On Tuesday night, the 18th inst,
between II and l o'clock, the dwell,
ling house of Norman w. Dunbar of
North llartland was discovered to be
on fire. But little was saved. The
conveniences, we learn, were not very
good for putting out the fire and it i'm
mediately got the advantage. The
house was an old fashioned two story
structure and burned like finder box
1t was situated about one-half mile
below North Hartland on the river
road, and is Familiarity known as the
Gallup place. 1t was formerly owned
by the late Hon. Hampden Cults.

ture insured for one thousand dollars

and only boarded, and during the late
rain it leaked like sieve. On the
whole we consider 1t a disgrace to the
town.

sympathy.

sympathy.
Some kind soul felt called upon last week to
state through the PRESS that Miss Won Hillern
suffered greatly during the greater part OF the
time she was walking, from the want OF sym
pathy from the spectators. This may have
been the case There is unquestionably a diff
ference between sympathy and pity, although
the words are frequently used as synonyms.
am quite sure that most who looked at her felt
a very strong sensation of pity for the poor de-
luded girl. Why should she be led to waste
her strength or shorten her days by doing the
work of horse instead of spending her time
in some useful employment. Human nature is
never elevated by such exhibitions. In fact
much more injury than good comes from such
examples. True sympathy is not, therefore,
called into exercise in such cases. Voluntary
suffering may call for pity but 1t does not de-
serve sympathy unless it be the result of good
action. What is the good in such walks as
Miss Won Hillern is taking. Can any one tell?
Was any one made better by her fifty mile
walk? Was there person in the hall that day
or evening who could help plying her? Her
haggard expression, flushed cheek ard sunken
ewes bespoke life of care and anxiety rather
than one of robust health. Do any of us wish
our daughters to follow her example? Why
then should we speak in praise OF such unjusti-
fable exploits Why not look at things as
they are and be consistent and not attempt to
waste real sympathy on unworthy objects. We
may all pity the poor girl justly enough, but un-
til she makes better use of her large stock of
vitality we are not called upon to sympathize
with her or 10 encourage her by any demonstra
tions of approval. If our society for the pre-
vention of cruelty to dumb animals had not put
in the word dumb, the agent could find no bet
ter opportunity to exe rcise his powers than in
putting stop to such cruel practices as these
walking exhibitions of Miss Won Hillern's.
They are really no more to be justified on the
score of humanity than prize fights and those
mill punishments. Let those under whose Ii
cense the SO mile walk is expected to come of,
think of the matter candidly. HEALTH.
