SATURDAY NIGHT.-Saturday
night makes people human, sets

them into drums, and Jared them

is Saturday night and we breathe
free again. Homeward. Ho! The
door that has been ajar all the
week closes behind rs; the world
is shut out. Shut it, rather. Here
arc our treasrres after all. and not
in the vault, and not 10 the book
save the old record in the old

Maybe you arc q bachelor, frosty
and forty. Then. poor fellow,
Saturday night is nothing to you,
just rs you arc nothing 10 nobody.
Get q wife, blue eyed or brown

Get a little homc-no matter how
little; q sofa Iust to hold two, or

Good Walks in Winter.

What comfOr! to hsvo a good dry
walk from the house to the street, asd
on tho sidewalk in font of the fence
no mud, nc dirty shoes or dresses, a
cause for disgust to the ladies. Yet, =
large portion Of the time, this is the
very thing most neglected by farmers
and village residents. When the wealth.
cr is clear, and walks hard, they arc con,
sidcrcd good enough, and then nhen
wet and muddy no one wants to work
in them; and so nothing is done. The
Germantown Telegraph is even more
severe than ourSelycs on this neglect,
and says spiciiy there are too many
farmers in all sections who arc in the
habit Of ncslccting matters and things
about the dwellings and ont buildings,
which may be called small comforts -
In many cases they arc overlooked, and
not considered Of sufficient importance
to deserve attention, at least, any special
attention. Among these there is moth
ing that adds more, not merely 10 the
health and convenience, but to the health
Of the family, than good walks about toe
house and premises. We have known
these in many instances to be utterly
neglected. Year after year the members
Of the family are left to wade through
mud to the COW stables, hog pens, wood
or coal shed, to the pump or spring
house, to the place Of drying the wash,
and SO on. Now, the little labor it would
cost to make hard dry paths to all these
points is not worth mentioning. Ii
about every place there arc stones, CID
morter, bricks, etc, which could be laid
down in an excavation 81 six inches, and
COVERED: with coal-ashcs. This would
iaS! !pr a dozcn years, and would always
be day it five minutes after 4 rain. Or,
in lieu of this, lay down bv3rl walks,
which, If taken up in the spring, after
the weather is SETTLED, and e@cfully
piled Up, will last from eight to ten
years. Try it. 1t will save in shoe
leather and doctor. bills lour times as
much rs the cost, leaving out Of the
question ;he great comfort enjoyed.

CHARAcrER.-We may judge a
mans character by what he loves
what pleases him. If person
manifcsts delight in low, sordid
objects: the vulgar song and de-
basing language, in tho misfor-
tunes Of his fellows or animals,
We may at once determine the
complexion Of his character. On
the contrary, if he loves purity,
truth, modcsty-if virtuous pur-
suits engage his heart and draw
out bis affcctions-we are satisfied
that he is an upright man. When
we see 4 young man fond Of fine
clothes and making fop Of him
self, it is sure sign that be thinks
the world consists Of outside show
and ostentation, and he is certain
to make an unstable man, without
true affection or friendship. fond
of change and excitement and
wearying Of those objects and pur-
suits, which, for time, give him
pleasure.

In 1864 the "Frecdmen's Savings
Bank" was established at Beau
fort, North Carolina, by tho Freed.
mems Bureau. About that time
the drafts came On, and very large
sums were offered in tho way of
State bcunties, or for substitutes.
Thousands upon thousands of
freedmen accepted the terms, and
as the bank had agents in most Of
the States, very large proportion
Of the money was secured ION de-
posit,' and sent North for safe
kcepins.' Of course very many
freedmen died in the army either
in battle or from dcbauchery,
and as none Of them had heirs, the

The Lisping Officer.

4 good story has been told Of a lisp.
! ing officer having been victimizcd by a
j brother officer who was noted for his
coo! deliberation and strong nerves, ard
! his getting square with him in the fol-
! lowing manner:
/ The cool joker, the captain, was al
ways quizzing the lisping officer for the
nervousness, and said to him one day,
in the presence Of his company:
"Why, nervousness is all .nsense; I
! tell you, lieutenant, no brave man will
be nervous"
WELL" inquired his lisping friend,
"how would you do, suppothe thell
with an inth futhe thoald drop ithclf in
a walled angle, in which You had taken
thelter from q company Of tharp thooters,
and where it wath thertin if you put out
your notbe you'd get peppcred?"
"lIow 2" said the captain, winking at
the circle, why, Id take it cool and
e2It on the fuse"
The party broke up, and all retired
except the patrol. The next morning a
number of soldiers assembled on the
parade-ground, and talking in circles,
when along came the lisping lieutenant.
, Lazlly opening his eyes, he remarked:
Il want to try an experiment thi,h
fine morning and see how extheedingly
cool you can BE-"
Saying this, he walked deliberately in
to the captains quarters, where a FIRE
! was burning on the hearth, and placed
in the hottest center powder canister,
and instantly retrcatcd. There was but
one mode Of egress from the quarters,
and that was upon the parade. ground:
the rear being built up for defence. The
occupant took one look at the canister,
comprehended his situation, and in
moment dashed at the door, but it vas
fastened.
"Charlie, let me out, il you love me !"
shouted the captain.
"Thpit on the canisterI" shouted the
lieutenant, in return.
Not moment was 10 be lost. He bad
first snaiched up blanket to cover his
egress, and now dropping it he raised the
window, and out be bounded sans every
thing but very short undcrgar,nent,
and thus with hair almost on end he
i dashed upon the full parade ground
! The shouts which hailed him drew out
! the whole barracks to see what was the
matter, and :he diguiied captain pulled
the sergeant in front Of him to hide him.
self.
"Why didn't you thpis on it?' asked
! the lieutenant.
"Why, because there were no sharp
shooters in front to prevent rctrest, J"
answered the captain"
All I've got tc say, then, ith, that
you might thafcly have done it; for III

BEHIND THE EEIL.-It is not always
the practice Of pretty ladies to wear q
veil. Not even coquctry will dispense
with the pleasure Of showing a lovely
countenance, and the most modest and
retiring beauty likes to be admired for
the regularity and delicscy Of her fea.
lures.
These reflections passed rapidly
through the mind Of wellknown mag.
istra.e riding up town recently. BY his
side sat lady, who from, q single
glimpse of her counlenance he imagined
that he knew. A; last he ventured the
r,mark that the day Was pleasant.
"Ies," murmured the female.
why do you wear a veil ?" inquired
the dispenser Of justice.
Lest attract attention."
ut is the province Of gentlemen to sd-
mirc," replied the gallant man Of law.
Not when they are married"
"But am not"
Indeed! -

In the house of Commons this afternoon
Mr.. Gregory gave notice that he should ques-

the settlement Of the San Juan boundary and
fshery questions, and on the Canadian loan.
MIR. Gladstone replied to the interrogatory
from Mr. Horsman. that the papers concern.
ing the recent negotiations with The United
States would include everything except Slr
Stafford NorthcOte's declaration as 10 the re-
sponsibll!ty OF the British commissioners.
Mr.. Horsman wanted to know whether the
records On the high joint commissioners Wonld
contain any minutes with regard to Indirect
claims, or show whether the question OF these
claims was raised at all? Also whether they
would prove that tie withdrawal OF said claims
only rested on an understanding between the
commissioners?
Mr.. Gladstone required notice OF the ques-
tion before giving IL q full answer, Dut would
state that no communication had passed be-
tween the commissioners and her Msjesty'S
government showing The exclusion OF indi-
rect claims rested on an understanding.
Mr.. Corrance asked If The government In
tended to proceed with the arbitration on mat
ters which had no relation with the Alabama
clalms-the Fenian raids, fisheries or Canadian
matters?
For the purpose OF obtaining the floor, Mr..
torrance Iuau6 d uOLlOh " oaJSohhs - SNAoA
cised the government, charging IL with neg
lecting the Canadas, and exactlng their assent
to The Treaty OF Washington under duress.
Mr.. Gladstone protested against the asser-
lion. He claimed his answers were misunder-
stood. he had said the postponement OF the
board of arbitration would not affect the
treaty, but the defeat OF one OF Its provisions
might, az when one of the wheels OF car
riage failed, all Jailed.
In reply to Vlscount Burys inquiry Of last
night, Mr.. Gladstone promised that all the
papers would be laid before the House TO-
night.
