Another defalcation by a respectable
Bo,tonian has come to light, through
the voluntary confession OF bank
cashier, who lost seventy thousand dol

in Bonanza mining stocks. Confession,
like voluntary bankruptcy, appears to
be a convenient method in Boston of
wiping off old scores. The bank cashier
was allowed to resign, and was of course
not arrested, as Mr.. Tappan, his immedi-

natural enemy, the cat. perhaps the
best exterminators, acting IS poisons,
are some of the many preparations OF
phosphorus got up for that express pur-
pose.
Phosphorus is said to have . certain
and perhaps similar attraction for
rats and mice that catnip and valerian
have for cats, which draws them to
where it is from considerable distances.
But the ordinary preparations are not
only comparatively costly and Disagree
able to handle and have about, but
they are virulently poisonous, and some
times contain so much phosphorus that
the preparation repels rather than at
tracts the vermin. But there is q
method of its use, known and practiced
in the Bahama Islands, to protect the
pineapples, that are grown in such
enormous numbers. from their only en-
envy, the rats, which swarm, as they
always do in warm climates, where the
ignorance and prejudice of the natives
and the people have almost extermi-
mated the cat. A fair-sized yam or
sweet potato is boiled in the usual man.
ner, and while it is still hot, but not
very hot, common phosphorus match
is thrust into each end, and, in course
of few hours, the poison has been
taken up and penetrated through the
potatoes substance. These are then
distributed about and under the pine
apple plants, and are greedily de-
voured, and with fatal results, by the
rats. How far such remedy would
succeed in cool and moist climates, and
upon vermin which have access to more
or less animal food, it is difficult to say;
but the remedy is a cheap, easy and
comparatively safe one. which deserves
to be tried, and. if found to be an eff

A Rose with a Thorn.

A LADY, as well known for her artistic
abilities as for her want of punctuality
in the payment of her debts, was a
" bright particular STAR at Her Maj
esty's rheater during the operate sea-
son which has just come to an end. She
was wanted'' by Mr.. P, solicitor,
who was anxious to serve her with
s.process. The lady was coy and
could not be interviewed. Mr.. p,
therefore, took box on the pit tier,
and when the lady had finished a we'll
executed air he gallantly threw to her
beautiful bouquet, which had figured
in front of his box. The lady took it
up and smiled graciously upon her adj
mirer. Nesting in the flowers was a
note. Was it a billet-douG? The lady
slowly drew it forth. She opened it.
Alas! it was not a tender of heart and
hand. 1t commenced, Victoria. "
She started back, for her name was not
Victoria. The missive was from Her
Majesty to the artistic. 1t bore seal,
but not of Hymen. It was, indeed. a
writ. The lady treated the matter as a
theatrical joke. The Court OF Queen
Bench did not. Judgment was OBJ
tanned, and the lady was arrested as
she was leaving the theater with her
weekly salary, and her daughter by her
side. She was taken to q sponging-
house. That evening she was to ap-
pear in one of her best parts. A gal
liant nobleman, hearing of what had oc-
Cured, came to the rescue, and, pro-
viding himself with sovereigns, OBJ
tanned her release. No one, under the
circumstances, could have done more.

Broad. Chested Horses.

6 Wind" said an old horseman, sis
the grand secret of fast horse. Good
lungs will cover a multitude of faults;
whilst, on the other hand, perfection
of shape and form are useless when the
wind is out. The chest, therefore, in
all cases, should be large and capa-
cious. In shape it may vary somewhat,
according to the service to which the
horse is to be put. If he is to be kept
for slow work and heavy drawing, the
chest may be nearly circular in form,
because this shape is the one for
strength and bulk. to receive and bear
up against the pressure of the collar;
while at the same time sufficient room
is secured for that expansion of the
lungs caused by slow and regular work.
But, if the chest is circular, let it be at
the same time deep, or else the lungs
may be cramped. A horse with shall
low chest is worthless for any purpose.
The rule, then. is this: For a draft
horse, circular but deep chest; but
as soon as you pass through the differ
ent degrees of speed, up to the racer
and trotter, the chest will increase in
depth, compared to its roundness, until,
for the highest rate of speed, you must
have chest as deep as greyhound,
and, at the same time, not lacking in
strength. Every breeder should Keep
this rule in mind when selecting his
brood mares and stations, for he may
be sure that shallow-chested parents
never beget deep-chested colts. Cha

The Victory Of Faith.

THAT is very great Scripture,
"This is the victory that overcometh
the world, even your faith" Too fire.
quently we read it wrong. l read it
thus for many years. / was wont to
read it, 'sThis is the victory that over
cometh the world, even your fight. :"
It is not fight, however, which over
comes, but faith. 1t was thus ] dis
covered the real meaning of the Script
ure:
1t was one wintry day. The ground
was snow-covered. was passing along
the street. My child, little girl, was
coasting with her sled. Some rude
bows seized her sled. She had been in
tussle with them. She could do moth
ing with. the boys of herself; they were
too much for her. just then she saw
me coming round the corner. Imme-
diately she left the boys, sled, every
thing, and ran to me. Papa" said
she, IL want my sled" Then she was
quite sure that she possessed it, because
she knew that l was mightier than
the boys, and could get it for her, and
would. That was the victory which
overcame the world of that childish
trouble-even her faith. She put the
whole matter in my hands, and by her
faith in me was conqueror.
Since then have read this Scripture
as it stands. The victory that over
cometh is that of faith. Toward the
temptations, toward the trials, toward
the troubles of our lives, we are as
helpless in ourselves as was my little
daughter toward the boys who had
seized her toy. Toward the tempta-
tons, toward the troubles, toward the
trials of our lives, we may be as con-
quering as was my little daughter to-
ward those boys. It is not needful that
we be vanquished Christians. There
is for us infinite resource. 1t is faith.
however, that unlocks it, and not fight.
Garry your pain or peril to the Lord,
in the same definite actual way in
which my child carried her captured
sled to me. and the might Of Christ is
pledged you. This is the secret of vic
-torious Christian living. 1t was PauPs
secret. The life which / now live in
the flesh live by the faith. of the Son
of God" -Rev. Wayland Hoyt, in Chris
Liam Union.
