Fallen Humanity
Fallen humanity ! How sad the term.
What a dark and fearful picture is rolled
tip in these two worlds! To be human as
human generally are. is bad enough ; hut
to be below that—fallen ! is one of the
saddest conditions in which a mortal can
be placed. How fearful to think that life’s
rosy morn is to an end in night’s raging
tempest; that the fair, innocent babe is to
fill the drunkard's grave ; that the youth
ful will die in a garret from which the last
ray of virtue went out long ago! Fallen
humanity ! The mind draws back from
the contemplation of the scene of degra
dation and woe; the s'out heart grows
faint; the tearless eyes are dim,as prayer
ascend to God.
Fallen humanity"! What a death-knell
this strikes to the heart of many a one !—
’Tis the funeral of hopes and joys now led
with (lie flumes of sin.
’Tis perhaps a mother's only son, a
father’s darling daughter! Oh, how large
are the Potter’s field ! how many victims
has fallen humanity !
‘’Help, help !"’ ring in our ears from
morn till night. Some poor being is per
ishing ; some lamps of hope are going
out. Why stand we idle ? Rescue those
that are sinking—turn back the crowd—
replenish the oil—light the lamps and
raise the sinking one upon fer^a firm a.

on the faco of hundreds every day; 'tis in
the streets, the work-shops—it fills our
bar-rooms, our jails and hospitals. Then,
to the rescue ! Wait not, there is enough
work for us all!

cometh when no man can work.”—[Life

How to be Handsome.—It is perfectly
natural for all women to be handsome, if
they are not so, the fault lies in their birth
or in their training, or in both. We would
therefore respectfully remind mothers that
in Poland a period of childhood is recog
nized. There, girls do not jump from in
fancy to young ladyhood. They are not
sent from the cradle directly to the draw
ing-room, to dress, sit still and look pret
ty. During childhood, which extends
through a period of several years, they are
plainly and loosely dressed, and allowed
to run, romp and play in the open air.—
They take to sunshine as does the flower.
They are not loaded down, girded about
and oppressed every way with countless
frills and superabundant flounces, so as to
be admired for their much clothing, Plain
and simple food, free arid varied exercise,
abundant sunshine and good menial cul
ture, are the secrets of beauty in after life.
— [Ladies’Newspaper.
Miserable People.—Young ladies
with new bonnets on rainy Sundays, and
dresses playing dip, dip, dip, at every step.
This does not apply to those whose pa'
foots the bill, but only to those who have
no pa’ to foot.
A knowledge of words only is but the
“gate” of scholarship.
A witness in a bribery case.
A city sportsman, at the finish of one
day’s shooting.
A printer who publishes a paper for
nothing and finds himself.
A nephew with “a long-nine” in his
chops on a visit to anti-smoking aunt.
A young docter who has just cured his
first patient, and has no prospect of an
other.
A star actress with name in small type
on the bills.
An editor with nothing but cold pota
toes for his Christmas dinner—the gift of
a delinquent subscriber.
