OTHER PEOPLE'S BUSINESS.

I've been thinking, I've been thinking,
What a glorious world were this,

Did folks mind their own business more,
And mind their ueighbor's lesa,

For instance, you aud I, my triend,
Are sadly prone to talk

Of matters that concerns us not,
And athers’ follies mock:

I've beeen thinking, if we'd begin
‘Te mind our own affiirs,

That possibly our neighbors might

Jontrive to manage theirs,

We've faults enough at home to mend—
It may be so with others;

It would seem strange if it were not,
Since all mankind are brothers,

Ol! would that we had charity,
Por every man and woman ;
Forgiveness is the mark of those
Who know to “err is human.’’
Then let us banish jealousy -—
Let's lift our fallen brether,
And as we journey down life’s road,
‘Do good to one another,’’

CRIME DETECTED ;
OR, THE MIDNIGHT WATCH.
BY Ago

I pon’r think that I was ever out in a
hotter day in Australian than the one of
which Lam now about to write. The sun
had been pouring down streams of fitey
light, that made me thank my stars I was
notin ‘Force’ uniform, though, as it was,
the heat burning through the tweed coat
upon my back made me feelas if it was
cast iron, and rivited upon my body. My
poor animal felt the fatigue and almost in-
sufferable heat quite us much as I did, 1
dare say; while the tlies, those torment-
ing nuisances of bush life, nearly droye
both him and me mad,

Very beautiful in early merning is the
green scattered ‘*bush” of Australia, A

:| thousand beauties may be freshly discoy-

ered, us it were, at every fresh mile of
travel. In one spot, grand, crooked old
leayes lean caressingly over some tortuous
and glistening creek, or stand sentinel over
their own reflections in the placid water.
Early birds calls to each other from scent-
cd golden wattles, or wash themselves in
the shadow of the old gum-trees upon the
vdge of the ereek. It it is te season
for the stately magpie, le utters those de-
licious gurgles of music, that cannot be
compared with the notes of any other bird
in the wide world, or stulks proudly over
the y slopes, as if he really believed
he and his were ‘monarchs of all they
surveyed,”

Later in the day, too, when the thermo-
meter stands no higher than 103 or 104 or
so, one may yet enjoy a ride through the
elades of our eastern forest, The screams
of the cockatoos are discordant, no doubt,
but how enjoyable it is to catch a glimpse
of them hovering over some tall tree or
resting upon a bough, with outspread wing
swaying themselves to and fro in the very
enjoyment of pure life. Cawing crows
are nasty things, too, and suggestive of
something that one dosen't at all want to
come in contact with; nevertheless. their
feathers are so glossy and black, and the
elear blue sky unflecked by a single cloud,
throws their wings out into such boll re-
lief nbove the grecn tree-tops, that one
cannot but try to forget their disagreeable
habits. and admire them as a part of a
yery Australian bush seene.

fell, L cannot be sure that you will es-
actly know what Tam driving at, but lam
coming to the point. After assuring you
that 1 admire and enjoy the beauty of bush
secnery as much as any one, when it is
really admirable and enjoyable, T defy any
man living to picture to hims(If or to en-
dure a more detestable ordeal than a ride
through that same beautiful bush scenery
on the sort of day when my story com-
menees, Over a long, broad, treeless
plain, we will say, with the sun burning
up every blade of grass dry and brown,
und pouring down upon your miserable
heads; oron a lonely track, when ouly
now and then a tree comes aggravatingly
near the road to make you wish for
shade, if it were but for one moment; 1
say aggrivatingly. for I think that, with
respect to shade, those same cnea pti are
the most aggravating trees in the universe,
Fortunately [ was in no hurry upon that
particular day. I was returning trom the
suceesstul accomplishment of a tronble-
some piece of police busin and was
only anxions to get to my destination for
the night, and over the seemingly intermi-
nable day of heat [had just passed through ;
but had [been upon the most urgent busi-
ness in the world, it would have been next
to impossible for my poor horse to have
gulloped many ailes ata stretch, with the

thermometer standing so high as it did

that day.

Poor Vino! T fanoy IT see her now, as

we neared the lonely bush inn, where she

was as certain as L was myself of rest and

refreshment. She was a glossy bright

bay, strongly built, and yet a half-blood ;

and although she bore no broad arrow

branded on her silky coat, she had Leen in

the Foree many years. She was a detce-

tive's animal, and [had ridden her most

of the three years during which [ had seen

colonial service, Ido believe she was al-

most as good as a detective, as 1 was my-

self; and Lam not ashamed to own that

her sagacity and instinet--whatever you
may choose to call it—gave me many a
hint, of which I never found it tu my dis-
advantage to avail myself.

The sun then was just dipping below
the tops of the trees as Vino pricked up
her cara with a glad whinny, and [ per-
ceived, away through the heavy bush that
was thickly seattered over the grassy plain
over which we passed, the long, weather
boarded “Wallaby Hotel,” which was my
destination for the night. I had been there
before, butin such diferent guise, that I
had no tenr of mine hoste recognizing me ;

bullock dray approaching it from an oppo-
site direction to that in which I iuyself
travelled, and just as I drew up at the door
the team also came toa halt in front of it;
while the driver leisurely tumbling himself
off the empty dray, proceeded into the bar,
one might guess for the purpose of obtain-
ing a nobbler., All this was very natural,
and there was nothing whatever suspicious
about it; butasthis man passed Vino, from
whose back I had just alighted, she turn-
ed her head sideways, with a suspicious
twist that 1 well knew and gave a sniff at
the man’s back, pretty much as a dog
might do, when he happened to come in
contact with a person, his instinct told him,
was not to be trusted,

‘This was quite enough for me; and as I
threw the bridle over the hook, I took a
close survey of the bullock driver, Ue
was a young, fair haired, and soft-featured
man, certainly not more than twenty-seven
years of age, dressed in the usual careless
dress of a teamster; and the expression in
his face of listless dreaminess—in sho t,
just such an expression as one might ex-
pect to see in the face of a man of little
intelligence, who passed most of his time
on the monotonous roads of a bush coun-
try.

As T entered the bar he asked for a pint
of ale, and, receiving it, sat down on a
bench that ran along the wall, and seemed
absorbed in imbibing it, and in gazing
listlessly out at his bullocks. Casting but
nu glance at him as I passed, I informed
the landlord of my intention of passing
the night there, and requested that my
horse might be carefully attended to, I
have already spoken of my tweed co t. 1
was dressed in a suit of tweed, and to all
ay ance might have been a eemfortable
farmer, or a country storekeeper oa my
way to, or from transacting some business
connected with my livilihood, at the not
very distant large township.

“T's been a terrible hot day, landlord.”
T observed, as I availed mysel! of the drink
[ had ordered.

“Vrighttul, sir,” he replied, glancing at
the thermometer that hung in the bar be-
hind him. * At two o'clock the glass stood
at 112, and I say that’s two hot for any
white man.”

“Orabhlack one either,” I answered care-
lessly. ‘Well, will you see about my an-
imal, if you ple By and by, when I
get a bit cool, Pl go and see that she’s all
right myself,”

The landlord left to see after Vino, and
Tremained sipping my brandy and water,
and slyly watching the bullock driver, who
still kept silence opposite. Ilis eyes seem-
ed tobe fixed on the belt of the forest,
which skirted the grass a little distance;
and had it not been for the entire absence
of any intellectual appearance of face or
OXpre mn, one might have fancied he was
aged in trying to solve some knotty
problem, to the entire forgetfulness ol
everything around him,

At this momenta woman entered the
bar. Iam not one to forget faces readily ;
itis my trade to remember, and I recollect-
ed having seen the very same face when I
visited the ‘ Wallaby” some eighteen
months before. This woman was a quiet,
staid-looking person of about thirty years
of age, precise ‘in her moyements, and
rather slow. She was quite respectable
looking, but had not a single iota of the
too common ‘flashiness” of a colonial bar

of a manner, without lifting her eyes, that
I could observe, from her employment.
My seat commanded a view of both her
and the bullock driver, it is true, but my
thoughts were engaged so entirely with the
latter that I paid but little attention to the
bar-maid, and she wasnot one of those ob-

rusive ones, who, for “the good of the

1ouse,” will insist upon making themselves

conspicuous,

My man, however, appeared so com-

pletely absorbed in his ale and himself, and

manitested so little inclination to move.

that at length T turned my regards toward

the woman, At the moment [ did so, she

lifted her eyes carelessly toward the door,

and something she saw there distended

them with some feeling of terror, while her

checks grew ashy pale, and herlips as rig-

id as stone; the glass in her hand, too,

had almost eseaped hey fingers, but, with

a strong efforts she placed it upon the tray

and cadght hold of the counter as if to

support herself, while she turned a quick,

piercing glance first toward me, and then

toward the bullock-driver—there her eyes

rested.

Naturally I looked at the door to sce

what had occasioned the strange change in

this quiet woman's face. TI saw nothing

that could possibly have affeeted her, turn

it any way I would. ‘The patient-looking
bullacks were standing drowsily under
their heavy yokes directly in front of the
entvance and nothing else was in view,
save a grassy patch of land over their Lacks
and further away the green bush, now be-
ginning to look dimmer, that the sun liad
nearly set. and was throwing long shadows
beneath the trees

Town to being completely puzzled but
was beginning to be quite in my clement.
I like to be puzzled; and the detective in-
stinct has grown so strong with habit, that
to perecive there is a secret, isto give me
an insatiable craving to find it out.

T could not fancy the bar-maid was ac-
quainted with the man, for the gaze she
fixed on him was not one in which was the
anxiety to find some trace of old acquaint
ance, it was a look with which you might
regard a person in some way notorious to
find out what constituted his peculiar dif
ference from other of his fellow men, And
yet tho woman's eyes still retained that
strange terror with which she had seen the
unknowing something in her look oat
through the doorway.

All this, you wilt understand, scareely

handled whip which he had leaned against
the seat and went to look out ot the door
likewise, and then he returned to the bar,
and called for anobbler of spirits. ‘Tossing
it off al a mouthful, as it were, he appear-

outside, und commenced rapidly to unyoke

in my pockets, to watch my friend the

“Yes” he answered, quietly. “I did

it's later that I thought; and the day’s been
so terrible hot the cattle’s regular baked.”

STANCES.—lIv is a custom too common with
the men of the world to keep their families
in utter ignorance of the situation of their
business. The wife knows nothing—has
not even an idea—of the amount otf her
husband's fortune, whether it is to be
counted by hundreds or thousands. What
can a woman, kept in such ignorance,
learn? She spends, as a matter of course,
all he give? her to spena, with a full confi-
dence that when that is gone, and she asks
for it, he will give her more. If an un-
married woman works, she may go with a
bold, unblushing face, and demand her
wages; but a wife can demand nothing;
her cluim is only for bare necessity; and
generous men, on that account, are often
too indulgent—too fearful of letting a wife
know the exact state of their fortune. ‘Tis
all wrong. Husband and wife have a mu-
tual interest; every wife should know the
exact state of her husband's finanees, un-
derstand his plans, and aid him, it possible,
with her counsels, and then these terrible
extastrophes would not so often happen.
Many a wile who is plunging her husband
leeper and deeper into debt from ignor-
ance, would, it she knew his embarrass-
ments, be the first to retrench, the first to
save, and with truce womanly sympathy
and generosity, help him to reinstate his
falling fortunes,

Famine in Spars.—Advices from Spain
stife that there is more distress through-
out the country than at any previous time
during the last half century. Entire pro-
vinces aie even now, in the height of sum-

famine, and the prospects of the revenue
collections are proportionately jeopardised.
From Old Castile, always regarded as the
granary of Spain, thousands, itis said, are
locking to the neighboring provinces in
search of labor and food, and the streets
at the chief central cities, and even of the
apital itself, are crowded with an influx
of people imploring aid for themselves and
heir families. A general opinion seems
prevalent that affairs cannot remain in their

Tlow Manvractunrs Devetor a City.-«
A good illustration of what manulactures
will do fora place when encouraged (says
a Pennsylvania paper) is afforded by the
flourishing town of Canton, Ohio, where
reapers and mowers are made. When the
inventor went there a lew weeks ago, it
was the dullest and least progressive town
in the State, and was retrogading in wealth
‘and population, Ie asked for ten thou-
sind dollars from the citizens to help him,
‘They raised and gave itto him. The fol-
lowing are the results of the investment :—
Two large agricultural implement manu-
actories of plows excessively, one of stoves
and hollow ware, one of reaper and mow-
xv Knives, and of saddlory hardware, two
of horse rakes, one of farm wagons, one
of cultivators, one of wrought iron brid-
gcs. one of sonps, and others more or less

The machine interest alone supports two

Our Heavy Taxrs—Wia tin Prorin
BEAR THEM.—The people of the United
States are more heavily taxed than any
ther people in the world. Even in Eng-
Iand, where there is a stupendousnational
debt and one Jarger than ours, and where
there is 8 costilo system of royal govern-
ment to support, the taxes are are net so
great or burdensome. We speak only of
national taxation. But if we take into
account our local taxes, in addition to those
imposed by the federal government, to our
State, county and municipal taxes, the bur-
don is enormous beyond anything known or
borne heretofore, The patient submission
of the Amorican people is surprising, Ne
other peoplo having the same liberty and
suffrage and tree election of those whp
make the laws and govern the covntry
would submit to such overwhelming ang
unnecessary taxation. But will the Am-
ocrigan people continue to bear it? We
think not, for to do so would be contrary
to all experience and to human nature.
One of two things must happen; either
the taxes must be grately reduced oy
repudiation in some form or other will be
resurted to lor reliel.—N. Y. Herald.

A French paper gives the following re-
ccipt: In order to make an Ophelia bonnet,
go into the garden or to a Flourist’s. ‘Take
ten or fifteen roses or other flowers, work
them into a wreath, which place around
your head, and that crown is the bonnet,
in place of flowers you may take fruit,
but if you determine on strawberries, be
rearefut not to have them too ripe.
