then Nellie always made something for us to

you up"
"Thank you, Miss Nancy" said Nellie;
"you are just the very person [ wished to see.
have been so anxious to hear the result Of
your visit to Mrs. Wethered. Of course you
went there"
"Yes indeed, and a>spicy time had of it.
1 only thought she was impertinent before; but
kno,U it now."
"She wasn't impertinent to yoat, surely"
Indeed she was and think it was very
sinful in her to get angry with me, when l
only gave her good advice"
"What about"
"Well, you see everybody in the congrega'
ton is talking about how fine Mrs. Wethered
dresses herself and her children, so l thought
I would tell her about it."
"And what did she say, Miss Nancy?"
Nothing, except that her religion did not
depend on the clothes she wore, and so long
as they were all paid for, she did not care
what people said. 1 was in hopes she would
ask me what they did say"
"And what do they say?"
"That Mrs. Wethered is pressing on to
sanctifcation through loads of fnery.' Now,
what do you think of that ''
"It was severe thing to say of any one
1t must have been hard for you to tell, too,
Miss Nancy"
"Bless you, child! I don't mird saying
anything, if think its going to do good, you
know"
"But do you always do good?"
/ "Yes; that isl haven't made more than
dozen or two people mad with me ; and
even then, it don't last long. But have you
all heard about the doings at the Court House
last week p
"No," said Nellie, "there hasn't been an
other circus there, has there?"
"Worse than that The Odd Fellows gave
ball, and of all the behaviour you ever
heard of in your life that exceeded"
"Whose behaviour-the Odd Fellows? l
thought they were always propriety ITSELF
"No, it wasn't the young men, it was the
young ladies'
"What did they do?"
"It is so awful that l don't like to speak of
it, even to you; but they do say three of them
were deal drunk, and six were staggering"

blank in my life, to look for her in her accus-

DON'T BE IN A HURRY TO GO.

DON'T BE IN A HURRY TO GO.
Come, boys, have something to tell you;
Come here, would whisper it low;
You're thinking of leaving the homestead,
Don't be in hurry to go.
The city has many attractions,
But think of the vices and sins,
When once in the vortex of fashion,
How soon the course downward begins.
You talk of the mines of Australia,
They're wealthy in treasures, no doubt,
But ah, there is gold in the farm, boys,
Ifonly you'll shovel it out.
The mercantile life is hazard,
The goods are first high and then low,
Better risk the old farm awhile longer
Don't be in a hurry to go.
The great busy West has inducements,
And so has the busiest mart,
And wealth is not made in day, boys,
Don't be in hurry to start.
The banker and broker are wealthy,
They take in their thousands or so
All, think of their frauds and deceptlons-
Don't be in hurry to go.
The farm is the safest and surest;
The orchards are loaded to-day;
You are free as the air of the mountain,
And monarch Of all you survey.
But stay on the farm awhile longer,
Though profits come in rather slow,
Remember you've nothing to risk, boys
Don't be in a hurry to go.

LIFE IN New YoRK.-Under the most
favorable circumstances one-half the world is
not said to know how the other half lives.
Certain it is that to most of the New York
world, say nine-tenths of it, the published
discoveries of the Sanitary Squad who have
been exploring the underground dwellings of
the Sixth and Fourth wards bring revelations
ofsqualor, filth and degradation hardly possible
to believe. We are told of people living in
cellars unfit for the habitation Of the meanest
brutes, and Of heavy rentals for these dens
flowing into the pockets of people who per-
chance dwell in brown stone fronts, wear
costly clothes, and, mayhap, echo the Phari-
sale selflaudatory thanks to the Diety that
they are not as the sinner and the laboring
man. There were found rooms below the
street level, seven feet by five, where one hun.
dred and sixty cubic feet of such poisoned air
as only could penetrate thither was all that
each lodger could get, while above ground
three thousand cubic feet is only deemed a
fair allowance. One man was found bur-
rowing at depth of fifteen feet below the
surface, and, out Of respect to the inalienable
rights Of man, he was left undisturbed. He
took no dodgers had free mans privilege
to sufocate himself; and to-day he enjoys his
independence in his hole, as woodchuck
possibly might Where these noxious cellars
were used for lodgings, as was the common
case, they were emptied and closed by the
police, and the inmates enjoined to find more
wholesome quarters somewhere else, usually
very much to their disgust and amid loud and
profane protests against their ejectment.
This action of the health officers has long been
needed. Only actual force will prevent the
owners of the rat holes in the lower part of
the city from letting them as human habita-
tions-N. y Herald.

ORIGIN OF FAMILIAR WORDS.

The father of the great orator and states
man, Richard Brinsley Sheridan, when lessee
of old Crow street theatre, Dublin, was the
manager" alluded to in the origin Of the
word "quiz"
The word quiz, to make fun of or to poke
fun at person, was the coinage of theatri'
cal mlnager in Dublin, who, at drinking
party with his friends on Saturday night,
where the conversation turned upon the sub
ject of words, offered to bet the wine that he
could then and there coin word which would
be in the mouths of all Dublin next day. The
bet being taken and the party dispersed, the
manager called boys and runners, gave then,
pieces of chalk, and ordered them to run all
over the city chalking the word quiz on eve
ry door, shutter and fence they came to. This
was done, and as matter Of course the new
word was in everybody's mouth the next day.
The manager won his bet, and the word is
now in all respectable dictionaries.
"The slang expression for death, kicking
the bucket had its origin from one Bolsover,
who, in England, great while ago, commit
ted suicide by standing on bucket till he
kicked the bucket from under him.
"The word bumper meaning full drink
when friends are drinking, is a corruption of
the toast offered in French to the Pope when
the Catholic religion was in the ascendant in
England -'au bon pere.'
"To dunn to press for money due, comes
from one Joe Dunn, famous bailiff of Lin
coin, in England, during the reign of Henry
VII. He was so commonly successful in COL
lecting money that when man refused to
pay, the creditor was asked why he didn't
Dunn him.
"Humbug'is corruption of the Irish words
'uim bog pronounced oombug, signifying soft
copper, or pewter, or brass, or worthless mon
ey, such as was made by James II at the Dub
lin mint-twenty shillings Of which was worth

first and best chance. Mr.. Garrett, by means
of the Lynchburg and Danville road, may
for while draw off some of the travel, but
in process of time, when all the connections
of the Airline are perfected, Richmond will
have nothing to fear from Garrett or any one
else.
This road by easy grades, passes through
Piedmont, rolling, pastoral, beautiful and
fertile country. There is no danger to be
feared from the slides in deep cuts or the falls
from high embankments, and the traveller,
from the moment he leaves Richmond, may
bid defiance to frost and snow.

aeg One of Prince de Joinville's reminis-
cences has an interest for our own public.
"One day." he says, "at the heig ght of that
terrible crisis of secession, when the existence
of the American republic WAS most in peril, |
