Things Like aud Don't Hikes!

ike-Wc all have our peculiar likes
and dislikea, my DEAR do not think
rne presumptuous in expressing mine.
like to see myself figuring pComipeat cor
respondent in some live newspaper, but l
dislike to be known as the mother OF this
bit of local scandal, and that melancholy
occurrence that never happened, or the
author of every long spun essay upon
moral depravity, political dishonesty or
popular theme generally inviting the
ready pen OF plagiaristio originality
l love nay neighbor-I like all animated
creation-if they allow my hberality but
the extraordinary characteristics Of many
dampen my ardor / never pretend 10
know much, capdor tells me I don't, so
that I like every body who thinks he
knows more than I do. for ambition is a
bigger virtue than humility. Gentilisy
is very nice, but it is 50 burdensomo to
be fashionably SO, that I think many who
practice it ought to die young, for martyr
dom to u set principle ia the heyday Of
existence is more efecting and prajss-
worthy than to die Of old age. Yes, my
dear, like natural people, any body 10 p
instance who never dwells upon set
fashion, ceremony or word-any one VINO
had just as lief cat pie with their fingers
as q fork, go to church or shopping, visit
ing or ceiling" with your old gown and
"shaker" without p suushade or gloves ii
your hands are clean), without paDg of
remorse lore anyone who will open his
or her mouth and talk and laugh aud sing
without consulting the latest treatise Gu
etiqutte and talking, walking, loving,
eating, drinking and sleeping "by rule"
We are, really, my dear, al Lords and
Ladies, of animated creation. You will
remark, all but the highest order Of ami.
NAL matter closely observe thc natural or
der of things. The rcoter crows, the
donkey brays just es freely and melodi-
ously before the king as they do in their
native elements,-nature my dear, must
assert its Notwithstanding is infullible.
There's Mr.. Suber-he was in the army
can't forget the tactics, walk, martial
bearing, etc. He has forgotten how to
run however-not necessary in times OF
peace-at home Miss Mince,-very fragile
--corpulence SO ungenteel nerves 80 weak
Miss Mince is the object Of Mr.. Saber's
adoration,- gentility insipidity aud
fashionable rigidity make a very Unnatural
compound my dear, don't take il If you
die
Yes, don't like adult imitation OF the
Goddess of INTERPRETATION. Let the
child dress its doll, and squeeze the saw
dust bag into any shape, bat don't teach
the child that she is made of the same
material and therefore amenable to the
same process. Let the child use its natural
faculties in its growth as it will in its
play, and by and by society will lose a
portion of its starch" and we common
grumblers will find many more likes and
fewer disIikes with which TO torture the
ears of suffering humanity.

No Peace in Europe.

The important news, which was pup
,;sbsd in the HERALD of yesterday, tha'
the peace negotiations, which have oeen
in progress between Tours, Paris and YER
sailles for several days past, and WHICH,
if our dispatches are to be oeho'oo'
even went so far as to be finally cohS ""'
mated in an agreement for an afmiStice
for twenty-five days, which was agreed TO
and signed by Mr.. Theirs In behalf OF the
Provisional Government OF France, and
hv Rismarok on the part of Prussia, have
bsen summarily and finally broken off
Thu rupture has come from Paris. M
Theirs. who was at Versailles Saturday,
engaged in the work of arranging terms
Of peace, or of cessation of hostilities,
received an imperative order from the
Provisional Government at Paris COM
manding him to break off the negotiations
and to leave the Prussian headquarters
forthw with.
The cause of the rejection of the pro-
posed terms is said to be owing entirely
to the persistence of Count Bismarck in
requiring the cession of Alsace and Lor-
raine. There is now nothing left for
France but to continue the struggle to
the bitter end. The siege of Paris will
be pressed, on the part of Prussia, with
the utmost vigor, and it is more than
probable that the resistance will partake
of that determined character which des-
peration always inspires.
1t was exceedingly doubtful, after all
whether an armistice would have led to a
final peace, or whether the Constituent
Assembly could have, within the time, Or
gained a responsible and acceptable gov
eminent that would have agreed to the
German terms. There are now but two
alternatives left Either the Germans will
have to retire from before Paris, which is
not very likely, or they will enter and oc-
oupy that city and there impose upon the
French people a government, as the allies
aid in 1914. That is what is most likely
to take place, and perhaps it ia the short
est road 10 pc ce.

SHREwsBURY.-The Universalist Cen
tenary Meeting, held here yesterday was
a perfect success. The Inauguration and
objects If the Murray Fund were ably
presented Ky the Financial Agent, Rev.
James Eastwood, and after some remarks
by Rev. George S. Guernsey, was nobly
responded to by raising the su,n of $75,
exceeding the society's quota, including
what had been previously paid, some SIS
or more. Well and nobly has Shrewsbury
responded to the calls of Liberal Chris
tiaDity. She gave last spring $52 to the
Green Mountain Institute at Barre, and
now more than exceeds her apportionment
in the Murray Centennial Fund.
