Yeltaire and the Regent.

Voltaire was put in durance vile in
his young days and it was not his fault
that he did not go to the Bastile di-
rectly after he came out. The regent,
who rightly judged that it would be
better to have young Voltaire for
friend than for an enemy, sent the
Marquis de Noce to the Bastile with
orders to release the young satirist and
bring him safe to the Palais Royal. The
order was duly obeyed and, late in the
evening, Voltaire and the marquis ar
rived at the regents court While
they we're waiting in the ante-cham-
Der a heavy thunderstorm occurred.
There came a flash of lightning, fol-
lowed by peal of thunder so deafening
that an awed silence reigned among the
courtiers for few moments. 1t was
broken by Voltaire crying out in loud
voice: Things could not be worse up
there if the heavens were governed by
a regent The Marquis de Nece re-
peated this remark to the Due d'Orleans
and suggested that Voltaire should be
sent back to the Bastile, but the regent
only laughed and promised the young
wit pension.
81 am much obliged to your high
ness said Voltaire, &c for giving me the
means to procure food, but 1 beg Of

about my lodgings. the Year

OFFICE OF
JUVENILE DEPRAVITY.
A Learned Theory That Boys Are Savages
at a Certain Age.


at Certain Age.
The history of our public schools af-
fords plenty of examples of boys who
have tortured their fellows in way
which would have disgraced a savage,
says the London Spectator. 1t is to be
feared, indeed, that it is accident more
than anything else which saves boys
of this kind-boys whose feelings have
become petrifed-from actual crime
They are unable to feel and their lack
of experience of the world makes the
fear of punishment but a small detri-
ment. 1t is not to be wondered at that
boys in such a temper of mind may
be converted by a series Of unlucky
chances and opportunities into the
thoughtless perpetrators of really grave
iniquities.
Fortunately these boys of petrified
feelings do not necessarily grow into
bad men. The hardening of their ma
ture as often as not undergOes COM
plete change with manhood. Their
characters grow sensitive again and
the lad of 20 would be utterly incapable
of doing things which the boy of IA
could undergo without the fainteSt
touch of remorse. We believe that
schoolmasters of experience will bear
us out in this and say that they have
known plenty of utterly callous boys
who later have entirely lost the savage
faint and have turned into normal men.
In this dangerous insensibility to which
boys are so prone at 13 and IA the boy
is not the father of the man.
1t is difficult to say whence this in
sensibility comes and why the child
may be full of right feeling, the boy
almost callous and the man again per-
fectly sensitive to the promptings of
the heart and conscience. Though we
are not among those who would make
the normal nature nothing but an af-
fair of physical we'll being and the soul
a matter of clinical treatment. we are
inclined to believe that the temporary
and partial peTifaction of the feelings
and the moral sense during boyhood
may be due, to the great physical
changes that are current with it. These
changes affect the boys whole body and
absorb all his energy left with which
to give his heart it's rights. Every
one knows how difficult a thing is a
2-o'clock-in- the-morning courage and
how hard it is to feel kind and self-sac-
rffcing when one is ha1f-asleep. Sleep
AACSS Of extreme WEAKNESS makes one
to certain extent callous and indif-
ferent and insensible to the fate of
others. Well, the boy who is grow
ing up and down and across all at once
and with a speed that takes ones
breath away is physically as much OPP
pressed as the man who is weary from
oVerwork or loss of sleep. 1t is true
that the exhaustion of rapid develop
ment takes a very different form, but
1t exists none the less. No doubt there
are boys whose insensibility is deeper
and can only be explained on the same
lines as defects of character in nature.
For the ordinary normal boy, however,
whose insensibiIity is not permanent
but temporary, the best explanation is,
we believe, that which we have sug-
gested. The stress Of growth to a GER
tain extent puts the normal nature
uader sort of chloroform.

WIFE SALE IN ENGLAND.
Sturdy BrIton Sold His Better Half
and Threw IN a Speech.

| and Threw IN . Speech.
|. The London Annual Register for 1888
gives an account of a singular wife sale.
Joseph Thompson, a farmer, after a
brief married life of three years, find
ing the union irksome, agretd with his
wife to separate. Acting upon the pre-
yalent notion that, by putting his
spouse up to auction, the marriage
bonds were legally severed. he came to
Carlisle with her and. by bellman, an
nounced the sale.
At noon the auction commenced in the
presence of a large number of persons.
the wife, spruce and lively damsel of
% years of age, being placed on large
oak chair, with a halter of straw round
her neck. Thompson then spoke as fol-
lows:
Gentlemen, have to offer to your
notice my WIFE, Mary Anne Thompson,
otherwise Williams, who mean to sell
to the highest and fairest bidder. Gen
tlemen, it is her wish as we'll as mine
to part forever. She has been to me
only born serpent. took her for my
comfort and the good of my home. but
she became my tormentor, domestic
curse, a lady devil. Gentlemen. I speak
the truth from my heart when I say.
May God deliver us from troublesome
wives and frolicseme womenp Avoid
them as you would mad dog, a roaring
lion, loaded pistol, cholera morbus,
Mount Etna or any other pestilentfal
thing in nature. Now, have shown
you the dark side of my wife and told
you her faults and failings. I will now
Introduce the bright and sunny side of
her and explain her qualifications and
goodness
She can read novels and milk cows;
she can laugh and weep with the same
ease that you can take a glass of ale
when thirsty; she can sing Moore's
melodies and plat her frills and caps;
she can make butter and sco1d the maid;
she cannot make rum, gin OF whisky,
but she is good judge of the Quality
from long experience in tasting them.
I therefore offer her with all her per-
fections and imperfeetions for the sum
of SO shiilings.''
The sequel of the story is that. after
waiting above an hour, Thompson
knocked down the Tot to one Henry
Meers fer 20 shillings and Newfound-
land dog, and the parties separated, be-
ing mutually pleased with their bar
gains.

Emblematic Title.

Pharoah is the Egyptian word for
king. In the old tectament pharoah is
generally used without the addition of
the individual name Of the king. The
title denoted that the king was an en-
blem of the god of light and derived his
authority directly from heaven. A
tetrarch, such as Herod the Great was
called, was a ruler of the fourth part
of the country; and in the later years OF
the Roman republic and under the en-
pire it denoted petty tributary sover-
eign.-Exchange.
