TILE BACHELOR’S W ILL.
l'lte sun of an August day was sending golden s.. il'ls through the . interlacing foliage oteisimdowing a limpid trout stream.
A young titan was kneeling beside it, polo in ostensibly fishing, but thepcc.kled i.eni/i its uf the brook had but
litliu cause tor alarm. Tito cool brain and steady hand, so dangerous to their
oaoo under ordinary circumstances, were not really putting forth any ellbrts against them.
it was a handsome young lace turned in mieli evident eagerness toward the taint-
defined foot-path leading through the woods to the sylvan spot. The features wete most loo regularly lor tnaseuliue ideas of beauty; but tho firm way the ted lips were sot together, and the massive ehiu redeemed litem item weakness.
He started to his loot as the crackling of dry leaves aud twigs betrayed an advancing lootstep. Another moment and a bicathless young creature was beside him, panting from Iter rapid approach.
‘ 1 begau to think you were not coming, LH>f, and that my holiday was to prove a failure.”
‘U was by the merest aeeideut I got away. Father hardly trusts me. out of tis sight. But he was called oft on un
expected business, and I ’ve run every step. I feel so guilty alL the time— f can t do it uuless tilings change.”
‘ Dot,” began Pitidip, reproachfully.■I know it is hard,' continued the girl,
“ but I am as milch the sTitlercT by it as you are. Tho', I’ ltil,’ with a sudden intensity iu iter voice, "one thing I can do. i solemnly promise not to marry any out? but him f love, and that is—you know who.”
-’That is poor comfort, Dot. To know that llie girl you would shed your heart’s blood for cannot even give you a kind word now and then to keep up your spoils! i shall half tho lime think you are forgetting me, aud making up your mind to marry the man your lather is so taken, with.”
“ Vou arc very different from the idea have o f you if you give Avay to any
such feeling. Why, Foil, alt the people in the world eouldii t make me believe you false, if you had promised to be true. But L must go. i just came to tell you — no matter what happens—thatloreecould not drag me into a marriage with OmVau Jim.-motv, anti to say ‘gook-by’ until we can meet as we used to, with the luii consent of lather.”
“Tliat’U never be!” was the gioomy tuswer. “ It’s ‘good-bye’ forever. Dm sure. I wish that old cousin o f yours had left his money to some one else. It has destroyed our happiness. Your lather seemed to like me until that will made you ;m heiress and Oram Dinstnore begau coming to the house. Much as he might have been taken with your looks, ito’d never have bothered liis head about you uuless there had been a prospect o f’ adding to Ms possessions. I know him.', o f old. and lie’s as tight as the hark o f n tree.”
“ Really, Philip, you are complimeuta-'- ry. So money is the sum of my ambition, is it?”
But there was no vexation in the eyes she turned upon his troubled face. Hers was a true, truthful nature and site understood her lover’s meaning, tliougli-'-slie' tried to speak lightly and playfully, to prevent a painful parting scene',:"Tears •wore near iter eyes, but she forced them back. She must be strong for both. She held out her hand.
“ Good-bye, Philip. Don’t be discour-, aged; all will come right yet.’ ’ -- 11
Philip took the little baud in his brown' palm mill gazed longingly into the SAveet young lace. Then lie said: ' ’ '
“Won't you give me one parting kiss, Dot?”
“ Yes, Philip, kiss me here,” touching a slender linger to one of her soft cheeks, “ aud from this time that place shall be sacred from tlie touch o f other lips until avc meet again.”
Philip kissed the cheeks which.flushed redly at flic touch of Ids'lips. D'ot -was chary of permitting caresses, and though they had been fond o f one another from their boy and girls days, Philip had never presumed to kiss her, uuless when playing a game of forfeits in some of tlie merry gatherings which are sometimes giyen.. in country neighborhoods for the double! purpose o f drawing the young people together and of helping the farmers to husk their corn, or get the rosy produce o f the.,, orchards into festoons o f neatly pared and quartered apples to dry,-on the prin- iiple that many bauds and nimble fingers - make tight aud pleasant work.
The next moment lie was.following the lithe figure with sad eyes until it had dis-' appeared under tlie overhanging branches. lie lacked Dot’s’ faith in the kind-’ ness of the future. He could only anticipate a long separation, and perliatls estrangement; aud it was with a heavy heart he gathered up Ms felling 'tacle and started for home. A distant relative of the Ingraham’s had died, and Avilled-' his property to Ms cousin, Dorothy lii-- graham. During Ids lifetime he liad never showed that he Avas aware-.of ilia, existence o f our little Dot, aud itiSvas-iaF great surprise to her when the old . gentleman's solicitor caino from Hew York^ With the intelligence that he iia’d Made7 her Ms heiress. At first it was a pleasure to the girl, and she .built ij pretty “castles in the air” aboutitiie swaya: she would use her woallh, until, a change-
listen to his suit, which w.as. now, .openly; ■ declared. 'She had now tried to discourage him by treating Mm with marked coolness ’ and indifference; bn the' would -- not take n jrepulse, anji 1 ler, 1 ife. was gro\y,

So things went ou froth bad’ to worke, until Dot would hayq bccii glad, i f her inheritance had'been siink in the,sba. 'At last another actor' a peiirfe’il—a ,:yoiihg ' girl, Avho created quite Asensation in the ; quiet village. She was from 'iv cifcyiu the far West, and was very pretty, and. knew just what colors to choose for her toilet to set off the tints o f her glowing brunette complexion. . . ’ * J ^
Dot’s heartfelt like lead in her bosom,, when one day she met the stranger walking jauntily by_ Philip's side. She lytis shortly, afterward introduced tb her, tinu ’• for a few; monieuts a •Jiatotulispiijit.sug-, gested that’she should make herself disagreeable;! but slio fcsdlHteij’ fiut the' temptation away from ’ hertluii’ appeared’ ’ her own ilaturnl, lovable self.;; She soon' - ceased to wonder . at i.Philip V,evident, pleasure in Miss Belmont's society. She \yas so frank, and .cheerful,, and -sparkling iu her chnyersatiqn $iat( she was. wop,from her prejudice^ and they grew,to be friends, f ‘ ’ ’ . ; ! ’

It was a great Surprise when Eate' Said to her one day, halt jestingly :, . ,
“ How strange that you don’t like Mr. Dinsmore better! I have taken a great fancy to him, but have studibusTy avoided being even pleasant-to,him, fori rumor gave him; to you; and thinking hint your special property, I didn’t want td‘‘play with edged tools.’ -But’if'you don’t- ldv6‘ him I shalludopt-different .tactics—.for :IU think he is perfectly splendid!” , ;

How pass'it Under the blast, aud the Avax will not be injured at all, but the: s'alifl'Afill •cut letters deep into the stone. , . .
O r, i f you desire raised letters, a Jlow -r ef or other emblem, cut the letters, flow-* (er?, etc., in Wax and stick them upon tlie stone;, then pass the stone uuder tlie blast and tile sand w ill cut it away. Remove
ithe wax, and you have the raised letters.., Take a; piece of French pk&ljglass, say 2x0 feet, and cover it witli fiul§!faee, pass it under the bias!; and not a thread of tlie

Th'e Porcelain Tow er.The celeirated Porcelain Tower, . near
NanKihg, jChina, is described by a traveler; who says:
“In the Iquiet evening we made our way out o f the city by the South gate, through* a fvelL constructed tunnel, and slfoftfy’stood irpon an eminence w|rdse , surface was''a' iira&s o f debris,’ con- ' sjstmg o f broken bricks, tile and plaster 1 three feet duck. This was all—all: that > was left of that which, for its historic beauty, -the ingenuity o f its construction, and its gr-cirt cost took rank with the won- ders o f thq world—the famous Porcelain Tower. If must have -been, very beauti? ful iii ife perfection, i f we accept the statements] o f its various historians, who’ differ so’ little'in theif accounts that one does for all. From them We learn that; its form, was octagonal, nine stories high, tapering as it ‘ rose, to the bight o f 201 feet from the ground, the circumference o f the. lower story being ISO teet.'"The body o f tlje pagoda-was'of brick; but its- face was composed o f porcelain tiles of- many colors, Each .story formed; a.kind o f saloon, 'through which rah the spiral staircase leading to' the suffiinit,: aiid whose walls were covered with small * gilded idols, resting in niches; the entire , apartmentj richly. painted and gijded. Each story was defined by a projecting cornice.-off green tiles, from whose point gilded bells Were hung. The roof w as: overlaid with copper, and above it rose, a mast thirty feet high capped by a golden ball aud feoiled about-by an immense baud o f iron appearing like rings from below. Tlie base o f this shaft was an iron ball formed of. two, halves, the outer,. surface oftwhichfe magnificently embossed. I say is, for‘one half rests where it fell,- tlie only tangible ‘ thing in- the-mass-' o f ruin. , The' Other - half weighing. 12. tons being broken by, the fall, was recast, into a teniple bell.

The ball was. tlie receptacle o f various treasures calculated to ward o f all evil influences: among which were “bright shilling jewels,” ’ pearls, hooks, gold, silver, thousands of -strings o f cash, satins, silks and priceless medicine.

Horses for E xport.The exportation o f American horses to
foreign countries, already quite an extensive traff c, bida fair to he one o f great importande. A single concern in New York annually sends 2,000 horses and mtiles to the West Indies. Many fine hied-Ken ucky horses have been stripped to France arid England, The Commissioner pf Agriculture has recently received a 1 stter from General Stone, Cairo, Egyjitj.in Which he says: “English and Scottish I orse-raisers, who have been in the habit af furnishing carriage horses of high quality to this country, now state that thej cannot compete at home with the horse raisers o f Kentucky and Ohio, who send fine carriage horses to England and far undersell the native Englislr raisers. This being the case,4t seems to me :fhat sj good' gt'acfe o f carriage horse might be exported from Baltimore to

According to report from the other! side of the Atlantic it pays to breed tlraroughbreds in England, and sell
: thermits yearlirigs. “During-the past year 555 yearlings were disposed o f there .under-the shammer at an average of over $1,000 per head. Prices far in excess ot this Sum were obtained for tire get of some o f ftlie most fashionable staiiions, which, of course, helps to swell the 'gene- ralaverage, yet carelubbreeders have almost invariably; received, renumerative prices for their animals. ’vThere is' no’•‘aoubt A&erican horse breeders may profit-by the English demand, not only in

More British.Fish Money.. Mr. Welsh, before resigning his office
o f United States minister, laid before the British government a demand for $103,000 to pay fo r the Fortune bay outrage on an American fishing vessel and crew ; and the London Times regards the case' as a serious one, as it is. There is a later demand, o f a less serious .aspect becaus'e the act was not accompanied by m ob violence, but it is equally serious diplomatically, and i t is bearing on the fisheries question. This is a claim fo r damage^ which .will probably b e promptly presented by Miv'Welsh’s successor, in a case in which an Am erican fisherman put into a. British provincial hay to catch young squid for bait, but was forbidden to fish in the hay by the local authorities, and was driven off by the evident -intention to arrest his boats and crews in case they should attempt to take Squid in the bry, thus breaking up the voyage and causing loss. This in spite o f the fact that the treaty o f W ashington gives Am erican fishermen the: right to'catch bait in British waters. These tw o bills for damages are probably .only the first drops o f a shower o f the same sort, unless the authorities o f the maritime British provinces seriously alter their courses. A t present, they take the ground that the local ■laws o f each petty colony override the rights granted the U nited States fishermen b y treaty. I f this ground were at all tenable, it m ust exist on both sides, and any one Of our States would have the right to set aside and annul the treaty; by forbidding the sale o f Canadian fish in ito markets. I t is manifest as a common sense proposition that a- treaty made by a national pow er and authority m ust he binding on all the members o f the nation, and lffust “ therefore override and annul any hostile local law or authority.— Post and Tribune.
.The. planters o f Mississippi not long ago.'took to Kansas on an excursion a large number o f colored men, w ith the intent o f having them examine that State and go back to Mississippi to report to the negroes that they had better. stay at home.

State bloom s like a garden, and tlie climate was delicious. The re-, sulfc was likely to stimulate, instead o f check, the dreadful negro exodus from
.Mississippi; A b ou t one-quarter o f the' colored! committee o f inspection, have saf ely arrived in Kansas, hired out to the fanners and refused to go hack. Others on returning home immediate

A n epocli in tlie experience of many lovers o f good books will be marked by tlie completion o f the new A cm e edition o f Chambers’ Cyclopedia o f English Literature. Tlie announcement o f a work o f such superior excellence, in form an.d style so convenient and becoming, at prices so nominal was more than a surprise to the reading public, and many questioned the possibility o f its'publ ication, except at great loss o f money.
The publishers evidently knew their ground. They have not onlv fulfilled their promise to the public, but, by accomplishing a work so extraordinary, have attracted the attention o f almost the entire reading community to their various literary enterprises, and have secured for this work a sale .beyond precedent in the history o f book-selling.
It is peculiarly a work worthy o f universal circulation. It is not only a collection o f rare literary interest, beauty and merit-, a concentration of the best productions o f English and Am erican intellect, from earliest to recent times, but is also in a large degree, a key and index to all other good books in the language, enabling one to see and judge for liimself which are best worth his reading.
H ow that tlie work is completed, the publishers lim it the number o f styles in which it is made to those which have proved the most popular, as follows : 4 vols. (over 3,200 pages), cloth, $2.00; 4 vols., half morocco, $3.00; 4 vols., half Russia, gilt top, printed on finer and heavier paper, with ^wide margins, $4.00. B y mail, postage extra, 40 cents, A merican Book Ex change, 55 Beekinan, St., H ew Y ork ,' publishers.
A Library o f Universal Knowledge, in 20 vols., nearly 20,000 pages, handsomely bound, and all for $10.00, with special inducements besides to early subscribers, is announced by the same publishers. It w ill be similar in character to the Cyclopedias o f Appleton and Johnson, only more extensive, though but a fraction o f their cost.
Other recent publications o f this house are, Rollins A ncient History, $2.25; Josephus’ Complete Works, $200, and Smith’s Bible Dictionary, $1.00, all in large type and handsomely bound. Also, o f Juveniles, in large type, they have issued Arabian Rights and Robinson Crusoe, for 55 cents each; Bunyan’s Pilgrims’ Progress and Travels o f Baron Munchausen, 50 cts. each, and Stories and Ballads for Y oung Folks, by E. T. Alden, $1.00.
A large number of standard books will be added to tlieir list during the season, Tlieir complete revised cata- lsgue, with fu ll particulars, w ill be sent on request. Address, A merican Book Exchange, 55 Beekman St., H ew York.

- Suicide .—Buchanan was made a scene o f excitement, Tuesday evening about 0 o’clock, by the announcement, by Mr. G. H . French, that his father- in-law, John M .B eyer, had committed suicide by hanging. Justice D ick was called and at once repaired to the farm o f Mr. Geverv where a jury o f six persons was impaneled and an inquest held. The facts as elicited are substantially that a b ou t! a . m ., he called lj is son Carson to his room and gave him his pocket-book, notes and other valuables, and made some explainations regarding his wishes. When Carson asked him the meaning o f all that, he replied that he was going to leave this world. Carson plead with him to give up that resolution, hut without avail. Mi*. Gey or told one o f the younger boys to hitch up a horse and they would go to town, and started toward the’bat’ll himself. This was the last that w a s ‘ seen o f him alive. lie was soon missed and search was insti- ed for him until about live o’clock that evening, when Mr. French found him hanging to a limb in an apple-tree on the north side o f his orchard, and about sixty rods from the bouse, where he had been since morning. The following morning a hotUe containing laudanum was found lying under the tree nearly empty, which, together with the placid appearance o f the features, which did not show the least sign of pain having been lelt, leads to the onelusion that he had climbed into the
tree, adjusted the rope, then taken the deadening poison, and when nearly asleep had fallen from his position to the support o f the rope. AYhy he should onimit this act o f self destruction is
a mystery unsolved, for he was not in needy circumstances, had a family o f ten as fine children as-can be found in any single family, and was 1o all appearance as happy a man as is common to find. He was a thorough business man. shrewd, yet liberal in all o f his dealings with neighbors, friend-, or sti.ingvrs. The iuneral was held this
venontt under the auspices o f Minimi t Lodge F A. M „ o f which he was m active member, and was one o f the I.uge.a t-\t-r lu l l in Buchanan. By his death Xiles township Lises one o f her best citizens.

P r o bably the largest crowd ever assembled at Diamond Lake, was there last Thursday, at the Soldiers’ lleunion. The steamer was eniployed all day in conveying passengers to and from the island. The crowd was such as to ho very uncomfortable,and when leaving the island and thef people were crowded down to the wharf, and below the hill, where not a breath o f air was stirring, many were made faint for the want o f breath. One lady was in the crowd with her babe o f less than a year o f age and it was so smothered as to cause the death o f the little one before it arrived ashore. Other than this no serious mishap occurred to mar the pleasures o f the day. The day was a good harvest for the proprietors o f the island, for we learn they took in about §2,500 during tlie day.

It has totally failed to bear a crop but once since it was planted. The yield o f figs, the present season, was about two bushels. The tree is laid down each fall and slightly protected with soil. Mr. Archer has been well paid each year in fruit for liis labor in caring for it. Mr. Archer feels Confident that this fruit can be grown here successfully.

This y. ur lour of them under tlie control o f Mr. I. 15.

“L u cky” B ald w in , the great millionaire o f California, well-known by some in this place, has come to grief, which is briefly explained by tlie Y ir- ginia City (Xevada) Chronicle. I t says o f his illicit distilling scrape:
“That is not a good place into which lie has drawn himself. I t is most difficult to see how he can escape the penitentiary for life. His wealth may save him, because it is hard for even the L'nited States to cause a conviction where the defendant has unlimited means with which to purchase w itnesses, But it is safe to believe that by this time Baldwin thinks o f passing raw California brandy off for good old Otard, under the stamp o f the government, is far from being a satisfactory business after a man is caught engaging in it. I t is beyond comprehension that a man w ith Baldwin’s wealth and supposed sagacity, could he involved in such dangerous business, l ie lias already a great deal more money than lie can legitimately use, and yet to gain more lie deliberately faces the penitentiary. H e cannot plead a poor man’s excuse. H e is exposed as a man who, under the protection o f the laws o f this country was enabled to amass a magnificent fortune, now seeks by defrauding the government which has so long shielded him to add to his fortune, I f the result causes him to pass some years o f reflection in striped garments behind the walls o f a bastile, there will not be a, person to exclaim against the justice o f liis punishment.”
A nother still stranger snake story is yet to he related. A young man, attending camp-meeting on Saturday asl, wandered off in th c“ wilds” across
t he Dowagiac creek, whether to seek a secluded spot for secret prayer, or for some other reason, we are not advised. Suddenly, however, the young man discovered that a snake was crawling up his leg, inside o f his pants. Before he was aware o f it tlie serpent was up on Ids thigh. H e put liis hands on his leg and deliberately worked them down, tlie snake gradually retreating, but took refuge, in his boot. F inally be put the dangerously loaded hoot heel against the toe o f his other foot and worked the form er partly off, and with a sudden kick sent the too t high into the air, and to his great relief, the rattle snake, which it proved to he, went With it. The next tim e that young man left the camp-ground he took the main road.”— Xiles Republican.

An Effective Gate-Fastening-.We recently saw a neat, cheap and ef
fective method of fastening a gate, -It was in use on a ranche in Sutter county, and is, we have understood, unpatented,' so that, i f we can make its method evident, our readers may use it everywhere, says the San Francisco Bulletin.
The gate is hinged, and swings in the usual manner, except that it is best to use binges which will allow it to swiug either way with equal ease. Plant the gate posts so that the gate will swing past. Then take a piece o f inch iron, cither square or roundi - Let itj-.be>three;: times as long as.’ One 's!<Je q f tfiesqUjsrgf scantling used at the end o f the gate.

Dear jSi’r—Upon receipt o f the Pilules, X gave two boxes to Mr. Frank Collins, who lives m a small boat
son the Wabash river. Him and his boy had the chills during eighteen months, and tried all medicine recommended, and all doctors, to no purpose. Mr. Collins had given up all hope, said nothing short of death would relieve him, hut after Mr. Collins and his boy bad taken the two boxes they felt mnchbetter; I then g&ve him one more box, which they took, and it entirely cured them.- I t is now five months since they commenced using the Bilnles, and the chills have not yet returned. Their condition was not changed as theyar^still living on the boat.
I . frequently have calls for the Pilnles; send me three dozen boxes by mail. Yours truly,

Itried the various liniments and rheumatic cures, but without the least beuefit, when my son, a druggist, suggested one o f your Collin* s’Voltaic P lasters. Theefiectwas almost magical, for, to my grateful surprise, I was.almost immediately well again, and was able to w ork upon m v farm as usual, whereas, before the application or the Plaster, I could do nothing, aud every step gave me pain. A fe w weeks since, otic year from the first attack, the disease returned, but I am happy to say the second Plaster proved as efiieuciou9 as the first, and V am now well.

Wanted.—Meat and, not Fat. ?Butchers in America ns well as in-Eng-
land, and Scotland evidently see -signs of. tho approach o f a radical chahge.iu f pub- lic taste in the; matter o f the meats, wanted for use, fresh on the table, says tiro Stockman. Time.was, they say, when to suit tiic public taste,. meat o f any kind jnust be fat. Now to offend tire public taste oho has, but to sliow meat accompanied by a thick border oftailow. One who was for niany years a successful butcher m Fugland says the disposition is to reject fat in buying beef hr mutton, and we have lately seen in Eugiish papers complaints froin butchers there <5f this tendency . Thej* complain that they cannot afford to buy -fat bullocks and sell the lean flesh only without asking prices which seem to consumers altogether too high in; comparison Witli the prices paid for the living animals. Thure has been less complaint'-about this, perhaps, on this side bf the water, bju.t tho etteet of our financial stress was shown iu another way. People stopped buying meat, when tiiey found they coltld no longer utlord to pay the price o f a prime steak lor tallow, worth .live or six ceuts, perhaps, to the butcher, but worth little or nothing to the average householder. They wanted meat and; not fat for their- moiiey.
No one cau be surprised at the growth ot a disposition to reject fat when fiesli is wauled. People have learned that in fat here is little or no food suitable to this climate, anil to the Wants ot the majority of meat-eaters. There is little muscle forming matter .iu it, aud so it is not an economical food for those who have heavy manual labor to do. For the professional man, anil for all confined to sedentary occupations, no one supposes it fit food. It is to he regretted that our forefathers did not discover litis before they ruined their digestive organs aud bequeathed- to ltiter generations dyspepsia and kindred ills. Tlte stomach of even those .who work iu tho open air much of tho time are scarcely able to digest the quantities of grease they are often charged with, and even the farmers are beginning to see that lilt meat is not always cheap meat. It is true the hired men will cut less fat .pork than lean beef, but he will give in return for tho tut less labor. i f you starve his muscle you cunuot reasonably expect his muscle to give you a liberal and profitable return.

Keep the Cows Healthy. .It is now generally conceded that milk
unduly retained in the udder o f the cow is absorbed. The flow is decreased, and the animal gradually goes dry. Once this process begins, itis next to impossible to bring tlte cow back to her full flow. This is not so bad however, as to allow the bag to become inflamed, aud tints pot- sou the milk. Tltis being tlte case from any cause, the milk should never be used. The milk may not sliow signs o f taint to the eye; it may even taste well, or so nearly right as not to cause alarm; and yet it will taint the entire mess, and in the end tho whole will become little better than poison made into cheese, since then the putrefactive process still goes on. I f the cow shows any tenderness or redness about the udder, or i f it be hard or swollen, discard tlte milk until tlte animal is again all right. Through this care certain dairymen are able to get extra aud uniform prices for their butter aud cheese, tuid especially for the milk sold for family use. Iu tho end they make the most money, for consumers and reputable dealers are apt to be shy o f those who have from time to time sold them such milk, or its butter or cheese.
Hot Water for Hemorrhage.It is not generally known that, in many
cases, hot water is more efficient remedy than cold water in checking hemorrhage. In cases of uterine hemorrhage,after childbirth, or at other times, its action is remarkably prompt. It does not check hemorrhage from large arteries, but is au almost iufallible remedy incases o f capillary opziug, even when all other remedies fail. It should be remembered, however, that warm water will only encourage the bleeding. The water must be as hot as the patient can bear, 112 ° to 120 ° , at least, rarely over the last-named temperature. Tho action of iiot water is to cause contraction o f the small blood-vessels, the effect of its application being, in this respect, similar to that of cold water or ice, but more permanent.—Good,Health.
Canada lias been losing population by emigrants to the United States for the last ten or twenty years, quite rapidly, most o f which finds a lodgment iu the Nortli- wcstjsays the Scientific Record. It is now going on quite as rapidly. Many o f the residents o f Quebec province find their way down into New England to labor iu the factories, aud several of the manufacturing cities have a huge number already. They constitute a quiet, thrifty and orderly element in tlte population o f the country. They area class willing to work and not much troubled about the lengtli o f the day i f they receive corresponding pay. The English element that leaves Cauada impinges more directly upon New York and the western States, and Chicago has many wide-awake and efficient citizens of that sort, who are au honor to that
. metropolis. Then the farms absorb very many, for the Englishman, Scotchman, and Irishman each belongs to the earth- hungering class of mortals, and the richness o f tlte prairie soil entices many of each nationality to dig aud get rich iu land and cattle, as they generally do. It will he many long years before Canada can become a very troublesome commercial rival o f the;United States. At least there is no fear o f it until all the excellent soil o f the Mississippi' valley is occupied too densely to admit of any more new comers. Millions will find homes there before that day can be seen approaching.

A Scotch minister who, after a hard day’s labor,' was enjoying a “tea dinner,” kept incessantly praising the' ham and saying that “ Mis. Dunlop at Fame was as fond'o’ ham as he. was,” when the mistress kindly offered to send her the present: of one. “It’s , unco kin’ o’ ye, unco kin’ ; but I’ll ha put ye to the trouble o’ sending.it, I ’ll- just takit Lame on the ■horse afore me.” When,, on leaving, he mounted, and the ham was put into the sack, soine difficulty was experienced in •getting it to lie properly. His inventive genius soon cut the Gordian knot. “I think, mistress, a clfeese in' the ither end wad mak- a grand - balance.” - The hint was inuiiediately acted on, and, like John Gilpin, he moyed ajvay with this “balance true.”1 f * '
