and there remained liquid resembling

LUCK OF ONE DAYS FISHING.

One morning. when spring was in her teens
morn TO poets wishing
All tinted In delicate pinks and green's
Miss Bessie and went fishing.
In my rough and easy clothes, Hf
With my face at the sunshine's mercy:
She with her hat tipped down TO her nose
And her nose upped-vice versa
with my rod. my reed and my hooks,
And hamper for lunehing recesses;
She with the bait of her comely looks
And the seine Of her golden tresses
SO We sat down on the sunny dyke,
Where the white pond-lilies teeter,
And went TO fishing like quaint old Ike,
And she like Simon Peter
All the noon lay IN the light of her eyes,
And dreamily watched and waited,
But the fish were cunning and would not rise
And the batter alone was baited.
And when the time for departure came
The bag was fiat as founder,
But Bessie had nearly hooked her game,

Home Influences.
Mrs. 6 ID. Rice

1t was Napoleon who said that the char
acter and fate of the child was the work of
the mother. Largely this is true, though
not in a sense to exclude the influence of
the father, especially in the case of boys.
The child is often left to the mothers
care. A double duty is hers: to that which
God gave is added that which man shifted
upon her, and with her rests the whole work
of preparing her child for the grave
encounters of life. In how many homes
does a mothers intercourse with her chill
dren alternate between caressing indulgence

The lads needed the request, and in turn re-

children, love one another" etc. The teach

PeaccabIe EvictIons In Ireland.

London, July 1.-The Mitchellstown
evictions to-day passed off without any
trouble, being carried out by strong
column of military and police. Trees
had been felled across the road in two
places, which necessitated the assist
ance of q small body of Royal engi-
neers which were present. The doors
of some of the tenants had to be forced
and in every case the rent was paid on
the spot. All the tenants were on the
estate Of the countess of Kingston.
After the troops had returned to town
two companies of police marched up
Main street with the object Of dispers-
ing q large crowd which had gathered
in the street, and there was some stone
throwing and constables used their
batons freely. Resident magistrate,
Mr.. Eaton, in person went up and
down street warning people, and the
colonel commanding the troops sent
down word that he would send them
out il desired. This offer Mr.. Eaton
wisely declined. Had the soldiers come
out many lives might have been lost.
As it was there were only few broken
heads. All the windows on the street
were crowded with shop girls who
seemed to thoroughly enjoy the little
excitement. All the public houses
have been closed during the day with

Albany, July 1.-The attention of
the stalwarts all evening has been con-
centrated on the Platt scandal and its
relations to their canvass. They have
held no formal conference, but there
has been informal discussions of the
subject at their headquarters in the

them have participated. Platt and his
personal friends are positive and per-
smptory In denouncing the whole scam

the following details of the recent CEN
sus of Ireland. In some districts in
Connaught and Munster, whole villages
are almost depopulated. In all the
villages the population has been terri
bly, rhinned out, and in west Cork, on
the vast estate of the countess of Kings
ton, there are two hamlets absolutely
deserted. The little village of Knack,
county Mayo, where the Virgin Mary
is said to have appeared, contained 600
souls in 1S41. to-day, exclusive Of pill
grims, there are not thirty, all told.
Limerick returns tell a painful story Of
desolation. Trees have fallen in upon
the roofs of cabins, the market cross is
broken, and grass is growing in the
streets. In scores of places in the west
and south nearly all the young men and
women have gone to America or Eng
land, and those left to till the land are
old people, who prefer to die where
their fathers died. In some parishes
the poor house contains almost as many
people as there are outside Of 1t. The
census returns do not, however, show
the full extent of the depopulation.
At least 120,c0 agricultural Iaborers
cross to England and Scotland every
year for the harvest. They live in Ire
land, but ireland does not provide them
with their living.
