Testing People's Temper. Another consincious way in which cne person differs from another is in tempt r. Seme men are easily provoked, otbers re main cheerful even when affSairs so very con- trary to their liking. We all know speci- mens of gcoianabad ttmpe'e i persons, aud all of ns cculd probably spt cify not a tew appropriate teas ocnditions to try the temper m varions ways, and elicit definite reapnusei. There is no donbt that the ttm per of a dog ean be tested. Many boys do it habitually, and leara to a nicety how much each will pnt up with, without growl- ing cr Ahowing other signs of reaentunent. They do the same to one another, and gnag each other's tempei 8 accurately. It is difficult to speak of teats of character withont thinking of B njamin Frinklin's amusing tale of the "Handsome and the Deformed Leg," and there u no barm in quoting it becanae, however grotesque, it exemplifies the principle of tests. In it he desoribes two sorts of people: those who habitually dwell on the pleasant ouronm- stancee of the moimnt, and those who.h^ no eyes but for tcfae unpleaaing onea. He tells how a philosophical friend took special preoantioiis to avoid those persons who, be- in« discontented themselves, sour the plea- sures of society, offend many people and make themselves everywhere disagreeable. In order to discover a pefsimiat at ^t sisht, he cast about for an instrument. He of conise possessed a thermometer to test heat, and a barometer to tell the air pres- sure, but he had no instrument to test the cbaiacteristio of which we are spsaking. After muoh pondering he hit upon a happy idea. He chanced to have one remarkably handsome leg, and one that by some ao- cident was crooked and deformed, and these he used for tbe purpose. If a stranger re- earded hia ugly leg noro than his handsome one, he doubted him. If he spoke of it and took no notice of the handsome leg, the pailosopher determined to avoid his further acquaintance. Franklin sums up by saying thit every one has not this two legged m- strument, but every one with a little atten- tion may observe the signs of a carping and fault finding disposition.

Here I am, writing to yon from the ob^pel of the Bitb, overlooking BUtimore harbor, with Carberry's hundred isles, chief among whfoh are the large lalands of lonisherkin and Cape Clear. Ihere was torible suffer- ing amon^ tha starving fisherfolk of this large, desolate, and most picturesque dis- trict durinc the yean of the great famine, 1846 and 1847. Thanks to tne intelligent ener^ and priestly devotion of one man, the Kev. Charles Davis, and to the didnter- esterl generosity of one true-hearted woman, theBtronessBirdett-Goutts, the situation is changed. E Mb of the two great islands of Innisherkin and Cape Clear has for resi- dent priest a curate Of Father Davis, so that they nave on each Island Sunday services and a chapf 1 of their onn. Father Dans, when he came to B Utimore, in 1879, found the once flourishing boiroagh town radnced to a few wretched tumbledown houses, tbe only decent and comfortable dwellings being thee of the Protestant restor and his conirera.of YouDgbal, who oooasionally spends the summer here. Tae harbor, from t^e beginning of March till Anipist, in frequent- ed by larga fleets of Sjotih, Manx, and French fishtirmen, «vho have hicherto had the monopoly of the mackerel fishery in these waters. Tae native fishermen, posses- sing only small rowboats, COTTLD NOT VENTTRC FAE OTTTSIDB THE HABBOR, and were thus nnab'.e to take aiy share in the deep-sea fishing. Tuey wi'ro c impelled to look on hdpleasly, year after year, while strangers and loreignera bore offtbe traaaitlles which are by right the posaess on of Irish- men. The herring and such other fish as can be cansht in shallow waters were the only resource they bal. together with the scanty crop of vegetables raised in the rare patches of land, along the shore or in ahel- tered nooks in the ialuids. Even for the privilege of cultivating these patches they had to pay high rants to the owhnrs Of 'the soil. 'S'et they are a noble rboe. these idanden and Biltimoreanay eager to profit by every Opportunity to improve their own social position. It was generally believed and openly as- serted, that the chronic state of abjaet pov erty and hopeless dutituticn prevailing among the populatibna of Skibbsreen and this diattiot waa the Basalt Uf Itah idleness, shiftlessness, and stupidity. Father Divis lias forever and peremptorily mventhe lie to this blind, traditional prejudice. He has often heard it sffirmed dbgmatically that the Irish acennwilling to woik even what remain- nerative work ia offeced^ them, and inpapable of improving even when the utaaost pains are taken to amaliorate their cbnditidn and their methods of labor. To be sur^ the oontrary was evident to alio bservers both in the United States and throughout the Brit- iah colonies. Everywhere the Irish laborer has proved himself to be able to coihpete with the most intelligent and to rival the moat suooeesfuL ^tiU the majority of Eng- liabmen and the dominant proprietory daas in Ireland continued to believe and 10 say that Irisb destitution was the fruit of Irish sloth, thriftleasneas and improvidence. Father Davis's immediate predecessor had applied to the Buroness Burdett-Coutts, but without obtaining any favorable answer. The new pastor, thoroughly acquainted with what this (lady's spontaneous generosity had done for tbe ooatermongen of London, felt sure the daughter of Sir Faancis Bur- dett wonld not dose her ear or steel her heart against an appeal properly made from the neediest district in Ireland. He wrote, inspired by priestly zeal and patriotic ardor. Without delay came an answer bidding him to write again and Uy b afore Lady Bur- dett-Coutto a detailed statement of his people's needs and of the rem9dial measures he jadffed to be most urgent. Ha did so, ana forthwith LidyBardatt-Coucmsent her confidential agent to Baltimore to confer with Father Djivis. For three entire weeks the English Kcntlemen, in every way worthy of the mission intrusted to him, stayed with the priest, verifying every aasertioa uf h •, and verifying ermj one ef the 'e- dies suggested. Upon his reportuiK, £ OJO was at mice deposited at the Bank of b... b- bereen. Thi* was toon aftetward increased to £6.000. No interest was demanded. The fishermen were to receive loans, under the direcaonof Father Davis, and these wan to be FAB) BACK nr TSABLT nrSTALLHIHTd. The new boats with their equipments were thus to beoome the property ot the fisher- men. So, at length, uter many centuries of heartsiokeninff discouragement) the brave men obtained the means of laboring for themselves, and by well-requited labor of lifting themselves up tem poverty and alt its degrading isfluenoes I The men dubbed together, and joyoudy acospted the ocmdi* tions sent them, they believed, by God's merciful providence. How well they have profited by this golden opportunity, the fdlowing facts will tell better than the most ornate narration. The boats are constructed in the Ide of Man, on the best modds, of the very best materials, and ooat, each, from £500 to £820. A Manx crew, in the beginning, brought theae large craft to Ba'timore and taught the inlanders how to manage them. Tney proved themselve to be apt soholan. Irish intellect, enthusiasm, and courage soon made of every schooner's crew aooomplished sdl'jrs and most successful fishermen. They bad now a chance to prove, in their own native waten, that they ooald do batter than Manxaaea, Scotchmen, or Frenchmen, and they proved it speedily and triumphant- ly. In 1879 there were Imt four boats iia this distrios bdonging to native fishermen that were in any' way fit for deep^ea fish- irg. Now there are forty- two boats of 90- toQs and npwsrd, of an asgieasate value rf £20 000. or $100 009. l^e ownoa haye loaned by yearly instaluMnts, and there la in every fiahetmaefa^heai? jn Baltimore and the.idands indcpnidsiHiL eamfnrt, compot- enceâ€"aU tta.bkaaiori ^Welri^ the fruit of labor, whei the to Isr is a good and true map, and when his time aud iprdabor aad huliEgfi^nearararefiikowa, :r lather Davia related to ns oae'tsoldent whioh vividly painti the reviddon of fading wnooght in these gofll3l.*oiul« jhy the anhoped- fir chanoe of bejoming tiw proprietors of snoK large erifk.

"Ah, your revereaoe, do not be Unghing at us; only gix e ns a chance," was the an- swer. "Indeed I will, my brave fellows," the good prii s replied. "I'll get you a boat.

BeeHne of the Inflnenee of the Piesg. It win not be denied that the influenoe pnCe exerted by the public press bas greatiy diminished, and if a reaction does not soon ooour, will become a thing of the past. Way ,thie is true, is plain to all who nave given the subject a thought. It is an utter disregard for the truth, not only in dealing with advertisen^ the real supporters of tbe press, but with readen as well. Partisan journala let nothing pass that they can turn to account agains a rivd, no matter how untrue or unjust. Some wi 1 eay this is to be expected. Ic ought not to be. But a short time affo we saw published in several newspaperis laying claim to high standing in joorndistic circlee, the statement that the editor of a rival journal was born at a time and place he bad said cvar bis own ngnature he wai not, tbe object being not only to cloud his word bat rob him of his birthright, and all this for demagogy. Many newspapers proceed on the assump- tion that their readers are fools, while the oaly reason for such an opinion can be based upon the fact that they are the readen of such characterless newspapers. We might say American politics had much to do with this sad state of affairs, and perhaps they have, but as will be seen by the following extract from a London dis- patch, this decline of the press is not oon- fined alone to the Amer'can press " It is not a long time since the Times occupied a position of so great authority that a publi- cation by it of such as it printed this morn- ing would have thrown tee dty of London into a tumult and the financiail markets of Europe into a fever. To-day's ooonrrenoe mat KB plainly how far the influence of the Timea has waned." As stated, the newspaper that has made this^lgreat decline is none other than the London daily Times, and the matter it pub- lished on this occasion was a sensationd dis- patch about the operations of the French fleet bombarding Cdnese ports. The only object apparent that the TVmes had in view was an increase in the sde of that single edition by a few thousand copies. To ao- oomplish this Qend, throwing the "markete of Europe into a fever " and unsettling busi- netaof all kinds â€" perhaps bankrupting many persons â€" was of smdl acoount. Suoh a per- ndions course shuuld bankrupt the Tmeif management instead. Ita waning power is deserved. In this country many newspapsn try to increase their sales by beastiy obscenity. We have more than one that are simply sewen thronsh which all the vile and loath- some ude of life as brought out in the police conrta are filtered. Even stories n the vileet ohanccer â€" ^storiee that only have an existence in the low and vile minds of the writen, are published. We wish it was posuble to trace to the press dl the wrong It has wrought. We wish we could hddap to the public gaze all the lies and deceptions it has pncdsed, the homes it has wrecked, the young men and women it has led aatray. If we could, it would not be a question of ita decline, for the outmged public would not let it appear at dl. We believe in the freedom ai the press as we do of the man Until after he has committed crime, and then we believe that the same law that pumshes him should be meted out to the jtmuâ€" Agents' fferaid. !i] ' r tt^mmitlM
