WHO HE WAS.

One of the book-keepers for Detroit
lumber firm was recently sent to the
north woods to transact business for his
employers. He is man of good mind
and strong limb. and has hung about
gymnasiums long enough to get up his
muscle and understand how to strike
from the shoulder. He reached camp
belonging to another firm just at noon
one day, and all but one of the loggers
gave him hearty welcome. This one
man seemed out of sorts and bent on
mischief. After throwing out repeated
slurs and insults he boldly said /:
stranger, I've been aching for
whole week past to put some one in my
vest pocket
This was turned off in pleasant
manner. but the logger persisted
"Ive got great hankering to play
pitch and toss with you, and if you don't
run before | finish my dinner, I'm going
to heave you over the shanty few
times"
The Detroiter didn't run worth a
cent. When he saw that a fuss was
inevitable, he removed his watch ard
pin and shed his overcoat. and was in
first rate trim when the logger was ready
to heave away. AS the bully came for
ward he was neatly knocked down. He
got up with a grin and went down again.
The third time he got up he sat down
on log to collect his ideas. and when
they had returned to him, he carefully
approached the Detroiter. and said:
"Mebbe you are presidin' elder?"
"No."
Regular preacher ?"
"No."
"Clrcuit rider %
"No."

GARFIELD'S WORDS.

words have been adhered to as closely as possible.
deed that was shameless and gory,-
An agony scorning all sign -
Says the hero in whom we all glory,
'Keep heart. friends have not lost mine"
The pulse of the nation is beating
In that chamber where death hovers nigh,
But 'the heart of the people is in it,
And will not let the old soldier die."
Oh ye who for comfort craving
From the sufferers lips comes the sound,
any friends, if man is worth saving
He may sink, but he'll never be drowned"
"Let us smile in the dark face of danger"
"And hasten to summon our pluck;
For pound of that homely old virtue
Is worth more than whole ton of luck"
'There's chance? Then we'l take it." Don't worry
"For the upper story's all right;
1t is only the hull that is shattered
We may patch it up yet for the fight"
"For the noblest man that is living
conflict with wrong still remains;''
"Doing right would rather be beaten,
Than do wrong and be loaded with gans"
"'Ts mystery precious of sorrow
To find solace in unselfish thought"
sand the worst days Of darkness are lightened
By good deeds which for others are wrought"

Can be lost; and love to believe
That men are inspired and nodded
By the records their forefathers leave"

That the darkness was part of the leading
Toward the nobler existence to be-"
"For this world ofits history checkered
Is weaving poem divine.
In which each nations deeds form a canto,
And every mans life is line.
Down the ages its strains have been pealing
With dscords of death and of war;
But through all runs the melody heartsome
Of halcyon days yet in store"

FRETFULNESS.

Some fretful people vince at every touch;
You always do too little or too much.
You speak with life. hoping to entertain;
Your elevated voice goes through their brain!
You fall at once into a lower key;
That's worse-the drone-pipe of a bumblebee!
The southern sash admits too strong light;
You rise and drop the curtain; now It's nightl
He shakes with cold; you stir the fire and strive
To make blaze; that's roasting him alive!

A demonstration OF the industrial classes
in favor of the preservation of home indus
tries and protection Of national labor against
unfair foreign competition, took place at
Exeter Hall last night. Mr. Borthwick,
proprietor Of the Morning Post, presided.
Delegates were present from the work
iDgmen's socities of Bristol, Birmingham,
Liverpool, Leeds, Hull, Glasgow aud else
where. The Chairman condemned free
trade, and said France had made the great
est advances during the last twenty years,
America next, while, England was poor
third. He advocated duty of a shilling
and q quarter on all imported corn.
Commander Cameron, the African ex
plorer and author, in supporting the re-
solution for the imposition of such revenue
duties as will enable British manufacturers
and workmen to compete on fair footing
with foreigners in British home markets,
said that President Garfield had stated that
protection was necessary for America, and
he thought IL that was so with a young
country and virgin soil it was necessary to
England. The resolution was adopted and
forwarded to the government and to the
leaders OF the opposition.
Says the Paris correspondent of the Times:
'M. Barthelemy st. Hilaire, Minister of
Foreign Affairs, evinces the best Intentions
in order to smooth away difficulties in the
way of an understanding in regard to the
commercial treaty between France and
England, while Earl Granville, the British
Foreign Secretary, is not less desirous of
arriving at a conclusion. The first results OF
these efforts will probably be that the
three months prolongation asked for by
England will be accorded"
