4. .BaSr The Spirit of the Times has a foul
story that we are scarcely willing to credit
"A farmer out West was greatly annoy
ed By the scratching of bis chickens in his
garden, and concluded to experiment lit
tie with them. he procured the services of
a Shanghai rooster, and the result of the
cross was a brood Of chickens with each
one long and one short leg. When they
stood on the long leg and undertook to
scratch with the other, they couldn't touch
the bottom; on reversing the order of
things, as iigging with the long leg while
the short one supported the body, the first
stroke would result in a grand series of
somersaults. The consequence was, that
the hens soon became 'aweary of that fun,
and left the garden, aud the farmers good
wife reioiced greatly thereat.n As

Wire vs., LADY.--It is certainly not in
good taste for gentleman to speak of his
wife as his "lady," or to register their
names upon the book of hotol as g John
Smith and Dady,r or to ask friend +" How
is your lady p This is all fashionable vul-
garity, and invariably betrays a lack of
cultivation. The. term pifs is far more
beautiful and appropriate and refined, what
ever may be said TO the contrary. Sup
pose lady were to say, instead of "my
husband" my gentleman, or suppose we
were to speak OF Mrs. Fitz Maurice and
her gentleman. The thinp would be alb
soIutsly ludricrous, and its diverse is more
tbs, less so, ifrightly considered. A mans
wife is his wife, and not his lady and we
marvel the latter term is not absolutely
tabooed in such a connection, at least by
intelligent aud educated people. 1t ought
TO be left for the exclusive use of the cod
fish aristocracy. = Providence Post.

The Timely Gift

81 have often noticed, said pious
lady, Show God moves our thoughts
towards those who need our help. One
day l got thinking about a poor WON.
an in our street. and l resolved to 90
and see her as soon as / could finish
what was then doing. But before |
could get ready, gentleman called, a
member of our church, and without a
word from NE, handed me three dol
lars, saying, Mrs. B., perhaps
you know some one who wants this, and
haven't the faculty of going amongst
the poor,as you have ! was so thank
full | could not help telling him how I
had felt all day. AS soon as he left.
went to the poor woman's house.
She was sick, had spent all her money,
and was really suffering for want Of
proper nourishment. When had told
her what | had brought, she could not
believe 1t, it was too much. She made
me bring the candle, and let her look
at 1t again and again, and then she
turned it over and lookdd at it. as if it
were really impossible that So much
ON"ANA W ICI OWL FROM JndC nOur she
began to get better. The pressure of
Immediate want was removed from her
mind she slept well that night, and
having now suitable food for her en-
feebled conditions continued to improve
until her health was fully restored RI
do believe" continued the lady, Chat
poor people often die because they
have no hope. They see no way of pro-
Vlding for their wants, and there is no
thing to arouse their energies"
We have needt to have been poor our
selves, in order to know the value to
the poor of a single dollar. How much
is thrown away in the homes of the
wealthy, which would, by many poor
mother, be made into warm garments
tor her children. 1t is not because the
1ch are not willing to give, but because /
they do not know where to give. and
now to set about it. They do not 90
and see for themselves; and thus lose
much OF the pleasures of giving, and
the opportunity of turning to account
much that is wasting around them
Sunday School Times.
