Somebody's Child.

Somebody's child is dying-dying with the
fush of hope on his young face and an indie
scribable yearnipg to live and take al honored
place in the world beside the companions Of his
youth. And somebody's mother is thinking of
the time when that dear face will be hidden
where no ray of hope can brighten it-when
her heart and home will be left desolate-be-
cause there was no cure for consumption.
Reader, If the child be your neighbours, take
this comforting word to the mothers heart

Stories of DOg.Stealers.

Sir Edwin Landseer used to tell
story of dog-suealer OF his acquaint-
ance who once restored to a friend of
Sir Edwin valuable spaniel two weeks
after the time agreed upon when the
matter was negotiated. Sir Edwin up
braiding the man for his delay, the lat
ter finally said: " Well, the truth is, Sir
Edwin-you see, had to steal him back
from an old lady to whom l sold him for
twenty guineas. She never higgled
about the price, and she was so fond of
the dog didn't think it would be Chris
tian not to let her have few days pleas
ure of him." This beautiful tale is
quite paralleled by one which Truth
now tells us of one Mr.. Page, a gentle
man whose recent condemnation to i'm
prisonment for stealing dog in London
elected much sympathy in dog-stealing
circles: "When he was being led from
the dock a friend of his touched Mr..
Montagu Williams, who had defended
him, on the shoulder" "We have pre-
pared for you little surprise, he said
you lost a valuable dog little while
ago; we have brought him back, and he
is in house close by" Mr.. Williams
could not 60 to the house, but gave the
address to which he wished the dog to
be taken, and on going home in the eve.
ming he found it there.

WHY Women Marry.


Vanty Fair in a recent issue says:
The question which we considered last
week, "Why Men Marry" is an inter
esting one; but it must be pronounced
inferior in interest to the question,
"Wby Women Marry" in the degree
in which men are in all respects less in
teresting than women. The Willingness
of women to marry is greater and more
patent than that of men: and, we will
add, that it is great deal naore wonder
full. That women have, to use COLO
guial phrase, the worst of it all through
life we entertain no doubt, and that the
matrimonial state, as understood by ex-
perience, has, as arule. fewer attractions
for them than for men, we also believe
to be true. Yet, while there are many
men who from choice abstain from mar
rying, and still more who put off marry
ing till the last practicable moment, we
doubt If there are any women worth
mentioning who refuse the married
state from option and deliberation, and
not many who postpone marrying till a
laEe period of life from a general repug-
nance to having a husband. That wo-
men refuse individual men, and some.
times go on refusing man after man, is
true enough; but then their objection is
to the man and not to the condition OF
life the man proposes; or, not unfre-
duently, their refusal arises from mere
skittishness, from feeling they may dc
better, or from cheerful conviction
that there is plenty of time to "think
about it." AS rule, however, womer
| who have the chance of marrying
marry, aud they would marry yet more
promptly than they do were it not thai
they are frequently held back from tax
ing foolish step by wise parents or dis
suading friends. How is this apparent
paradox to be explained? There is les.
to induce woman t. marry than to in
duce men; yet men hesitate to marry
and women jump at marriage. Some
will answer that man is rational ant
woman an irrational animal; but owe
ana above the distinction being too un
complimentary to be true, it is one o
those plausible explanation that explain
nothing. Again, it is sometimes affirmed
that, in marrying, men sacrifice liberty
whereas women, in marrying, acquire it
But this is an epigram easily dispose,
of. When men sacrifice what is callet
their liberty by marrying, they are al
ready tired of their liberty, or that par
ticular form of it which bachelorhoot
enjoys, and, were the point thorough,
examined, we suspect it would be fount
that they abandon form of liberty o
which they are weary for another foru
they have not yet possessed.

COler Of the Sea.

The color of the ocean, when free from
admixture of foreign substances, as ami
malcules, vegetable organisms, excessive
rain, or the tinted waters of swollen
rivers, is a pure deep blue, which be-
comes less marked where the water is of
less depth. A different color of sea
water is due to the presence of some for
eign substance.se, g., the red, brown, and
white patches of the Pacific and Indian
Oceans to the presence of swarms of ami
malcules, and the colors of the Red and
Yellow Seas to matters of vegetable orr
gin. The Rhone, at its emergence from
the Lake of Geneva and the lake Itself,
exhibit az intensity of blue far surpass-
ing that of any sea. The phosphores-
oence of the sea is due to the presence
|. of myriads of invertebrata, especially
rhizopoda, tunicato, etc.

The Small Boy Has Some Fun"

He was naturally cruel, and he told
an acquaintance one day that he had a
new trick to play on The public-some-
thing entirely new. He had long
string and brass key tied to the end of
it, which he said was the instrume Mt
of torture. Over the front sidewalk a
maple tree sent some pretty strong
branches, making a seat hidden by
leaves. Into this, after dark, the boys
climbed.
Now watt said the principal, "till
the first victim comes, and don't make
q noise.'
Pretty soon an ordinarily-dressed
woman came along, and just as she had
passed he let drop the key on the hard
sidewalk, Immediately pulling it up
again. Both now watched develop
ments. The woman came to sudden
stop, began fumbling in her pocket, and
wondered what she could have dropped.
She started on, but had not gone far
before she came back, impelled by Gu
riosity, and began careful search of
the walk. Meanwhile the boys in the
tree had stuffed their fists in their
mouths to keep from soaring the game.
and dared hardly look below for fear
of laughing out. A sympathetic sister
came along, and together they picked
up stones and turned over all the chips
on the walk. No money, no key, moth
ing did they find; and so went on to
their homes, perhaps to worry all night
or perhaps giggle in the tree turned
their looks of disappointment into g
cheap smile, and laugh from the SAINT
place made them have awful wicked
thoughts about boys. w..
One victim found a piece Of tin, and
laying the cause of the noise to that
was saved from a great deal of worry
But when she picked it up and threw i
down several times to test the sound
the boys nearly fell out of the tree.

pockets and glance around little, bu
it was seldom that he was brought to

ITEMS FOR FIELD AND HO USE.

SUET and lard keep better in tin
than in earthen vessels suet will keep
good the year around, if chopped and
packed down in a stone jar covered
with molasses. ....
Do not let coff- e and tea stand in tin.
Scald your wooden ware often, and keep
the tin ware perfectly dry. Wash dishes
in a wooden bowl and there will be less
danger from breaking, or scratching of
the silver ware.
Do not throw away the suds from
washing. Both aches and suds are good
manure for bushes and young shrubs.
WHEN your mattresses get hard and
bunchy, rip them, take the hair out, pull
it thoroughly by hand, let it lie day or
two to air, wash the tick, lay it in as
light and even as possible and catch it
down as before. Thus prepared they
will be good as new.
BRITANNIA ware should be first
| rubbed gently with a wooden cloth and
sweet oil; then washed in warm wafer
suds and rubbed with soft leather and
whiting. Thus treated it will retain its
beauty to the last.
THE test of good farming is that land
should always be improving, not deteri.
Grating, which means that the farmer
is doing iSewise-getting richer, moi
poorer. The improvement of o-e i'm
proves both, as certain as the poverty o.
one makes both poor.

cussed the question lately, " How shat

would keep some sheep and young cat
