with-
drawn, and the little one was handed over
to the Humane Society, who have provided
a home for it. At the trial one witness said
she heard the whacks given the child five
blocks off.
—The Queen has ordered her attendants
to take greaterprecautions against the access
of chance visitors and spectators to the
neighborhood of her Scottish residence.
She drives about Balmoral freely, seeing
her tenants and inspecting her property,and
she complains of tourists taking anap-shote
at her with their kodaks. The pestiferous
amateur photographer has made himself a
nuisance there, as everywhere. Some of
the specimens of the work of these _noisome
intruders have provoked considerable laugh-
ter, and, at the same time, some resentment,
as they are positive caricatures, and have
taken her Majesty unawares and with any-
thing but artistic results.
—An unusual event occurred at Richmond
street, London, last Sunday evening. It
was the marriage of two Russian Jews.
Jacob Harris and Dora Meidenburg, the
latter of whom arrived from Russia just
three weeks ago, joined heart and band and
started along the path of life together. The
groom sent his photograph to his bride while
she was in Russia, and she sent here in re-
turn. He then wrote to her and asked her
to come to London and become his wife,
which she did. He had lived just a few
miles from her home in Russia, but they

of men ha i been making extensive excav-
ations of the pie historic mounds in Ohio
a-nd Indiana, and according to reports, re-
ceived from time to time, most gratifying
success has been met with. Many skulls,
skeletons, copper hatchet s,pipes, ornaments,i
altars of b rut lay weighing 400 to 500
pounds, flint sp ar heads, etc., have been
secured.
In one !noun , situated near Anderton
station, Indiana, 7,232 flint spear heads and

great that i too four horses and a large
corn wagon o ha 1 the flints to camp. The
total weigh was trifle over 4,700 pounds.
The imple ents were found in a layer one

The Best Books for a Boy to
I Read.
What Looks should a boy read? It is a
question of fancy, perhaps, and yet there are
tarot, books that every boy should own and
study, three wonderful books:
The Bible,
The Dictionary,'
Shakespeare.
In the first you will find science, philoso-
phy, and the true religion. You will find
as delightful and charming pen -pictures as
were ever painted. There are delicioneelave
stories, and tragedies so dark and deep that
their recital makes the blood run cold. The
dictionary you will find to be a well full of
the deepeet meaning. It will teach you the
use of weeds. You can afford to spend an
hour a day with your dictionary for ten
years. And Shakespeare ! Who so great
as the Bad of Avon? Where can you find
the mirro hell up to nature so truthfully as
in his e o ks ? Read all of his plays. They
will teac you the secrets of the human
heart lin of human nature. You wilt be at
school in ho" university of life " while por-
ing over is works. Every hour epent in
studying the Bible, the dictionary, and
Shakespeare, will bring its own reward a
thoutand fold in after years.

Stop him.
Stop him !—Stop whom? Why, that boy
with a qu d of tebacco in his mouth, a cigar
in his teeth, a profane word upon his lips, a
care-for-nethiugnes3 in his manner. Stop
him! he is going too fast; he does not know
his speed. Stop him before tobacco shatters
his nerves ; before pride ruins his character ;
before the loafer masters the man; before
ambition tnd youthful strength give way to
low pursuits and brutish aims. Stop all
such boys! They are not to be classed
amongst "aur boys." They are the dis-
grace of their towns, and sad and solemn
reproaches to themselves, and the worst
trials her on earth to their parents. Stop
them ! But if that is impossible, then shun
them. They arc 'ad, bad boys. A good
boy is one of the very best things on earth;
but a really bed boy is one of the worst.
The only hope is that he is a boy yet; it is
poisible he can be stopped, and right -about-
faced, and may yet be a good man. But if
so, he most !stop at once. No half -way .
work here ; if he does not atop, he is gone,
and there is no hope for him.
Selecting Geese.
In thineing out the flock of geese, always

and breed during the lifetime of a genera-
tion. Geese have been known to hatch and
mate their young when tv.prity-fivo years
old. The, old geese are riot erdable in mar-
ket, and as they are better layers and more
careful mothers than the young geese, the
, latter can be marketed with more advantage
and profit than by selling off the old birds.

THE LADIES ALIVE ,
TO THE GREAT IMPORTANCE OF
-THE UNDERTAKING!!
The ladies of Canada are delighted; hue-
' bands note with pleasure the smiling faces of
wives and daughters; indeed, the whole
country is stirred up with. apleasvrable ex-
citement.
fiimply amounts to this,—that the manu-
facturers of the celebrated and universally
used Diainond Dyes have inaugurated a
grand co petition scheme known as the
"DaemonDye Competition," which is
'freely th own open to every mother, wife
and daug ter of our broad Dominion.
No lees la sum than $1,500.00 will be distri-
buted to the mothers, wives and daughters
of Canada, in first, second and third prizes.
Thia sum is really being returned to the
consumera of Diamond Dyes. Every lady in
Canada can afford to become a competitor,
and has sifloient intelligence and ability to
make up one ofthe articles mentioned in
the long arid .varied list. Ample time is
afforded t ail for experimenting and becom-
-- ingperfect as competitors for the large cash
prizes off red.
It is an unprecedented act of liberality on
the part of the wealthy manufacturers of
Diamond Dyes, and never before attempted
by any imilar institution in the world;
and the ublic havethe most ample proof
that ever' promise will be faithfully carried
out.
During I the (mason the manufacturers of
Diamond Dyes have contributed liberally to
country fairs, in order to "encourage Home -
hold Economy and Art, Small and almost
'unknown I concerns have tried to altimulate
this oharaOter ofwork, by the offer of insig-
nificant sums of from one to three dollars,
that would not in -any instance - defray cost
of dyeing end the making up of -goods called
for. We fear the 'mall imitators have not
yet discovered th t that the ladies value
too highla their e and materials, to be
lured by sech trifling andmiserable prizes.
The fairii of our country having closed for
the season,' the manufacturers of Diamond
Dyes mean to keep the ladies busy during
the long a tumn and winter evenings, by
offering len e and subetential prizes in keep -
bag with the character of work asked for.
The pro,diaction of every competiter will
form an exhibit in the large and well-equip-
ped Diamond Dye establiehment in Montreal,
sad three of the largeat and best-known Dry
Goods firms in Canada have promised ex-
perts to atard the prizes. These well-
known hous I are: Henry Morgan & Co.,
Henry & N. E. Hamilton, and John Murphy
& Co.
'Graham & Co., proprietors of the Mon-
treal "DailY Star" and "Family Herald and
Weekly Star," have signified their willing-
ness to act all judges on the various Essays
seta forward for dompetition.
Young and old, rich' and poor, have an
equal chance in this mrnificent and novel
competition scheme; herefore all should
willingly enter. If yoq have not yet receiv-
ed a book giving full 1 particulars of the
scheme, write at once to the Wells & !Rich-

Charlesworth S:. Brownell, Seafo-rth,
headquarters for Tea.
We are importers and profit sharers
We have the choicest India and Ceylon
brands, the finest and most delicious
Tea the world can produce. Also -a
large stock of Hysons, Blacks and
Japan Teas. Look and see if you ean
can find anything to match our eup
quality at the prices we offer you. We -
ask your, personal inspection. We
stand as squarely by our qualities ae
by our prices. Why shouldn't we.
We can well be frank, we can well be
fair with such goods and such prices.
Why Because we im-port in large
lines, buy and sell tons every' few
weeks. Parties buying in 20 -lb.
.lots we will sell at wholesale - prices.
A word to the farmers who are buy-
ing Tea from certain tea companies
outside of their own county. We will
guarantee to sell equally as good—
we think better—a may pickings Japan
Tea at from .five to ten cents a
pound less, according to quality,
and take your butter, eegs and produce
in payment. _ By Ling this you save
money, leave your money in 'your own
County where it will do you the most
good, and support your own merchants
instead of sending the wealth of the
county to assist to build up outside
sections. Remember, we warrant the
Tea, and it can be returned if not fully
better in cup quality at from five to ten
cents per pound less. Please do not
forget this. One trial will convince
you this is :no blow. We do but very
-
little advertising, as the public knows.
This is the first printer's ink we have
used for over two years. Our business. -
does not, nor never has, required any
booming—it has been gradually increas-
ing and becoming more solid every
day, for which we are thankful. Farm-
ers and others will please call and
secure their Tea, and in every case the
Tea can be returned if not more than
satisfactory.
We keep a full stock of General
Groceries.
Yours Respectfully,
Charlesworth & - Brownal.

the past. With the advantages I have in my re-

the very hot weather. Realiz!ng that the cash sys-
