Miscellaneous
Who time and space, wants, the
li bit$.ru ss, or the duties of life separate
us 1r,:e those we love so far that Our
help is useless to them, our vuioes silent,
our eyes blind; when we know that
sufrisg, illness, danger, death may lis
in wait for them every hour, and no
strength or longing of ours con avail to
help them, where du they fly, whet hope
or comfort do they have who cannot give
their beloved into the safekeeping of en
omnipotent God; who cannot pour nut
their tortured and anxious hearts to Him
who heareth and enswereth preyed
What is more charming than en agree-
able. graceful woman', Here and there
we meet one who possesses the fairy-like
power of enchanting all about her; some-
times she is ignorant herself of the tragi-
cal influence, which is, however, fur that
reason only the more perfect. Her
presence lighta up the hone; her ap_
proach is like a cheering warmth, she
passes by and we are happy. To behold
her is to live; she is the aurora with a
human face. She has no need to do
more than simply to be; she makes an
Eden of the house; paradise breathes
from her; and she cvutmunicates this
delight to all without taking any greater
trouble than that of existing beside
them. Le not here an inestimable gift 1
nosed, w111 eye t.
A short tune ago our a4vertuing agent
called upon a certain party us businw
to the sity and naked him why he did
not advertise in the h Uri&
"Oh, because," he atuwered "What's
the use! Nobody will ever see it."
"You're sristaksa." said we.
"Even if they did read my ad., people
would weft think of it again. I don't
want to advertise."
"No buts at all. I don't want to ad-
vertise; don't bother me any more. I'm
busy."
And he walked back int. his store and
strangled a poor little fly that was help-
ing itself from a barrel of sugar.
'Time passed, and the agent never
again intimated "advertisement" to him,
although meeting him daily. Yesterday
the gentleman called at our sanctum,
looking a little uncertain as to how he
would be received. We cherished no
hard feelings, and motioned him a
chair.
"I suppose you heard .,f that little af-
fair of none below T
"Oh, yes," said we, "that little esca-
pade on Queen street night before last !
Yes, we've got all the particulars"—
"Huth ! Not so loud, please," amid lir
"of course you are not going to my.
nothing m the paper about it '1'
"And why not 1 It's a matter of in-
terest to your friends and the public
generally."
"Heavens ! Why it will ruin me T"
"Oh no, guess not. Nobody will
ever see it ?"
"Yes they will ! And it will ruin me
as sure as I'm sitting here. I'll be the
laughing stock of the town. They will
see it
We ruse and touched him impressive-
ly on the shoulder.
"Well, we will admit that the people
will see it; but then, you know, they
will never think of it again."
His words caste back to him like a
flash, and he trembled so violently that
his eyeballs fairly jingled; and he was
such an object of commiseration that we
promised,, to keep mum. This little
moral is drawn from above, which is
applicable the world over : Ask a man
to advertise, and he will immediately
say in the minority of cases that "No-
body will ever see it," but advertise
gratis some little indiscretion he may
commit and he immediately grows indig-
nant over the certainty that the whole
world will know it. - [Toronto World.
A true wife will not cherish her hus-
band's weaknesses by working upon
them to her own advantage. She should
not irritate hits. If irritation should oc-
cur, women must expect to hear fnnu
moat men a strength and vehemence of
language far more than the occasion re-
quires. Mild, as well as stern men are
prone to this exaggeration of language;
let nut a woman be tempted ever to say
anything sarcastic or violent in retali-
ation. The bitterest repentance must
needs follow such indulgence if she does.
Men frequently forget what they have
themselves said, but seldom what is
uttered by their wives. They are grate-
ful, too, for forbearance in such case*,
for while asserting most loudly that they
are right, they are often conscious that
they are wrong.
The first requsite to success is net to
undertake an unwise and impracticable
thing. For this reason the advice often
inculcated by wise and great inen has
been to give much time and reflection to
the formation .,f plans. Be slow to de-
cide; but having resolved, be prompt to
act. It is not sufficient, by any means,
t' be prompt in beginning to act. That
is easy to every one. It is the con-
tinued, persevering. unflagging activity
which accomplishes great results. The
temptations which beset a man's steps at
every stage to divert his attention from
the main pursuit he has fixed on are al-
most innumerable, and, if he is irreso-
lute and weak, they are found irresist-
ible. This accounts for numerous fail -
urea. If a moan has not attained what
h, started for, it will almost always be
found that he has been attending to
something else. The song of the bird
by the way,..le fell upon his ear and
charmed his senses, or the bright flower
caught his eye and he lingered. when his
pace should have been onward and firm.

Ftrap. —Leat weak, Most& Snell and
John Armstrong, "Temperance Hew"
keepers, appeared before Reeve Kerr,
and at his request made a deposit of $90
and meta each, in the village Treasury.
They sold liquor without a license.
Foto Solon. —Mr. James Stroud has
sold his 100 acre farm in Ashfield, for
over $5,000, half to his brother David
and half to Mr. Robert Reid, and has
purchased Seo acres in Kincardine T'p.
from Mr. Hugh Lamont, for $4,900,
which is understood to be a bargain. Mr.
Robert Ferguson has sold his farm, lot
3, con. 10, Huron Township, to Mr
John Jones, of Wawanosn, for $4,500.
What is a gentleman ? Ho is a mail
who, with a good education and honest
principles, combines an agreeableappear-
ance and good manners; who is properly
dressed and knows how to behave; who
does not upset tables and chairs when he
enters a room, or bottles and glasses
when he dines; who does not tread on
people's corns when he passes, or wound
their feelings by harsh remarks about
theirweakness when he talks with them.
But the most characteristic feature'of the
gentleman is his chivalrous heart, that
makes him dislike everything low and
mean. What is A lady—what is a
woman with lady -like manners ?
She is a well educated, accomplished and
good -principled woman, with a quiet
and nice, but at the same time a decided
and independent appearance. A lady
knows how to wear a dress with a trail
a yard long without inconveniencing
others, end looksnicewithacrinnlinelike
balloon and without a starchon petticoat.
She dresses beoemingly, whether the
fashion is *bonnet sticking out as the
wings of a mill or hat the sine of a sau-
cer; she looks pretty in her cambric
morning dress, and in her rose -silk dress
with the white tonic. A lady knows
how to move properly; she treads
firmly on the ground. A lady is not
afraid of a gentleman, and why ahnuld
she be? She looks at him as much se she
likes in a railway terrine, she bows to
him when she meets him in the street,
she shakes hands with him when he en-
ters her home, she writes in a bold hand
a letter to him when she wants anything
of him. and she joinegsntlemen'seonver-
sation with a great pleasure, sad gives
her opinion about art and meioses, music
and painting, home and foreign onus -
tries, education and traysliwg, and even
about church and state tatters, wittiest
making any souse for her Widnes,
that. se a lady, she has an opinion of
her own.

.The wife of an Indian at Bownianville,
whose feet got frozen during the winter,
went to the chairman of the Poor Relief
Committee stating her husband was
dead, and asking money to bury him
The proper authority having been
granted, the undertaker was requested
to attend to the case, but when he pre-
sented himself he found the Indian alive
and smoking a pipe.
From a judgment delivered by Mr.
Justice Osler in a case early this month
it appears that candidates for municipal
honors must no longer rely on what
they consider to be the actual value of
their property. No qualification is good
unless it is an ownership, by asifmment,
and not by market value, of $l,500,
clear of all mortgages and incumbrances.
If a mortgage exists on the property a
Councillor depends upon for qualification
that mortgage must be taken from the
assessed value for taxation of his estate,
and not the value he himself or even a
professional valuator may place upon it.
The Same rule applies to the leasehold
qualification; the leasehold must he of a
value of $3,000 assessment, over and
above all mortgages and incumbrances.
It is getting quite clear that the days
of the flour barrel are numbered. Bar-
rels are beaten by bags at every point.
Barrels cost 30 or 40 cents each, and
cannot be brought back empty. Cotton
sacks holding half a barrel cost only ten
cents, and can be returned over and over
again. Leas flour eifta through hags
than through barrels. Further, flour
shipped in bags gains weight in crossing
the ocean. It is said that a shipment of
1,200 bags of flour to Glasgow gained
1,800 pounds in weight nn the voyage.
Of conrse the substitution of bags for
barrels will in the end increase the price
to be received by the farmers.

The police authorities of Hamilton did
the public a genuine service by making a
raid upon a cock -pit in the vicinity of
that city, seizing the birds to the num-
ber of about thirty, and "spoting" as
malty as they could catch of the parti-
cipants in the `'main." If there is one
species of cruelty more cowardly and
unmanly than another in the region of
illicit sport it is the brutal pastime of
cock -fighting. The law very properly
forbids it, and prescribes a penalty for
indulgence in it. In spite of this fact
public sentiment and the law are alike
set at defiance by those who are incur-
laby addicted to this pernicious, cruel
and degrading habit. The example set
by the Hamilton police should be emu-
lated by the authorities all over the
country until it becomes a well -under-
stood fact that this violation of the law
cannot be porVetrated with any chance
whatever of immunity from punish-
ment.
"PEACHINo."—The following, res-
pecting two well known athletes, will be
read with interest : "E. W. Johnston,
having dissolved partnership with O. C.
Roes, has been opening out to a Provid-
ence reporter. He declares that all the
recent contests in which Ross has figur-
ed have been put-up jobs, that the re-
ported rows and disputes were all pre-
arranged to draw cmwda, that the cham-
pionship belt which Ross shows was
purchased for $30, and that most of his
medals were bought. When rogues fall
oat if honest men don't exactly get their
dues they at any rate learn enough to
warn them against being duped again.
