Now, our citizens are not immaculate and make no pretense to being such, That they are susceptable to the usual failings of human nature we will not deny, and who oan blame them when the thermometer atands at 90 odd in the shade, but to have our finer feel- ings exposed, as it were, to the public gaze and to think that we cannot even dispense with a part of our usual wearing apparel without having insinuations made to the effect that we bad left our habiliments in trust for certain moisten- ings of the clay, it is too much of a "muchness." If our correspondent looks bona fide items for the Ethel column could he not give ua a few extraots from the Pilgrim's Progress (not from the Plot) or that Sunday school book, "Lines left oub," which would undoubtedly snit the mental calibre of the majority of his readers. If his articles are aorimonous while hie digestion is good what may we expeot on bis return now that the green cucumber once more asserts its rights to attack the vitals of the community 7 SPOUT.

All departed for their homes fully con- vinced that it idmore bleesed to give than receive.
