whom kindness is thrown away, and
against whom the Government has long
been contending. Encouraged by the
Pharisees of the North, this class stands
behind the more ignorant and reckless,
urging them ON to violence by indirect
appeals to theirpassions, and by tanning
the dying embers of the war at every
opportunity. There is probably no
remedy for this, save in the dawn of a
better spirit IN the South, and the unfal-
tering devotion of the loyal masses of
the North, who shall prove bytheir rigid
adherence to principle that their union
ism is something more than mere
name.-Eater-Oc Ocean. s.ii-f

The Belgian Government has recently
ordered securely-locked letter-boxes to
be placed in al tire insane asylums OF
the country, public or private, IN posi-
tons where they will be easily accessi-
Bile by all of the inmates. They are de-
signed to allow complaints and sngges-
tions 10 be made to ii e authorities IN a
way independent of any of the officers
or attendants; and no one connected
with the institution can have access to
them. They are in charge of the pro-
c,y,.uy' du r0i of the district, and the
Ieiters are taken to him weekly for ox-
animation the complaints are investi-
gated. and if any one asserts that he
sane. he is ordered to be examined by
medical experts. The system exerts a
wholesome and beneiicent influence ;

management Of similar institutions III

lion here should be brought about at

POSTAL C4RD DEMAND.

The Postoffice Department has made
acquisitions on the contractors for d.
126, 900 postal cards. OF this number
AIS, 600 have been sent to postmas-
ters, leaving orders untitled in the hands
of the contractors amounting to 7,0Oe,-
800. Add to this the number of cards
ordered by the postmasters and not yet
forwarded to the contractors, VIZ, 10
33l, 900, and there is total deficiency
in supplying orders of 1880, 400. 1t
lacks few days of three months since
the first cards were issued. 1t was es-
t;mated at the Department that 1OO,-
600, 900 would be required to supply the
demand for the first year. This estimate
was too low, for already the orders from
postmasters aggregate 81, 45s, 400.

TIE GOBLIN CAT.
A BALLAD,

"Come h,thsr, hither, little boy,
si1pence bright this bit is;
I'll give it all TO thee if thou
Wilt drown these little kitties.s
Quoth thus the good old housewife she,
And thus tbs boy quoth he:
"Lady, I'll drown them willingly,
II fmine the bit may be-
Then in a hug she thrust each kit,
And tied it with bow-string;
And sped the boy with bag and bit
Like arrow from bow-string.
He stood upon the river side,
That boy with sunny brow;
"Retc. r,e,c," the little kittens cried
He, mocking, cried, "Dse-o,e."
Then, purring, rubt . I against his feet
Tho poor old pusssie-mother,
As If to say, Sweet lad, nay, nay!
o, spare them! I've none other.r
No pity had that little lad,
He did not care feather;
But in the sack he thrust the cat,
And drowned them all together.
Then felt that little boy that lie
Had done a dreadful deed;
And SO he turned with brow that burned,
And fled with sll his speed
Into tesnpting candy thcr,
To buy both this and that:
But for his bit he naught could get
Except a candy cat.
He put it in his pocket deep,
And to the good-wife ran:
40, what's the matter-why dust weep,
Ny boy-my little mani"
40, lady, lady, have done
An awful deed, see,
Those little innocents to drown
Who ne'er did harm to me-"
Then from his pocket sweiled a Shrek,
VI A CHASTITY, hoarse " meor'" ~ ID
And fear did blanch his ruddy cheek,
And pale that lady's brow;
As forth out-sprung goblin grim,
cat with a woful wall,
Six spectral kittents from her mouth,
Suspended by the tail.
Then turned and fled that wife with dread,
The boy, he followed after,
While fierce pursuit that goblin brood
With shrieks of feline laughter.
Prom morn till night they kept their flight;
From night til morn fed they;
And if old beidameis tales be true,
They run unto this day.
Ner ever shall they fnd a rest,
Nor tarry in their flight
So suffer those who in the woes
OF cate aud kits delight;

TRIED AND TR UE.

1t was the Carnival season in Paris
sand Col Eugene Merville, an attache of
the great Napoleon's staff, who had won
his way to distinction with hisown saber,
found himself at the masked ball in the
French opera house. Better adapted in
his tastes to the field than to the boudoir,
< he f1irts but little with the gay figures
that cover the floor, and joins but seldom
in the waltz. BIT at last, while stand
ing thoughtfully and regarding the as
sembled throng with vacant eye, his
attention was suddenly aroused by the
81 appearance Of q person in white satin
q domino, the universal elegance of whose
figure, manner, and bearing convinced
al that her face and mind must be equal
to her person in grace and loneliness.
Though in SO mixed an assembly,
still there was dignity and reserve in
the. manner Of the white domino that
g rather repulsed the idea of familiar
address, and it was some time before
theyoung soldier found courage to speak
to her. r
70 Some alarm being given, there was
violent rush of the throng toward the
door; where, unless assisted, the lady
would have materially suffered. Eugene
Merville, offers his arm, and with his
broad shoulders and stout frame wards
off the danger. 1t was delightful mo-
ment the lady spoke the purest French,
was witty, fanciful, and captivating.

eyes. / feel that you are beautiful
Ill cannot be otherwise.
Don't be too sure of that, said the
domino. Have you never heard of the
Irish poet Moore's story of the veiled
prophet of Khorasan-how, when he dis
: closed his countenance, its hideous aspect
killed his beloved one. How do You
know that 1 shall not turn out veiled
prophet of Khorasan?'
{ "Ah, lady, your every word convinces
me to the contrary" replied the 'nrap,
tured soldier, whose heart had begun to
e feel as it never felt before (; he was In
love.
She ciudes his efforts at discovery ;
bu. permits him to hand her to her car
riage, which drives off in the darkness,
and though he throws himself upon his
feetest horse, he is unable to overtake
her.
The young French colonel becomes
moody; he has lost his heart, and knows
not what to do. He wanders hither and
thither, shuns his former places oi
amusement, avoids his military com
panions, and, in short, is miserable as
lover can well be thus disappointed.
One night, inst after he had left his
hotel on foot, figure, muffied up to the
very ears, stopped him.
''well, monsieur, what would you
with me ?" asked the soldier.
You would know the name OF the
white domino 2" was the reply.
Il would, indeed" replied the Officer
hastily. "How can it be done ?"

Advertising.

Judicious advertising always pays.
If you have good thing, advertise it. If
you havn't, don't
If you don't mean to mind your own
business it will not pay to advertise.
Never run down your opponents goods
in public Let him do his own adyer-
Using.
You can't eat enough in one week to last
whole year. and you can't advertise on
that plan, either
A large advertisement once and then
discontinued creates the impression that
the man has 6zzled
It's as true of advertising as of anything
else in the world-if it's worth doing at ali,
it's worth doing we'll
1njudicious advertising is like fishing
where these are no fish. You need not lei
the lines fall in the wrong place
If you can arouse curiosity by an adver-
tisement it is a great point gained. The
fair sex don't hold all the curiosity in the
world.
The people who advertise only once in
three months forget that most folks can
remember anything longer than about sew,
en- days.
A standing advertisement, even though
small one, is like a sign over a store
ever in sight, and constant suggestion t.
the public of something the public should
have, and the place to get it.
