STUCK IN THE SNOW. - Wonders
never cease. The morning train from
Montreal on Saturday April 3rd got
stuck in the snow at st. Lambert and
there was no train between Montreal
and st. Johns on Saturday, and Sunday
two engines with a snow plow came
through to st. Johns without a train.
With no communication with Montreal
later than Friday night the train from
st. Johns due here on Saturday night
did not arrive until Sunday afternoon.
Engineer AL" Flanders who left St
Adams Saturday nigh, for st. Johns
got " stalled" in snow bank at Crane
Ligne and passed the night there. Sun
day m. rning engineer Dan. Kimbal
went from st. Adams to his relief will
snow pillow he hauled Flanders on
of the snow bank and proceeded to st
Johns. Dan returned with his snow
pillow from st. Johns in the afternoon
bringing with him one car load of pas
sengers from st. Johns. We think thi
is a remarkable record for the 4th day O
April.

CURE FOR Low SPIRIrs.-Constant gazing upon
ones self is the cause of nine-tenths of the low
spirits which sour the lives of so mahy other
wise good people. Unless one has lost friend,
or has failed in business, is sick, in love, it
is wicked to have the blues, and even then in
the last three cases it is the most foolish thing
to do. Keep your eyes open for the good things
of the world, and your minds will have less
room for the bad. When you find good thing
seize upon it. Gloat over it as much gained.
'Tis we'll to be enthusiastic over good things. 1t
makes the mind more elastic. 1t is q good sign
when q man is filled with admiration for any
thing. The tendency is to elevate him. keen
sense of the ludicrous is an excellent tonic. We

when life, the most varied and thrilling, is ali
about US. Let not young man dare to have
the blues. For man on the downhill side of
life to become respondent under the pressure of
repeated disappointment, is one thing, and for
young man to 60 moping and boding over some
evil-fancied or even real lis quite another. It
is s:Christian duty to fight the blues, a. you

HAPPY HoxEs.-How few are those blessed

preciate the trials and sufferings of the home
less wanderer on earth's barren and cherries
highway He who has no home, who enjoys
not the fragrance of the hearts summer flowers
of the hearth, who is alone, without wife, or
home, is indeed a stranger in a strange land !;
and yet how many wanderers roam about over
the earth, seeking, but never finding, that rest
and sweet peace for which the soul cries aloud
in its sadness Paine, the author of that beau
tiful song, "Home, Sweet Home,' was one
SUCH No homes happy door opened its well

pined for its rest, and its love and its care. He
was homeless wanderer in the world, and ul-
timately died in a strange land, unknown and
uncared for ; but his soul still cries aloud for
home, sweet home" and thousands of hearts
feel the yearning, and answer his sad spirit, by
intuitive responses, wherever his sweet song is
sung.

Too Many Beaux.

If by the term prospects, as applied to a
young lady, you mean the probability of her get
ting husband, than she whose admirers may be
called Legion, has infinitely poorer prospects
tnan one whose friends of the opposite sex may
De counted on the fingers of single hand.
Now, 1t is true that everybody patronizes the
mode and fashion that everybody else supports,
TOR 1t is the easiest and most natural thing in the
world to "follow the crowd But this is not
to say that young man wants for wife the
girl VINO counts her beaux by the score and her
| conquests by the dozen. 1t is true that every
chicken IN brood will leave good dinner, and
60 IN pursuit of the same object if they see one
OF their number run away with q large-sized
crumb, or after an imaginary worm. But it is not
true that the young man will forsake the modest,
gentle girl, whose society he can enjoy without
rivalry, to compete with score of others for the
company of a young lady whose smiles are free
to all.
| There is, indeed, class of men who pay as
| sduous court to the latter. She generally pos
| sesses many attractions-this pet of society.
Possibly she sings. Invariably she dances.
She is always surrounded by the gayest of the
gay; and in consequence of these advantages,
whether she is pretty or plain, her drawing
room is very agreeable place in which to spend
an evening; or as young gentlemen are won't
to say, " 1t is extremely pleasant to submit one
self occasionally to be handsomely entertained ;
that am looking in that direction for a wife !;
by no means"
Thus these gallants are wont to speak. And,
as rule they are not marrying men. But when
one of them would take to himself a wife, he
goes east, west, north or south anywhere to 6nd
girl unspoiled by society-the one who has not
in his presence played the agreeable to score
of others, and whom be strongly suspects any
one of them could have had for the asking.
The worst thing for girl-unless she. wants
to live and die an old maids to have too many
beanx. She may be pretty, stylish, accom-
pished and graceful-anything you please, it
matters little. The very fact that she has been
the recipient of attention from more men then
she would need to know in the course of life
time, places her on the level of worn-out boot
desirable only to those who cannot get better.
If girls would take the advice of their own sex
as graciously as they take the attentions of the
other, some, at least, would cut loose few of
their worthless acquaintances, and, in the fu-
ture, guard themselves against the addresses of
too many beaux.

I Am Lonely.

I am lonely, thinking only
OF the times that long have fed;
Thinking Of my joyful childhood,
Thinking how the years have sped,
Thinking Of my boyish pleasures,
As l wandered In the grove,
Playing In the pearly streamlet-
All! those are the thoughts love.
on I've sat, my head reclining
Meath the oak trees pleasant shade,
Dreaming Of q future brighter
Than the future has been made;
Gathering how'rets from the meadow,
Stripping biossOms from each bough;
Those were times Of admiration,
Turn'd to tears and Troubles now.
All! yet now tear Is steaifnk
Down my cheek yet flush with life,
Must thus acknowledge weaknessi
Yea, Of aught averse to etrife;
All! / bid these tears to leave mo
There is hope Of future bliss
For, thank God, there is another,
Better, brighter world than this.

CRAwLED UP.-Once upon a time gentleman
found in his hen roost simple-uinded soul of
the vicinity, who lived without visible means of
support.
What are you doing here, you rascal Steal
ing my chickens?'
"No sir" was the response, "I thought of
duin' nuthn' of the sort.'
1t unfortunately happened that the simple
minded individual wore high straw hat, of
dimensions of a bee hive, and the crown thereof
was dilapidated to serious extent. Just as be
had put in his denial, the head of half grown
pulet was seen to protrude from the aperature.
See there" said the gentleman, "how did
that chicken get in your hat?'
"Well," exclaimed the simple-minded indi-
vidual, with an air of honest surprise and en-
barrassment, that is the strangest thing that
ever happened to me. Isuppose the darned crit.

A Glimpse.

Twas but glimpse through the veil Of night,
A glimpse, and nothing more;
Yet 1t filled my soul with strange delight
1t ne'er had known before,
And still, Eethinks, / see it beam
The beautiful face saw in my dream.
Oh. face so fond! OH face so fair!
Sweet face that smiled on me;

And so know caught the CLEAN

MINING UNDER THE SEA.-The miners life car
hardly be cheerful one, exposed as be is to the
many dangers of explosions, to fre-damp, Of
crumbling walls, of falls down fearful shafts and
the general unhealthfulness of working where
the purifying sunbeams ever excluded. But
mining under the sea must have peculiar trials
and terrors. There is a vast copper mine in
England where shafts extend many hundred
yards under the sea. The moaning of the waves
as they dash against the rock is forever sound
ing in those gloomy aisles. When the storms
come, the sound of the waters becomes so terf-
6c, that even the boldest miners cannot stay be-
low, but leave their work and come out upon
the firm upper earth. Over head are masses of
bright copper, streaming through the gallery in
all directions, traversed by network of thin
red veins of iron, and over all the salt water
drips, drps, down from tiny crevices in the rock.
Immense wealth of metal is contained in these
roofs, but no miner dares give it another stroke
with his pick-axe. Already there has been one
days work too much upon it, as huge wedge
of wood driven into the rock bears witness. The
wedge is all that keeps back the sea from burst
ing in npon them. Yet there are three tiers of
galleries where men work day by day, not know
ing but at some fatal hour the food may be
upon them, rendering all escape as hopeless as
it was in the days of Noah. The awe-stricken
visitor hurries away from the scene, with heart
appalled, in view of the hourly dangers. Who
could win money at such risk, with the sulen
roar of ocean forever sounding its warning in his
ears?

The NEGRO SourH.-The negro has a good We
tality, and is not dying out as fast as has been
thought. The Saturnalia of freedom, in whicn
thousands perished, being over, the negro oirtn-
rate is somewhere in the vcinage OF the ngn,es
it reached in the old slave times, though not ~
any means equal to it. The industrial eosal.
ton of the black is what might be expected o'
the child-mau he saves nothing and spends an:
Gingerbread, jmcrackers and jewelry are things
impossible to resist. The general rule Is 70 pay

furnished by the employer. Drunkenness is not
a current vice among the blacks; theft is.
Tbey will steal the nails out Of the heel of your
boot. Their moral condition is lower than in
slavery, there being now no check on illicit con-
nection. Religiously there is likewise deca-
dence upon the whole In some parts of the
country, as on the coast of the CaSolinas, in the
cane-brake region of Alabama, and in the back
counties of Mississippi and parishes of Louisiana.

PUDDINGs AND PIEs.-Americans as a rule,
prefer pies to puddings; Englishmen don't, and
this is one reason why dyspepsia is less preva-
lent in England than in America. If pies were
abolished from the national bill of fare the ma
tional stomach would be easier and "the most
enlightened people under the sum- would sleep
better O. nights and be less troubled with that
''all gone sensation" in the region of the duode.
which SO many patent medicines make
promise to cure-their promises, like pie crust,
being made only to be broken. 1t would be diff
fcult for the ingenuity of woman to concoct out
of wholesome materials anything more thor
oughly indigestible than an American pie. Even
light pastry does not yield readily to the solvent
power of the gastric juice, but the sodden stuff
which forms the sides and flooring of the cuin.
ary structure in question, resist the chemical
action Of that animal acid almost as obstinately
as so much leather. If we must have pies, why
not have them made on Mother Bulls plan with
merely top-dressng of pastry and no under
crust or side-crust? A vigorous stomach may
dispose without much difficulty of the wafery
lid of pie, but not without a sharp struggle Of
the thick, mosture-logged pati.serie underneath.
Yet tens of thousands of us lunch on this sort of
pabulum every day, and most of us-such is the
force of evil habit-would consider dinner fail
ure if it were lacking. Away with the dyspep-
tic dainty parent of fatuleucy, heartburn,
headache and nightmare Let it be expunged
from the carte, and pudding, a real nourisher at
life's feast, installed in its stead.
