Young Grimes.
BY B. p. SHELLABER.

Old Grimes is dead-that good old man.
We ne er shall see him more;
But he has left a son who bears
The name that old Grimes bore.
lie wears a coat Of latest cut,
His hat is new and ray;
lie cannot bear to view distress,
80 turns from it away
His pants are gaiters-titting snug
O'cr patent leather shoes;
His hair is by "A barber curled-
lie smokes cigars and chews.
A chain of massive 60 d is borne
Above his fashy vest;
His clothes are better every day
Than were old Grimes best.
In Fashions court he constant walks,
Where he delight doth shed
His hands are white and very soft,
But softer is his head.
He's six feet tall-no post moro straight
Ills teeth are pearly white;
In habits he is sometimes loose,
And sometimes very tight.
His manner is Of sweetest grace,
Ills voice Of sottest tune;
His diamond pins the very one
That old Grimes used to own.
His dyed moustachc adorns his face,
His neck scarf Of blue;
lie sometimes goes to church for chance,
And sleeps in Grimes pew.
He sports the fastest cab in town,
Is always quick to bet;
lie never EDoyS who : DrnCi2ont
But thinks "Old Tips in yet. T."
He has drunk wines of every kind,
: And liquors cold and hot;
Young Grimes, in short, is just the sort
OF man-old Grimes was not.

STGNs.-To lose a pocket-book containing
greenbacks, is unlucky. If woman cuts her
nail; every, Monday, 1t is lucky-tor her hus-
band. When cat prepares to wash its face,
1t is a sign that one in the house will shortly
receive good licking. you are in house
and hear a baby cry, it is sign OF marriage, or
II It isn't, 1t ought to be. If u red-haired man
falls IN love with girl who dislikeS hair of that
color. he will be likely to dye before he gets
married; liza one-eycd bulldog flies at stock

Oh MoRTALITY.-O Paterson, whom
Scott saw reviving the inscriptions on the tombs
of the Coyenanters, went to America. and be-
came the grandfather of Paterson whose
widow married the Marquis Wellesley. The
sisters OF that Mrs. Paterson married the Duke
of Leeds and Lord Stafford. The direct blood
Of Old Mortality went in another as rcmarka-
Bile a direction His grand daughter, Miss
Paterson, was the first wife of jerome Bona

great grandson of Old Mortality, is now on the
staff Of his cousin, the Emperor of the French.

tering the business!
1t is very often the case that as paper pu-
rifles itself its circulation decreases, and when
it becomes positively religious it is very apt to
become bankrupt, useless some benevolent and
Christian men come up to sustain it by contri-
buttons OF money and means. Not more than
three or four religious papers in this country
are self-suppOrting. The reason Is, the country
cannot stand so much rctigtOH! Reduced to
great poverty of circulation, many of our reli-
glOuS papers are very meagre affairs not able
to employ able contributors, with their scissors
they clip nearly all their articles from other
periodicals. AS a necessary resort to save
themselves they often step aside from religious
news and advertise handsome cloths and pat
ent medicines, SO that the sheet protesting to
give us Sunday reading tells us of rare Oppor-
tunltles for bargains on Broadway or Market
street. Hear it, Christian men and philanthrO-
plSts Many papers that are most rapidly ill.,
creaslng to-day are unScrupulouS.

"digged into this wall of denominations, and

palling, and to-day put young men and wo-
men, Christian parents, and guardians, on the

pOlluting. Away with it, from parlor, shop,

rature that is pure, cheap, ana elegant, shove

before whom you must account for the tremen-
dOus influence you hold in this community, to
cOnSecrate yourselves to higher endeavor.-
You are the men to fight back this invasion of
correct literature. Lift up your right hand
and swear new allegiance to the cause Of phi
lanthropy and religion. And when at last,
standing on the plains Of Judgment you look
out upon the numbered throngS over whom
you have had such vast influence, may it then
be found that you were among the mightiest
energies that lifted men upon the exalted path
way that leads to the renown Of Heaven Bet
ter than to have sat in an editorial chair from
which with the finger of type you decided the
destlnles of empires but decided them wrong,
that you had been some dungeOned exile, who,
by light OF iron window CRATES on scraps of

hearth, spelled out the story of Him who ia

RITUAIISM.-As the people OF America are
at present much Interested in the discussions
about lttualism in the Episcopal Church, in
formation of what is transpiring in England on
the same subject is of interest A committee
OF aymcn, to whom the subject was recently
referred by an English conference, have report
ed in favor of inviting the leading members
both lay and clerical, of the Church of Eng
land, without distinction Of party, to join in a
deputatlOn to the Prime Minister for the pur-
pose OF urging upon the Government the ne
cesSlty OF legislation for amending the Rubric
which immediately precedes the Order for
Morning Prayer, and also amending the Church
Discipline act, 50 as to facilitate the restraining
OF innovations. They further recommend that
the Premier should be requested to advise her
Majesty to issue 4 commission which shall in
qulre into the propriety of amending the Ru-
brlc complained Of, and of rendering the en-
torcement of Church discipline in such matters
prompt and Inexpensive In the event of fnon-
success in this application, they recommend
recourse to Parliament and an address from
each House to the Crown. Prosecutions of
Rituali>tS are deprecated and lastly, the COM
mlttee cannot to earnestly and emphatically
impress upon the Conference the Importance
of regarding and dealing with this question in
such a manner as to carry with them, in their
proposed solution Of the present difficulty, the
largest possible number of members of the

ARTIFICIAL NESTS. s.-Artifcal birdsnests are
now made in Switzerland under the directions
Of the societies formed for the protection of in
sectivorous birds One of the members of a
society Of this description, who inhabits We
Wy, having observed that many species of that
kind selects for nests the holes they find in the
trunks of rotten trees and that they conse-
quently do not find it easy to settle in orchards
where all the trees are in good condition, be-
gan, twenty-five years ago, to set up rotten
trunks in his grounds; and since then he has
no need to trouble himself in the least about
clearing away caterpillars, that care being left
entirely to his winged guests, who perform their
duty admirably. His ncighbors, on the CON
trary, who have not had this foresight, have
had their orchards laid in waste by a host of
voracious insects. The Yvcrdun Society have
gone the length of placing artificial nests even
in public walks and communal forests, ON the
borders Of the lawn, etc. All those nests are
now inhabited by hedge sparrows redstars,
creepers, and tOmtits, all of which may be
found in Switzerland as high up as the per,
petual snOw-l line. The same practice has
found its way into Germany

" Not the least is their extensive system of
underground railways. 1t is perfectly won
dertul how they jerk the people about at the
rate OF about fifteen miles an hour, from one

which you emerge to the upper air, and hnd
yourself somewhere near where you want to

three-quarterS of an hour ago. These trans
run each way, being double. tracks, about
every ten minutes; and morning aud evening
they often consist of seven or eight cars, hold
ing thirty or forty people each. The cars are
lighted with gas-not the tunnels, except at
stations-so that you can read your papers

We have received files of Victoria papers TO June
II. They are mostly occupied, editorially, with
complaints of the ruined condition OF tie colony,
financially and commercially; the project Of c%onfel-
Grafton with the other British North American colo
mics; and the idea of annexation 10 the uniteI S'''es.
The Morning Wees, a recently estabG- :.
is a strong advocate of the latter scheme. 1t says
the allegiance of the Victorians should 80 where their
interest ies,-tha their government must be CEN
nectei with that of the people with whom they have
the most commerce-that they must have free trade
with their neighbours unless they would starve. 1t
advises that the colonists show respectfully, but in
plain, unmistakable language, by a monster petition
or 10y a plebiscife vote, what they want, and backed,
as the .Nttrs is sure they will be, by the United States
Government, they will get all they ask-the cession
of British Columbia 10 the United States.
Tho ColoaiSt, while admitting the necessity of a
change in the colonial government, which on all
hands is acknowledged to be miSmanaged. does not
favor annexation, but strongly advocates confedera-
ton with the other North American colonies.
To illustrate the rapid d~ecadence of British Column
bia, it is stated that in 1860, the population was
estimated at about 10000; it now amounts to not
one half that number. Victoria, At that time, could
boast of about 10000 inhabitants; it has now
dwindled down to about 1000. During the same
period, San Francisco has added 81, 1000 TO its popu-
lation, and the increase over the whole state is in a
corresponding ratio. The only reason, says the
.N5rs, for this wide difference in the relative pro
gress of the two countries is the fact that Sin the one
the people rule, while the other is governed by an Off
cial Oligarchy. who have no direct interest in the
country, further than 10 screw from the Taxpayers
the amounts of their respective salaries" Gov.
Seymour appears to be extremely unpopular, and
the papers handle his official acts without gloves.
The climate of Victoria must be bracing, at least.
On the nights of June Sth and 9th, there was consid-
cradle frost, and gardens suffered. The sidewalks
were white with it, until the sun was up.
