catch and handle sheep, A great many
men will seize tho sheep by the wool

the animal clear from the ground by

that beneath the SKIN wherever the
animal had been caught Ivy tho wool,

To be So strict III regard - handling

But ewes with lambs should never be

and stalkod across Broadway and tho
square direct toward the fountain in the

A Postal Gard.


There were some mad men i'll GER
tain Kentucky post-oihcc few days
ago. 4 postal card was dropped into
the lettcr-box addressed to the REV.
John Ponobscott, ---, ." 1t was
an ordinary card, and the postmaster
was an ordinary postmaster. He took
it up, glanced ut the address, turned it
leisurely over and read:
May ,, 1879. You, to
whom this card is not addressed, and
who, nevertheless, have the cheek to
read it, are u contemplate, unprinei-
pied sneak, and prying, pusillanimous
coward. GEORGE L. DUNCAN.
The postmaster laid the card gently
down and lounged to the other end Of
the house, softly whistling Nancy Lee"
In due time the clerk came upon the
card, perused it, and made the neigh
borhood hideous with the howls of his
pet dog, which he kicked in the ribs.
How the card Jared with the various
route agents through whom it passed it
is impossible to say, nor do we know
whether it was read by the woman who
is postmistress of the office whsre the
Rev John Penohscott is supposed TO
get his mail; but the report is that on
the day it reached there she smashed II
bottle of ink on her husbands head,
spanked the children NIL round, and
chewed up 70 cents worth of wax We
cannot be too careful never to write ON
postal-cards anything in the least calcu-
lated to wound the sensitive lolicacy
Of the post-ofiicc peoples feelings.

TO YouNG MEN.-Be careful not to
overestimate your own abilities. 1t is
very natural to feel quite convinced Of
your skill. and to be aggrieved that
your efforts are not more specially re-
cognized by employers; but rest assured
that in the end employers viii recognize
any capability you may possess at its
proper value, aud are at all times eager
TO avail themselves Of any elements you
may possess that are advantageous to
the pursuit Of their business. II, on the
other hand, your ability is recognized,
bear N mind that you are fairly cstab-
lished upon the right path, and be care
full not TO suceumb to the inducements
offered elsewhere by slight advance
Of remuneration. This is indeed the
rock upon which the hopes of thou
sands Of young men have foundered.

Smuggling ON the Canadian Border

'CHNhNf NNltulNb Nhy ~
The smngglers of clothing are nearly
all French Canadians from the interior
of the country, and they go about their
work Systematically. Habited in their
ordinary homespun, with long over
coats, they cross to Detroit, purchase
clothing i'll the cheap stores, put on the
new dues" draw the old ones over
them, and then boldly start for home,
This operation has worked very well
for a long time, but its day is over.
Others put en- their very poorest gaIb,
dress themselves out from top to toe in
Detroit store clothes, sell the old stuff
for what it will bring, and then cross
the creek. 1t would be more IN the in
terest of Canadian industry and revenue
to have smuggling done 10 the other
side of the line.
