During this little speech of my mother, my passion had entirely subsided.

This was really pouring oil op the troubled waters. Her allusion to the rag-bag and Santa Claus and the idea that St. Nicholas would exchange toys for rag had restored my usual civility, affection and love, and bound me to my mother with new ties stronger than links of iron, llow often will tenderness and kindness soften the obdurate heart, and beget ali'ection, obedience, inspiration and hope After a short interval, my mother added Jane, I know better than you the value of rags. I hope you will hereafter do cheerfully as I desire. I shall require no hardship of my child." This was enough.

I saw then for the first time in my life the necessity and the duty of obedience. After this, it was suf ficient for me to know, my mother says so, and I was always ready to do her bidding, even if she required some self-denial or a sacrifice. Hereafter, I am sure, I shall never seek any reason for the performance of any act after I know that it is the desire of my mother." This lesson of obedience will be as lasting as- my life; and having learned obedient, I find at home new charms and stronger affections at school my teacher is kind and pleasant, and my associates seem lovelier than ever before. And all this conies of my mother's rag-bag and my learning to obey. I am sure, if ever I become a housewife and the mother of children, I shall keep a rag bag in the garret.

MY MOTHER'S RAG BAG. A Story "Written for the Standard. BY JAKE. My mother has a rag-bag. And what is a rag-bag?" you ask.

My answer is plain, and simple as plain. It is this A rag-bag is a bag to hold rags. My mother keeps her rag-bag hanging in the garret, and whenever she has any scraps of calico, or rags, or bits of cloth of any kind, or old newspapers, or worn-out books, she gathers them up, and handing them to me, says: "Jane, go and put these in the rag-bag." I had done such service as this an hundred or more times, till the rag-bag was getting full of trash," as I called it aiid the rag-bag, I knew the way to it, and could lind it even in the dark. One day my mother had sent me to the rag-bag three or four limes, and getting tired of my frequent visits to the garret, a place I did not like any the best, I assure you, on account of the darkness and the very strange noises I had sometimes heard there, I asked my mother somewhat impatiently Mother, hat in the world are you going to do with those old rags good for nothing and dirty old rags?" And, I added, I wish the rag-bag But I was stopped short in the middle of an uulady like exclamation with, What in the twitter, June My mother had always taken a pride in my ladyship, and she was much surprised to see me so out of patience ou account of a few rags. She had often told me that a lady -would be as careful of her speech as of her actions that a proper civility in the use of words was quite as important to a lady as proper decorum in her behavior.

What is the matter, Jane 1" My mother spoke excitedly and authoritatively on this occasion. I was not just then in a tit mood of mind to remember the frequent lessons in civility, the proper rise of my tongue and my general deportment, lessons which my ever kind mother had taken much pains to teach me. What is the matter, Jane To this inquiry or demand of my mother I replied quite abruptly: "Well, I don't care. I just think 1 saw a ghost to-day in the garret. Then I should like to know what you are going to do with the old ragbag and all the trash it contains." At this my mother bade me come and be seated in my little chair by her side.

At first my chair felt uneasy like or in some way out o' sorts," or else something unusual must have been the matter with me. How often do we blame others or attribute the cause of our miseries to something not in the least connected with them, when the fault and the mischief is all our own After some time, my mother said in a kind voice Jane, your teacher at school tells me that you need a new geography numl)er three I Besides, Christmas is at hand, and you know that you expect many fine things of Santa Claus." And has all this anything to do with the rag bag, mother Listen, Jane." Yes I did not mean to interrupt you. What about Santa Claus Once a year I have sold the contents, which you call No, mother, rags Well, as you say, the contents of the old rag-bag that no omc can find them. The force of an advertisement published under the head of "Wants or Wanted," all understand. System is valuable in everything.

The numbers over the doors or on the windows of business houses, enable a stranger to find any The firm name or store sign of Jones Smith gives no idea of where their place of business may be, but the street and numlier is a sure guide- hoard or finger, pointing to the house of Jones Smith," in intelligible language. This is a definite thing-p" 99, Broadway, New York." So an advertisement in its proper place is a definite thing. We give also a list of our advertisers in a separate column. This list is alphabetically arranged, in reference to the names of business. This feature will add something to the value of advertisements, and serve as a key or index to each number of the paper.

With system, too, in our circulation, we hope to give our advertising patrons full consideration for their money, dollar for dollar, with a per cent, of profit in their favor. Population of St. JosKFn, by a new Method ok Census Taki.no. St. Joseph has 80 retail grocery establishments.

Messrs. Armstrong 93 Edmond street, supply.2,000 people with sugar, tea, crackers, butter, cheese, flour, fruits, in great variety and all choice in quality. Two thousand multiplied by 8(1, gives a product of 172,000, the supposed number of bur inhabitants. Figures never lie, and there is no mistake in our calculation. The children at school find the same result in this way "If one grocer supply 2,000 people, 8( grocers will supply 80 times 2,000 people, which are 172,000 people." Armstrong Bro.j know how it is, and they can explain.
