WISE WORDS.

Prosperity is a great teacher, a DIVER
sity is a greater. Possession pampers
the mind; privation trains and
strengthens it.
False friends are like Il shadow,
keeping close to us while we walk in
the sunshine, but leaving us the instant
we Gro IS into the shade.
Abook. however valuable, purchased
for the admiration Of others and con-
signed to its shelf, is the most lifeless
piece Of furniture to which we can give
ii place.
We are on a perilous margin when
we begin to look at our future selves
and see our own figures lead, with dull
consent, into insipid misdoing and
shabby achievement.
To think clearly and well is the first
st p to knowing anything, and, until
that has been taken, all others are use
less. Equally in the work we perform,
in the business w. manage, in the
various duties of domestic, so ial and
political lif,, and in the knowle lge we
gain or the opinions we hold, is the
art of thinking we'll essential.
Earn your own bread, and see how
sweet it will be Work, and see how
we'll you will be! Work, and see how
cheerful you will be Work, and see
how independent you will he! Work,
and see how happy your family will
be Work, and see how religious you
will be flor, before you know Where
you are, instead of repining at Provi-
dence, you will find yourself offering
up thanks for all the numerous bless
ings you enjoy.

An Irish Farm Ten Feet Wide.

Whenever anyone ventures to suggest
that the Irish are ill-treated by their land
lords, the reply is that the tenants insist
upon squatting upon land which cannot
maintain them, and that their ejectment
is an act of kindness. Mrs. Hart, in an
appeal for help in the daily papers, thus
describes the position of the tenants on
an estate belonging to Captain Hill, and
where baliff is collecting rents and serY-
ing ejectment processes. The estate con-
sists of bog, rock or sand. Some of the
farms are in strips not more than ten
feet wide, running from the bog to the
shore; others have been reclaimed from
the bog. Building, draining and ditching
have been done by the tenants unaided.
Some years ago $4,000 acres of mountain
commonage grazing, which had from time
immemOrial belonged to the tenants, were
taken away from them, and the rent of the
''farms" have been raised from 94O0 to
nearly e, 200 per annum. Whilst Captain
Hill Is pressing for rents, hundreds of his
tenants are being kept from actual star

BUTTERFLIES OF THE BEACH.
Scenes that Mortified Even Newspa-

per Correspondent.
long BrG1s,'A Letter IN the Albany Journal
The circus to be seen on the beach here
is worth going ten times the distance to
see. ''ln Europe, don't you know" said
a British observer, 1.-THE ladies are pushed
down the sand and into the water in COW
cred lighthouses on wheels, so that
there's no exposure; but here" A
sweep of his hand, taking in the
whole scene on the beach, was his
finish of the sentence. A hundred or
more men and women, clad as for the
ring, were postUred on the beach, as truly
for exhibition as though they had not been
nonchalantly chatting, and as many more
were frolicklng in the water, turning
somersaults into the incoming break
ers, swimming and floating, playing tricks
on each other, and in various ways max
ing the most remarkable entertainment
ever given without money and without
price. But in this, as in most sports. the
best efforts Of amateurs are eclipsed by
professional achievements.
Two actresses made their appearance
in garb that the most daring of the other
women could not even contemplate with
out expressing ScOrn-Or was some of it
envy? Mary Prescott came first, wearing
two pairs of stOckings-One the exact
color of her barred arms, and over these
some red socks, so that the impression
given at a glance was that her limbs were
bare. Then she in turn was outdone by
Etelka Berry in no skirts at all, but en-
cased skin-tight in bodice, trunks and
hose of knitted stuff. She lay for an hour
fiat on the sand, and long before the end
of that time was the focus of hundreds of
staring eyes. Although admiration might
have been detected in some of this gazing,
the comments We're wholly unfavOrable.
The women were especially severe in their
remarks, and so loud that Berry could
not have failed to hear some of the con-
demnatiOn.
Il DECLARE" exclaimed voice Just

founded, for she was a girl attired quite
as sparingly, except that a skirt barely
covered her hips. f|She was the centre of
