Boston, a short time ago, took her
scat in the drawing car, the only
occupants of which were two gentle
men. ne was smoking; the other
held fresh and unIighted cigar just
ready to apply the match. The fair
traveller did not like the Odor Of
smoke, and calmly remarked aloud
thnt this was tue drawing room car,
and they would please find the smok-
ing car forward, for the smoke was
very otft nsive to her. The ger tiemen
removed the obnoxious weeds, but
looked extremely serious about it,
and had "a word or two with the COL
ductur when that functiOnary entered.
H. mildly requested the lady to It p
iato another car, but she WAS comfort
abiy seated and declined to move. By
and by other gentlemen appeared and
addressed the would smoker as

other car. All this is plcturesquely

A New syrInkIe in Voting

Nova Scotia, which furnishes to
commerce grindstones, gypsum, lum-
5es, &c, has lately furnished to poll
;lcs i new idea. It has devils. 4 q new

tes-"d there by actual pract c.. - is
t'Hs described: Upon each lot
VIII be printed the nan OF ali the
candidates. Each one Will bear a diff
ferent color. Thus the ticket will be
strictly non partisan. At each polt
there will be presiding officer, who
viii have charge of the tickets. He
will be provided with only such a num-
ber of ballots as there may be voters
registered at that polling place
AL the tickets viii be officially
stamped, and must be accounted for
by the presiding officers after the elec-
tim. When an elector shows his right
t. vote to the presiding officer he viii
receive a ballot. After marking the
Candidates he opposes, the ballot will
be deposited in the box by the proper
officers. Only the official ballots are
to be recogniz d, and as they will be
in the hand of the official, who has to
account for all tickets given out, the
chances for ballot box stuffing are by
no means fattering. In case of i'm
personation, the defrauded voter may
deposit a rendered vote, and, in case
the election is contested, the latter

III 4 Had Leisure.

'F had leisure, would repair
that weak place in my fence" said a
farmer He had none, however, and
while drinking cider with neighbor,
the COWS broke in and injured prime
piece OF corn. He had leisure then to
repair his fence, but it did not bring
back bis corn.
"lf | had leisure" said wheelright
last Winter, 81 would alter my stove
pipe, for | know it is not safe" But
he did not find time, and when his
shop caught fire, and burned down,
he found leisure to build another.
eff | had leisure said mechanic,
been all occupied, but he was not at
work till after sunrise he quit work
at five o'clock, smoked q cigar after
dinner, and spent two hours on the
street talking nonsense with an idl-
or.
"If | had leisure sud merchant,
II would pay more attention to ac-
counts" The chance is, my friend, if
you had leisure, you would probaly
pay less attention to the matter than
you do now. The thing lacking with
of farmers who till the soil
is, no more leisure, but more resolu.
tion-the spirit to do-to do now. If
the farmer who sees the fence in a
poor condition would only act at once,
how much might be saved

expended thef ingenuity, and racked
their fertile brains in charging 50 ma

the panic which their little adventure
by getting prematurely disclosed
had occasionednecessitated the change
