HE WAS LEFT.-A genuine touch of woman nature, as we'll as human nature, pervades the following from a corres- pondent in Detroit: "A comfortable old couple sat a seat or two in front of us on the railroad during one of the hottest days of last summer. The journey was evidently one of the events of their lives, and their curiosity excited the att tention of the passengers. At way station the old gentleman stepped out of the cars to get drink, or to buy a doughnut, and heard the bell only in time to rush to the door of the eating house and see the train moving off with out him. The old lady in her seat had been fdgeting. and looking out of the window in her anxiety for his return, and when she saw his plight, his frantic gestures for the train to stop as it swept farther and farther away, she exclaimed "'There! my old mans got left! he has! there, sec he has!!! Wall,' she continu- ed, settling back into her seat again, I'm glad on't-it's always been ssMam- my, you'll get left! nanny, you'll get left!" all my life long; and now he's gone and got left, and I'm glad ont. s'Her candid reflection on the accident, and the evident satisfaction she felt in the fact that it was the old man and not herself that was left, was greeted by a round of laughing applause. Not few of the ladies in the car were delighted that it was the old man and not the woman who had caught it this time. For once, the lord and not the lady had made the blunder, and gone and got left"

MILITARY TRAINING IN FRANCE. II has been decided to transfer the super vision of all the youths educated in the lycees, or French public schools, to mili- tary repetitem's, or tutors. The tutors, as the French desigation partly indicates have, till now, been drawn from the pro- i with the care of the collegians during the hours of study. Their duty is to watch over the discipline of the estab- lishment, and to attend to the education of the pupils by making them repeat or rehearse their work prior to the public examinations. The new tutors will be composed of retired officers and adjutants selected by the Minister of War. Every college will have captain as general superintendent, whose special duty it will be to preside over the preparatory school. He will also have to inspect the drilling exercise of all the pupils. He will be second in authority only to the provisor, or master, and receiver, be- sides his retiring pension, salary of 1,500 francs, with board and lodging in the college. Under his immediate or ders will be placed six ieutenants, who will receive salary of 1000 francs, with an indemnity of 500 francs for board and lodging. Besides these officers there will be six adjutants, whose duty it will be to superintend the sleeping-rooms, passages and gymnastic exercises. They will receive salary of 800 francs, with board and lodging. In short, the rising generation will be handed over body and mind to the military arm.-Lomdom Tale qroph.

A NATION OF L1ARs.-The island of Ceylon is very beautiful, the scenery lovely, and the soil productive in spices and many kinds of fruit; indeed, it is sad that it alone might produce stuff
 cient coffee for the consumption of the entire world. The natives, however,
 are far from pleasing. They are gen erally of short stature, very efeminate- looking, apathetic, and such liars that it is impossible to depend upon their word. If they may but repose for hour after hour under tree, with piece of bread fruit beside them, they seem to care for little else. The men wear their hair turned up behind with comb, the height of the comb denoting the rank of the wearer. This, and the small features,
 gives them altogether such an effeminate appearance that it is difficult for Euro peans to distinguish them from females.
 A visitor lately entered one of the schools, and, seeing 8 row of boys sitting with their backs towards him, and each with comb in his head, unconsciously asked if boys and girls were educated together. One of the natives of high rank was lately called on to give evidence at Q trial, and swore such complete false hoods that he was imprisoned for per- jury. He applied to the English govern ment and, with surprise, asked why he should be punished for what his people did. My father," he said, ''was liar, and my grandfather was liar, and we are all liars. It is the custom of my country. Why should I be punished?'

THE GREAT GRAIN ARTERY. Ro- chester paper says: s'Those who have been led by false statistics and spacious arguments to fear that the great grain trade of the Northwest is in danger of being diverted from it's natural channel of transportation and will find its way to the seabord, via Montreal, the Mississip. pi River or other routes, would do we'll to pause and reflect before regarding their opinion as definitely fixed. The receipts of grain at Buffalo up to the present time are no less than last year, making due allowance for the lateness of the opening of navigation in the spring and just now shipments which have been delayed in the hope of re- duction of freights, or from other causes are pouring in at an unprecedented rate. During forty eight hours there were re- ceived at Buffalo 1,356,O00 bushels of grain. A very large fleet of grain laden vessels is also on its way from the upper lakes, and some of them are constantly arriving. In referring to the business of the canals the Buffalo Comrier says: 'sIt has been exceptionally good, al- though it has not been as profitable to the carriers as that of the lakes. The shipments of grain by canal since it's opening have already exceeded 35, 900, 900 bushels which is but 500,OOO less than had been shipped last year at this time
 When we consider that the season has been two weeks shorter this year than last, owing to the later opening of the canal last spring we have reason to be satisfied. Comparing the business for the same number of days in each year. the shipments are much larger this year than last" These facts go to show that nothing that has yet been said in regard to diversion of the grain trade is wor- thy of serious consideration.

Co1oRADo.-In Colorado poets seem to be natural outcropping of the soil, though at present the growth seems im- perfect. Imagination is largely devel- oped, though with som deficiency in the sphere of accuracy, or perhaps we should say sobriety of statement. We take the following from local paper. Perhaps it is slightly high-falutin' as to the fer tility of the soil, but that will be par doned:
 Is it where the eabbages grow so fast That they burst with noise like the thunder's
 blast?
 Is it where through the rich deep mellow soil The beets grow down as if boring for oil Is it where the turnips are hard to beat, And the cattle grow fat on nothing to eat Is it where each irrigating sluice Is fed by water melon juice ?

 " Does it ?'' lisped Martha innocently as she looked into her own smiling, sauc, eyes, under fringe of crepe hair.

 Are they engaged ?'' Martha asked the tell tale roses dying her cheek as sh' gently spoke.
 "Well no, not exactly. I guess she' rather pretty, but she's got nothing of he own, you see and there's Almira Playfai the one on the left-hand edge of th' chimney"
 "The one with the twisted nose ? roguishly asked Martha.
 Her nose may be a little to one side.' severely y reconstructed Miss Rachel " but handsome is that handsome does, anc Almira has thirty thousand dollars in the bank"
 My p cried Martha, opening her eyes wide. G Thirty thousand dollars, ma'am I should think MT. Ralph would marry hel at once."
 '' So he ought" said Miss Rachel, rub ping her spectacle glasses vehemently "She'd have him in minute-so all the neighbors say. But he's just possessed in love with that little Peronel girl. He'd rather work for crust day, with her to share it, he says, than to marry Elmira Playfalr with all her money"
 "That is noble of him." cried Martha with sparkling eyes. q respect him for it. IT mean I should respect him for it iE-"
 "Well, I don't see what it is to you one way or the other," tartly broke in Miss Rachel. 'Just give the room good dust ing, that's all ask of you, for as like as not Ralph will be here tonight.
 Tonight" cried Martha, aghast.
 Yes, tonight. Why shouldn't he?'
 That was just what the little serving damsel could not answer.
 "I must go away this very evening, , she thought to herself as she polished away at the claw-footed old mahogany table. " Because if he should come and find me here-Oh, good gracious"
 She dropped her duster in dismay, for there stood Ralph Penryn before her, with all his six feet of altitude, his brown eyes twlnkling mischievously beneath their long lashes.
 Patty," he cried, ''is this the story of Cinderella and the Little Glass Slipper?"
 "No," she answered, coloring like a whole garden of roses. "It's the story of a naughty little girl who could not be sat isfied without finding out whether-''
 Whether Ralph Penrhyn really loved her or not,o he finished the hesitating sen- tence. "Well, what do you think?''
 The question was what Aunt Rachel thoug ght some ten minutes later, when she came in, and found her nephew and Mar tha the housemaid whispering behind the muslin curtains. I know what should have thought-that wedding was very imminent.
 So it was; and Aunt Rachel consoled herself that after all, ten thousand dollars was very snug little fortune.-Ledger.

Hints to Housekeepers.

The woman best fitted to make the tireside happy, is she whose mind is
 well stored with practical and useful
 knowledge, is accomplished without af
 fectation, retiring and modest without
 prudery, frank, free and gay, without frivolity, and thinks her husband the
 greatest man the world ever saw or is every likely to see. Faith in the latter involves thousand endearing qualities in wife, which we have not time to enumerate. In country like this, where there is no established order of aristocracy, where fortunes change hands so frequently, there are but few
 antilles. the female head of which is not required to attend to the economy of the household; to be good housekeeper Gis therefore, to be reckoned principal accomplishment in the girl for wife,
 If fortune happily secures her from the necessity of partaking of the duties of 8 housewife, the knowledge of direction will be invaluable, for servants are all most uniformly careless. Indeed, when we consider the selfishness of human na- ture, it is perhaps unreasonable to ex- pect hirelings to guard the interests of their employers as faithfully as they would their own. A great deal of waste occurs in the kitchen, therefore-for in- stance, in the boiling of meats. The cook will throw out the water without letting it cool to take off the fat, or scrape the dripping pan into the swill pail. Now the grease is useful in many ways It can be burned in lamps, mixed with lard, or, when no pork has been boiled with it, made into candles, Bits of meat are thrown out which would make hash. Bones are burned that would make soap. The four is sifted in 8 wasteful manner, or the bread pan left with dough sticking to it. Pie crust is laid by to sour instead of making few tarts for tea. Cold buildings are con- sidered good for nothing, when often times they might be steamed for the next day. Vegetables are thrown away that would warm for breakfast nicely. Apples decay for want of looking over. Dish cloths are thrown where mice can destroy them. Soap Is left in water to dissolve. If Bath brick, whiting, rotten stone, etc., are used, much is wasted uselessly. So much for practial illustra- tion. All the instances of carelessness we have enumerated are trifing in themselves, but, together with many more which could be mentioned, make a formidable whole. Thus the mistress of a house will often allow her husbands money to be wasted, thinking, the while, that because she dresses more plainly than some of her neighbors, she is a most superior economist.
