ENENIEs--Have you enemies? Go
straight on, and mind them not. II
they block up your path walk around
them, and do your duty regardless Of
their spite. A man who has no ene-
mics is seldom good for anything; he
IS made of that kind of material which
is so easily worked, that everybody has
hand in it. A sterling character, one
who thinks for himself, and speaks
what he thinks, is always sure to have
enemies. They are as necessary to
him as fresh air; they keep him alive
and active. A celebrated character,
who was surrounded with enemies,
used to remark: 'They are sparks
which, if you do not blow, will go out
of themselves" -Let this be your feel
ing while endeavoring live down the
scandal Of those who are bitter against
you. IF you stop to dispute, you do
but as they desire, and open the way
for more abuse. Let the poor fellows
talk; there will be reaction if you
perform but your duty, and hundreds
who were once alienated from you will
flock to you and acknowledge their
error.-Ale10nder's Messenger.

No CoURrIN' ALLoWED.-The
drudgery of the school-room may drive
the schoolmistresses of England and
Wisconsin into insanity and suicide. but
the Canadian teachers thrive and grow
fat on it. One of the big shool-boys of
the Dominion asked his teacher one
night if he could escort her to- singing
school, but she politely declined the
offer. He neglected his studies, ran
away from school, and put pins into his
schoolmates. She finally lost patience
and gave him f1ogging. The boy told
his father that the fair one whom he had
cosrted had turned and whipped him.
The indignant parent sued the teacher
and obtained a Judgment for $3.50,
which she paid, The next morning she
remarked to her scholars: II have
whipped one BOBBY soundly, which
pleasure cost only $3.50. Now, if any
any Of my scholras are inclined to imi-
tate him, they will have the kindness to
step forward, receive the money and
the hogging, and then we will go ON
with our studies. I am here to instruct
you, not to be courted." Nervousness
will never kill off so plucky school
mistress.

DUCK-SHoorING EXTRAORDINARY.

DUcK-SHooTING EXTRAORDINARY.
Those duck-hunters have returned.
Our friend Smith interviewed one Of
them. Saidhe:
AN awful storm arose, and so fierce
that 1t drove all the ducks in the sound
into a pond covering about an acre. In
fact SO many ducks crowded INTO the
pond that l could not see a drop of
water
'sho,' says Smith, didn't you shoot
any of 'em?'
That's what I was coming at. I
discharged both barrels right into the
midst of them, but to my establishment
they arose into the air leaving not a
solitary duck in the pond.'
Good gracious! You don't say so,
says Smith. Didn't you have any
shot in your gun, or what in thunder
was the matter?'
Well, 1 was coming at that. 1t
astonished me first, but as soon as the
ducks arose a few hundred yards in the
air, and commenced to separate little
ducks began to drop, and whether you
believe it or not l picked up twenty
nine barrels full, and it was poor
season for ducks, too. You see the
ducks were wedged in soldid on the
pond, and when they arose they carried
the dead ones with them, and when
they separated down came the twenty
nine barrels of dead ducks
And Smith walked away with a
thoughtful air.

4 Quaker.s Letter to His Matchmaker.

/ herewith send thee my pocket
clock, which standeth in need of thy
friendly correction. The last time he
was at thy friendly school, he was in
no way reformed, nor in the least
benefited thereby; for I perceive by
the index of his mind that he is a liar,
and the truth is not in him that his
pulse is sometimes slow. which be-
tokenth not an even temper; at other
times, it waxeth sluggish, notwith-
standing, I frequently urged him; when
he should be on his dut y, as thou
knoweth his usual hand denoteth, l
find him slumbering, or, as the vanity
Of human reason phrases it, 1 catch
him mapping. Examine him, there
fore, and prove him, beseech thee,
thoroughly, that thou mayest, being
we'll acquainted with his inward frame
and disposition, draw him from the
error of his way, and show him the
path wherein he should go. 1t grieves
me to think, and when 1 ponder therein
I am verify of the opinion that his body
is foul, and the whole mass is corrupted.
Cleanse him, therefore, with thy charm
ing physic, from all pollution, that he
may vibrate and circulate according to
the truth. I will place him for few
days under thy care, and pay his board
as thou requirest. I entreat thee,
friend John, to demean thyself on this
occasion with judgment, according to the
gift which is in thee, and prove thyself
a workman ; and when thou layest thy
correcting hand upon him, let it be
without passion, lest thou shouldest
drive him to destruction. Do thou
regulate his motion, for time to come,
by the motion of light that ruleth the
day; and when thou fndeth him
converteth from the error of his ways
and more comfortable to the above
mentioned rules, then do thoa send him
home with just bill Of charges drawn
out in the spirit of moderation, and it
shall be sent to thee in the root of all
evil.

Dickey, died in New York on Tues
day, suffering all the agoniss of
hydrophobla. He had been bitten
about new year by cat with which
he was playing. The wound healed
and nothing was thought of it at the
time. There is reason to believe
another man died from bite by the
same cat, and it is known that
horse was bitten by i. and was
among its victims. Another victim
from the bite of a mad dog in New

Advertising Rates:
Married Life.

Good counsel from wife and mother:
II try to make myself and all around
me agreeable. 1t will not do to leave
man to himself till he comes to you, to
take no pains to attract him or to APP
pear before him, with long face. 1t
is not SO difficult as you think, dear
child, to behave to a husband SO that
he shall remain forever in some meas
ure loyer. 1 am an old woman, but
you can still do as you like; word
from you at the right time will not fail
of its effect; what need have you to
play the suffering virtue? The tear of
a loving girl says an old book, is like a
dew-drop on rose; but taat on the
cheek ola wife is drop of poison to
her husband. Try to appear cheerful
and contented, and your husband will
be so and when you make him happy,
you will become so, not in appearance,
but in reality. The skill required is not
so great. Nothing fatters man so
much as the happiness of his wife ; he
is always proud of himself as the source
of it. As soon as you are cheerful you
will be lively and alert, and every
moment will afford you an opportunity
to let fall an agreeable word. Your
education, which gives you an immense
advantage, will greatly assist you; and
your sensibility will become the noblest
gift that nature has bestowed on you,
when it shows itself in affectionate
assiduity, and stamps on every action
soft, kind and tender, character, instead
of wasting itself in secret repinings."
