Master and Man.

The London Hornet has the following
"What the master says is law; what the
servant says is impertinence. What the
master does is right; what the servant
does is wrong. The master never gets
intoxicated-he is merely elevated; the
servant always becomes drunk. The
master must have q holiday every few
days; the servant never requires one.
The master cannot wait for his break
fast, but the servant can. 1t is sinful for
the master. but not for the servant, to
work on Sundays. Ii the master kicks
his servant, it is proper chastisement; if
the servant retaliates, he is ferocious
brute. The master may read the news
papers-by so doing he improves his
mind; but the servant may not do SO, as
it is waste Of time Champagne is fit
for masters, and table-beer for servants.
Masters may have feelings, but servants
may not. Masters may break wine
glass by accident, but servants may not
do so without exposing themselves to the
charge of criminal carelessness. A mas
ter may use bad language-he only be-
comes excited; servant who uses words
Of an unusually emphatic character is a
most depraved fellow"

A Sad Sight.

A correspondent of the St. Louis Re-
publican says, in writing of visit to a
private lunatic asylum: Several OF the
inmates walked about in the large yard,
and down one walk quantity of water
had been run in and it had made a
splendid slide Well wrapped up in nit
tens and furs there was the aged TOther
OF the two ladies had accompanied, 60
ing down that slide in ten year-Old style,
and hanging en- by the fence, crawling
back and taking her place behind girl
of sixteen, to have slide when her turn
came. Down sat my two friends and be-
gan to cry. % mother, motherp sobbed
the younger, L do believe you'll
break my hearth I'm not hard hearted,
but for the life of me if the tears came
as looked on the two daughters, the
laugh came quick enough as / saw the
old lady. She took little short run,
she sailed up with that inevitable hop
all women take when they slide, and she
went down the ice as stiff as poker,
with her mouth wide open, and plunged
into the snow bank at the foot of the
yard Then she clambered up and blew
her fingers, put on her red mittens and
toiled back, hugging the fence, laughing
with much glee at the downfall of an
other skater. 1t was no crying matter to
me. And magnificent prospect would
open up before us women if we knew
that at fifty-five or sixty we were going
to be coasting down-hill, and buckle
berrying our old age away in mittens and
sun-bonnet."
