POLLY'S RELIGION.
Life tu the I K-miuiiiir ;is like a Kinr

The girls oiuiletl. Tliey were fon-1 of
Joe ami reinly to weUtdne his wife.
" But I hojie she is ready to tike a lead

he hail gone. "Joe will some Iay fill
Cither's place, and his dtx-rijitioii of her
does not give me the idea of an energet
ically religious woman."
" We'll hoj)e for the lest," suid lsaljel
la. She was very htisy making an imita
tion stained glass window forthe Sunday
srlnw.Vri'oiii and as anxious to finish it
before Mary arrived.
" I'ln-Ie Ik-n must be kej-t in his own
room when she comes, and Tom can- lie
sent to the country for a month's visit,"
Grace said, her check hushing (aainfully.
For there were two sk-lcton in the
iH-mming houst-hoUl. Tlie squire's
brother Ben, who was a paralytic old sol
dier and a most cross graineil, profane
old fellow, occupied one wing of the
mansion.
He had a man to nurse and read to Kim
for his oaths were intolerable to his
nieces. Tom was their brother younger
thanJi"?. Tom Ih-mming had disappear
ed for three years after he had left col
lcire and came tiack a haggard, dissipated
loafer.
Noliody in Ball's Ferry knew mhat lie
had done in that gay time, but was cer
tain that he was under a ban a marked
man. The family treated him with
gloomy patience. They had taken up
their cnis and borne it, but it was heavy.
Tom was never seen by visitors at the ta
ble or iu the parlor. At dusk he would
skulk out to join some of his comrades at
tlie village grop shojis, and occasionally,
but not often, was brought home brutally
int. .ideated.
Joe's wife disapaintel them all. She
was a plump, merry little girl, nothtng
more. "A very pleasant little heathen!"
sighed tiratv, after tvo days had passe!.
" I named some of the best books on
religious fiction, but she never heard of
our foreign missions."
Good Mrs. iKiiiming was uneasy at this
and fliat very evening turned the conver
sation on d'a triual subjects. Polly grew
red.
" I am afraid," she said, " I am not
clear in my ideas concerning tlicse dilti
cull points. The tmth is, after mother's
death I had charge of my four 1. rut hers,
ami I had so little time."
- You will have more time now " said
.... ..,.",
IsaiM-ila. l win marx out a course ol
doctrinal reading for you."
But Man- made slow progress with her
course of reading. As time passed and
she settled down into her place in the
household she proved to lie a very busy
little woman. She had a positive talent
for finding work ; took herjiart iu the
family mending, tossed up dainty little
deserts, anil helped Jir with hi, ac
connu. When Joe had gone to hisotfiee
she took tremendous walks, advised
Mother Ik-mming about her family work
or copied the 'Sipiire's papers for him.
" What a clerky hand you riU; ! " said
(jrace one day. " I oflen wLh mine were
not so delicate when father worries so
over these paja-rs. But as for mother's
embroidery, women of her age ought to
give up that uselest) work when their
eyes are failing."
" It doesn't seem useless to me," said
Polly gently. "She thinks you all value
it."
w Where can Mary go on these inter
minable walks?" said Isaliella oneuiorn
tug to her father. You idioiild warn
her about Black Ijtne. See might wan
der into it and bring home typhoid fever."
" You ought to report that . lane as a
nuisance, father," said his wife. "It in a
ja-rjU'tual sink of filth and vice."
" It is a disgrace to Ball's Ferry that
such wretches can find harbor in it!"
added Isabella. "They ought to be
driven beyond the borough limits ! "
t "Well, well, my dear! it doesn't do to
ynt too energetic,'' said the Istjuire.
They never had a chance."
He was roused, however, to mention
Black Lane at a meeting of the town bur-"
gesaes that day. -
"Something ought to be done or we
will have typhus among us," he said.
" Something has beeu done," said Judge
Paule. "I i2Uiie through the laue this
ntom.ng and hardly knew it. There has
been a general draining and cleaning, the
cabins are whitewashed, the women

some of them had actually washed their
fitcea."
" What has . happened?" asked the
Is-pure,
" I heard the sound of children's voices
singing in one of the cabins and tlie men
told me it was 'Miss Mary's class,' Some
gisal woman lias been at work, I suspect."
" Miss Mary ?" the Squire's face grew
red, his eyes Hushed, but he said nothing
more."
living home he met Polly coming to
meet him. He looked at her with the
eve of a judge. "A re you the good Sa
maritan? Have you been in Black Lane,
my dear?"
She blushed, laughed and stammered.
" Oh, that was the most natural thing
in the world, father. You know I was
brought up among colored people ; I know
how to manage them. It was only a
ditch out here and there, a few panes of
glass, and bushels of lime. They are
good, affectionate creatures, and so anx
ious to learn."
Tlie matter was driven out of the
'Squire's mind before he reached the
house, for he sat Tom skulking around
the stable door. He had returned that
lay, and a dull weight of misery fell at
the sight on his father's heart. Tom did
not enter the house until Lite in the even
ing, when the family were gathered
aliout the lawn, He came into the room
with a swagger, unshaven, his bouts
reeking of the stable.
" On purpose to mortify us," thought
Grace, bitterly. '
"Icatueto see J.a?'s fine lady wife,"
he said in a loud voice. "Unless he's
ashamed to introduce his scapegrace
brother."
"Mary is not here," said Mother Ieui
tuing. " Where is she (irace?"
"In Uncle Ben's room. She reals the
New York papers to him every day now.
They play liackgaiumon togethei and
they have one of those silly books of Ar
tetuus Ward's. I heard him laughing
anl swearing harder, than ever, so he
must be pleased. I wonder how she can
stand it?"
" It is hard to understand her," said
Isalielia, dryly. " Mary is not so careful
of her associations' as she should be."
Tom has been listening very eagerly.
" Enough said," he broke out with a
thump of his fist on the table. " If Joe's
wife can take thought of that lonely old
man up there, there's better stuff in her
than I expected. I'll go up and make
her aitpiaintance."
For several days afterwards Tom's
voice was heard joining in the jokes and
laughter that came out of Uncle Ben's
room.
" Mary seems to have enchanted them
both," said tiraee. "Toui is clean and
shaved to-day, and looks Jike a human
being."
Perhaps she treats hint like a human
being," said Joe.
" But even he was sfartled when Mary
came down that evening dressed for a
walk, and nodding brightly to Tom, ask
ed him to go with her. " Finish my
book, Joe. Brother Tom will be my es
cort." Tom followed her slouching to the gate.
He stopd there. Shame, defiance, mis
ery, looked out of his eyes, "See here.
Mrs. iH'innting! I reckon you wouldn't
have asked me to go with vou?"
Polly's steady, tender eyes met his.
"Yes, I know."
" l'ye know I'm a thief? I was in jail
in Iittjburgb. for a year."
Polly drew her breath hard. A prayer
to God for help went up front her heart
in that second of time. She held out
both hands.
" Yes, Joe told me. But this is all over
now all, all over. You have begun new
again, brother Tom ; come!"
She put her hand on his arm as they
walked down the street. He did not
speak to her until they came la k. "Ill
never forget this of you, Mary, never!"
A month later the 'Spiire said to his
wife: "lid you know Mary was going
over her mathematics with Tom ? Regu
larly coaching him. This little girl has
the clearest head for figuring I ever knew.
But what can be her object
Mrs. Deniming cleared her voice befi.re
she could speak. "She has applied to
some of her friendg in Kentucky to give
Tom a situation. Father, I think there
may be a chance for the boy. He wants
to begin life over again among strangers."
" God help him," muttered the 'Sjuire.
He surprised Polly when he niet her
the next time by taking her in his anus
and kissing her, with the tears in his
eyes.
In the spring Tom went to Kentucky
and began his new life. He has not bro
ken down in it yet.
It was in the spring, too, that Uncle
Ken liegau to fail. 1 he old man was so
fond of Polly that she gave np most of
her time to him, so much, indeed, that
Joe complained.
" Don't say a word, dear," she said.
"He has such a little w hile to stay. I-t-t
me do what I can."
" I say, Polly was that the Bible you
were reading to hint to-tlay ?"
" Yes, he asks for it often."
Joe began to whistle and .clinked it
dow n into a sigh. Uncle Ben hud lieen
such a godless reprobate in his youth
that it had never ocrnrred to arty of tlie
I lemmings that there was a way to reach
his ftsil. He lived until late in the sum
mer. The Sunday before he died he
sent. for Mr. Floyd and talked to him for
a long time. '
When the young minister came out of
the dying man's room he was pale and
there were tears in his eyes.
" I will give him the sacrament to-morrow,"
he said to "Squire iH-mniing.
You thing he is worthy of it ?"
" If sincere repentance can make any of
us worthy, he is. He asked that ' Little
Polly' should take it with him. 'She
has done this for me,' he said " it's her
work."
The girls overheard tlie conversation.
They sat gravely silent after the minister
was gone. ,

While playing billiards and carls seem
to be your principal gambling media, we
used to have cis;k-fighting as a chief
agent of accomplishing our gambling de
sires. Tlie dancing schools are made almost
exclusively for girls, except those men
who intend to acquire the dancing art for
their profession. I have seen in your
lancing-schools little boys of 10 or 1.1
years practicing proudly some waltz with
the teacher, a sight chich would not fail
to surprise my eyes.
While our house is so built as to have
the top part of the building heavier than
its lower portion, thus making it able to
receive equally slnx-ks from the frequent
earthquakes w hich haunt the country so
often, your houses have the heaviest part
near the fotinilation.
We do not wear gloves at parties, con
certs, bails, or at weddings, considering
it impolite to do so, but you seem to re
gard it to lie in accord with ceremony to
wear the article on those occasions. Not
only that, but you carry gloves lioth in
winter and summer when you go out
most of your genteel class of people. In
our case, if young men wear gloves w hen
they go out, even on very cold days in
our northern climes, some of w hich an
as cold as some of your Canadian w in
ters, they are called "feminine." Even
ladies do not take gloves with them when
they go out, except on very cold ilays.
They never carry them in summer, al
though they are very careful otherwise
to keep then- face and hands as white as
NissibIe. But there is a class among our
poor women who go from house to house
on New Year's day or other holidays,
playing on the guitar. They wrap their
hands, which are constantly exposed to
the sun. with white cloth resembling
somewhat your w hite kid gloves, used in
ball-rooms. Among our male society
who always wear gloves there are men
who sit on the public highway as the re
pairer of shoes, and aLo our firemen,
who wear thick cott n gloves when they
go to fires. These three persons are
nearly the only persons at home who
would not go out without gloves. Gloves
are to them, therefore, as necessary an
article as a simple ring is to your married
persons. I never used to wear any kind
of gloves, either in my summer travels
or in the midst of our coldest w inters,
w hich are so cold in some places as to
make most people wear very thick mit
tens. While you seem to like to ride ou
horseback, keeping your body straight or

riding is to stoop a little forward. While

riders, we ride in a line.
Our stockings are divided at the ends
into two portions, the one forthe large

somewhat resembling in shape your mit

Diphtheria.
IHphtheria ia a terrible disease, aud
when it breaks out in a school, or in a
family where there are several children,
unless the very best precautions are ob
served it is likely to spread, for it is a
disease that may be communicated from
one person to another. It is contagious, j
Regarding the different measures em

In either case, whether any of the chil
dren are removed front the house or not,
every room, including the one occupied
by the (latieiit, should be fumigated w ith
sulphur two or three times daily.
The most convenient method of fumi
gating is to dnp a pinch of sulphur un
a hot stove, if there is one in the room;
if there be no stove in the room, a few
coals on a shovel or other convenient
utensil may be carried into the room, and
the sulphur may be dropped on the
coals. A little experience will siaiti en
able any one to determine how much
sulphur to burn in each room. It is not
necessary to fill the nuu so full of these
sulphur fumes as to suffatite us. and if

Other disinfectants may be employed,
but ther sulphur fumes will permeate
every crevice in the house; they are
breathed by us, our clothes are saturated
with them, and, withal, we regard this
as the most practical and effectual meth
od of disinfection against the spread of
diphtheria that can be adopted. And
w here diphtheria., prevails in a neigh lxr
hood, and families fear its outbreak
among their children, they should resort
sulphur fumigation ilaily, whether diph
theria has appeared in the house or not;
this may prevent its outbreak in families
that might otherw ise suffer from it. At
least this n-ecaution does not cost much,
and ran do no harm. These sulphur
fumes will do us no injury.
A Cape Breton Parson.
He was a tall, angular parson of the
severe Presbyterian type. As the kajal
idiom has it, " You would know by his
English that he h:id the Gaelic," He
was preaching in a brother parson's pul
pit to a congregation who were strangers
to him. IVs.nnting on the Iamb as a

said :

was the wonder and envy of all like

S. S. Burdett. at the National Encamp- 1

lie at San Francisco : j
"The year has lieen singular for its j
closing of great accounts. Of tlie com- :
landers of the match le Army of the
Potomac all are now gone. It is yet a !
great hMt. It is a host on either side of

leaders are all beyond. Last of ail to '.
sheathe his sword at the call of the " All '

Their Methods of Training.
Ever since athletic sports have la-en
followed people have put themselves ou
record through mis-stateinents about
prize fighters and their meth.als of train
ings how this or tliat man's death was
caused by overtraining or too rapid a
preparation f..r any special feat. No
question lias brought to light so much
gnw ignorance as this one. It is not
overtraining that causes the trouble, but
insufficient work, or total negligence of
training. The writer's experience ilates
back to the time when drenching and
limny hours of fatiguing work were the
rule, and, even with all their emus, the
trainers of a quarter of a ivntury ago got
their men into lietter condition than the
latter day trainers do.
The modern trainers go to the other
extreme, as they sinnely work their
charges at all, preferring by have their
men big and stnmg rather than thin and
ovenlrawn. Some liave struck the hap
py medium, and they invariably present
their men in good trim. This is gener
ally accomplished by slow and careful
work, which, while not being showy, is
none the leri thonnigh. One of the
most radical errrors modern trainers
plunge into is the rushing system. They
get hold of a strapping young fellow, who
is high in fle-di, and think that l.y the
driving pnat-r. they can get him lit in a
fortnight. They generally do sinveed in
getting him down to the last stage of
sparseliess of flesh, but the athlete's
strength has also passed away with su
perthious tissue.
The man looks we'd to the eye, but he
Is very much like a cardisaud house

an athlete has stepped into the an na
looking fit to contend for a kingdom,
w bile in reality he was less able to stand
as much punishment or straining as his
antagonist, who was fat and had done no
work at all. Of course, there are men
who can reduce very rapidly and retain
a certain amount of physii-al strength
and vitality. Yet even these find con
stant and speedy training spells take all
the steel out of them, and each succeed
ing spell of preparation finds them lerat
in. lined than ever to jump out and take
their gruel with that zest which shows
that an athlete has lost none of his o. I
power.
Such method as these have mined
more men than anything else, for a nry
man w ill do more harm in a week than
can I- undone in a month. No one,
only those who have undergone a severe
athletic preparation, knows what is en
dured .luring the tirt week or so of train
ing. The removal of the Imw .t,
esi-cially that which 1 inside, seems to
engender an all-devouring thirst, and
the first thing an athlete does is to resort
to liquid.. If he lie a pmfi-ssional it is
ten to one he will crave for something
stmnger than water. Here is when- the
s-!f-denial comes in, for sh.-uld he give
way all the g.al work done by exen-ir
will be undone in a very few minutes.
