( Mr. Piper bud Been Lis Wtte wiite ber *letter* at tbia desk. The lid was closely 1 shut, locked. This exasperated him,thoughit was hardly a ciroamatauco to be wonder­ ed Rt that a lady should lock tier desk. In 1 Mr. Piper's present temper it aeotued an 1 evidence of gnilt. He tried to wrench open the lid by mnana of its delicate brnsshaod'.oa. and failing in thia, he took out a strong knife which be used for lopping an occasional withered branch in his park or :gardens, and prized the lock. Wthin, all things were neatly arranged. Packets of < dainty notepaper and envelopes, pen-hold­ ers in gold and ivory, tnother-of pearl blot­ting book, pigeon-holes filled with letters. < Mr. Piper emptied the pigeon-holes, aud <ran his eye rapidly over ib'-ir contents. Tbo letters were all undeniably feminine. No, tilers was nothing here from CaptainStandish. But then these old cabinets gen­ erally contain some receptacli-s for guilty secrets, sly nests in which to hatch state ordomestic treason. Mr. Piner seized U» sand al-worn] bead­ ing that framed the pigMu-liolea with bothbis bands, and drew them out bodily, in one piece, like a drawer. Behind them ap­ peared a row of neat little recesses, eachwith ifa inlaid door. ‘ This is where she would keep anything she wanted to hid?,’ thought Mr. Piper, He was not mistaken. In one of therecesses he found same money ’yinx loose —a bank note and half a dozen aovereigne. In another iliere wm a morocco jewel-case,containing an opal.cross aes with diamonds, a trinket which Mr. Piper hod never aesirtill that moment. A third recata waa crammed, with tetters, thia time unmistak­ ably masculine. Bella's bnsband sat down before tbe deskand read these letters one by one carefully-' His commercial instincts cams to bis aid and kept him wondronsly cool. He ar­ranged tbetettera according to tbeir dates, and after reading one folded aud endorsed it neatly before be laid it aside, m if U badbeen a business document. Had be been ’ a lawyer preparing a cose for the divorce ' case he could hardly have been more de-' liberate. [ Tbs first ten or twelve letters w m inno­ cent enough.

A cold white mist roiled the park, :|and crept into tba buuae.

Piper called it when she was angry—during tbs fast seven days.Mr. Piper sat be foie the fire, looking straight into tbs glowing pile of coal and wood, null tbiuking ot the. tetters hs badjnst read. Ilia mind w as^/ull of these that tbs fact or his wife’s prolonged ab­ sence troubled him not at all. It did noteven strike him as strange that she should be so long^way, vThat other wonder, thestrangeness of her Ltreajcliery—ths wonder that any woman could so deceive—absorb­ ed every thought. He tat before tbe fire meditating -thfa great iniquity, and withonly a dreamy aenta that the day had been long and that evening was drawing in.Bo be sot, till be was startled by the sound of whsels upon lbs gravel drive. He went to tlte' door' and looked out throughthe glosn panel. A carriage wm coming slowly up ths drive, foltewed by a man and woman on horseback—Captain Standishaud Mins Porkman. Then came a borasted by a eon pie of men—a black horse— that walked a little lame, and bung hishead dejectedly. Where wm bis wife among all these? Ho opened ths the door aud wont out upon the broad 'stone step*. The carriagecame np at a foot pace. A men got out— little Mr. Namby,lbs village surgoon.He came up ths steps to Mr. Piper.Captain Standish dismaunted and joined them. Even in the antnmn dusk Mr.Piper couldsec that his foe w m ashy pate, and moved by some violent-agitaifan.* Standish triad to speak, but tbe words would not some.• You tell him,* he said to Mr. Namby, and then turned1 bis back upon them bothand leaned against-one of the pillars of the’ portico, with Lis face bidden. • My desr Mr. Piper,’ began the surgeon, tremuloaily, 'soraetbing dreadful has hap­pened.’ • I know it,' answered Piper curtly. • You have seen a great deal of domestictrouble—your poor wife’s long illuesH ; but -yl—I fear this is worse than any thing youhave bad to go through.'• It is,’ said Piper. 'But how-is this?’.asked the surgeon,with a puzzled air. * Has any mesaenger coma on to you ? Lava you heard—' • Have I heard of wbat ?’'The accident in Che hunting field—Mrs. Piper’s fall.’ *0h, she’s had a fall, bn* she?' said Mr.Piper, with a most extraordinary coolness. Mr. Namby thought ho had gene sud­ denly mad.• Yes, a very bnd fall. I fear it may befatal. W’ll you send fur her maid, or some one? We are going to lift her out of the crrriage. Sbe is quite helpless. Bbomustba carried to ber room.* Vanessa Porkman bad alighted from ber horse, and eanie np tbe steps to Mr. Piper.*Oh I’ she cried. ‘ It is .so dreadful—a judgement upon us for going after the bounds without your ku wbdge—-»r pa's.Il wasn’t I who proposed it—indeed it wa« not, dear Mr. Piper; Lut I feel myself guil­ ty for all that. Can yon ever forgive me?’‘Ob. yon’ve been bnniing, have you, my wife and yon ? foolish in her, for eh* was never on a bona till I—I beg pardon—tillCaptain Standish gave bar one,* this in tones loud enough for tbe ear of the captain, who stood clues by. Then Piner went down the steps andsaw his wife lifted out of the carriage and v—w .... -6—, . carried slowly and carefully into tbe house. | m ay bc ^nre-*There were two doctors, Mr. Natnby and I *1 hare been selfish aad ungrateful,* sobbed tDr. Milrayd. from Great Yafford, who bad I Bella. 'bean in the field when Erebus balked him- ‘self at a boll-finch, and rolled into the ditch with bis rider beneath him. Bella's maid Mfad tbe butler both helped. There was notack of aid, but Mr. Pip*r stood an the step* snd saw the little lifatees figure io th* dark green habit carried past him, aud offered no help. He was ou tbe threshold of his door when be Inrned and confronted CaptainStandish. All th* rest had followed 'Bells.TIium two were face to face with each other and alone. ' Wh»t do yon want fa my Iw um ?' be **k*d. .' I should like to stop tin—till the doo- ■ tor* have made their examination; to know’ if things are as bad as tliey seem to think,' ' faltered the captato, thoroughly crest- ’ fallen ; and then, with a sodden burst of ■ passion, be cried, 'Can’t you noderatandk that I feel myself to blame for this ? It ■ was I that put th* nMion of hunting in ’ her bead. £ feel to be her mur-• dorer.' * Yes. I understand perfectly,' answered r. Piper. I've got your I*itore in my grief. He was stnnned, no doubt, poor Ifellow, by tbe sudden eatemity. , { Ebeneser Piper went into the apple-green i bed-room where his wife waa lying—thewife who w m so soon to drift away from ' him down that dark stream which led hs ’ know not whither. The certainty of im> ,ponding death made her sacred, bba w m beyond punishment or upbraiding. One , could scarcely say hard things to the vilest <criminal when bl* hoor of doom was fixed sod the rope round bis neck. The final, ]Irrevocable sentence stultifies all lesser iponaliies. Bella was lying with her face turnedaway from the light, the lovely auburn heir riopling over tbe pillows—that hair whoso luxuriance had been one of her chief ; charms. One little hand lay inert upon the satin coverlet How pretty she w m 1The Mnse of her beauty struck her husband with actual pain. So lovely, so iunocent- lookiag, and so false t' If ahe had lived, I would never have seen her face again,' he thought, 'but nowit doesn't matter.' He sat down in the arm-chair by her bed and waited for her to speak. For Liru- Mlf there was nothing that he could say toher. There was an aching pity for her untimely fata in his heart, co-existent with his burning indignation at her treachery.The fact that she was speedily to die might touch him with compassion, but it couldnot lessen tbe baMnsMofher iugratitude ormake her falsehood pardonable. She moved her head restlessly on thepillow, and gave a sigh of wearineM. * Who's that?* she asked. ‘Your husband,' Mr. Piper answered,quietly. * Can you forgive me for hunting without your permission ?* she said, in a low voice;how often bad that dulcet voice charmed her husband I 'It wm very wrong—very foolish—but you see I have to pay a bigprice for it.' * Is there nothing else you have to ask forgiveness for ?’ be inquired, bitterly. 'Youbad better make a clean slate while yon are about it. Is there nothing else you are sorry for— on your death-bed ?’There was a pause. Almost unawares thehusband took one of those long silken tresses aud turned it between his fingers, the brightsoft hair he hod loved so well* Perhaps I bare not been grateful enoughfor all your kindness,’faltered Bella. 'You , have been very good to me—very generous.Yes, I ought to nave been more gratefnL’* Doyon really think so!’ asked Mr. Pipsr ’ with keenest bittenuaa. * Can v«u reallyfind a speck or flaw in yonr conduct! Don’tyou think you have been a perfect wife! ’ Bella began to cry.* I am sure I have tried to do my duty,' shesaid. ‘ I have tried to make your home pleas- l ant tj yon, aud to improve your position insociety.’* Yes,* answered the husband, with an un­ controllable gust of passion. 'You have. made me acquainted with Captain Standish.'Bella’s qniet weeping changed to hysteried sobbing. Her whole frame was shaken.* Y’ea,' pursued Mr. Piper, 'you have tried' very hard to improve my position in society.You have held me up to scorn and ridicule. • Yon have made me the laughing stock of my. old friends, as the fond,deluded husband—the • middle-aged dupe of a pdr of blue eyes anda roee-bud mouth. While my first wife livedI was a respectable man. You have trade me—what! a door-mat for Captain Standish. ’ ' 1 have done nothing really wicked,' plead­ed Bella. ' I have been foolish, perhaps. Ihave let him pay me compliments— and—ani —that kind of thing ; but I have not brokenone of the commandments. I could kneel inchurch and hear them read without feeling myself a castaway.' ' Don’t cry,’ said Mr* Piner. * There’s nonse in talking about it I have read Captain Standish's tetters to yon.’•Yonhave broken open my desk,’ c.iedBella, fa sudden alarm. * Yea. I have seen his presents, and readhi* letters ; and I ean guess whrt he thoughtof you when he wrote them, and what he meant to be the end of your acquaintance.’‘ He asked mo to run away with him, and Irefused,' protested Bella. ■ That was the fiist time,* said Mr. Piper, coolly. ‘ You refused me tbe tirrt time, youknow. The Captain meant to ask again, youmat, ta* ’ ‘God made yon so, I think,* answered Mr. Piper, exqusingly. * I believe it'a i i thefirrtn. Don't cry, poor thing I If yon hadlived, thore must bare been a bitter reckon­ ing between you and me ; but death squareseverything. If God can fo»give yon, I mustnot stand out He's the largest creditor.’ He took the little cold hand lying looeo up-on the oov«riet,and pressed it gently. It wasnot in hia nature to be unmerciful. And then she wua passing away from him—she wasdrifting out of his jurisdiction. There wasthat awe upon him which Hie hanteet must feel in the presence of death. At that friend­ly pressure Bella gave a sob of relief.■ Ob, if yon can only forgive me, I think I caa die in peace I ’ ahe sanL * It seems hard todie—so young—and just aa life waa so brightBut I hare been very wicked—to others aawell M you. Thera is some one to whom Imust make atonement. Send for Mr Colver- hoc* ' Wouldn't you rather see Mr. Dulcimer fmlrexi Mr. Piper, thinking that the Vicarmight to be a more powerful friend rt this crisis. ‘No, m i Mr. Culverhunse. I can not diefa peace till I have seen him.’ ■ He ahaH be sent Yor thia minute, Belta fool, and she made a foolish use of my indal- ‘genre.. Bee what it ba* L 4 to. Alifethrown i ‘ It’s too dreadful I'said Vanasra, who had ' never before been face to face with th* traa- 'edy of life. I •Howdld.it happen ?’ asked Mr. Piper.‘ You were with her, weren’t you ! ’• Yes, I saw it all. 8he had Mt her heart upon hunting, you know. And CaptainStandish said tbe hone wm a splendid hunter—andaobe seemed, poor foolish thing, tillhe took thrt fatal jump. We went to the meet, and then when the bounds went off. wefollowed them with the rest It w m lovely,the thing I had been longfag for ever since I began to ride. For the first hour or so it waathe easiest thing in the world—riding a little,and waiting about a good deal—and then theyfound the fox, aud there was a rash, and are started rt a splendid pace, BeIla and I sideby side, and Captain Standish rfoM to us.She rode beautifully, and the hors* behavedbeautifully. The captain praised her for her pluck. a She jumped tlireT or four low hedges,and a ditch or two, and did it as eraily m ifshe had been hunting all her life, and thenwe came to a stretch of open country, and the horses flew. We were among the first allthrough, aud Belli was in raptures with herhone—and then—aud then—ths rest seems like a dreadful dream—all dimness and con­fusion—we came into a big ploughed fieldwith a bull finch rt the end. ‘ There’s a gap,"cried somebody ; and I was just riding off with some of the others toward a corner ofthe field, when Captain Standish called toBella very loud, • Don’t try it,’ and in the next minute I saw the black lift himself up forthe jump beautifully, and then his hind feetcaught in the top of the qnickaet hedge, and he rolled over into the next field with Bellaunder him. It wm all done more quicklythan I can tell it' There was a long pause, and then Mr.Pipergave a shuddering sigh.'Did you know she was following the houndswithout her husband's knowledge or consent? *he asked. * I'm afraid I did,’ answered Mi as Porkman,with a contrite air. * But I did not think anyharm would come of it. She rode so well,and the horse wars clever hunter. Captain Stan­dish tried him two or three times. It wmpoor Bella's inexperience ; she went straight at that tall, thick, quickset hedge- an awfulthing—like a wait'* I don’t think it will be a particularly pleasant recollection for you to carry aboutwith you during! the rest of your life, MissPorkman,' said Mr. Piper.*0h, Mr. Piper, surely you can't blame me ! ’ remonstrated Vanessa, tearfully.* I do blame you for aiding and kbetting mywife in disobedience,’ Mr. Piper answered, se­ verely.White thia conversation was taking place inthe conidor, Cyril Culverhouse eat in Mr. Piper's chair by Bella’s pillow, and waitedfor the departiag sinner's confession, readywith wort e sf comfort and exhortation.‘I have been dreadfully wicked,’ she be­ gan, faltcringly, * bat it waa all Mrs. Dulci­mer's fault.’* Mrs. Dulcimer !

He has bad an immense opposition to contend against, but be is a man of extraordinary pluck and persever­ ance. Hedm't take bold of anything to urnke a failure of it. Enough rails, rol­ ling stock, he., have been purchased for the whole line, so we may now count upon the road from Toronto as a certainty. Tax Dundas .Banner is a good Grit pa­ per, but its adttons at present indicate that it would like to fill out of tho ranks, as some tines others of the same ilk have lately done, and join with the Opposition. It goes so far as to clamor for protection for its local manufactures, aud u what is good for the manufactures of Dundas must he good for those of every other town iu Canada, wo can't see bog it can help but come out flat footed for the National Policy and support the party that supports it. Col onel Skinner , we fear, would be al­ most forgotten iu tho contort if we did not occasionally bring bim to memory. His friends appear to study how best to keep him in the background; bis name is scarce­ ly over mentioned in political conversation, and tue party organ is as economical in tbs use of bia name as if it oost something to utter it. The fact is, they don’t u»e the Colonel right at all. If ba is a candidate on whom the patty is unanimous, and who they arc all going to give a hearty support, why don’t they show some of the unan­ imity and come of the heartiness. It cer­ tainly would make the Colonel feel better, if nothing else; and the man must be lone­ some living amongst ao much coolness. How do his friends expect him to fight well without some kind of encouragement?' And the Colonel has none of any kind— neither from friend or foe. Push bim, ye wire-pullerc. We want a good flgbt.

Even our free traders, fho*e men who are advo­ cating the wrong mean* to make this a chcnp country to live in, will tell us on tha platform that they can buy goods in Use United States and lay them down in Can­ ada after paying duties, less than they can get them hern. “ Buy in the cheapest market and sell in the dearest,” they will tell yon, aud advocate the buying of our goods in the States, where tha heavy cus­ tom duties arc imposed, and sail them io Canada, the dearest market, and where fow duties aro imposed. Tax Chronicle is still at it.

Altogether w* have rscrivod no les*than five letters of a similar aatare from thisCanadian fraud; and, whoever he ia, we would distinctly wish him to know that it ianot osr desire to be pestered any more withhis nonsensical effusions" The above is,without doubt,* silly dodge on the part of our contemporary to try and iuflueuoe opinion in favor of its party by attempting to show that some one in the County of Welland baa been writing to a Buffalo paper in order to get that paper to publish au article on protection, which could be used in Canada by tho Conserva­ tives in tneir interest. To be cure if euoh b thing bad been done it might be looked upon ns an underhanded way of doing bus- iness, to say the least. But we don't be­ lieve a word of it. In fact we have good reasons for doubting it. In tho first place, uo one with a grain of cotnmon sense would dare to write such a letter a* indi­ cated above to any respectable newspaper. In the second place, there is no sueh place u Clinton in the County of Welland. And in the third phoe, there ia no such paper published as the Buffalo Herald t Now, we think these three reasons are sufficient w show that snob an incident aa tha above never happened, and that the whole thing bee been concocted by the Chronicle or some other unscrupulous sheet from which it has been copied, for the purpose of in­ juring the Conservative party. Oar friends will require to be on the look out for these kind of performances on the part of the Grits. They are certain to be found out, it i* true, but such dodges must be crushed m soon as the dastardly attempts are made. Remember the wicked dodges used here in former contests, and don't forget that they are prepared to use similar tactics again.

Ex­ perience is considerably belter, wo take it, than mere assertions or theories from what­ ever source they may emanate, and exper­ ience has proved the opposite to be always tba fact. Wherever protection is estab lie li­ ed manufactures are iucreuod, and the striving among the manufacturers to each produce better goods and to sell more than another creates a competition, the result of which is to lower price*. Prices are never too high where competition is strong, and competition is certainly strongest where manufacturer* most congregate, and manufacturers will be moat numerous where they are best protected. Jurt look how protection increased the fadnrtriee of the United Slates. In 1860 they had 1,- 811,000 hands employed in maDufoctorie*, earning 1878,000,000 of vages, and mak­ ing from materials valued al 11,081,000.- 000 articles veined at 11,885,000,000. By 1870 they had 3.223,679 hand* receiving 1800,000,000 wages, and making from II,- 502.000,000 of material* articles valued at >4,232,000,000. During the nine yeara of protection, therefore, inclnding too tba years of the dreadful civil war, they had actually brenghi into employment neariy a million fresh bands I During this time al­ so, the population had inaoaaad eeven millione. Now look how protection •• in- emced prices" in lbs United States. Wo will just compare prices In 184! under the It is often stated by oar Frio Trader* <that if our manufactories were ran in fall . (bro*, wo wonld make many times more • goods than would supply oar country, and ( that we raise more form prodneo than we (need. Tboea may be true nnder present . circumstances. But wo think we can abow •how we could find a home market for all ’ we could produce even were tho present ' facilities greatly increased. No doubt some , people would be snrpriead to loam that we could manufacture st l«a*t >60,000,000 worth of goods more than wo now do and sell the whole among ourselves. Wo im­ port this amount of goods annually that we might jost as well make as not ia Can­ ada, and which without doubt would bo made Lera if tnanafaotores wore protected. In order to manufoctore these extra goods wo would require aud got an increased number of operatives. According to sta­ tistics it wonld require at least 46,000, and as there are a vast number of workmen needed in addition to those who tarn oat tho finished articles, besides their families, it io safe to say that our population would be increased by 460,000 persons who now live in foreign eountriea and are supported by us. Wonld not this population bo a benefit to other classes of our people? Would not all other classes of burin*** be benefited thereby? And this increase of population would still demand a further increase. These 460,000 people wonld re­ quire nearly ono-eigth m?r* farmers alone than we now have to raise food; and thia increase of farmers would demand a fur­ ther increase of operatives, who again would demand a farther increase of farm­ ers, and so en. This ia certainly plain enough to anyone who is willing to sm. But it never will be our fortune to see such a state of things carried out, without w* show a disposition to protect manufactures. All will admit that a horae market is tba best. Those 400,000 people, if living here would give our farmer* a market to the ex­ tent of >28,000,000 per annum, and this is as much or more than the whole amount of tba Dominion exports of form produce.. Therefore, our formers would have a better market for their prodaee tirew they now have, aud our millers would have a belter margin on their flour, Ao., as they wouM sell more at home, where they always make a profit, instead of sending it to for­ eign countries with chances of loss. All other kind* of business would be increased in volume, and tho population still further increased by foreigners coming here and entering into trade. Our country would go on increasing in population, and before many yean Canada would ba dotted with ; prosperous manufacturing towns { and tbo ! manufartarer, the mechanic, tbo farmer, ■ the laborer, the tradesman—every class of : onr people found contented and happy. , Ibis is tha state of things tho supporter* I of tho National Policy sincerely believe will , be seen if the present Government is de­ tested at the polls. This National Policy . is no delusion, as Alexander Mack*nrie . say* it is ; it is not brought forward, as i some ignorant, fooliah-pated Grits love to I insinuate, as election clap-trap. No; it is a question of most vital important* to tba . people of this country, and witbout the , shadow of a doubt, its supporter* are rin- . cere, honest and *arnMt in its datenoo. It . has practice, not theory, to baek it, and it i is to b* hoped that the electors will in vol- . ing on thia question, forget party for the , time being, and join together for the «om- i moo good of our eotumou country. John A. Maodonald’s patriotic policy, and that it will receive such a support at tbs eomiag olectioM M to elect men to put it into force at the earliest possible moment. It to well that this is tha case; it Is well that there are so manv men in the Reform reeks who are willing to sink party and join patriotically with thorn who are seek­ ing to make Canada a nation of import- arce, instead of allowing it to jog along for tho only apparent purpose of keeping a lot o! incapable men in power, who are making their friends all rich at the peo­ ple’s expense. Mr. Stevens says that the Premier has stated publicly, that if the in­ terest* of the country demandad further protection the Grrvsrument were prepared to adopt it. Well, tha people havt been crying for protection, and it has not been adopted. The members of the Govern­ ment have been idling away their time at bun-feeds, and having a good time gtner- ally, and let the cry go unheeded. Mae- kraxle’e promtoei have been so frequently broken that the people now have loot foith in bim. Where are all the promisee he made in hl* political harangnas previous to hto »coe»»ion to power ? How have they been kept ? Echo answers ■’ How 7 ” And does Mr. Stevens think the country is to continually pin its faith to a man who ap­ pears to think so little of breaking hie pro­ mises? We think not. In fort we have every assurance from all part* of the Do­ minion, tnat Grit rule, which is synono- mou* with ruin, is nearly ended, and that an era of proeperity is dose at band.

Dfaa it ever enter into the mind of the ■ himn who complttiab of the borrowing propenaitien of far neighbors that the lenders are themselves in a great meas­ ure responsible for the borrowing! Cer­ tain it fa that borrowers would soon “oease from the land ” if there was no one found to encourage the thriftless habit The habit of borrowing.grows upon one as habits generally do, whether good or bad, and the woman who begins by borrowing an occasional drawing of tea, or a hank of thread, will soon ask yon for your latest magazine, and that before tbe leaves are hardly cut, or your best tablecloth when she has “company,” aacooly as though she thought you must fed it a privilege to lend them. Uer tabledotlu are always “ in the wash” at snch times. She is always forgetting to ■end to tiie store for tea, sugar, starch, aud a dozen other such things, and the reason she forgets is, she knows you have them and will lend them to her. If ber aunt's cousin is going to be mar­ ried and she is going to the wedding, she is sure not to have lime to get ready for ■o grand and particular an occasion, and so you are asked to ransack your boxes and drawers for something that will set off ber old dress and make her a fitting wedding guest She will remind you while you are doing this that her com­ plexion and style of features are peculiar, aud that only certain things—which she mentions,and which she knows you pos- ■ees—will become her. You have been years, it may be, get­ ting the conveniences of housekeeping about yon, and your neighbor who bus tieen too slack or thriftless to do tbe same for herself, uses them She lets her tub fall to pieces in the sun and then does her washing in yours. She runs her can­ dles in your molds, twists her stocking yarn on the wheel your grandmother left you, sifts her punikins through your col­ ander, and grinds her spices in your mill, and you may count yourtfelf fortunate if, when these things are wanted by your­ self, yon do not have to go after them. “ Please, ma’am will you lend ma a lit­ tle snivel Tommy bss cut his thumb.* M Mother would like to borrow a little keroeene, if you have it to spare.” u Pa has famed bis Lack so he can’t work, and ma wants him to read to her; could yon lend him a paper 1 “We want to go visiting this afternoon, and would you please let us take the baby’s carriugef* This is tbe way you are pestered, al­ most daily, if you belong to the great army of lenders and are so fortunate as to live next neighbor to a chronic bor­ rower. You bear it with a meek sub- missiveness that has become habitual with you, until Mra.Slack comes in some day and requests the loan of your switch, ns she is going West on a visit to her dear mother, and her hair—which fa get­ ting thin—“couldn’t have been nearer the color of yours if it had all grown on the one head,” and “ while she is there and thinks of it,shewill take a fine-tooth comb, if you have one handy.” An ominous flush leaps into your face at this, and your neighbor goes home empty-handed, doubtless to call you tbe meanest woman alive,but she comes back next morning for your travelling tag and you lend it, thankful that the woman has a mother out West, and hoping that her visit will be a long one. Now some of these troublesome people will read this article. They will borrow the paper to read it, and so sponge both on the publisher and the subscriber who has paid for it, and unless tbe heading Bhould provoke their ire, as suggesting something “ personal,” they will want to see whether some woman titty know of “catches it” My dear frond, if you are an M itual borrower, this is for you. Don’t you know that the tea you get of your neigh­ bor is better than what you send back? Don’t you know that you don't always return quile os much as you got? And don't yon know, too, that it is posible for the neighbor to get out of tea while she is waiting for you to pay what you owe her? And don’t you sometimes forget to pay it at all? Don’t you know that you burn her brass kettle every time you have it to “ make up your preserves V and that you dull tbe knives of tbe sau- rag&grinder and then fail to sharpen them I Have you never thought what trouble you cause your neighbor when jin oblige ber to send to your bouse for the flat-irons every time she wants to use them? And bas it never occurred to you that you are doing her an injury, not only in the wearing out of tbe various conveniences which her forethought bas provided, but in appropriating to your own service time which belongs to her and to ber family, and to which you have no manner of right? A Mutual Surprise. A Denhnrr grocery firm have taken the agenoy for a hammock. Ona of the arti- <1 a they have hong at the front in the shade of the porch. They hung it there aean affvertfaement, but numoroue people have got into it to zee how it worked. It hung m low they could easily sit in it, andundoubtedly the motion wre agreeable and comfortable. But the grocers didn’t fanoythis performance, eepecially ae the Itatn- n O2k sitters wore not hammock buyers. Saturday afternoon they rumored the loopto one end from the hook, and fastened it by n bit of twine instead. Shortly after aman came in for two quarts of niolttwi.It was put up in bis piil, and a paper tied over tbe top as lie had forgotten to bringa cover. When be passed out be saw the hammock. His curiosity was arons«d at odoj. The grocers were busy inside co be thought he would investicaie on hia own hook. With that keen intuition peculiarto aNaraJSngland mtn, he saw at a clnnee that it was something to get into. He knewit was nothing to wear, and was equally sure it could not be arranged for cooking. .He sat down io it. Then be swung back­ward and lifted bis feet up. Then the twine fastening gave wav. He bad the pailof molawea sitting on bis lap, and there was a dog sitting under the hammock. Neither tbe dog nor tbe molasses expectedanything, anymore than the man himself did. It wna a terrible surprise Io all ofthem. The man and the dog lost their presence of mind and aven the pail lost its bead. The molasses went into his lap,andran down bis legs, and swashed up und?r his vest, and insinuated itself some way inbetween himself and bis cfotlies. And when he went down ha hit the dog with hi« heel on the back, and the dog was sowild with terror and amazement that it sent up a head-splitting yell and fled mad­ ly down tbe street, having first taken theprecaution to bite him on tbe leg, and to rip over a tier of wooden water pails.When the pails went down a lot of hoes were carried with them, and that started a box of garden seeds mounted on a box,andthey in turn brought away a pile of peek measures whose summit was crowned will, a pyramid of canned tomatoes. It wns adreadful shock to tbe man and nearly par­ alyzed him with its magnitude ; but when one article following another enmn avalanebing atop nf him, be thought the evil jue himself had bnr«t loose, and he justscreamed aa loud as ho could. Tbe moles- era was all over him. and the garden seeds bad »lher*d to the molasses, and he look­ed more like a huge glngerbr'ad stuck full of caraways than anything efr». In thia awful condition ha waddled home andswore every step of the way. Too Soon. A« Editor’s Experience with a F<- THE OXFORD TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14, 1878 Fashion Cosslp.
