All the ages of time and eternity affected by the hapket let down from a Damascus balcony, THE MOTHER-IN-LAW. A mother-in-law can be au object of loathing only when she interferes on behalf of the wife, and if inter- ference were not necessary it would hardly cause so much feeling. But wise mothers do not even interfere. There is too much diplomacy in the feminine mind for anything so ap- parent.. Their purpose is certainly the happiness of the young people, and if the experience which a long- er life gives moans anything, it means the greater power to avoid mistakes. To cry out against exper- ience when it does not jutup with one's which is like crying out against' quinine because itis bitter. Certainly there are as many fool- isit old women in tho world as there are foolish young ones, and the wise roan, should select a -mother- in-law with almost as- much care as he should use in selecting a wife. There never was anything truer than the old rhyme : ily son is my son till he gets him a wife, But my daughter's my daughter the whole of her life. And, the wooer should recognize this treat and govern himself ac- cordingly. If he chooses wisely, both as parent and child, ho tvi11 be as happy as the day is long, and he will pass on his happiness to an- other generation and furnish Niue other lucky fellow with au equally admirable mother-in-law when his time comes. Unfortunately, people do not always do this. They run after a white fluffy petticoat and a pair of blue eyes, and are 1iost clamorously unhappy when they find out what, they have done. Who does not know families where the wife's mother is honored, a love- ly and a loving unit istrong in her power for good ; tender, gentle and useful ; filling ell_ those functions for which a noble womanhood was planned, self -forgetful, self-effaceful, living as true lvumeu love to live • only for others, happy in their hap piness, fond. of the daughter she bore and the new son who has come to her, with a mother's fondness. There can be no prettier domestic picture, nor one which is oftener true. And when the mother-in-law has changed into the grandmother there are few who will deny. its truth, for it is manifest for all to see. ONE OF TIIE OLD', V TIME. The O'Gorman Mahu:, is to come back • -to Parliament ase Parnellite for the Carlow vacancy. The splen- did old Gaellic nobleman, now in his eighty-sixth year, was a familiar figure on the Ltish benches before the Redistribution Act of throe years ago doubled the strength of the Irish party in Ireland. It was decided then to bind all the Parnel- lites by a pledge vote at all tithes, and Tho O'Gorman was left off in the delegation, because his old time affection for Mr. Gladstone prevent- (' his promising not to act with th .ibcrals on occasion. The ex- clusio t was not decided on without regret, for ' o,as ayoung man,hacl i,ro• posedO'Con( for Clare in 1827,ancl had always been 1 petriotsince. But he comes back not and his tall form, with his grand!, vine white beard, strong, haudsouho..*,, and courtly . manners of a time e ban poor Dublin was still ono of polite capitals of Europe, will be very welcome.

CANADIAN. —.James Camden, a farts laborer employed near St. Thomas, was thrown from a load of hay and im- paled on a fence picket. He will hardly recover. —Mr. George Hueter, of the 10th concession of Blenheim, has a 7 year-old boy of w'houi he may be proud. This bright little fellow has recently cut 40 acres of wheat and oats with a self -binder. The boy has done this without any assis ance, and the work has been pro- nounced first clues by many persons who have seen end t-xamined it. —John. J. Tilley came to Toronto from England iu the fore part of the season, and obtaiued work as a mason. About throe weeks ago he was followed by a prepossessing English girl, to whom he was mar- ried.. Atter three weeks' of married life the police had to bo called in to prevent his murdering her white drunk. The girl left a happy though humble home In England and hoped that her devotion would have reformed the man she so deeply loved. —The other eight arrangente-nus were completed for the marriage of a West Oxford young lady and an Ingersoll gentleman, but the groom at the last. .u►onr• eat backed out and failed to put in an appearance, The disappointed bride heroically invited the assert: bled guests to enjoy themselves as if the little hitch Ahad not occurred, and it is .learned that just as good a tune was spent as if the marriage bad taken place. —A short time ago a Belleville young lady advertised for a husband and the advertisement was answered by a young man from Campbell - ford. Several letters passed be- tween the parties, giving a good commencement to a breach of pro- mise ease in the future, when the gentleman in the case mot an old flame of his, dropped the Belleville lady and published all the corres- pondeuco in the Campbellford Herald. R 'i'stere is no., truth in the state - motet that an arrangement was effect- ed beweon Minister Foster and the American Admiral tending to faeili tate the settlement of the fishery question. Since the vigorous en- forocemout of the treaty Americn vessels, according to advices to the .fisheries department, are returniug home empty handed, while the Cana- dians are making big hauls. The mackerel catch along the Anroricau coast has proved a failure, and fish will be worth almost its weight in gold this fall. "On Sunday morning at six o'clock, there died at his residence South .Dumfries , Mr. Daniel O'Neal, one of the pioneers of that part of the country, and one ?close- ly identified with the rise and pro. grecs of the the town of Paris. Mr. O'Neal was born in the county of Dawn, Ireland, in the year 1779, in which place he spent his early life and attained to the state of man- hood. In 1830 he carne to Canada and settled in South 'Dumfries, where he resided till the time of his death. He was successful and suc- ceeded in attaining to niftily places of honor and trust. 51re.
