The mouse pest in Australia is much
worse than the rabbit pest. The eli
mate is 50 soft that they have thrivod
enormously, and there is said to be
s'hardly residence or store that is not
pestered by the plague. In some places
they are so thick that, in order to get
the stock properly fed, men have to
watch while they are eating their pro-
vender. The week before the Coolah
races the vcrmiu got into the boxes at
the station, and actually ate the band
ages off the horses legs, while from
every side come tales Of crops devoured
so rapidly that many fields have had to
DO abandoned, what was left not being

THE CALICO BALL.
By 8. MooBE.


Some years ago calico ball was advertis
, be held in Quebec, and after the dance t
all dresses to be given to the poor. On read1
ne announcement the following lines we
rritten:i
Ii You so to the calico ball,
And take n few steps on the floor,
And dance at humanity call
A jig for the destitute poor,
Who shivering, stand at your door,
So demure,
A blessing, perhaps, you'll secure.
But your calico dress is too thins
And not of much use to the old,
With lining too scanty within
To keep out the terrible cold;
Ear better the dress should be sold,
And the gold
Be to the poors treasurer told.
But If you don't care for the cost,
wooden dress, heavy and warm,
Would shield from the bite of the frost,
And save you from future alarlns
Whilst healthy as girls on farm
Every charm
You display would o sorrow disarm.
Your dress should be tidy and plain,
Befitting charity ball,
And nothing coquettish or vain
Should make its appearance stall;
For this is humanitys call,
In the hall,
For stockings. a gown, or q shawl.
Let all the descendants of France,
And others, avoiding disparity,
AS equals appear in the dance,
United together in charity,
Enjoying health, peace, and hi&axitY:
Such rarity;
So now let you have it a verify.

ION viewing painting of Jephtha's Daughter
Daughter Of Jephtha with thy fair head bowed,
As droops the flower, when from the burdened
In fierce assault has burst the stormy shower !;
Why hangs this gloom upon thy LIES young
hour2
Like jewels shrined thy sparkling eyes are hid !;
Clasped are thy fairy fingers half in prayer,
Half in the anguish of thy souls despair;
Oh not more sad the lovely Peri safe,
Whosought admittance at bright Eden's gate,
Yet doubted if her offered gifts could win
From watching angels leave to enter in.
And yet thou wear'st no dropping mourners
guise;
Yelled is thy form in robe Of glowing dyes;
Amidst the braided richness of thy hair
Bright gems are beaming, and the jeweled star
Cleans on thy shoulder as when stars arise,
Ere evenings flush has faded from the skies;
branch unblighted on thine arm is thrown,
But where's the thrilling of thy songs proud
When forth thou ledst the fair and virgin choii
To hail with song and dance thy conquerins
Rash Jephtha what an awful VOW was thine,
To pour in sacrifice upon the shrine
The blood Of whomsoeer thou first mightst
And 10 a virgin bright with bounding feet
Springs forth to meet thee with her fond caress /,
Why turn away? Hath she no power to bless?
Is there a father who can coldly spurn
His daughters kiss that welcomes his return?
Swift through his soul this thought OF horror
Jephtha is saved, but Jephthas daughter dies
Oh dark Idolatryi whose fearful rite.
In human blood hast ever found delight

But not of lsraels God the worship learned.

The first to hail thy coming is thy childi

And fade with waning crescent from the skies,

In mingled breathings on the wild winds

FAMILY ECONOMY IN GERMANY.

As people we have not learned
the art of getting the most out of
what we have. With our larger in
comes, and better opportunities we
often enjoy far less of comfort and
contentment than our foreign breth
rem, who with their limited resources
have learned to husband and to
make the best of the little that falls
to their lot. Those who have seen
the inside of life in France and Ger
many know how true this is. / will
remember how it impressed me in
my first experience in Germany.
Living in private family, my
breakfast, which, though consisting
only of the usual rolls and coffee,
were nevertheless ample, were al
ways brought to my room. With
the coffee there came invariably
little jar of milk and some Jumps Of
sugar. During the whole six months
of my stay in that house, the num-
Der of Jumps was never more nor
less than five. An American lady
living in another family in the same
city was wont to aver her conviction
that her landlady counted the
grains of coffee for every potful she
made. Every scrap of food was
utilized.
Like economics were manifested
everywhere, indeed, they were
D1rt of common education not only
at home but at school, where, for in
stance, the girls were taught 10 sew
aud mend as they were to read and
write. And when 1 went about
with the people and saw how they
lived; how contentedly and pleas
antly they took the affairs Of life;
how much they made of simple and
Inexpensive pleasures how little
they were beset with false pride or
show and the petty ambition to go
ahead of their neighbois, which are
such corrosive influences in Ameri-
can and English society; how much
Of human kindness and home joy
and social satisfaction they had with
incomes and prices which would
make life for average Americans of
similar station a torturing struggle
with WANT could not avoid the
conviction that in their ways was a
lesson which it would be blessing
for us to learn Prof. w. o. At

Train Ropber in Court.

Train Ropber in Court.
Sr. LOUIS, No., Jan. 26.--The prelim-
mary hearing Of Barney Swinney, the
leader OF the Wabash train robbers who
were so neatly foiled and captured at Mis-
souri, City, last week, was begun today in
Judge Hopkins court swinney appeared
without counsel and asked for change OF
venue on the ground of the judges
prejudice. The change was granted and
the case proceeded before W. b. Mitchell.
Noah Drew, the confederate who planned
the capture, testified directly to the point,
that several weeks before swinney APP
preached him ON the subject, and for
several days lie hung fire until he con-
ceived The idea Of doing the State service
by Kidding II of the last desperate man
who had followed Jesse James. Then one
Harrison, was drawn in, and he ultimately
weakened. John IIargrave who was in
the employ 81 Swinney's father. was easily
induced 10 become o iuember Of the gang,
and the time was set Drew then informed
Constable King and related the plan,
which was carried out. Swinney was very
joyial during the trial, and cross-cxamined
the witness with effect, sturdily maintain
ing that his presence on the scene was nc
cidental. Constable King testified that
lie recognized Swinney's voice when he
ordered the engineer from the cab, as did
others. Swinney made the point that in
the confusion and noise of the engine
etc, this was impossible. Hargrave testi-
fled that swinncy fired four shots at the
cab aud then turned on Drew and shot
twice at him. The case was continued.
