The Judges Opinion.


 While Judge Walton was at work in his chamber at Portland day many years ago drawing an opinion in 8 knotty case a certain lawyer came in. This lawyer Che is now deceased) was a thin, tooth-p -pickish, dudish sort of man, whom the judge did not like very well, and than whom he had rather have seen Daniel Pratt himself walk ing into his chamber. 'fWel1, Brother lightweight, what can I do for you this morning?" asked Judge Walton, hoping to get rid of the fellow. Nothing" he re- piled, s'I only came in to make you a call. D After disagreeable silence the judge looked up again and asked: Brother Lightweight, why don't you get married?" Because I can't afford it. How much do you suppose it costs me to live now!" The judge said he wouldn't guess. ''Well, it costs me six thou sand dollars year for just my own living An expression of surprise came on the judges face. lightweight" said he, 'I wouldn't pay it. It isn't worth it''

ARBITR ALTON.

The labor arbitration question has received ! pretty thorough consideration from 8 com
 mittee of the Massachusetts legislature. It 1 is interesting to notice the result. The re- port of the majority of the committee recom- l mends that the government shall appoint three commissioners to serve for fixed periods of time, who shall have authority to | listen to complaints of employees or employed, l and, after hearing both sides to the misun- derstanding, make recommendations which l may be adopted, provided the employer and the employed are willing to accept the fnd- ings of the arbitrators-
 The minority report is supposed to era- body the ideas of femployes rather than those of employers. It limits the choice that the governor might make to two commissioners, one of whom shall represent the employers, the other the employed, or some recognized labor organization. These two shall select third commissioner who shall hold, so to speak, the balance of power The terms of office of the three commissioners are made indefinite; but their findings, when they are asked to arbitrate between dissatisfied em- ployers and employees, shall have binding eff AcCb upolL Ootu PdTIloS 1Of porlOu OI SIX months
 Neither of these reports is very satisfacto- ry. The dissatisfied laborers of Massachu- setts would have little confidence in a board of arbitration made up as recommended in the majority report, and the minority scheme has one defect which seems to be fatal This is the provision compelling both parties to an arbitration to abide for six months by the findings of the tribunal. The Boston Herald thus criticises this: The operatives in mill are not permanent fixtures, and week after the decision they might conclude to strike, or they might find elsewhere employment at better pay, and in either event they could leave their employer, without the least hope of redress, to make the best that he could out of the situation. In other words, the employer supplies guarantee in the capital he has invested in his plant that he will ob- serve the findings of the tribunal The op- eratives give such guarantee, and it is absurd to suppose that the people of this State would ever tolerate system which would consist in having the dissatisfied oper- atives of factory led by the police or driv- en by the militia to their daily work
 On the whole, therefore, the arbitration idea does not seem to have made much real progress in the Massachusetts legislature so far. If the bill the majority becomes 5 law 1t is not probable that it will be very ef- fective.

The Girl at the Front Gate.

From Robert J. Burdette, in St. Louis Maga zine1
 Heaven bless the girl at the front gate with peach bloom on her cheeks and love- light in her eyes. Some men would shut her out of our literature, but I am not one of them. The girl at the front gate can never grow old to those who have been there with her. Years may come and go, but the music of the low voice at the front gate will not be stiIled, and the memory of the cherry lips we kissed at the front gate will hold us faith ful to the end What if the old gate does sag and it's hinges rattle, and it's latch refuse to hold it shut What if the posts are shaky and some of it's pickets gones We love the dear old relic still. We love it for the sake of the girl who used to stand out there by it with roses on her cheeks and nectar on her lips.
 We held the old gate up and counted the stars and bid good bye and then counted the stars again. How many times of a night was
 goodbye saids How many times did lips meet over the dear old gatea The old gate knows, but it will never tell. The old front gate may have counted the kisses, but never did. And I am sure that the girl with the peach-bloom cheeks never did. And what of the girl with the peach-bloom | cheekss An, me! She married another. 1 She forgot her VOWS at the old front gate, as some girls will, and married richer and | handsomer man. And I2 We'll 1 went off
 to another front gate where there were other peach-bloom cheeks and other lips as sweet,
 and just as many stars to count. And now
 I have front gate of my own, and girl oi my own with peach bloom cheeks who counts l the stars with the boy of the girl whose VOWS
 made with me at the first front gate were
 broken. But he is a true, good boy, and my
 girl is good, true girl, and heaven bles

THE AMERICAN GIRL.
The Impression Which She Create
 in the mtnd of a Parisian.

in the m1nd of a Paristan.
 From the Paris Figaro
 Stylish to the backbone. Independent as independent can be, but very pure. Is de- voted to pleasure, dress, spending money shows her moral nature nude-just as it is, so as to deceive nobody. Flirts all winter with this or that one, and dismisses him in the spring, when she instantly catches anoth- CT. Goes out alone. Travels alone. When the fancy strikes her she travels with gen tleman friend, or walks anywhere with him; puts boundless confidence in him; conjugal intimacy seems to exist between them. She lets him tell what he feels-talks of love from morning. till night; but she never gives him permission to kiss so much as her hand. He may say anything-he shall do nothing. She is restless; she gives heart and soul to amusement before she marries. After mar riape she is a mother annually; is alone all day; hears all night nothing except discus sions about patent machinery, unexplosive petroleum and chemical manure She then will let her daughters enjoy the liberty she used without grave abuse. As nothing serl- ous happened to her, why should Fanny, Mary Jennie, be less strong and adroit than their mother? She originates French fash ions. Parisian women detest her. Provincial women despise her. Men of all countries adore her, but will not marry her unless she has an immense fortune. Her hair is vermilion, paler than golden hair; Ter black eyes are bold and frank; she has patent shape which it is forbidden to countenance; spreads her self in a carriage as if she were in ham, mock-the natural and thoughtless posture of her passion for luxurious ease. When she walks she moves briskly, and throws every glance right and left gives many of her thoughts to herself and few of them to any body else She is a wild plant put in hot hOusa

outside the domestic circle, whithin which it rules with unquestioned supremacy. The fact remains that the women of England are more numerous than men, and that to suffer them to enjoy the same political rights as the men would be almost a male disfran- chisement. It is true that MT. Courtnsys bill stops short of this, but we have no war rant for its fnality. If the door is once opened, it will not be long before the whole sex will press through, and the enfranchise- ment of the childrsn will be the only step which will remain to be taken in the career of legislative folly, and it will admit of be-, ing supported by most of the arguments which do service for the women, and by others equally good. Female franchise is joke of course. but it is great deal more than joke. It has serious side to it. It is a sport with edged tools.

CHAS. A. CABRERA, B Hawley Street,
 Boston, Mass, writes:
 ''One year ago I was apparently so far gone with Consumption that my life seemed only question of days rather than months With my faith in the ability of physicians to help me all gone, I tried almost every known remedy, with no apparent benefit. Finally, as a last resort I was induced to try pr. R. c. Flowers Lung Cordial. The very first dose gave me relief, and with the first bottle took new lease of life, and can honestly say to-day that one spoonf.1 of this remedy is worth more to the sufferer from Lung troubles than gallon of any other known remedy. A bottle of it is now one of my choicest possessions, and at the first symptom of cough or cold fly to it for the relief it never fails to give"
 DIR. FLOWERS LUNG COR- DIAL is without question the most wonderful Lung remedy ever discovered. It eradicates the germ of CONSUMPTION as no remedy has ever been known to do. It stands without a rival for COUGHS, COLDS, BRON- CHITIS, ASTHMA and CON- SUMPTION.
