LONDON, July 29.-In the House of Com mons tonight MT. Callan's motion to cen sure John Bright for his remarks at the Spencer banquet was debated. MT.

MANS WHITE WORLD,

At our window on the hill,
Sometimes talking, sometimes still.
Sat my little girl and |,
Looking on the wintry sky:
While the breath of frosty air
Swung the naples brown and bare,
And across the valley rolled
All the moonlight'S wealth of gold.
Touching with Il wOndrOus glow
Hill and valley clad in snow.
Winters two and summers three.
Wise baby could not be,
SO she whispered there that night:
What makes all the world so white?
OF the moOnlightS and the cold
And the snowy world told
Now the world seems white to you,
Little Nan with heart so true,
And the rays of wonder throw
Only glory on the snow.
Yet beyond those mountains tall
Long black shadows eastward fall.
When my darling lies asleep
Der the world those shadows creep.
Soon enough the gold is lost
In the shadow and the frost.
But your fathers arms divide
Warmth within from cold outside.
Long we can not linger stin
At our window on the hill;
For your baby footsteps go
Soon enough across the snow.
BY what trouble, at what cost,
Shall your own white world be lost7
lrOuDle cOlneS-On, come IL will
In some valley deep and chill;
BY iwb mountain. in Wh& snOt
II shall meet you, know no,
: BY what shadows overcast
Shall the glory go at last.
/ When the shadows eastward fan:-
Father, father" you may cali;
When the bitter tears shall rain
YOu may call and call in vain.
IN your trouble, if ] hear,
| shall come and help you, dear;
Though my lips he Silent-though
Underneath the cruel snow;
Though in vain you call to me
Whe.'e your straying feet may be:
Yet your Father watches still
At His window, on His hill;
Warmth within from cold outside
Shall His love indeed provide.

A Novel Traffic.

The cowboys here, writes a Midland,
(Tex) correspondent, in the good
weather are doing little business on
their own account by killing wolves
with strychnine for their hides, The
hides they send to Chicago, getting a
fair return for them. A New York
woman, who came out here to keep a
hotel, with her husband, has started up
an interest in curlews' wings which are
fashionable adornments for ladies hats,
and the cowboys are killing curlews
now by the score. The curlew is album
dant on the staked plains, and their
wings, which are brownish green, with
splashes of dark brown and green, are
very good backgrounds in millinery for
few more brilliant feathers. The cur
lew nests in the prairies by scraping up
some dry grass under a tuft of gramma
grass They drop four eggs into the
nest, and it is as rare as TO discover a
four-leaf clover to find a nest where the
four small ends of the eggs are not to-
gether. The curlews' wings bring ten
cents pair here.-MidIdnd, fIer }

An Eastern paper says that a fruit grower in an adjoining coun- ty two years ago drove several large iron spikes into very old apple tree that for years had been nearly barren. Last year it was filed with fine large apples, and this year the blossoms were plen- tiful enough to promise a good supply of fruit. The owner be- heves that the spikes restored to the tree its original prolific quail ties, and he is now trying the ex- pertinent on other trees in his orchard. And we believe that the writer of the above has prevari- cated, and that the truthNis not in him.
