Mr. Gladstone was present on Thursday, at an entertainment given to 600 aged pauper inmates of the St. Pancras Workâ€" house by Mr. Heury Skoines, ane of the guardians, and other friends. ‘There was a very liberal bill of fare, including joints, vegetables, pastry aud fruit, with ale and lighter drinks. â€" In the evening tobaceo and snuff were freely distributed. There was also a very varied programime of amuse ments. It was intended fo hold a garden party in the evening, but the weather . forâ€" bade it, and the whole of the proceedings ‘ took place in the large dining hall of the workhouse. Mr. Gladstone dived off the same fare as the inmates, and the music of the bagpipes, which seemed to animate them more than any other item in the list of amusements, drew from him vigorous lnpphw. which was repeated when the pipers subsequeatly played Lefore the right hou. geutlemaun. . ‘The usual loyal tossts being duly honored, Mr. Robinscu proposed "The | Health of Mr. Gladstone," which was reâ€" l ccived wish great chearing. p Mr. Gladstone, in responding, saidâ€"Mr. ‘ Skoines, when you were good enough to invite me to be one of your guests, I beâ€" thought me what answer I should send. I am sorry to say I receive every day from differsat parts of the country solicitations to atteni this or that meeting, or baunquet, Mr. Gladstone and the Faupers DURHAM, Co. Grey, SEPTEMBER 25, 1879. Whole No. 84. POETRY Death. or anviversary, which I am compelled to decline. But it appeared to me that there was somiething in this celebration which I had better think over before declining: Well, when I thought it over I came to the conclusion that it was no mesns a commonplace occasion. There was one qualification for being a guest on this occaâ€" sion which I know myself to possess. I am informed that all of you have passed, or nearly attained the limit of seventy years of age. In about four months, if I am spared, I shall strike the clock, so to speak, for my seventieth birthday. Let me say next that I desired on this oczasion, by my presence and by my coming to London, maiuly for the purpose of being liere, to do honor to yourself, Mr. Skoines. It appearâ€" ed to me that this was a kindly and generâ€" ous endeawor to brighten, for one day at least, the existence of those to whom external fortune has not been kind in alâ€" ‘ lotting what are called the good things of life. I felt you were doing a good act, and setting a good example. We are not here to talk politics. I knew nothing of your | politics until I came into this room, when | some good spirit, or some spirit less than good, I know not which, whispered into my ear that you were what is ealled & ‘"‘Tory." If that be so, I congratulate the Tories upâ€" l on one memberof their body. I wish we may have many Libera‘s mnut less kindly: and not less considerate. There has toâ€"day been carried to many an uged bosom the consoling reflection that there are many in the outer world who care for them, and who desire to contribute to their happiness It required no practised tongue to say this, but I was desirous to come here on my own account. I wished first of all to give myâ€" self a gratification. My life presents to me a great varicty of scenes and occasions. But among all these seenes and occasions, I tell you, with unfeigned sincerity, I have not witnessed one for a long time that has filled me with heartier or livelier pleasures than to be a ghest at the present assemblâ€" age. (Cheers.) I desired in a very slight manner to take an opportunity which does not often offer itself to me of testyfying as well as I could, my interest in your lot. I1, this great establishment of which you are inmates it is not possible, consistently with the interests of the community, to give many iudalgences which I am conâ€" vinced many of those who administer the i rules would desire to give if they felt that it could be done with safety. Ladies and gentlemen, it is not besause the receiving |Lf|h9§t‘ indulgences would be dangerous o mischieyous to yourselves that they are ’ uot given; it is because of the effectâ€"which I ain quite sure you will appreciateâ€"that | would be produced ou the community at large if these establishments, which are maintained out of the lator of that comâ€"| _ munity, and at its expense, were made, IL establishments of luxurious living. It isi T necessary that the independent laborer of C this country should not be solicited and “‘ tempted to forego his duty to his wife, his ': children, and the community, by thinking | f he can do better for himself by making i5 himself a charge on the comhmuity. \ $ m ; ti There is no mors subtle porison that cou!d be infused into the nation at large than a ‘ * system of that kind. We were in danger; t of that some fifty or sixty years ago, but £ the spirit and the courage of the Parliaâ€" ® tment of 1834 and of theGovernment of the| ° day introduced a sounder and wiser system ; â€"that which is administered here with|| kinduess, but also with firmness. 1 lm\'el] no doubt, ladies and gentlemen, that you ‘: have enjoyed the bauquet of toâ€"day. At j least I have shared it, and I have enjoyed l “‘ it, and if you have done as well as I have,| you have not done badly. (Cheers.) But & it would not be proper, it would not be|‘ right, ladies and gentliemen, that feas‘ts of |* | this kind should be provided tor you at the | ‘ | charge of the community, which consists 4 in greater part of men, and to a great exâ€" ' tent of women, obliged to labor for their l subsistenco from morn to eve. It would| not be right that that should he done at | the public charge ; it is a very different| thing when done at the expense of a volunâ€" | teer. The difficulty is sometimes to find such volunteers. Let meassure you of my sympatlhy with you. I am aware my apâ€" pearance here is the sole token of it. There are a great many things in this world,| which I plaioly flel that I am| compelled to leave undone. I know not| whether it be want of inclination,but this I I know painfully, that in my line of life the demands are greater than the limits of my time, and greater than human strength, It was to me, therefore, a rare and rich occaâ€" | sion to be allowed to appear before you, and to assure you that the spirit of the senâ€" t.ment so often cited, of our common life, | our common nature, our common responâ€" | sibilitios, is a spirit ever present to my | mind. You may think, ladies and gentleâ€" | men, that my lot in life bas beep in many | respects a more fortunate one than yours. ‘l Well, there is one respect which I doubt ‘ | very much if any of you would altogether ‘ | like to exchange with me, and that is in ‘ | the quantity of work I have got to do. . In other matters I am qw dtbat I " have been temporarily bles beyond ‘ | my deserts. To some of you it may occur * | that those whoâ€"are thus favored cuuld not ‘uy one wordl of comfort or ccusolation : | to you without an appearauce of hollowâ€" °|neu Or insincerity, because, you â€"may arâ€" * | gue, "If poverty is such a good thing why I | don‘t they turu to it themselves ?" _ I shall B ‘ not enter at large into that subject, but 5 | this I will say, it is very 1 for those t, l g‘; belong tg the vukhifllmx to be brought into contact with you and to reâ€" member how entirely and absolutely we all stand upon the one level in the face of One greater than ourselves; For we live in an age when many of us have forgotten that the Gospel of our Saviounr Christ, which he caime to preucli, and the sanction of which He sealed with His blood, in adâ€" dition to all else, and besides scattering !blenings over every class, was above all the Gospel of the poor ; that the lot of the lpoor was the lot which he at least chose for Himself; that from the ranks of the poor He selected His apostles, who went forth into the world to found the most glorious kingdom ever exhibited to the | eyes of man: and that from His ownI mouth proceedcd the words which assured | us, in reference to temporal circumstanees, ' chat the time will come when many of the first shall be last, and many of the last {a]mll be first. Blessed, no doubt are the ‘rich if they eonfront the many and sultle I temptitions of the life they have to lead. : But blessed also, as we have been assured, 1 | are the poor who aceept with chcerfuluess } | the limited cireuinstances and conditions in which they have to pass the few flecting years, now brought nearly to a close for me und for all of you, and who are content t« | look forward to the hope that is beyond the 'gra\'e. and to the brightness that shines | apon the further shore of the dark river of iriver _ of _ death. _ May _ the _ recolâ€" lections of this day serve to cheer you for many a future day, aud be a source of thauk{ulness for the past and an indication that there lies for you in the future, unless it be your own unhappy fault, hope of lbright days, whon your life will be relieved of every burden laid upon it here by adâ€" verse cireumstances, you will be brought ,into the enjoyment of happiness that shall { never be disturbed. i The right hou. genllemen subsequently irspected the establishment with connsidâ€" {emble minuteness.â€"Edinburgh Scolsman. w m o se C diices anbcrdnwas We may consider animals under various aspects, according to the stand points from which we view them. _ We may, as in the case of a cat, consider them in the light intelligence. "Dr. E. W. Jolhnson, drugâ€" gist, while sitting quietly in his store, heard a seratch at his door, which he took to be that of the dog of a friend who often visited him. He did not rise for the moment, and nenrd' the seratch repeated. HMe opened the door and in walked a strange cat, which looked up in a friendly way in his face. ‘The cat rommed about the store, going as cats do into all the old nooks and corners. F inally: she came behind the counter, where the Doctor was waiting upon a customer. Turning round he found the cat at a drawer, endeavoring to get the knob in her mouth acnd with both paws around it, endeavoring apparently to pull out the ‘drawer. He drove the cat away not thinking for the moment what she was after. In a few seconds pussy was again at work, and flli.\l ‘ time the Doctor bethought lhim that she: l was ut the cataip drawer. He opened it, threw down a handful of the herb, in the | eating of which and in rolling in which the cat seemed to be in epstrueies; he gave puss a second dose, ind puss had her fll, very soon after leaving the store. The Doctor had never seen her before,and has not seen her since. A sick cat? In pursuii of med‘cine 2 If so how did she learn where to go und just where to look forit? We l stuate plain facts." Here, the fact seems natural enough, but the philosophy thereon fiction. We may next as in the case of a beatle consider them is Horculeses of strength. The orretes maimom is n threeâ€"horned beetle larger than any English species, though perhaps not so long as some specimens of the stag beetle. ‘This insect has just astonished me by a proof of its vast strength of body. Every one who has taken the eommor dorr in his hands knows that its limbs, if not reâ€" markable for agility, are very powerfal,but | I was not prepared for so Samsonian a feat as I have just wituessed. When the insect( was brought to me, having no box imâ€" i mediately at hand, I was at a loss where ito put it until I could kill it ; but a quart Ebut&lo full of milk being on the* table, I elapped the beetle for the present under I that,the bollow at the bottom allowing him room to stand upright. Presently, to my l surprise, the bottle began slowly to move and glide along the smooth table, propelled | by the muscular power of the imprisoned insect, and coutinued for some time to perâ€" ambulate the surface, to the astonishment of all who witnessed it. The weight of the bottle and its contents could not have been less than three pounds and a half, while that of the beetle was about half an ounce; so that it readily moved a waeight 112 times exceoeding its own. A better aotion than figures can convey will be obtained of this feat, by supposing a lad of fifteen to be imâ€" prisoned under the great bell of St. Paul‘s, which weighs 12,000 pounds ; aud to move it togrmnd fro upon & sin00th pavement by Again, we may, as in the case of the seaâ€" . mouse, consider them in relation to Leauty, 1 dilating thereon with admiration. The sea mouse is one of the prettiest creatures that lives under water. It sparkles like a diamond, and is radiant with all the colors of the rainbow, although it lives in naud at the bottom of the ocean. It should not be culled a mouse, for it ielarger than a big rit. Itis covered with seales that move The Social Affections of Animals. upand down as it breathes, and glitters like gold shining through a feecy down, from which fiue silky bristles wave, that constantly change from one brillian tint to another, so that, as Cavier, the great naturalist says, the pluinage of the humâ€" raing bikd is not more beautifal. Endless, indsed, are the ways in which we may corsider thein ; but we coufine ourselves to the consideration of their social affections with regard to man : nor do we purpose to discdss this in general but only to touch it in a few curious points. 1. There isin some animals, a strong bias towards man,in consequence of which they ensily become tamc. From this innate disposition many berome obedient to his will, not a few become echoes of himself, among which is the parrot. Leo, son of the Emperor Basilins Macedo, was accused by Theodorus Sandalbarenus, of having a design upon the life of his father, and was thereupon cast into prison, from which he was freed through the instrumentality of a parrot. The Emperor, upon a certain occasion, entertained some of the great nobles of his court. They were all seated, when a parrot which was hung up in the hall (in a mournfal tone) cried ont, "Alas ! alas ! poor Prince Leo." It is very proâ€" bable that he had frequently heard courtâ€" iers passing, bewailing the Prince‘s hard fortune in those terms. He frequently reâ€" peated these words, which at last so affectâ€" ed the courtiers that they could not eat, The Emperor observed it, and entreated ‘ them to make a hearty repast ; when one of them with tears in his eyes, said, "How should we eat, sire, when we are thus reâ€" proached by this bird for want of duty to your family ?2 The brute is mindful of its Lord ; and we that have reason, have neâ€" glected to supplicate your Majesty in beâ€" half of the prinee, whom we all believe to be innocent, and to suffer under calamity." The Emperor moved by these words comâ€" manded a guard to fetch Leo out of prison, admitted him te his presence, and restored him first to his favour, and then to his form« er dignities.

Fish have beâ€" come so tame as to eat out of his hand in their native streams. Inlike manner we have tamed fish, as the goldâ€"fish, kept in globes of glassas curiosities and ornaments in our parlors. â€" Again, Mons. Carbonnier, f Paris, who has been so successful in rearing "Paradise fish" and other rare kinds of tropical fish in Earope, bas recently been fortunate enough to secure several specimens of strange fish from China and India, viz., the climbing perch, the gourami, the telescope fish and the rainbow fish. The climbing perch (Anabas scandens) is celebrated for its powers of travelling on 'dry lard by meaus of its long pectoral fins, and has even been credited with the power of climbing trees by this meaus. â€" Whether ur not this laiter statement is correct, it is true that this fish will travel long distances over lavd, advancing by means of a succes> sion of jerks or jumps. Their mode of breathing is very peculiar. As they have tie power of living a long time out of water, ond must thoreforo breathe the air‘ direct, without the intervention of water, and yet at the same tize are obliged to live for long periods in water, they are enabled to breathe throngh their gills,like ordinary fish, and also direct through their mouths, and with this object they froquently rise to the surfrce of the water to breathe. These \fisb seldom attain a greater weight than 1 1b., but aro considered very delicate eating lunong the natives of India. One of the most interesting of all the new varietiss is the "fighting fish" of the East Indies. It is a favorite amusement among the natives of the East Indian islands to secure a numâ€" ber of these fish, and pit them one against the other, just as English "gentlemen" of Waso‘s me! for cattic‘s goad un‘ gane An‘, oh! naebody seems to ken ; The busy warld mak‘s nae mane 5 In time o‘ necd.

Professor Wilder caught one when he was a boy,and he gives the followâ€" ing necount of his somewhat disagreeable pet :â€" One of our common bats(probably either the ‘little brown bet," Vespertilio subulatus, or the ‘little red bat‘) flew into the hotke one evening, and was caught under a bat. It squeaked and snapped its little jaws so viciously that all efforts towards closer nequaintance were postponed uutil mornâ€" ing. *"When uncovered the next day it seemed as fierce as before, but less active in its movements, probably overpowered by the glare of daylight. When touche? its jaws opened wide,tne sharp teeth were exposed, and from its little throat came the sharp, stecly cliks so characteristick of our bats. Nor did this fierce demeanour soften in the least during the day, and when night apâ€" proached I was about to let it go, but the sight of a big fly upon the window supgestâ€" ed an attempt to feed the captive. Held by the wings between the points of a pair of forceps, the fly had no sooner touched the bat‘s nose than it was seized, crunched and swallowed. The rapiqity of its disâ€" appearance accorded with the width to which the eater‘s jaws were opened to 1eâ€" ceive it, and, but for the dismal erackling of skin and wings, reminded one of the sudden engulfment of the boctles by a hungry young robin. "A second fly went the same road. The third was more deliberately marticated,and I ventured to pat the devourer‘s head. Inâ€" stantly all was changed. The jaws gaped as if they would separate, the crushed fly dropped from the tongue, and the wel‘â€" known click proclaimed a hatred and doâ€" fiance which hunger could not subdue nor food appense. So at least it seemed, and I think any but a boy naturalist would have yielded to the temptation to fling the spiteâ€" ful creature out of the window. Perhaps, too, a certain obstinacy made me unwilling to so ensily relinquish the newlyâ€"formed hope of domesticating a bat. At any rate, another fly was presented, and, like the former, dropped the moment my fingers touched the head of the bat, With a third, I waited until the but seemed to be actualâ€" ly swallowing, and unable either to disconâ€" tinue that process or open its mouth to any extent. "Its rage and perplexity were comical to behold, and, when the fly wus really down, it seemed to almost burst with the effort to express its indignation. But this did not prevent it from falling imto the same trap again ; and, to make a long story short, it finally learned by experience that, while chewing and swallowing were more or less interrupted by snapping at me, both operâ€" utions were quite compatible wito my gentle stroking of its head. And even a bat has brains enough to see the foolishness of losâ€" ing a dinner in order to resent an unsolicitâ€" ed kindness. Over the grave of a threeâ€"year old child ‘buried near Midford, Conn., last year, a veautiful white swan has ever since kept wateh, scarcely leaving the mound, even to eat. Any one who attempts a near apâ€" proach is greeted with the bird‘s shrill cries and preparation for an stiack, ‘The "In a few days the bat would take flies from my fingers ; although, either from egarness or because blinded by the light, it too often nipped me sharply in its efforts to seize the victim. "Its vorreity was almost incredible. For several weeks it devoured at least fiity houseâ€"flies in a day (it was vacation, and my playmates had to assist me), and onee disposed of cighty between daybreak and sunset. "This bat I kept for more than two months. â€" It would shuffie neross the table when I entered the room, and lift up its head for the expested fly. When travelling it was carried in my breast pooket, "In the fali it died, either from overeat> ing or lack of exercise, for 1 dared not let it outâ€"of doors, and it was so apt to injure itself in the rooms that I seldom allowed it to fly.
