To prevent him. so bold and uDdaunted;
But as smitten by lightning, he heard her exclam,
Avaunt sir !" and of he avaunted.
But when he returned with the fendishest laugh,
Showing clearly that he was afronted,
And threatened by main force to carry her on
She cried Don't" and the poor fellow donted.
When he meekly approached and got down at her feet,
Praying loud, as before he had ranted
That she would forgive him and try to be sweet,
And said, "Can't you!'-tlle dear girl recantcd.
Then softly he whispered" How could We do so?''
Icertainly thought was Tilted.
But come thou with me, to the parson wen go,
Say, wilt thou my dear?" and she wilted.
Then gaily he took her to see her new home

lie said, 'Shant we, my dear?' Sothey shantied,

JAPAN.-N appears that the Russians were
informed by the Japanese authorities that in
about two months treaty would be negotiated
by which the Japanese trade would be opened
to all western nations in twelve months after
wards. This tallies with the fact that in two
months after the visit Of the Russians, the Amer

CELIBACY IN ENaLAND.-The British census
shows that celibacy prevails to a large extent in
England. Out of return of 81 600 households
only Al ,916 are genuine families, the remainder
being domicils kept by spinsters, bachelors,
widows, and widowers. As this is Not an ex-
ceptional statement, but given as fair average
of the census report, more than third of the
adult population of England would appear to be
unmarried. In the southeastern division the
result was even worse, for here, of women under
forty five, l70, 900 only were wives, while 100,
600 were spinsters or widows. 3. 77'eeg "a
