The French Crisis.

The crisis is little less than a revolB.
ton. Appointed Tor seven yearl, Prrsi-
dent MacMahou has hitherto been con-
tent to be little more than the hKure-hssd
! Of the state, like the English monarch.
the one thing permanent which eonnects
the retiring with the incoming admins
tration. We do not deny but that the
President may have a vested right TO dis
miss minister whenever he pleaaee. A
the Queen has the same right to degrade
a prime minister on her mere vhim: but
that is something that could not be done
in England, and Is only less an outrage
in France. The French ministry, one Of
the best which that country has bad, was
very successfully carrying on the govern
ment. Ii had an overwhelming maioritv
am 'ng the deputies. Ii had the full con-
idence Of the country. There was no
constitutional reason or excuse for dis
carding it. There was every reason why
it should be retained.
Every reason but one. It was q gov
ernment of the Left, snd personally the
President belongs tn the Right. II be-
lieved more in liberty than he does more
in the republic and less in the repression
of free thought by force. Such q gov
ernment must not be allowed too much
success. Less than three years remain of
the Marshal's septenDate, and 1t is time
for the legitimists and royalists and i'm
perialists to he preparing tor the conclu-
sion of the term. The longer a govern
ment heartily in sympathy with the re-
public remains in power the more the peo-
nj will Craf m ha nnnfanfod NTH -
this reason the President has suppressed
it, and in doing so has proved himself the
enemy of the republic.
1t is not at all improbable that, as re-
ported, UltramOntane intrigues have had
good deal to do with this act of Mac
Mahon's. The bishops have been bitterly
hostile to Simon's ministry and to the
policy of NJ. Waddington, the minister of
instruction and public worship. They
are always reactionary and it appears to
be the opinion, both in Berlin and Rome,
that it is an UltramontIne victory.
The result cannot be awaited without
very considerable anxiety. The new gov
ernment, presided over by the Due de
BrOglie, is already busily engaged in the
most repreSsive measures. All over

removed, and reactionsry men are put in
their places. These men are expected,
when there shall be a new election for
deputies, to see to it that the Left gets no
fsvors. Already they are required not to
allow the protest of the majority of the,
deputies of the country to be posted up
in their departments, where the people
can read them; and newspapers will be
forbidden to speak i'll of the usurpers.
There must be great calmness and mod
Grafton required to submit to these re-
strictive measures, whose object is to pre-
vent France from expressing its mind at
the polls. But the Left has thus far
shown great wisdom and we do not think
that they will be led into any violent
measures. But meanwhile France be-
comes an utter nullity in continental pol
itics.-NssO York Independent.

ONE of the pretty girls at an evening
reception in Providence, R. l., last week
wore an antique bracelet, the gift of a
New York gentleman to whom she was
betrothed. 1t was an heirloom of his
family, and had been brought from Hol-
land, he said, and she said it after him.
A New York lady who happened to be
present said that it looked like her aunt's
bracelet, which had been taken from her
in the lobby of a metropolitan theatre
The accepted suitor was asked whether
the bracelet did not inclose a picture
YES" he said, "that of my sister" my
snnt's," said the lady, contained Miss
Cary's picture. The bracelet was opened
there was Miss Cary's picture.

A RATHER seedy-looking individual
came into a Detroit shipping Office the
other day and stood around with an aim
less and uncertain air for few minutes.
Finally of the firm noticed him, aud
coDjesturing his errsnd said, "No, sir,
we don't want any lead pencils or the
Life of Christ. to-day. Couldn't buy
them. Nor psin-killer either; nor shoe-
laces. We've bought matches until the
closet is full of 'em. If we used some
patent soap on our collars it would dis
grace the rest of our coats. And finally,
we don't ever get our silk hats fixed up,
We use them for cushions"
The other members of the firm and the
clerks wore grins on their countenances,
and the caller seemed nOnplussed. But
he shook himself and gathered his shiny,
threadbare coat about him, and shrugged
his shoulders, and as he opened the door
to. go out he remarked in low, quiet
tones: "All right; 1 just called in to
pay you freight bill that has been run
ming since last summer. I'll call again,
perhapS."
The door closed softly after him, and q
stiffness like that of Sabbath morn pre-
vsded the ofice.-Detroit Free PreSS.

Editor and Proprietor
Retrospect.

Oh! to 20 back in our lives,
To live them over again,
knowing all that now We know,
Seeing all We saw not then.
OH TO refrain from speaking
Where that hasty word was said
Oh! but TO break that silence
Which weighs on our hearts like lead
Oh! but to iarry once more
At that point where two roads met
And choose as we chose not then,
Made wise by a life's regret
Oh! but to set out afresh
With some who from earth are fed,
Now we've read them by the radiance
Death sheds around the dead!
Thus cry we now and again
In words of remorseful pain,
Yet deep in our heart Of hearts
Thank God that the prayer is vain.

Care Of the Eyes.

If the eyes fail through overwork, anx-
iety of mind, or debility-from whatever
cause-perfect rest, tonics, sea air and
cold bathing become imperative, if total
blindness is to be averted. Long pOring
over books and papers, especially in the
dusk or by gaslight, will, in process of
time, weaken the strongest eyes in the
world. This is more especially to be
avoided if you are at all near-sighted.
Many people complain of fatigue in the
eyes, or weakness of sight; they cannot
read or write for any length of time
without the page becoming indistinct
and the letters running into each other
These are symptoms which can be re-
moved by attention to the general health,
rest, tonics, and frequently (three or four
times a day., bathing the forehead and
eyes with cold water. But never neglect
them. Cold bathing to the whole body
every day-making habit of it in fact
-is grand conservation of sight. For
this purpose, if the person can bear it,
the shower bath is the best. But in taxi
ing plunge bath, always dash q little
water in the face first, then spring bodily
in; don't take the water a toe at time.
When your eyes are at all weak, never
work or read in the twilight, and never
go out in very bright sunshine, especially
if the ground is covered with snow.
Regular living, temperance, a sufficient
amount of both bodily and mental exer-
else, early hours and the bath, are the
chief preservative of the eyesight.

A BRAVE MoNrrNEeR1N WOMAN

A BRAVE MONTENEeRIN WOMAN
Mr.. Gladstone writes: "a sister and four
brothers, the four of course all armed,
are making pilgrimage or excursion to
a church. The state of war with the
Turk being normal, we need not wonder
when we learn that they are attacked un-
awares on their way, in a~pass where they
proceed in single file, by seven armed
Turks, who announce themselves by
shooting dead the first of the brothers,
and dangerously wounding the second.
The odds are fearful but the fight pro-
ceeds. The wounded man leans against
the rock, and though he receives another
and fatal shot, kills two of the Turks be-
fore be dies. The sister presses forward,
and grasps his rifle and his dagger. At
last all are killed on both sides, except
ing herself and single Turk. She asks
for mercy, and he promisesit, but names
her maidenly honor as the price. Indig-
nant, and perceiving that he is now OH
his guard, she stabs him with the dagger.
He tears it from her hand, they close, and
she dashes the wretch over the precipice
into the yawning depths below"

Make the Face the Mirror of the Soul.

Garry the radiance of your soul in your
face. Let the world have the benefit of
it, Let your cheerfulness be felt for
good wherever you are, and let your
smiles be scattered sunbeams "on the just
as well as the unjust" Such a disposi-
ton will yield a just reward, for its happy
effects will come home to you and brighten
your moments Of thought. Cheerfulness
makes the mind clear, gives tone to
thought, adds grace and beauty to the
countenance. JOubert says, "When you
give, give it with joy, smiling" Smiles
are little things, cheap articles to be
fraught with so many blessings both to
the giver and the TeceiveT-pleasant little
rpples to watch as We stand on the shore
of every day life. They are higher and
better responses of nature to the emotion
of the soul. Let the children have the
benefit of them-those little ones who
need the sunshine of the heart to educate
them, and would find q level for their
buoyant nature in the cheerful faces of
those who need them. Let them not be
kept from the middle-aged, who need the
encouragement they bring. Give your
smiles also to the aged; they come to
them like the quiet rain of summer, max
ing fresh and verdant the long and weary
path of life. They look for them from
you, who are rejoicing in the fullness of
hfe.-Dr. Holland, in SeribRsr's.

Russian Thieves.

Thieves and policemen are the great
pests of Russian towns, but especially
policemen. A man who has resided
some time in Russia even grows to doubt
whether the notions of meum and tuum
are comprehended there as they are in
other countries. II you pay a visit and
leave cloak on the seat of your car
riage, that cloak is gone when you come
out. If you walk out with dog un-
chained, the dog vanishes round a street
corner Shopkeepers are afraid to
place articles of value in their windows.
HOuseholders are liable to have their
horses and carriages stolen if they do
not keep u sufficient number of stable
servants, and take care to see before
going TO bed that one at least of these
menials is sober. A man who goes out
for night stroll unarmed NAV be set
upon within sight Of droschky stand
and stripped Of every article ne wears,
including shirt and small clothes. The
droschky drivers will not give him q
helping hand; they will rather start off
altogether in a panic, lest they should
be summoned to give evidence; as for
the police, they hurry up afterward, and
make the despoiled man pay twice the
value of the things he has lost in fees for
investigation. 1t is said that person
influential enough to make himself un-
pleasant to the police gets back his lost
property in no time; the police will even
restore him the equivalent if they can
not recover the actual articles
