TOTS MISTAKE,

They were all to picnic bound that dav
At the back OF the mountain farm;
Bernard and Marshall, Teenie and Tot
With mamma to keep them from harm.
With uncle to manage the rcettlesome prays,
They were of in the morning at nine,
VI know Of place where the winterpreen
grows"
Said uncle, "and there we will dine.
'Tis messy nook at the edge OF the wood,
And near Is sparkling fountain!"
All the children agreed that uncle mustkn
For it was uncle who owned the mountain.
Sand I'll show you q cleft In deep rayine--
The ruiest and ruggedest spot.
And there you'll SEE Nature in rare undress
'Oh, my!" cried Teenie and Tot"
Twas blessed day in the dewy wood
With the brooks and the breezes free,
And the rocky rift in the mountain side
That was the wonder to see.
A hundred feet were the gray old cliffs,
The floor was a solid block,
Save where in q corner bubbling spring
Had scooped out q bowl in the rock.
Cried Teenie, "splendid!" Mamma said Job r
And the boys gave hurraLing shout:
"But don't see Nature" cried little Tot
Shyly peeping about.
II hope she isn't afraid OF us,
This must be the place, guess?
That uncle was telling us ot--you know,
Where Nature goes to undress."

A ShiIling.and-Sixpenny Dropping. Ma.

A Boston1an travelling in England
gives his experiences in the Transcript
of English extortion, as follows: I write
it with the greatest JUNCTION and en-
phasis after my name, whenever am
asked to record it, gu. S. A." not that
love England the less, but my country
more and more. But I have found,
whatever the honor and privilege of my
birthright, it is not an economy to be
recognized as an American. And recog-
nized as such, at once, you inevitably
are. "But how did you know am an
American ?" I said to chatty, intelli-
gent Englishman, who, like myself, had
possessed doorway to get out of too
exuberant shower. 81 should not have
known he answered, chad you not
spoken" And so my speech "bewray-
eth me everywhere, and everywhere at
cost. An American is, by the average
Englishman, supposed to carry rail-
way in one pocket, and at least silver
mine in the other. with an oil well as a
reserve. He knows you. He spots you.
You are his gudgeon. Wherever you go
you hear of the foolish things Americans
have done, until the English idea is that
the American exists simply as shilling
and-sixpenny dropping machine, and he
keeps the machine well at it. They talk
of ducks shedding water, but one sheds
these silver favors at every step. 1t is
no economy to be known as an American.
1t is luxury, an extravaganza, an i'm
prudence.

Life in India.


The following is an extract from an
address by prominent missionary from
India:
"The girls are married at the age Of
five ana SIX, never later than ten, on ac-
count OF the believed effect that such
misfortune would Lave on her ancestors.
She Is put into box, which is closed up
like coffin and covered with decora-
ted cloth, and In this shape taken to the
husbands house, where she is deposited
and left for the rest of her life, never to
60 out save on the occasion of exception
al and rare visits to her neither. In the
high caste houses the outer court, around
which are the mems apartments, luxuri-
ously furnished, is reached by TN under
ground passage. A passage leads from
this to the inner court about which are
the wives rooms or cells. The walls
and floor inside are of BRICK; there is no
bed, no chair and no furniture but a sort
OF desk and box in which the occupant 8
clothes are kept. They are never taught
to read or write, and suppose that
when l went there first not one in
eighty thousand could read. All of the
world they ever see 10 the inner court
They are marvelously beautiful, however.
both men and women, as race, despite
the hard lot of the wives Each lady has
her own brick-foored cell, and sleeps on
strip of mating. The widows are far
worse off, however. They can never
marry again; can eat only one meal a
day, of rice; are debarred ty supersti-
tious custom from receiving any help or
any word of love or mercy; are COMPEL
cd to wear their hair hanging loose, un-
cleaned and unbranded, and can net
speak in the presence of their mother-in-
law, or sister-in-law without permission.
Every three weeks they have twenty
four-hour fast. I saw one little girl, a
child, who was burning up with fever,
and whose tongue, black aud swollen,
was protruding from her parched lips.
asked her if she wanted water, and
she signlfed feebly that she did. I told
the women to get her some, and they re-
fused, saying that she was widow and
1t was wrong. She had had no water tol
three days, but they would not let me
give her any on the plea that was pol.
luted foreigner, and such an act would
break her caste and that of the whole
house. She died In agony the next day

A ROYAL Fish-pond.

One OF the sights at Fontainebleau is
the tish-pond near the palace, filled with
carp, which every visitor feeds with dry
bread. This is the principal amusement
of the place. The water is crowded with
them, and they are SO fat that they can
hardly swim. Nobody Is allowed to
take one of these venerable sybarites out
Of the water, but the pond is emptied
two or three times in the course of .
century, when the poor OF the town are
treated TO grand fish feast, and as they
have not enjoyed one for about fifty years,
they are beginning to carp about it. An
old woman sits for six months of the
year under q big blue umbrella. selling
bread al day long to visitors, who are
greatly amused to see the fish struggle
and fight for it. The universal rule of
the world prevails here; the biggest fish
get the biggest morSels, and continue to
grow fatter. Some even get so fat they
cannot see, and we have known men to
become blind from excessive fairness and
overlooking. In winter the fish retire to
the bottom of the lake and sleep for six
months.
