PoLITENEss IN THE KITCHEN.-The
mistress who arbitrarily commands her
maid, "Mary, do this" or Nellie. attend
to that" must expect that her orders will
be received as disagreeably as she gives
them. But if she politely suggests and
requests, instead of ordering, she has a
right to expect polite and cheerful re-
spouse from her maid. 1t is disagreed
bic for girls to be ordered about it is
equally disagreeable to the mistress to
receive no pleasant answer when she is
giving necessary directions concerning
the work of the house.

The Right not to Smoke.

Seth Hunt, Esq, well-known citizen
of Northampton, Mass, and treasurer OF
the Connecticut River Railroad, in re.
cent letter concerning therights of smok-
ers and non-smokers, writes
"Spurgeon smokes and says there is
no sin in it, He has a right to smoke !;
but there are multitudes Of others (and
am one of them) who do not smoke,
who hate the practice, who are sickened
by it. They have right not to smoke;
and yet Mr. Sturgeon and his fellow
smokers force others to breathe their
smoke, whether offensive or not. Mr..
Spurgeon may think it necessary to take
medicine, He has the right to do so !;
but he should not compel those around
him to swallow poison, every time he
does, There is the rub, in this smoking
custom. The rights of non-smokers are,
as a general rule, invaded by those who
smoke.
Il once took passage on a steamer at
Geneva, Switzerland, in order to sail up
the beautiful lake on which that city
stands. l anticipated much benefit and
pleasure from the pure air and sublime
scenery. After setting sail, | found the
deck, from which alone theair and seem
cry could be enjoyed, thr9pged with
smokers. | hadsmoke in my eyes, smoke
in my nose, smoke in my throat, smoke
in my lungs, smoke in my clothing,
smoke all around me. / viewed the
Alps and Jura mountains through the
haze of tobacco smoke |
deem pure air the food of my lungs and
yet there are men who, while in the very
act of forcing tabacco smoke into my
nostrils, will denounce what they call
laws, meaning the liquor
laws, because they say such laws pre-
scribe what man shall eat and drink.

Caldwell Station Sixty hands were sent from
this place on Monday, to assist in removing the
material and the trains are expected to run
regularly to-day. On Tuesday, freight train

below Woodstock. The engine was badly
damaged and the tender was completely wreck

a severe Earring. The passenger trains met at
the wreck and transferred passengers, each
train returning in the direction from which ii
came, and causing only about an hours delay

stiles. 1. Sin aad Madness from physician
lpoint Of view. s. Church and State in India.
G. Mr.. DsracI It's minister. Z. Edgar Allen
Poe. s. Contemporary Literature.
We are accustomed to find i'll the Iuaftei1ies
epitomes of the lives of eminent lnen recently
deceased. Cities, also. have careers to lie mar
rated; and the The British Quarterly complies
the story of Treves in the same thorough mar
ner in which it, a few numbers back, gave a
picture of Ravenna.
The second article is an attempt to clear up
| some OF the uncertainties of the early part of
Shakespcare's life, AMI especially those sur
sounding the beginning of his literary connec-
ton with the stage.
The paper OH the English Universities urges
the necessity both of financial and educational
reform, points out the inutility of college fell
lowshps, complains Of the religious intolerance
enCes of the universities belong to the nation,
and must be ''fully and impartially restored,
if any scheme OF University reform is TO de-
serve the name"
In the fourth article, our attention is direct
ed to AIauds!ey's recent work on ''Responsi-
hility in Mental Diseases" and in discussing
the physical aspect Of insanity, the reviewer
endeavors to show, that to a great extent it is
in our power to prevent this terrible calamity.
''Church and State in India; notes the prln-
cples upon which the British Government has
hitherto treated the native religions, complains
Of the encouragement Of missionary labors
among the Sepoys, and severely condemns the
system of fostering the enormties of caste.
The sixth article chronicles Mr.. Disraeli's
mistakes, and concludes thath his premiership is
failure, and that his work is done.
Next follows q kindly paper upon Edgar
Allen Poe. refuting many of the ISLANDERS cr
culated by his enemies, and instituting com
parison between him and Nathaniel Haw
thorne.
The number closes with a full record Of
contemporary literature.

The modest public would be particularly OBJ

erected on both sides of the arch bridge on ALI

by drawing the curtain on that part OF the side
show.
