IEjT1" MABY 8. MacKAE. OVER THE HILL TO THE POOH HOUSE. Whether it was the fine weather or a desire to be informed about the institu tions of the country, whether we were led by love of horses or interest iu mankind, one of the recent happy afternoons found us galloping away to the poor house. ' What short mile's these seven are," said one of our party, as we reined np in front of Mr. Leslie's domain. "Long enough," was the reply, "to make visitors very rare, and to make it out of the question for women to come alone. A good horse and fine weather will shorten the longest mile. Mr. Leslie is anopeu faced, genial man, and the cheerfulness with which he and his wife were greeted, as we made the rounds, 'plainly bespoke the kind treatment which the inmates have received at their bands. The group of little tenements which con stitute the poor house, is built in an oak grove, and contains a newly built' chapel . where the neighboring ministers come now and then fo hold service. Of the seventeen inmates, only three are strong enough to do work on the farm, f l : -.u a. m. c i- - l iiuw wmuu a greai pari 01 lueir support is derived, but the keeping of the rooms (especially among the women) evince, for me most part, a real spirit of cleanliness ana ipnrt, leading one to tbmk that they h . mignt be happily and usefully employed in some light remunerative work. ""V 1 1 n f t m . kju a oroaa oia-iasmonea neartn a smoking coffee-pot and "hoe-cake baking" over ana under toe coals, was quite pic turesque, and the hospitality with which we were received and the pleasure appar- "J ,uauu "lieu, naa icany touching. One flighty Irish woman's room was par ticularly neat, and her hospitality so sug gestive, that we had to take a sudden de parture or choose between her snuff and her wrath. The most pathetic sight (for these wo men, though some are sick and all more or less infirm, seem to enjoy one another's so ciety,) was an old man who lay ill and blind in a room not too well cared for, and seemed too low-spirited even to notice that he was told there were visitors. "It is my great desire," a philanthropic woman who has the matter much at heart said to me recently, "that the poor house be moved nearer town. The county gives food, clothes and shelter to those who are wunout means ot support, ana I have rea son to believe fchat the present superinten dent is kind to them, but the place is prac t lP.fl.llv nil f rF rOO lV rP mnmnn U 1 "J w. vuvu v. tt uujou rv UK W LJIiV among the poor and try to bring higher influences into their lives." f& We taxpayers support this instititution, and it is but right that it be situated where we can give it our personal supervision ; and try to bring it up to our standard of what a poor bouse should be. 1 believe," she continued, "that an industrial- school in its connection would make the poor house self-supporting, and the old men and women who are unable to do farm work would be much happier knit ting or making baskets than moping over their infirmities." "But," argued a friend, "if the poor house were nearer town, would it not be an invitation to those who are simply lazy to impose on the county." "I think the county could protect it self,' was the reply. "The investigation which applicants undergo make imposition an impossibility." Inclination to agree with these views was strengthened by observation, and as we rod away with Mr. Leslie's hearty good bye in pur ears and the sights of the afternoon fresh in our minds, we decided to give the matter farther consideration. The ordering of poor houses and jails is a subject; that is being agitated through out the State by the Board of Public Char ities, whose pfficers, by the way, are un remunerated, and in our county three prominent citizens have been appointed to visit such places and report their condi tion. Our prospective jail is subject for congratulation, and thus encouraged, this committee is quietly at work on the poor house question, hoping for co-operation in this important reform.

Coins in a purse, a bullet buried in a cubic incjujf fat meat, and a bird shot wrapped in many thick nesses of heavy paper were photographed with perfect distinctness. THE CHURCHES TO-MORROW.
