TADpoLEs AND ToADs.-Americans can get up
higher and down lower than any people. They
can appear great and be little can boast of a
gloriousy republican country, and yet kneel
and fatter and act the complete monkey in
presence of European royalty. We see that the
Americans in Paris sent the French Emperor a
congratulatory address on his escape from as
sassination. They did this as American citizens.
If they are Americans, what's the French En-
perors life to them? They tell the Frenchman
that they are indignant at the dastardly attempt
80 shed innocent blood. They couldn't remem-
Der that the fellow whose heels they were lick
ing, suppressed liberty in France, and that in
stealing the Republic of 1913, he caused the
blood of patriots to be SIZED aifalong the streets
of Paris. Such americans are American tadpoles
and toads, not American citizens.-Sierra citizen.

PREPARATION FOR DEATH.-When you lie down
at night compose your spirits as if you were
not to wake till the heavens be no more And
when you wake in the morning, consider the
new day as your last, and act accordingly. Sure
y that night cometh of which you shall never
see the morning, of that day of which YOU shall
never see the night; but which Of. your morn
ings and nights you know not. Let the mantle
of worldly enjoyment hang loose about you, that
1t may be safely dropped when death comes to
carry you into another world. When the fruit
IS ripe it falls off the tree easily. So when a
Christians heart is truly weaned from the world,
he is prepared for death. death disengaged
from the world is heavenly one, and then we
are ready for heaven when our heart is there be-
fore u.s.

VALENTINES were sold in the United
States last year, says Harpers Weekly over
three millions of valentines, ranging in prices
from three cents to thirty dollars. Of this, one
would think that the great bulk should be COM
ic but the manufacturers assert that the race is
equally divided between comics and sentiment
tails; the actual sale being about one and half
millions of each kind, and the sentimental val
entines out-valuing the others very largely. The
manufacturers lead the taste of the public in
the way of noveltes but it is curious to know
that certain parts of the country demand their
wares at certain prices. In the Northern and
New England States, it is stated, the demand is
chiefly for valentines ranging in price from three
cents to three dollars. In the South and West
the favorites sell at from % cents to $50. In
the large cities, few are sold each year at pri-
ces ranging from $50 to $50 each. The valen-
tines which sell from 81 upwards are mostly
inclosed in fancy boxes, which are imported
from Paris for the purpose.

"HELP."-American ladies may console them
selves that they are not alone in the world in
their troubles about sheIp' in their families. a;
letter from the world-renowned city of Florence,
in Italy, says,-"the exhaustless topic Of help
occupies just now to great extent the attention
of the Florentine ladies' The servants here ars
chiefly Italians from the einterior towns, and they
are denounced as shftless, lazy, and constantly
hurting their fingers, and they being conse-
quenty sick-a-bed for a month. In short they
are declared to be 'as bad as Irish The Grand
Duchess of Tuscany has even in her stately
Petit Palace taken interest in the question. In
her publicly expressed opinions it is all owing
to ertroragdnce in dress. 'You actually says the
Grand Duchess in virtuous Indignation, Cannot
tell by her dress, the servant from the trades
mans wife, or the tradesman's wife, from the
higher classes from the very arstocracy of the
Court 7 "
Is not that shcking r. I seriously demand
whether that state of things is not positively
shocking?
