' HEART ALMOST BROKEN. "Madame, . your husband was killed, I believe," said 'a duan addressing a woman who lives on the border of the Indian Territory. "Yes," she replied with a sigh, "and I could have borne the oris- fortune much Netter hall not the circumstances of his death been so distressing." „What were the circumstan- ces?" . "Well, you see, he was killed by a man who had had no experience . whatever in that line. It is sad, of course, to be killed by a professional, but to he shot down by a mere amateur is awful beyond descript- ion.• My husband was a man of much experience, and to think that he was taken off by a scrub from St. Louis alrnoat breaks, my heart." WIFE AND MONEY WANTED. Le Progtess de Valleyfield has the following novel advertiesemeut :— "A widower residing in the county of Beanharnois, Quebec, father of eight children wishes to marry again. He is 44 years old, and is worth, both in cash and real estate, about $10,000. He is well conformed, has a fair education, and would be disposed to deal liberally with his future spopse. He will desire his future wife to bring in a tnarriaga portion, the amount of which be will fix later on. He invites competitors and promises to keep secret all corres- pondence exchanged with 'him. All communications to he addressed : Progress Valleyfield. We will bind ourselves to have these letters des livered to their proper address." -. NEVER DONE. 'Men work from morn till set of sun.'

"It did, Maria," "And the stars were so bright." "They were." I wonder if the moon is so beautiful. and the stars just as bright now as theywere thin, John." "I pre - mime they are, Marin." Then, why can't we swing on the front gate now and look at the moon and. stars and the blue skies, with their fleecy clouds, as we used to do then I" "\Ve can, Maria, if we want to." Then, John, let us go out to the front gate for awhile and see if it will seen) anything like it used to." All right, Maria. You go out and try it awhile, and,if you like maybe I'll take a turn at it." But Maria thought him too much of a brute to do Anything of the kind. OUGHT TO BE AN ANGEL, " My dear," said a fond papa to his daughter, " why don't you got married 4" " I will, papa," replied the young lady, "as soon as I come across a gentleman that doesn't drink, nor amoke, nor play billiards, anis who goes to church regularly."

" CHRISTIAN " LADIES. The worst case of unsociability in church that lout ever wine to the at, tendon of the writer was that of a Christian lady who went to a church of her denomination in the strange pity to which she had recently moved, and so much liked the good doctor who was pastor of the church that she took half a pew for•the use of her little family. In the other half was a family belonging to the church ; and for a year and a half she attended regularly, and 'was never spoken to by tial Christian (1) lady sitting with her. A MAYOR'S REMARKABLE CONDUCT. The Mayor of Argonia, Kansas, gave birth to a fine -'boy, Sept. 2T. This is the first instance in the history of the world' where 'the Mayor of a city has wide such a re•• cord. it is hardly necessary to state that the Mayor of Argonia is a woman. She was elected last spring. TRIED TO WIN A 4,1I1t1 FROM HIS BROTHER. Near Mazeppa, in Milton county, Ga., there live Calvin and Itobeit Autrey, both smitten with Miss Sallie- Rogers. The other night there were services at church, which were attended by all the parties. Robert reached the lady's side first at the close of the services, and was accepted as escort. Calvin, in a rage, went ahead, and securing a white sheet, planted himself in graveyard which the couple had to pass, and played ghost. He thought thus to disgrace his brother in the eyes of the young lady by ' putting him to flight. The ghost, on all fours,uroved straight for the passers- bv,uttering dismal sounds. Robert looked at the object a minute,' and, picking up a stone, threw it at the approaching creature, crushing in the skull. 'Then for the tirst time he learned that it was his brother whom lie had laid low. The young man is believed to.be dying. • MEANING OF NAMES.

A UNIQUE •PETITION FOR DIVORCE. The Kansas City Journal pub. 'Niles a divorce petition drawn by a brilliantyounglegal wight of that city and it is on tile iu the court records, from which the following is taken : That during their married life the defendant has exhibited such dangerous traits of character, such violent passion, and such an entire abandon of her duties and obliga- tions as the wife of plaintiff, ex- I.ressing deep and unalterable h.itred of plaintiff, attacking him with tubs, broomsticks, hatchets, and whatever else she could find coli•• venient to lay her hands upon, oc• casioually interrupting the panto- minieby introducing a few adjectives, now English and then German, as best suited the fury of the star ac- tress in iter drama of real !life, so that, having ell these long, weary years borne the ',urden of the storm and the teultrest'y rage, he (the plaintiff) being by the defendant directed to leave the hnuso—hia house—with more than common every day emphasis, which simply means that the defendant, being :a woman of Targe and ninsculine pro- portions, with daunt 'esti courage, with a jaw mightier than the fabled one that, slew the Philistines, aided rind nbotted by the demon alcohol, with a great wood axe in her hand, to try the force end efficiency of which she began the work of destrue tion in the presence of the awe stricken plaintiff by cutting, break- in. ,''tinct d' ,ll►321;tqbh g the glea.nt„ill u piauo, for Omitte. bad. paid $9Q01 s though it were a *Perna tree in the W1114,, yiitto.fereatt,.;z4he4 ,like* terror ittlipiritig Aifilti the huge Uerwan matron stood playing bar work of denotation, beginning on the beautiful rosewood instrument of seven octaves, proceeding to the handsome writing -desk, her tueroury rise to the highest pitch when,with her brawny dgte, oho shatters the face of the tall, fine mirror, which will never more reflect the sweet and amiable oeuatenance of defend- ant. Having nowhere else to took for material to butcher, she turned like an executioner upon the plain, tiff, who all this while had been a silent spectator of the scene of havoc, pondering upon the immor- tality of the soul and wondering if in that far off land "woman is the vine and man the oak." But when he caught a glance from her eye and thought that he could see to tae end of life he stood not up on the order of his going but quietly vamoosed ; moving briskly, he pick- ed up his trunk, and, leaving his cross behind him in posseseion of the bowie, furniture and (tome (Alas! what a home 1), and turning his face and steps towards 1110 setting sun, he has never gone back to learn what his aforesaid wife has done with his $3,500 worth of personal property he left behind him, and, with the permission of the court, he never will. And the plaintiff fur- ther nays be always thought thebee was hived for his honey, the sheep kept for his fleece, the ox wrought for his ,srofit,tlie fowl plumed for his feathers, the tree grafted to bring forth fruit, and the earth til- led to grow corn, but all the labor and cost he has bestowed on the de- fendant during nine years are cast away, and, if he could persuade her to kiss as friends in the morns ing, before noon she would be ready to throw the (rouse out of the window, and he has never received the slightest reward for all his pains ; therefore, lest the defendant aright feel at liberty to use plaintiff as a football or a cuspidor, lie makes the • prayer hereinafter following, which is that he may be absolutely and forever divorced from her, un- conditionally. UGH ! THE NASTY MAN. A j?ittsburg elan is being sued for $50,000 damages for kissing a lady against her cheek and also against hbr will. In her petition to the court `the lady asserts that tie "kissed) her in a rude, disgraceful and unlawful planner, so that life became a burden and death desira- ble." The man had .undoubtedly been eating onions. —A young woman named Nancy Miller, who lives with her father in Nassagaweya, had a terrible exper• ience with an enraged cosy the other day, narrowly escaping with her life, and with every shred of clothing torn. from her body. It occurred in this wise : — Miss Millar went out for the cows to bring theta home to milk, and found them in a thicket and sent a deg in to • bring . them out. The dog.enraged one of them to mech. an extent that she became frantic and rushed out of the bush just where'Miss Miller was standing, and *item] of pursuing the dog rushed on her hooking and bruising her in . a terrible planner. .Hadi it not been for the young woman's presence of mind in holding on to a strap which secured a 'hell about the .animal's neck she would undoubtedly .have been killed. —At the Assizes, Cobourg, before Justice O'Conner, George Hart mer- chant, of Picton, was sued by Miss Lucy A. Yarwood for breach of pro- mise. The plaintiff is 27 years of age, and a dressmaker in Picton. She stated dist six er seven years ago defendant promised her ntariage, and th it he had kept her company ever since Until! :lrlst spring, When he married a Miss Phillips. The defence was that Hart had waver promised marriage, foal that he had been carryin; on illicit intercourse with this plaintiff dul-ing the time mentioned, hence his constant visits. The allegation way denied by the plaintiff. Mr Olute for plaintifl,l Mr. Ritchie, Q. C. fon defendant. The jury found a verdict for plaintiff, witu'dainagl'v of $500. Welllnuiks v.

'Che defendants pleaded justification, and called two witness to show that \Vdalbanks hail paid one Zufelt, a Conservative voter, three dollars to abstain from voting. \Vellbanks and another wit- ness swore that the charge' was wholly untrue.

Strayed or Stolen. — A man who had been hired to sow some clover seed at Edmore, Mich., went through the motions, but kept the seed in the bag, and then carried it home and sowed it on his own farm. —In the States of Massachusetts and Rhode Island it is as impossible to obtain beer and wine as' it is to get spirits—that is, by fair means. In both States, however, any one can get as much beer,wine, or spirits as he wants by ordering it in New York and having it sent to him, be- cause . the law prohibits only the "selling" of intoxicants in the State, not the delivery of intoxi- cants bought in another State, —Canon Wilberforce recently de- livered an outspoken address on the subject of Foreign Missions. There should be more flexibility, he said, and less rigidity in the Epis- copal Church abroad, and at home, too, :we should bo inclined to add. If the church would successtully op- pose tho advancing tide of sin and evil, it must not base itself upon its pride of pedioreo, but rather upon its life and power to -day, in this nineteenth century. —" I had a very guid telescope a one time," said a farmer to a friend. "Jist as guid a telescope as a man could wish. 'Deed, an' I hae it yet ; but it's of nae use boo. I could see the Parish Kirk clock at Campsie, ton miles awa'; but a silly gouk borrowed the thing, and tried to see a clock twenty miles awa', and I think he ream had strained the gless a' to .bits, for it has never been quid since." —Rev. Sam Small iu one of his discourses recently said :—" I was born a Democrat, raised a Democrat. I studied its Principles fully. I worked for it. I have spent money for it. I have drank whiskey for it. =i have lied for it. I have stolen bal- lots for it. I have stuffed boxes for it. I did all it told me, and it tools me within a half -mile of hell." "I reckon you squatted when you got thar," shouted an irreverent audi- tor.' — The $80,000' raft belonging to the McGraws, which was swept ashore on Whitefish Point, Michi- gan, during the recent heavy gale, is said to present a novel appear- ance. The raft contained 000,000 feet of logs, and they are piled upon the beach in a great mountain of solid pine, the overwholi'nig "force of the' sea driving them upon each other until it roared the logs into a heap., — A ' granite shaft recently quar- ried pry tho Bodwell granite com- pany in Vinalhaven, Me., is tho largest piece of stone ever quarried ou earth, and if erected will bo the highest, largest and heaviest piece of stone now itanding •or that ever stood, so far as there is any record. It considerably exceeds in length any of the Egyptian obelisks. The shaft is 115 feet long, 10 feet square at the base, and weighs 850 tons. — Dr. '.J. Handy Lovell, of Phila• del phia, is a' pronounced vegeta- rian, believing that eating meat 18 the cause of untold evils. Ho even thinks that vegetarianism is the best remedy for intemperance. I-Iis theory is that flesh eating men have au abnormal taste for drink, and that if men will only confine them- selves to vegetable food the desire for drink will be antagonized. "No man," 11e says, " who oats a pound of macaroni daily will become a drunkard. What we want is a tem. p01•ane0 vegetarian restaur'ant,where many young glen may be banqueted on macaroni, beans and rice." —At the last session of the Min- nesota legislature the license fed for saloons was raised to $1,000 in cities with a population of 10,000 or more, and to $500 in smaller places. The result is that 1110 number of saloons has been greatly reduced. Where 1,650 saloous flourished un- der the old law there are now but '1,100. In Jliuneapolis the number was reduced 334 to 227, in Duluth from 113 to 64, in Winona from 94 to 33 and in Stillwater from 42 to 39. The substantial result is,a re- duction of one-third in the number of saloons, an increase of one-third in tho amount of revenue derived from the business and a general agreement that drunkoI,,poss has diminished.

BELL &-CO., Guelph, OfltT NEWSPAPER LAWS We call the special attention• of Post nastel's and subscribers to the following synopsis of the newspaper laws :— • 1—A postmaster is required to, give notice BY I.E'rTER (returning a paper does pot"answerthe law) when a subscriber does aot take his paper out of the office, and ;tate ' the reason for its not being taken. Any neglect to do so makes the postmaster responsible to the publishers for payment. 2 -If any person orders his paper alis. ;ontinued; ho must pay all arrearages, or the publisher may continue to send it until payment is made, and collect Or whole amount; whether it be taken frog the office or not. There can be no lega, discontinuance until the payment is made 3—Any person who takes a paper from the post -office, whether directed to kir name or another, or whether he has sub scribed or not, is, responsible for the pay. 4—If a subscriber orders his paper to le stopped at a certain time, and the publish er continues to send, it the subscriber is bound to pay for it if he takes it out of th post -office. This proceeds upon the growl, that a man must pay for what he use; werIn 1120 Divisioii Court in Goderich at the November sitting a newspaper put - fisher sited for pay of paler. '1he defend• sot objected paying on the ground that lie had ordered a former proprietorof the paper to discontinue it. The .fudge held that that was not a valid defence.
