When Weston walked to Chicago, he
took to ~lecturing on Professionalism.
When Stanley found Livingstone, he
went to lecturing on Africa. When Van
Pelt was converted from saloonatism,
he lcctured on drunkenness and after
ward practiced it. Following the exam
pie of those who have endeavored to
make money out of their transient noto-
riety, the athletic squash OF Amherst
College is now holding ~levees, and this
month is engaged at Horticultural Hall,
Boston. This squash, it will be remem-
bered, lifted nearly 5000 pounds weight
by means of a peculiar mechanical ar
rangement, prepared by President W.
S. Clark, of Amherst College, for the
purpose of demonstrating the power or
growing force of some kinds of vegeta-
bles, in connection with the phenomena
of plant-life. The squash weighs only
fOrty-seven and a quarter pounds, and
it's rind, three inches thick, unusually
hard and compact, and nearly filed with
tibrous tissue. The external appearance
OF the vegetable is very unique, growing
as it did i'll a basket Of strap-iron, firmly
riveted together. The marks between
the bands, which crossed each other Mt
right angles, were about Il inch and a
half square, and impart a very rugged
surface to the squash.

Men are said to be untidier than women.
Zone boy creates more trouble in a
house than three girls a many a
suffering mother. But, after all, she's
to blame tor it; there's no real reason
why ii boy should not form tidy habits.
One of the benefits that the mother of
sons can confer on her sex, and all the
world besides, is to form III them the
habit of putting things in place. This
can be done only by following them
round and requiring them, when they
have done with Il book, to put it back
on the shelf where it belongs; when they
take off their overcoats to hang them on
the rack; when skates are unstrapped or
boots taken off that they be put some
where else besides on the h~earth-rug or
under foot; when slippers are removed
that they at once rest in their appropri-
ate case. The law of habit thus imposed
will gradually extend its domain till it
includes everything the boy handles or
calls his own, and exercises an influence
on all he is and does. In a house inhab-
tied by such men and boys, quitting
things to rights" viii occupy a very brief
daily interval.

HOW I LOST MY HEART.

To tell you just how l lost il,
Oh, that were a difficult task;
How the thing got away on that autumn Day
never stopped to ask.
Perhaps if WIS a glance that did il,
4 soft carese to M hair,
A close warm grasp, or 4 gentle clasp,
That captured it then and there.
You sec, there are things you can govern,
But hearts have a way of their own;
Like birds they fy, and you can't tell why
You only miss them when gone.
And why 1 don't tell the story,
If the reason you really must learn,
Is. though life grew bright with q rosy light.
Yet I Won no heart il return.
Somebody's eyes were gentlr and kind.
And his voice was SOFT au,! low:
But the heart L wanted was given away
Ever 50 long ago.
And so, while l solace a lonely life
With a cat and a cup of tea,
Somebody's arm is round his wife,
And her baby is on his knee.
And the loss met with results in this,
That mine is a lonely part;
You can't for yOur life make d loving wife
OF a woman without a heart.
Another head rests on the manly breast
That l wanted to shelter me:
Som Other far face has won my place,
so no mans wife III he.
But compensatiOn's a law Of life,
And though trials the gods Will send.
I've no one to sc0ld when his bcefstcak's cold
And no small stockings to mend.
SO the love that is lost | never regret,
When l think what my troubles might be
When dinner is late l smile at Fate,
And nobody storms At me.

Il BLUSDERS.

A slip of grammar in n recent number
of the atlantic Monthly has revived the
discussion as to the necessity OF a new
personal pronoun singular that Will do
for either sex. The atlantic permitted
itself to say: eve would rather set a boy
or girl upon some II poet nearest akin to
their mental aptitude" Now this pecu-
liar blunder is very frequent. If only
occasionally found i'll the best writings,
it is because the proof-reader ~interposes
his correction before the sentence reaches
the public, for every editor knows how
take; while in the ordinary utterances of
the day it is as common as air. 1t may
be noted in the printed regulations of
almost every car and steamboat, and is
ubiquitous in advertisements and an
nouncements-as, for instance: every
passenger must pay their fare on entering
the car" etc. To avoid this blunder,
either an awkward circumlocutiOn must
be made, such as, every passenger
must pay his or her fare etc, or else
one of the sexes must be boldly ignored.
1t is true that the pronoun of the mascu-
line gender may he used in these cases as
representative of the entire human fam
lily, but the instincts of justice are
stronger than those of grammar, and
hence. the average man would rather
commit Il sOlecism than ungallantly
"squelch the women in this jaunty fash
ion,' as a contemporary forcibly puts it.
Certain writer's assert very decidedly that
ne p~ronouns are needed beyond those we
already possess, but this is simply dog
matte opinion unsupported by the facts.
No matter what pedants may say III the
matter, every man of d~lspasslonate Iud9-
ment must see that if nearly ali the VII
tcrs III the country, learned and I'M
learned, are continually betrayed int a
definite error of grammer, and IN error
which can be avoided III many instances
only by either a clumsy circ'mlocution
or a half statement. there docs exist a
radical defect III the language to cause
ii. 1t will be- said that Englisi-speaking
peoples have managed to get along a
good many centuries with the present
supply of pronouls: and this argument
sounds, no doubt, very conclusive to
some people. 1t is 80 old and ven
cradle an argument that perhaps ii ought
to receive Il little respect; its equivalent
was used when gas, railways, and steam
boats were proposed; and it has at
tempted to bar the way to every improve
ment III our civilization.

We sometimes meet with men who
seem to think that any indulgence in an
affectionate feeling is weak. They will
return from a journey, and greet their
families with a distant dignity, and move
among their children with the cold and
lofty splendor of an iceberg surrounded
by it's broken fragments. There is hardly
a more unnatural sight on earth than
one of these families without a heart. A
father had better extinguish a boys eyes
than take away his heart. Who that has
experienced the joys of friendship, would
not rather lose all that is beautiful III
natures scenery than be robbed Of the
hidden treasures of his heart. Cherish,
then, your hearts best affections. In
dulge IN the warm and gushing emotions
of filial, fraternal love.
