Christmas-Tide.

Another happy Christmas-tide has come, And blithe belts carol to the frosty skies, The joy of beating hearts and beaming eyes Met once again in many a dear old home.

Bright is the ingle with the yule-log’s blaze, And bright the Christmas wreaths of green and red, Bat brighter far is Leve’s pure halo shed Around this calmest, happiest of days.

For one brief hour the storms of passion cease, And ali the discords of earth's babel-tongue Are husbed to silence by the angels’ song,

‘To God be glory, and on earth be peace.

O fair sweet Advent! Be thy coming blest, In lifting human gaze to Christ above : Then shall our earthly homes or light and

love,

Glow with the presence of a heavenly guest.

Social Types.

DESCRIITION OF VARIOUS COURTINGS, AND FATES WHICH FOLLOW.

The various grades of belles. and beaux that are now on the matrimonial lists will be found in the following table, carefully compiled from cupid’s votaries in onr midst :

Blonde young lady. Dark yeung man. Nice combination. Pretty as a picture. Parents wealthy. Charming alliance. Money in it. She has flirted So has he. That makes them even. She dresses rather loud. He isa perfect pink. She haglovely eyes. He twirls a killing mustache. This is not her first love. Nor his. By a large majority. Lots of fellows have kissed her. And talked sweet. Luve-making is an old story. Yet she likes it. It tickles her fancy. She lives on admiratien and ear- amels. Thinks only two things. Dress and society. Attends every party. But alas! She approaches the sere and yellow. Her admirers are numerous. But youth- ful. Or gray-haired widowers. Something must be done. Sothe dark young man is captured. They are engaged.

SECOND TYPE,

Poor young man. Rich young lady He is considered clever. Sheis plain. No nonsense about her. He is studying law. Business slow but sure. Surefnot to pay. For some years at least. But he loves her. Or thinks he does. Something about her that—. She is the tree on which the fruit of his heart is growing. - He reasons he must love somebody. He is lonesome if he don’t. As easy to love a rich girl as a poor one. Time flies. He woos her. She ridiculus him. Then she pities him. She will bo his friend. We despairs. Gces away. She misses him. They mect at the Y. M. C. A. Hedejected. She sorrowful. Their oyes meet. She says, ‘‘Come and see me.” He does not tarry. She relents. She loves him. Oh, joy, oh, rapture! He wins her parents. They consent.

THIRD TYPE.

Young man on small salary. Admires extravagant young lady. Pretty and knows it. Her father works hard. Just able to support the family. She is indolent. An- other word for lazy. Reads novels. Can play indifferently. Pretends to help her mether. Can’t make biscuits. Has hand- some uew hats. Lets her mother wear the old bonnets. Don’t get up to breakfast. Is careless when alone. Gorgeous when in company. Wants fine feathers. Is a fool- ish little sham. What of the young man? He is foppish. Spends liis small salary. No thought of the future. Can just. sup- port himself. Talks largely. Is inclined to boast. Goes with a fast st. Can’t swim out. Wears cheap jewellery. Wants tobe aswell. A sort of a reaay wade article. Is fascinated with the yousg jady, Thinks her ai angel. Captures her.

She knows it The old man ad- dresses her. Buys diamonds for her. She hesitates. Then succumbs. Whata catch. He gets youth and beauty. She gets money and a lot of stepchildren. They will not eall her ‘‘ mother.” Why? Because they

It is the duty of every person who has used Boschee’s hans Soin to let its! woniertul qualities be known to their friends in curing Consumption, severe | Coughs, Croup, Asthma,Pneumonia, and in| fact ull throat and lung diséases. No per- | gon can use it without immediate relief. | Three doses wiil relieve any case, and we eonsider it the duty of all Druggists to re- comiend it to the poor dyinz consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as 40,000 dozen bottles were sold iast year, and no one case where it failed was reported. Such a medicine as the German Syrup cannot be too widely known. Ask your Druggist about it. Sample Bottles to try sold at 10 conts, Regular size 75 eents. For ale by all Drugyists.

Cabul: Its Fortifications.

Cabul stands on the southern sido of the Cabul River, in the midst of a large plain. Rocky ranges of gneissic formation, running fromm northwest to southeast, overshadow it. It has some 60,000 inhabitants of all reli- gions and races. The thoroughfares in the city are intricate and narrow, and as the town is divided into quarters, which are subdivided into sections by walla and gates, it would be a most favorable scene for strect fighting were the Afghans at all well handled. On the southern range atands the Bala-Hissar, which from its eminence of 159 feet commands the city. The forti- fication is a mile and a quarter in cireum- ference, and has walls (in some cases double and triple) ef stone, brick. and—more gen- erally—mud. There is a large open space in the centre, where stands the royal palace and treasury. In the lower part (the Bala-Hissar Pahin) are about a thousand houses. In the year 1841 the British occupied # cantonment a mile and a half to the north, on a site now covered with fields of grain. The road to this point passes out from the Kohistan gate and leads towards the mountains. By its side stands Sherpur, an enormous line of barracks begun by the late Ameer, whose design was to form a huge fortified inclosure having the Behmaru hills for one side. The line of buildings parallel with the hills has been completed. It is about a mile in length, a series of sinall rooms built against a high, thick mud wall, having an arched verandah running along the front. It is here that the English troops are quartered. The hill range on the north is the Koh Assa Mahi, or Hill of the Great Mother (Nature). The Cabul River passes a gorge formed by these two hill ranges on the west and flows through the city, the walls and towers of defence of their two systems coming down at the gorge to join to a fortified bridge— the bridge of Jehan Khan. When the river passes out from the eastern wall of the city, a canal (Morad Khani) begins and run parallel with it. Close to the west- ward are the Behmaru heights and on the eastern side of the river the Siash Sungh heights.

—~——__-~<+-<>>—__- —— An Astonished Conductor.

‘Get aboard, old limpy,’ said a port conductor to an aged, plainly dressed lame man standing on the platform waiting for the signal to depart; ‘ get aboard, old limpy, or you wiil be left.’

At the signal the old gentleman qui— etly stepped aboard and took a seat by himself. When the conductor, in tak- ing up the tickets, came to him and de- manded his fare, he replied :

‘Ido not pay fare on this road.’

‘Then I will put you off at the next station.’

The conductor passed on, and another

passenger who had seen tho transaction |

said to him:

‘Did you know that old gentleman ?’

‘No, I did not.’

‘Well, it is Mr. ——, the president of this road.’

The conductor changed color and bit his lips, but went on and finished tak. As soon as he had done he returned to ‘old limpy.’ and said :

‘Sir, I resign my situation as con- ductor.’

‘Sit down here, young man. I do not wish to harm you; but werun this road for profit, and to accommodate the public, and we makeit an invariable rule to trent every person with perfect civility, whatever garb he wears, or whatever infirmity he suffers. This rule is imperious upon every one of our employes. I shall not remove you for what you have done, but it must not be repeated.’

That conductor afterwards never saw among his passengers another ‘ old limpy.’

Cost of the ‘‘Know How.”

There was much gumption evinced by that particular darkey whose master was a surgeon who had performed on another darkey au operation requiring a high degree of skill. The latter darkey was well-to-do, and the surgeon charged him twenty-five dollars for the operation. Meeting the doctor's servant afterward, this dialogue occurred :

‘Dat was a mighty steep charge of the

i doctor’s for cuttiog co me tudder day.’

‘How much did de boss charge ?

‘Well, Julius, he charge me twenty- five dollars,’

‘Go ‘long, niggah, dat aia’t much chirge.’

‘We'l, he wasn’t more dan three or four minutes doin it and [think five dollars was all he oughter took.’

‘Look-a-heah, Sam ; you don’t un’stan bout dat ting: You see the boss have to sjeud a great many yet ‘larnin’ how’ to use that knife. un’ it cost him heaps o’ movey. How the fact am dat he only charge you five dollars for the operation ; dz tuider twenty he charged for de ‘know how.’?

That's it—tho time and the money to learn the ‘koow how.’—Harper’s Maga- atne.

Two Ontario Constitutncies are now open an‘ in both keen contests are expected. In Cornwall Dr. Bergin will be again opposed by MacLennan, and in North Lanark it is said that Rosamond the Liberal-Conserva tive is highly popular. The Grits are work- ing desperately in both constituencies, but the ‘“‘ Hum” prevents their efforts from being heard.

‘*We have visited the bottling stores of Messrs. Greenlees Brothers, at Gresham- buildings, London, 4nd have selected from the vats, samples of their Lorne Highland Whis- key, and have subjected them to careful ex- amination and analysis. The samples were pale, showing their freedom from added color- ing matter, very fragrant, mellow.and of pleasant favor ; in fact, they possessed all t characteristics of pure and well-mat Scotch Whiskey of the first qualtiy.”
