ryNuk cry of ‘*Hard times” and ‘ No

Again, recent improvements have cheapened the costof Dental material ;—considering which [ have decided to reduce amy prices, and for three montis from the date of this I will make a sett of teeth for Ten Dollars. Parts of setts correspondingly cheap, More than this—I will use good material and guar- antee, in every case, a perfect fit.

National Characteristics.

Since the days of Tacitus, the subject De Moribus Germanorum has never been worthily ‘treated. Ithas been the custom to epitomize the character of a nation in a proverb. Voltaire, whose wit, like a» Malay kreese, carried poison on its blade, turned his satire on his own countrymen, whom he epigrammatically described as Moizie singe, moitie tigre. A German proverb says, ** A German will do as much work as three Russians, an Englishman as much as three Germans, and an American as much as three Englishmen.” The Italians say ‘‘ It takes three Jews to make a Genoese, and three Genoese to make a Greek.” The Turks are as little complimentary to their own nation as Voltaire to his, for they say, * The Turks hunt hares in carriages drawn by oxen;” and of the Persians, whom they regard as heretical Mohammedans, they say that in the other world they will be trans- formed into asses to carry Jews into a loca- lity not to be named te ears polite. Ofa greater liar they say, ‘‘ Send him to Persia to teach Persians to iie;’ and the Russians they describe as ‘‘ Bears in kid gloves.”

The great fault of a German is that he cannot understand

a joke unless it be a very practical one; and herein he resembles the matter-of- fact lowland Scot and the English peasant. The Frenchman, who has but a dash of Ger- man blood in his veins, is active in mind and body, has neither time nor pertinacity to be inquisitive; he has general views, but changes them every moment; is quick to anger, ambitious and egotistical, but none so readily takes or makes a joke, Count Bulow cleverly describes the three nations— French, English and German. ‘‘ Many years ago,” says the Count, ‘‘a prize was offered for the best drawing of a camel. A French artist, as soon as he heard of it. rushed to the Jardin des Plantes, and in a week had finished a beautiful imaginative picture. The Englishman took a week to consider, and then went to Arabia, whence he returned in six months with an accurate and bold sketch of the subject. The Ger- man shut himself up in his atelier, and en- deavored to elaborate a camel from the depths of his moral consciousness, and he is still at work.”—The late W. IT. Harrison, in University Magazine.

The Earl of Derby now scowls at his wife’s step-son, the Marquis of Salisbury, from the cross benches of the House of Lords. His Lordship is no orator, and has owed his success to a general belief in his common sense and supposed hard-headed- ness. His outside influence is diminished by the fact that his brother and heir pre-

sumptive sits in Beacorsfield’s Cabinet. ———<r-—— —

The Archbishop of Canterbury deserves and receives universal sympathy in the loss hé has suffered in the death of his wife. To quote some elegant words of Dr. Newman, she was happy in being gifted with “‘large- ness of mind, abhorrence of strife, clemency of criticism, absence of suspicion, tender- ness of compassion, and love of brother- hood,” and invariably made a practice of looking more to the ends aimed at than to the manner in which work was done. The Queen not only telegraphed her condolence to the Archbishop of Canterbury, but sent him a kind letter of sympathy.

Notes by a Subscriber.

Mr. Cuartes Stewart, of Bradalbane, lost a child on Saturday last, with dip- theria. The father and mother are also low with this fearful disease.

Wet Apvancep in Grammar —While the first-class in grammar was parsing, one of the class, a lass of sixteen years, was asked to parse ‘‘cow;” and not being in full friendship with the teacher, she said ‘cow’ was a noun, singular number, and stood for ‘‘ Mary.” The teacher wished her to explain why the cow stood for “Mary.” She said that Mary milked the cow, and if se did not stand Mary could jot milk: her.

Bricnt Boy.—A gentleman was trying to catch a runaway horse. He called toa youth to stop him. The youth said he had no stopper. ‘‘Well, head him.” “He is already headed.” ‘‘Turn him, then.” “He is right side out now.” ‘Well, for —-, sake, speak to him.” ‘* Good morning, Mr. Horse,” said the boy, and let him go.

1. He considereth a field and buyeth it, He looketh well to the title, that his chil- dren may not become outcasts.

2. He fences it around with a strong wall. His flocks and herds do not tres upon the domain of his neighbor, bat in- crease and fatten within his own bounds,

5. He ploweth deep. He harrows liber- ally and manures abundantly. He feeds the earth with rich food. At the harvest he reapeth much grain.

4. He dots his land with fruit trees. His apples fill his chambers, and his vine- yards run over with pure wine.

5. He riseth withthe lark. The morning sun finds him at labor. He cometh from his ficlds when evening shadows gather, but - resteth from his labors in the heat of the aay,

G. He buildeth barns and storehouses. His cattle increase in numbers and his purse is filled with plenty. Whatsoever he doeth prospers, for his labor is directed by the wisdom of experience.

7. He pays cash for his necessities, His name is not found on the ledger of the mer- chant. His name is not a familiar éne in courts of justice.

8. He pays tithes without grumbling. He bears his share of the public burdens. He casts his ballot as a free man and seeks no cttice. P

», His home is a paradise of beauty : flowers and vines in great abundance please cor peer educate the taste and purify the soul,

10, His sons and his daughters are known in the land. They dispense his charities. The poor, the sick and the afflicted are sought out and receive comfort, sympathy, relief.

11. He storeth the chambers of his brain with exact knowledge. His head and his hands are co-laborers. He reads the papers and profits by their teachings.

12. He gives from his fountain of know- ledge to all who ask. He is not puffed up with vanity or filled with self-conceit and arrogance.
