pale and delicate to be called interesting-when
she must he totally ignorant OF all practical
knowledge to be refined aud high-bred-when
she must knox nothing Of the current political

1t is not sign Of high birth or refinement to
be siekly or ignorant. Tho.e who affect any
thing Of the kind are behind the tines, and
must shake mp and air themselves mentally, or
drop under the firm strides Of common ideas
and be crushed into utter in-.guificance. In
these days the active, rOsy-faced girl, with brain

lust a. quick to forgive whose feet can run Gs
fast az her tongue and not put her out Of
breath who is not afraid Of freckles, or to
breathe the pure air Of Heaven unreztrained by
the drawn curtains Of cose carriage and,
above all who can speak her mind and give her
opinion on imports Mt topics which interest in
telligent people, is the true girl who will make
good woman. This is the girl who wins in
these days Even fops and daudes, who
strongly oppose womcn's rights like woman
who can talk we'll II she is not handsome.
They weary Of the most beautiful creature, if

the Ward in Council, the two members of a sin

min as one Of the very best Democratic members
of Council, and we have no small confidence in
his disposition to do what is right but to choose
his partner to sit with him, also, would be GER

A Good Thing,

Somebody has invented rubber shoe for horses, designed as substitute for the iron shoe, and as a means of pre- venting the many maladies to which horses' feet are subject. It is even claimed thathorses suffering with cracked or contracted hoof, and similar painful hurts, are quickly cured by the substitu- tion of the rubber covering for the un- yielding metal. The elasticity of the former allows the hoof to remain in its natural state or shape, while protected from abrasion against pavements by the heavy rubber sole, beneath As com pared with iron shoes, the cost of the rubber ones is stated to be, about one third more, and their weight is some
 forty per cent, less. Owing to the na- ture of the material, the most accurate fits may be obtained, and, in respect to
 wear, the quality of the rubber used is intended to be such as will insure very great durability. .' ,-' ......'. ''.@',

A Valuable Institution.

"The Fraternity, . is the name given to an unostentatious but valuable institu- tion in Salem, Massachusetts. Similar charities are established in many cities, but ''The Fraternity" has some features peculiar to itself The boys of the streets are invited to come to the well-lighted, warm and comfortable rooms of this es- tablishment and enjoy themselves. They may talk, play at games, read, listen to music, or, If they choose, be instructed in the rudiments of education, or even in more advanced studies. The main room IS devoted to amusements, being fur n1shed with small tables and chairs. A lady directress sits in this room and gives out the checkers, dominoes, puzzles, or whatever articles are required for the games, all gambling games being pro- hibited. Adjoining this room is a read ng-room amply provided with news papers and magazines, and connected with 1t IS Q library of about 1,5OO volumes. These books are loaned to the boys, and it is noteworthy fact that out of the large number taken out not more than half dozen have been lost, although no other pie 1ge is exacted for their re- turn than the name and residence of the
 
 voted to Instruction. | Sometimes an amusing or instructive lecture is given, suited to the tastes and capacities of the audience. The boys go and come as they please. All that is required of them is to behave as well as they can. And it is remarkable what restraint they main tain, how clean and tidy they try to make themselves, and how much comfort and enjoyment they seem to take in the arrangements made for them. Although the evening visitors vary from two to six hundred, seldom is any boy sent away for misconduct. Hlany excitement oc- CUTS, few persuasive words from the directress is sufficient to quiet it. Girls are allowed the privileges of the library, and recently suggestion has been made that an amusement room should be pro- vided for them also. Institutions similar to "The Fraternity" may we'll be multiplied. Pleasant occupation in cheerful rooms will keep street boys from mischief, from crime, and from prison.,

A Cure for Diphtheria.

A correspondent says: Take flat tfon and heat it a little on the stove; on this apply a very little pitch (not gas) tar, have the iron hot enough to make a good smoke. Then let the patient take into his mouth the small end of funnel, and have the smoke blown through the funnel into his mouth, Let the smoke be inhaled we'll into the throat for a few minutes five or six times day. In very bad cases, it might be well to use it oftener. After this, let the patient lie on his back then break up small pieces of ice and put them into his mouth, and let them go as far down to the roots of the tongue as possible. When they have dissolved, put in some more; this will keep down the inflammation.

On the eastern shore of the Isle of Wight, in the picturesque little village attractions of it's cline and cascade), is a pretty rustic fountain, ornamented with metallic shield, on which is painted at the top, an American eagle, and below, the American and English flags SUP rounding the following lines, written by the poet Longfellow, at the request of the villagers, while he was on visit to Shanklin, in the year 1868:
 mO, trayeler, stay thy weary feet; -..
 Drink of this fountain, pure and sweet;
 It flows for rich and poor the same;
 Then go thy way remembering still
 The wayside we'll beneath the hill,
 The cup of water in his name."

The Wrong Woman.

It IS not always well to cause woman to be arrested in the street simply be- cause you believe her to be the same woman who may have stolen what you missed from your shop several days be- fore; and the Paris shopkeeper, who had caused the arrest of lady in the street. reflected this probably as he quailed before her fierce indignation at the police station and saw suits for. dam ages looming in his minds eye, Horatio. But just as they were about to dismif s her some one noted piece of silk hidden under her shawl, and in five minutes she confessed herself a regular shoplifter.

Modern Women.

1t IS sad commentary upon our boasted civilization that the women of our times have degenerated in health and physique until they are literally race of invalids-pale, nervous,
 feeble and backachy, with only here and there few noble exceptions ill the persons of the robust, buxom ladies characteristic of the sex in days gone by. By very large experience, covering period of years, and embracing the treatment of many thousands of cases of those ailments peculiar to women, Dr. Pierce, of the Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y., has per fected, by the combination of certain vegaeable extracts, 8 natural specific which he does not extol as 8 cure-alL but one which admirably fulflls a singleness of purpose, being most positive and reliable remedy for those weak noeses and complaints that affiict the women of present day. This natural specific compound IS called Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
 The following are among those diseases in cures as if by magic and with certainty never before attained by any medicines Weak back,
 nervous and general debility, falling and other dsplacements of internal organs, resulting from debility and lack of strength in natural supports, internal fever congestion, in1amma- tion and ulceration and very many other chronic diseases incident to women, not proper to men, ton here, in which, as well as in the cases that have been enumerated, the Favorite Prescrip- tioA effects eures-the marvel of the world. It will not do harm in any state or condition of the system, and by adopting it's use the invalid lady may avoid the severest of ordeals- the consulting, of family physician. Favorite Prescription is sold by dealers in medicines generally.-Cona. .-z-. .fr.--s .,>..
