the small boy on his ‘‘publie spirit” he proceeds to insult the ladies in a most un- warrantable manrer. He accuses them of being greatly deficient in ‘‘public spirit,” of ‘Shaving but an intermittent regard for honesty,” and is astonished that they did not carry off ‘‘surreptitious nosegays.”’ | The latter fact leads ‘‘Steeple” to indulge |in the supposition that ** the principles of Christian morality can obtain some slight foothold in the feminine breast after all.” Poor ‘* Steeple!’ Yours must be cer- tainly a hard lot! Whata vendetta you cherish against this community— particular- ly the female portion. Can it be possible that at some period in your existence you endeavored to obtain ‘‘some slight foothold in the feminine breast’ of one of our young ladies, and she—being an admirer of the beautiful in nature as well as in art—re- jected you? If such is unfortunately the case, you should accept defeat gracefully, aud not black-bail the whole com- munity, because one member thereof has offended you. I would strongly advise you to study up ‘‘the principles of Christian morality’ and—try again. Lacking in public spirit, indeed! What would become of our churches, hospitals and such like mstitutious,were it not for the interest taken therein by the ladies? Who | has not, at one time or another, had his pockets more or less lightened by the ‘‘public spirit’ manifested by the ladies in such affairs as these? How would the poor manage to keep body and soul together were they depending upon the ‘‘Christian morality” of men of the ‘Steeple Cleydon” stamp. But perhaps all this is‘not public spirit as Ae understands yt Since his return to the Island “Steeple” has also noticed a marked improvement in the accent of some of its inhabitants ; but there is, he says, and 1 quite agree with him, stil! room for improvement. The way in which some people pronounce the ‘simplest words in the English language is, }to say the leasi, very painful to persons | who are compelled to listen tothem. Their ‘faces are distorted in proportion to the \Jength of the sentence.
