Queer Advertisements.

The second column OF the first page
of the London Times is known as the
"agony column" In it are inserted
such sad inquiries as, information

and has never been heard from since.
There, too, are to be found the pathetic
notices intended for one pair of eyes

But there are other advertisements
which make us laugh more than these
can make lis weep. Punct ntion, orthe
want of it, is responsible fer many of
the strange advertisements. lake these,
for instance:
WANTEr-A woman allie an willing to
wash iron and milk three cows.
WANTEI-i y a German girl just landed in
q private family Il situation with Or without
children.
WANTED-A comfortable room for a young
man four feet by ten.
WANTED-Boy to milk and o lawns.
A rather singular announcement ap-
peared in one of our city papers:
A large blue CT ntlcman's ovt rcoat lost in
the vicinity Of the market.

The Commercial Tourist.

A man who lives between a gripsack
and Pullman sleeper, who seldom takes
more than three successive meals in
one county, and who is known to be the
most successful commercial traveller in
the country, gave some interesting inn
pressions of travel in a recent CONVEX
sation.
During the last fifteen years." he
said, II have travelled over $50, 900
miles, or ten times around the world.
This habit of rapid and incessant mo-
ton at all hours and seasons has made
me an automaton. The ordinary opera
ton Of buying tickets, eating when I
can get food, and sleeping in any posi-
ton, lying, standing, or sitting down,
are purely mechanical with me. If I
stay off the road any length of time my
mind becomes, as it were, side tracked.
1 cannot check my conversational bag
gage through from subject to subject,
but lose myself in all sorts of vagaries
and delusions. I know this sounds alb
surd, but in a city where 1 have been
Detained on business over a certain
length of time I have actually ridden
fifty miles into the country and back
again, simply to compose my thoughts.
OF course I feel the thralldom Ct such
a life, and would like to escape from
it, but I shall always remain a wander

my penance is ended. The most curl

pared this feeling of mine with others
of my fellow-travelers) the temptation

the money in his pocket, and was about

remarked:

"Why, he amt my son. Ihavn't got

The two had the middle of the street
and we're rather enjoying the prom

ed that city life vas too rich for his

tracks and braced his fore feet Of q
sharp angle. The woman kept on her
way for q minute, and when the strain
came she heightened that calf's neck
by six inches. It was nc go. however.
Sic br,ced and he braced. She pulled
and spa.led. By and by he began to

along for q yard or two. when she sat
down and got her foot against the
s~treet-car rail. It was now time for
spectators to tender their sympathies
and advice, and remarks began to come
in.
Hold to him, old woman-you've
got the bulge!' /,
"Shut your eyes and you'll fetch him!"
"Fish on your line-pull him I'M"
Along came a grocery wagon, and
the hub of q wheel rubbed the calf. He
jumped clear off the ground and took a
h~alf-circle around the woman, pulling
her over on her side. No n offered
any assistance, and when q coming

she scrambled up and got a neck hold
on the calf. He at first broke down and
began to bawl, but suddenly took heart
and made a run for the sidewalk, drag

her to pinch his ears, throw him down.

a strain to bear on the rope as to fling
her down again. It was now a ques-

the street, but, when the strain had con-

LOVE AND LARCENY IN CANADA.
Flight Of . Methodist Divine with $4,000
and Another Mans Wife.

MONTREAL, June 11.-Thomas Craig, an
Englishman, and an agent who has been in
the employment for the past eighteen
months of Willis & Co., agents for the
Wanzer sewing machines, has decamped
with So, 900 of his employers money and
the handsome wife of another man living at
Point st. Charles.
When Craig was a local preacher in the
Primitive Methodist Church he a held in
high esteem by his congregation, which
esteem was still more enhanced by the fact
that he sold them pianos, organs and sew
ing machines at r~idiculously low prices. 1t
appears that he gave only a portion OF the
receipts to his employers, pretending that
his customers were poor and would pay but
small sums at a time.
His employers, who attended his church
for some time, had implicit faith in him, as
he preached SO eloquently, and they even
stated publicly in the Witness, the only re-
ligious daily in the world, that they were
glad to be associated with such q man.
They suggested, however, that. as he was
too full ofChristian charity and compassion
to compel ~delinquents to pay up, they
would send around their own collector.
Craig, therefore, suddenly left for Boston.
All his customers were communicated with
and in every case they had Craig's receipt
