A gentleman once asked a little girl an only child, how many sisters she had, and was told three or four." "Her mother asked Mary, when they were alone, what induced her to tell such an untruth. "Why. mama, cried Mary, "I didn't want him him to think you were so poor that you hadn't but one child. Wouldn't he thought we were drefful poor

WHAT IT IS TO BE A WIDOW. "I think it must be a jolly thing to be a young widow 1" I heard this remark tbe other day in a group of laughing girls. I think I remember saying such a thing myself in my girlish times Do you know, girls, what It is to be widow? It is to be ten times more open to comment and criticism than any demoiselle could possibly be. It is to have men gaze as you pass, first at your black dress and then at your widow's cap, .until your sensitive nerves iuiver under the iafliotion. It is to have one ill-natured person say, "I wonder how long she will wait before she" marries again?" and another answer, "Uuntil she gats a good chance, I suppose." It is now and then you meet tbe glance of real sympathy, generally from the poorest ana humblest women that you meet, and feel your eves fill at the token so rare that It is, alas I unlooked for. It is to hava your dear fashionable friends console you after the following fashion: "Ob, well, it is a dreadfull loss. We knew you'd feel it, dear." And in the next breath, "you will be sure to marry again, and your widow's cap is very becoming to you."

Hut It is more than this to be a widow It is to miss tbe strong arm you have leaned upon, tbe true faith that you knew could never fail vou though all tbe world might forsake you. It is to miss the dear voice that utttered your name with a tenderness that none other could give it. It is to bear no more the well-known footsteps that you flew so gladly once to meet. You see no more tbe face that to your adoring eyes seemed as the face or the angels of God. To feel no more the twining arms that folded you so lovingly, the dear eyes that looking into your own, said plainly, whatever It might seem to others yours was the fairest face earth held for him. It is to fight with a mighty sorrow as a man fights with the waves that overwhelm him, and hold it at arm's length for awhile only to have, in the hours of loneliness and weakness, the torrent roll over you, while,

storm-driven dove, you see no ?.•:

to the half ednoated young girl, trashy nonsense is devoured by bundreds of work girls, and creates an unhealthy yearning for the heroio. and a dislike for their day work existence. Such reading famlllaries them with the 'details of viciousness, and their better ,, nature is overslaughed by tbe ficticious existences depicted, and the ability to resist temptation is slowly but surely weakened. There is no doubt that many a weak minded girl can trace the

beginning of her downfall back to the insidious lessons of that class of literaturo. As tbe law is helpless in killing all the noxious weeds that crowd the literary field, a closo supervision by parents and guardians over the publications that fina their way into the family circle, and the exclusion of all of an immoral or sickly romantic character shoul«i be strictly observed. Such publications are prolific fountains of vice. They bring disgrace and destruction upon all weak enough to be influenoed by their baleful teachings.

A little girl, not far from Schenectady, after noticing for some time tbe glitter-

HIS RIDKR.—It was

a happy day for the horse and his rider wbon tbe Mustang Liniment was intioduced as a core tot the external diseases and injuries of both. In the stable, the barn and the household tbia wonderfal emollient is eq sally nsetul. If a horse is spavined, or foundered, or hsrness-gallea, or afflicted with any other of the many superficial ills thai equine flesh is beir to, the Liniment effects a speedy cure, and it is equally efficacious when applied to draught oxen or cows suffering rrom outward swell ings, strains, or harts of any description. As an application for bruises cuts, burns, rheumatism, stiff joints, sprains, neuralgia, earache and toothache, it takes precedence for all other tropical remedies, and is therefore an article of prime necessity in families.

The magnitude to which the sewlng'machine business has grown is only surpassed by me rivalry of the various competitors, few of whom are unfamlllai with the numerous artifices resorted to for the commendation and sale of tbe particular machine sought to be sold. If the number of sales be any criterion of merit, the Singer seems to bear the palm, as shown by sworn returns of tbe companies, made under tbe licenses granted them by the owners of the

IT.—While tbe

"Fat Contributor" was lecturing at Cairo, receutly, the gas went out just as he got to the place where tbe second laugh comes in. The lecturer took in the situation at onc«L and continued his remarks without tbe least pause or hesitation, as though nothing unusual had happened. The audience were not notwitbstand- ... it, and laughed until the tears ran down their obeeks. At the close of tho lecture Grls held a consultation with the Janitor before leaving the platform, and then stated to the audience, as though it was a matter of surprise to bim that he had been informed that there had been something wrong with the light* during the lecture, in consequence of a new metre being placed in the building. Whether it was long or short metre he could not say, but he was sure it did not metre expectations.
