The Huron Expositor, 1892-03-11, Page 7MARcH 11, 1892 THE HURON EXPOSITOR dleide-aedhe We Have Seen A young man sell kiefarm, turn merchant, break down and die insolvent. A farmer sped so much time in town that there was nothing at home worth look- ing after. A worthy farmer's on idle away the prime -of his life in dissipation and end bis career in poverty. A farmer teo self -conceited to mend his way and too obstinate to mend his foot- eteps. A poor boy grow rich by industry and good management, and a rich boy grow poor her ildlenesa and dissipation. A men spend more money in folly than would support his family in comfort and independence. A farmer deliver a fine oratian at the agricultural fair, with his fences all down, -fields overgrown with weeds, stock forag- ing on a neighbor's field and his taxes un- paid. Saying the Pleasant Thing. Any one who hat read the Water Babies will remember Kingsley's characterization of the smooth spoken, battering Dennis: "And then Dennis will look up at you with his handtome, sly, soft, sleepy, good-natured, untrustable, Irish -gray eye, and answer with his prettiest smile, Shure, and didn't I think your honor would like a pleasant answer ?" The art of paying noble compliments, and the humbler gilt ot being quick ta seer the pleasant thing, are among the most desirable equipments for one who would succeed in winning golden opinions from all sorts of people. Louis XIV. of France had both. If he carried them too far, who shall say that the fault was more reprehensible than the gruff, almost brutal sayings of some other monarchs ? He was once "harangued by a very indIfferent orator," whose tedious- ness displeased the courtiers, but the king complimented him. At this, a lady who was present expreesedther surprise to His Majesty, and received this answer : "I think, indeed, madam, as you do, of the speaker, but if a civil word or two will render a man happy, he must be a wretch indeed who will not give them to hint." On another occasion Louis stood at the top of the great staircase to receive the gallant Conde after one of his great battles. The prince, then in his fifty-fourth year, MILS troubled with gout end ascended the stairs slowly. When he reached the top he apologized for keeping His Majesty wait- ing so long. "My cousin," replied tbe monarch, "make no apelegies ; one who is so laden with laurels as you are cannot move quiekly." Among the neatest compliments ever said were two by a little Spanish boy in the olden time. He must have inherited in generous measure from his Morisco -Spanish ancestors the happy art for which those courtly people are famed. One day when all the Wilily happened to be abeent, the king (so runs the etory) came to the house, and being much attracted by the brightnes3 of the child, put the question "Which house do you think the prettier, your father's or the palace of the king?" Quick came the reply "My father's, when the king is in it.' Then the delighted sovereign showed him a ring, and asked him if any- thing could be prettier than that? To which the answer was: "The finger that wears And here, from the Waehington Post, is a story of a "gallant young Chinaman," who in these prosaic times was as ready with a courtly reply, born of a courtly nature, as the chivalric little Spaniard of a by -gone century. - A secretery of the Chinese Embassy in Waehington was introduced to a lady, who among other questions asked him: "What virtue do you most highly prize in yeur women?" The virtue of the domesticity," was the reply. "Then you do not like your women to move in society much?" she questioned. "Not at all. Our law even recognizes cause for diverce when a woman --pardon me, madame -is inquieitive and talkative." " Then I would be in danger of being divorced if I lived in China ? " smilingly asked the lady. " The very day that ray cauntry would have the luck to pO858E8 a womanly being like you," replied the gallant son of the Heavenly Realm, " every cause for divorce would be remove& from the world." - Amanda 13. Harris in Wide Awake. "Aurania's" Remarkable Flight. "Aurania" is a homing pigeon and he made his remarkable flight from the ocean steamship Anrania to his home in Plainfield, New Jersey. A friend of mine before sail- ing for Europe last July asked if he might take one of my homing pigeons out with him on the ocean to send a message home to his friends. I selected Aurania (he had no name then but simply a number), as he was a fine strong bird and had a long pedigree whieh contained many noted ancestors. Ha had never been flown before except on a few short journeys. But his wonderful flight from the ocean proved that it is a goad thing to come of noted stock. The bird was placed ha a baeket, the bottom of which was covered with hay and had every thing to make him comfortable and plenty of food in the basket. He was sent aboard ithe steamer the day it sailed and was put byt my friend in his stateroom. He Welff brought up on deck toward even- ing when the ship was -well on the way to foreign lends, and was the cause of my friend becoming acquainted with many of the passengere, as they had Many queetions to ask concerning homing pigeons. And when they were told that this bird would be liberated the next morning when the ship was hundreds of miles out from New York, some thought it was impossible that the bird could ever reach home. At sunrise the next morning my friend again brought the homer on deck. A crowd of passengers was already there at this early hour to gee this intelligent messenger start oa his homeward flight. The message written to friends at home wae on a thin piece of paper about four inches square. This was folded up into a small wad, placed in a sort of rubber pouch and fastened securely with fine copper wire around the leg of the bird. Aurania was then replaced in the basket and taken up on the bridge of the steamer, and at exactly six o'clock the baeket was opened and the bird darted ont. After making one large circle above the ship he started off like a fleeet on an air -line course for home -keeping the same course as long as he could be seen from the ship. When .Aurania WRS released the ship was in latitude 400 33' north, longitude 68 ° 9' weet-just three hundred and twenty-nine and seven -tenths statute miles from his home. . I hardly expected to see my bird arrive home the same day from this long distance ou thci ocean, but I was nevertheless on the lookout for him, and I with eeveral friends were delighted to see him alight on the pigeon -cote at four -forty p.m. Re entered the cote at once and I quickly caught him in the net. I took the message off and hurried with it to my friend's home. Of course his folks were delighted to hear from him ; and how novel it was to receive this message from this long dietance on the ocean The message contained about one hundred and thirty words, and among other things told how they were passing many shipe, but that the steamship La Normandie was beating them. I have flown my birds several times before from the ocean, but never had one make such fast time from this distance. Of coarse they make much faster time when they By over the land. As a rule homing pigeoes when liberated OR the ocean first fly directly to the neareat land and then direct their course for home, but Aurania must have kept on an sir -line course across the water, and flown continuously until he reached inime. The wind and weather were very favorable for Aurania's journey, and I suppose. as he is a, very strong bird, that he felt confident that he could fly in a direct line across the waters, instead of first flying to the nearest land and resting before re- suming his homeward flight, -Charles E.

His wife waited until the water was boiling, then took a dip- perful of it and threw it upon her bleeping husbend, scalding his head, face and breast. The woman at once rushed out of the house, locking the door after her. The man had to walk one mile to the nearest neighbor. His cave is a serious one, but the man will proba- bly recover. -Twenty years ago one of the most pop- ular and prosperous physicians in Belleville was Dr. Dorland. He enjoyed a practice so extenetive that it became necessary to secure a partner, and keep a prescription office equal in resources to a small drug store. But in an evil day he became addicted to the opium habit and then everything went.

The "Autocrat" as a Lecturer. " In 1852 Doctor Oliver Wendell Holnaes delivered in various cities a course of lec- tures on the "English Poets of the Nine- teenth Century." He was mech in demand, and for several years travelled about the country actively during the lecture season. He stated his lecturing terms in a letter to a certain official as follows : "My terms for a lecture, when I stay over night, are fifteen dollars and expenses, a room with a fire in it, in a public house and a mattress to sleep on -not a feather bed. "As you write in your individual capac- ity, I tell you at once my habitual exi- gences. I am afraid to sleep in a cold room; I can't sleep on a feather bed ; I will not go to a private house." Doctor Holmes' landlady had the follow- ing obeervations to make on this period of his career :- "He was a man that loved to stick round home as mud, as any cat you ever saw in your life. He wed to Bey he'd as lief haee a tooth pulled as to go away any wheres. Always got sick, he said, when he went away, and never sick when he didn't." "Pretty nigh killed himself going about lecturing two or three winters, but he get nigh enough of it, and said he preferred natural death to putting himself out of the world by such violent means as lecturing." Political Partizanship. There is, we fear, too much truth in the following, which we take from the Toronto Telegram: What a country this is for polities? Low as the mercury may be in the thermometer these are red-hot days in the contested con- stituencies. Fellow partisans are forgetting old quarrels in their enthusiasm for the faction, and new quarrels are separating personal friends who differ in politics, one from the other. Local loves and hatreds are the basis of political formations in this country. The units in each party vote to- gether under the leadership of some rural Bill Smith or Tom Jones. Thus the habit is formed, and so long as the policy of the opposing party is typified by the hatefulneas of a neighbor on the other side, the unit does not change his vote. Politica is a mat- ter of local likes and dislikes, or hereditary impulse, with ninety out of every hundred Canadiane. Policies may change, but their partisan hearts are always ready to frame excuses that keep their votes from following their opinions into the camp of the party with whose policy they may be in intellect- ual accord. Some Girls' Ways. It was Saturday morning in a big farm- house kitchen: Nell was bending over the sink picking a chicken, with a decided scowl on her face; Hattie was kneading bread with an expression of grim determina- tion suitable for a soldier scaling his ene- mies' breastworks; and Susan was shelling peas, her pretty face spoiled by the settled discontent about the mouth. The girls were not talking -they never talked while they worked -but they often•spoke sharply and unkindly. Work was to them a separ- ate state of existence, in which the Chris- tian graces played no part. "Did I leave my whip in bore ?" asked a hesitating voice at the open door, and a boy in a big straw hat appeared behind the voice. "No," snapped Nell, " but's a wonder yolu didn't, for you are always leaving something around for us to tread on." "It has fallen under your chair, Susan," he said, coming in to pick it up. "Ned, you are always bothering some- body," fretted &aim, while she arose with ungraciousness in every movement, " Father callei me to come quick and catch the _chicken, and I stood it in the Children Cry for corner," replied Ned, roughly, and gladly made his escape. That same morning, in a neighboring farm -house kitchen, Lucy was kneading the bread as deftly AS Hattie, but at the same time planning with Helen and Grace how to earn money for their mission -boxes; Grace had a funny story to tell while she washed the dishes ; and Helen told them of a mea- dow -lark she -saw while picking the straw- berries that she was now Milling for the *strawberry short•cake for dessert. Sam came in with an -armful of wood, threw it noisily on the wood -box, twitched Grace's curls, made believe to dive his hands into Luoy's pan of our, snatched the largest strawberry from Helen's dish, and pranced out whistling ta Sunday school hymn. The girls smoothed out the little smile that Sam's antics always brought to their faces, and began to sing his hymn, being echoed by Fanny, who was sweeping the • front stairs.

Years of experience as a lisirdreeser, during which time I have experimented with every recommended preparation, not ohe has (nor I might say, even all put together) given the eatisfaction that Anti -Dand- ruff has.

FONTAINE, Proprietor barber shop Balmoral Hotel, Montreal, PrOaince of Quebec. merrusat, August 4th, 1801. It is e pleaspre for me to say good words in favor of Anti -Dandruff, as its merits cannot be questioned. In my own case, Dandruff not only tiescie itself known by appearance in more than liberal quantities from which I could not obtain relief, but its continued presence and increasing formation caused falling of the hair. My barber spoke highly of Anti -Dandruff. I used it, and not wily has every trace of Dandruff disappeared but the falling of the hair has stopped. Having full faith in the preparation I not only en- dorse it for the above but further add that as a fine dressing for the hair nothing equals it. L.
