Old.Time Enizootics.

Tanks to the general use of steam in
travelling, it is comforting to reflect that
in spite of the very great ANNOYANCE and
Inconvenience caused by the horse dis
eases in recent years, particularly by the
epizootic which prevailed in the year
1872, the inconvenience to which peo-
pie are subjected nowadays in the lack
Of horses are really much less grave than
those which our ancestors had TO con-
tend with, in similar circumstances. For
our forefathers, the prevalence of se-
we're epizootic meant the cessation Of nll
travelling and transportation, whether
for long or for short distances; except
ing, of course, such service as may be
done by oxen and by men on foot Some
idea of the gravity of the situation is
suggested blythe following extracts from
an old Birmingham newspaper On
February 4, I760, notice was published
that the horses belonging to tho Bir-
mingham stage coach are so much aft
fected by the present is semper tIat pre-
walls among them, that its iournies are
obliged to be discontinued until their

Manitoba Lake

The Manitoba lake, which has given
name to the province formed out of the
Red river region, is called after small
island, whence, in the stiffness of the
night, issue strangely sweet, mysterious
sounds. The Ojibway Indians who
dwell in that neighborhood believe the
island 10 be the home OF Manitoba, the
speaking God, and will not land on or
approach it for any consideration, think
ing they would desecrate or profane it,
and that they would meet with some ter
able fate for their impiety. The sound
is caused, it has been ascortained, by the
beating Of the waves on the large peb
bles along the shore. These, with frag-
ments Of iine-grained, compact limestone
from the cliffs above, are rubbed togeth-
or by the action of the water, and give
out tone like that OF distant church
bells. This natural music is heard when
he wind blows from the north, and, rs
it subsidies, low, plaintive notes, resem-
bling voices of an invisible choir, are
heard. 1t has been compared to the
chant of the nuns at the Trinita de Mont
in Rome, with which oil travellers are
familiar. The effect is impressive.
Tourists have be u awakened at night
in the vicinity, under the impression
that chimes OF bells were ringing afar
off, and that their tones were ripping
over the lake. The mystic bells OF
Manitoba have acquired such reputa-
ton that travellers are ot satisfied until
they are heard, and often spend days
there waiting for the blowing of the
north wind. The Ojibways have NUM-
Der of poetic legends about their speak
ing God, whom they profoundly revere.

Ladies, Patches.

The beauties 81 the court of Louis
XIV. thought they had made notable
discovery when they gummed pieces Of
black talieta ON their checks to heighten
the brilliancy of their compilations. The
ladies in England had before adopted
patches, in quaint shapes, as of cres-
cent or coach and horses, etc. An epi-
gram was written:
Her patches are Of every cut,
For painpics and for sears;
Here's all the wande ipg panet6' signs,
And some ~ the txed stars
The coach and horse patch was an espe-
eial fayorita. Anstey, in bis satire,

ties; but about the beginning OF she
present century they seemed gradually

The Demon Of Speculation.

The foul d amon of speculation keeps
us all IN turmoil; society seethes and
bubbles over with the exc tement due to
the constant race for riches to the
struggling pursuit of more wealth. This
IS common to all classes. Farmers and
country jewellers ara tempted to send
their small savings to be swallowed up Ill
tue whirlpool of speculations in the cit
les, and in the vain hope of acquiring
riches that have never existed, and which
they can no more secure than they can
grasp shadow. The business man and
the man who possesses already snng
competence haste to throw their prop
erty away in the sams foolish manner
to be swallowed up in the bottomless
nav Of speculation. And so the wrecked
hopes and fortunes may be counted by
he thousands, and crime. ignominy and
wretchedness are present everywhere.
In less degree the evils of everything,
too, prevail, and men and families mourn
for want of that which they have I'M
wisely squandered and wasted in a
way that brings no solid comfort to
them.
There is no happiness in living beyond
ones means. Those who have no debts,
who pay as they go and make this their
tule, are more careful and economical
than those who buy on credit whatever
they may desire or think they need.
Buying on credit is our national bane,
IN evil which saps the foundations of our
.ocial comfort. IL keeps man in debt,
increases his expenses, makes his neces-
sites greater, and tempts him to risk his
propt rty in vain efforts to extricate HIM
self from peeuniary difficulties. 1t is
quite easy to spend what we have not I;
out a man always thinks twice before he
breaks upon smell accumulation which
he already has, and will rather add to il
than trench upon it. Therefore the habit
of saving, once created, is q safeguard
against careless spending and should be
encouraged in every legitimateand proper
way. There is an economy that is mean
end stinay but it is very easy to avoid
this fault without falling into the oppo-
site vice OF extravaganza, and to hit the
happy mean of a sensible and whole
some economy.-Rugai NeD Yorker.

"The Mad Poet"

Such was the name given TO Melon
aid Clarke, wild, eccentric writer of
verses, who lived in the city of New
York some thirty years ago. He had a
talent for improvisation, which he used
to celebrate the charms of those persons
of whom, from time to time, he became
enamored.
A volume of his poems, published by
subscription, contains IN the preface
these touching paragraphs:
81 won't poster folks with apologies.
Here's o roIgh handful Of flowers
little dirt about the roots--a tearll wash
it off !
.''If the life of my poetry is whole
some, twill breathe after the wild spirit
that inspired it has been sobered at the
terrible tribunal of eternity, and the
weak hand that traced it, long wasted TO
ashes
In one of these wild moods which
frequently came np7r him, when the will
to be sublime was IG5 sustained by the
strength, he wrote shese lines on Wash
ington:
" Eteruiiy-give him elbow room;
A spirit ike his is laTle;
Earth-fsnce with artillery his tomb,
AMI urea double charge,
To the memory Of Amerlels greatest man;
Mitch him, posterily If yoI esn."
He was regularly attendant on Sun
day church services, and in one Of his
lucid moods wrote this tender, simple
tribute to the Sabbath:
| 81 feel the happier all the week.

The pillow :. ems softer 20 my cheek

He died in the lunatic asylum on
Blackwell's Island, and was buried in
Greenwood Cemetery. Speaking Of the
arrangements he desired made for his
funeral, he said:
~ hope the children viii come. /
want to be buried by the side OF children.
