Cost of Literary Productions.

We read with captious severity, OF
the merest Indifference, the book or
article which has been written under
coalitions of moral or physical tor
ture, such as would not simply dis
arm criticism, If we knew of them,
but make us marvel that everything
was written at all. The author OF
"Tangled Talk" writes like the gay.
est OF serene and happy minds; and
yet this month he informs us, when
referring to q former article, "The
writer penned this bouyant passage
propped up in a sofa, with perspira-
ton in drops on his forehead, hyoscy
anus rapidly lowering his pulse. "
What picture! The buoyant sen.
tences jotted down in such condi'
ton, and perhaps not whit the
worse for the pain which accompan'
led their production-but he, the
writer, was the worse for them!-
Nor is the case a rare one; a fricnt
of ours, for more than two years, ht
has written almost daily, when tn,
state of his head, emphatically told
him he should do no work, had no
necessity spoken with still sterneI

TWENTY YEARS AGO.


.fys wandered TO the village, Tom,
I've sat beneath the tree
Upop the Sohoolhotise playground,
That sheltered you and ftfej
But none we're there to greet me, Tom,
For few were len you know,
That played with us upon tho green,
Just twenty years ago.
The grass was Just as green, Tom,
Barefooted boys at play,
Were sporting. iust as w6 did then,
with hspirits just ms gay.
But the nasfsr sleeps upon the hill,
Which, coated DER with snow,
Afforded US sliding place,
Some twenty years ago.
The old School. house Ia altered some;
The benches arc replaced,
BY new ones very like the same
Our tack-knives had dcfaccd,
But the same old bricks arU In the wall.
The bell swings to and fro,
Its r,usic's Just the same, dear Tom,
Twas twenty years ago.
Tho spring that bubbled meath the hill
Close by the spreading beech,
Is very low; twas once so high
That we could scarcely reach;
Aud knecling down to take drink,
Dear Tom, started so,
To think how very much I've changed
Since twenty years ago.
Near by that spring, upon an elm,
You know cut your name,
Your swcothcarts just beneath II, Tom,
And you did mine the same.
Some hnartless wretch has peelce the bark
Twas dying sure, but slow,
Just as that one whose name you cut
Died twenty years ago.
Ny lids have long been dry, Tom,
But tcars came In my eyes;
thought Of her loved 40 we'll,
Those early broken tics.
visited the old church.yard.
And took some flowers to ssrcw
Upon the graves Of those we loved
Some twenty years ago.
Some arc in the church.yard laid,
Some sleep beneath the sea-
But none are left of our old Class
Excepting you and me-
And when our time shall come, Tom,
And we are called to go,
/ hope they'll lay us where we played
Some twenty years ago

GiPity His FamiIy.r


A man falls into cmbnrrassments,
which ultimately overwhelm him in
bankruptcy, or drive him into roguery
and crime. He was yesterday respec.
ted, influential, aud supposed to be af.
fluent, and his family were treated, and
treated themselves, accordingly; but to
day he is disgraced and steered clear
Iof-without resources or prospects-very
likely in prison, and exposed TO igno.
minious punishment. "Vile wretch!"
say the million. "it is good enough for
him, but we must pity his poor lami'
lly."
Certainly, we must pity them--pity
all who sulIer--stil more all who sin
and suffer. They need pity, and there
I is no danger that we shall pity them
too much. But the impression convey
ed OF the innocence Of the fallen mans
family, and their unmerited exposure
to want and ignominy, is often very far
from the truth. ia fact, half the men
who are loathed as dragging down their
families to shame and destitu,on, are
really themselves dragged down by
those families-driven 10 bankruptcy f,
shame, and crime by the thoughtlsss
and basely selfish extravaganza OF wife
and children. Let man be in the way
OF receiving consiperable money, and
having property in his hands, and his
family can rarely be made TO comprc.

how a man who can get discounts in

customary fables, intended to scrmp
their drafts on his purse, or enhance
their sense OF his generosity.

The general result would not be ascertained Tor sev

bad swept the provinces.
The returns from Paris are conflicting: According
to most accounts the Government had elected seven
and the opposition three II their candidates. the latter
being NM Garnet Goudcbaux, and Cavagnac.

did not re- eeve an absolute majority, and new cleo
tor would take place in his district The total vote
Of Paris was about 600 for the Government and
$500 for the Opposition.
II was consde.ed certain that Cavagnac and Carnot

AFFAIRS IN FRANCE.

From Gatgnanfs Messenger June o.
The first days voting for the general elections OF
Paris passed over yesterday with the greatest
guilty. The improperly Of abstention has appeared
to be fully recognized as throughout the several cir
cumscfiptions the attendance was considerable. The
polling places were opened at s. but very few persons
presented themselves before the weather being any
hing but favorable and rain continuing to fall through
out the early part Of the day. la the more populous
districts, wokmen, who during the week had not had
time to procure their cards electors, Hooked to the
different mairies TO 60 through that formalty, and
thence went TO the sections indicated TO them In the
capital il may be calculated that more than bali OF the
electors inscribed have voted on the first day Inc
general impression appears 10 be that the Government
candidates will be all elected. The polling will be re-
sumed this morning at 8, and terminate definitely at
A in the afternoon.
The Moniteur says:
"The Plenipotentiaries of Austria, France Great
Britain, Prussia, Russia Sardinia aud Turkey, met
yesterday at the Ministry Of Foreign Affairs to proceed
to the signing Of the treaty which consecrates The fix
ing OF the IurcoR Russian frontiers in Bessarabia. III

the treaty between Russia and France already made
known by electric telegraph:
"The new treaty Of commerce and navigation,
which has been for some time under negotiation at ST.
Petersb burg, signed on the lih of this month by
the Count de Morny, French Plenipotontiary, and
Prince GOrtchakoff, Russian Pleniootentjary' This
treaty, which is destined to replace that OF 1876 and
the carrying out Of which will coincide with the appli-
cation Of tie liberal reforms inauguraed by the new
customs tariff Of Russia, contains for the advantage
Of French subjects, trade and navigation stipuations
which cannot fail to extend largely the exchanges
which are already made between the two countries.
OF this number are thoie which suppress the extra
duties heretofore imposed IN Rutsa arrivals from
Merseiles and other ports Of the Mediterranean aud
On goc put board French vessels in foreign ports
Another advantage, coDsecrated by the new treaty,
Consists in the privilege given to French subj ,cts to
acquire real property in Russia without losing their
quaiy OF foreigners and in being trea ed like Russians
