Do thy little, do it well,

Do what right and reason teil,

Do thy little, God has made Million leaves for forest shade ; Smallest stars their glory bring, God employeth every thing.

All the little thou hast done, Little battles thou hast won, Little masterings achieved,

Little wants with care relieved, Little words in love expressed, Little wrongs at once confessed, Little favors kindly done.

Little toils thou didst not shun, Little graces meekly worn,

Little slights with patience borne,— These are treasures that shall rise Far beyond the smiling skies.

Fairs of the World.

Alfred the Great inaugurated the first fair and cattle show in England in the fall of the year 888—probably in September, as that month has been for centuries the popular season for English country fairs. Alfred was born at Wantage, Berkshire, in 849, and in 872 he succeeded to the crown of his brother, Ethelred, as king of the West Saxons. In 886 Alfred became sovereign of England, after a bitter war against the invading Danes, whom he con- quered. During the ensuing years of peace he eacouraged husbandry and other useful arts, rebuilt his cities, and founded wise laws and institutions. Alfred died in 901. Sixty years after his death agricultural fairs were introduced into Flanders, which country has ever since been celebrated for its farming.

Fairs for the sale of slaves became com- mon throughout Germany and the North of Europe about the year 1000.

Just where the tirst Anglo-Saxon fair of 888 was held is not definitely known, but it was probably in Hampshire.

European fairs, during the middle ages, were especially serviceable in de- veloping the rude inland countries. Com- merce was then burdened by every con- ceivable tax; travel was difficult and unsafe, and tolls were excessive. But, fortunately for the people, the rulers of these countries saw the benefits of encouraging their sub- jects to meet in concourse in the autumn, after the harvests were gathered, and they excepted the fairs from tax and gave the merchants and exhibitors numerous other privileges. With no import duties to pay, and the goods and persons of the dealers protected by the Government, the early in- land fairs of Europe soon became famous. Knowledge and money were diffused, and the people were consequently made better by the annual autumn fairs.

Agricultural fairs are frequently held in England for special purposes. Weyhill Fair, in Hampshire, has the greatest dis- play of sheep. St. Faith’s, held near Nor. wich, is the principal English fair for Scotch cattle. Two large fairs are held an- nually at Ipswick—one in August for lambs, of which about 100,000 are yearly sold, and one in September for butter and cheese. A great cheese fair is also held annually at Gloucester. One of the largest horse fairs in the world ig held in August, at Horncastle, in Lincolnshire. Rosa Bon- heur’s famous picture of Norman horses going to the fair for exhibition, expresses, as far as it is possible tc show without color, the life and animation of an old country horse fair. The original of this picture is one of the greatest ever painted. It was sold by the A. T. Stewart estate to William H. Vanderbilt for $53,000, and was donated by him to the Metrupolitan Museum of Art.

The largest fair in Scotland for the sale of cattle and sheep is at Falkirk; the largest of that kind in Ireland at Ballinasloe. The

Why I Returned to School.

When a boy one day I received a severe cut on the instep of my foot. Of course no more schvuoi followed for a while, to the envy of the other boys, not one of whom but would have risked a Jike wound for the sake of the holiday. I had decided, as a vacation medium, to work the wound for all it was worth, but, in spite of all, it healed rapidly. 1 knew an early return to school was inevitable if I could not persuade my mother to allow me to attend to the bandaging and dressing alone. In this | at last succeeded, and matters went on swimmingly. One morning, after hurriedly and carelessly bandaging the foot, I pro- ceeded to the breakfast table, hopping along on the other foot in a most dexterous manner.

‘** Rufus,” said my father, ‘* how is that wound ?”

‘** Pretty bad, pa,”’ I replied.

‘*But you seem to move around very nimbly, my boy.”

**On the other foot, pa,’—stamping heavily to prove its soundness.

‘** Well,” continued the old gentleman, whose suspicions were somewhat aroused, ** you'll sprain it hopping about in that manner. Just let me look at the wounded

foot.”

My father’s command was law. There was no escape. My brothers crowded around. Atany rate, thought I, hoping

against hope, the wound is not entirely healed, and I may have a few days yet. So I presented the wounded member for examination. My father proceeded to un- wind the bandages, fold after fold, amid profound silence and accumulating excite- ment among the boys. I closed my eyes awaiting developments. The unwinding continued ; the last fold dropped te the floor. There was a roar.

I had bandaged the wrong foot.—iturus Reppy.

Temperance Progress.

There can be no question, says the Glove, about the fact that the Temperance Re- formation, as that phrase is usually under- stood, goes forward as Gladstone would say, ‘“‘ by leaps and bounds.”” The mere fact that Scott Act having been repealed in some eight or ten counties is neither here nor there—mere ‘‘chips in porridge” at best and most. In the face of ali that, over which some have very prematurely and groundlessly begun to triumph, is to be set the steady and ever-rising flow of public opinion.in favor at once of Temperance princip}"* and of corresponding prectice. No one n any thoughtfulness and observa- tion can’ fail to notice this. The present generation of Canadians are as a rule, far soberer than were their fathers, even when they are not total abstainers. To be seen drunk is now far more of a disgrace than it used to be. The strange, subtle pressure of public opinion has been felt by all. The liquor traflic has become more and more disreputable, It is getting fixed in the consciences and hearts of the best of the people that drunkenness is an abomination wnd a menace, and many of the best work- ers are the least demonstrative and the most retiring. The resolutions in Confer- ences, Synods, Assemblies and Conven- tions are but indications of what the people think who are behind those gatherings and make them what they are.

The complete breakdown of the Eastern Telegraph Company's system between Java and Port Darwin, is creating a strong feel- ing among the commercial public in favor of a Pacific cable from Vancouver to

portant are those of Leipsic, Frankfort-on- the-Main, Frankfort-on-the-OderandBruns- wick; those at Leipsic dating from the twelfth century, and being most frequent. They are held three times every year, the first beginning the second Sunday after Easter, the second in Michaelmas week, and the third on December 27th, and running into the new year. The principal articles of trade carried to these fairs are furs, yarn, silk, cloth, cotton goods, ribbons, hard- ware, toys, china, glass, drugs, hides, leather, dye stuffs, oils, alcohols, etc.

Colonies and the Empire.

Several questions of Colonial interest will come up before the British Commons shortly if time permits. As an outcome of the recent return showing the existence of British treaties with Belgium precluding preferential treatment of British or colonial imports into British colonies, Howard Vin- cent intends to move that having regard to the supreme importance of increasing mutual commerce between all parts of the Empire the House is of opinion that steps should be taken to terminate such treaties. An interesting discussion on state coloniza- tion is expected when the vote for Crofter immigration to Manitoba comes up. Mr. Seton Karr intends to urge the adoption by the Imperial Government of colonization as a national necessity. A proposal is before the House for the appointment of a select committee to consider the mail contract ser- vices. If such a committee is appointed,

several members interested in the Imperial use of the Canadian Pacific route, intend to urge that the Government be directed to make more effectual use of the line as an Imperial route to the East. Mr. Howard Vincent’s motion in favor of commercial union between the United Kingdom and such colonies as desire it will also be moved

Australia. This feeling was voiced at the annual meeting of the New Oriental Bank, when the chairman said he went East re- cently via the Canadian Pacific, and was convinced that a cable via Canada and Australia would greatly benefit the com- merce of the Empire, giving a clear line of communication through British territory. The breakdown of the existing cables emphasized the necessity of an alternative line and an increased desire by the com- mercial public for double security against complete and protracted isolation. The opinion is expressed that the Imperial and Colonial Governments should hasten the proposed survey of the route. nr fn Panceoast Struck by Lightning.

(Wallace’s Monthly.)

On June 15th, an electrical storm broke over this vicinity, and in its ravages on Long Island struck Parkville a dangerous blow. A flash struck Pancoast in his box, slightly shattering the wall of the stud-barn and set on fire the litter about the horse. Fortunately in the height of the storm some of the men ran to the stallion-barn, and extinguishing the flames, found the great horse lying apparently dead. The hairs seemed to be slightly singed about one of his ears, ana he had bruised himself slight- ly in falling, which were the only marks. Though promptly and skilfully treated, Pancoast has very slowly recovered, and his stud career for this season is over. It is confidently hoped that he will in due time come around all right.

Bacon's Last Opportunity.

Ata dinner held in New York not long ago, the guests fell to discussing the authorship of Shakespeare’s plays. Among the guests was an aged Western gentleman, who said very little and listened a great deal. Finally he was asked what he thought of the question.

“Well,” he replied deliberately, ‘“* of course I don’t know much about it, but if Lord Bacon did not write those plays, he lost the greatest opportunity of his life.”

For a wonder, this view of the controversy was received without a dissenting voice.— Eprror’s DrawxR, in Harper's Magazine tor July.
