A FATHER VINO MELTED.-The other eve-
ming citizen of Detroit beckoned to his
twelve-year-old son to follow him to the
woodshed, and when they had arrived there
he began;
.Now, young man, you have been fighting
again How many tunes did tell you it was
disgracefal to fght?"
"Oh, father, this wasn't about marbles or
anything OF the kind" replied the boy

SIT made me awful mad, but I didn't ga
anything. Then he called you hireling."
"Called me hireliug! Why. I'd like to

gent.

SooToH UsAGEs.-Trial by jury, that much
honored palladium of civil rights, differs
materially In two countries. A Scottish Grim
inal is model of fairness and deliberation.
The accused is in good time served with
very precise Indictment, along with list of
the witnesses to be used in evidence against
him. At the trial the jurors are chosen by
ballot, and each is furnished with printed
copy of the indictment, with paper. pen, and
ink to write notes of>evidence as it proceeds.
The. trial begins by the Clerk of the court read
ing the indictment, by which means theSexAct
nature of characterization is openly and dearly
defined, and there is no need Tor a heightened
predatory harangue by counsel for the prose-
cution. The1indictment being read the evil
dence is at once proceeded with. Any one
can compare this precision with what occurs,
and is occasionally complained of, in England.
A Scottish jury may give verdict of guilty,
not guilty, or not proven, this last alternative
being adopted when the evidence appears to
be incomplete. There is no such alternative
in England. In English criminal procedure
the jury consists of 10 men, who must be
unanimous in their verdict of guilty or not
guilty; when not being able to agree, after
hours of wrangling together, they are dis
missed. thereby occasioning new trial. In
Scotland the thing is conducted more in ac-
cOrQances Win human nature. Inc Jury ID
composed of Is men, who, II not unanimous,
may decide by majority, spch as to z, or
possibly II tes1j BY which means juror
with twisted notions resolved being singu
lar, as often happens, is unable to thwart the
ends of justice. The decision by majority
is accepted without demur In the trial Of
civil cases, latitude is also allowed The
jury consists. as in England, of 10 men; but
if they have been in consultation for three
hours a majority of nine is sufficient for YER
dict If after nine hours there be not ma
;iority of nine, the jury may be dismissed:
These Scotch arrangements seem to be in all
respects more rational than the practice prev
alent in, England and Ireland No one ever
heard Of a miscarriage of justice. civil or
criminal in Scotland, owing to decisions by a
majority.

ened and preserved in a healthy state by
work whereas it decays or becomes impover-
ished by disuse or, what is even worse. since
it. is impossible to keep the brain absolutely at
rest, its powers should be probably employed
or they react on the system, and give rise to
the numberless ailments, physical, mental, and

certainly it is to women especially that the

In town the condition of middle-class girls
is to me pitable. They are too genteel to fol-
dow any occupation they are often too many
in family to assist in domestic duties; they
have returned home from school with some
very poor accomplishments their knowledge

is that they are overtaxing their strength: the
