Popping the Question.

The greatest professors who can face
the battery of thousand eyes directed
to them on the rostrim are frequently
the most diffident of men when taken
from their regular sphere of labor. There
was professor Aytoun, who was too timid
to ask papa for his wife, When Jane
Emily Wilson suggested to him that be-
fore she could give her absolute consent
it would be necessary that he should OBJ
tain her fathers approval: "You must
speak for me-" said the suitor, for |
could not summon courage to speak to
the Professor on this subject" " Papa
is in the library said the lady. "Then
you had better 60 to him." said the suitor
Ct and III wait till you return" The lady
proceeded to the library, and, taking her
father affectionately by the hand, mention.
ed that professor Aytoun had asked her
in marriage. She added Shall accept
his offer, papa; he is so diffident that he
wont speak to you about it himself?''
" Then we must deal tenderly with his
feelings" said the hearty old Christopher
North. "Tll write my reply on a sliE
Of paper, and pin it to your back
Papa's answer is on the back of my
dress, said Miss Jane, as he entered the
drawing room. Turning around, tho

The Nature ofnn Onth.

Early in the rebellion when the Fed
G., there was an old darkey by the name
of Lige Jackson, who, deserted by his
master, was left to take care of himself
as best he might Lige was considered
chattel of weak intellect, and moreover,
he was exceedingly awkward in his at
tempts to play the role of house ser
want. He smashed and destroyed pretty
nearly everything he laid his hands up
on. and having waited upon nearly every
oflicer at the post, each in turn, after Civ
ing him the benefit of some hard Ian
guage for his stupidity, turned him adrilt
1t happened that Lige was a witness
in case that came before court mar
tial, aud being called up to give his testi-
mony, was objected to on the part of the
de endant, who stated that he didn't be-
leve the niger was of sound mind.
Stand up, Lige," said the court
DO you understand the nature of an
cath Z"
Lige scratched his wool for moment,
and then turning up the whites Of his
eyes replied;
Look a yeare, marse' dis niger has
waited on bout haf de ossfers since dey
fus cum to dis place, and if he don't un-
dcrstand de nature of an oaf by dis time.

The court considered Lige competent
witness.

Wooden Railroads.

The Canadians are building aud have
nearly or quite completed wooden rail
road between Sorel aud Arthabaska.
The track is of the same gauge as that
in general use on the Michigan railroads;
the rails are of rock maple, and trains of
cars drawn by ordinary locomotives have
been run over them at the rate of twenty
FIVE miles an hour The road will cost
but 5000 mile, including right of way,
construction, rolling stock, station houses,
shops and bridges-one bridge over a
wide river being excepted and the stock
holders pay in bonds instead of cash.
The directors expect torun on the wooden
rails until they make money enough to
iron them, when. if the sanguine expec-
tations are fulfilled, they will have O
regular metal.railed road which will not
have cost them cent. After this it il
to be presumed that there will be no more
said about the want Of enterprise among
our Provincial neiA Ahbors.

A SlnguIar Ipllan Tradltlon.

Among the Seminole Indians there is
is singular tradition regarding the white
mans origin and superiority They say
that when the Great Spirit made the
earth he also made three men, All the
men had fair complexions; and that
after making them he led them to the
margin Of small lake, and babe them
leap in and wash. One obeyed, and
came out purer and fairer than before /;
the second hesitated moment, during
which the water, agitated by the first
had become muddied, and when he bath,
ed he came out copper colored the third
did not leap till the water had become
black with mud and he came out black
with its own color The great spirit laid
before them three packages, and out of
pity for his misfortune in color, gave the
black man the first choice. He took
hold Of each package, and having felt
the weight, chose the heaviest The cop
per -colured man chose the next heaviest
leaving the white man the lightest.
When the packages were opened, the first
was found to contain spades, hoes, and
implements of labor, the second enwrapped
hunting, fishing, and warlike apparatus
the third gave the white man pens, ink,
and paper, the engines of the mind-the
means Of mutual mental Improvement,
the social link of humanity, the founda-
tion Of the white mans superiority.

Taxing Them.

The Roman Censor frequently imposed
taxes on unmarried men, and men of full
age were obliged by law to marry, unless
mentally or physically disqualified The
Spartan women at certain games, laid
hold Of all the old bachelors they could
get their hands on, and inflicted on them
every mark of nfamy and disgrace, drag
ging them around their altars and hand
ling them very roughly In 1896, the
English parliament laid tax on bachel-
ors over 20 years Of aye. Of Gl2 los, for
a duke. which was graduated down to Is.
for II common man. Uncle Sam has been
very lenient to his unmarried newphews
at all times, but he might do good thing
for the heavy war debt by laying a reve-
nue. ad copitum tax on them just now.
