A Spendthuift Election.

A Lopdon correspondent of the National
Intelligencer, alluding 10 the recent elections
throughout Great Britain, says that.a great
improvement has taken place within the Ian
half century. He says that in 1885, contest
took place which was known as the spend.
thrift election. The polling lasted for fourteen
days, and the candidates were Lord Halifax,
Northampton and Spencer iIn proof Of the
.,..-.,..iie,.t i.a-=1A 3Ease4
number of real electors did not exceed $50,
no fewer than 1149 persoDs voted. The al.
most princely mansions Of Horton, Castle
Ashby, and Allhrope, were thrown open 10
all voters, and when The cellars at Horton
were drained of all The old port, and Lord
Halifax had to place bis claret befoIe the ca
rous ers, they declared they would never vote
for a man who gave them sour por, and wenI
over in body 10 Lord Northampton al Castle
Ashby The election was referred 10 scru-
Tiny of the House Of Commons; The inquiry
lasted for six weeks, during which sixty Gov
ers were daily laid at Spencer House fol
members, whose names we're taken down
each day. Ii resulted in the number of votes
being declared equal, and was finally decided
by toss-Lord Spencer winning and nomi-
mating the member. The election cost Lord
Spencer fiOo, 900, and each Of the other lords
fl5O, ,O00-almost incredible sums, when
they are doubled, 10 express their present val.
ue; about "a, 4,0oo, 900, representing the total
expenditures in money. of this day! Lord
Halifax never recovered the blow. Lord
Northampton cut down bis trees, sold his fur.
nilure, and went abroad for the rest Of hi'
life, dying in Switzerland. There is "a sealed
box al Cas,le-Ashby marked ELECTION Pa
pers," which no one Of the present genera
ton has had the courage 10 open. This, we
are aware, is an extreme case; but we have
known others which have approached II even
since 1900. ...t.

The Last Rat Tale.

A gentleman on The Bay Informed ne yes
terday that in order 10 destroy The number d
rats on his premises, be was 10 the habit o.
placing tempting bait 10. the yard, and on
seeing agood crowd of "vafmints'' 'around
it, would shoe, Them down from convenient
spot. AS the rats began to get shy Of the
common bait, he procured a flask Of sweeI
almond oil, and buried il in hole in the yard
with only The mouth uncorked above the lev.
ell. The rats could not resist the tempting
flavor of the oil, so they came with great
rush, and not few Jared badly.
Yesterday morning the gentleman saw two
patriarchal looking rats cogiiating over the
oil flask, how TO get taste of the luscious ar.
licIe within. p i sisH
Afterexamining all around, one Of them
frightened up with an idea. He inserted bis
long tail into the oil flask, and when it was
well moisenec with the sweet oil, drew il oul
and permitted his friend 10 lick il.
On the principle .ha, one good turn deserves
another, rat number Two inserted his dorsal
eionga'ion into ths-oil flask, and allowed raj
number one to enjoy the feast This inriailing
process was kept amicably for some time,
,'il rat number two, who was evidently a
goarmand, instead of oonfning himself ic
licking his friends caudsl appendsge, aciu-

MY EARLY LOVE.

II was an ardent boysh love,
That faded out as life grew older,
My heart few 10 her like dove,
And lighted on her beauleous shoulder.
Or slipped the honey Of her lips,
Orin her eyes found heavenly grscss,
loved her 10 her fiuger tips
loved hef very footprint lracas -
Her features wore rap,aruus charm,
Her smile made alI within me hurer,
A rounded beauty was her arm,
Her little hand was fat as butter.
No wonder that loved her so,
But she was false as she was pretty,
And soon she sacked her little beau,
Aud took big one from The city.

BY CHAs. DICKENS.

One by one the sands are flowing,
One by one the moments fall;
Some are coming, some are going,
Do not strive to grasp them all.
One by one thy duties wait thee,
Let thy whole strength go 10 each;
Let no future dreams elate thee,
Learn thou first what these can teach,
One by one (brlght gifts from heaven)
Joys are sent thee here below;
Take them readily when given,
Ready too 10 let them go.
One by one thy griefs shall meet thee,
Do not fear an armed band;
One will fade as others greet thee,
Shadows passing through the land.
Do not look at Iife's loEg sor:ow;
See how small each moments pain,
God will help thee for tomorrow,
Every day begin again:
Every hour that fleets so slowly
Has its task 10 do or bear;
Luminous the crown, and holy,
If you set each gem with care.
Do not linger with regretting,
Or for passing hours despond,
Nor, the daily Toll forgetting,
Look too eagerly beyond.
Hours are golden links, Gods token,
Reaching heaven; but one by one,
Take them, lest the chain be broken,
Ere thy pilgrimage be done.

have been justified in tearing down the fence
of the defendant on that account. The ques.
tion will then present itself 10 you for deter
minauop. Was that place passable or was
il mott You will rememb er that j, lie NOT ev-
cry impsdiment in :oad-svery gutter which
an nnskilful driver cannot avoid-that will
give him the right 10 enter on the adjoi ming
land. There must be an actual necessity for
the safety of travellers, before the right 10
enter an enclosure attaches. If this necessity
existed at that place, from the character Of
the public ihoroughfare, then Mr.. Walton
had the right TO tear down The fence and
make passage for himself, on The land of
Mr.. Fox. If no necessity existed, he had
no right on the ground of the defen dant.
Admitting, however, ,ae;aMr. Walton had
no right 10 enter the cIoseof The defendant,
a question has been raised, whether Mr..
Fox did not use more force Than was necss-
sary.to fepel him ? This, aso, is question
for you. The law on this point is-a man
may justify an assault and battery 10 defence
of bis lands or goods. Unless the. trespass
is accompanied with violence, the owner Of
the land will not be justified ln assaulting the
trespasser in the first place, but should re-
quest him TO depart. and if he refuses,
should gently lay hands on him, and, if he
resist, force may be used 10 expel him. II
will be for the Jury TO ssy-olher circum-
stances not interfering whether the tearing
down ofs,he fence was or was not such an
act of violence as would Justify The force
used by The defendant. ...

Coon DocTRINE.-HaYe you enemies? Go
straight in and mind them not. If they block
up your path, walk around them, regardless
OF their spite. A man who has no enemies
is seldom good for anything-he is made Of
that kind of material which is so easily
worked tha, every one has hand IN it. A
sterling eharacter--one who thinks for him
self and speaks what he thinks, is always
sure 10 have enemies. They are as neces-
sary to him as fresh air; they keep him alive
and active. A celebrated character, who
was surrounded by enemies used 10 remark,
"They are sparks, which, if you do not blow,
they will go out of themselves" Let this
be your feeling while endeayoring 10 live
down The scandal of those who are bitter

room of that which i displaces. ltalso in-
creasss the eyaporaiion,of of moisture from the
eanh, and thus conveys away considerable
heat. This Increased evaporation, and the
mixture of warm and cold air, usually pro-
duce condensation of vapors in the atmos.

ihe consequent detention OF the heat brought

bodies with which il comes in contact, q

of cold and moisture. Much worse conse.
