Words Of Worth.

IHAvE lived to know that the secret
Of happiness is never to allow your ell

A MAN has no more right to say an
uncivil thing than to act one; no more
right to say rude thing to another,
than to knock him down.
That which VIC acquire with the most
difficulty we retain the longest; and
those who have earned fortune are
usually more careful than those who
have inherited one.
HOWEVER m,lcl, VIC distrust the sin.

A MAN who gives his children habits
of industry provides for them better
than by giving them fortune.
A oELEBRrED writer says that, il one
could but read it, every human being
carries his life in his face, and is good
looking or the reverse, as that life has
been good or evil.
MEN often appear to lie when most
truthful, and often seem to tell the
truth when most false the most ter.
rible of lies is not that which is utter.

The man scarce lives who is not more
credulous than he ought tD be the ma
turai disposition of man inclines him
to believe; experience alone teaches
incredulity, and seldom teaches it suf

No MAN can, for any considerable

There's little girl that meets me,
And with laughter ever greete me,
And to kiss her oft entrcats me,
As stray
Long tho path Of life, SO drcary,
Where the satdcned heart, and weary,
Shades tho sunlight, shining near me,
On my way.
She has eyes as blue as Heaven,
Only aged about eleven:
But unto her God has given
Such q heart,
That forever she is singing.
And her sweet voice ever ringing,
Beauty DER the wrapt heart bringing,
Sweet as art.
With her sunny hair, 80 curly;
With her teeth, so white and pcarly,
have met her late and early
by the way:
And tako her hand, and press it
In my own. just to carcass it
u Pretty littlc hand-GOd bless 1t :"

May the world smile kindly on her.
Bcnediction fall upon her,
Angels be her guard of honor,
A. she goes
Through this world Of ours, singing,
Peace to troubled spirits bringing,
No grief her poor heart is wriuging
With its woes,
May the sweetest harp in Heaven
Brightest crown that Ger WAS given,
Where the waves Of life arc driven
Past the throne,
Echo to her dainty finger,
Pom her pure brow ever inger,
While each angel is singer,
Calling homo!

Death of Gen10n.

A correspondent of the London Tele-
graph gives an account of the shooting
of Genton, the Communist, who
commanded the firing party when Arch
bishop Darboy and the rest of the host
ages were SO foully murdered:
"The execution took place on the
plain at Satory, on the morning of April
30. On arriving at the place Genton
jumped out of the carriage with great
alacrity, being much quicker in his
movements than either the clergyman
or the gems d'arme, who accompanied
him. With firm step and erect bear
ing, he walked at once to the SPOT
where he was to stand for the last time
in this world. He took up his position
and looked around him with much of
that vanity which characteristics what
every Frenchman does in public. He
was small, insignifcant-l0oking man,
plainly dressed il On overcoat and dark
trousers. His countenance was by no
means bad, although at times it had
an expression which was not pleasant.
"When the greOier or registrar of
the court martial had read in a hurried
voice the sentence by which Genton
was condemned to death, non-com.
missioned officer approached him to
bandage his eyes. But he motioned
the man away, and said he would like
to give the word of command to fire.
OF this request no notice was taken,
but at a motion from the sword of the
sergeant major commanding the firing
party, the latter stepped to within
about fifteen yards of the prisoner.
just ut this time-when the signal was
given for the men to level their rifles
Genton raised the cry of 'Vive Ia Com
mane,' throwing up his hat straight
into the air at the same time. Again
he uttered in louder voice the same
cry third time he attempted it, but
had only time to utter the first word
when the signal was given, rattling
discharge was heard, and Genton fell
in a confused heap, and all was over
his last words forming curious con
trast with the denial he had throughout
his trial given to anything like partici-
patton In the work that disgraced Paris
year ago."

Strange FOrgetfulness.

A short time ago little babe belong

Singular Costumes Of Scandinayi0ns...
Immigrants for America.

An Edinburgh paper says:
The peculiar dress and antiuuated
appearance of considerable number
of Scandinavian emigrants who landed
at Granton from the steamship Scotia,
attracted considerable attention from
all who witnessed their disembarka-
ton. The party consisted of lob adults
and q number of children, the major
ity being from the Northern interior
and more mountainous part of Norway.
The emigrants of both sexes were tall
and well-proportioned and healthy
looking, with features not unlike those
most familiar along the Northern sea-
coast of Scotland. The dress
of the women consists of skirts of
strong fabric, gathered into a band
placed round the body under the arm
pits, and suspended from the shoulders
by braces. Their arms and shoulders
are only protected from the weather by
a loose "body" of white calico. The
skirts reach only to the knee, and black
open work stockings, with low shoes
turned up and pointed at the toes, and
q head-dress consisting of little
shawl twisted into turban, complete

boots, trousers seated and kneed with
leather, and the waists continued up
to the armpits, jackets ornamented
with buttons in front, but so short that
they scarcely covered the shoulder
blades, and felt hats.
These emf grants are principally farm
ers. and their destinations are Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, and other parts of the
Lake District. Although their dress
and that of their families excited some
little astonishment, yet in many as
poets it is far more sensible aud gro
tesque than the costumes which might
have been seen this week by spectators
Of the company proceeding to Her
Majesty's drawing-room 1t Bucking-
ham Palace, and there can be little
doubt that the "peculiar dress and an

who sat shivering in their carriages on

gates were thrown open, would have
excited both the wonder and commits

made to ascertain the amount of loss
that coal rndergoes when exposed to

coal suffer least, but ordinary bitumin>

that coal should be kept dry and under
