A PLUCKY BOY.

A Pleasant Sketch te Read.

The boy marched straight up to the eounter.

* Well, my little man,’ said the mers |

ehant, cormplacent!y—he had just risen from sach aglorious goed dinner— ‘what will you have to-day ?’

‘Oh, please sir, mayn’t Ido some work fer you ?’

It migh! have been the pleasant blue eyes that (id it, for the man was not accustom ito parley with such small gentiemen, and Tommy wasn't seven yet, and smal! of his age atthat. There were a few wisps of hair on the mer- chant’s temples, and leoking down en the little oppealing face, the merchant pulled at them, gave the ends ef his eravat a slight brash, and thea his hands travelling dowa te his vest pocket.

*Dosome work for me,eh? Well, now, abeu: what sert ef werk might your smal! machinery caleulate to be able to per‘orm? Why, yeu can't leek ever the counter,’

‘Yes, by standing on your toes. Are they coppered ¢’

‘What, sir ?’

‘Why, your tees. Your mether ceuld net keep you ia shoes if they weren't.’

*She caa’t keep me in shoes, any- way, sir,’ und the voice hesitated.

The msn took pains to leok ever the counter. It was toe much fer him ; he eouldo’t see the little tees. Then he went all the way round,

‘L thought I should need a micros- cope,’ he said very gravely,’ ‘but I reckoa if | get elose enough I can see what you «re like.’

‘Lam elder than I'm big, sir,’ was the neat rejoinder, ‘Folks say I'm very smal! tor my age.’

‘And what might be yeur age, sir?’ responded the man with great emphasis.

‘i'm almost seven,’ said Tommy, Wik « louk calculated to impress even six feet nine. ‘You see my mether hasn't anyledy but me, and this morn- ing I saw her erying because she could not fini tive ceats in her pocket bock, and she thinks that the boy whe took the ashes stele it from her—and—I— haven’t hud any—breakfast, sir.’

Toe voice again hesitated and tears eame io tho biue eyes.

‘lL reckon [ can help yeu to breakfast,

my poer lictle fellow,’ said the man, |

feeling in bis pocket. ‘There, will that quarter do”

The boy shook his head sadiy. ‘ Mo- ther wouldn't let me beg, sir,’ was the a, reply.

*‘Hamph | where’s your father ?’

‘Weaever heard of him since he went away. He was lost, sir, in the steamer Ciiyet Bosten.’

‘Ah! youden'tsay. That’s bad— but you are « plucky little fellow, any- hew. Letme see;’ and he pendered, puckeriey up bis mouth and looking Straight down inte the boy's eyes, which

| Women’s Disabilities.

The question is aften asked, why cannot women be Free Masons? A Navada orator recently undertoek to answer jt as follows :

Women sometimes complain that they are net permitted to enter the lodge and work with the craft in their labors, and learn all that is to be learned in this institution. We will ex- plain the reason. We learn that before the Almighty had finished His work He was in doubtabout creating Eve. The creation of the living and creepiog things had been accomplished, and the Almighty had made Adam, who was the first Mason, and created for him the finest lodge in the world, and called it Paradise No. 1. He then called all the beasts in the field and fowls of the air te pass before Adam, for him te name them, which was a piece of work he had to do alone tbat no contusien might therefere arise from Eve, who he knew would make treuble if she was allowed to participate in it, if he created her .beforehand. Adam being fatigued with his first task fell asleep, and when he awoke found Eve in the lodge with him. Adam being senior warden, placed Eve as the pillar of beauty in the south, and they received their in- structions from the grand master in the east, and when finished, she immeditely called the craft from labor to refresh ment. Instead of attending to the duties of her office as she ought, she left her station, violated her ebligation, and let in an expelled Mason, who had no business there, and went around with him, leaviog Adam to look after the jewels. Finding that Eve was re | longer trustwerthy, and that she had caused Adam to neglect his duty and had let one in whem he had expelled, the grand master closed the lodge and turned them out, setting a faithful tiler to guard the door with a flaming sword. Adam repented of his foily, wentto work like aman and a geod Masor, in order to get reinstated again. Not so with Eve! She got angry abeut it, and commenced raising Cais. Adam, on aecount of his reformation, was per- mitted to establish ledges and werk ia the degrees, and while Eve was allowed te join him in his works of eharity on the outside, she was never again per-

Somevning ih the Bed.

Judge Pitman has a habit ef slip- ping his watch under his pillew whea he goes to bed. The other night seme- how it slipped down and, as the Judge was very restless, it gradually worked its way dewn to the feot of the bed. After a bit, while he was lying awake, his foot. touched it, and it felt very veld; he was surprised aod scared, and jump- ing from bed he said:

‘By gracious, Maria! there’s a toad or a snake or semething under the eovers. I touched it with my feot.’ Mrs. Pitman gave a leud scream. and was out en the floor iv an instant

‘New don’t go to hollering agd wak- ing up the neighbers,’ said the Judge. ‘You go and get mea breom er some- thing, and we'll fix the thing mighty quick.’

Mrs. Pitman got the broom and gave

it to the Judge, with the remark that she felt as if snakes were creeping up and down her legs and back. ‘O vonsense, Maria! Now you turn dewn the covers slowly, while I hold the broem and bang it. Put a bucket of water alengside the bed, toe so’s we can shove it in and drown it.’

Mrs Pitman fixed the bucket and gently removed the covers. The Judge held the broom uplifted, and as soon as the black ribbon ef the watch was revealed he cracked away three er feur time with his breom. Thea he pushed the thing off inte the buck- jet. Then they took the bucket to the light to investigate the matter. When the Judge saw what it was, he said.

‘{ might have known that. Just like you women, te go screeching and fussing about nothing. Who's goiog to pay me for that watch? It’s ut- teriy ruined.’

it war you that made the fuss— net me,’ said Mrs. P. ‘You needn’t try to put the blame off on me.’

A man recently received a woodeut picture of Geergo Washington, and pinned it to the wall near his office door. One day while at work his little girl came inte his room, and espying the picture, started the following dia- logue :—

‘Who is that picture of, papa?’

‘Washington.’

‘Whe was Washington ?’

‘ Father of this country.’

‘Why was he called father of this country, papa ?’

‘ Because he fought for bis indepen- denee, and was a great, good man.’

‘Is he alive now, papa ?’

‘No.’

‘When did he die?’

‘ December 14, 1799.’

MISCELLANEOUS.

Maps of several military districts io ihe Dominien are being prepared at Ottawa,

Joseph Hatton and Archibald Forbes, the London Correspondents, are both going to publish beoks on Amevica shortly.

An editor ofa Montreal evening paper of what is called Irish National opinions expresses his willioguess ina foot note te a letter to give his eorrespondent the satisfaction due frem one gentleman te another.

In presenting the Land Bili, whieh he did in a three hours speech, Mr. Gladstone concluded as fellows :-—“ J us- tice is to be the priveiple to guide Eng land in regard to Ireland.” The bill was then real a first time.

The lying in State of an Emperer or Empress of Rassia is a remarkable spectacle. The body is placed en a bed with guards round it, and then the pub- lic are allowed to waik threugh the room, each one kissing the corpse as he passes. The body of the mother of the late Emperor was so badly embalm- ed that several of the officers who were detailed off to watch it actually died.

A few days ago, Dr, Van Zandt, pre- prietor ef the knitting factory lecated in the new Mail building, was fright+ fully burned by the explosion ef asmall alcholic lamp. At the time of the ac- eident he was repairing the machinery. His right arm, hund and part ef his facewere burned and hiv whiskers were singed te the reots. His clothing was ignited, but the flames were promptly extinguished by some of the werkmen with a covering ef bags.

The French people appear to be taking unusual interest in Canada just new. They have established a great money lending institution in the Doe minien, They are supporting several beet root sugai enterprises in Quebec. They have formed a wealthy Syadicaute to establish fortnightly steamship com» munication between Fravce and Canada; and they are maturing a scheme for colonizing a hundred square leigues of territory ia the Nerth West.

Another Letter from Mr. Shaw. To the Bditor of the feaminer,

Fer your generous acknowledgement and your prompt insertion of my previous les- ter, accept my thanks. You are pleased te attribute to mea propensity for sarcasm. Now, this is rather unfair. You have en- tirely overlooked the difference between gareaaim and satire—hence your mistake. Between them there is a wide distinctien The former suggests the biudgeon; the latter, the Damascus blade. The one is in-

| tended for the cultivated scholar, the other

for the ignorant beors. The distinetion, however, is nota fine one, and the appli- cation is always easy. Let the members of the Government draw the lines, and settle the boundaries.

You have not thought proper to dispute the eerreetness of my statements or the accuracy of my figures. Your prudence is highly eommendable. The matter, how- ever, is intereating te the tax-payers, though beneath the notice of a Govern- ment, who have, through the medium of a Governer’s speech, promised te make an alteration in the assessment law, and have still failed to carry their pledges into effeet. They have never erased a vowel or added a consonant.

A few words about the Fishery Award. Phis question has been referred toa sub- committee of the Privy Council. Their repert was adopted by the Government. {t was never submitted to Parliament on its own basis. It was mixed up with the claims of the other Maritime Provinces, which are universally admitted to rest on different grounds, excepting always, and with deferential reapect, the repert of the Sub Committee. It was plainly the duty of our Leval Government to have submitted our claim to the Dominion Government on its own merits, and failing to receive jus- tice, to apply to the Supreme Court.

Yours truly, Ropert Saaw. —— oe Te the Editer of the Examumer.

Siex,—Mr. Murdoch’s report on the water works is moving t!-e citizens of Charlotte town, and causing them to see what is about to follew. Is is said that our city water is poisonous and net fit for the use of man or beast. This L deny. But they bring it before the peeple to try to make them believe in the necessity ef water works. I would jast ask those parties how many auimale they have known to die from the use of our so called bad water? Can you find one? {f not, this point ia their argument falis to the ground.

We will new take the second part :—that it is poisonous for the use ef man. Well, how many peer have you known to die from the use of our city water? If you know them please Game them. Many say that they de vot die directly from its ase, but it breeds diphtheria and fevers. Well, let as try the casas. We will take diphtheria first Have we more of this diseasein the city than they have in the country! How Why, the reverse was the case. It was more fatal and more plentiful in®the country than in the citr. This speaks badly on their argument. Bur they say it breeds fevers. Let us Jook at the fever argument. It is very well knewn that our worst water isin the heart of the city; asd a reasonable question arises,

avampy places, such as from Mr. E. Tombs’ 1 have heard some of our best medical men say that fevers always began in such places. If this be true their next srgumuent fails. But they say we want it im case of fire. Well, you have hee fires at different times and plxees, and you have always got along as wellas any ef these cities that have plenty ef water. It would be as well te lose a house or two asto ruin the whole ev'y. Then you say we want good water to drink. You will pardon me if I tell sou that yen will never get it any better thaa you have it now. If you bring it frem any of those places mentioned in Tug Examiner it will be a worse sample than you have now, for it willbe full of toad and frog spawn and other filth.

We must take othe: cities, fer example, say Halifax, where they have to filter or strain their water before it ean be naed. It would cost something for ice before it would be fit to drink. Our water is good enough with perhaps a few exceptions. Those wo advecate it mnst have an axe to grind, and they would svener ruin the city financially than let their axe go unground. What is the reason they lose siglit of the new wellsunk in the east end of the eity that has an abundant supply of water— enough for the whole city, and ont of the way of any filth, which cannot he said of the central parta of the city. { suppose it is too nesr to them. It would not cost so inuch, and wonid uot be valued on that account, and won't suit those parties who have their axe to grind.

Thanking you for your space,

Sirx,—The Patriot deubts the propriety of rhe Leoal Legislature ** interfermg m Dominion atiairs,’ and says if i¢ is consti- tutional jer the Heuse of Assembly to pre test against ‘‘the adoption of the Almon amendment to the Scott Aet,” it would be equally right to pretest aga nat the National Poliey, which, in the opinion of the Patriot, Is a greater evil than that ef the Rum Tratiic.
