Pale, hes do his nnta'stcd breakfast, sat James Ford, meditating on the vanity of human joys, and especially the 'oys associated with the cup which cheers so little and inebriites so much, when his reverie was broken by the outer door of his room being, kicked open, and the entrance of a gentleman in a velvet sack coat, very tight trousers, toothpick boots, and a Col. lego ca as dilapidated and shabby as the rest of is attire was show y and fashionable. Disregarding an invitation conveyed in pan- tomime to partake of some breakfast, Mr. Bob Hardy, such being the name of the new arrival. made his way to the cupboard, and extracted therefrom a tumbler, a corkscrew, and a pint bottle of O'Kecfe's ale, fr-xm which he proceeded to help himself with much greed, and a dexterity which could only be the result of four; practice. At his the removed, for the second fime,from his lips a short briarroot pipe and spoke. “ “’e are in a hole, old Clmppie.” " What on earth do you mean, surely not‘hiu I happened last night, that the Dons coul have got hold of Z I know some of the fellows took too much or that Roman punch.confoundcd fraudthcthing is, but surely nothing lispp\ened that Polly could have found out ?"

His Aunt, the old one in Simcoe that has all the money, is expect- cd to visit him to day; he is very seedy and thinks himself worse than he is. He says come what will he can’t face her. I fear he will go off his head.” “D.

So saying this elaborate specimen of academic icunesse (force withdrew the light of his pre- sence from his friend’s room. Somewhat dis- gusted at the low estimate formed of his medical knowledge, J nmcs Ford, who wasa student at the School of Medicine affiliated to St. Athanasius’ College, slowly walked over to young Field’s room. He felt angry and disgusted that awinc party at his room should have led to even the suspicion of such arosult. llchadnotintcndedthat there should have been spy excess, those who ab fended the festive gathering were all gcntlc- men and he could not conceive that the amount of wine consumed would have so- riously afi'cctcd Field‘s health! 20 indeed he found it to be the casc- on reaching Field’s room. “ Its only a bad case of headache,” said Travers, a friend who had assisted in the proceedings of the night before, "its just like Hardy, always making the worst of everythingâ€"«a rid I declare he’s carried 00' tlrokcyâ€"Field is in there, in the bed- room asleepâ€"tic was very feverish and ex- cited, undue wooden-read this letter that he got from Simeon this morning.” Ford r°ad the following : ' ” Sinrcoc, S iturdsy morning. “ Dcar Thomas, " I hope your tutor is satisfied with your application toyozn: lessons.

And so saying the doctor marched out of the room and down stairs to his carriage. The noise he made had wakcned up Field,who fortunate- ly had a second key to the room, and who hastened to meet at their hotel his aunt and cousin, with whom he now felt confi- dent lic could make his peace.

Out to Drink with a. stranger. 2;, Jesse \Villiims, an old farmer, met an of- fablo person in the Broad street depot, at: Philadelphia, recently, who asked him to taken drink. Mr. \i’illiams accepted the invitstion, and went with his acquaintance to a. saloon, leaving a valise containing $7,- 030 in gold on a seat in an out-bound train. When he returned his valisc was gone. The person who had taken it, however,- left in its stead an old bank note directory bearing the name, “Carrie Afileck, 608 East Four- teenth street, New York.” The fact was telegraphed to Inspector Byrnes, and on enquiry lie was further informed by the Cashier of the Union Dimc Savings Dink thatawoman giving the name of Afllcck had deposited $500 in gold there the pre- vious day. . The Inspector, who knew the woman to be the wife of a. confidence operator, ordered Detective Gerow to-watcli the rear tenement in Fourteenth street, \‘vhcré she lived, and sent Detectives McGuire and Farley to look out for her ntlho bank. The two latter caught her in the not of trying to draw out her deposit in the form of bills, while two man, whom they recognized as her husband andn companion criminal were evidently waiting for her outside. Afllcck’s compan- ion wh was James Dunn, known also on "Pop »\ hits" and “01d Dr. Long,” present: ly joined Mrs. Afileck, and. then the de- tectives, with the aid of Capt.

There are about 1,500 families,on a rough calculation, do udingon the daily earnian of agriculture laborin one small county. Where a laborer is engaged in constant work on a farm. I believe 7:. per week is above, rather than below, the average of hispay. Six shillingsa week for half the year and 5s. a week for the other half is 7 generally the rate of wagss. 'W'hen men aronot kept in regular and constant work the average pay would be 9.1. a week for about nice months out of the twelve, and it commonly happens that they are unable to get work during the other three months. Out of this sum the laborer has, of course, to keep himseliand his family. He often has to pay from 305. to £2 a year for his little cabin, and perhaps a miserable patch of ground around it, on which he painfully toilsâ€"when he is lucky enough to huvp itâ€" to grow potatoes. ’ in many cases a man pays as much as £4 a year for his cabin. In a considerable number of instances the laborer who is in constant employment engages to give a. day's work in each week as the rent of his house. This arrangement sometimes acts harshly auairs'. him. The farmer who has let him his hut does not, perhaps. want his labor during -a consider- able part of thcycar, and does not want it at spring time and at harvest, wire 11 wages are at their highest. The laborer has to turn out then and Live his work without refer- ence to the increased rate of wages, and thus has virtually to pay agenuiuo rack- ront for his miserable homestead. A very miserable place it truly is. Anybody who has been in Ireland at all must have some knowledge of the outside of a laborer‘s cabin. It; is a small, lop-sided \vigwam, built of stones- and mud, with 't thatched roof, and with three holes left in the front wall to act the part of door and windows. The trav- eller who stops to look into one of these huts seems at first to see nothing but darkness visible. When his eyes gets used to the lack of light: he sees a hovel almost absolute- ly devoid of furniture, and very often cori- sisting of only onc room for the family, how- ever numerous, to live in. The mud. villages in which the fcllahccn of Egypt live contain few hovels so hopelessly grim and comfort- less as those that may be seen in many parts of Ireland, and the Egyptian peasant has a climate around him which allows him if he chooses, to pass his whole life in the open air, while in Ireland the ruin comes down often for days and days together Without stint. Into that castle of the Irish peasant truly the wind rray cuter. 0n Wet nights the drenching showers soak through the ill- tlratchcd roof and come dripping down on the beds of the sleepers. I used the word “bed” in order to convey the idea of a place where the inmates sleep rather than that: of any article of furniture constructed for the purpose of being slept on. In many cases the bed and bedding consists only of straw and some old sacks that once held Indian- moal or guano. A cabin with a second room in it is a somewhat exceptional possession with the Irish laborer of the poorest class. The food of the laborer consists principally of potatoes, or else of Indian-meal mixed with flour and soda. Tao. of the thinnest and poorest kind, oitoner Without milk than with it, is the enjoyment of the laborer and his family. It; is the drink they would have at all times if they on'y get it. I suppose there still are persons in this country who think of the Irish agricultural laborer as a. man going about pzrpetually with a. bottle of whiskey in his hand and ready at every opportunity to lift the mouth of the bottle to his lips. I wonder whether srrclipcrsons ever considered what the price of a bottle of whiskeyâ€"'cvcn of tho rawcst and vilest whiskeyâ€"would be, and how many such bottles the Irish peasant could treat himself to in the course of a your out of the surplus of his wages? The truth is that the laborer of this class very seldom drinks spirits or porter unless somebody better off than him? self is generous enough to” stand him treat. Nor can be easily keep himself warm by less dangerous means than the swallowing of strong drinks. For more than half the year had seen them I in some places he finds it very hard to not in l fuel for his poor little household fire, and is often depending on the brusliwood or the rotten sticks which his wife and his daughter may gather from the roadside or the ditches. â€"Jrrs(ifr .lIcCart/ry, in Longmwi’s lilagazine. ..__._.__ Bravo Women.

There is, at any rite, at present too much need for their work in that western land to make it at all likely that the natives of the Flovvery land will get their walking-ticket. So Alexander Stephens has gone over to the majority, and great lamentation has been made over him. The man who before the war said that the South would welcome the Northerncrs “with blo .-dy hands to has pitablc graves," did duty as orator for the occasion. Six cx-goverucrs were among the pull-bearers. “’hatever people may say to the contrary, the great question in that “ onplcssantness” was not State rights, but slavery. Now, when tholutter is out of the way, they can fight if they please with great- er frccdom for the former. Tire Blike law against carrying deadly weapons is still on the statute book, but it is to be feared it is fast brcoruing practical- ly obsolete. ‘IVitil s i many burglaries, assaults, and so forth going on, it is very natural that people still like to have a revol- ver or some other weapon handy, especially in lonely country places, or in lonely, little frequented roads. The tramp species aboundj, and most of its members are not very particular as to what they do or what they take. No doubt tho law ought to be sufficiently strong to afford ample protection. But when it is not, what their? How “’iggins is going in get along after the fiasco connected with his late prophesy- ing does not appear, lie had better climb a. tree or make himself scarce some way or other. The marvel is lrow such chnrlatans still get so many to attach the slightestim- portarzco to anything they either do or say. It is one thing to do what “Old Pruhs” has done so long and so well and quite another to work in the “’iggms and Vcniior style. No doubt people with nlruanacs must do something to innko~ them sell, but it; is too' much of a good thing uhcn their vagaries drive people in f crazy and cause the loss of thousands of dollars. Libertiniem is sometimes, we are glad to think, a rather risky business, though not so often as it ought to be. Not: a. word is to be said in favor of Judge Lynch and his doings, but if lowdoesnot providesomcthing like an adequate. remedy for every wrong the result Will be that Lynch will put in an appearance, and the most of folks will be able to say but little in his condemna- tion. Tire Ohio people seem to have rather a rough way of settling accounts with such rakes and libertmes, at least those in Cicnrport have, but a little righteous indig- nation of the kind is sometimes necessary when the law is powerless, and the offence is flagrant. Now, when are newspapers gorng to be done with those long columns of reports on sporting matters, and especially on pugilistic encounters?” Can they think that in this way they are improving either the public taste or the public morals? A more miser- able set of fcl ows than t‘ie'ordinory morn- bcrs and heroes of the prize ring does not exist. Yet; what are called respectable hows- papcr‘s dcvoto column offer column to their special benefit, with all the siting that is re- culiar to the " fancy," and all the brutality characteristic of its doings. Round first, second, and so on are given with sickening particularity, and then it is thought strange if ordinarily careful fathers with growing sons think it best to “stop tlio'paper." Tire stock gumblingis still being denounced and is still practised. \‘v’lien once the gambling spirit has got possession of a man it is more difficult to deal with than either whiskey or opium. At the resent time there is not one in ten of t o professed sales of stock that is honest, and the man is a. fool who would tonclr them for honest in. vcstmcnt. They are no more to be looked on as legitimate means of traffic than are the three cards, or the three peas. It would socrn as if the genuine and honorable commercial spirit; were disappearing, and the demon of gambling in one way or other taking its place. “'ull, the storm will burst some of these days, ‘nnd that of “'iagins, oven at its worst,wili not be a circumstance to the result. The Methodist Union is practically a thing accomplished, and every true friend of the good course will rejoice that it is so. Some have argued that divisions among Christians are really beneficial, as they pro. mote activity and guard a sinst error, If such were the case it woulr be a pity. But it isn’t. There is no reason why a large body should become inert, inactive, or indif- ferent. Not the slightest reason why, if the love of Christ pervades it, it should draw the curtains and rctirc to sleep. All the Church Unions lately effected have r1.- sultct' exactly in the o posito way. There hm = thereby been evelopcd to a greater .r..civity, more zeal, more liberalify, and a correspondingly increased amount of solid and satisfactory success. Every true fric d of Csnsdn will rejoice ifthis should be still in re the case with the body of Canadian Methodists, now to all intents and purposes one. It is very curious, as some of the rcli ious papers notice, that churches take so ifl'cr- en: ti view of the value of age and exp ri- cricc in their ministers, from what is usually done with other educated professional men. An old doctor is prized all the more on account of his age and wide experience. Sol are the lawyers. So are statesmen, ral- ly in Britain, and even in Canada. at as to preachers of the gospel it is very different. Gladstone rules Britain at 75. Sir John hlacdonald Canada at 63, and Oliver Mowat Ontario st 63. But what chance would any preacher out of a congregation have of even a hearing after he was turned of 00! Scarce. ly any. People are chary about trusting their bodies in the hands of a young medieo. But as to their souls it is quite difl'erent. If the can't get a “young lad " they will rs or go without. Such is the usual esti- mate of the relative value of the, two com- ponent puts that make up tho man. We are a great advocate of Woman's Rights, if these could only be fully aseerv " "T whine, are frauds who will likely throw the Mflm.” i ithst i: moraine 5,000,000 6 . yo fore, time that the balance was being ail-v, justed, and it will be, some of these days, It is all very well to? represent the supposed advocate of “'oman‘s l R-ghts as a slim, sharp nosed, aged epinsfcr 3 with ablue cotton umbrella, goggle sprccg tacleii ands coal scuttle bonnet.

They are generally so astute in work, and have learned their lesson so thorou hly that it is scarcely to be wonder- ed at but the kind~heartcd who listen to their stories are regularly done for. It is, perhaps, hard to say, but still it is to be feared that it is the truth, that not one half of what is given in charity in Toronto is be- stowed on deserving objects. The impudcnt, plausible, vicious iinpoetor, seems always to come in for the lion’s sl nre,aud the quiet and deserving are left in the lurch. One thing, at any rate, is settled as beyond all question, and that is, that no charity of any kind should be given at Ono's own door, without a very stringent preliminary investigation into the whole circumstances. “'itli scarce- ly an cx'ception, those who pcramhuli-tc the city with ba~kcts and a mesa \vo-bcgoirc l food they got away or sell it for pig's meat in order to get whiskey with the proceeds. \\'s have known cases of poor, deserving, industrious women buying those scraps: from those inveterate beggars in order to feed their children.

Regularly evcry winter strung young men who have bccn insuring the country during the summer months, come into To- ronto and other cities for the season to rut along in some measure without even looking for work, by the help of the various public charities, and by the undiscrirninatiug bounty of individuals. edupâ€"s st. Patrick. Where St. Patrick was born and when, are matters about which there is little certainty. Some think he was born at Boulogne-sur-Mer, and most believe that his birthplace was near Dumbarton on the Frith of Clyde in Scotland. It is usually understood that hollourislicd about: the first half of the fifth century. His father was a deacon of the village church and gave him :i carefulcducntion. \thn he was 16 years of age, he was, with runny others of his countymen seized by Scottish pirates and carried off to Ireland. lie was then sold to a. petty chief, in whose services he remained for six years. During the most of that tirno he was set to take cure.of sheep, and neces- sarily spent much of his time in the open air. Of that period of his life, St. Patrick writes thus : “I was sixteen years old, and I know not the true God ; but, in a strange land, the Lord brought me to a. sense of my unbolicf, so that, although late, I minded mo of’my sins and turned with my whole heart to the Lord my God, who looked down on my lowliiiess, hurl pity on my youth and my ignorance, who preserved inc o'er I knew hirri, and who protected and comforted me, as afntlier does his son era I knew how to distinguish good and evil." \Vlrcu ho had been six years in captivity, St. Patrick dreamed twice that he heard a voice telling him to flee in a. certain direction and he \Vi-llill find a ship ready to take him and bring him back to his own country. He made the attempt,andufter rnauyuchnturcs at last got back in safety to his friends. He might now have lived quietly at Ironic, but he felt within him an irrepressible desire to carry the blessings of the Gospel to those Pagans among whom he had spent so much of his youth. He thought he was called upon by nightly visions to go to Ircluird,und not prevent his obeying what he believed to be a heavenly vision and ndircct call of God. In order the better to fit: himself for the work, he went first to France and studied in the society of ions monks and clcr'gyrncn. The legend tel s that ' i A.D. 4!“, he rnridczr journey to Rome to r eive full poucrs :irrd consecration from the Pops of the day who designated him to missionary work in im- land. It is but right to say, however, that while this in tradition, it is rather opposed to what is contained in St. Patrick’s Confus- sions,the only work of his first is still cx.mit. This seems rather to favor the idea that lie was ordained and consecrated to tho Episco- plul office in Britaiu,aird never saw the i'upc. 8 this however, as it may, it is undouhzcd that he had marvellous success in preaching the Gospel in all parts of Ireland, lillll renu- cccdcd in establishing Christianity over most of the country. According to some of his biographwrs he founded 305 churches, and baptized 12,000 persons. Afterlic had been engaged in missionary work for about twenty years, he is said to have fixed his sec at Armaph about the year A. D. 454. He died at a placccallcd Saulmcur Downpafrick, and his relics were preserved at the lnttvr lace till the tirrrc of tlic llcforrrmiion.

After a long residence iimong flu: pwplc in whom he took so keen and fatherly nu interest, 5t. Patrick expresses himself in the following terms: “I pray God that. in- woilldgrunt mc pcrscvcrnuco to 'cnahlu mt. to approic myself a faithful “fillet-fl for m: sake of my God to the end.
