Professor Blackie in n recent lecture said : —“ A woman is as different from a man as a flower from a tree ; she has more beauty and fragrance, but less strength. She will be fitted for the rough and thorny work of the masculine professions when she has got a rough beard, a brazen front, and hard skin, but not sooner.” A friend 'travelling in America writes to us : (Glppsland Mercury ), and, after describing the comforts of Pullman’s sleeping ears, he says.: —-“There is one tiling against them, you can hear the other pas- : schgcrs talking. In the car I travelled in there was a new married couple, audit appears they had a tiff, and the husband, not wishing to go to sleep until he had made friends with his wife, begged of her to kiss him ; she was obstinate and would not, and all the rest of the passengers were kept awake by hearing the poor fellow imploring his Alice to forgive him witli a kiss. It was a continuation of ‘ Alice, do •kiss me ; oh, Alice dear, do kiss me.’ It was fun for a time, but we got tired of being kept awake, so an old military officer put his head through the curtain and sang out lustily, ‘ For goodness sake, Alice, do kiss your husband, and let’s go to sleep.’ We got to sleep after that.” ■ " The missionary elders from Salt Lake City, Utah, are now working their waj' in the; Canterbury Province, holding meetings, at various places! They advertise that at such meetings “ the Gospel as taught by Jesus ■ and his Apostles, will be promulgated.—(See Galatians chap. 1, 8 verse.) No; Collections ! ”
