John Blythe and the minister were walking down town together. John always walked, having nothing to ride except his hobbies, which his his friends declared he rode to death. But there was such an ever-increasing stud of those unpopular and costly racers that he was never without half a dozen reasonably fresh ones. And one of them, however hard ridden, came up, unbreathed and active, for service every day. John could not remember when he had not been abâ€" sorbed in the hope and the work of reforming prisoners and of saving from crime the street Arabs Whoabe- came prisoners. When he was six‘ ears old he had been permitted a irthday party, with the precious lib- crty of inviting the guests “hisself'” But when the afternoon arrived, his unsuspecting mother found her pretty parlors invaded by twelve little gut ter-snipes, not much cleaner as to vocabulary than as to person. John .grew more and more radiant with delight at each grimy and slinking arrival, so that his mother had hardly the heart to call him to account. And when she took him apart to say, “Johnny, how could you bring those dreadful boys into mama’s nice clean house ‘3”, he looked up with such pained amazement that she was silen- ced. “Why. mamma,” he said, “you told me I might invite which twelve little boys I choosed, and I choosed these, ’eause I knew they didn’t ever go to a birthday before.” Mrs. Blythe felt an uneasy apprehension that prac- tical Christianity might be a little uncomfortable in general use. But remembering a certain divine preâ€" scription of the etiquette pertaining to a feast, which insisted on the bid- ding of them who could not bid again, she only said, “Well, Johnny, tell mamma beforehand next time. And now we must take all your little friends up to the bath-room and give them a scrub before they play with the toys.” JOHN BLY'THE’S NAMESAKE Which very remarkable attention the young vagabonds received, by means whereof they would have re- membered the day forever as set apart from all others in their limited expe- rience, had it not also been set apart as a bewilderment; of games, cakes, beautiful surroundings, and double- handfuls of candy as a sort of stirrup cup, to a hew field, where he believed they would reform. “You are too hard on them, Egerton,” he was say- ing, in his vehement Way. “I tell you, we make ’em thieves and keep ’em-_thieves, and then shut ’em up be- cause they are thieves, in places where they shed their thieves’ skin andcome out‘ »sdmethihg Worse.

RICHMOND HLLL, ONTARIO, CANADA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1873 HIS the logic of events. I’ve got some friends in Rag-pickers’ Rowâ€"~carriage peopleâ€"drive a dog in a soapâ€"box,1 these aristocrats. Sometimes I drop? in there when I think the world is too‘ careless of my high mightiness. ‘ It’s a nasty cure for peevishness, but thox'Ough. The How has its water viewâ€"ea mud-puddle that is never dry, inhabited by an ague that’s never at home, but always out calling in the neighborhood. The rooms are ten by twelve, a family in every room, and at least ten souls, or cases for souls, in every family. The§lower the breed the larger the litter always. What do these creatures breathe? Air? No; stinks! What do they eat ? Food? No; garbage! What do they wear? Clothes? N0; rags and infection! Whatfifluid is in their veins? Blood? No; poison! What do they do ?‘ Live? N0; putrefy, body and bones, heart and brain l The brats are turned into the street as soon as they can toddle, to beg or steal. They get into the Tombs, of course, and on the Island,‘and so to Sing Sing, and so to a bad death. In short, they’re born in hell and live in , hell. And I declare to you again that , I don’t believe a just and tender Father will give them hell hereafter‘till they have had at least a chance.” “My dear John,” said his friend, “you can‘t wash convicts clean in paths of sentiment. You yourself wouldn’t trust a conviet’s repentance without long probation. There’s a great deal to be said on the other side ; but this is my corner, and I have work to do. 1’11 consider the ques- tidn‘, and‘he‘lp you ifi See my way” Blythe turned doWn a quiet ol‘osé- street, and Was startled out of hié me- d-itation by a woman’s scream. ~At‘ the same instant a man, stumbling up the steps of a dec area, ran violently against him. “ ot‘so fast, friendfl’ imid Blythe. “It‘s not polite to run away when people want your com- pany. We’ll just turn in hc‘re and -see for which of our virtues we are thus desired.” ‘ There wag no shaking 1himself free from the strong' grip of .i3‘~03pc(ll','flnd the man obeyed. T ‘ “ What‘s the 'roW,’ my girl?” said Blythe foo the servant at the window “Oh, the black thafe 1” she cried. “Sure I set me spoons on the Winder- llll, and it open 21 minute wid the dust, and me sweepin’, and the blatherin’ that he rachecl in :m’ tuk ’em, and me ketchin’ him in the not.” “Search me,” saithhe man quietly. It was early. Nobodyuwas in the street. Blythe took the man into the area, and turned his pockets inside out. Not so much as a pawn-ticket appeared. “Friend,” said he, “ I must trouble you totake off your boots.” The man laughed uneasily. “GEE-5’s up," he said. “Take your spoons watchful Bridget. I’m to go to the jug, I suppose. Who cares?” " Arothe spoons all right, my girl 1"” asked the amateur detective. “- An’ Why not, thanks to yer honor, and bad cess to the murdtherin’ rogue to be takin' yer honor’s time. And I’ll take me book oath agen him whenever yer honor saysl” The man went quietly for a few paces and then stopped. “ What are you going to do with me ‘1’” he said. “All right,” said Blythe. “Good- morning. Come with me, my Turpin bold.” “Well,” said Blythe, “either put you in nomination for civic honors, as alderman, for instance, where your talents wouldn’t remain hid in a nap- kin, or give you in charge, I think.” His captive studied his face. It was so open and kindly, the laugh had been so hearty, that he said, suddenly, “I wouldn’t like to lie to you, sir. I don’tlive anywhere. I come out of jail for the third time last Tuesday. I’m a regular jail-bird, I am, and I don’t expect to be nothing else. I’m too old. And I don’t suppose it mat- ters how soon I go back." The man’s voice was steady enough, but his lip twitched a little. “Couldn’t you kick me, sir, and let me go ?” asked the man eagerly Blythe laughed aloud. “Corporal punialmzont, as opposed to moral sua- sion, eh? Well, perhaps. Where do you live ?" “Then you didn’t breakfast at Del- monico’s this morning ?” said Blythe. “I didn’t breakfast nowheres those two days, sir," replied the prisoner. “My young friend,” said his queer keeper, “ I have observed throughout; my virtuous life that when there is a chronic emptiness of the stomach there is a. corresponding shakiness of the moral nature. Here is my card. Will you do me the honor and pleas- ure of breakfasting with me ?” The amazed convict replying not, was forthwith hauled to a cellar-res- taurant, Where, having ordered half the bill of'fare, Blythe sat back in his chair complacently observing the furnished eagerness of his human wolf. When even the chronic emptiness was temporarily filled, the wolf said, sheepishly, “I don’t mind telling you, sir, since you have acted so handsome, that I wouldn’t have took them spoons if I hadn’t ha’ been just starved. That ain’t no excuse in the Courts, I know, and I expect to go up for it; but I thought you’d kind 0’ feel as if you hadn’t wasted your money so bad if you knew how holler I was. I’m ready now, sir, if your time’s up.” “Not quite up,” said John. “ Sup- pose you tell me how it began. Per- haps I could speak a word for you. I’m a. lawyer.” The other stared with surprise. “A lawyer,” he said, “and give away a breakfast like that! That beats all crackyl But there’s nothing to tell, sir. I’m a Wheelwright. I got sent up the first time for being drunk and disorderly. I lost my place, and then come a strike, and no work; and I took a nip sometimes, and got sent up'for petty larceny. And I sort 0’ slipped into the thieves’ ring; and, byme-by I got a three years’ term. But I was sick of the business, and I worked hard and kept the rules, and got a good name. out, I goes to my old shop to get work ; and thinksI ’tain’t fair to the boss not ' So when I come ; to own up, ’cause he might have hard words heaved at him by the rest of the handsif they found it out. And so he wouldn’t take me; and none of f the other bosses wouldn’t, ’causo I told ’cmâ€"for, thinks I, taiu‘t no use to pretend you want to be honest with a lie on your tongue. So then I tried to get orter’s work, and other things, but no ody wouldn’t take aman with- out a character. Idon’t blame ’em. I s’pose I shouldn’t myself, if I was one ofthem. Well, I hadn’t no money nor credit, but I used to want my victuals just as regular as though I had good wages; and so I took a watch, and got sent up again. I’m a pretty decent chap in jail, you see. I don’t get no liquor, and after a little I don’t want it. And I’m a proper good workman. And the warden he used to'let me have the picture papers on Sundays. And I made up my mind again that I’d just be anew man when I got out. So I did get out last Tuesday, with these clothes and two dollars, and a nice new knife that the warden gave me. So then I tried right off for work. And when the boss says, ‘Where did you work lastl’ I says, ‘ Come now, I won’t tell you no lies. I worked at the prison: I’m a convict.’ And then ’twas the same old story. So Isold the knife and the handkerchief, and the last of them and my two dollars was eat’up and slep’ up night before last. So yester- day I didn’t have no victuals; and I thought maybe I’d go to some minis- ter and tell him. But ministers ain’t much in my way; and besides I didn’t want to begâ€"I wanted to work. So I walked round all night last night, ’cause I couldn’t go into them holes to the station-houses to sleepâ€"I know ’em too well. And when I seen them ‘ spoons waiting, in the winder this; morning purpose to be took, I couldn’t l hold out no longer. I didn’t expect to get nabbed; but I guess I didn’t care much. And that’s all,” said the man, pulling up suddenly. “ I guess having to hold your tongue so much up to the prison kind 0’ makes it run at bgth ends when you get out.” “ I beg your pardon, sir, for doing of it. But if it’s the same to you, I’d rather push along to the station ; for talking to you sort 0’ makes me hate to go back again." And he lookedâ€"this i hardened convictâ€"quite capable of human tears. “ i’ve concluded,” said Blythe, etly, “ to transport you instead” The man jumped up. “Why, that ain’t American law, is it?” he cried. “Why should I care, though? Just as you say, sir. You've treated me fair, and 1 don’t doubt you know the law.” “It's gospel, if it Blythe, heartily, “ namg, my Eriend ?”A “John Brand, sir; but the name's a brand to me now, and if L’m to be shipped, I’ll take another, i.“ it ain’t- against the law.” v“ All right,” said his sponsor " take mine, ‘ John Blythe.’ It’s a'gcod, hun~ est name, and I’ll trust you to keep it so. You’re going to Philadelphia to a friend I have there in the carriage business; big house; good wages; chance to rise. I’ll write to him and tell him all about you in a letter you take. He is not to report to me. 11' you do well you’ll be glad to let me know it yourself. If you don’t, I’d rather not know at all. I’ll have no spies upon you, and I’ll trust you to keep i'ultli with me. You’ll want. anâ€" other suit and ten dollars in your pocket to make you feel respectable. So now we’ll go and get fitted and buy our ticket, and take our rather damang wares to a new market.” You cannot pay too careful atten- tion to business it‘you want to sue- ceed, that is. It is the result of prac- tical, everyday experience that steady attention to matters 01 detail lies at the root of human progress, and that diligence, above all, is the mother of good luck. Accuracy, also, is of much importance, and an invariable mark of good training in a manâ€"â€"-accuracy in observation, accuracy in the tran- saction of afl'airs. What is done in business must be well done, for it is better to accomplish a small amount of work than to half do ten times as much. Yet in business afl‘airs, it is the manner in Which even small mat ters are transacted that often decides men for or against you. With virtue, capacity and good conduct in other respects, the person who is habitually inaccurate cannot be trusted ; his work has to be don over again, and he thus causes endless annoyance, vexation and trouble.

Although we do not yet approach the Ontario Ex; hibition, nevertheless, wonderful pro- gress is being made in every depart- ment of agriculture and arts. The show in the department of live stock and implements was far in advance of previous years, and the amount of money given by the Government to the Board, has been much greater than on former occasions. which has made a much more livelier competiâ€" tion. Our French Canadian height bors are evidently looking up in the essential things which tend to develop the resources of their country Eand benefit themselves. ENORMOUS ATTENDANCE. . The attendance on Wednesday after- ‘noon was great beyond all precedent. At three o’clock the vast grounds were densely packed, and the crowd still pouring in. At one time it was impossible to supply tickets fast enough. All the road from the city to the grounds was lined with carria- ges, cars, omnibusses, and a complete procession of pedestrians, the whole presenting the appearance of the road to Epsom on a Derby day. It was computed that there were.40,000 per- sons on the grounds on Wednesday. TEMPEBLNCE VIGILANCE ASSOCIATION.‘ “A few evenings since a large number of persons met to discuss the advisabil- ity of organizing a. Society to see that the laws regulating and restricting the sale and traffic in intoxicating drinks were carried into effect. The chair was occupied by the Hon. J. Sena.- tor, who is a veteran temperance man, and has been for the. last. ferty years. A series of resolutions were moved by some of our leading citizens, which were adopted, having in View simply the car- rying out of the laws as they now stand in the statute books of our country re- garding the sale of spirituous liquors. If the laws we have were enforced, our Dominion, Provincial and Municipal Legislatures would be more anxious to give us more stringent ones. The A3- sociation has been fully organized and is going immediately to work, and we hope to hear of great things fromfthem soon. * On transportation have been here for the purpose to espy the outlets for. the produce of the west. The Committee was composed of Senator Windom, of Minn, Senator Sherman, of Ohio, Sen-, atar Norwood, of Georgia, and Senator Conklin. They will prepare a report which will be submitted to Congress at its next session. There is every reason to believe that they Will recommend the St. Lawrence route for the conveyance of the breadstufl's of the \Vest to the seaboard, and if such is done, it will make Montreal a. second New York, and at no distant day will make her equal if not superior.

She flies across the country in her private train, which is perhaps the most com- plete and luxurious in the world. It consists of eight saloon carriages and offices, connected by covered passa- ges, and is divided into dining and drawing-rooms, bed-rooms, and kit- chens. The dining-room has large oval windows, which give uninter- rupted views over the country through which the train passes ; the drawing- room is an elegant apartment, prettily furnished; and the bed-rooms might be those of a comfortable house. rl‘he beds are seemingly oi the ordinary kind, but are in reality hammocks, which enable their occupants to sleep without sustaining any annoyance from the vibration of the train. At- tached to the train are apartments for servants, of whom there are a great number, ranging from butlers to en gine drivers and porters.

MONTREAL NOTES. Luximous Traveling. EXHIBITION WEEK. SENATE COMMITTEE One day recently, a respectable, well- dressed man carried a well-grown child, muffled up and apparently sick, into French’s Hotel, New York.~ He placed the child on the stairs and began to talk to.it in a very unkind and. rough way. The attention of the guests was attracted and they gatheredjaround. “ You are able to walk up stairs by yourself,” the man said, “ and I will not carry you.” ' ‘ THE YORK HERALD “ Oh, oh,” the child said, “ do carry me up ; please psi, do. You know ever since I was run over by the car and lost both my feet I can’t walk up stairs alone.” The poor child began to seb Worse than before, and the brutal man gave it a severe thump on the side of the head. The child moaned piteously. The in- dignation of the bystanders was excited, and one of them said to the man, “ Is that child yours 3" ' “That’s all stuff,” the man replied, “ get up at once or I’ll make you.” Termazâ€"One Dollar per Amman in Adamo “ What’s that to you ?” the man an- swered. “I won’t tell you.” “ He'sâ€"â€"myâ€"-â€"father,”. the child sob- bed, “andâ€"â€"heâ€"â€"killedâ€"â€"myâ€"-mother â€"j1;stâ€"-asâ€"~he’s-â€"aâ€"goingâ€"toâ€"-ki11 â€" The man doubled. his fist and made as though he was about to give the child a savage blow. ' One of the by- standers interfered, and said 2 “ Say, if you don’t stop this I’ll call a policeman. I never saw such a cruel father in all my life.” The man began'to fumblé in his poc- kets, and the child cried out, " Take care, he’s got a knife ;" he’S' aâ€"going to stick you.” ‘ ’ Sure enough the man produced a knife, and opened it. The crowd slip- ped off one by one, except two. ‘ _ “ Bring an officer,” one of them cried to a friend. I ' > “ If I am arrested,” the man said, "it shall be for something,” and there- upon he plunged the knife into the body of the child. The child shrieked, “ I’m murdered 1 I’m murdered l” and a crowd rushed to the spot. The man quietly raised the child in his arms, and remov- ing his hat said, “ Gentlemen, this is a wooden child ; I’m a ventriloquist, arid any little offering you may be pleased to make will be very acceptable.” Let parents talk much and talk well at home. A father ,Who is habitually silent in his own house may be in many respects a wise man, but he is not wise in his silence. \Ve sometimes see pa- rents, who are the life of every company they enter, dull, silent, uninteresting at home among their children. If they have not mental activity and mental stores sufficient for both, let them first provide for their own household. Ire- land exports beef and wheat, and lives on potatoes 5 and they fare as poorly who reserve their social charms for companions abroad, and keep theirdull- ness for home consumption. It is bet- ter to instruct children and make them happy at home than it is to charm strangers or amuse friends. _ A silent house is a dull place for young people -a place from which they will escape if they can. They will talk or think of being shut up there 3 and the youth ‘ who does not love home is‘in danger. Everything earthy has an humble origin, so we meekly accept the fact that the pretty jet ornaments so popu- lar with ladies are.made from a spe cies of coal ; and the sparkling mate- rial made by the hand of the. artistic workman into a “thing of beautygl’ once formed the~ branch of a stately tree, whereon the birds of the air rested and under which the beasts of the field reposcd; yet geologists as- sure us that such is really the fact. They describe it as a variety of coal which occurs sometimes in elongoated uniform masses, and sometimes in the form of branches, with a woody struc- im-e. It is, in its natural state, soft and brittle, of a velvet black color, and luszmus. ~It is found in large quantities in Saxony, and. also in Prussian amber mines in detached fragments, and being exceedingly resi- nous, the coarser kinds are there used for fuel, burning with a greenish flame, and a strong bituminous smell, leaving an ash, also of a greenish color. Jot is likewise found in Eng land, on the Yorkshire coast. Miss Smiley, the Quakeresé preuchg er. has been recruiting at Saratoga.
