A number of lumber manufacturers agreed that the pro. duct of all their mills should be sold to the corporation which they unitedly constitut~ ed, that sales of all lumber manufactured by the mills in the Trust should be through its agencies, and that any millowner in the combine should pay a fine into its treasury if he were found to have sold on his own account contrary to agreement. One mill. owner broke the bond. He was sued for the fine and for breach of contract by the Trust. The court dismissed the suit with costs against the plaintiffs on the ground AL_A A celebrated Persian sage gave this advice concerning the choice of a wife 2â€"“ Choose no women whose lips droop at; the corners, or your life will be a perpetual mourning; nor yet should they curve too much upward, ior that denotes frivolity. Beware of the under lip that rolleth outward, for that woman hath little conscience.

There is non single office. profession, or vocation, from the high duties of the mon- arch to the drudgery of the dustman, that does not owe but its honour an’l success to unctuality and attention.

According to Lord Fortescue, not only is this waste in the dwellings, but also in the wholesale houses, and speaking at a public meeting in Exeter the other day, he said :â€"â€" “ When I went to see the Aylesbury Dairy arrangements in London I was horrified to hear that gallons and gallons of that most nutritious part of the milkâ€"~that which built up the fabric of flesh, and especially hone, in man and animalsâ€"were 'being thrown down the sewere. There was a poor neighbourhood whining and lamenting, but in which plenty of betting was going on, yet the ‘slummere‘ would not take the trouble to carry away this buttermilk, although they were of invited to do so ‘ free gratis, for nothi .’ The managers of the dairy had no room to store it, and any eonruees in the atmosphere would have spoiled their products.” However, " Rabbits Ain't Part- ridges." 1 Bay that; rabbits was so thick that I could shut my eyes and bit ’60: four times runnin' and not make a. miss, you will say that I'm atremhin’ the truth. “’ell, it’s facks, jess the same.

I don’t: like to aeemr no lie, but when The Persian public decided the other day that the railroad is an enemy of the human race, because a man who jumped off a train while in motion fell under the wheels and was killed. They accordingly tore the cars in pieces and would have wiped out the train employee if the latter had not taken to their heels. It is usual for people during their early acquaintance with the locomotive, to regard the snorting monster as a very sus- picious character, and Congo natives have not yet got over the impression that it is a ‘ lusty devil hidden away in the steamboat ‘ boiler who makes the wheels go round. We cannot afford to laugh very much at these ignorant brethren, for our own great-grand- fathers declared that it was utter nonsense to suppose that steam cars could carry pas- sengers faster than ten miles an hour with, out smashing everybody up, and, besides, all the horses would be scared into fits and permanently ruined. The Persian public will doubtless grow to like the great Western idea in spite of its noise and dangers. An Enemy of the Human Race banished from society. Mutual complais- ancrs, attentions and sacrifices of little can» vcniences, are as natural an implied com» pact between civilized people as protection and obedience are between kings and sub- jects ; whoever, in either case. violates that uompac", justly forfeits all advantages aris- ing from it.» [Chestelfieli A friend of mine has very justly defined good-breeding to be “ the result of mnch good sense, some good nature, and a little selfldeninl for the sake of others, and with a view to obtain the same indulgence from them." Taking it for grantedâ€"as I think it cannot be disputedâ€"it is astonishing to me that any body, who has good sense and good nature. essentially fail in good breeding. As to the modes of it, indeed, they vary accord- ing to persons, places and circumstances, and are only to be acquired by observation and experience ; but the substance of it is everywhere and eternally the same. Good manners are to particular societies what good morals are to society in generalâ€"their ce- ment and security. And as laws are enacted to enforce good morals, or at least to prevent the ill effects of bad ones, so there are cer- tain rules of civility, universally implied and received, to enforce good manners and pun- ish bad ones, and indeed there seems to me less difierence, both between crimes and pun- ishments, than at first one would imagine. The immoral man who invades another‘s property is justly hanged tor it; and the ill-bred man, who by his ill-manners in vades and disturbs the quiet and comforts of Briva‘te life, is by common consent as justly not.” Fight on, than brave true heart, and falter not. through dark fortune and through bright. The cause thou tightest for, so far as it is true, no further, you precisely so far. is very sure of victory.
