Family Love.

If there is anything which make life
worth the living it is to be one of an
affectionate family. Strange to say,
however, most people could really
count up the really nice families they
know-the family, that is, in which
there is not only a tender care for each
other, but an unsellish department aud
kindly interest always manifested by
every member of the home circle tow
ard every other fellow member. The
daughters will always fetch their
mothers anything she may want, and
brush their brothers top coats and hats
for them ere the male members of the
house start off for their work in the
morning. The Lads, TOO, will often
take their sisters for a walk, a pay
them little attentions which cost
nothing and mean a great deal, This
is the household into which h young
man who wants good wife will do
well and wisely to marry. There may
not be much show a5ouJ the girls, but
he will find they are affectionate, and
their dispositions stand the test OF wear.
1t Is easy enough TO fall 10 love with a
girl when she Is arrayed for a party, size
feels the flush and pleasure CT the fun.
Wien life deepens and darkens, how
ever, and little family worries come in,
a man wants something more than a
pretty drawing-room ornament for a
wife; he neeis a real, goo l-hearted,
honest womauly soul and helpmate.

he is one of the most playful, snowy

to try this with your birds, so Will

Just within reach of the bird, He VIII

lie took hold of that string. AS soon as
he gave a little jerk the bell rang, Then
I gave him a piece of bread, After a
few days he found he would get some
thing when he pulled that string Then
| kept the string out of the cage and
would put it down where ne could
reach it, only when / would feed him.
Now he will ring the bell as soon as |
offer him anything, and seems to know
what the bell Is for. Had no idea he
would learn in SO short a time, but he
IS very tame and that made it easier.

time and patience to teach him.

About India.

y traveller IN India says the account
made by the Oldest and best informed
| of my native acquaintance land | am
not talking here of Bengal dema gogues,
! but of men holding It may be or who
have held high Off ,e under Government
and deSeryedly trusted by it) of tile
gradual estrangement which has come
about within their recollection between
themselves ami the English in India, is
most instructive. In the days, they
say, of their youth, 80 and 40 years ago,
though there were always among the
company'5 officers men who from their
abuse of power were dislike and just
ly feared, the general fealing Of the ma
tiyeS toward tine English civilian WAS
one of respect and even of affection.
The Indian character is affectionate,
is enthusiastic, and inclined to hero
worship; and the English in early days,
from their superior knowledge AMI
strength of character, exercised no
little fascination on the native mind.
Nearly all of the older men talk with
reverence and esteem of certain teach
ers who Instructed them in youth, and
of certain early patrons to whom they
owed their success in after life and
they willingly acknowledge the intlu-
ence exercised over themselves and
their generation by such individual eX-
ample. The English official Of that
day, they affirm, had more power than
now, but he exercised 1t with greater
responsibility. and so of honor in its
discharge. He took pains 10 know the
people, and, in fact, he knew them well.
Except in the very highest ranks Of the
service he was readily accessible. He
lived TO great extent among the peO.
pie and according TO The customs of
the people. lie did not disdain to make
friends with those of the better class,
and occasionally he married among
them, or at least contracted semi-matri-
monial relations with tine women of the
land. This may have Tad its ill cJnSt-
quences in otner ways, but it broke
down the hedge of caste prejudice
between East and West, and gave the
official personal interest in the people,
which no mere sense of duty, however
elevated, could supply. The English
man of that day looked upon India not
unfrequently as his second home. ard
taking the evil with the good, treated it
as such. England could only be reach
ed by the Cape route. Travelling was
tedious and expensive, the mails few
and far between, and many a retired
officer had at the end of his service be-
come so welded to the land Of hIsadop-
tion that he ended his days i'll it in pref
erence to new expatriation. 1t is
easy TO understand from this that the
Anglo-ln official of the company's
days loved India in way that no
Queens official dreams of diving now.
Also that, loving it, he served it better
than now, and was better loved in re-
turn

Notes Concerning BrfneuIiGs.

Instead OF being so many graceful
ornaments at the marriage ceremony,
as nowadays, the bri iemaids Ia oil Zen
times had various duties assigned to
them. Thus one sf the prjncipls tasks
was dressing the bride on her Wedding
morning, when any omission in her
toilet was laid 10 their charge. At a
wedding. too. where 1t was arranged
that the bride should be followed by ID
numerous train OF her lady friends, it

VAS also expected 10 see that each
bridemaid was net only provided with q
sprig of rosemary, or q h0ral pOsy
pinned to the brelStfolds of her dress,
but had q symbolical ch9plet IL her
hand. In many pIrtS of G. srmany it is
still customary for tue briiemaid4 to
bring the myrtle wreath, which they
have subscribed together to purchase
on the nuptial eve, TO the house of the
bride, and tn remove it frOu Ter head at
the close Of the wedding day. Alter

cOrdance with an Old belief, whoever
she crowns Is sure to I've married within
a year from that date. As NAV be
imagined this cermony Is the source of
no small excitement, each bridemaid
being naturally anxiodS TO follow the
example Of the bride. L fefring once

1t is still current notion IN many parts
of our own country that the bride in
re owing these must take special care
that her bndemaids throw agay every
pin. Not only is it I illi -med that ms
fortune will oyertake the bride who
retains even Que pin used in her mar

maids If they keep any cf them as their
prospects Of marriage will be thereby
materially lessened.
