A LAWYER was employed to collect a
bill of man in Cliftonville, Mass. The
man took refuge at the house Of a relative
in an adjoining county. The lawyer,
whom the man did not personally know,
called and said he wanted to sell horse.
The man wanted TO buy, and to try the
horse they took ride. The lawyer drove
over the line into Cliftonville and there
served the papers.

Doing any kind of work about home
quietly seems to make it easier. A slam.
mnig of oven doors, clatter of dishes, and
kindred noises tire and bewilder all who
hear them. The persons who accomplish
the most and best in anything-and the
rule applies to housework-are usually
the quiet workers. 3&

York show that the vice is on the increase,
and, what is worse, that intemperate
women are more nearly irreclaimable
than Incorporate men. The number of

THE NEW SENATOR FROM MISSISSIPPI

THE NEW SENATOR FROM MISSISSIPPI.
The Legislature Of Mississippi has shown q
wisdom and an amount Of good sense far in i'd
vance ofsome Of its predecessors IN the election
to the Uuited States Senate of Col. h. r.
Pease-a man Of education, sound political
views, ability, and whose integity has never
been questioned; he 10 about forty years Of
age, native Of Massachusetts, lawyer by
profession, and Of the old time-honored school
Of New England advocates of freedom. He
entered the Union army in the early part Of
the var, and servedwith distinction to its close,
and having for large portion Of his life made
popular education study, be was assigned to
the duty of organizing and perfecting the edu-
cational system of Louisiana. The ability he
displayed, and the success which attended his
efforts I'm that direction were so marked that
on the expiration of his military service he was
offered, and accepted, the position of superin-
tendent Of public instruction in the State of
mississippi under the Freedman's Bureau, which
place he held until the State was reconstructed
under the new constitution. In the reorgan-
ization of the State under the new regime, Col.
Pease vas most untiring and able in assisting
prominent as Q Republican leader. At the
formation of the State government he was
elected superintenden ofeducation for the State.
To the duties of this important office he has
devoted himself with an industry and skill that
has developed one of the best systems of educa-
ton in the entire South. He drafted the bill
establishing the common public and normal
schools, and, in fact, most, If not all, of the
laws bearing upon the subject of education now
in force in the State. He held the position of
State superintendent until he was elected to
the United States Senate. We congratulate
Mississippi on having such representation in
the councils Of the nation, and hope she will
have the good sense to keep him there.

"a SUNBEAM.

The greatest Of physical paradoxes is the
sunbeam. It q the most potent and versatile
force we have, and yet it behaves itself like the
gentlest and most accommodating. Nothing
can fall more softly or more silently upon the
earth than the rays of our most great lumi-
nary-not even the festhery fakes Of snow
which thread their way through the atmo-
sphere as II they &ere too fimy to yield to the
demands of gravity like grosser things. The
most delicate slipof gold leaf, exposed as a
target to the suns shafts, is not stirred to the
extent Of . hair, though an infants faintest
breath would set It in tremulous motion. The
tenderest of human organs, the apple of the
eye, though pierced and buffeted each day by
thousands of sunbeams, suffers no pain during
the process, but rejoices In their sweetness,
blcsses the useful light. Yet few Of those
rays insinuating themselves into mass of iron,
like the Britannia tubular bridge, will compel
the closely knit particles to separate, and will
move the whole enormous fabric with as much
ease as q giant would straw. The play Of
those beams upon our sheets of water lifts up
layer after layer into the atmosphere, and
hoists whole rivers from their beds, only to
drop them again In SHOWS upon the hills or in
fattening showers upon the plants. Let but
the air drink in 9 little more sunshine ct one
place than another, and 1t desolates q whole
region in It's lunatic wrath: The marvel Is that
q power which is capable of assuming such Q
diversity of forms, and Of producing such stu
pendous results, should come to us in so gentle
SO peaceful and so unpretentious manner

AMERICAN LABOR.

Canon Freemantle, in recent lecture in
London on America, said that no American
will enter into domestic service. II that were
right, It would be equally wrong to keep ser
want. But the same people who regard domes-
tic service q degradation, have no scruple
against employing Irish or German servants.
The Canon thought there was truer feeling in
England, where the most honorable relations
are often found to exist between master and
servant. The Canon, however, said he would
leave It to his hearers whether the excessive in
dependence Of the American or the dependence
of the ENGLISH workman was preferable. At O
station in Boston he foypd II impossible to get
any one to carry his luggage 70 another Sta
ton three hundred yards Oh, and had to do It
himself, though, a. there were several boxes,
he would gladly have paid. When he arrived
at Euston station, London, two fine fellows ran
by the side Of his cab all the way to Gloucester
Plain, over mile, for the chance Of earning
sixpence for carrying In the luggage. Which,
he asked, 4 the better state Of things-that In
which you cannot get man to work for you

HE WOULD SING.

A rather singular lawsuit has taken place in

stop a good man who couldn't sing from max
ing the attempt in church. The name Of the
unfortunate lover of song is William Linklaw,
indicted for misdemeanor, and tried before
Russell, Judge, at Robson Superior Court.
Defendant was indicted for disturbing reli-
gious congregation. The evidence, as detailed
BY several witnesses, was substantially this ::
Defendant Is member Of the Methodist
Church. He sings in such o way % to disturb
the congregation. At the end of each verse his
voice Is heard after the other Gngers have
ceased. One of the witnesses being requested
to describe defendants singing initiated II by
singing q verse in the voice and manner of de-

and Irresistible laughter, convulsing alike The
