It may be rough in flash and blood, yet do the work of a. soft heart, and do it with a soft touch. But there is no one thing that love so much needs as a. sweet voice to tell what it means and feels. and it is hard to get it and keep it in the right tone. One must start in youth. and be on the watch night and day. at work and play. to get and keep a voice that shall speak at all times the thought of a kind heart. But this is the time when a sharp voice is most apt to be got. You often hear boys and girls say words at play with a sharp tone. as if it were the snap of a whip. When one of them gets vexed you will hear a. voice that sounds as if it were made up of n snarl, s. whine and a bark. Such 3 Voice often speaks worse than the heart feels. It shows more ill-will in the tone than in the words. It is often in mirth that one gets a voice or a tone that is sharp, and sticks to him through life. and stirs up ill-will and grief. and falls like a drop of gall on the sweet joys at home. Such as these get u. sharp home voice for use and keep their best voice for those they meet elsewhere. just as they would save their best cakes and pics for guests and all their sour food for their own board. I would say to all boys and girls. “ Use your guests’ voice at home." Watch it by day as a pearl of great price. for it will be worth more to you in the days to come than the best pearl ‘ hid in the sea. A kind voice is a lark’s ? song toahearth and home.

The two cases of Benninger vs. Thrasher and Forrester vs. Thrasher, tried in the High Court of Justice, are interesting in themselves, but the points of law arising in them are still more noteworthy. The defendant was sued in the first action for the seduction of one Ellen Forrester. of BelleVille, who herself brought the second action, for breach of promise of marriage. The plaintiffs succeeded in obtaining large judgments in both cases, but as the defend-1 ant was then worthless, no money was ever recovered from him, and he obtained his discharge in insolvency. Since that time, however, he has succeeded in amassing con- siderable property. and the plaintiffs have issued new executions to recover the amount of their judgments.

The magnificent collection of bronzea belonging to the palace has been purchased by the same peram' and will not, therefore. be sold with the pictures and library. Locomotive. speaking of this subject. says that none of the appliances which are intended to give warning when the water is dangerously low are infallible. The tendency is to rely'too much upon them. and under such circumstances. when they do become inoperative. they are worse than uselessâ€"they become very dangerous. This is especially apt to be the case where the water is not of the best quality. and the apparatus consists of anything in the nature of a whistle. connected to the boiler with small pipe connections. Such‘ apparatus is almost sure to be neglected. so that the pipes become filled with sediment or scale. and than low water is tolerably certain to be the result. We would mention a case now which occurred a few miles of here. where implicit reliance was placed upon acontrivance of this sort. and with the fireman in constant attendance the water got low, and the first indications of it that Were noticed were the buckling oi the plates of the shell and the tube-sheets. whereby the seams were started, allowing the steam and water to escape. When this occurred the fireman became fright- ened and fled. expecting to have his flight accelerated by the explosion of the boiler. Fortunately. this did not occur. as the boiler was well made. of excellent material. and hung together. to use a homely phrase. until the water had all escaped. but the boiler was totally ruined. A London oablegmm says : In the House of Commons last. night several amendments were proposed to the Repression Bill but were rejected. An acrimonious discussion ensued. Progress was reported. A Ballina despatoh says: The inquest in the case of Melady, who was shot during a disturbance between the people and the constabulary. is concluded. Fifteen of a jury of twentyoone returned a verdict that death was caused by a gun shot wound in- flicted by the Irish constabulary. The jury expressed sympathy for the relatives of Melody. and recommended the Govern- ment to compensate them. -â€"--w A An attempt has been made to assassinate Michael Brown, a farmer of Rathglass, a few miles from Gross Mollins. county Mayo. The attempt was most daring and determined. Six men walked up to him in a field and asked him why he had taken a farm when he was warned against doing so. One man then placed a revolver against his forehead, and said. “ Now you will get your reward." Another man inter- posed and said. " Do not kill him ; he may ‘ be a good man yet." They then fired six shots at him. lodging two bullets in his . thigh.’ Some time after he was found _ insensible. One bullet has been extracted. ‘ but it is stated that the man. who is 60 years of age. cannot live. The police patrol had only passed the scene of the out- rage ten minutes before, and could hardly have been out of hearing of the shots. Four arrests have been made on suspicion. Another attempt was made to murder Henry East. an exten- sive farmer and millowner. living at Curraghtreroh, near Ballyfarnon. county Roscommon. It is perhaps one of the most daring outrages committed in Ireland. East. who had had some quarrel with his neighbors about cutting turl in his bog. was standing at 3 o'clock in his farmyard when three men with blackened faces and carry- ing heavy bludgeons jumped over the wall and attacked him in a most savage manner. His cries for help brought his son tohis : assistance, but he too was set upon and : compelled to seek safety in flight. East's wife came to the door. but the assailants also threatened to murder her if she inter- fered. They returned to the attack on their victim. Drawing their revolvers, they fired several shots. three of which took effect, one bullet lodging in his hip, another breaking his leg above the knee, and a third smashing his foot below the ankle. The injured man was sinking rapidly when the last despatch from the place was sent. Four men were arrested. but he could not identify them as being among his assailants. iomnmmnH--~ a Commissioner of National Education, resigned his position as manager of the national school on his property, as he expected to be assassinated, requesting that the appointment be transferred to his brother, Captain Bourke. Two Farmers Shot and Brutally Mul- trealcd -â€"Governmenl Reward for Bourke's Murderers. A last (Friday) night's Dublin cablegram says: The Government have lost no time in issuing anofler of a reward for the arrest of the assassins of Mr. Bourke. The pro- clamation appears in to-night’s Gazette offering £2,000 for such information as shall lead to the conviction of the person or persons who murdered Mr. Walter M. Bourke and Corporal Wallace. of the Royal Dragoons. A further reward of £1,000 is‘ offered for such private information as‘ shall lead to the same result. and a freei pardon and special protection for any accomplice who shall turn Queen's evi- dence. Also £500 for information which shall lead to the conviction of the person or persons who may harbor or maintain the murderers or assist them to escape. The assassinations are accompanied by a terrible outburst of agrarian crime. The facts reported this afternoon have created a profound sensation in Dublin. The Lord. Lieutenant and the permanent ofiicials were at the castle until a late hour to-night sending instructions to various parts of the country regarding the protection of certain landlords and officials who are in just as much danger as Mr. Bourke was. The feeling of despondency in the capital was never greater. The feeling is intensified by the fact that the agricultural prospect throughout the country is particularly bright. It was expected that this would tendto promote contentment and quiet ‘ among the farmers. Some twelve months ‘ ago the unfortunate Mr. Bourke. who was ' Agrarian Murders and Outruges in Ireland.

Writing to the United Service Gazette. an anonymous correspondent suggests that the use of oil in calming a rough sea might be of great aid in connection with lifebuoys. It is very astonishing the effect of merely one drop of oil on the surface of water around where it fell. yet how much would such a calm area created by it be appreciated by a struggling swimmer for dear life towards the life~buoy. if it were‘ only charged with a small allowance of oilI with coutrivance for its gradual oozing out, so as not to be discharged at once, and he thus drifted away in a compact area from the buoy ? With this. exhaustion from en- forced swallowing salt water when facing a rippling or crested sea. even with little wind, would to agreat extent. I apprehend. be allayed. Again, oilalso might effectually be adopted in dropping a life-boat from the ship by calming the waters alongside ; this could easly be done by a Jet from the neighborhood of the engine-room. where are oil tanks and numerous pipes of discharge. Such is the excitement that the accom- plished editor of the Courier-Journal, who was in New York on Wednesday. suddenly left this city on Wednesday evening on a. telegraphic summons. thereby casting a shadow over a social gathering of his friends, in order to bring Professor Tobin to reason and insist on his putting a stop at once to the demoralizstion of the com- munity.

A building in course of erection worth $15,000 was demolished. killing one man and wounding two. John Shea was caught in the storm and his skull fractured.

Among flower novelties are the immense jvelvet pansies, daisies, poppies and other methetic flowers. They measure from eight to eighteen inches in diameter. are colored in the most beautiful natural tints. and are arranged with one blossom and from one to three buds. without foliage. They are intended to fasten skirt draperies, and for coraage bouquets in the smaller sizes. They are not likely to become common. as the prices range from 38 to 815 apiece. The latest importations of flowers include the flower horseshoes worn as bonnets, with and without a crown piece. They are of small and large flowers, arranged in ‘ rows divided by leaves. Large bunches of flowers and fruits are also arranged, ready to place upon the large hats in case of accident to the plumes with which they are trimmed. This arrangement will be appreciated by those ladies who have‘ experienced the disastrous efl'ect of the sea atmosphere upon ostrich tips and plumes.

Dr. Covernton then delivered his opening address. The association promised to take a high rank among similar ones In America. After reviewing the work of the association since its formation. he advocated the establishing of local health boards and the appointment of local health oflicers as an aid to this association. also that doctors throughout the Provmce should send a list of the cases attended by them during each week with the severity and nature of the disease. The germ theory of zymotic and other diseases was scientifically adverted to. and the necessity of microscopic analysis as an important factor in discovering the ‘ origin and progress of diseases was con- sidered. The opinion of eminent medical scientists in favor of the theory of the con- tagious nature of tubeculosis-phthisis was referred to and also the fact that such a belief was gaining ground among mc .nbers of the profession. In relation to the disposal of the bodies of persons dying from contagious diseases the ecturer spoke of cremation as destroying all possibility of infection from those bodies. What favor the system may meet with among medical men remains to be seen. but there was little doubt that the public generally would at least at present oppose any such method of disposing of the bodies of their relatives.
