The NEwsPAPERs.-A child begin.
ming to read becomes delighted with
newspapers because he reads names
which are very familiar, and he will
progress accordingly. A newspaper in
one year is worth quarters schooling
to a child and every father must con-
slider that substantial information is
connected with this advancement. The
mother of family being one of the
heads and having a moro immediate
charge of the children should herself
be instructed. A mind occupied be-
comes fortified against the ills of life,
aud is braeed for any emergency
Children amused by reading or study
are Of course considerate and more easily
governed. How many thoughtless
young men have spent their earnings in
a tavern or grog shop, who ought to
have been reading? How many parents
who never spent twenty dollars for
books for their families, would gladly
have given thousands to reclaim a son
or daughter who had igoorantly and
thoughtlessly fallen into temptation.

THE HusRAND.-Ladies sometimes
do not value their husbands as they

husband is the very roof tree of the

He is the bread-winncr of the family

and ending Of the golden chain of life

THE BRIDES FAREWELL.

On bended knees I've sought for power
To stem this grief alone.
And must this tie that fondly binds
Be severed now forever;
Aud mouldcr meath oblivion's shrine?

But distance now must hold each heart
In loves uuyiclding cham,
And hush with hope the tears which start,
And soothc the parting pain.

On whom look with pride,
And God will deign to smile upon
A fond and trusting Bride.
When far from dear and cherished ones,
I'll sit me oft alone;
Memory DER the past will run
And wait me back to home.
I'll think mo then Of hours gone by
OF childhoOd's sunny scenes;
How swift those golden years have fed
Like Summers sunlit beams.
My girlhood days-they, too, are o'erj
Each idle vision fed;
Still memory's richly laden store
Sweet recollections shed
A holy sunshine DER the past;
And hopeful dreams unfold
The happy influence that it cast
Around my wakening soul.
But 10 the parting hour is here,
| Icannot linger now,
I'll strive to hide each rising fear,
Aud soothc my throbbing brow.
But parting throws saddening spell,
And calls the glistening tear
As silently lisp farewell
To those hold so dear.
But hush my heart; cast out each though
That whispers of regret,
Though fate has called on us to part,
Fond hearts will not forget.
They will bear me in their evening praye
To mercy's glittering throne;
And guarded safe by angels care,
I'll dream me oft of home.

THE FRENCH DETECTIVE.

In the exercise of his profession, Eu.
gene Laromie had passed through some
wonderful adventures, aud been nearer
death than most men cared to be. His
success in ferrcting out and bringing
to light crimes of all kinds had won for
him the bitter enmity Of all offenders,
both political and criminal, in the city
They had repeatedly vowed vengeance
on him; for they declared that there
was no chance for them while he re.
mained in Paris. Laromie only laughed
at their threats, and kept his wits about
him. He declared his readiness to meet
them whenever they desired it, prosided,
only they gave him fair play.
This however was the last thing that
they intended doing. yhey had fired
at him frequently, without success in
their attemps at poison. They had
gotten up mock conspiracies, with the
hope of decCying him into their power
but he saw through them in an instant
and only laughed at them for their trou.

the hope of capturing him and it was
very certain thatif they could succeed in

tiful the detective had ever seen. As
she passed she looked at him with a
fixed gaze, and then smiled. Instant.
ly, Laromie lifted his hat and bowed
profoundly. When he raised his eyes
again, the lady had disappeared. He
was annoyed at this, for he was anxious
to learn more Of the beautiful stranger
and from the smile she had given him,
he knew that she was not ayerse Ia
such course on his part. Eugene
Laromie was a true Frenchman in his
love for gallantry; and this was the
only thing that ever brought him into
any real danger. Several times he had
narrowly escaped death at the hands Of
Jelous husbands; aud his friends were
