WHIPPED HIM.-There was no anger
in his voice and no manifest excitement
in his department. He spoke very gent
ly to the young man and he said: 81
want to see you just moment. Come
this way" The young man followed
submissively and unsuspectingly to the
stable. Continued the first speaker,
"You had one of my horses on Sunday !;
you drove three times the distance
agreed upon and you abused the ami
NAL shockingly." The young man al
lowed that it was so. ''Now the law
does not protect me. I've been served
this way several times and 1 have re-
corded an oath to fog all offenders like
you. Take off your coat" The young
man was very sad and suggested that
the speaker didn't mean what he said.
The speaker, however, was in earnest.
He assisted the young man in the re-
moval of his outer garment; he hung it
carefully upon harness peg, and after
placing the youth in the middle of the
stable floor between the offender and the
outside door and with new whip caus-
ed him to dance, jump the juber and
howl for mercy right merrily. "That's
all right now," said the stable-keeper
in the same mild manner in which he
opened the private court. "Allow me
to assist you to put on your coat" He
assisted him with great politeness, dust
his clothing with corn broom and said !:
"When you want to hire team come
to me. You may CO." The young
fellow went.

for the daughter if papa call for and
praises her efforts It Is strange that
with such sweet companionship, such
pure affection, such unselfsh enjoyment,
such natural happiness. as may be had
with the children, men do not give
more time to their homes. We hardly
need say that man should set the ex-
ample for the family in patience, cheer
fulness, courtesy, forbearance, and all
the amiable moods and graces that are
the soul of home happiness. The sort
of men who display all their suavity
and politeness on the street, at their
business places, and save the storms
and sulks, and sourness, and all the
evil brood of devilish dispositions that
they characterize by the convenient
euphemism of "moods" s"-well, we have
our opinion of them! and if they will
come within range we don't mind ex-
pressing it privately; but we're afraid
it wouldn't look we'll in print. They
don't deserve home, and no man does
who will do nothing to make it. For
mans rights do not include the right to
all the comforts of home without any
of the worry, or self-sacrifce, or thought

creation and maintenance. A good

a place for the home; to complete it the

THE MOTHER AND HER FAMILY.

Philosophy is rarely found. The
most perfect sample ever met was an
old woman, who was apparently the
poorest snd the most forlorn Of the hu-
man species SO true is the maxim which
all profess to believe, and none act upon
VIZ: that all happiness does not depend
on outward circumstances. The wise
woman to wiom [ have alluded walks
to Bosten, q distance of twenty or thirty
miles, to sci bag of brown thread and
stockings, and then patiently walks
back again with her little gains. Her
dress. tough tidy, is grotesque col

the extreme.
.Eiy didn't you come down in a
wagon ?" said I. when 1 observed she
was weary with her long journey.
'We haven't got any horse" she re-
piled; "the neighbors are very kind to
me, but they can't spare their'n, and it
would cost as much to hire one as all
my thread will come to-"
"Ycu have a husband-didu't he do
anything for you?"
"He is good mamie does all be
can, but he's cripple and an invalid.
He reels my yarn, and mends the chill
dren's shoes. He's as kind husband
as woman need to have"
'Brt his being cripple is heavy

LERWICK, SHETLAND.

On the hillside rising from the north
shore lie the clustering houses of the
town of Lerwick. Like the towns of
the Orkney Islands, it is curious jum-
bling together of low. gable-roofed, small
windowed houses. The general air of
the place savors of the Low Countries
towns. The short-skirted women, with
white frilled caps, heavy clothes, and
often wooden shoes, almost astonish one
when they speak English instead of
Dutch. Over the winding, crooked street
with the great paving-stones the verita-
BILE Shetland ponies clatter along, and
the carts numbering behind them make
dull rumbling. 1t is on market days
that Lerwick dons her holiday dress.
The little quays, privately owned, and
jutting out into the waters of the bay,
are alive with men, women, and chill
dren. 1t is the custom on such days
for people of the neighboring islands to
enter their boats, and, with their cargo
of peat set sail for the town. Often
there will be great numbers of these
well-laden boats entering the harbor,
and swarming around the piers like
bees about hive. The women leap
from the boats, and singing the basket
of peat over their shoulders, start off for
the nearest shop, that they may barter
for this and the other. The men, left
behind. clothed in rough tarpaulins and
odd homespun clothes, lazily fasten
their boats, and pass the news with their
from seaward. From the central part
of the island-from the regions of soli-
tude and peat-bogs-numberless troops
come winding over the hill behind the
town, down the slope, to the market
place. 1t is quaint sight to watch
them. The little ponies, shaggy of
name, and with long, handsome tails,
are heavy burdened. They have no
bride, only string about their neck;
on their backs are pack-saddles, often
so covered with bags of peat. or perhaps
grass, that the pony is scarcely to be
seen at all. If by chance, after all the
goods are crowded upon the docile ami
malls back, one small portion of the
rump appears, the good woman, his mas
master, leaps lightly on, and away goes
pony, bags, and woman to the town be-
yond. When this collection of ponies,
men, women, and children is seen TO-
gether, the sight is very picturesque.
All look so odd, are so animated. that
one long remembers it. After the days
trading is over, away 60 the boat-loads.
singing and laughing, the women pull
ing the stronger oar. Over the hill the
long file of ponies and riders wend their
way homeward.-Eda0ard Roberts, in
Hayper's Magazine of July.
