Id by Druggists. ST IM Why A bright looking yonag fellow stood in the middle of a handsome room, holdings large kid ball in one hand, and a substantial bat ia the other. He seemed lost in thought, as glancing first at oae then at the other of the sporting article* in bis bands, asifcquallv attraclive,—he otherwise stood motionless. At length he started up with sudden animation. ‘-Ill do it," he said; -what harm 1 should like to know. I'm about ss much my own matter as I ever shall be; and the other fellows will fall in with the plan fast en ough if once I promise it, 1 know they will.” There was some excuse for Horace Baldwin concerning the unscrupulous resolve just ex- pressed. For it was no less sin ful a resolve than to pro) o e to the “other fellows'' of the Base Ball Club that they should have a game the next Sabbath as long as the fine weather continued. Horace Baldwin waa in morr inde|*mlent circumstances than most of the members of the cluli, having some property be could call bis own. and was naturally looked up tn. Then the others, lie ing obliged *o lie at their work every day in the week, could only find lime to p'ay of evening—when they were pretty well tired out— and on an occasional holiday. The position Mr. Baldwin oc copied in business admitted of hia controlling his time about aa be pleased, but it waa aggrsvat ing, that with his passionate fond ness for his favorite game, there were so few opportunities for in ilulging it with his pel dub. Tears ago, when be waa a mere child, a Christian mother had taught him to “remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.” But father and mother had long since passed away, leaving their child in comfortable circmn or even my good old mother—so now here I am.” Sir. Baldwin felt a decided in dinaiion to edge off, but tbe rep ulsiveman went on: “I never sec a real fine, dean young fellow like you, without feeling like giving him some good advice. You see my language isn't so bad—Oh! I was educated for a gentleman. I was. much as I've deteriorated and I've lieen used in ray day to custom made clothes like your own. I've only- sunk into dilapidation through force of circumstances,—I won't say unavoidable circumstances, oh, no indeed. I'm much loo con scientious a gentleman for that.” The mocking, bantering speech had in it yet a tone of real sad ness. Mr. Baldwin gazed half in dis gust. half in pity, at the ragged, attenuated figure, then asked briefly: “Well, how comes it?’ “Now let me tell you; it may do you real good and it won't harm 1881, my poor old soul if I do go back a i Great British FedenUhm. There is no other government in the world which is so “extend ed” as is that of Great Britain.— The United Kingdom—England an 1 Wales, Scotland and Ireland —covers an area of only one linn tired and twenty one thousand square miles, a little' more than the area of New England and New York, and its population is thir ty-five ami a quarter millions. Its colonies cover almost eight million square miles, and have a combined imputation ot more than two hundred millions. These col onies are on every continent and in almost every- sea. England's oldest colony is that of Newfound land, which was acquired in 15S3; her youngest is th« Island of Cy press. over which she extended sovereignty in 1878. Large as these figures seem, our view of them is somewhat modi fied when we learn that the total population of the Indian Empire, was, according to the census of little. ‘•I begun just as yau are begin Ding.” “How so?' demanded Bui dwin. “I didn't keep the LorJ's day.” “Well, ain't I keeping it?” “You, ain't in church, young man; you are on a stile smoking, while the minister is praying and preaching.” “Do you call that very bad?” “Oh no!tbal'annly the begin oing.” -Well?’ “Pretty soon, you'll take to go ing on excursions of a Sunday, or playing games, may lie." Horace started. “Oh, you need not jump,” said the quick observant tramp. “Then you'll most likely drink a little, and perliape list sonic thing on the game.

The governments of these colo nies arc of three kinds: first, by the crown, that ia, by absolute rule, tbe people having no part in the government. This is the ays- tear for India, and indeed for moat ot the colonies in number. The whole colonial imputation under this species of government is al most two hundred and two mil lions. The next class of government ia that of representative institu tions. The people choose legis latures, anti make laas; but the home government may veto those laws, and it retains full control over all public officers. This is the form of government for Ceylon, the Bahamas, the other colonics, having a total population of a lit tle less than four millions. Finally, there is the system of responsible government, which is allowed toCanada, Newfoundland, the Ca|ie Colony and Australia only, with a combined |sipulation of eight and one half millions. The several provinces which now constitute the Dominion of Canada were formerly independ ent of each other. They were uni ted by an act of Parliament pass- cil in 18G7. The Dominion is sometime* called a federation, or an association of allied States. It is more than that; it is almost a true union. Now there is n strong move- ment in favor of a similar federa lion of all lit* governments of Australia, New Zealand and Tas mania. There are some difficul ties in tbe way of this scheme which no one has yet been able to surmount. Beyond this there is a much larger project. It is proposed to make a toleration of tbe British Empire. The details have been worked out by no statesman aa yet, but tire plan involves a polil Infidels at the Hear *f Death. Voltaire, addressing his physi cian said, ‘-1 am abandoned by boih God and man, I will give you half what I am worth if you will give tue six months lile.”— The doctor replied, “yon cannot live six weeks.” “Then,” saiti Voltaire, * I shall go to hell, anti you will go with me," and soon after he expired. A living skeptic was attended by some skeptical friends, who as the hour of death was approach ing, liegged him not to abandon his skepticism, but as they said, “to hold on to the last! - ’ “Alas!" said the living man, “I would gladly hold ou, but 1 have nothing to hold on to,” and was soon si lent in death.

One may safe ly say that during the long rainy season, from May to Ilia middle cf December, fully half the time originally calculated on by De Lcsscps is lost, owing to the rains, small floods, and the stub born fact that, while the company claimed to have 16,000 in its em ploy at the close of the dry sca- ! son, only 7.000 are working.

I hare done the same thing over anil over again with the same result. Dogs, in my opinion, think—in a crude way. They see a man such as I, walking along, say with a plug bat on his head, and so forth. To him I present a com plete picture, just as a tlog witli flapping ears, swishing tail, and four legs, presents one equally complete. Now, mark! The four- footed picture cannot, so to speak, disintegrate. No dog ever saw another dog take off his tail, or lay down its ears, or throw away one of its hind legs. This human apparition suddenly begins to take himself to pieces. He lifts off its hat. The dog doesn't know what is coining next, perhaps. He begins to think. lie meets witb a power which is beyond his com prehension, and he snecumbs. “Blind yon, this is only my the ory, but I hare tried it on several times, and I always found it to succeed.”—Baltimore Methodist.
