AS a Girl Sees It.

AS a GlPI sees IL.
DEAR EDITOR:-Will you per-
nit one Of the girl readers of
your paper to occupy a little
space in your highly appre-
sciated Home Circle depart
ment. I will begin ,girl-like,
by asking a question. Has
nosone seen a good girl lately?
Are girls nowadays much
worse than those of yore?
The average newspaper would
make you. think so. Every
journal (your own excepted)
which | pick up has one or
more columns devoted to the
things against women until I
have become frightened and
find myself wondering,if I too
am one Of those dreadful
creatures. And are those
articles written by men? If
SO, they must be men without
homes or families, who have
mixed with a debased class of
society. Surely no honor
able gentleman wonld pen an
article such as we daily per-
use, denouncing all Of the
gentler sex as extravagent,
jealous, faithless, nay, even
immodist, and no home to re-
ceive the kiss of a dear wife
or to meet the innocent eyes
of beAy of sisters or daugh-
These aaticles SOW the seeds
in the minds of young men,
ior thoughts and feelings
that never would have arisen
there without teaching.
Now | am young, and am
worldly wise, at least, yet I
have had my tleexperience,
and | must say that I have
met with many pure, good
woman, kind mothers, loving
wives, dutiful daughters,
affectionate sisters; women
who are not for running their
husbands or fathers by ex
travagance; who are not fall
ing in. love with every hand
some man they see; who are
not clipping every day with
the family physician or hus-
bands friend; but sensible in
every respect. And [ have
met very good men. I regret
it, [ do not wish to speak
against the men, for / rather
like them and am willing to
say that my experience has
been, perhaps unfortunate.
am inclined to believe that
as in all ages there has exist
ed noble men, faithful in
love, brave in war; SO they
may still be found-faithful

one be brave enough to stand |
in opposition to popular opin-
on, and truthful enough to
say to the public that he has
seen at least one or two real
good girls in the course of a
year? If such a one can be
'ound I will thank him warm

he will, Of course, have to
toll all the way up to the sum-
NIT of fortune as a common
laborer, an employment good
enough as long as one can
do no better, but one we
should advise no active young
man to choose out of the
many. If a young man has
wealth, he certainly needs a
knowledge of business sufi-
Gent to enable him to preserve
his wealth. Neither would a
trade injure a rich young man!
A little of the ''brown and
brawn," and steadiness of
character which labor induces
would make him a better,
more reliable wielder of
capital.
The time has passed when
young men of this country
can neglect the task of learn
ing the details of an occupa-
ton with impunity. When
the country was new and the
population thinly scattered
over the land, when there
was plenty of room and pri-
vileges were cheap, people
could find employment easily.
Skilled labor was scarce, and
rough hewers were in plenty.
Any one could become an
artisan. Mechanics, especial
ly in the west, sprang to the
journeyman's position in a
day.
But that is changing now.
Population is becoming more
settled and dence. Property
increases rapidly in value.
Men are becoming rich. and
desire more elegant business
houses, residences, carriages,
and artistic appliances of
civilization of all kinds. The
people demand better public
edifces. Mechanics, artists,
and all kinds of skilled labor
are in demand. He Will win.

The man Of skill is always in

the times of prosperity, must
know how to do something
thoroughly.
It is we'll to get an educa-
ton. A thorough education
will make you an
ADLER man. But educate for
some particular object.
Every good act is charity.
Your smiling in young broth
er's face is charity; an ex-
hortation of your fellowmen
to virtuous deeds is equal to
your putting a
wanderer on the right track
is charity; your removing
stones and thorns and other
distractions from the road is
charity. A mans true wealth
hereafter is the good he does
in this world to his fellowmen.
When he dies people will say,
What property has he left
behind him? But the angels
who examine him in the grave
will ask, "What good deeds
last thou sent before thee?"

basket of chickens that were sent
back just this morning because they
were not fattened properly. Those

THE KING GEORGE.
In the Deadly Wake Of the Famous Old
West lndiaman.

If ever you happen to be so for
tunate as to take a trip down the
west coast of Africa you'll be sure to
hear of the famous old West India
man, King George. This yarn is
backed up by the records of the
British admiralty, so Of course it is
true. She was wrecked in the year
1889 during a hurricane that dew
astated the coast Of Cuba and the
West Indies generally. Every man,
woman and child aboard of her was
lost, and the ship herself was strip
ped of her top hamper, masts and
spars and went drifting, helpless
wreck, "bawd to all disaster"
She was first reported by ship
of the same company some hundred
miles north of the point where the
storm is supposed to have struck
her. Men were sent aboard her
from her sister Indiaman and re-
ported that she was sinking rapidly.
After that she was never completely
lost to sight for the best part of five
years, when she vanished in a storm
off the Grand Canaries. In that
time she had drifted upward of TO-
900 miles and had been the direct
cause of at least four wrecks and the
indirect cause Of three more.
Her travels were strange enough,
especially at that time, when the To-
cations of the ocean currents were
but vaguely guessed at by the most
speculative of mariners. She jour
peyed mort ~are3cuol TO the BRUSH
isles and then, making long curve,
to the west coast of Africa. During
all that time she was constantly re-
ported by passing ships, many of
which sent men aboard Of her. At
last the British government dis
patched a man-of-war after her,
with orders to blow her up. In
stead the frigate ran on reef and
was wrecked. Another, the Daphne,
was then sent out, but she encoun-
tered shaving dhow and was sunk
in the ensuing fight.
BY this time the whole English
speaking seafaring world was agog
over the mystery. When a third
warship was dispatched and in her
turn ran high and dry on the beach
superstition had its way, and the
King George was allowed to proceed
on her ghostly path in peace. She
was reported a few times after that
by passing merchantmen, then dis
appeared for good and all in a tor
nado that destroyed much beside the
derelict. But her name is still a
thing to conjure with in some parts
of the World.-NeW York Herald.

Little by little the impression
grows in Vermont that the open sea-
son for deer should be abolished be-
cause, apart from any sentimental
considerations proper to be urged,
the comparatively few deer the state
can expect to raise and shelter are
worth more to the public alive than
dead.-St. Adams Messenger.
Franklin county isn't much Of a
deer-hunting ground, still The Age
believes a majority of the people
there or in Windsor county, where
they are more plenty snd ferocious,
would like to see them let alone, for
awhile at least But the old talk of
damage by deer always comes up.
AS the Ludlow Tribune says:
Better come down and hear the
farmers of this section use explosive
deer. You'll not find a very strong
sentiment in favor of continued
close season.

OUR FOREFATHERS' DAYS.

Let us sing of the days when our townships
Were exposed to the wolf and the bear,
When our roads were made on the hill
sides,
And not many buildings were there.
As rivers our brooks were then flowing,
Forest shades where the broad sunlight
plays.
o, let US remember our fathers
And sing of our foretathers' days.
They handled the sword and the musket,
'Gainst Briton or Indian in fight,
And Liberty gave them her blessing,
For they trusted in God and THE
Right"
Though handful the colonies boosted,
Yet the Lion" by Eagles" was torn,
Till bowling it fed from our wildwood,
The morning that freedom was born.
They felled down the trees in the forest,
Till garden the Wilderness grew,
They turned up the soil with the plough
share,
And villages sprang up anew.
oh it was by most earnest endeavor
They transmitted our freedom unstained.
Oh then let us always remember
And bless them by whom it was gained.
Then, there was no time to be idle,
For life's busy work must be done,
No time for display or for fashion.
No time to sit down in the sun.
Womans hands were at work in the farm.
house.
There was humming of wheels and of
looms,
Their music the songs that the daughters
Sang working in unfinished rooms.
We're the children of children of labor,
(They were sovereigns, too, of the soil },
Though we may WELD the pen for the
ploughshare
And in broad fields of science may toll.
Then for aye we'll remember our mothers,
And write in our grandmOthers' praise,
The while we remember our fathers,
And sing of our forefathers' days.

Tho Canadian Habitant.

The rural population of French
Canada is unlike that of any other
country. The habitant is the result
of peculiar conditions. Transplant
ed originally from the north of
France, the stock has been modified
and transformed by the environ
ment of the new world. 1t retains
the simplicity and poetic tempera-
ment Of the old stock, combined
with measure of the vigor and
self reliance of pioneer life. And
with it all, remarks a correspondent
of the Nation, in an appreciative
tribute to the patois story of the
late DR.. William Henry Drummond,
the habitant remains to this day al
most untouched bv the influences of
modern civilization, living his life
in his own sufficient way, oblivious
Of many things that the rest of us
think indispensable.-New York
