A LITTLE PLEASURE.

How to make country life socially help
full and pleasant in winter, is timely ques-
tion now. Nothing can we'll show much
wider contrast than the present activities
in large towns compared with life as it goes
on in isolated rural places. We think the
plan which has been adopted by some of
the oranges, to organize u little pleasure in
the midst of business. a very sensible one.
innocent rccrcations can hardly find better
auspices than these offered, and it some
thing looking toward culture and mental
entertainment should be added. the result
would be still further fruitful of good. To
our mind. there Is nothing equal to a we'll
arranged debating club or reading circle;
and where paper is edited and read week
ly, the interest excited is usually as edify-
ing rs it is salutary. There is hardly any
country district which cannot be helped in
this way. and it only wants one or two en-
ergctic spirits who shall take the brunt Of
the battle to make any one or all of the
suggested plans successful,

TWO DAYS AND NIGHTS ON A BAR
rpm ROCK.


Three Plymouth (Ens.l residents havo
just encountered experiences which they
will never forget rs long as they live.
On Saturday. Feb. 20, they started in u
boat for u fishing excursion, and in the
course of the afternoon landed on the
Mcwstone, high out. desolate, and barren
rock, five miles from Plymouth. When
they had been ashore half an hour they
their boat had broken adrift and hoatcd
away. The fact that the boat was the only
means of reaching the main land was an
other source Of anxiety. for it also con-
tanned their fishing gear, provisions, and
upper coats. They were thus on an in
hospitable rock without food, shelter, light
or means Of making signals. There they
remained all through the black night, and
next day being Sunday their prospect of
delivcrancc was then very small. Thus,
although exhausted with exposure and fam
shcd with hunger, they had to pass tho
second night on the rock, an the coolest
night there had been for II month, which is
saying good deal. Meanwhile the fami-
les of the amateur fishermen suffered
;rcat anxiety, but no sctrch WAS organized
it WAS not know what direction they had
aiken. On Monday. hogsver. n fishing
