some people have Of finding FAULT
Praise anything, no matter what, and
they will always confront with a
but. 1t really seems to hurt them
when YOU take pleasure in admlring
anything, and they hasten to take
you down a peg. Sometimes they do
this because they think such course
argues an experience and observation
wider and more fastidious than Yours;
but more often it is ust Il petulant
habit springing from envy or jeaI-
onsv, for which the offender richly
deserves to have his nose pulled, as a
preventive to his turning it up IN
the future.

Little Jennie, little Jennie,
With golden trcsscs shining bright.
Pattcr, in with joyous prattle,
Tnrning da. kness into light.
Into mammals crms she capers,
While, with winning baby grace,
She lavishcs her soft carcsses,
Upon her loving mammals face.
Then on papa's knee she Chambers, ;
Chasing all the clouds away,
That have gathered DER his forehead,
Through the busy fbusting day.

She's the sunshine of our household,
More precious far than any pearl.

ATTENTION SUBSCRIBERS.

The attention Of our Subscribers is
called to thsir names printed on their
papers, and also the time to which each
subscriber has paid following the name.
Every subscriber can see on every number
OF his paper the time to which he has
made payment. Some VIII see that they
have paid in advance. Others will see
that they are in arrears. All in arrears are
requested to make payment without de-
lay. Those who are in arrears for two,
three, four or five years are reminded
that Justice does not sleep, and that the
Judgment Day will not be DELAYED for
ever. And we would suggest to them
that If they do not respond voluntarily
to the claims of Justsce they may fud
the Judgment Day nearer at hand than
they expect and more expensive than
will be agreeable to them Obedience
to the demands of Justice will be salts
factory to US and may be more agreeable
aud less expensive to them than farther
delay.
Papers delivered by the Carrier, and
sent singly in wrappers have not yet the
names of subscribers printed on them
nor the time to which the subscribers
have paid. Aside from that the forego-
ing remarks are applicable to these sub
scribers as well as to the others. They
know or may know the time to which
they have paid, and Justice has the same
claims on them and the Judgment Day
may be as near for them as for the other:
and may be no more agreeable or less
expensive.

PUNCHAYET.-Thc Hinloo system of
the Punchayet is thus described 1t is a
tribunal cas- old as the hills" which every
village in India employs with excellent
results. The word signifed "the council
of five" and it represents an ancient and
established court Of arbitration. When
ever dispute arises among the Indians,
the contending parties refer it to the
Punchayet. Each chooses two judges,
and the four thus constituted select a
fifth, who presides. The circumstances
of the case are then laid before the vii
village council and a judgment is pro
nounced, which is almost absolutely
equitable, and almost always cheerfully
accepted. He who appeals from the
Hunchayct defes the public opinion of
his community, and generally finds him
self in the wrong It is system which
has, for countless generations in India
prevented world of wretched and cost
ly litigation.

The Toledo Commercial very sensibly
says: GAS the season is again at hand
when fires are constantly necessary in
dwelling houses and public buildings, it
would perhaps not be out of place to sug.
gest the good old practice of burning out
chimneys, which if attended to, will un
doubtedly prevent many losses. It is
doubtless fact that many fires annually
reported as originating from incendiary
or unknown causes might be charged to
neglect of this kind"

In collecting clothing for the Chicago
sufferers in Pawtucket, few days since,
the children in one of the infant schools
were given recess to go hume and bring
whatever wearing apparel they had to
spare. One of the little girls went home
for her share, and as her mother had
stepped out,concluded to help herself,a and
accordingly packed up all the dresses etc,
OF which she was possessed save what she
had on, and with all the gravity possible,
presented them to the committee, who, of
course, packed them with the rest and
sent them away. When the little girls
mother came to look for change of
clothes for the child after school, the
discovery of what had been done took
place, anG the CONSERVATION in that
family can be better imagined than de-
scribed. The little miss said she had
been sent home to get her clothes, which
she had obeyed to the letter.

A divine in town not a thousand
miles from Amerst, recently preached a
-ermon on the Chicago fire, in which he
said that the name of the boy, who car
ried the kerosene lantern into the cow
stable, was written in Heaven, thousands
of year ago, as the appointed agent tor
the destruction of that great city; and
then advised farmers to profit by that
catastrophe and smash all their kerosene
lanterns The effect of his moral lessons
will not be improved by the publication
of he affidavlts of the owners of the
premises that there was no fire in their
stable on the fatal night, and that the
cow, by whose kicking propensities the
fire was said to be caused was MIXED
before dark a. a
