THE NIGHTMARE.
BY ozHzs M1nsuMMER.

In dfeamland's bright meadows, IN sleeps YER
Gant hollow,
beautiful s1eepa Isports from the throng J;
Be vines OF free fancy, where fingers the sIum-
The black mare of midnight comes pEunging
along,
By the moonbeams faint light, the stars mod
est twinkle,
And sleeps light electrical, i1lumined wind,
The nightmare of vision comes on like Whit
With great clouds of dust rising ghostly be-
hind.
The dreamer lies squareiy upon her back sleep
ing,
Her bangs all in order in strips OF bright tin
Her cheeks all aglOw with the roses OF pleas
Fer lips are apart for the ghost 30 begin.
Then comes an assortment Of dire confu6ons,
OF sputter and futter, disaster and woe.
Her husband awakes and finds she has kicked
And feels in his ribs her as saulting elbow.
"A moment he listens, confused by the rumble,
The tumble of words the shuttle and sigh;
Then very soon catches q sound as of singing,
Which ends in the beauty of Sweet by and
by"
A thought of the glory of life everlasting
Sweeps over RIis souldn a transport OF bliss.
Then comes a Dear Charley" pronounced by
the dreamer,
Who gives in her fancy hearty warm kiss.
The man now remembers that Charles his
rival,
And feels that for once he should have his
way clear;
So playing the lower who lost in the contest,
He begs i'm q whisper, Another kiss, dear"
His voice drove the steed fromits seat on her
bosom,
When Dear Cbarleys" head was supposed to
be there;
And brought from the lips where the ghost had
been playing,
Twas only e. dream, dear; know you dom Z
care"

THE LITTLE FOLKS.
Our Children.


looked at the happy children
Who gathered around the hearth;
So blithe they were-no children
Could be happier on earth;
With their merry plays, and their win
some ways,
And the sound of their silvery mirth.
Then I thought of those other children,
So wizened and hard and bold,
Who huddle in the slum and cellar,
And shiver with want and cold;
Not fresh as the dew, or the mornings
hue,
But haggard, and lean, and old.
But yet may they still, those children,
Be taught to forget their pain;
And gathered in arms that love them,
Their laughter may come again;
And the stare of woe and the craft may
And the spirit be washed of stain.
But it is not in cold book learning
Those children's hearts to move;
And the stony eye of the serpent
Is death to the stricken dove;
IT'S an angel alone can touch them,
And that angels name is love.
For whatever the world may fancy,
And whatever the wise men say
OF our nineteenth century progress,
Of a new and better way,
Still it takes soul to make soul
Now, as in the olden day.

Mixed Marriages.

Western WaichmAn.
In cases of mixed marriages priest:
performing the ceremony are required
to exact pledge from the contracting
party to abstain from all interference
with the Catholic party in the prac.
tice of religion, and to bring up the
children born of the union in the
Catholic faith. The Catholic party
is obliged to promise to do all that is
possible to bring about the conversion
of the non-Catholic party. This
pledge may be in the form of an oath
before notary pubic.
But if the protestant party refuse,
what then? Great prudence must be
exercised. If there is good
reason to fear that the couple will
contract marriage before a magistrate
Ga minister the priest should resort to
prudent management. In the appen.
dix OF the DEGREES of the lust Council
of Baltimore will he found an instruct
ion from the Congregation of Rites
enjoining prudence on priests in such
cases, and warning them against the
folly of permitting a greater evil in
hopeless attempt TO prevent a lesser
one. In the case cited the priest
could not have married the parties.
Cases may arise when it is wise to
marry Protestant: nay, where no
toriOus Freemasons may be married
married With a nuptial mass. A
Catholic who consents to bringing up
in heresy the little ones God gives
commits q sin against the divine and
human law, and the priest con not be
even a passive party to the trans
gression.

Suggestions TO Our Girls

FROM an Old Bachelor.
Girls should be taught to cook well
Much misery comes from bad conking.
A young man marries a girl who Can
not cook a decent meal. Then mis-.
chief begins. He works hard, earns
money, gives most of it 10 her. She
takes the money, buys victuals, cooks
them badly. He and she eat them.
The victuals are so badly cooked
that they will not sustain the fires of
industry. He seeks stimulants,
drinks. She, poor and ignorant
creature. gets consolation from the
nearest sewing society. She can't
understand the change that has come
over him. He knows it will do no
good TO acqusint her with the truth !;
it would be stranger than fiction to
her.
There are thousands of cases en-
braced in this outline, all caused by
the prevailing inability to cook well.
Boys are trained for practical duties
of life. Girls need a more compre-
hensive education. They should be
taught how to cook a decent meal.

ton, without which NO man can sue.

How a Canadian Lady TITLED a Deer With

A long-range, globe-sighted rife In
the hands of a marksman can be made

The size of your game-bag. or rather
bag OF game, depends greal deal on
the knowledge of the firearms you're
used TO. An estimable English lady
who came to Canada some twenty-five
years ago. was one day deeply inter
ested in getting out the family wash
ing. She had sheets and table-cloths
out drying. when TO her horror she
saw the line go down and her spotless
clothes trampled in the dirt A large
buck caught by the antlers was the
cause of the trouble. There was not q
all gone to a neighbours for the day.
She screamed, and the deer, the more
he plunged the tighter he got wound
up, and the louder she yelled. Some
thing had to be done. and done at once.
She had a fine gun in the house, load
ed, but she would not approach it, az
firearms were her special dread.
Among her many possessions she hid
a large pair OF tongs-fire tongs-that
she had brought over with her. She
thoroughly understood this fire-arm,
and with all her housewifely instincts
outraged, grabbed them and sailed in.
She had her clothing slightly torn, but
within five minutes they had venison;
she literally pounded the bucks skull
TO a jelly, after which she told me she
sat down and had good cry. 1t all
depends on what you're used to-

We are ia a period of literary deca-

We are in a period of literary deca-
dence, We EDglish-speaking peop,e.

raneous literature, but it is a worship
of false gods and very little ones.
Perhaps the disposition of the critics
to lie spendthrifls Of indiscrimnate aG-
miration is an efficient cause of the
decadence. 1t lowers the standards
and prompts incapable vanity to enter
an arena where victory is easy and
applause cheap. However that may
be, the fact of decadence is
beyond dispute. How many books
of distiDctively literary character
that will be remembered after their
pages have yellowed have been writ

years? How many books of any lit
cray Importance have been written 10
that time by authors who are not now
either dead or inactive from age?
Has there been a single enc? Apart
from the few veterans whose work is
completely done, what names in either
country can one mention as those of
the great writers of our time? There
is absolutely none. The imaginative
literature of the age is at best clever
and ephemeral. No great noy-
els and no great poems are
produced. There is not a
single novel or poem under twenty
years of age which any one need feel
hound to read in order to be we'll in
formed in literature. Is productive
capacity worn out, then, in the field
of imaginative literature? Or is it
only that the old forms have been ex-
lausted in use and that the man has
not yet arisen who is to create the
new and set imagination free again /?
That was the case with poetry be-
tween Pope's death and the advent
of the poetic revolutionists, Byron,
Wordsworth, Scott and Coleridge.

O'Clock Tuesday night. Eight pieces Of
iron, such as are used 20 fasten 1T" rails to-
gether, were tightly wedged into the switch
near the little town. An east bound psssen
ger train passed safely over the obstruction,
but an unusual jolting caused the train men
to be alarmed and they reported the matter
to the operator. He Investigated the cause
and stopped The limited before it reached
the switch His efforts to take the irora cut
of the switch by hand proved fu,ije. A fise
man had TO be sent back TO the engine, ard
with the hammer he procured they were
forced out. They had been placed in tue
switch with the east ends raised so as to de-
rail west-bound train, while allowing en-
east-bound to pass over with only a little
jarring. The switch l.; cnly sky FEET from
a bridge, and the momentum would have
thrown the whole train into the creek, anc
the consequences would have been terrible
