An Idyl.
I Saw her first a day in spring,
By the side of a stream, as I fished along,
And loitered to -hear the robihe sing, • • „
And guessed at the secret they told in song.
The apple blossoms, so:white and red,
Were mirrored beneath in the streanalett
‚now;
And the sky was blue far overhedd,
And far in the depths of the brook•helovi.
I lay half bid by a mosgy stone,
And looked in the water for flower and sky;
heiad a sten-I was not alone
And the vision of loveliness met any eye.
I saw her come to the other side,
And the apple blossonas were not more lair-;
She stooped to gaze in the sunlight tide,
And her eyes met mine in the water there.
She stopped in timid and mute serpriee, •
And that look might have laded till now, I
ween:
But, modestly dropping bar dove -like eyes,
She turned her away, to the meadow green.
I stood in wonder and rapture lost
At her slender form and step so free,
At her raven locks by the -breezed tossed,
As she kicked up her heels in the air for glee.
The apple blossoms are withered now,
But the sky, and the meadow, and streatns are
there;
lord whenever I wander that way Iyow
That striae day I'll buy me that little black
mare.

Speaking at the banquet given in hie
honor by the kik James Club, Montreal, on
Thursday last, the Mart:leis of Lansdowne
said the fabric of moiety is more mild. in
Canada than it is in Britain, bemuse
wealth and land are more equally divided.
He said;
Vero then, gentlemen, in the even distribu-
tion of wealth, and particularly a landed
property, and in the general diffesion of
0011120r0, in your system of looal govern-
ment and in your arrangements for public;
education you have them buttresses likely
to give strength and eolidity to that of
which I have spoken as the fabric of
cicedety in Canada, and to render her people
prosperous; contented, intelhgeut and well
qualified to loth after their Own, business.
(Applause.) We have been waking of the
mewl NUM: of the Doniinwn. There is,
however, another fakirio whioh Ave MUM/
pot lose sight of --the for the strengthening
and coneolidation • of which all geed
Canadians are ready to put forth wbateirer
of energy and ability. and patriotiem they
possess -that is the fabric which w ehould,
I euppose, speak, of as the poiitioal or
national fabrio of Canada. Perhage I shall
seem to you mom coerageoue thaTdisoreet
if I tread tor en instant on ground which is
seemly sus firm as that over which' I have
travelled till now. Well, sir, X suppose nti
Englishmen would be so sauguine as to say
that we have no weak rointa in our national
system at home, and lam inclined to say with
regard to Canada that he would be •a bold

It 'would indeed be strange if it were othe

which unless We wish to be fatuous we eau -
not shut our eyes, In . the, first Places we
have to bear m mind that the foundations
of our nationalsyetem here were laid only
seventeen years ago, and that we have been
adding to and altering the strueture ever
since. The mortar, eo to speak, has scarcely
had time to -harden, and the'strength of the
building to stand the atitumn gales and'the
frosts of winter has scareely had a fair trial
yet. A.nother consideration of which we
cannot lose sight* thie, that the benders

"No; I an not going to do. it, but
show you how tlee done," said a, horse den-
tist, to a Hews reporter yesterdattafternoon.
he had just finished au operatton on the
grinders ot a mare that pulled on one line,
kept her mouth open when being driven,
slobbered all the time, and had got to act.
ing ugly and vicioua simply beeellse wine
of tier back teeth had sharp points whith
out into the sides of her mouth.
Now this mare is about 15 years old,
buteshe could be fixed up BO as to look like
one of 7 or 8. You see, the only way you
can tell a horse's age ie by the teeth. The
lower front teeth are the principal guides,
the length of the upper ones going to show
age; but you see that can be fixed easy
enough by filing them off, These teeth --
here the horse dentist opened the mare's
mouth, showtng the six lower trent ones -
don't come before a hose is 5 years old.
The ones before that age are colt's teeth.
At 6 yeare of age each onset these has a effil•
" Whe,t'e E cup?"
"That's a little round hole in the end of
the tooth with a bile:kept in it. When the
hoes is 7 years old these cups disappear in
the two middle teeth but remain in the two
outside ones on each side: At 8 years the
cups are only on the two outside teeth.
Atter that age they disappear on all of
them. That's why so many hooses just
turned ' are sold. When these oupa are
gone you can't tell how old a hoes is. Now,
if vie wantedto work this mare off on any-
body for an 8-year.old, I'd just take this
instrument, dig a little hole in each of these
outside teeth, touch these holm with a
nitric acid, file down the.upper row of teeth
to tke proper length for an 8,year-old, and
the job is done,"
"Would that deceive an'expert "
" Oertainly. He'd just open the mouth
this way, eaten at the teeth, eatisfy him-
self she was an 8-year.old, and if she
suited him in other ways and the price* was

Sleep as a Rledicine.
The ory for rest has always been louder
than the ory for food. Not that it is more
important, hued le often harder to" obtain.
The best reat comes from sound pleep. Of
two men or women otherwise equal, the one
who sleeps the beet will be the most moral:
healthy and efficient.- Sleep will do much
to care irritability of temper, peeviehneee
and uneasiness. Itwibi restore to Vigor an
overworked brain. It will build up aud
make etrong a weary body. It will oure
headache. ' lt Imre a broken spirit.
It will cure sorrow. Indeed, we might
make- a long list of nervous and other ma
ladies that sleep will cure. The cure of
sleeplessness requires a clean, good bed,
sufficient exercise to produoe weariness,
pleasant' occupation, good air and nob too
warm a. room, a clear coesoienee and
avoidance of stimulants and narcotics. For
those who are overworked, haggard and
nervous, who pass sleepless nightie we com-
mend the adoption of mob habits as shall
seoure• sleep; otherwise, life will be short,
and what there is of it eadly imperfect.
