DON'T STAY AFTER TEN.


DON'T STAY AFTER TEN.
have Just word to say to you
When me you come to see
You know that none in all the world
Is half as dear to me.
IT'S this would request of you,
That when you come again
To see me in the evening
You won't stay after ten.
For after ten, as moments ny,
tremble DER and DER,
Lest papa's visage should see
Come peeping at the door.
He's there to execute his threat;
He said he'd surely come
If e'er you stay so late again,
And tell you to gohome.
And when down to breakfast 60
Papa will frown at me,
And say, my child, that beau OF yours
Is going to hear from me.
This sort of thing l will not have,
So, when he comes again
I'll just 60 down and show him out,
If he don't 60 at ten."
And so, though your society
Makes heart and soul thrOb warm,
heaye sigh of vast relief
your retreating form.
You know that you are welcome, aye,
o, best beloved OF men!
But many scolding you have caused
BY staying after ten

French Coral Fishing.

1t is we'll known that France provides
nearly every market in the world with
coral. The Steele gives some valuable
information upon coral fishing, which
furnishes employment for a large num-
Der of people. The process of coral
fishing is of the most simple nature
Imagine two long pieces of wood, form
ing square cross, in the centre OF
which lead or cast iron wedge is SOL
idly affixed, and which sinks the whole
machine into the middle of the sea. To
each of the four branches of this cross,
are attached fibres of hemp ana old
ropes. These fibres are united by a
rope of about five fathoms in length, so
that when the cross is sunk to the bot
tom, and is put in motion by the move
ments of the vessel, it catches, loosens
and retains all the fragments of coral
that comes within its reach. When the
captain sees fit the boat is stopped, and
it is then the hard labor begins for the
crew. The capstan must then be turned
and the heavy cross, laden with all its
booty, and made still heavier by the re-
sistance of the water, must be hoisted
on deck.
This hard work is incessant: the fish
ermen work on an average of eighteen
hours day, and when the weather is
unpleasant, which is often the case on
the African coast, they have not one
moments rest. The ship only returns
to port to unload, to replenish its store
of eatabes and fresh water, and then
Immediately goes back again. OF all
fishing, that of coral Is the most difficult.
When women decorate themselves with
these pink pearls they little dream what
hardships and dangers had to be under
gone to dislodge this beautiful product
from its ocean bed. When the coral
fishermen leave their homes they say
they are going to suffer the torments of
the cross.

"Yes know all the ins and outs OF
the trade-there is good opening in
our town. Yes, lam thinking aboutit." ="
you'll no be wanting a a partner,

"If can get the right kind"
"Would do?"

"Well, yes, laddie; an you medina

You could not leave Scotland, uncle. "
"Was thinking o. sic a daft thing =:
I'll trust my interest i your hands. I'll
hae my full rights, mind; an you shall
hae fair allowance for doing my wark
as well as your ain. Wen put every
thing on paper, and Use hold you
strictly to the bargain"
The proposal made half in banter,
finally assumed very real shape, and
it was agreed that when Robert returned
to America he should start new manu-
featuring firm under very different aus
pices to his first venture.
But the past was only once alluded to,
and then David introduced the subject.
you'll be thinking, Robin, very
likely, o. the day when | wouldna lend
you the twa thousand pounds"
"You were quite right, uncle; no man
ought to borrow money until he knows
the difficulty of making it-and of saw
ing it; young men can't know these
things; they belong to experience"
"You had that lesson to learn then,
Robin, an thought We might as weel
learn it o. ither folks as O. me. One
fool whiles teaches anither fool, an both
grow wise thegither. Sandy Mcclure
let We that twa thousand, and he was
name the waur o. the lesson We gave
him. There would be fewer young
fools if their were mair wise elders"
So Roberts visit was a great success,
and the old man shed the last tears he
ever shed on earth when he bid the chill
dren goOd-by.

my sake, Robin" he said, tenderly,
holding the lad proudly by the han6
lOl W iCll L III llp w wv wv,
you'll let my name stand i the firm, till
he's ready to take my place; so
then the hundred thousand will aye be
in David Speers' name.
And to-day the house grows andp pros
pers, and is known far and wide as the
firm of "Robert Rae q David Speers," "
though old David has long been gather
ed to his fathers in Kilmarnock kirk
yard. Roberts early failure has brought
forth late and splendid success, and
better. than this, his kind heartcdness
has almost become local proverb.
81 make it a rule never to lend money
to young men, but if you want to go
West or South I'll buy you ticket, and
give you fifty dollars. If the right stuff
is in you, that is enough-if not, it is
plenty to make ducks and brakes Of"
But somehow very few young men
that Robert Rae helps, do make 'ducks
and brakes" of his fifty dollars. In
many and many case it has been an
ample foundation for a good life, a good
fortune.

Moscow Drosky Drivers.

On the other side of the street there
are two droskies with their drivers
sleeping in the sun, waiting for passen-
gers. One is a covered chaise in the
modern style, the others are the old
fashioned guibars on which one sits as
tride as on horse, keeping tight hold
of the drivers waist for fear of falling.
Some of these droskies are good enough,
with fat horses, but the most of them
are abominable, and the detestable
pavements adds still more to ones suf-
ferings. 1t is great comfort when we
can have the good snow roads of winter
and the cozy little sledges; then one
starts out with something like pleasure,
though with the chance of being upset
in the gutter. Moscow is so large, and
the sidewalks are so narrow and so bad
that 1t is next to impossible to walk
much, and one soon falls iuto the lazy
habit Of always riding. These isuOSt-
chtks properly wear along blue tancat
with an odd fiat hat, but there are so
many who come in from the country for
a short time that you see all varieties of
costume. Each has brass ticket with
his number around his neck. have
seen No. $1,000, so that the number of
these vehicles must be very large. One
set Of men 60 out by day, and at night
another set who prowl lazily along the
streets or stand near some frequented
corner, always half asleep, in wait for
a chance fare. l have sometimes sur
prised them at their morning toilet, as
/ have looked out early in the morning,
"A little saliva on the hands, and the
face is soon washed. Three crossings
and a genuhecton to each quarter of
the horizon complete the hasty toilet.
These ivoStChiks do not, of course, all
own their horses and droskies, but for
the most part they belong to drtels or
cooperative associations. Sometimes
they hire the horses and droskies of
some man to whom they pay share of
the profits, and sometimes the drteI
owns them all. Their elder, or presi-
dent sees to providing them all with n
common lodging and board, and their
profits 20 into the common stock and
are regularly divided up.

The Pyramids.

The immense stones used In the erec-
tion Of the Pyramids of Egypt were OBJ
tained from the quarries In the Arabian
hills, and were carried to the river, and
over bridge of boats. They were then
brought forward by means Of a cause
way, which Of itself took ten years to
construct, and which is said to have
been fine work with Its polished stones
and figures Of animals engraved upon
them. One hundred thousand men
were employed at time, and these were
relieved by the same number at the end
of three months. A long time was
spent in the leveling Of the rock on
which the edihce stands, and twenty
years for the erection Of the pyramid
itself. The estones were raised step by
step by means of machine made Of
short pieces of wood, and, last Of all,
commencing from the top, the stones
were cemented together with layer of
cement not thicker than piece ofpaper,
the strength Of which is proved by the
age Of these enormous memorials.

Take Care OF Your Eyes.

The more you avoid glaring and
glancing lights in the room you habitu-
ally sit in, the better. Therefore-al-
though the following advice IS certain
to meet with no attention from the
great majority--it is our laughably
painful duty to recommend ladies to
have as few mirrors and other looking
glasses, gilt picture frames and mould
ings, bright colored curtains, and highly
polished furniture in their drawing
rooms as possible; and what they must
have should be so placed as not to allow
bright lights to be thrown upon them.
Highly colored curtains are additionally
injurious when the windows are open,
80 that various brilliant and dazzling
colors are flung about the room by the
incoming breeze. A very bright carpet
is a very injurious thing, and when
combined with bright painted ceiling,
madness. These things may be q
merry life for the eyes, but they are q
short one. A rich patterned, sober
toned carpet. and soft sky-gray or
stone ecolored ceilinga are my own private
fancy. The almost invariable white
wash of the British ceiling would be a
constant injury but for the grave fact
that the British isles are not overbur-
dened with sunlight. But whether

Mental Activity.

If the water runneth, it holdeth clear,
sweet and fresh but stagnatlon turneth
1t into a noisome puddle. If the air be
famed by the winds 1t is pure and
wholesome, but from being shut up 1t
groweth thick and putrid. If metals
be employed, they abide smooth and
splendid; put them up and they soon
contract dust. If the earth be labored
with culture ityieldeth corn; but lying
neglected, 1t will be overgrown with
bushes and thistles, and the better the
soil is the rankor the weeds it will pro-
duce. All nature is upheld in Its being,
order and shape by constant agitation,
every creature is necessarily employed
in action conformable to its designed
use. In like manner, the preservation
and full improvement of the faculties
depend on their constant exercise; to 1t
God has annexed the best and most
desirable reward-success in our under
takings, wealth, honor, wisdom, virtue,
salvation. - BdrrOw.
