The claim Of omniscience and the assump-
ton of umnipJtonco are the amusing parts OF
n newspaper. 1t Is artless and transparent.
The omniscionco is that of the encyclopedia
and the ~omnipotence is the frown of love.
1t is n stage effect, which is pretty, but
which deoeives nobody. The roar is well
done. But the performer is not mistaken for
n lion. He is plainly seen TO be the excellent
Mr.. Snug, who is professionally engaged in
the support of his family. TIL elaborate
p-roclamations of the newspapers private
business as n matter of public inn
portance is another aspect of the same
comedy. The newspaper soborly announces
that after prolonged elaboration it has dc
cided to widen its columns, and that for many
months the most prodigious machinery has
been in course of construction to enable it to
satisfy the demands of its swiftly increasing
host of advertisers, who will have nothing
less than all the co~nvenicnces provided by the
most modern science. The newspaper is
gratified 10 be able to state that it isnow pre-
pared to smile at all rivalry, to outstrip its
esteemed contemporaries at every point, and
TO enable mankind to dispense with all other
Journals but itself. This is as simple and
childlikc rs il a great mercantile house should
announce that it had just bought a new set
of massive account books in Russia leather,
and laid new floors of southern pine, and
added another story TO the warehouse. The
buyer, meanwhile, is interested in the goods,
and inspccts them, md them only, to decide
whether TO buy or TO look elsewhere, These
are the little humbugs Of the trade Of the
newspaper. -Harpcr's.

To transform men into all sorts of be-
ings, both vegetable and animal, from
sweet scented flowers to pigs and pred
atory animals, yea even into rocks of
salt, was a %iavorlto pastime with all the

that he could find the cannon in the

Solemnity of Prayers"
There is yet another ceremonial which at
most country houses the visitor is expected
to attend. That is family prayers. AS q
student of men and manners it will be worth
his while, for no institution is so intensely
English. AT o in the morning and about 10
at night the butler announces prayers. The
family and visitors then proceed to the hall,
where the servants are arranged in n long
row. The butler places q Bible and prayer
book in front of the squire, and then retires
to his seat with the air of a man who has
done a difficult duty rather neatly. Then
the squire reads a portion OF Scripture and n
prayer in n loud, sOnorous voice, destitute of
all expression whatever. Now look for a
moment round the assembly. Old Gen. Sile-
nus, who has drunk perhaps half q bottle too
much claret, presents an intensely pious, but
w1thal sleepy, appearance, and tries to cover
u hiccough with a grunt. Capt. Fitzfulke,
of the Dragon Guards, who has just been
convulsing the gentlemen at the dinner table
with ''broad' stories, looks appallingly
proper. The rest are obviously thinking o
nowt," which the rustic explained was the
great delight of church, but everybody is
bolt upright and wears a stony primness OF
aspect.
Were a twinkle of amusement, or even OF
sensibility, to be seen in any ones counten-
ance, the vigilant eye of the lady of the
house would instantly detect it. The essence
of the ceremony, in short, is q kind of gran
itic ~solemnity. l remember once a ludicrous
accident occurring at one Of these rites,
which set the weaker folks Off in an ire
prossible litter. The lady of the house was
so angry hat the truth came out in a burst.

passion, "the insult to the Almighty that l

In all other respects you have the most per

A Great Victory
A Terrible Case of Scrofula
Cured by
Hoods ~SarsapariIIa

"In the winter Of 1879 l was attacked with
Scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms.
At one time / had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and around m neck and throat,
continually exudlng an offensive mass of
bloody matter disgusting TO behold, and
lmost intolerable to endure. 1t is impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, 1 was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation Of w. j.
Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, 1 was induced
TO try Hoods ~Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and
beautifully less / do not know what 1t may
have done for others, but l do know that in
my case, Hoods S~arsaparilla has proved an
effective specific indeed. As an evidence Of
my, gratitude 1 send these facts unsolicited,
and / am ready to verify the authenticity of
this cure, by personal correspondence with
any one who doubts it," CHARLES A. ROB-

Manners are of more importance
than laws. Upon them, in a great meas
ure, the laws depend. The law touches
us but here and there, now and then.
Manners are what vex and soothe, cor
rupt or purify, cxalt or debase, barbarize
or refine us, by a constant, steady uni
form, insensible operation, like that of
the air we breathe in. They give their
whole form and color to our lives. Ac-
cording TO theirquality, they aid morals !;
hey destroy them. .

There are souls in the world which
have the gift of finding Joy everywhere,
and of leaving it behind them where
they go. Joy gushes from under their
fingers like jets OF light. Their influence
is an inevitable gladdening of the heart;
it seems as il n shadow OF Gods own gift
had passed upon them. They give light
without meaning to shine.
