“I don’t see a thingâ€"not a. thing '3” inâ€" terrupted Mr. Bcwser, as he reaches for his paper. “I have told you that you were making a. fool of that young ’un. I have also proved it to you. You are bound and determined to go ahead, and I have nothing more to say. In future years, when the children run after him and yell ‘F 001 Bowser 1’ perhaps you’ll I‘YBu see,” began Mrs. Browser in ex planatjon, “ynu see that babiesâ€"” Mr. Bowser sat down with a. great jar, flushing from red to white and back again. The howls died away, the tears ceased to fall, and in forty seconds baby was smil- ingjgain. --.. ‘v-v .- U‘B'UI.¢IQ U “7531: baby suddenly raised was a how] of terror and dismay which could be heard clear across the street, and Mrs. Bowser dashed Mr. Bowser aside, grabbed the child in her arms, and tossed him up and exclaimed : ”Dere 3 Dere 2 Did 00 great big papa. scare 00 almost to def? Too badâ€"too bad! He shan’t scare mamma’s ’ittle angel no more 2" “Wilham J., in case you are inclined to sit on my knee for a while extend your arms.” Baby didn't extend. He stopped kick- ing and his smile was replaced by a look of wonder. “Your mother having stepped out for a moment” continued Mr. Bowser. “You are in my charge. In case you want to et 11 raise T'our hand as a. signal.” g - 7 .1 The child was deposited in the crib, kicking and crowing and smiling. and Mrs. Bowser retreated out of the range of vision. Mr. Rowser then advanced. arms folded, and with sober face and in sober tones observed : “Never ! Never talked a. word of such nonsense ! My mother was a. woman of sense 1” “How should babies be talked to '2” “The same as a grown person, of course. Do you suppose that a young ’un under- srands when you aay. “you ’ittie angel, tum an’see oor darlin’ mamma ?” “Of course he does I” “Bosh ! I’ll prove to you that it’s all nonsense and that. you are making a. fool of him. Now. then put him in his crib and get out of his sight. I propose to show you that he's got sense and can understand sensible talk.” “Your mother talked baby talk to you.” said Mrs. Bowser after a. long silence, during which young Bowser was trying to get hjs bare foot into his mouth. “N o ma’am ; you haven’tâ€"not unless the said babies were born with sawdust in the head in place of brains. I believe that’s what ails half the adult population of this country to-dayâ€"they were made fools of by their mothers during infancy and childhood. I don’t want to be arbit- rary about anythingâ€" I never am arbitrary â€"but you will oblige me very much in- deed by shopping this nonsensical talk at once and forever.” . “You have to talk baby talk to babies, haven’t you ?" she queried in a doubtful way. “Do you refer to the way I talk to him 2” “Of course I do. If you’d been jabber- ed at in that way in your infancy you wouldn’t know enough now to go down to the grocery for Clothespins. I don’t wonder that the child is howling half the time. He must be thoroughly disgusted with such talk.” “Why, of course not 3” she replied with a startled demeanor. “Oh. you don’t! Don’t intend to bring it up for an asylum, then 2” “Mr. Bowser, what do you mean P “And what language do you ’ expect him to sneak when he grows up 2? con- tinued Mr. Bowser without heeding her question. “Why, the English language, of course.” “English, eh ? Then why dont you talk to him in English? I’ve been, watching and listening for the last month, but haven’t been able to get onto the dialect. Is it Cherokee, native African, Portuguese, South Sea Island, or what 2 He may be able to say “sugar” or "eat" in the English language when he grows up, but I doubt if he goes beyond that.” His Efforts to Show that Sensible Talk Would be Understood. “Mrs. Bowser, do you look upon that child as an infernal idiot Cl” sudden- ly exclaimed Mr Bowser the other evening as she was talking to the baby while preparing him for bed. But sweet and kind and good ! I’de better try myself to be So good that when she looks at me With eyes so loving all the day, I’ll never want to turn sway.

The placing by the constitution of the jurisdiction over divorce in the parliament of the Dominion and not in the legislatures of the provincesâ€"the upper house being now by usage the court for the trial of cases of this kind, except in the small maritime provinces, which had courts of this char- acter previous to the federal union. The effect of the careful regard entertained for the marriage tie may be estimated from the fact, that from 1867 to 1886 there was only 116 divorces granted in Canada against 328,613 in the various States of the Union. The comparison I have made ought, I submit, to show that Canada has been steadily working out her own destiny on sound principles, and has in nowise shown an inc'ination to make the United States lxcr model oi imitation in am; vim] nm-timn ,___ ~Juvvnl us; "USU“! of the serious consideration of their co- workers in the cause of good and efficient government : An executive working in unison with and dependent on parliament ; its members be- ing present in both branches, ready to in. form the house and country on all matters of administration, holding office by the will of the people; representatives initiating and controlling all measures of public poli- cy and directing generally private legisla- tion. An effective and methodical system of procedure, regulating and controlling all legislation of a private character, so as to protect vested rights and public interests. A judiciary not dependent on public ca- price, but holding uiiicc during good behav- ior, and only removable by the joint action ; of the tWo houses and the executive of the ‘ federal State. A large and efficient body of public ser- vants whose members hold office not on an uncertain political tenure, but as long as they are able to perform their duties satis- factorily, and who have always before them the prospect of a. competency for old age at the close of a career of public usefulness. A system of voting at elections which effectually secures the secrecy and purity of the ballot, effectually guards the voter “against the ticket peddler, election work- ers and spies,” and practically “takes the monopoly of nomination out of the hands of professional politicians, and removes the MAI- “_-Lâ€"-â€"A of _._.---.v.uu uvrouucuuc of the provinces to a large extent on the Dominion exchequer, there is room for doubt whether the constitution of Canada does not exhibit elements of weakness. The Senate of the United States is a body of great power and varied ability to which the people may refer with pride and gratu- lation. The reference to the courts of all cases involving points of constitutional in- terpretation has also worked to the advan- tage of the commonwealths.
