with an enthusiastic gleam in his eye.
"Ah! what was It, my darling?"
and the fathers hands ran through his
ofispring's curls. tsFfI
"Why, thrashed Jack Edwards till

Papa looked unhappy, while he ex-
Taained that the precept did not imply q
case like that, and concluded, mildly,
with: You should not have dene that,

"Then he'd have thrashed NO." re-
torted Bill.
Better expostulated his sire, "to
have fed from the wrath to come"
YES" urged Bill; by way of final
clincher, but Jack can run twice as
fast as cam"
The good man sighed, went to his
study, took up pen, and endeavored
to compose himself and sermon re-
conciling practice and precept.

THE PASSION FOR DISPLAY.

The world is all crazy, decidedly so. The
call is for show--and still show. There is
not one person in a thousand who dares fall
back on nothing but his real simple self for
power to get through the world, aud extract
enjoyment as he goes along. There is too
much living in the eyes of other people.
There is no end to the aping, the mimicry, the
false airs, and the superficial arts. And until
people take new view of things entirely, and
resolve to turn a very short corner in order
to live obediently to such view, the world
will go on as it has been going on for long
time, and all of US will continue to chase
bubbles only to see them burst, mere water
drops in our hands. 1t requires rare courage,
we will admit, to live up to ones enlightened
convictions in these times. Unless you con-
sent to join in the general cheat, you are
hooted and jostled out of reach. There is no
room for you among the great mob of pre-
tenders.
If a man should dare to live within his
means, and is resolute in his purpose not to
appear more than he really is, let him be ap-
plauded. There is something fresh in such
an example. 1t deserves to be set down a;
one of the oddities and curiosities of the age
The few who devote themselves to such hn'
resolutions can, we fear, be counted upon th'
fingers. But still they are the little leaven
the huge lump. The mass will yet be stirred
by the truth and simplicity of their examples
When they shall have succeeded in restoring
the old times again, then we may begin t
talk about the construction of society up9l
a new basis, but not much before.--Gleasoni

GREAT BRITAIN AND THE UNITED
STATES The London Times of October
IA has the following
In order to guard against any misun-
derstsndng we are requested to restate
that the proposal OF Earl Russell to the
American Government was conveyed in
the following words:
"Her Majesty's Government are ready
to consent to the appointment of com
mission, to which shall be referred all the
claims arising during the late civil war;
which the two Powers shall agree to re-
fer to the commissioners"
These concluding words limit the sub
ect of reference, since it would be incon'
sistent with the position taken up by bel
Maiesty's Government, and with the
arguments which induced it to decline
arbitration, to permit the claims for losses
by the Alabama and other vessels of the
same character to be brought before The
commission for decision. 1t must be IN
derstood, therefore, that il any such
commission was agreed on, these cases
would be excluded from its jurisdic
tion.

1.-THE children of Jefferson Davis have

Chambly, and about to enter Lennoxville
college. The young girl. 9 years of age,
is pupil at the convent of the Sacred
Heart, Sault au Recollets. Last Sab
bath several Southern refugees went to
see her. They brought with them the
Federal General Cochrane, whom they
introduced to the girl telling her that be
was a friend to the Southern cause, al
though circumstances constrained him to
fight 10 the ranks of its enemies. The
child looking to the General answered
L shall believe that you are one OF the
friends of our cause when you shall have
obtained the release of my father The
eneral was deeply moved with this an
swer and promised the child to use al
bis influence on behalf of Mr.. Jefferson
Davis. Gen. Cocbrane, who. l believe
cupies an official position in the United
States, visited yesterday the magniicen
establishment Of the Hotel Dieu. Ht
was SO highly pleased with his visit. tha

An amusing little episode recently Oc-
Cured in a railroad car in Eng land.
Shortly after the train had left the depot
an old lady jumped up and addressed q
gentleman seated beside her, with "Hou
dare you' What are you a!!'' The as,
astonished gentleman replied that be had
done nothing. The lady again seated
herself, but in q few moments arose, full
Of rage and terror, and declared heI
ueiehbor was ga william" and, on ar
irving at the next station, was about Il
have him arrested, when. luckily. tn,
cause of her agitation was discovered-ir
the shape Of a goose, which. placed in q
basket under the seat occupied BY thu
lady, had during the voyage, amused it
self by pecking at her "understsndings.'
The discovery Of the criminal creates
great laughter among the psssepgsrs.

Nor QUITE READY FOR IT.-From the
Knoxville Whig. we learn that anal ga
nation is not very popular in that city.
A negro preacher recently married Mar
tin Shower, a white man from Ohio. to
Jane Lewis, colored Immediately after
the nuptials were performed, and before
the happy bridegroom had time to "tsste
the sweets of his wife's lips" the Chef
of Police entered the room, and found
Mr.. Shower, who represented as a very
fair skinned man, Of fine appearance, sit
ting by his fair bride, who is as black as
the ace of spades. Without much cere,
mony, he took Mr.. s. by the throat and
chastised him severely with small bck-
ory cane, and ordered him to leave town
Immediately. Shower left. The most
amusing part of the whole affair is.
that the Africans Of Knoxville are them
selves very indignant at Showers pre-
sumption.
