A Slice Of Luck.

A traveller IN the south of France was
recently going through a forest, when he
suddenly met with a dozen, as he thought.
suspicious characters. His first thought
was to escape; but, to his great astonish-
ment, one of them came forward, and,
after some general conversation about trees,
summarily offered one hundred napoleons
if he would retire. The traveller said he
had no objection, and to his surprise the
sum was given him, and he went his way
rejoicing. He applied to the authorities
when he discovered that a large sale OF
forest trees took place that day, to which
the local buyers had been hidden, and
these men composed Knockout" that
is, had ~conspired to prevent any n else
bidding, in order that they might obtain
the timber at a cheap rate. The traveller
was supposed by them to be a well-known
timber merchant, and to have entered fol

Err ON tns stde Of Klnane.s.

People grow tender as they grow old.
Young mothers are apt to be too severe
ii their ideas Of discipline, while grand
mothers are proverbially too indulgent;
Yet of the two extremes the latter is
probably the least harmful. It is the
iashion nowadays to treat infants accord
ing to iron-clad rules laid down by the
medical fraternity in regard to feeding,
dressing, bathing, etc. Now, it is not
disputed that these rules are excellent
yeheral guides, but we do insist that they
ao not admit Of a cast-iron application
IN the case of any child. Each mother
must apply the rules according to her
own Judgment, consulting somewhat the
lild's comfort and instincts. Sheshould
aot permit what she knows is really
harmful to him simply to quiet his
slamor; but on the contrary, there may
be times and circumstances whenit would
be far worse to let a child cry an hour or
swo than to break all the rules in the
analogue. Children recover from the
fleets Of grief more readily than older
people; but crying does hurt them, no
nAtter what the autocrats say. u .
foung mother is in doubt as to what
curse 10 pursue, il is always better to
RI q the side Of kindness than on the
vide of severity.

A Practical Test.

Not long ago a rantling Chicago com
muniss gathered a crowd and entertained
them with, his diatribes on the inequali-
ties of riches and poverty. He was in
the midst of his fiery declarations that
the capital of the rich belonged to the
laboring classes, when a clear voice arose
from the crowd: 'sYou've got a gold
watch, and l haven't any. want yours
The speaker was non-plussed. Recover
ing himself, however, he said: II bought
This watGadnd paid for it." "Don't make
any difference persisted the voice,
you've got a gold watch, and 1 haven't
Il want it." The talker was checkmated,
and the meeting broke up.
