When an Arab woman intends marrying
again after the death of her husband, she
goes the night before the ceremony to pay a
visit to his grave. There she kneels and
prays him not to be offended-not to be jeal-
Gus. If, however, she feels he will be of
Tended and jealous, the widow brings with
her donkey laden with two goats skins OF
water. The prayer ended, she proceeds to
pour the water on the grave, to keep her
first husband cool Under the circumstance a
bout to take place, and having we'll saturat-
ed him she departs.

DONiT STAY LATE TONIGHT.

The hearth of home is beaming
With rays of rosy light;
And lovely eyes are gleaminS,
As falls the shades of night;
and while the steps are leaving
The circle pure and bright,
A tender voice, half grieving,
Says, Don't stay late to night
This world in which thou movest
Is busy, brave and wide
The world of her thou lowest
f. on the ingle side
She waits for thy warm greeting,
Tky smile is her delight:
Her gentle voice ertrcating,
Says, "Don't stay late 10. night"
The world il cold, inhuman;
Will spurn thee in Thy FIJI
The love of one pure woman
Du tlasfs and shames them all.
Thy children will cling round thee,
Let fate be ark or bright
At home 10 shaft will wound thee.
Then Don't stay late tonight"

A SITUATION OPEN-Thc romance of the
runaway da.key was quite played out after
the people of the North and South had peck
ed their flints for the final shot Once in a
while, however, there comes "reminiscences
which shows Sambo's native humor, and
how irresistible was his hankering for the
boon of freedom Before the war there
came into the bari room of hotel in Canada,
near the frontier, a bright looking negro,
who was thus addressed by one of the emf
nent persons usually found in such resorts !:
Il s'pose you re a runaway slave" said
one, looking sharply at the new conner.
Feeling that he was pretty well away from
bondage, the darkev responded that he was
'Ah, indeed; WELL we re glad of 1t; but
you don't seem to look very poor-have good
clothes down South 2"
Certainly, said the darkey, with some
pride. Same clothes as my MASTER
But you got many good threshing, ,eh ?''
Never had whipping in my life.
Never thrashed ~ said another; ''well,
but you niggers don't always get enough to
eat do you p
always had enough, gemmcn. never
went hungry
''What y said the interrogator, good
clothes, no punishment, and plenty to cat.
Now, said he, turning to the group, ION,
ly think of it this fellew has left a posi-
ton where he enjoys all these privileges fol

WHAT CONSTITUTES A FIRST Glass
Work MAN.-lt seems to me that in the
desire to impart to the working classes
general course of study, much harm may be
done: for it must be kept in view that the
possession of ten fingers, coupled with large
store, it may be, of head knowledge, does
not necessarily give the power to any lad to
become an accomplished workman. To ex
eel in handicraft is gift possessed in diff
ferent persons, just like excellence in class
ical or scientific accomplishments and it is
at best, by an early apprenticeship to the
work and patient practice Of it, that most
persons, even though having what is call
ed mechanical turn, are enabled to ac
quire perfection and it would be exceed
ingly undesirable TO employ either the
heads or the time of apprentices in studies
which have not the direct effect of impro
veing their manipulation and management
of the materials with which they have to
deal. The recent advocates of improved
knowledge, have given to perfect manipula
tlon greatly too subordinate a place !; and in
the educational arrangement they propose,
they do not consider and provide for the
time and difficulty of acquiring those high
manipulative attainmepts which every
skilled workman should aim to possess Be
canse, after all, what i, it but manipula-
tive superiority that gives success to any
branch of manufacture, and what but la
borious practice, coupled with some a
mount of natural aptitude, will ever make
a first class workman
