VOLUME XVIII.
MY LITTLE MAID OF AcADIE.

knew you wheL your cheeks were fair
AS any rose that bloomed could be,
And your soft eyes were deep as were
The skies that bent DER you and me.
How played the June winds with your hair,
How sought your lips the honey bee,
How 1.-THE your form, how blithe your air,
My little maid of Acadie.
You sang; and on the boughs that bent
Above our path the little birds
Would cease their songs-they seemed intent
To catch the meaning Of your words:
You laughed; the very flowers would smile
To hear laugh so full of glee:
Tis pity they were dumb the while,
My little maid of Acadie.
My little maid of Acadie,
OF all Gods worlds the best is this:
So once you whispered, love, to me,
When overfiowed your heart with bliss.
Twas a sweet world through which we went,
A sweeter I've no wish to see;
Thank God for all the joys it's lent,
My little maid of Acadie.
Your eyes grow misty at thought
OF what has been and yet may be:
How tears the years have often brought
And oft may bring to you and me;
BY no means wise are they who dream
That Heaven delights a wreck to see,
And Time, the thief, is not supreme,
My little maid of Acadie.

THE SCHOOL OF INDECENCY

The public sense of decency is assailed
! more and more daily by a small army of
wretched imitators of Amelie Rives, who
is bad enough at her best. These lubrici-
GUS females find truculent publishers
rather the ayaricious publishers find these
shameless would-be wantons, who write with
disgusting closeness to the penalty of the
law, and smear fair pages with the corrupt
ing pitch of adjectival lasciyiousness, to de-
bauch womanhood and defile the sensibili-
ties of youth. These 2retentious bawds
are becoming so numerous and offensive
that it will become necessary presently to
stretch the inhibition of the criminal
statutes to reach their cases.
As an example, we have before us a
volume that the publishers have the brazen
eflrontery to ask US to review and freely
advertise for them, that is so indecent that
it would offend the kitchen tongs if they
were used to take it up and cast it forth.
Yet the venereous character of the lecher-
Gus volume is thinly plated with SEEM
ing of elegance of expression, an apparent
richness of diction, and an attempted
loftiness of thought, that it is yainly sup
posed covers the wretched obscenity so i'll
hidden beneath
The volume bears the portrait of the
shameless author, whom we do not propose
to advertise in the prostitution of her
womanhood by naming. This salacious
young woman, who bares her brazen face,
and TO blushiug world permits her book
and portrait to 60 out with an announce
ment 10y her publishers that opens after
this gushing manner.

An apology may appear to be due to our
readers for quoting even this much-the
least ofensive--from this gushing, yearn-
ing, shameless writer, but it is necessary
that parents should know what class OF
works are frding their way to book-shelves
to corrupt the fount of innocence and
wreck the lives of their daughters. This
new rival of the Rives school, whose gush-
ing sighing is of an order that should
subject her to the slipper of an indignant
mother, or the cow-hide of a father who
has neglected to correct the disorder of i'm
modesty with the sting of the ferrule, is
representative of ribald class OF scribes
who are prostituting what little ability
they have to the base uses of venal pub
fishers, and rioting in erotic imagery in
order to infame desire and blacken and
scar the purity Of Innocence. 1t would be
advisable to name the book and the author
and all of her class, were it not for the
fact that it would invite to their reading
those whose curiosity and moral weakness
dominate their sense of decency, and over
ride the natural instincts of cleanliness.
Our aim viii have been accomplished,
however if such reference as has been
made to this one vile book, masquerading
under the guise of luxuriant language, and
SO representative of the new school OF
realistic literature, shall call the attention
of parents and guardians to the fact that
the youth committed to their care are be
ing assailed from a new direction. The
forbidden books under the law are not one
tenth part so dangerous; do not in their
bald vileness make one-half so vigorous an
assault upon the sensibilities of youth as
these, and are filter to be read than the
best of the new order of obscenity,

A LESSON OF THE FAIR.

The attendance at the State Fair, which
closes to-day, has been excellent, and the
financial result to the State Board of Agri-
culture has been very gratifying. There is
ore thing notable in this matter, the lesson
of which must not be lost sight Of, and
that is, that the people came this year to
visit the fair, and not to squander their
money. 1t has been urged repeatedly that
a great number come to the State and dis
trict fairs in order to indulge the dissipa-
ton of gaming, and it has been argued as
a conclusion that gaming must be given
free rein or the people would not attend
the fairs. We have now the undeniable
proof that the people did come to the State
Fair, and did not, TO any considerable ex-
tent, engage in gaming, and that the
poorest business done in the city during
the fair has been by the gamblers while
legitimate amusements, such as the thea
tiers, and the speed contests, have been
patronized in the most liberal manner, and
their managers are smiling with satisfac-
ton. There has been some complaint on
the part of some legitimate business men
that this fair season they have not had the
patronage that they have enjoyed in other
seatons of that kind This fact supple
ments the truth we have referred to-the
people came to see and enjoy the fair, and
not to buy goods or spend their money ex-
cept for daily necessaries and the reasona-
bic pleasures of the season. And this dis
position will be more marked with each
succeeding fair season. 1t viii be well for
the men of business to recognize and ac-
eommodate themselves to this fact, for the
State Fair is State institution, and can
not be legitimately administered if run to
aid or foster any private enterprise. 1t is
for the benefit of the whole State, and the
more it is de-lecalized, the more represent
ative fair it will be. The people are
certainly proving that they so look upon
the institution, and that they will attend
the annual State expositions regardless of
so-called outside attractions; a disposition
that speaks well for the people and for the
State Agricultural Society, The fact of
the matter is, it is very much better for a
community that it should not lean upon
the recurrence of holiday seasons. The
disposition to look upon them as business
harvests is demorallzing; 1t tends to lessen
self-helpfulness and to give fictitious values
to occasions, and invites a species of busi-
ness paralysis in the interim between holi-
day periods. The less community in
dulges in any but regular and stable stimu-
lants to energy, the better for it,

AHEARN, who beat Jackson to death in
prize fight at St. Louis has been held
without bail to answer for murder-and he
ought to be speedily convicted and early
hanged. The murderously ravenous dis
position of the man that led him to Jump
upon his dying victim and beat his head
upon the floor, proves him unentitled to
human sympathy. His accompliees who
pitilessly pushed the expiring Jackson up
in the last round to receive his death blow

LETTER FROM A CLERGYMAN
Grateful Acknowledgment of Cures by
the Cuticura Remedies.
a minister and his little boy cured of OBJ
stinate skin diseases by the Cuticura
Remedies. Praises them everywhere
in the pulpit, home, and in the street

For about thirteen years l have been troubled
with eczema or some other cutaneous disease
which all remedies failed to cure. Hearing of
the CUTICURA REMEDIES, resolved to give them
trial, and purchased one bottle of CUTICURA
REsoLyEST, one box of CUTICURA, and one cake
CUTICURA SOAP. l followed the directions care
fully, and il affords me much pleasure to say
that before using two boxes of the CUT, URA,
four cakes of CUTicURA SOAP, and one bottle of
CUTICURA REsoLvRST, was entirely cured.
In addition TO my own case, my baby boy,
what / supposed to be the same disease as mine
to such an extent thst his head was coated over
with a solid seab, from which there was a con-
stant fiow of pus, which was siekening to look
upon, besides two large, tumoT-like kernels on
the rack of his head Thanks to you and your
wonderful CUTIcURA REMEDIES, his scalp is per-
fectly well, and the kernels have been scattered
so that there is only one little place by his left
ear, and that is healing nicely Instead of q
coating of scabs he has a fine coat of hair,
much better than that which was destroyed by
the disease. / would that the whole world
of sufferers from skin and blood diseases knew
the value of your CUTICURA REMEDIES as do.

are each worth ten times the price at which
they are sold. have never used any other

THE official interpreter TO the new Chi
nese Minister Plenipotentiary who arrived
in this country on Wednesday, being asked
what he understood the attitude of the
Chinese Government to be towards the
United States because of the Exclusion
Act, replied
The Chinese Government does not care par
ticle about it either one way or the other. 1t
prefers to have its people remain at home, and
not emigrate 10 foreign countries. The only
element in China that does care are the mer-
chants, who profit by the expatriation of our
ignorant classes.
This is very much better authority than
Bishop Fowler, who has attempted to cre-
ate "a scare" by prophesying that China
will make US repent the exclusion of Chi
nese laborers. Interpreter Lee, who is
represented as very intelligent, well-in'
formed man, who is related to the nobility
nearest the Imperial throne, is very much
more likely to know what is the purpose
Of the Chinese Government than Bishop
Fowler Lees statement is semi-official
and made with directness and freedom
indicative of confidence in the correctness
of his expression. Moreover, what he says
is in keeping with the traditional exclu-
sive policy of China.

The Interpreter to the recent
trade union congress held in Lon
don, AdoIphe Smith, has written a
critical essay on the proceedings,
which the author publishes at 10
Barclay Road, Walham Green, S.
w., London. Next week we shall
begin its publication in the ADyo-
CATE, and our readers can then form
fair idea of what an international
trades union congress may mean, for
Mr.. Smiths criticism is at the same
time a history Of ideas. 1t will
show also that ofttlmes the trades
unions are more radical than their
"leaders," and that "leaders" don't
always lead.
