ThR EDIToR:-The man that is cx-
peotcd to know everything, tell all the
knows and guess at the rest; to make
known his own character, establish the
reputation Of his neighbor, and elect all
candidates to office, to blow up every
body, and reform the world; to live for
the benefit of others, and the epitaph on
his tombstone, "'Herc he lies at last;'
in short, he is locomotive running on

his tender is his scissors) his driving
wheel is public opinion; whenever he ex-
plodes, it is caused by the non. payment

Useful Proverbs,

He ths. cheateth in postage stamps
is like him that cheateth the printer,
they shall both go down into the pit.
Scest thou woman who spreadeth
herself in the cars, she shall not be en-

girdeth up her garments
A man who maketh no punishment Of
his business, his gains shall be as though
he dippeth up brook with cup; but
to him that advertiseth, his riches shall
come as an overfowing tide.
BY reason of much chewing cometh n
multitude of splitting, and the splitting
man is like him that freth atlrandom I,

oasion to be out AMONG sick patients
that night, that he could not see his

many northern lights: they covered the
whole horizon over; they would flash
like tightening. and fll the air With The
smell of sulphur. TIE lights were SO
rcd that the flashes would bring warmth
against the face.
Tie great snow fall was in Dccew ter.
1879, or january. 1880. 1t showed
seven days; the snow was estimated to
be four feet on the level, and the drifta
from eight to ten feet high. The snow
came oist aal coarse, and it was so
cold that It cong eaiel very harl. The
people travelled over stone walls with
their .oams. 1t is said to be fact
that for thirty days the snow did not
melt from the caves on the sunny side
The banks were go high that sheep were
buried in them, and there remained fox
forty days, until they were found by
their air holes, and dug out alive.
This year the whole Of the Earragan-
