a PrOviiIent Wife.

We find in late number of the New

lustratiOn Of the great present de8rth of
respectable dress making hands in that
colony. 1t seems that well-to-dO set
tier near Auckland was lately attacked
by an illness which his medical attend
ant dcclnred must terminate fatally, so
severe were the symptoms. After lying
in IN apparently hopeless state for some
days, he suddenly took Il turn for the bet
ter, and, thanks to strong constitution,
made rapid recovery. Not long after
hc had returned to business he was much
startled, on opening IN account presented
at his Office, to find himself chnrged with
full set of widows weeds Of an clab-
orHtely complete description. A dnmes-
tic explanation naturally followed, and
his wife reminded him that he had nlways
made it u special desire that the fhct oi
their having cmigraicd to n colony should
never prevent her dressing rs lady.
"And the dress-makers here, you know"
she added, shave matters so entirely in
their own hands that they generally keep
you waiting for months for anything new,
So when | was told that you could rnt
possibly recover, ordered what u
would wish inc to- wcnr before haud;u i
now the things have only just come hom ="
The bill WAS promptly settled. Whet; r
thc husband was comsOlGd for the ouliay

wife had the things ready by her is u

No battlc-joy was theirs who sot ..-.-.
Agsins. The alien bayonet Z. = ~
Their homcspun breasts In that old lay.
Their feet had trodden peaceful ways,
5 They loved not strife, they dreaded pa:u;
They saw not, what TO us Is plain,
That God would make mans wrath his praise
No sccrs were they, but simple men;
Its vast results the future hid;
The meaning Of the work they did
Was strange and dark and doubtful then
Swift rs the Summons came they left
The plOw mld.furrow, standing still,
The background corn .grist in the mill
The spade In Garth, the AZ in cleft.
They went where duty seemed to call;
They scarcely asked the reason why;
They only knew they could but die,
And death was not the worst Of ALL
or man for man the sacrifice,
Unstaincd by blood, save theirs, they gave
Thc flowers that biossomcd from their grave
Have sown themselves beneath all skies.

And shattered slavcry's chain rs we'll;
On The sky's dome, rs OH a bell,
It's echo struck The worlds great hour.
That fatcful echo is not dumb:
The nations, listening TO lis sound,
Wait, from ccnturys vantage ground,
The holicr triumphs yet TO come
The bridal time Of Law and Love,
The gladncss of the worlds release,
When, war.sick, ut the feet Of Peace
The hawk shall nestle with the dove
The golden age Of brotherhood,
Unknown to other rivalrlcs

When closer strand shall lean To strand
Till meet, beneath saluting flags,
The eagle Of our mountain crngs,
The lion OF our Mothcr-land.

Curious French Habits.

Travellers in France are often puzzled
by the curious habits of the country.
The people are very social and kind
hearted, and polite in many ways, but
they seldom invite foreign visitors to a
meal. That is not their way OF showing
friendship.
When they show special attentions,
and invite to dinner, visitors arc per
picked by the curious order and kinds of
dishes. Meat comes on the table with
out potatoes, and after the meat is re-
moved, green peas and salad are served
as separate course. Knives and forks
are not changed until the dessert appears,
and are sometimes kept through the en-
tire meal The strong black coffee ut the
close, without either sugar or cream, is
rarely palatable to ladies. To complete
the bewlderment of guests, the lady of
the house will often excuse herself after
dinner and 20 out for Il promenade.
Chambers Journal gives an amusing ac-
count of some Scotch ladies visiting
Paris-very prim and precise, who, after
passing through an experience of this
kind, concluded that the French bad no
taste in table arrangements, and no good
manners towards guests. They forgot to
make allowances for differences in
national customs
