DEAR YoUNG Folks ! am not dead
nor sleeping, but have had my of eye
on yOu.hil the time, 10 see II you could
get on without my humble aid. 1t is
pleasant to know that no II pctson'S
correspondence is necessary 10 the sue
cess oi our column / have watched thls
one and that one drop ont, and would
think. well, the column will come up

But mol so correspondents may COME
| and 20, but somewhat like the beautiful
brook OF which the great poet, T%ennyson,
sings 80 sWectly, the column goes on,
and let US hope hat it, like the brook,
may go on forever" During my long
rest ! have been thinking much OF the
wlims and fancies Of the fair seX and
how they let their leap year chances like
"sunbeams pass them by" ! think leap
year il a grand fraud and believe II !
wait for the girls TO pop the question,
your obcdicnt servant will die an un-
loved and crusty old bachelor. 50, please
take fair warning, rs the auctioneer says,
for after Dec. let, 1884, ! shall receive no
such proposals. From then on | will SO
il ON my own hook, and hope Ia meet
with better luck. Two or three OF or
lovely writers did give me some pretty
plain hints, but that isn't the thing. If
they mean it they must come right 10
the point and say something like
"Roscs arc red,
Niolets are blue,
Sugars sweet,
And ~ are you"
/ am glad 10 see SO many Of the young
folks standing faithful to the column,
and also that recruits come In to I'LL the
places Of deserters. We all ought ~
stand together to the end, for should
this column fail. II would be no credit to
us but, rs the girls say, quite the re-
verse" | heard n use these words ~
a composition on The Duty Of Man.
And much do they know about such q
, thing. / send kind words OF greeting Il

THE WAR IN ToNQUIN.
Sontay Taken With Reckless Loss of Life.

Hone KONG, Dec. 31.-I have just re-
ceived from Halphong further particulars of
the affair at Sontay. The total French loss
was 500; enemies loss not known. There
was nothing to prevent the attack being
made In the rear of the citadel. and nothing
dene to avoid loss attending the direct as
sault in front, where succeeding lines could
mutually protect each other. The Turcos
behaved like madmen one company of 140
men threw themselves upon the intrench-
ments despite the order of their officers, wi o,
seeing men so wild, rushed in front and led
them TO destruction. Only twenty men and
one officer escaped. After the intrenchment
had been taken, the enemy evacuated Sontay,
on the night of the 10th. The French
entered next morning with their guns shout
dered.
Admiral Courbet does not intend to follow
up his victory by an attack upon Bacninh
until he has received reinforcements, which
cannot arrive before the rainy season again
approaches. Thus all advantage of the re-
cent victory will be lost. Tricou left Haip-
hong OH the Goth, together with DIR. Harmand
and his staff. The latter proceeded directly
to France. Tricou will stop at Hue, to
secure the ratification by the new King of
Harmand's treaty of the 25th of August. In
the meantime the poor Tonquinese suffer
from both sides. The French Government
affords no protection against the robbers who
pillage and burn villages which cannot pro-
tect themselves, as they have been disarmed
for more than twenty years. Each expedi-
ton into the country reveals devastation on
all sides, villages robbed and burned, pago-
das destroyed, and people suffering from the
pangs of hunger and terror. If they declare
openly for the French, they are extermina-
ted by Harmand's mandaiins, ordered from
Hue. If they are indifferent, their property
is destroyed and sacked by French reconnoi-
tering parties. Whatever troops approach
them they suffer, and wbenfne soldiers are
near they are oppressed by the mandarins.
