RAIsnD THE RENT. old Rob Key
worth is one of the hardest landlords. Jim
Groce lives in one Of Keyworths houses
and is a very good tenant, while the land
lord has never yet had dollars worth Of
repairs done TO the house. Not long since
Jim went to Keyworth and told him
want you TO have that house painted.
l am paying twenty dollars month, and
you ought TO have it done.
Keyworth refused, so Gross had IL done
at his own expense. Az soon as the paint
ing was over old Keyworth raised the rent
10 s25 a month.
Why do you raise the rcnt7 asked Jim.

ATTACHMENT TO NEWSPAPERS. Some one
who seems to know about the relation OF q
good newspaper to the family, writes as
follows;
"The strong attachment OF subscribers
to well-conducted newspapers is fully con-
firmed by publishers. Stop my paper,
words of dread to beginners in business,
lose their terror after paper has been
established for term Of years. So long
as paper pursues a just, honorable and
judicious course, meeting the wants OF its
customers 10 all respects, the ties OF friend
ship between the subscribers and the pa
per are as hard to break by m outside
third party as the link which binds old
friends in business or social life. Occas-
ionly defects and errors in . newspaper
arc overlooked by those who have become
attached to il, though its persual. for years
They sometimes become dissatisfied with
it on account OF something which has
slipped into its columns, and may stop
taking it; but the absence Of the familiar
sheet at their homes and offices for few
weeks becomes an insupportable privation,
and they hasten to take it again, and pos
sibly apologize for having it stopped. No
is more constant than that con-
tracted by the reader for journal which
makes an honest and earnest effort TO merit
its continued support. Hence conscien-
Iiously conducted paper becomes favor
te in the family"

Thomas Hughes on England and Amer
ica.

As to the question Of patriotism, speak
ing now for myself alone, must say il
seems to me that the most patriotic thing
an Englishman can do just now is to help
drawing as close as possible the bonds
which unite his country to the United
States. Unhappily, as / think, the imper-
ial or anti Continental policy las believe
it is called b Canada is not working
in this direction. The determination OF
both political parties in the Dominion to
construct at an enormous cost the long Sec
tion OF the Canada Pacific Railroad to the
north OF Lake Superior can bear but one
Interpretation, involving the possibility in
the future of hostilities between the two
countries. An Englishman's first wish
should bo to make this impossible, and /
do not know how he can do this bettsr
than by sending all that can be spared OF
our best blood into the United States.
The objection to the policy here takes
many shapes, but is really founded on
jealousy OF the growing power and pros.
perity OF the United States, and fear lest
they should outstrip England in other
ways as decisively as they have already
done in the extent OF their homo territory.
Such jealousy may be allowed 10 bo nntu-
raj, but neither wise nor dignifed. We
do not admire a father wincing at the sue
cess Of his son, who has built up for him
self bigger business than the old frm, or
has acquired more acres than are number
ed in the paternsl estate. Why should
We regard as patriotic in nation what is

And again, speaking for myself only,
am free 10 admit that the resolve arrived
at, without reference TO any but economi-
cal considerations 10 make the experiment
in Southern State was particularly vel
come. What VIC English want, looking 10
the future, is, not only that England
and America be fact friends, but that the
feeling OF union in the States themselves
should be developed as soundly and rapid-
ly as possible--that all wounds should be
healed, and ali breaches closed. finally and
the sake Of our race and Of

At meeting Of the Ladies Bcneyolen
Society, held the other day, il was rcsoly
ed that committee of four ladies be AZ
pointed 10 canvass for donations, and II
the course Of their peregrinations thi
committee yesterday dropped int
Mr. WiIham's Office. He received. and
after the usual formaiities one Of them be
gan:
"Mr. wirham, We are asking aid FOL

"Ahl yes. Boneyolenee is bump

"We are.

"That's very proper | presume their

The women looked at each other in a
sly way. and then at him, and one OF
them said:
"Ws shall bc happy for any contribu-
ton.
"Ye'm, yss'm. You don't want this
contribution for your own families, eh?
"No sirr' answered four voices in
chorus.
"Well, / am somewhat inclined to be-

old account Of S26 against Mr.. Il know

One Of the canvassers turned red, white
and blue and looked out Of the window.
That was her husband, but Wixham did
not know it.
"And yesterday | found poor, forlorn-
looking little boy out here crying with
hunger and cold. He said his name was

Another woman suddenly looked out
II the window, and her pulse ran up to
20 minute, but WiIhAm was as inno-
ent as lamb of any knowledge that it
vas her boy.
"Then you won't aid us2" queried the
pokesman.
"Oh, yes, certainly | will was simp-

Lets see. / want to give you all can
pare M.-on-street, owes me four

rider on him for 800"
The four women rose up. They rushed
a solid body for the door. They
rent out in a heap. Some were rod and ,
ONE were pale, and all mad. They tried
0 speak, but they couldn't, and as they
astened to get away from each other,
Vixham held up the half written order
nd gasped; .
"How very, very singular Perhaps
