A Good Word for Bridget,

My dear Madam might agree with you entirely, that servant girls are a nuisance; that they have followers, that they spend their money for show, and that they gad about the streets just as often as they can steal away that they will have forbidden shindies in your kitchen, and filch your tea and sugar by the pound. You cannot possibly pre- vail upon them to tidy up their own room {; they inevitably stay out till mid night, when you positively limit them to ten o'clock you. may be sure of i'm pudence unlimited to your very face, and gossip in abundance behind your back and truth is as foreign to their tongues as tatters or tawdiness is essen- tial to their dress. And then, when, as you truly say, you have given them a home for years and years, and treated them as kindly as you know how, of they go at three days notice, make fools of themselves by getting married, and take in washing-and yourself. And, in short, to quote your admirable sum- ming up, you really cannot trust them out of sight. But, my dear madam, but who is to blame ? If Amanda, up stairs, with pale, spirituelle face, and delicate, do-nothing hands, is to spend all her time and educated brilliancy in catching 8 husband, and spending for him her annual ten thousand, why is downstairs Bridget, with ruddy, health ful face, and stalwart working arms, to be debarred from joining her honest heart and helpful hands to some piece of masculinity more useful, after all, than many an Amadeus of the parlor Ii Dulcinea and Floribel and Lillian are to do thus and so in their way, why not Mary and Ann and Margaret in theirs ? Your astonished eyes open very wide. "Why, they're only servants !'
 Yes, dear madam, only servants-only human beings. For we have heard it faintly hinted-don't whisper it to Mrs
 Grundy, it wasn't from her-that servant girls are actually constituted much as we are ourselves. "You have given them home ?" Has it ever been such 8 home as, poor though you might be, you would for a moment think of for yourself? "You have treated them as kindly as you know how ?" Don't you know much better way for '' better " people Kindness and comfortable home cost little pains and less money have you spent either ? An, madam, if conscience makes towards of all, how you ought to quake before that '' only a servant" responsibility of yours ?

The Advantage of Hair Dye.

A clergyman in Massachusetts, who has seen his three score and ten, was complimented on his hale and youthful locks the other day Smiling, he touched his handsome brown hair and replied, "You know they have way of helping old men little these days" "What" said his friend, "have you been coloring your hair ?" "Yes," replied he; "I have been doing what I once thought nothing would induce mo to do. I have been turning my grey hair brown, and will tell you how I was brought to it. After leaving my position at -, I pro- posed to go back into the ministry. and become parish minister. Accordingly as had an opportunity, preached to some few destitute churches, and was grati6ed to hear at the conclusion of the services, that the people were well pleased with my teaching, and but for my grey hair would be glad to have me for their minister; but they could not think of so old a man. Well, while was going through this experience, an old friend suggested that should color my hair, and thus remove from the eyes of the people the reproach of being an old man. And I consented, finally, to make this experiment.. And what do you think ? The very first time that I preached with brown hair upon my head I was greeted with a call to settle in the ministry, and I have ever since been the happy pastor of united and apparently happy people, So much for the color of ones hair-so much in proof that there is something in looks after all. not withstanding the old proverb that looks are nothing and behavior is all.

Elephant and Bull Fight.

A combat took place at Madrid, in Spain, between the celebrated elephant Pizarro and wild bull. The excitement among the populace of the Spanish capi- tai, for days previous to the fight, was tremendous. The price of seats in the amphitheatre rose to fabulous figure, and the ticket-offlce was besieged by 8 crowd of buyers, in which the nobility and the commonality, the rich and the poor, hustled each other regardless of rank or the want of it, and only intent upon securing place whence to witness the strange spectacle.
 When at length the eventful day ar rived, the amphitheatre was packed to it's utmost capacity. There was some | by-play of the usual bull-fighting order :; but the spectators had come for sport of different kind, and soon grew clamor- ous for the elephant. The barrier gates were at length thrown wide open, and the immense form of Pizarro was seen slowly advancing into the ring. To his hind-legs was attached massive chain, the other end of which was immediately secured by means of @ ring to a post which had been firmly planted in the centre of the amphitheatre. This pre- caution was necessary because Pizarro was subject to violent fits of anger, dur- ing which he was liable to do great deal of mischief.
 To the intense disgust of the audience, the combat was very tame. The bull was apparently awed by the immense size of his opponent :; and Pizarro cared so little for his antagonist that he oceu- pied himself with picking up oranges and cakes thrown to him from the boxes. At length, irritated by darts and fire crackers, the bull made desperate charge but, being thrown back on his launches by the violence of the shock, he could not be induced to renew the fight. After standing still a few minutes, as if to recover from his astonisament, he slunk, thoroughly intimidated, into a corner, from which neither fireworks nor the irritating red mantel could make him stir. A second bull succeeded in inficting slight wound on Pizarro's s trunk, but, like his predecessor, soon gave up in despair.
 The singular combat was renewed the next day, with just as tame results. The bulls were apparently perplexed to know what to make of a monster from whose huge head they rebounded as if they had charged against solid wall. After one or two attempts they would retire, and nothing could drive them to make an other charge. As for the elephant, he took things in very cool and philosoph- ical manner, and ate his oranges and drank his wine, which was freely sent him from the boxes, with the dignity beftting monster of his importance and prowess. But as no man was killed, and as none of the brute antagonists received serious wound, the gentle audience came to the conclusion that a bull and elephant fight was very tame and uninteresting affair. Something better was expected of Pizarro, who is known to be vicious-tempered beast. In one of his fits of fury he once made a raid through the streets of Saragossa, in the course of which one of his tusks were broken. At Madrid he seemed to look upon his antagonists as worthy only of passive contempt.

A Serious Matter.

Fashionable follies are usually destruc- tive to those only who indulge in them j; but revelations recently made in Lon don show how the health of the poor may sometimes be made the price of the luxuries of the rich. Ladies have taken to wearing in their hats little tufts of artificial grass, sprinkled with glass beads to initiate dewdrops. In the man. ufacture of this kind of adornment 8 virulent poison called Schelle's green, is employed, which. is compound of ar senic and copper. The color is applied by women and children, who earn only pittance by the work, and who by in haling the fumes of the poison become dangerously sick, and even die. A re- porter of one of the London daily pa- pers has been inquiring into the matter, and as the result of his inquiries, pub hshed the following paragraph
 It is simple work and soon learn but great deal of it must be done to earn any money; and thus plenty of the dusted arsenic is imbibed by these vic- visited family engaged in the prepara- tion of this grass of death. Little, pinched, white faces, dull eyes circled with red, infamed lids, 8 perpetual ca tarrh, and constant wheeze in the throat, marked every member of the group. These painful symptoms excite little notice, but always occur when ! a large order for grass is obtained by such household. What is more serious in the experience of these scatterers of deadly dewdrops on deathful herbage is when the ea1s bleed. It ain't good sign; many in our line gets it, said the mother of the family. But the coughs the worst. The cough from these sham pastures had killed beautiful little gal last year She went on steadily be, dewing the devils grass as she told her story, and the little girl beside her who had the bleeding ears stopped them by 8 piece of wadding from her brother Joe's cap, and went on too. Sneezing and hopping their running ears in the midst of the arsenic dust, the family could make twelve shillings week out of the business. They had to work early and late though, and work all hands, bleed ing or not bleeding, coughing or not coughing, to earn as much as th1s."
 When asked why she exposed herself and her children thus to certain death the mother answered: "The on'y trade we should find if we cut this would bt Staryin' ,

At first it seemed like the stick of rocket coming down with the speed of light then it was doubled up like ball, then seemed to unfold, and whirling about with a gyratory motion, with hands and legs spread out. It seemed an age while the man was falling, for before he loesened his grasp the balloon must have been at least mile from the earth-and what an age to that poor wife who watched her husband rushing towards her and death with the speed of light. When about half mile from the ground his body ceased its gyratory motion, assumed perpendicular posi- tion and came down head first It struck the earth some distance from us, and then rebounded, falling again within a few feet of where it struck Then, from paralyzing fear, the crowd broke forth into shrieks of terror, women ran wildly about screaming and actually tearing their hair, and & rush was made for the spot where the man had struck the ground. There was an indentation not less that eight or ten inches deep, and fill ed with blood and brains which had burst from the skull then, like a cannon ball let drop from an immense height, it crushed into the earth. The dead man was then taken up and carried to the Albert House where the poor wife, who had often safely traversed the air with her husband, cared for it.
 The excitement in the town was of the most fearful and intense description, as may readily be believed. Those who had come out for pleasure returned home in sorrow, and the town wore the aspect of place which had been visited by some fearful calamity in which its own interests had suffered. There was no more of the fair that day, and the rememberance of the dreadful occurrence will long be story told by the inhabi- tants when those who witnessed it shall long since have died.
