certain parts Of Pepys's Diary. and throws
the Greville Memoirs altogether in the
shade The class little beneath the aris-
tocracy take good care not TO be left be-
hind in the race. lmitators generally
outdo the originals. Public opinion no
longer condemns open immortality. 1t
only looks on approvingly. 1t was the
same, one remembers, IN France in the
days of Dubarry and Louis le bien aime.
Society was founded upon the Idea of pro-
miscuous intercourse of the sexes, and
there was no one to oil ject--no one, at
least, that people in the right set" could
condescend to take heed Of The "no-
bility and gentry" found the world a
pleasant one, and they did as they liked in
it. A few years passed away, and they
discovered that there had been contrary
opinion all the time, and that it was
stronger immeasurabiy than they who had
despised it. What happened to them af-
ter that is not yet quite forgotten. Let
us hope that history does not always re-
peat itself, bnt again it may be said,
without tear OF contradiction. that the
aristocratic and fashionable classes are
making but sorry preparation for the
day of trial in store for them.

And the thin young man produced a

so in line and biff hole through the whole

"Do, eh?"
"Yes; and after that wait till as many
bears come shifting around the dead deer,
and plank a ball through them, too.
After that | wait for wild cats and things,

big scheme, that" absently remarked
the visitor, and he gazed wistfully into
the mouth of the empty demijohn and rose
to depart.
You'll send Inc few copes?" inquired
the Nimrod: Don't forget to put in the

Put it in where?" waved the other.
"Why, in your paper. You're one Of

"OS, bless your soul, no! I'm only one

mot newspaper man., roared the en-
tertainer, with great disgust, land you've
had the cheek to get away with the last
drop of whisky in the camp and keep me
chinning away here in the hot sun for half
an hourl And now, after all, I've got to
go over the whole thing again"
And as the visitor drifted off he could
hear his late host repeating Kearneyism
unfit for publication, until he was out Of
hearing.

Suffocated in an Elevator,
From the Mcpherson Freeman.

From the Mcpherson Freeman.
Last Saturday, Morris Creek, aged
about twelve years, Ed Wright, Fred
Simpson, and Vic. Aeggelund were play
ing about the Novelty elevator. The boys
were in the large bin from which the wheat
is run into cars. The bottom of the bin is
funnel shaped with a spout in the center
through which the wheat passes into the
car. The boys have been accustomed to
stand on top Of the wheat and ride down
as the wheat settled When there is but
little wheat in the bin there is no danger;
but when there is large lot Of wheat,
and the feed spout of the bin is open and
the grain pouring in, the danger is very
great. Both spouts were open Saturday
when Morris Creek jumped on to the wheat
for a ride. He was carried down rap div,
buried in the wheat, and suffocated in
few minutes. The other boys called help,
which came, but not in time to save Nor
ris. He had been drawn down by the
suction and was buried some two or three
feet under the wheat. He was taken out
as quickly as possible 10y the men who
were at work loading the car, but not in
time to save his life.

Plenty of money secures leisure and
buys pleasure; but will not always restore
health when lost. Mr.. II. Lulay, Sufield,

The Idleness of Girls.

great mistake that many girls are
making, and that their mothers are either
encouraging or allowing them to make is
that OF spending their time out Of school in
ldleness or In frivolous amusements, doing
no work to speak Of and learning nothing Q
about the practica, duties and the serious
cares of lite. 1t is not only in the wealth
ier families that girls are growing up indo-
lent and unpracticed in household work;
indeed, think that more attention Is paid
to this industrial training of girls in the
weather. families than in the families of
mechanics and people in moderate circum-
stances, where the mothers are compelled
to work hard all the time. within the
last week." says one Of my correspondents,
81 have heard two mothers, worthy women
in most respects. say-the first. that her
daughter never did any sweeping. Why,
If she wants to say to her companions, Il
never swept room in my life, and takes
any comfort in it, let her say it; and yet
that mother is sorrowing much over the
short comings of that very daughter. The
other said she would not let her daughter
do anything in the kitchen. Poor deluded
woman! She did it all herself, indeed
The habits Of Incidence and Of helpless
ness that are thus formed are not the
greatest evils resulting from this bad prac-
tice; the selfshness that it fosters is the
worst thing about 1t. How devoid of con-
science, how lacking in all true sense of
tenderness or even of justice, girl must
be who will thus consent to devote all her
time out of school to pleasurlng, while her
mother is bearing all the heavy burdens
Of the household. And the foolish way in
which mothers sometimes talk about this,
is mischievous in the extreme. "Oh!
Hattie is so absorbed in her books, or her
crayons, or embroidery, that she takes no
interest in household matters, and l do
not like to call upon her." AS if the
daughter belonged to a superior order Of
beings, and must not soil her hands or
rutfie her temper with necessary house
work. The mother is the drudge; the
daughter is the fine lady for whom she
tolls. No mother " no suffers such a state
of things as this can preserve the respect
OF her daughter, and the respect Of her
daughter no mother can afford to lose.
The result OF all this is to form in the
minds OF many gifted girls not only a dis
taste for labor, but q contempt for it, and
purpose to avoid it as long as they live
by some means or other. There is scarcely
one letter | have received which does not
mention this as one Of the chief errors in
the training OF our girls at the present
day. 1t is not universal, but it is altogeth-
er too prevalent. And | want to say to
you girls, that if you are allowing yourself
to grow up with such habits of Incidence
and such notions about work, you are pre-
pairing for yourselves miserable future. -

That remedy made of such common, simple
plants as Hops, Buchu, Mandrake, Dandelion,
&c., make SO many and such marvellous and
wonderful cures as Hop Bitters do? 1t must

nav 9v a.

Mr.. Redpath, the New York Tribune
correspondent sent to Ireland to inquire
into the condition of the efamine-stricken
people, has received many letters from
parish priests detailing q deplorable
state of affairs. The following letter
from Rev. John j. O'Keane, dated
Dramore West, is atale Of suffering that
ought to move heart of stones
The area of this parish is over 10000
acres, the greater part OF which is bog
and mountain, and the remaining por-
tion, with the exception of q couple of
hundred acres of grazing land, consists
of poor mafshy lowlands. The average
size of the holdings is between six and
eight acres, and the population, includ-
ing all denominations, is about 900
families, nearly 1000 individuals. Over
400 families are dependt mt on the relief
committees, and 100 families in the
parish are almost entirely in want OF
clothing. and the children in state of
semi-nudity.
On Sunday morning last. as / was
about going 10 church. poor young
woman, prematurely aged by poverty,
addressed me. Being in hurry / said: (:
81 have no time to speak to you. Mrs.
Calpin; are you not on the relief listP"
"No, father" she answered, land we
are starving" Her appearance caused
me to stop. She had no shoes, and her
wretched clothing made her q picture
of misery. l asked her why her hus-
band had not come to speak to me. Her
reply was: He has not had a coat
for the last two years, and this being
Sunday did not wish to trouble Thomas
Feeney for the loan of one, as he some
times lends one to him" Have you
any other clothes beside what / see on
youP" Father, / am ashamed" was
the reply; l have not even astitch of
