He KNEW THE FACT.-Not long ago
an officer of the London School Board
was crossing Convent Garden Market
at a late hour, when he found a little
fellow making his bed for the night in a
fruit basket. "Would you not like to
go to school and be well cared for p,
asked the official NO" replied the
urchin. 'But do you know that I am
one of the people who are authorized
to take up little boys whom I find as 1
find you, and take them to school ?'' IT
knows you are, old chap, if you find
them in the streets; but this here is not
a street. 1t is private property; and if
you interfere with my liberty, the Duke
of Bedford will be down upon you. I
knows the hact as well as YOU"

President Mcmahon, of France, has
had Gambetta, the great Republican
leader, statesman and orator prosecuted
for making speech of which the most
offensive portion was the remark -
President Mcmahon must submit to
the nation or resign" For uttering
this threat" Gambetta has been tried
convicted and sentenced to fine and i'm,
prisonment. BY this act Mcmahon has
martyrized Gambetta, and made him. if
he was not before, the first and most
popular man in France, and his own
successor to the Presidency, should Gam
beta and the Republic survive the or.
deal through which they are about to
pass.

On Monday the last OF the numerous houses

ground. The house, which was situated in
Petty France {now Queen Anne's-gatel West

the back Of the building opening into York
street: Archer, in bis q 'Vesttces Of London,''
says that Tin it the greatest OF poets passed the
happiest and the sad dest years OF his life When
compelled by ill-ca1th ID l653 to resign the Sit
uation Of Latin Secretary to the Privy Council,
he removed from Scotland-vard to Petty France,
where, in communion with the first scholars of
the age, he lired for eight years, surrounded by
all the moral worth OF his time. Here his first
wife died in irving birth to her fourth child and
Milton. shortly after her death, marrying again,
here also lost, from a similar CAUSE, his second
wife in twelve months after marriage: Lastly,
it was In this house that he became totally

Dreams in cloud Of beauty
Come to my heart to-day;
But must do my duty,
And lay those dreams away.
Look on garments you're making,
Pockets. and eeam. aud band,
While endless stitches taking
With not oerwi1ling hand
o what q witltul womani
Gazing beyond your reach,
Lazily, truly human:
See what this gown may teach.
As the gl:ttering needle
Goes swiftly out and In,
Yon can work thonsht-tread1e,
And dreams will be no sin.
Thinking Of blessed baby,
Who died in years agoue.
The angels tho1sbt-w0rk maybe
Will willing soul put on.
Child in your blessed ralment,
Golden and brown your hair,
Who is mixing your garmentsl
.. What do the angels wear.
Look on me As no other
Ever looked with your eyes:
Do babies think Of Mother
In the far away skics.
Sitting in shade Of cypress.
Working On seam and band.
Most uneasy mother
Ever was IN the land,
Longing to step on sunbeams,
Or sail on fairy sea
Away, away to castle
Opening doors for me-
And the little gown is finished
And snue1y laid away,
While my strength is undimiuishea-
I've done my bc4t to-day.

How TO CATCH TROUT. The palms Of the

which the trouty twitch alone can give, and

Hops. AZ his minds eye lands struggling

it in his fishers basket. He is ready to

may have mess of fish, and ten to one an
attack of rheumatism. For the Information
of trout fishermen, we will tell something
which may be of interest to them
II you can catch one trout you are supplied
with the most taking lure that can be used, not
even excepting the most enticing fly ever tied

their food in proportion of one tea
spoonfull to three pints of scaldei

The bites of mad dogs have been
rendered harmless by Immediately
cauterizing the wound with saturated
solution Of carbolic acid, and keeping
it constantly wet with a weaker solu-
ton of the same, at the same time
giving the patient, according to age,
! from two to six drops Of spirits of am
monia, in water, every two hours, for

allowed to dry for an instant for three

If a cat is seen catching chickens,

Fasten it securely, for she will make
incredible efforts to get rid of it, Be

The following advice from the New
York Euening Post is very important
Let every mother remember it : Life
long discomfort and sudden death Of
ten come to children through the in
attention or carelessness of the pa
rents. A child should never be allow
ed to go to sleep with cold feet; the
thing to be last attended to is to see
that the feet are dry and warm. Ne
glect of this has often resulted i'm a
dangerous attack of Group, diphtheria
or fatal sore throat. Always on
coming from school, or entering the
house from visit or eirand in rainy,
muddy or thawy weather, .he child
should remove its shoes, and the
mother should herself ascertain wheth-
er the stockings are the least bit damp.
If they are, they should be taken off,
the feet held before the fire and rubbed
with the hands till perfectly dry, and
another pair of stockings and another
pair of shoes put on. The reserve
shoes and stockings should be kept
where they are good and dry, so as
to be ready for use on minutes no.

years, and it again becomes the OBJ
ject to which the eyes of the world are
turned. 1t furnished a hi 2hway for
the Turks in the sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries TO penetrate Europe
rs far as Vienna, and in the days of
the Crusades it became an outlet for
the religious enthusiasm of Europe to
flow to .he Holy Land The Danube,
from its source in Baden to the Black
Sea. is 1920 miles in length, and it
drains, with its tributaries, an area of
over 800, 900 square. miles. 1t passes
through Bavaria, Austria, Hungary,
forms the boundary between Hungary
ana Servia to the Carpathian noun
tains, where it separates ROumania
and Bulgaria, and passes into the
Black Sea through several mouths,
the principal one being that of Suli-
Ia. The Danube is navigable for
steamers as far as Ulm i'm Bavaria
At Nicopolis, in the fourteenth centu-
nv, 100000 Christians were driven by
the Turks into the Danube. and i'm the
fifteenth century 10000 Turks were
slain ON its shores at the siege of Bel

CURE FOR DIPHTHERIA-A CORES
pOndent of a Victorian paper writes:
Should you or any of your family be
attacked with diphtheria be not alarm
ed, as it is easily and speedily cured
without doctor. When it was rag
ing in England a few weeks ago, | ac-
companied Dir. Field on his rounds to
witness the So called wonderful cures"
he performed, while the patients of
others were dropping on all sides.
The remedy, to be so rapid must be
simple. All he took with him was
powder of sulphur and quill, and
with these he cured eUeJy patient
without exception. He put Il spoon
full of flower of birthstone into a wine
glass of water, and stirred it with his
finger, instead of spoon, as the sui
phur does not readily amalgamate
with water. When the sulphur was
well mixed he gave it as a gargle, and
in ten minutes the patient was out of
danger. Birthstone kills every species
of fungus in man, beast and plant in
few minutes. Instead of splitting out
the gargle he recommends the swal-
lowing of it. In extreme cases, in
which he had been called just in the
nick OF time, when the fungus was too
nearly closed to allow the gargling, he
sblew the sulphur through a quill into
the throat, and after the fungus had
shrank to allow of it, then the garg-
ling. He never lost patient from
diphtheria. If patient cannot gar
gle. take a live coal. put it on a shovel
and sprinkle a spoonful Oh two of -four
birthstone at time upon it, let the
sufferer inhale it, holding the head
over it, and the fungus will die. If
plentfully used, the whole room may
be filed almost TO suffocation the pa
tient can walk about in it, inhaling
the fumes, with doors and windows
shut. The mode of funigating a room
with sui phur has often cured most vio-
| lent attacks of cold in the head, chest,
etc, at any time and is recommended
in case Of consumption and asthma.
