Az ISrEREsnHG ITEM oN INDEBTEDNESS.
The national debt of the United King
dom Of Great Britain at the present time
amounts to about S00000,0 900 Pounds
Sterling, or allowing 81 ,S4 for the pound
to s3,872,000, 600. Assuming that our
Globe has existed for period of 5000
wears, as taught by number OF theoiog
lists, It's existence numbers 100000 days
or 81 $50, 600 hours. Dividing this total
Indebtedness Of Great Britain Of 50 ,872,
100000 by the number of hours our
globe has existed, the s'artti. fact viii be
arrived at, that from the dav ri he Crea
ton to the present time, Great Britain has
steadily increased her indebtness at the
rate of 1886 per hour during day and
night, rain or sunshine. No matter how
prosperous the country has been, the debt
has continued to grow larger, and at the
present time there is certainly no prospect
of any alteration for the better.

OBJECTIONS TO A LARGE SALARY
Ministers in our day rarely object to an
increase Of salary, but we find in an ex
change a capital story of an old Conecti
Gu. pastor, who declined it for very sub
stantisl reasons.
His country parish raised his salary
from three hundred to four hundred dol.
lars. The good man objected, for three
reasons.
First" said he, "you can't afford to
give more than three hundred.
Second, because my preaching isn't
worth more than that"
Third, because have to collect my
salary, which, heretofore, has been the
hardest part of my labors among you. II
I have to collect an additional hundred, ii

The Harvest in Ireland.

are rising; but it is probable that, when
the hurry of harvest IS over, and the mar

A HARD CAVE sro.Y.-It is reported
that cave has been discovered inAlachua
county, Florida, which is de-cibed as larg.
er than the Mammoth cave Of Kentucky
and as having ancient Latin Inscription on
the walls, which states that party ot
Danes had visited the cave in the year 1850
and that priest who accompanied them
had left the memorial of their visit. The
name of the priest was Marcus Poleus. 1t
was also stated these bold navigators had
embarked on voyage of exploration, and
had been driven far south also that they
visited many islands in a thicllly populated
country, where the people had received
them kinly, thinking them superoroeings
that several Of the number, together with
Greek artisans had been left there colony.
Is this a relic of the party that the Mexi-
cans say visitedthen 400 years before Cor.
tez landed, and taught them the art ofciv,

BOYS Our AT NIGHr.-The practice of
allowing boys to spend their evenings in
the street is one Of the most ruinous, dan
gerous and mischievous things possible
Nothing SO spec lily and surely marks
their course downwards. They acquire
under the cover of the night, an unhealthy
state ofmind, vulgar and profane language
obscene practices, criminal sentiments,
and lawIess and riotous bearing. Indeed,
it is in the street. after nightfall, that the
boys generally acquire the education and
capacity for becoming rowdy, dissolute,
criminal men. Parents do YOU believe
this! Will you keep your children at
home at nights, and see that their home
is made pleasant and profitable.

The Modern Belle.
BY j. O. SAKE,

The daughter sits IN the psTlor.
And rocks in her easy chair.
She's clad in her silks and her satins,
And jewels are in her hair;
She winks and giggles and simpers,
And Shippers ard giggles and ~inks;
And though she talks bat little,
IT'S vastly more than she thinks.
Her father goes clad IN his russet,
And ragged and seedy at thai;
His coats are sH ont al the elbow
He wears a shocking bad hat
Hes boarding and saving his shilings
So carefully day by day,
While she on her beau and her poodles
Is throwing it all away.
She lies abed in the morning
Till nearly an hour of noon
Then comes down swapping and snarlng
Because she vas called 80 scon;
Her hair is stiIl in the papers,
Hsr checks still dabblet, with paint
Hema;ns Of her last nights bushes,
Before she intended to faint.
She doats upon men uDshaven,
And men with the flowing hair y
She's eloquent over moustacbes,
They give such a foreign air;
She talks of Italian music.
And falls in love With the moon
And though but mouse should meet her,
She sinks away in swoon.
Her feet are so very little,
Her hands are 80 very white,
Hsrjewels so very heavy,
And her head so very light;
Her color is made of cosmetics,
Though this she will never own;
Her body's made mostly OF cotton,
Her heart is made wholly of stone.
She falls ia love with fellow
Who sweIls with foreign air
He marries her for her money,
She mIrries him for hi. hair;
One of the very best matches-
Both are well mated in life;
She's got fool for husband,
He's got fool for wife.

wanted to know what that had got to do with
his money. 0, nothing replied the broker, only
