SELECT READING. DOWN HILL. A PICTURE OF LIFE Not long since, I had occasion to visit one of our courts, and while with a legal friend I heard the name of Jobn Anderson called. 'There is a hard case,' remarked my friend. * 1 looked upon my friend in the prison- er's dock. He was standing up and pleaded guilty to the charge of theft. He was a tall man, bent and infirm, though not old. His garb was torn, spare and filthy, his face all bloated and bloodshot, his hair matted with dirt, nod his bent form quivered with delirium. Certainly I never saw a more pitiable object. Surely that myn was not born a villian. I moved from my place to obtain a better view of his face. He saw my movement and turned his head. He gazed upon me a single moment, and tiien cover ing his face with. his hands he sunk powerless into his seat. 'Guod God I' Iinvoluntarily ejacu- lated, starting forward. * Will ! 1 had half spoken his name when Tie ralsed nfs head and cast upon me a look of such imploring agony that my tongue was tied at once. Then he covered bis face again. I asked my legal companion if the prisoner bad a counsel, He said no. I then 'old b'm to do all in his power for ti @ poor fellow's benefit and 1 left. I could not remain to see him tried Tears came into my eyes us I gazed upon him, and it was not until I had gained the street and walked some distance that Icould breathe freely. Jobn Anderson! Alas, he was ashamed to be known as his mother's son! That was not his name, but ou shall know him by no other, I will call him by the name that now stands upon the records of the court. Jobn Anderson was my school- mate, aud it was not many years ago, not over 20, that we left our Acade- my together--he to return to the home of wealthy parents--I to sit down to the dignity sanctum of a newspaper office for a few years and then wander across the ocean. I.was gone some four years, and when I returned I found Tohn a married man. His father was dead, and had left John a princely fortune. 'Ah C ,> he said to me, as he met me at the railway station, ¢ You will see what a bird I have caged. My Ellen is a perfect lark, a robin, a very princess of all birds that ever looked beautiful or sang sweetly.' He was enthusiastic but net mis-- taken, for I (ound his wife all that he said, simply omitting the poetry. She was truly one of the most beautiful: And-so good, and so loving and so kind. Aye, she so loved John that she really loved all his friends. Aud what o lucky woman to find such a husband, for John Anderson way as handsome as she. Tall, straight, high-browed, with rich chestnut curls and a face as faultlessly noble and beautiful as ever an artist copied. And he was good too, and kind, gen- erous and true. : I spent a week with them, and I was bappy all the time. John's mother lived with them, as fine an old woman ag ever lived, and making herself constant joy and pride in PORT PERRY y Stables. MACKENZIE.

I did not see John again for four ears, I reached his house late in the evening. He was not at home, but his wife and mother were there to receive me, and two curly headed boys were at play about Ellen's chair. 1 knew at once they were my friend's children.

Three years more passed, during which John Anderson wrote to me at least once a month, and sometimes oftener; but at the end of that time his letiers ceased coming, and I re- ceived no more for two years, when I again tound myself in his native town, It was early in the afternoon when T arrived, and I took dinner in the hotel. I had finished my meal and was lounging in front of the Hotel, when saw a funeral procession winding its way into a distantchurchyard. 1 then asked the laudlord whose funer- al it was. * Mrs, Anderson's,' he said, and as he spoke I noticed a slight drooping of his head, as though it cat him to say 80. f What! I asked. 'No,' said he, 'it is his mother,' and as he said this be turned away; but a gentlemen who stood near, and overheard our conversation, imme- diately took up the theme himself. 'Our host does not seem inclined to converse on that subject," he re- marked, with a shrug of the shoulders. Did you know John Anderson. 'He was my schoolmate in boy- hood, and my bosom friend in youth.' He led me to one side, and then spoke as follows: "Poor John! He was--the-pride of this town six years ago. This maw opened a hotel at that time, and sought custom by giving wine sup- pers. John was present at the most of them--the gayest of the gay, and the most generous of the party. In fact, he paid for nearly every one of them. Then he began togo down hill ever since. At times, true friends have prevailed on him to stop. but his stops were of short duration, A short season of sunshine would gleam upon his home, and then the vight came; more dark and dreary thap before: He said he never would get drunk again, yet he would take a glass with a friend.

Scott Was one of thuse who might claim If in prose that honor which belonged, in great part to Words- worth int verse, of elevatine and puri- fying the aim of poetry, of directing it to nobler objects, and excluding from it, whatever might be. the temptation to pander to more de- praved tastes, whatever tended to ty in which Scott was more remarku- ble still was his power of reviving antiquity. He (Mr. Gladstone) did not know whether he wus right, but his belief was that in that extfaordi- unary power of calling forth from the sepulchre the dry bones of former ages, of cluthing them with sinew and with flesh, enusing them to live and move before our eyes, and us to live and move among them, as if we belonged to' , and they belonged to us--in that particular and very rare power Scoft was unrivalled among all the literary men the world bad ev uced. Scott grew up with iotions; and it that in respeet to bad e that was not 'true; the picture of Mary | bachelor mainly availed to place her, and to exhibit her to the world in the char- acter of a very beautiful, a very clev- er, but at the same time, though we might hope she was purified by the sffliction of her later days,a very bad woman. Scott did not know that; and one was almost glad that, with his affection for the Stewart family in all genévalions of it, he was Shared the puiu of these disclosures. e (Mr. Gladstone) owned that he himselt grew up with something like a woiskip of the Queen of Scots, which was entirely due to the novels of Scott; and undoubtedly the caution ought to be taken by the readers of Scott's works with reference to that one particular instance of character, which he--not knowing, for he was # geuunine lover of the truth--had been led to draw in colots different from the true ones. In considering the Jacobite predictions of Scott, it should be borne in'mind that when he was a boy Séotland was yet full of horrors at the cruelties which had attended the suppression of the rebel- lion of 1745, and that was an example that went to show how cruelty, like ¢very bad and vicious thing,tended to produce a reaction unfavorable to the very purpose it was intended to serve. Mr. Gladstone read several pas- sages from Lockhart's biography of Scott, In conclusion, he said that Sir Walter Scott had left us a double treasure, the memory of himself and the possession of his works, Both of these would endure, The recollec- tion of a character so noble, so sim ple, so generous as his could not pass away. All that was best and high- est in the nge of chivalry was brought down by him into the midst of the age of invention, of criticism, of movement, of increased command over the powers of external nature, and, possibly, of an increasing ser- vility to the wealth and luxury which by the use of . those powers we were enabled to attain, As to bis works, they were immortal. Nothing but the extinction of civilization could possibly extinguish Scott. If we did not now appreciate him as we ought, it was our misfortune, not his. The the newest to the best; but as the calm order of nature was resumed after a storm, su the permanent judg: went of mankind would regain its equilibrium, and would render the honours of poetical and literary achievements where they were due. These remarks had been addressed to a local audience--an audience of neighbors and of friends. They were hasty and familiar, and far Leneath their subject, and would but ilFbear criticism; yet he should not regret having addressed them if what he had said should tend, in one willing mind, to produce a more just, and a more affectionate appreciation of the great Sir Walter Scott. Bishop Coxe. Bishop Coxe, of the Western New York Diocese, in a pastoral letter recently issued, discourses with com- mendable plainness upon the fashion- able follies and extravagances of the day: When I see the tawdry fashions and costly vulgarity, and the wicked extravagances of the times, I feel sure that thousands of American women are strangers to the finer law of refinement--simplicity in manner and attire When I see that thou- sands of American women read the most shameful * romances and the most degrading newspapers, f1equent thie vilest dramatic entertainments,' und join in dances too shocking to be named among Christians, I feel that Christian matrons are becoming too few, and that civilized heathenism is returning to the fields we have wrestled from the 1ndians; When I read daily, of the ungodly divorces, and of crimes against social purity and against human life itself which are too gross to be mentioned more particularly, I fear that too many of our Gountrywomen are without God in the world, and radical reforms are necessary in the system of 'education. on which the young women of Ame- rica are dependent for their training. When I see thousands of household ers in which young girls are reared for a life of pleasure, without refer- ence to duty, 1 cannot wonder at th se results, nor st the misery in which they involve families and com- wuvities. Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. As a Christian bish- op, therefore, I appeal to you, Chris- tian women, and I ask you to begin the reformation, by faithfully bearing your testimony against all that tends to the degradation of your sex; and the more so when such crime is not only winked at, but receives counten- auce iu circles which ought to be exemplary. And naw, if the bishop would fol- low this up by an equally plain re- buke of the vices and extravagances of men--their waste of money for cigars, liquors, etc.--he would do the public a service.

Will you have the goodness to answer candidly a few questions?

When they all refased, the doctor said: d = "Yow must-excuse me, gentlemen, rom embracing your doctrine, until I have better evidence that you be- lieve it yourselves.' This closed the debate, BU MC Use of the Arms in Walking. The first time you ere walking with your arms at liberty, stop mov- ing them and hold them by your side. You will be surprised how soon your companion will leave you behind, although you hurry, twist, wriggle, and try very hard to keep up. One reason for the slow walk among girls is to be found in this practice of Sarrying the arms motion- less, Three miles an hour with the arms still, is as hard work as four miles with the arms free, *° I have seen the queens of the stage walk, I have seen a few girls and women of queeb-like bearing walk in the street and drawing-room. They moved their arms in a free and graceful manner, Could this habit become universal among girls, their chests would enlarge, and their bearing be greatlyjimproved. See that girl walking with both hands in her muff. How she wriggles and twists her shoulders and hips | This is because her arms are pinioned. Give them free swing and ler gait would soon become more graceful. You have seen pictures of our muscles. Those of the upper part of of the body, yoit remember, spread out from the shoulder in all direc- tions, like a fan. Now, if you hold the shoulders still, the muscles will shrink, the whole chest becomes thin and ugly. But some girls will say, ' swinging Xhe arms must be very slight exercise.' Trae, it is very slight, if you swing the arms but once or ten times, but if you swing them ten thousand tim®s, a day, you will obtain more exgreise of the muscles of the chest than Ly all other ordi- nary movements combined. Indeed if I were asked what exercise I thought most effective in developin the chests of American girls, I shoul. reply at once, swinging the arms while walkiog«--Dr, Dio Lewis. sr-------------- Tue Airing Horn.--The alpine horn is an mstrament made of the bark of a cherry tree, and, likea speaking trumpet, is used to cotivey sounds to a great distance. I have heard that when the last rays of the sun gild the summit of the Alps, the sheet who inhabits the highest peak of these mountains tukes his horn and cries with a loud vuice, * Praised be the Lord' As soon as the neighboring shepherds hear him, they leave their huts and repeat these words; The sounds are prolonged many minutes, while the echoes of 'the mountains and grottoes of the rocks repeat the name of God. Ima- gination cannot picture anything more solemn or sublime than such a scene. During the silence that suc- ceeds, the shepherds bend their knees and pray in the open air, then repais to their tuts to rest. | The sunlight gilding the tops of these stupendous mountains upon which the vault of heaven seems to rest, the magnificent 'as the young widow said, ofter ang- ling for two years to catch an old phetds | g from rock to rock the Jrajee of the Alm ear of every traveller with en! m feather to every crack aud you will not be haunted by vermin. In clearing closets first remove everything from them, and bang the clothing out lo air. Sweep, dust and scrub' them well; fill up holes, if there are any, with a mixture of chloride of lime and putty, dust with Persian powder all the ledges, and interstices, and you will be free of roaches, moths and bugs for the sum- mer. In cleaning rooms the same rule applies. Clean well, fill up holes aud crevices, dust powder round the edges, and moths and mice will dis- appear, or take refuge in the cellar, whence a good cat, or a little chlo- ride of lime (used dry) will dislodge them. There is no need for any house to be troubled at all with vermin. The proper means and a little care at the right time will,prevent infinife an- noyance afterward, and much des- traction of property. Remember, soap can never be used upon grained wood; cold tea cleans it best of anything. Never iron lace window curtains, and be careful not to make them blue with indigo. = Stretch them upon a mattress to dry, pinning down care- fully the extreme edge of every point or scollop. In starching clothes, mix raw starch with water and pour . boiling water upon it, bat do not beil the starch.

The rare oacurrence of genius with domestic comfort i8" perfectly awful. Take Dante the exile, who left his wife, never wishing to see her more; take Tasso, wifeless; Petrarch, wife- less; Ariosto, wifeless; Milton, thrice warried, but only once with much comfort; Dryden, wedded, like Ad- dison, to a titleand discord; Young, lived alone until past fifiy; Swift's marriage is no marriage; Sterne's, Churchill's, Byron's, Coleridge's marriages, broken and unhappy.-- Then we have a set of celibates-- Herrick, Cowley, Pope, Thompson, Prior, Grey, Shenstone, Gay, Akeu- side, Goldsmith, Collins, Cowper, aud I know not how many more of our best poets. Johnson had a wife, loved, and soon lost her. Itis almost enough to make women tremble at the idea of allying themselves with genius, or giving birth to it, Take the philosopher--Bacon, like his fa~ mous legal adversary, Coke, seems to have enjoyed little domestic com-- fort, and speaks, for as he says, ' cer- tain grave reasons,' disapprovingly of his partner. Our metaphysicians --Hobbes, Locke ; Bentham, Butler-- are as solitary as Spinosa and Kant. The celibate philosopher, Hume, conducts us to .the other great bachelor historians, Gibbon and Ma~ cauly; as Bishop Butler docs to some of the princes of English divinity-- Hooker cajoled into marrying a shrew, - Chillingworth unmarried, Hammond unmarried, Barrow also single. I only take foremost men; the list might be swelled with mon archs and generals in marziage.-- in Council, I» neyrpptr--=hon Tue Press A CrviLzer.--The hews- papers in a town are its life blood. Without them it cannot prosper. The better they are supported at home the more powerful always will their influence be abroad. In young cities, struggling for municipal sa- premacy, the papers have done more and are doing moreaid in building up the towns in which they are pub- lished, and to increase their business than all the merchants together. To the merchants they are indispensable as thuse who have made use of them as a medium through which tov teach he public, well know. And they Ls contribute largely to the prosperity of every citizen, for their influence is felt in a thousand different ways, and exerted in a thousand-different direc-- tions. ---- Anderson the wizard's wife eloped recently, The injured husband gave out that he had murdered her child and committed suicide, when his faithless wife returned to take hold of his property, 'slie"nfidlicher para~ mour were secured, and $3,000 of the wizard's money re ed, by this, he smartest trick ever perf by im, = ' The_Bridgeport Stahdard relates: the followitfg of Barnum :-~Mr, Bar~ num, upon Bio asked: if he had lost his all by the fire, replied, * No; 1 have not lost my spirits, my appe~ [scenery around, and the voices of the | there fill the | ed for Bas and awe. e ate Ln
