INDEPENDENCE OF INTELLEar.

A good part of the unpleasantness in
arises more from the lack Of self-re-
spect in men or women without N aey
than from pride in the possessors of it.
There are men rated poor to whom it
would never occur that they were out
of place in any assembly of refinei and
intelligent people, however great the
aggregate of wealth represented. Per-
haps they were born without instinee
for accumulation perhaps they are
lacking in an enviable ability to take
care of themselves and their pockets at
the same time, and have chosen to build
up themselves rather than fortune !;
perhaps, like Agassiz, they have found
mo time to make mo- y, or like ma
iority Of the race, o9portunIEy. No
matter-their moods are sweet and no.
BILE; their wit is keen or their hnmor
excellent their minds are bright, their
hearts warm and their manners fine.
As society is not place for comparing
inventories of property, they feel and
appear quite at thome We have knowsl
men and women who would have been
bankrm,ted if they had sold, ever. for
million dollars, that sunshine IT their
soul-the sincere, infectious and radiant
smile that distinguish them; and others,
the SWEET aud rare fruits Of whose spin,
it made their friends forget whether
they were rich or poor.

Not a hundred miles from Thornhill
a young lady had been spending the
day with bachelor minister and his
sister. The young lady, whose name
was Miss Hope, had been very gratifed
with the kindly treatment received at
the good old Scottish manse, and on
leaving expressed her thanks for the
kindness of the minister, at the same
time making the remark "That she had
not heard him IN the pulpit; but" she
continued, ''I will be over Sabbath to
hear YOU" 'sI shall be very glad to

Bsrange Superstition.

Fannie Davenport is very supersti-
tious, aad especially so about birds. To
touch or 60 near one on her way to the
tLeater she regards as sure foreruhner
Of bad luck and a disastrous engage.
ment The other night, when dressing
for her benefit performance at Dayton,
Ohio, u hen suddenly flew out of hand
box, in which 1t had been placed by
some enemy. The actress at once
tainted, and the audience dispersed by
the manager Fannie lay two days in
Mysteries, and might have conferred an
inestimable boon on the American stage
by continuing in them had not fortune
teller come to her relief with the in
formation that the supposed "hoodoo"
could be removed by the sufferer per-
sonally catching the hen and eating the
SAME, stewed according to due astrolog-
ical and cabalistic recipes.
With some difficulty the hen was
identified among a number scratching
on a vacant lot in the suburbs, and the
last advices from Dayton represented
Fannie, pullback, high heels and all,
furiously pursuing the doomed bird
through the streets, and followed by all
the small boys and stray dogs in the
locality.
There is good deal of chicanery
about this story, but we shall duly pub
lish the deuouement when it arrives.
If, however, the hen in question is any
near relation to a certain pioneer gravel
scratcher, we 5enevolently advise the
well favored leading lady to have it sub
iected to the mellowing influence of a
rteam pelldriver for a few hours before
it is served, and even then to wear only
her second best set of teeth.-Dayton

A Terrible Tale.

A man named James Cornell was ad
mitted as a patient to the General Hos
pital yesterday, having both his feet
badly frozen. His story being some
what wonderful will bear relation.
About six weeks ago he started away
early in the morning from Musquash
Island in Georgian Bay to walk to Pen
etancuislene. A path was marked out
by limbs Of trees and bushes placed at
intervals along the ice Cornell is short
sighted, and the path marks being only
placed at considerable distances apart,
he had not long been out OF sight of
land when he found he was lost on the
ice. He wandered around all that day
endeavoring to find either the path or
the land, but his efforts were frpitless.
When night fell he still kept moving to
keep nis blooo in circulation, but despite
all his care both his feet froze. When
morning broke the wretched man was
utterly exhausted, but his spirits re-
vived at sight Of clump Of trees visi.
BILE on the horizon. He summoned all
his remaining strength, and in short
time he reached the land. He found it
was a country heavily wooded, with tall
trees and dense uhderbrush--a place
which seemed never before to have been
visited by human beings. For several
days he wandered hither and thither,
crying aloud for aid, and being an
swered only by the mocking echoes Of
the trackless forest. Food, he had none,
but water he procured in abundance, in
the shape of ice and snow He raven
ously chewed bark and twigs and de-.
cayed leaves to quell the pangs Of hun.
ger which gnawcd at his vitals. At
l.length, entirely worn out, he laid him
self down to die. After this, he knows
not how the days went until one after
noon he heard the report Of q frearm
close at hand. He feebly called for
help, the cry being luckily heard by two
Indians who were hunting in the vicin-
ity. These people carried him on a
camp sled to camp hard by, where they
were making maple sugar Cornell
found he was on Christian Island, the
largest of group of which Musquash
Islsnd is member, The Indians made
the emaciated, hollow-eyed pale face as
comfortable as possible, and treated him
with such skill and attention that he
was soon able to be taken back to Mus
quash Island, and from there he took a
barge for Penetangulshene. From the
day on which he left Musquash till the
day he was found was seventeen davs,
during which time no food passed his
lips. ar .9m aiai Of '.'Hral no y
Cornell has pretty we'll recovered his
strength, but his feet are still in a bad
state, and it was thought advisable to
send him to the Toronto hospital for
treatment. He is young man, not
looking by any means, strong. He tells
his story in such straightforward man,
ner as to make it worldly Of all belief =

How Diamonds are Bought.

Buying diamonds for retail is said to
be deicste and difficult task. The
buyer sits down to table with a large
sheet of white paper spread before him.
On the paper. are poured the contents Of
certain packages received by the whole
sale dealer, The keen eyes of the buyer,
an expert, Of course, picks out at once
the shallow, fawsd, and all defective
stones, which are definitely rejected and
swept into bag. The accepted stones
must next be paired, and to this end q
tin plate, mounted on four feet, and
pierced with holes OF different sizes, is
employed. On this the diamonds are
laid, and shifted to and fro until each
diamond has been fitted into proper
