POLITICAL.

Hon. John Covode last night gave a sort of an
idea of what the Democracy are doing with Asa's
money. He narrated the facts IN his own case of
contest where hundreds OF fraudulent naturalization
certificates were sent TO the green lrishmen of his
district from this city. The Democrats are holding
no meetings, and it is more than probable that they
are disposing OF the $4,000 forked over by Asa in
more telling way.

at the Psssaic river drawbridge, on the
Newark s. New York Railroad- On FRI
day afternoon, just previous to the time
for a passenger train 10 reach the bridge,
the draw was open. Mr.. Drecker knew
that the train was coming. He began 70
turn the bridge, 50 as TO close the draw
before its arrival ~ pfils eAr
At this moment he saw his little son,
who was only ten years old, and who was
not far from him, fall from the bridge into
the river below. He saw the train coming
swiftly toward the bridge, and knew that
to do his utmost there was barely time to
close the draw. In the water below him
his boy was struggling for life. A leap
into the stream at this moment, and he
could save his child. But the train CANE

his post for even single instant, hum

secret of success in attaining wealth. A
single perusal Of such an essay at an inn
pressible moment, has sometimes wonder
full effect on the disposition and character:
Fortune, they say, is fickle dame
of her freaks and caprices; who bllndly
distributes her favors without the slightest
discrimination. So inconstant, 50 waver-
ing is she represented, that her most hith-
full yotaries can place no reliance on her
promises. Disappointment, they tell us,
Is the let of those who make offerings at
her shrine. Now, all this is vile slander

"Our old friend tight-lacing has again
made his appearance. Beaten back for a
time, probably more by fashion than the
spread of knowledge, he has not been
killed, but has only recoiled apparently
for better spring, for his victims are as
numerous and pitiable as ever. The folly
is one which was formerly mainly to be
found in the drawing-rooni, but now it also
fills our streets. 1t is lamentable to OBJ
serve at every turn a woman, young or
old, who moves forward in STOPPING posi-
ton, unable even to hold herself upright
in consequence of the constraint upon the
muscles of the back. If the evils of tight
lacing were confined to the distorted APP
pearance which itnerer fails to produce,
we might regret, indeed, to see the female
form divine so defSced, butit would scarce
" be in our province to comment upon it.
But, as medical practitioners, we see its
effects every day in a train Of nervous and
dyspeptic symptoms by which it is, con-
siantly indicated, and in the still more
grave and internal mischief of permanent
character which is often caused by it.
Until some little physiological knowledge
is made part Of female, education, and is
considered an accomplishment, we sup
pose it is of little use to protest against the
cruel injury to health which women thus
inflict upon themselves. The matteris one
that is worse than crime-it is folly for
beauty is destroyed by the process which
is intended to increase 1t. iH''i

One day the Duke of Buccleutb, q
Scotch nobleman, bought q COW IN the
neigborhood of Dalkeith, where he lived.
The COW was to be sent home the next
morning. Early in the morning the Duke
was taking a walk in very common dress.
As he went along, he saw boy trying In
vain to drive a COW to his residence. The
COW was very unruly, and the poor boy
could not get on with her at all The boy,
not knowing the Duke, bawled out to him
in a broad Scotch accent:
"Aie, nun, come here, an gle ham wi

and was buried at Lucerne. / studiously

dial RECEPTION from Mr.. Mollett, Yhp now,
released from all pecuhiary need by the
wealth inherited by his widowed daughter,
hid given up his old vocation, and was
living in style very different from that
of former days He drew but one conclu-
sion, of course, from my temperance on
the scene. His selfish instincts evidently
shrank from the idea of parting with his
daughter again, not so much from the fear
of losing her companionship, as from the
possibility that through her making a
second marriage, he would no longer be
able to keep up his present easy and luxu-
rtous mode of life. -.HU a.gE-5

disinterested affection. When, however,
he was finally convinced that my own
means were ample, and that his worldly
position would not be interfered with, by
realizing, at last, the dearest wish of my
heart, he placed no obstacle in my way,
and need hardly say, that when due time
had elapsed, Bertha had nothing to urge
against my suit.
