Courtship at a Long Range.

A comical matter has been made pub
lie in Montreal by some legal proceed
ings. A retired major of the British
army had four daughters who moved in
good society in that city. They all en-
tered into correspondence with a re-
tired clergyman of London, whose mind
was somewhat enfeebled, but who en-
joyed an income of $15, 900. The let
ters became sentimental all round, and
at length the man proposed marriage.
But which of the four should he take?
He had never seen any of them, and it
was arranged that each of them should
send photograph to guide him in his
choice. Now, the Oldest was widow
of forty-five, and therefore the younger
and prettier ones were astounded when
the decision was promptly announced
that their sister was to be the bride.
The truth was that she had employed
an artist to remove the hard lines and
otherwise beautify the picture. But
this trick did not help her. When she
went to London and presented herself
to the clergyman he could see no like
ness between her and the fraudulent
portrait, and refused to marry her. He
gave her So, ZOO, however, and she went
home. But she does not consider that
sum sufficient compensation, and has
sued for damages.

Miss Diantha stood by the grave
until the last shovelfur of earth had
been lain on. then turned and walked
home, stopping for a moment at the
village store. When Miss Althea and
Lucinda returned her door was shut,
and no sound Yves heard from the room
until next morning. But as they made
preparations for tea Miss Althea saw
that the three teapots and caddies had
been removed, and that an earthen one
and tin caddy filed with Orange Pekoe
stood on the lower shelf, and knew that
by this sign Miss Diantha had spoken,
and renounced her will once for for all.
Years followed. Lucinda fingered,
unchanged in look, and clinging more
and more to Miss Althea, who had aged
suddenly when Chloe died, and who
made continued efforts to break Miss
Diantha's silence. But though a GER
tain wistfulness seemed at times to
show itself, she only, when appealed to-,
shook her head solemnly, and retreated
to her room. What secrets the old
walls knew, who can tellP What sor-
row and late repentance But none
knew till q morning came when,
alarmed by the long silence, Miss Althea
went in to find her with wide-open eyes,
but powerless to move from the floor
where she had fallen. In the open
drawer of the old bureau lay Miss
Ohloe's Bible, the worn volume of Mrs.
Hemans, and near them the broken
fragments of the three teapots, each in
a folded napkin.
A week Of quiet waiting, and then in
the hours between night and morning
Miss Diantha suddenly lifted her head,
ST thought you'd come, Chloe" she
said, and with the words was gone.
When her will was opened they
found, first, legacy of one thousand
dollars "to Hiram Steele and wife for
kindness to my sister Chloe" and then
an order that on the plain tombstone
erected for her should be simply the
words: "Diantha Templeton, aged
seventy-three Il was dumb. Iopened
not my mouth for shame.'"
And so at last people knew that the
scorn and indignation, never quite lost
even in the long years since Miss
| Chloe's death, had been accepted as
just punishment, and that Miss Dianths
had known sorrow, and left this las
message of tacit confession and repent
ance.-Hdyper's BGzGr.

How Much a Cow Eats.

A COW is not inclined to gIuttony
Usually when the appetite is satisfied a
COW will stop eating. Any cows appe-
tite may be gauged in this way: Give
her all the feed she will eat and have
left. Weigh what is given to her and
notice what is consumed. Then make
the ration three.fourths of the quantity
eaten. No animal, not even a man,
should have all it can eat, and the sur
plus above what is necessary is injuri-
Gus, and produces disease. Generally
more harm is done by over-eating than
by starving. The staple ration for q
COW is fifteen pounds of hay and five
pound of neal, or the equivalent in
other food. As grass or green fodder
contains seventy-fve per cent. more
water thsn hay, four times as much
grass or green fodder should be given
in place Of hay; that is, sixty pounds
with the meal. Some COWS will proba-
bly, require more and very few less than
this quantity.

Origin Of "Ta.ta., ,,

For several years American para
graphers have been using the old
South ern expression, "ta-ta," as term
of humorous farewell, thus giving it a
meaning entirely different from that it
started out in life with; and how it
ever came to be applied in that way is
little surprising to any one to the
Southern 'manner born" and espe-
cially to any one familiar with the idioms
of the South of ante-bellum days.
No one who was ever petted, loved
and spoiled by kind old black ''mam-
my" can ever forget that "ta-ta, in
baby dialect, is ''thank you, or, to give
an exact definition from our unwritten
vocabulary, "thanky.S They can never
forget mammy's coaxingly reproving
tones, nor her ''churchy," when, in cor
recting some childish forgetfulness, the
omission of thanks for some slight ia
vor, the gift of an apple, or perhaps q
stalk of sugar cane, she would say,
Honey, where's yo' manners? Whyn't
yo' say 'ta-ta p" For a more valuable
present her words would have been !:
''Tell the lady you're much obleeged," I"
or " obliged" II she happened to be a
little careful in her pronunciation, as
many house servants were; but for all
trihing gifts "ta-ta was the popular
term for the little folks. Of course as
the children grew larger this pet way
of expressing thanks was laid aside with
their baby clothes; and the "churohy
that nanny had taught them--a funny
substitute for bow, consisting only in
a sudden bending of the knees, which
caused comical dip down and up-was
put away with the iingling rhymes Of
early childhood.
"Ta-ta" belongs exclusively to the
little ones; it is as peculiarly their own
as are "catty cats and this little pig
went to market and all those other
wonderful things belonging to child
life. To the great world ta-ta' is
nothing but a ludicrous expression;
but to many OF us there is something
half touching, half comical, in the
quaint old words that bring back SO
Yiyidly the days when We planted
raisin seeds, rode stick horses, believed
in giants, knew that the fairies wers
hiding in the ferns and thatpots Of gold
we're awaiting us at the end Of the rain

The Frog and the Lily.

In arching woods of pine and oak,
Through which the cheerful sunlight broke,
A pond long lay, by soft winds swept,
And on it's bosom lilies slept.

OF fhomely frog and lily-bell.

Twas in the summer month of June.
When robin chirped his merry tune.
That lily spoke to frog so free:
"Oh, could 1 only leap like thee
But here am so still and lone, ~
And dull as any old white stone.
III.
The frog then said to lily fair:
"Just zee me jump so high n arr
But down ls saaIs INTO the

man caught froggy by the throat,
And threw him in the fatal boat.
The lily plucked by maiden fair,
Was placed upon her golden hair.
MORAL
The richest man may lose his gain,
The poorest one may rise to fame;
Be not puffed up with self-deceit
The boaster always courts defeat;
Nor proudly say what you can do,
But be modest, gentle, pure and true.

POII,s POLICY.

The mystery of the skill of some ami
mails seem to resist all solution. The
word " instinct, Lord Brougham de-
clared, was a mere term for our ignor-
ance. The parrot at time astounds the
mind with It's mischievous cunning. A
lady friend of Cambridge, Mass, had a
parrot that, on a mouse climbing u p
and entering his case, made for the
little intruder. He hastened down
his chain, and searching all around,
eyed the stranger under the bookcase.
But the parrot could not get at him
there, but cried in its gentle voice,
"Come take a walk with pretty Poll
Come take a walk with pretty Poll !"

The heart that broke for me;
What patience human want can win

And in the wisdom taught Of pain
To soothe and share his woe.

When fiesh and spirit sowed in tears,
But scattered not in vain;
For trust in God and faith in man

To know Thy will is done2

THANKSGIVING DAY.
A PROCLAMATION.

It has long been the pious custom
OF our people with the closing of the
year to look back upon the blessings
brought to them in the changing
course of the seasons and to return
solemn thanks to the all-giving
source from whom they flow; and
although at this period, when the
falling leaf adnlonishes us that the
time of our sacred duty is at hand,
our nation still lies in the shadow of
great bereavement, and the mourn
| ing which has filled our hearts still
finds its sorrowful expression to-
ward the God before whom we but
lately bowed in grief and supplica-
tlon, yet the countless benefits
which have been showered upon us
during ssle past ~ elve months call
for our fervent grantitude, and max
ing it fitting that we should rejoice
with thankfulness that the Lord in
his Infinite mercy has most signally
favored our country and our people.
Peace without and prosperity with
IN have been vouchsafed to US; no
pestilence has visited our shores :;
the abundant privileges of freedom
which our fathers left us III their
wisdom, are still our increasing her
itage, and if in some parts of our
vast domain some affiiction has Wis
tied our brethren in their forest
homes, yet even this calamity has
been tempered and in manner
sanctiied by the generous compass
sion for the sufferers which has
been called forth throughout our
land. For all these things it is
meet that the voice of the nation
should go up to God in devout
homage.
Wherefore /, Chester A. Arthur,
President of the United States, do
recommend that all the people OBJ
serve Thursday, the "a day of No.
vember instant, as day of national
Thanksgiving and prayer, by ceasing
so far as they may from their secular
labors, and meeting in their several
places of worship, there to join in
ascribing honor and praise to All
mighty God, whose goodness has
ben so manifest in our history and
III our lives, and offering earnest
prayers that his bounties may con
tinue to us and to our children.
In witness whereof I have hereto
set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed Done
at the city of Washington this 4th
day Of November in the year of our
Lord 1881, and Of the independence
of the United States the one hum
