breastpim im sure i hope sartth ann is an ex ception even nmongst girls from a reform atory said madame this girl is quite a lady in appearance and proceeded to give directions for dinner to which she ex pected some friends everything was ou an elegant scale in the establishment where madame was makiug a fortune out of flowers feathers laces and rare goods of all sorts to say nothing of the vanitypf other women lilly lintorno came next day her black silk dress though very old hung well and was worn well you may wear the oldest frock with a difference she quite understood all that was needed and had taste in the millinery line certainly she looked ladylike and amiable ns well as pretty but the housekeeper was pre judiced against her and at the noontime lunch which the employees took in a little room set apart for that purpose she hand ed her her tea with a cold air sararan who had requited kindness and benevolence by going off with the spoons had curdled the milk of human kindness in mrs soars heart she looked for some sign that lilly was not all she could be and soon she had it it was tho third night of lillys engage ment as she was putting on lver nlster to go botnei that mfa soar stole behind her and whispering in her ear come this way if you please led her way into an empty room and setting her back against the door said miss lintorne it strikes me as rather singular that you should calculate on get ting off without being found out i youve got yonr pockets stuffed full of provisions i watched you when you went back to the lunchroom and helped yourself very few employers bet a lunch for their young ladies and 1 should think tbat would be enough without providing yourself with subper i shally mention it to madame but i thought idet you know what i was going to do first im not an underhand person oh dear dear how btrange it is you cant trust anybody i theyre all like sararan the girl thus addressed stared at her accuser with wide wild eyes for a moment and then burbt into tears she looked so terrified and abaflhed mrs sour felt an emotion of pity jforiier and muttered weill now i didnt mean to bebatjjl but its my duty madame plimsolle is always being robbed there was hamiah rush used to pocket sewing isilk and i jaue burrels took yards aud yards of lace aud some holp themselves to pins and neet lies and ive knowd the soissors to go it dishonest world meanwhile the girl took from the poiket of her ulster a bottle and a ooupla of paper packets in one lay two buttered biscuits in the other a little slice of cold if am i you will expose me she sobbed you will make me lose this little place of niinel 01 what it is to be poor i never knew i never guessed what it woulc bei everything everybody against one bat was it stealing was it really steaiiug uiudam see in thin bottle is j only the uupof tea you poured out for me her uiu tho biscuits aud ham 1 had on my plate it is the half of my own lunch i came baok and took t like a thief it ip true for i was ashamed but am i like the girls who- stole the silk and lace und tlie servant who took the spoons dc i yon think that of me she burst into tears again and sebbejd with her head upon the table such ajoong pretty childish head that the housekeeper softened i well no no she faltered i guess i have been hasty for once but sajraran turned me ugiu hulniin natur thats a fact but why couldnt you eat yonr lunch at table like a christian child 11 i took these things for ray mother sighed the girl i have not a penny to bny food with i have fed her this way for three days she would have starved if i hadnt i oh i wish we were both jdeadj if i am to be turned away just as i was earning a little money uh what a cruel world j but mrs sour who was by this time wiping her owu eyes went over to the girl where she sat weeping and bendini over her smoothed back her hair from lnr wet eyes dont dont 1 she said doiit dry so how was ito kuow you ought to have come and told mo ill see tn your ma this week eat your victuals comfort able tomorrow and i wouldnt tell apy one for untold gold ill kelp aud not hin der you i guess i cant even blame you beein twas your own lunch you too t you see i didnt know she coaxed the girl to calmness a id sent her home with a basket of comforts for her sick mother and from that day the two wore friends any one who had mrs sours good word was iu madames favor besides the girl was very cleverj she learned the business rapidly soon earned a fine salary and was beyond want while madame plimsolle had every reason to re joice tbat she had engaged a young girl without references because of her graceful shoulders it was the busy time before christmas all the workwomen at madame plimsolles establishment were very busy on one particular night a request was made that everyone would stay until- four oclock overwork was always well paid for there and only a young widow who had a child she could not well leave accused nertieu- jneedleb

w ii 8t0iiuy the move iii tho d union by what is known as the butter- worth bill having rectionof commercial as its advocate mr eraitus wiman and looking towards the control of canadian commerce by the united states i regard not only as imprac ticable but advertjo to every canadian interest at this juueture of our national existence- we cannot afford to trifle or make experi ments especially when the surface indica tions are so evident as to presage ultimate failure j i iu this mutter which is ostensibly a move to settle the fishery dispute it is very much like baiting with a minnow to catch a shad flte ultimate design being annexation whatever hopes such politi cal agitators as mr wiman may hold out to the american people towards its ac complishment this country is sufficiently loyal to british institutions and british connections to maintain them at all hazards i submit that the fishery question should be treated on its merits the fisheries are either burs or they are not if any reason able doubt exists as to the right of this country to control them its settlement be- comes a question of diplomacy and should be foreyer settled by a joint commission of the two nations we have no right for expediencys sake to sacrifice the interests of the maritime provinces by allowing ihe americans free access to our fisheries under the guise of commercial union we are not un unreasonable people and are therefore open to an equitable adjustment of the fishery question but we are not so servile as to be bullied into a humiliating settlement by threats of retaliatory mea sures which is the favorite method of american politicians to accomplish their designs it is said commercial union does not necessarily imply annexation and that the united states does not want political union with canada admitting this to be the case at present would not the situation be materially changed if the arrangement in years to come proved essential to american commerce and a continuation of it desirable let the advocates of this scheme put their case squarely in the shape of annexation which is its true intent and we do not fear the result f the thinking population of this country haveno sympathy with commercial union so called to superficial minds and view ed in the abstract i admit the question may have its advocates but to sober- minded people possessing ordinary pre science and to whom the f ntare of this country is everything this movement is regarded with distrust admit if you please that great britain woqld present no objections to the scheme are we so in sensible to national feeling and pride as to abuse her liberality by discriminating again6t her for tlie benefit of the ameri cans i am not a free trader but if free trade has to be granted to the united states by all means pluce great britain on the same basis to do otherwise would be unpatriotic and i trust we yet retain some vestige of this sentiment so common to humanity we have no desire for any scheme which points to national extinction and which would certainly eventuate were we to be come a party to this one we desire cana da for the canadians if uncle sams children choose to cross the line and take upjibeir abode with us we will welcome them 80 long as they contribute to the support and development of the common wealth the question forces itself upon us what of the

oil separate wheel and an ordinary hand ii idicates the seconds of the advantages 0 f this kind of watch it is remarked that f iw people read the time of an ordinary v atch accurately and if the experiment is tied of glancing at the face in the usual r lanner and then naming the time it would le found that an error of from half a t linute to three minutes will be generally i lade with the new
