biddcn but was scarcely at his post
before tho huntsmcn came up, per-
cmptorily ordering the gate to be

and his determination to obey them.
Threats and brbes were offered alike

commanding tones "My boy, do you

one not accustomed TO be disobeyed
and command you TO open that gate,

and stood uncovered before the man
whom all England delighted TO honor,

Greatly pleased, the sturdy old
warrior lifted his own hat, and said

"OwEs Me- A LIvINa."-Itis is among
men who try TO get a living by some,

at the expense of the tailor, and drinks
at the cost OF his friends, always in.

and declares his intention to secure
the debt. lshould like TO know how it
is that man who owes the world for
every mouthiul he ever ate, and every
garment he ever put on, should be 50
heavy creditor in account with the
world The loafer lies about it. Tho
world owes him nothing, but a very
rough coffin, and retired and other
wise useless place to put it in. Tho
world owes a living to those who are
not able to earn one, to children, to
tho sick, to the disabled and tho aged,
TO all who, in the course of nature or
by force of circumstances, are depend
cnt; and il was mainly for the supply
of the wants Of these that men were
endowed with the power TO produce
more than enough for themselves.
To genuine shirk the world owes
nothing; and when he tells me with a
whine that the world owes him iv-

to the kitchen of a dwelling where | was
staying, to deliver some parcels. While
his basket was being emptied, he seemed
in perfect frenzy of distress from chill.

to remove his boot for moments relief.
The lady of the house Immediately sent
to the cellar for an old pan, and brought
some corn meal, requiring the boy to re-
move his stockings. He protested that he
had not moment to lose, and must hasten
back to his work. In an instant red-hot
Goals were placed in the pan and hand
full of the meal being thrown upon them,
the suffering feet were held in the dense
smoke. Before the meal had burned out,
the anguish Of the chilblains was quite
gone. The Goals and meal were renewed,
aud in fifteen minutes the youth was on
his way 10 the store, entirely relieved, al.
though the trial seemed much too short to
be successful.

Margery Dean, in a letter from New

tween some young ladies concerning the
merits of certain newspapers: Sitting on
hotel piazza, the other morning, watch
ing a group of young ladies, | overheard
a curly-headed little maiden, who was
frizzled and paniered aud pulled in the
height of style, exclaim, "Oh, | like the
independent hest :" \ moment before,

a stylish, saucy looking girl, who was
pelting somebody over the railing with
pond-lilies-a beautiful bunch, by the
way, which FIVE minutes before l had seen
a gentleman carefully selecting for her
from little urchin's basket.
And when, | wonder, do you girls get
time TO read the newspapers "Fold them
four double, of course" was the next
sentence | caught, and more puzzled than
before, l walked near the group, when
everything was made clear to me by the
blonde little one saying;
i would rather have newspaper any
day, than the best panier that was ever
made in Paris.

whether to laugh or feel provoked with

When a woman performs, worthily, the
duties which fall to her "a wife and
mother, her lot is at best hard one, and
all the love and care which her husband
and childrea can bestow upon her will but
scantily repay her for the toll and hard
ships she is constantly undergoingtor their
sakes. The soul of a conscientious mother
is filled with anxiety for the welfare OF
her children, and self is always second
ary consideration. In caring for them,
and training their minds that they may
one day fill their appointed places IN the
world, as noble men and women, her brow
grows wrinkled and her hairs grey. She
+ bowed down with many cares; she al
lows herself no time to rest, no time for
enjoyment; she is martyr to her family.
In many instances we meet with this. Ii
is taken by husband and children as
matter of course, that mother Is the VIII
ling slave to them all, and therefore they
let her work, taking no pains to Tighten
her labors. or to delegate the heaviest to
others, until she drops down beneath her
burdens. and too late her bercaved family
mourn their short-sighted folly In permit
ting her TO work herself into the grave
And vet women are themselves directly
responsible for many of these hardships,
from which they suffer. 4 woman should
start on her marriage with the firm reso-
luton to bear only her proper share OF the
burden and heat of the day, and not to
bear il all. She should reserve to herself
as sacred right not to sink into mere
housekeeping drudge, and merge her IN
dividuality into weary round OF wash
ing. ironing, scrubbing and baking der
husband has no right to demand 1t OF her'
and she should not accede TO his demands
if he does. The reason that We see so
many prematurcly old American women
is because, as general rule, they are over
worked. They toll on, week after week
month after month, sacrificing all the
comfort and beauty OF their lives ana
6naIlv when their health breaks down UNI
der the constant strain, spend more money
in feeling doctors, and striving to regain II
than would have sufhced to have hired
some of their work done, and preserved
health, and enjoyed life as they went
along.
Imagine that wife should say to her
husband. Charles, suppose you give up
smoking this winter, and let US take that
money to hire the washing" how, in nine
cases out of ten would Charles receive the
proposition? Give up smoking? Foreso
his precious pipe? Abstain from his al
ter-dinner cigar? Never! She may wash
or not, but he must smoke, and thereafter,
the smoke from Charles cigar ascends
gracefully toward Heaven, while, unless
he can afford both, his wife still breathes
weary signs amidst the foam from her
wash-tub. Many woman tolls heavily
one day every week, to save sum which
vanishes in smoke from her husbands
pipe. Now, this is all wrong, and woman
everywhere, should rise in rebellion at
such state of things.-HOnan's Jour
nal.

The pig will stagser about. act fright

apparently well. only when fed he would
commence eating, then throw up his
head and fall down. One would sup.
pose him TO be choking to death. in five
minutes he would get up all right. and
eat very fast. Your correspondent has

As remedy. We keep the pig from eat
