Hospital Sunday.

word of reminder is all that will be need
ed to ensure full and generous response to
the annual request for aid to the Maine
General Hospital. The fourth Sunday in June
is the date of the yearly contribution; aud
occurs next Sunday, the Goth. The recent
conference of Congregationalists has ex-
pressed itself clearly in favor of the institu-
tion of Hospital Sunday as a day of benevo-
lence toward most benevolent enterprise,
and their words will not fail to be fulfilled
by their deeds. Other denominations will
not allow themselves to be outdone in ap-
probation and practical support of so emil
nent charity. While it is of course impor-
tant and desirable that persons should con-
tribute individually to the resources of the
Hospital. in money or in other articles, as
they have ability and occasion-it is especial
ly needful that there be general concerted
action among the various parishes of our
State, in order to ensure and keep lively
the public interest in the matter. Setting
forth the good works of the Hospital as
claim to assistance need no longer be done.
1t has spoken for itself in the hundreds of
homes to which it has restored happiness,
the men and women it has enabled to enjoy
life and to support their families by their
work; and thus it has added to the actual
wealth of the State. The Maine General Hos
pital was planned, built and instituted for the
good of Maine people, and will not fail to
receive every expression of their confidence
and their substantial aid. No sum of money
is too triling to be acceptable, no gift can
exceed the sum which the Hospital would
find good use for; and it is hoped that the
Hospital Sunday of 1881 will be marked by
generous contribution.

American Manners.
A Very Proper Growl from Father Jona-
than.
lFather Jonathan in the Hour.


To man of highly nervous temperament
to walk in the streets of New York is misery.
Father Jonathan has horror of mobs; he re-
ligiously avoids the narrow streets of the city.
The sidewalks of the principal thoroughfarts
are so wide that only one or two spots are ever
inconveniently crowded, and that only for an
hour or SO in the afternoon. Yet, although
there may be space enough to admit of three
Dutchmen walking abreast passing you ON one
side and as many Dutchwomen on the other,
every fourth or fifth fellow who passes will ad-
sheer loutishness, at others, evidently, as an
assertion of that noble equality" which gives
to every citizen the privilege Of making him.
self as disagreeabe to others as he possibly can.
Occasionally some oyer-hurried individual will
commit the impertinence Of laying his hands
on you as if you were q fence over which he
proposed vaulting: others tread on your heels;
and some have the art Of treading ON your toes
from behind you In crossing at right angles,
at the intersection of streets, when there is any
doubt as to which is in advance of the other,
instead of the polite delay of a second to let
your neighbor pass, it is American manners to
struggle for the precedence as if life depended
on it. Father Jonathan was once walking
down Houston street, when he met a man, ap-
parently respectable, who deliberately lowered
his head after the fashion of bull, came full
tilt against him, and passed on as unconcerned-
ly as if he had done the most natural thing i'm
aginable. This incident is, II may be pre-
sumed, exceptional, but it tells a tale of the
state OF things amidst which such an act can
be possible. The man was not drunk, nor did
he display any signs of being crazy.
The following happens not. unfrequently:
You are walking leisurely along q not much
frequented sidewalk. On a sudden a man,
who you did not even know was behind you,
jostles against your side, wheels sharply round
in front of you into house or a shop. He
could, with less inconvenience to himself,
have turned into his destination behind your
back, but he would have missed an oppor-
tunity OF inflicting upon another rudeness.
You Cast an Involuntary glance at the thing,
as it disappears through the door, TO assure
yourself that it has only two legs. Father
Jonathan finds it hard to treat with any sort of
patience the horsecar crowding, which even
the relief of traffic by the steam cars has not
put an end to. Appalling vulgarity is no
name for 1t; it is worse than barbarous; it is
revoltingly indecent. But little notice is
taken of the immense injury that modern civ
ilization has suffered from the joint-stock-
mited-liability-companyc craze. This is one
instance Of it. Deeds that no single individu-
al would venture on are perpetrated with i'm
punity by organizations in which individual
responsibility disappears, and all honor, prin-
ciple and recttude are subordinated to divi-
dends

THE American company have been treat
ed very shabbily by the English revisers."
We hear or see the above remark, says the
Independent, not infrequently; but we do
not hear it from members of the American
company themselves, but from their super
serviceable friends. Remember that this
was not proposed as joint revision. 1t
was proposed by an English Episcopal body,
the convocation of Canterbury. They in
vited some non-Episcopal scholars to assist
in the work. 1t did not occur to them that
it would be convenient for American or
Australian scholars to meet with them in
the Jerusalem chamber; but we Americans,
liking the idea and wanting to have hand
in it, went and asked them to take us into
partnership of scholarship with them. They
consented, if we cared to form a company
to help in the work, to consider carefully
and pass upon all emendations we might
suggest to their work. That has been done
aud they have faithfully and conscientious,
ly considered our changes and adopted most
OF them. There is nothing "shabby" in
their treatment of our scholars and it is in
decent so to represent it.

TIRE is a movement on foot to substitute
sacks for barrels in packing flour, especially
by those who export to foreign countries,
for the reason that sacks are cheaper and
just as useful. Flour barrels cost forty five
cents and are used but once for flour usual
ly. Cotton sacks to hold half barrel can
be bought for ten cents apiece, and can be
used several times for the same purpose. In
shipping flour some sifts from the barrel,
hardly an appreciable amount from single
barrel. but very large in the aggregate. 1t
is claimed that a less amount of flour passes
through well made sack than through an
ordinary barrel.

VIcKsBURG Herald: We are heartily in
favor of the South from the Potomac to the
Rio Grande being thoroughly and perma-
nently Yankeeized. Yankee energy, Yam
kee schools, Yankee cultivation, Yankee
railroads and Yankee capital are badly
needed in the South, and will be welcomed
by every Southern progressive patriot. 1t is
good for the Southern people to visit the
North, if they are able to do so, and for the
Yankees to come ''Saouth" and see what a

that sort of a thing, all wise, influential,
patriotic journals will earnestly advocate it.

hyf1r Fnrk TFcffI


just before the close of commission hours
on the Sixth Avenue Elevated Road Friday,
handsomely woman stepped up to
the ticket-box. Several men came rushing
p behind her to catch q train that had just
come up to the station, but 1t was Of no USE.
The lady laid three bundles and her umbrella
on the ticket-stand, unbuttoned her water
proof, lifted up her long oyerskirt, and, after
fumbIing about for more than a minute,
drew out her pocket-book. It had u compli-
Gated clasp, and she had to remove one glove
before she could open it.
'Please step to one side, madam, and let
these gentlemen pass" said the ticket agent.
- have my fare now. sir, and l guess 1
have a right to My turn,'' she replied as she
at last opened her pOcket-bOok and laid four
pennies On the counter.
The fare is five cents, ma'am. Please
step aside until your change is ready, and
then will give you your ticket She did not
move. She,gathered up her pennies, unclasped
an inner compartment OF her pocket-book,
and handed out 4 S5 bill. Another train was
just reaching the station, and the ticket agent
handed her the ticket and change in m in
slant, and less politely than before asked her
to move on quickly, so as TO give the score of
men behind her chance BY this time she
was very nervous aud excited, and half the
silver change dropped to the floor. She
picked Up her change, replaced her pocket

HOW lie WAS CURED.


Mfr. Jones was sick, and Mrs. Jones was
nearly worried to death about him. The
night before he had been kept out late on
business. and in the morning he woke with
a dreudful headache, throbbing pulse, and
m incohcrency of speech that was very
alarming, Mrs. Jones at once insisted upon
sending for her doctor, new one whom
Jones had never met. She felt sure that Dr..
Steele could cure him if he were not already
past mortal aid.
It was all one to Jones; he was awfully
sick: and, although he would have preferred
\ two-syIlabled doctor that lie knew, he told
his wife to send for Stecle,-or the under
taker.-he didn't care much which Of them
came, "Oh-oh-oll!' and he Topped over and
pulled the bed-clotlles over his head.
Perhaps lie fell asleep again, but hand
removing the quilt from his face brought
him back to mundane things, and before he
