"In consequence Of the injury to the
Sheffield trade by Americas protective du-
ties, representations have been made to Earl
Carnaryon, Secretary for the Colonies, sug-
Costing that heavy import duties beimposed
in retaliation on American produce both in
England and her colonies. TO these repre-

proposal is not one which her Maiesty's
Government could entertain.

whose real self was long ago given to half a
dozen others. 1t is an actual partnership
which has more to do with our prosperity
than any other, and here we find the rea-
son why one OF the parties so often puts in
fraudulent capital. There is not a fash
ionable circle, not town or village, in
which the records of our domestic life do
not bear evidence of the debasing influence
of this authorized universal custom of firta-
ton before marriage and Platonic friend
ship after. Here is the secret of indiffer-
ence of wives and husbands, of their
neglect of their children, of the reckless
excitement by which they try to forget their
bondage, and the divorce and adultery suits
by which they end it.-N. Y. Tribune.

Scene at Brooklyn wedding breakfast: /:
Company all seated about the table. A
pause in the general conversation. Happy
husband, to his wife's seven-year.old sister
at the other end of the room: "Well,
Julie, you have a new brother now."
Julia Yes, but mother said to papa the
other day that she was afraid you would
never amount to much, but that it seemed
to be Sarah's last chance" Intense silence
for moment, followed by rapid play of
knives and forks.

Believe in Yourself.

1t is said when John C. Calhoun was in
Yale College he was ridiculed by his fellow
students for his intense application for
study. "Why, sir" said he, am forced
to make the most of my time that may
acquit myself creditably when in Congress.
Do you doubtit? assure you if I were not
convinced of my ability to reach the
national capital as a representative within
three years, l would leave college this
very day!' Let every young man thus
have faith in himself, and earnestly take
hold of life, scorning all props and but
tresses, all crutches and life preservers.
Let him believe, with Pestalozzi, that no
man on Gods earth is either willing or able
to help any other man. Let him strive to
be creator, rather than to borrow. In
stead of welding the rested sword of
valorous forefathers, let him forge his own
weapons, and conscious of the God in him
and the providence over him, let him fight
his own battle with his own lance. In,
stead of signing for an education, capital,
for friends, and declaring " that if he only
had these, he would be somebody" LET
him remember that, as Horace Greeley
said, he is looking in the wrong end of the
telescope; that if he only were somebody
he would speedily have all the boons whose
absence he is bewailing. Instead of being
one of the foiled potentialities of which
the world is so full-one of the subjunctivt
heroes, who always might, could, would ol
should do great things, is what nobody car
understandable him be in the imperative
mood, and do that of which his talents arr
indicative.
This lesson Of selfreliance once learned
and acted on, and every man will discove
within himself, under God, the element
and capacities of usefulness and honor

Our DAUGHTERs.-Mrs. Rev. DIR. Ter
hume addressed the Women's Christian
Association in session at Pittsburg last
Thursday on "Our Daughters" She put
the old question What shall we do" and
"what can we do to make our daughters
Independent of marriage and home, if
needs be?" She sletched the difficulties
that environ the path of the girl that must
depend on herself for support, and then
made the following suggestions as to educat-
ing tour girl,'' so that we may not fear for
her future
First, we should make of tour girl " a
practical housewife. 1t has been said, by a
man, of course, that no woman who can
make bed, broil beefsteak and make coffee
properly need be troubled about her future
By housewifery she did not mean a mere
prettiness of cakes, jellies and triAes, but {
thorough acquaintance with domestic econo
my.
Secondly, let us begin to teach our pupils
order; the first law of the household, as i
is of Heavep--that rigid ordering of time
and duties, which is better known under
the name of system. Our husbands have
business hours, and SO have washerwomen
but ladies have none.
Thirdly and lastly, we will have he
taught some useful trade, to be selected
with wise regard to her tastes and aptitude
Trade, not accomplishment In the cit!
in which the speaker lived there was
music teacher to every block.

What Smyrnian is it9

The indianapolis Sunday Herald publishes
this article:
He came into this world on the oath day
of July, 1856, and in view of the fact that
hewa Of the male gender his mother called
him Bill" lie was born, not "beneath
the aspect of a bright-eyed STAR" but in
Smyrna, Del, dirty little village of five
hundred inhabitants, where the stars never
shine, and where, owing to the dampness,
bull frogs "make enight hideous" with their
croakings, and dogs fennel grows in the
middle of the streets. At the age of twelve
his infantile mind began to grasp for food,
and his father, deeming him old enough to
indulge in that luxury, provided him with
| slate, books and pencils and started him off
to the village school, which at that time
was located on the corner of Hoboken street
and Pig Tail alley. For a while he got
along swimmingly. But one day, being of
pugilistic turn of mind, he engaged in a
little fistic discussion with one of the boys,
the bone of contention being a mince pie,
made, it is fair to presume, from one of the
village dogs. How long thefght lasted de-
ponent knoweth not. Suffice it to say that
William was licked in a way he despised,
whereupon he threatened to appeal his
case to the teacher. To avoid the result of
an interview with that parsonage his an
togonist compromised the matter by pre-
senting him with fifteen cent copy of
Richard III. This was the turning point
in Billy's life. He read the play and sud-
denly became imbued with the conviction
that he was intended for an actor and an
actor he determined to become at once.
Now, while the youthful aspirant was cred
hot" with the "stage fever" there chanced
to pass through the village of mud stroll
ing band of minstrels, and Billy, thinking
this good chace to carry his purpose into
effect, abandoned the school on the corner
of Hoboken street and "Pig- tail alley"
cQnceled his books in hollow stump, and
took "passage" with the wanderers. From
that until the present time there are many
links missing from the chain of his career,
and of him nothing definitely was known
until he materialized in this city short
time since. When he came to the surface
in the city of concentric circles he engaged
rooms in the Grand Opera Hotel, and it is
within the walls of that building that he
"makes night hideous," with horrible
l disregard for the comfort of both his room
mates, and those around him. At the dead
of night while apparently sleeping the
; calm, sweet sleep of the innocent, he will
suddenly stand up, rub his eyes, and with
a voice like the roaring of the sad sea
waves" shout, a Ia Richard III, "A horse, a
u horser "Bind up my woundsr' This may
u be all right, but there are persons who fail
u to see it in that illumination, and as human
" forbearance has its limits there is liable tc

Frank Beard, the artist, while at dinner
recently, was told of a man in Nassau street
