FhlRl1ANEN.
The annual picnic of the members
of the ohakesperian. Reading Club of
this place, occurred on Tuesday after
noon, the 10th inst, at Bishops new din
ing hall, Lake Bomoseen, attended by
some twenty-five ladies and gentleman
of Fairhaven and vicinity, in celebra-
ton of the second anniversary of the
club. The exercises consisted of the
customary dinner and riding, plus
an amount of real pleasure and enjoy
ment which your reporter would despair
of telling.
The preface was the photographing of
the party, dog Snyder not left out, at
the new hotel, by the Castleton artists,
who were ready on the spot, and who
deserve much credit for their complete
and life-like pictures. Dinner being
next disposed of, which consisted of ev-
cry variety of good eatables, not to speak
of the non-eatat,les which fell to the lot
of modest young attorney and COM
mittee-man, the company gathered on
the open lawn north of the hall and on
the margin of the beautiful water, to
spend an hour of intellectual repast.
Toasts prepared for the occasion were
read by Mr.. E. L. Allen. The first in
order, '"The day We celebrate" was re-
sponded- to by Mr.. Geo. NJ. Fuller, who
spoke of the origin and work of the so
ciety.
'John Stuart Mil; England's great
metaphysician and philosopher we
mourn his departure and rejoice in his
labors."
Mr., A N. Adams gave a prepared ac-
count of Mr.. Mills life and teachings.
1.-The city in the sea. Mrs. L. T. AL
len read an interesting letter from Ven
ice, written by the Rev. Sidney Craw-
ford, former m member of the club.
A poem, written for the day, and
finely echoing the voices of the song
birds in the trees overhead, as well as
the spirit of calnaness and beauty per-
vading earth, air, and water, was read
to the delight of all, by Mr.. f. H..
Phelps.
Rev. w. t. Ross. spoke of sour
Dramatic Poets and what real poetry
may do for.us.
The Indispensable ''Chronicle," pre-
pared and read year ago by Miss Hat
tie d. Allen, but, who was prevented by
sickness, from attending or taking part
in the exercises of this anniversary, was,
this year, written and read by Miss
Emiline Gilbert, an adept at such writ
ing. 1t recalled In quaint scriptural
style, many of the interesting incidents
of the year past, and added much to the
interest of the occasion. The songs of
Miss Gilbert and Miss Baldwin, accom-
panied by Mr.: G.. w. Remnant on the
guitar, brought this part of the pro-
gramme to an end, only to open another
act with scenes of boatm an here and

Waiting for a Chance.

1t is some time now since the sightseeing
public have been favored with the exhibition
of lion tanner devoured by the beasts he has
tanned, but it seems probable that we shall
not have to wait long for pleasing catastro-
pie OF this nature. which, unless it OCCASION
ally occurred, would OF C u RE make tie pxh;-
bition even tanner than the lions. The Brae-
mer col respondent of the Dundee Advertiser
mentions that few days ago a menagerie
was exhibited at that place. During the last
performance of the evening LAMBETH, the
liou tamer," was in the cage with the male
lion, putting the animal through the Usual
exciting exercise, when he slipped and fell
just as "the king of beasts was boundii
past him. He almost Immediately legained
his footing, and evidently not moment too
soon, for the fierce brute gave an enraged
roar, and seemed ready to spling upon him.
BY accidental contact with the lions paw his
trousers were torn, and his leg slightly
scratched. His GOODNESS was remarkable.
Motloning to the assistant, who rushed with
sliding partition to the cage, to keep back,
he slowly m wed to the wicket, and before
leaving, thanked the faudience for their at
tendance. The affair. 1t is stated, produced a
painful sensation, which was not lessened by
the apparent rage of the lion, when he saw
that his victim had escaped. In the fall the
performer lost revolver, with which he was
armed, the weapon being subsequently found
among the straw. Altogether there must
have been quite enough excitement to render
the exhibition we worthy the patronage of
the inhabitants of Braemar, but NJ. LAMBETH

A Good Health Sermon.

At the meeting of the American Public
Health Association at Cincinnati, DIR. Jarvis
of Massachusetts is repor. as having made
the following remarks, which are as compre-
hensive, practical and vital as any tract for
the times need be:
"Dr, Jarvis said that much of the ill-health
OF families was the result of the culpable
foolishness of bringing up girls with no idea
of household work. A girl is married when
she knows how to talk and sing and play in
differently on the piano. She is full of poetry
joyousness, aesthetic tastes, but she knows
literally nothing about the details of the
housework. But there she is. She may not
know the difference between a raw and boiled
potato, between the -four in the barrel and in
the loaf on the table, A serving woman has
to be hired, and very few Of them know real
ly how " TO cook. A dressmaker has regular
course of training to fit her for her work, but
it is supposed that any one can cook. She
says to-day we are lucky; our bread is light
and sweet Would any woman tolerate q
dressmaker who should say: We are lucky
to-dar; the dress fits wel!?' Tomorrow the
cook says: We are unlucky to-day; the
bread is sour and heavy If a dressmaker
should cut her dresses by luck rather than by
system, she would quickly get her discharge.
But. no; husband must sit down to the sour
bread and ill-cooked meat. He will not say
anything, and the guests will overlook defects
and sit down in sorrow and eat their bread in
bitterness. We are more sure of being we'll
dressed than of being well fed. The outer
man is tolerably sure of comfort, but the in
ner man must sit down to the table with fear
and trembling. The Irish girl in the kitchen
is very otter the cause of damage and loss in
the counting room. The Irish girl makes
sour bread, which makes bad blood and weak
brain. The merchant goes down to the
counting room weak, head aching and ener-
vated. He does not know what Is the mat
ter, but Mephistopheles could he look into
his stomach would see the sour bread there.
He believed that poverty ran through the
whole man. 1t became part of his moral and
intellectual elements. Poor food made poor
man, and the poor elements went down to his
posterity. He believed staongly in hereditary
transmissions, but even if they did not occur
there was fact to be noticed, namely, that if
a man had nothing to transmit, the child
would have nothing. This would apply to
the moral and intellectual elements as well as
to the physical condition"

AnecdOte of Webster.

At the city dinner on the Fourth of July,
1859, in Faneuil Hall, DR.. r. FL. Neale, chap
lain of the day turning to the picture of
Webster replying to Hayne, remarked that he
spent his youthful days in Washington, wit
Messing the scene there portrayed and hear
ing the address in which was first uttered
that great sentiment, 'Liberty and Union,
now and forever, one and inseparable," and
related an amusing incident which happened
to Mr.. Webster just after the great speech.
For the purpose of little relaxation, he went
to Virginia with some friends. They called
at farm house and asked for some m Tx and
water to drink. The good woman of the
house went to get some. Her husband, who
had been intently reading newspaper con-
tanning Mr.. Webster's speech. asked Mr..
Webster, ''Do you know Webster?', "Yes I
believe do" was the reply. swell how
does he look?' Rather savage said i'd nv NV
Webster; "they say he looks like me" .sWeIj
are you Webster?' Eyes, thew saw am am
and suppose it is so.' By this time the
wife came in with the milk and wafer Gear
ry that back! carry that back p' said the hus-
band. Thsis Daniel Webster. Make pitch

A New Calling.

There are certain ambitious, but very i'm
pecunious, young men who are ever on the
alert for helpless old ladies at crossings in
London streets. 4 he tradition Is that it may
hrppen fortune may come out of little act
of courtesy. Old ladies in London are re-
garded as fairy god-mothers. But new edi-
ton Of these street romances has Just been
published Young ladies have chance as
well as young men. 1t appears that not long
ago blind man was crossing Regent street
with dog, and was in imminent danger of
being run over by rapid carriage. A young
lady, acting on the impulse of the moment,
rushed forward, gave the blind man a violent
push, which sent him flying, but saved his
life. The heroic act was witnessed by
wealthy old bachelor passing at the time, who
managed to get introduced, proposed and
fin Ally married the plucky young lady. Ever
since that dat. other young ladies have wait
ed eagerly at crossings to iall in with simi-
lar fate. They have lodged bliLd beggars all
over London, and ogled a likely looking bach
elor. They have prayed for an opportunity
of exercising their presence of mind and Sc
curing their fortune. This, blythe by, is all
very well for the ladies, but it is rather bore
70, the beggars. A fall is better than death;
but there may be cases when the tumble
might altogether be dispensed with.
