A SoCKDoLAGER.-Ther is an anecdote
of the triumph of young Scotch loon
at the expense of minis ter's help mate.
Mrs. B., wife of the Rev. Mr.. b., was
somewhat older than her husband, and
was possessed of hasty ten. per. The
tea-kettle had been sent TO the tinman
for repair, and his apprentice hoy, IN re-
turning with it, intimated charge Of
fodrpence. The lady demonstrated al
the inreasonableness of the demand, and
insisted that a payment of twopence was
more than ample. The boy maintained
his claim, and load and angry alterca-
tion ensued. Disturbed by the noise,
Mr.. b. appeared from his study, and in
quired as to the cause Of the fray. The
youth hastened to explain:
81 has brocht the kettle, sir, and my
master says the price o the mendin' is
fourpence; but your mailer will not gle
me ony mair than tippence"
The youths happy mistake as to the
relation of the lady TO the minister was
overpowering Mrs. b. fairly disoomtit-
ed, retired to her chamber. Mr.. B. gave
the youth sixpence, and commended his
zeal on behalf of his employer.

iains from the last eensus that there are at

At tax Of one dollar a head, these dogs
would yield revenue Of six million dollars
or II half of them proved owncrless, and were
killed of, three millions would remain. But
the peeuniary benefit would not end here
The report of the Commissioner Of Agrlcul
ture p'rs down the loss to the country In sheer
killed at two million dollars, and nearly Q
million more in injured, This loss is equiv
alent to osix million pounds Of wool, Farmers
pronounce the loss -t,s dogs to be tive per cent

New PHASE or lT--The strong minded are

new campaiga for their rights" A cores
pondcnt OF Il New York paper met one of them
under rather bewidering circumstances tho
othcr night She had taken possession of his
berth in sleeping car on the railroad. lie re-
monstrated with her, but she merely replied
that she was not afraid 10 sleep In his room,
Of course she never asked II question about his
feelings ir the matter. Presently the gentle
man thoughs to irighten hia unwclcomc visitor.
Tie began to ilpsv Off his clothes. The strong.
min led, ons very naturally despised The artiiice,
She was mot afraid" of a man no matter in
what guise ne presented hmself The owner
OF tho stateroom laid himself down 10 sleep /;
the lovely woman did the same, having first
made herself ready" We confess that this Is
n truly alarming narrative. Womauis assert.
ing her rights at rate which promises to
make some of us extremely uncomfortable.
Where Is i, all to stop? The invader OF the
sleeping car we are told, "bears a name which
is perpetually appearing In the papers" She
only carries her precepIs into parctice, poor
thing But really Il is getting TO be very
cerious'business for1lie Inferior creature called

abolition Of the franking privilege; or, if that
can not bo effected, then large abatement OF
it, privileges lie will show how much gra.
tuitous and bulky matter is transported free
of charge, and the loss 10 the service which
its transportation entails, and many facts and
statistics in support of his recommendation.
Under the present laws the Post-olnco Depart
mcnt has TO transport without remuneration
the mails of all the departments here, which
is but little less onerous than the mails of Con-
gress. lie win also recommend the abolition
of the letter-hOx delivery system preierring
that all mail matter be delivered by carriers
or through the general delivery. lie is also
in favor of reducing the rates of charges on
registered letters, the present rate being so
high that but few persons have made use of
the privilege, and the revenue from this source
has, therefore, been injured. He will probably
recommend that the rate on registered letters
be reduced to six cents.

EVERY boy born into the world should
be put in the way of maintaining him
self IN honest independence. No educa-
tion which does not make this it's first
aim is worth anything at all. There are
but three ways of living as some one
has said: by working, by begging, or by
stealing. Those who do not work, dis
guise 1t in whatever pretty language we
please, are doing one of the Other two.
A poor mans child is brought here with
no will Of his own. We have no right
10 condemn him to he mendicant or a
rogue he may fairly demand, therefore,
to be put in tho way Of earning his bread
by labor. The practical necessities must
take precedence Of the intellectual. A
tree mRst be rooted in the soil before il
can bear flowers and fruit. A man must
learn to stand upright on his feet, to
respect himself, to be independent of
charity or accident 1t is on this basis
only that any superstrNeture OF iDielleet'
ual cultivation worth having can possibly
be built.-Frowde.
