A wELL.KNowN manufacturer gave a
commission to young and rising artist,
on the strength of the fame achieved by a
clever picture in last years academy. "a,

picture was painted, and the manufactur-
er called to see it. "Yes, it seems all
right, what is the pricel' The artist re-
piled, that, considering his time, etc, he
must ask two hundred and fifty guineas
The manufacturers countenance fell, as
he said 1.-TWO hundred and fifty2 Why,I

hasn't cost me five hundred or more 7"
The artist said nothing, but thought lots.
He will give his thoughts expression if
he gets another commission from the
same patron.

THE BIGGEST HORRIBLE you want to
be effective in presenting an enforcing
truth, says the Susddy School Times, use
illustrations that both you aud your
hearers are familiar with:
1t was on one of the trains of the
Vermont Central Railroad, leading into
the White Mountain region. Runners
from the various mountain hotels were
cauvassing the passengers for boarders.
As one of them waxed eloquent over the
attractions of the house he represented,
in his conversation with two undecided
travellers, he wound up his description
with this emphatic declaration:
II tell yer, gentlemen, the - House
is the gran me-nadg-ge-ry of the mount
aims, an ev'rythin' else is side shows"
There was an illustration which was in
telligible and to the point. TO the aver
age New Englander it was as expressive
as it was forcible.

A SCoTCH farmer once took his wife
to see the wonder of the microscope.
The various curiosities seemed to please
the woman very well, till the animalcul@

poor Janet not so very pleasant sight
as the others. She sat patiently, however,
till the "water tigers" magnitied to the
size OF twelve feet, appeared on the sheet,
fighting with their usual ferocity. Janet
now rose in great trepidation, and cried
to her husband, "COme AVA, john

ONE great error Of our moral teaching
lies in the fact that there is too much
Don't to it, and not enough DO. We bid
our children not to do this and that; we
do not always tell them what they may
do, We tell the inebriate not to 90 here,
and there; but we do not, as a general
thing, give him place where he can GO.
We bid the young avoid the light, warm,
CHEEKY saloon; butwe give only the curb
stone, or his own dim, chilly, uncomfort-
able room.

THIS bitof precocity came under the OBJ
servation OF friend out West, who send.
it to the Interior. May P, of
Omaha, bright little girl of some five
or six summers accustomed, when at
table, to being "lifted higher" with a
copy of Webster's Unabridged, was
spending few days with friends in
Chicago, and stopping at one of the large
hotels of the city. At her first meal the
dusky waiter, with due ceremony and
kind politeness seated her on an ordi.
nary chair, and placed before her the
bill of fare. The little miss ran her eye
up and down the formidable array of
names, then turned to the attendant and,
with the dignity of q maturer mind
graphing with some weighty subject, in
an lmperious manner and tone exclaimed,
"Please bring me dictionary"

CONDENSED food for horses, the manu-
facture of which has lately been begun
in Russia, gives entire satisfaction, ac-
cording to the Journal of st. Petersburg.
1t is composed of crushed oats, gray-pea
flour, hemp-seed oil and salt. The paste
is cut into thick cakes four inches in di-
ameter, weighing, when dry, one pound
each. These are perforated with small
holes to increase the effect of soaking
them in water, and baked in an oven.
They are then stored in boxes with a
powdering of bran between the layers.
When prepared for use, four of them,
which are equal in nutriment to ten
pounds of oats, are strung on wire and
constitute ration for a horse. They are
eaten greedily either dry or stepped, and
though the animal grows thinner, when
fed on them exclusively, yet they lose
none of their vigor even when working
hard. This provender is very convenient
for transportation, and by means of it
the surplus products of one year can be
economically preserved until seasons of
greater scarcity.

The BIRDS OF PARADIsE.-When the
Portuguese discovered the Molucca Is
lands they found there dried birds skins
of so beautiful and strange an appearance
as to call forth the admiration of those
gold-seeking navigators. The Malay
dealers called them Manuk- Dewata, or
Birds of the Gods" which was trans
lated by the Portuguese as Passaras da
Sol. The Mohammedan conquerors of
that country invented the legend that
these birds, which no one had seen alive,
came from Paradise, that they lived ex-
clusively in the air and never alighted on
the earth. Speculation added to this
story that these birds had neither feet nor
WINGS and the dried skins brought to
Europe strengthened this belief, as the
wings and feet were really wanting, hav-
ing been removed by the natives. $he
birds of Paradise are very lively and
continually in motion. Their voice
sounds like long "wak, wax" or "wok,
wok," and can be heard long distance.
1t is not known how they build their
nests They live on fruits and insects

The case was tried, and the jury y,
turned a verdict OF five hundred dollars

Tobcy's lawyers moved the Sdprcme
Court OF Massachusetts for AL arrest Of
Judgment, because the uords were not
slanderous in themselves, 1t not being 40
offence for man simply 60 burn his own
store.
The Court decided, Chief-Justice Paf-
sons giving its opinion, that simply to
burn ones own store is not unlawful
when not accompanied by an injury t d,
or by desire to injure some other per-
son. Therefore to charge man with
burning his own store is not slanderous,
for it does not charge him with a crimi-
nal offence.
IfTobey had said-such is the reason.
ing of the court-that Bloss burnt his
own store with the intention of getting
the insurance on the goods, such woros
would have charged him with criminal
offence, and would have been slandsrous.
The judgment was therefore set aside,
and Mr.. Bryant, so it is said, was so dis
gusted with the law, which by techni-
cality, deprived his client Of a remedy
for a SANDER, that he gave up his profes-
sion. Those of our readers who are law
yers will find the case Of Bloss VS.. Tobey

The Canadian courts are severely down
upon trades-union. A very important case
has just been decided at Montreal, that of
Valin against the Stone-cutters' Union of
Montreal. Plaintiff alleged that at his
trade he could make from $3.50 to s. a
day, but that in December, 1875, the union
by black'listing the employers who gave
him work, drove him out of occupalien
The Court, a very cautious and learned
Judge, Mr.. Justice Torrance, delivering
the judgment, gave him $500 damages and
costs, which, as there were several LAWYERS
engaged, all men of professional proui-
nence, will unquestionsbly make the totsl
a very demDitisn total for the thirty.eight
members Of the union. This civil resourse.
in conjunction with the penalties of the
Trades Conspiracy act, will probably make
unions in Canada much more cautious in
their disciplining of independent artisans
or employers.

sABpArm OBSERVANCE.

1ABBATW OBoERvANOE.
A very we'll timed and able article on
this subject appeared in the London Sat-
urday Review, and re-published by the
Evening Telegraph. The latter journal
describes the article thus:
ut is p'unprejudiced, impartial pre-
sentiment of the case, written without par
tisan bias. It's chief interest, indeed, is in
its historical review Of the question. The
word Of the Review is not needed to assure
US that the sabbatarian tradition is of COM
paratively recent date, but tits we'll enough
to remember that fact in such discussions
as current events have opened. This arbi.
trary Observance of q Sabbath which is not
the Sabbath at all may have its good ef-
undoubtedly does have them in
many ways-but it should not blind peo-
pie to the whole truth, nor make them 10.
tolerant Of opposing opinion. The sabba-
tartan view of Sunday has no warrant
either in the Old or New Testament; it is
simply Puritan observance, and has been
recognized only since the seventeenth cen
tury. A set of austere churchmen made
the rule which has been sternly laid on
the shoulders Of many generations of men
as something partakipg Of the nature Of a
direct ordinance from God, but a slight
investigation serves to give the rights Of
the matter. 1t is to be observed that moth
ing in this dispute initiates against true
and earnest religious feeling.
Man notes the wonders of the Almighty
hand, and bows in reverence before the
countless manifestations of the Divine will,
on Sunday and other days alike. So, too,
it is every way proper and necessary to
have one way of the seven set apart for
purposes Of rest and Of closer communion
Of man with his Maker;-but that com
munion can be had in various improving
ways, and is by no means confined to the
Puritanic formula. Goodness, cheerful>
ness, the gain Of health through which
the welfare Of dependent begins is assured
these things we may be sure are a.
pleasing to God as the more formal and
Strengthened processes which we call "wor>
ship" God knows the heart If that is
honest and generous, and overdowing with
goodwill for our fellows, there is an un>
conscious but ;ruer worship of the Maker
than lip service can offer. And we would
have men 60 to church also, when everit
seems best, and whenever they are truth
fully led there. We only protest against
sham and pretense in our church-goipp
and against the restrictions which a GER
tain narrow class Of church>goers would
throw about the larger outside class. The
church within walls is very small, and
must remain always very small, part Of
the whole body of Gods worshippers, and
no man should say that because his fellow
does not show the religious spirit in the
same manner as himself that therefore he
is any less close to the Divine mind. The
Golden Rules covers all.
