INTERFERENCE.

Children como in for IN enormous
share of interference, which is not di-
rcction, nor discipline, but simple in
tcrfcrcncc for its sake. There arc
mothers who mcddle with every cx-
preston of individuality in their
young people quite irrespective of
moral tendency, or whether the occa-
sion is trivial or important. In the
fancies, the pleasures, the minor de-
tails Of dress in their children, there
is always that intruding maternal fin
ger, upsetting tho arrangements of
the poor little pic as vigorously as if
thrones and affairs depended on the
result. Not game Of croquct can
be begun, not blue ribbon worn in
stead Of pink one, without material
interference; SO that the bloom is
rubbed Of every enjoyment, and life
becomes reduced to q kind Of goose
step, with mamma for the drill scr
gcant, prescribing the inches to be
marked.
Sisters, too, do a great deal Of this
kind Of thing among themselves; as
all those who are intimate where there
are large families Of unmarried girls
must have seen. The nudgcs, the
warning looks, tho deprecating
"Amy's": and "IIush Rose.s!" by
which some seem to act as household
police over the others are patent to
all who use their senses. In some
houses the younger sisters seem to
have been born chiefly as training
grounds for the elders, whcreupon
they may exercise their power Of in
reference; and a hard time they
have OF it. If Emma goes to hel
embroidery, Ellen tells her she ought
TO practice her singing; if Jane is
reading, Mary commcnds sewing as G
more profitable use Of precious time
If Amy is at her easel, Ada wants t.
turn her rounds to the piano. 1t il
quite the exception where four Of
five leave each other free TO do o.
each likes, and do not take to drilling
and interference as part Of the dali,

In the fading sunset light,
Watching the darkness creep over the sky,
Out of the Eastern night;
We Zee tie stars come trembling out
In the tract of the fallen eun,
And We feel that quiet within and without,
That comes when the day is done.
Whet have We been doing all day, all day,
Since the rosy morning smicdi

But much fear these little hands
Have put me to shame to day:
For God, who is earnest. understands

That might have frightened the day;
Of duties dreamed Of, but never begun,
Scattered along my way;
You lie with peace in your violet eyes
You have not learned regret
For the sorrowful eurs that make us wise
Have not come to my baby yet.
And still, as I sit in this twilight hour,
At the close of weary day,
Even sor ow and sin do not quite have powe
To keep blessing away
A blessing that falls ike the dew from heave
On the parched and thirsty ground;
And in loving much, because much forgiyaI
Ny deeper peace il found.
Your life, my hhby, is just begun,
And mine is growing old;
But We rs children both in the eyes Of One
Whose years are ill untold:
BE helds us both in His loving hand,
He rardons all our sin,
And by and-by, to the same sweet land
He will gently let us in.

SMOKING MASNEHs.-IheR Round Ta-
tle joins its voice with telling force against
some OF tho indecencies Of modern society.
In late issue it reads a lecture TO smokers
in The following manner:
The street is not private smoking-room.
One man has no moro right to void his to-
bacco smoke iuto the face Of another man
than he has to void his saliva. If he has,
why, in the name of sensel Because tue
smoke is less disagreeable Tha: Is q mat.
ter for individual preference and, besides, a
man has no right to do the least disagreea-
bic thing. Why may not man appear on
Broadway with stick strapped horizontally
across his back, or an open package of as
saf@tida in bis pocket, Or polecat in his
arms, or Lis clothes dripping with kerosene
oil, with as much right as lie may smoke
therei Because it is not customary to
carry asa:@!ida in the pocket, nobody
thinks about it; if it only were the custom,
We should hear c fearful cry from the to.
bacco.smokers themselves. If a man
treads upon anothsr's foot he apologies
but he will carslessly void offensive smoke
into his very throat, and never think that
he does anything reprehsnsible. If man
dislikss smoking, he can keep out of the
street. But the right Of the tobacco hater
in-tbe stree, is en,1al IN that of tho toboooo.
lover; to refrain from smoking in public
places is not granting a concession, but not
to refrain is violating right. Upon &C
tual right, without reference to tue sanction
of custom, man would be perfectly justi-
fable in resepting tue smoking of the to-
bacco near him as personal afftons.

PEcULIARITIEs OF Low LIFE IN Lon.
DoN.-We published lately an account of
strange scene in London life. Every Sun.
day morning, it seems, about ten o'clock
a crowd OF. men and boys take possession
Of tho four streets within few minutes
walk Of tho Great Eastern Railway station
at Shoreditch. They belong to the rough.
est class, and they bring with them for
sale the most nondescript collection. of ar
ticles. Birds are the most numerous, and
from them the scene is called the Shore
ditch Bird Fair. Birds of all kinds are Il,
be found-siDging birds, common Eugl>l,
birds, rare foreign birds, manufactured
birds with real bodies and false heads, or
dyed birds, made beautiful for ever, by
Shoreditch Rachels. But the bird duff.
fers are only the centre Of the Fair. We
read of dogs, mice, anatomical ponies,
broken down pcrambulators, old keys,
locks, and hardware, AMI even fiddles and
concertinas. This crowd too like an army

and ginger beer, low betting men, and
even street preacher, whose quality may
be imagined from his title Of "BIack Jem-
mic the Cutler" Beer and spirits cannot
be openly sold, for it is Sunday, and the
hour Of Divine Service and the public
houses and beer-shops are shut.
But the restriction is easily evaded. Holes
are cut in partition walls, through which
the drink is passed to the neighnoring hohs-
es Where two streets are parallel it is
easy to admit customers into the backyard
through an opposite house-and, in fact,
the police have found parties of men sit
ting in the yards of public. houses with
barrels of beer by their side. The buying
and selling at the Fair is, of course, con
Quoted with the usual noise, and we are
sorry to add, amid the grossest and loud
est obscenily and blasphenv. And all
this as we have said, on Sunday morning
between ten and one o'clock and under
the very shadow oftwo churches, which are
SO near that the shouts and curses of the
Fair interrupt the worship of tho congre-
cations, and the sound Of the church or
gans is heard amid the indecencies of the
crowd.
