The advice to prteerve on all occasions a fixed and stony gaze is trite and altogether un necessary. I am quite well assured that 1 the man who writes a book on how to 1 be English, if he goes to his grave un- wept, unhonored and unsung, will at least have made enough out of the work to defray the expenses of his burial. But I want to say that the thing above all others is to have a small appetite, par ticularly at luncheon. In the near neighborhood of the city hall is a "hole in the wall,” where many of our most successful lawyers take their midday bite—in some cases a most sub stantial bite. There was quite a gather ing in this resort the other day at noon, when the very latest in London makeup arrived.

It is related at a re cent ]>ariHh meeting in Richmond, Me., to see about calling a pastor, a well known citizen prominent in church af fairs took occasion to remark on thu ap parent indifference of church members to the object for which the meeting had been called. He had hoped, he said, to see the church membership fully represented, but it was with much regret that he noted their ab sence. At the conclusion of the gentle man's remarks a woman in the congrega tion who had grown uneasy under his criticism ventured to suggest that there was a fair representation of the ecclesi astical body present, indicating by a wave of her hand several church members occupying seats in different parts of the house. For a moment it looked like a knock out in favor of the woman, but the gen tleman was equal to the occasion, and straightening up ho remarked with his usual gravity, "It may l>e that our members look and apjiear so much like the world’s people that 1 did not recog nize them.”—Lewiston Journal.

This is the way we feel and will act, but we hope, and will work in a legitimate way, for its repeal, unless argument and experience under the dispensary system will show that we now regard it in the wrong light, which is not probable. tanburg on week.

Here is a beautiful extract of one of Whittier’s letters to Elizabeth Stuart Phelps: I tyive just been reading Canon Far rar’s sermons on the "Eternal Hope,” and I agree with him in the title of one of them, that "Life is Worth Living,” even If one can’t sleep the biggest part of it away. Thee and I get more out of it, after all, than these sleek heade l folk who sleep o' night. I quite sympathize with thee in what thee say of the "causes.” Against all my natural incli nations I have been fighting for them half my life. "Woe is me, my motherl” I can say with the old prophet, "who has home me, a man of strife and conten tion.” I have suffered dreadfully fro. i coarseness, self seeking, vanity and stu pidity among associates, as well as from the coldness, open hostility, and, worst, the ridicule of the outside world; bnt 1 now see that it was best, and that ] needed it nil.—Century.

A Greek died in the small town of Caracal, having always lived on the alms of his compatriots. Before dying he made his wife swear that she would bury him in the dirty old overcoat which he wore every day. The poor woman had to ask the Greeks of Caracal to help her to provide the costs of the funeral. A good hearted Greek went to see her in her affliction, and pointing to the body said ho would give her a better coat to bury the man in. Then she told him of the dead man's last wish. The Greek, whose suspicions were awakened, told her that she should certainly not part with the body before she had well exam- ined the coat, for there must be some particular reason for the request. The widow nnpicked the lining of the over coat and found 35.000 francs in bank notes which the miser wished to take into the grave with him.—Vienna Cor. London News.

After a long and varied experience in the use of mineral waters’ from many sources, both foreign and domestic, I am fully persuaded that the Harris Lith ia Water possesses efficacy in the treatment of afflictions of the kidney and bladder unequalled by any other water of which I have made trial. This opinion is based upon observation of its effects on my patients for the past three years, during which time I have prescribed it freely and almost uniformly with benefit in the medicable maladies above mentioned. When failure to relieve has occurred, 1 have imputed it to insufficient use of the water, for my experience teaches me that from one to too quarts daily should be taHen fro'm two to four weeks, to secure its full remedial effects.
