Power OF GENrLENEss. No bad man
is ever brought to repentance by angry
words, by bitter, scornful reproaches.
He fortifes himself against reproof, and
hurls back foul charges in the face Of
his accnser. Yet. guilty and hardened
as he seems, he has a heart in his
bosom, and may be melted to tears by ii
gentle voice. Whose, therefore, can
restrain his disposition to find fault, and
can bring himself down to fallen bro
ther, will soon fnd way to his better
feelings within. Pity and patience are
the two keys which unlock the human
heart. They who have been the most
successful laborera among the poor and
vicious, have been the most forbear-
ing.

nsa. The merits and dement's of
wooden pavements for streets were dis
cussed at the meeting of Council on
Saturday evening. Mr.. President
Wiley stated that he had made diligent
and careful inquiry into the matter,
and then read an interesting report OF
the street commissioner of Chicago,
showing that while in 1859 some 10000
square rods of wooden pavement were
laid, yet from year to year, as the pave
1nent became better known, the work
increased, until last year, when more
than 100000 square yds. were put down.
Mr.. Wiley also read statement of the
most prominent residents of Milwaukee,
who speak in the highest terms of the
advantages possessed in the wooden
pavement over any other in use in that
city.
Elizabeth daily monitor. [volume] (Elizabeth, N.J.) 1868-1880, 1869-02-23

Mr.. Cowell favored wooden pave
ments. In Chicago where it has been
carefully laid and thoroughly tested the
result is perfectly satisfactory. The
people there would now have no other
pavement. III this pavement only need
ed repairing every nine years, it GER
tainly answered the purpose intended
in an admirable manner. Besides it
would be SPLENDID for the velocipedists
of onr city Laughter

HEARING OF The BLIND. The blind
boys in school know the step of all
their school fellows with unerring Ger.
tainty. Thus, boy having missed his
friend at play, he watches for him as
the rank file past, walking round the
green sward, or marching in to dinner.
He hears the tramp of his friend amid
the din and the scnffip of the other boys
long ere he has reached him. and punces
upon him with the certainty a. though
he saw him. Indeed the blind speak of
seeing. If from the sound they know
that the master has left the room, they
say, 81 saw him go out" 1t is a cur
ious fact thas blind people never run
against each other Thus, when play
ing prisoners base--a game which leads
to some rough Jostling, even amongst
boys gifted with eye si2ht-these sight
less little fellows rarely come into col
lision with each other. Each boy,
when he enters the WORKSHOP in which
he if employed in basket making-a
room twenty feet wide by one hundred
and fifty feet in length, marches up to
his own seat and box, never by any
chance installing his place. If they
are in search of II friend, and happen to
call out his name in an empty room,
til y never stop for an answer, their
sense of hearing telling them that there
is no one IN it. Mr. Anderson, of
Edinburg, tells tale which well illus
trates this point. 81 had occasion" he
says "to send out blind man with q
mattress gave him bill with it,
that he might receive payment. But
to my surprise, he returned with the ac-
count and the mattress too. I've
brought back both, ye see sir said he.
How 80 Indeed, sir, [ didna like to
leave't yonder, else L am sure we wad
meier see the siller- there's nae q stick
of furniture within the doop How did
you come to know that q Oh saw, twa
taps on the door wi my stick soon tellt
me that ; and the mans estimate
proved to be correct.

FISH IN LENTEN sEAsoN--The effect pro-
dnced by Lent upon the market for
fish has not in past years been notice
able. No more has been sold thanat 9th
er seasons, but the increased sale of salt
and frozen herring, partaken of by the
Catholic working population, has been
considerable. The mark ct at present
is alb lndantly stocked with the leading
fish, such as cod, haddocl, and halibet,
and with over thirty other varieties OF
ocean products, found equally at other
seasons. They are now obtained in
greater quantities near Newfoundland
and Prince Edward Island and the
coast of Georgia than our own immedi-
ate latitude. The coasts of Long
Island and New Jersey afford very
unsatisfactory fishing at present.
Fresh water fish, as perch pickerel, &C.,
are more common in Winter than Sum
mer, being abundantly caught by net
and hook through holes in theice. The
salmon now in market fis sent here
frozen from Maine, and is sold at 60
cents pound. The consumption is
trifiing at present Times.
