To the Old Year, APrAsS Kighteen cighty-three, We say “Farewell,” to thee,
Some with heart-throbs of sorrow, But some rejoice to think, That we're standing on the brink, Of a giad New Year, to-morrow.
“Oh ! Year of fire and dood, Of fomine, death and bleod,”
The pessimists say, and sigh, “‘O! Year of joy and peace, Of wonderful increase,”
The optimists savile with lip and eye.
Old Year thy lasthours pass, The sands in Time's hovr-glass, Are ruanivg yery lew Let all thy good things be, . But carry thy wrongs with thee, To thy grave ‘neath the drifted snow. Joun.

Flour (Superior Extra, Strong Bakers’ and Patent) she bit hor lip (it was broad daylight now), \and prepared quietly to discourage this ex- cessive assiduity. He came up to her pant- \ing a little, and, taking off his hat, said with marked respect : ‘I beg your pardon, Miss Rolleston, but ’ ITknow you hate reptiles ; now, there are 'a few snakes in that long grass; not poison- ous ones.’ ‘Snakes |’ cried Helen; ‘let me go home; there—I’)l go without breakfast.’ ‘Oh! I hope not,’ said Hazel, ruefully;
‘why, I have been rather fortunate this
morning, and it is all ready.’ Ny RF ‘That is a different thing,’ said Helen, ; graciously, ‘500 must not have your trouble
for nothing, I suppose.
Directly after breakfast Hazel took his axe and some rope from the boat, and went off in a yreat hurry to the jungle. In half an hour or 80 he returned, dragging a large conica! shrub, armed with spikes for leaves, incredibly dense and prickly.
‘There,’ said he, ‘there’s a vegetable

end,” he said; ‘I went to work like a fool. I should have bugun by making a cart.’
‘But you can’t do that,’ said Helen, soothingly; ‘no gentleman can make a cart.
‘Oh! surely auybody can make a cart, by a little thinking,’ said he.
‘I wish,’ said Helen, listlessly, ‘you would think of something for me to do; I begin to be ashamed of not helping.’
, “Hom! you can plait?
| *Yes, as far as seven strands,”
| “Phen you nied be unempl-yed We want ropes, and ehall want large mets for the rainy Weather.’
, oHe went to the place where he had warped her of snakes, and cut a great bundle of Jong, silky gross, surprisingly though, yet neither harsh por juicy ; he brought it to her, and he should be very glad of a hundred yards of light cord, three ply and five ply.
| She was charmed with the grass, and the | very next morning she came to breakfast | ite it, nicely prepared, and a good deal of cord made and hanging round her neck. | She found sonie preparations for carpenter's work lying about.
‘Is that log for the cart?’ said she.
‘Yes, it is a section of a sago tree.’
‘What, our sago!’
‘The basis. See, in the centre itt is al) soft pith.’ He got from the boat one of the augers that had scuttled the ‘Proserpine,’ and soon turned the pith’ out. ‘They pound that pith in water, and run it through linen; then set the water in the sun to evaporate. The sediment is the sagu of commerce, and sad, insipid stuft it is.’
‘Oh! please don’t call anything names one has eaten in England,’ said Helen, sor- rowfully,
After a hasty meal, she and Mr. Hazel worked for a wager. Her taper fingers went hike the wind, and though she watched him, and asked questions, she never stopped plaiting. Mr. Hazel was no car- poster he was merely Brains spurred by Necessity. He went to work and sawed off four short dises of the sago-log.
‘Now, what are these, pray! asked Helen. ‘The wheels; primeval wheels. And here
are the linchpins, made of hardwocd; I wattled them at odd times.’
He then produced two young lime trees he had rooted up that morning, and sawed them into poles ina minute Then he bored two holes in each pole, about four inches from either extremity, and fitted his linch- pins; then he drew out his linechpine, passed each pole first through one disc and then through another, and fastened his linchpine. Then he ran to the boat, and }eame back with the stern and midship thwarts, tight to the horizontal poles, leav- ing the discs room to play easily between the thwarts and the linchpins; but there Was an open space thirteen inches broad between the twarts; this space Hazel herr- ing-bound over with some of Helen’s rope, drawn as tight as pussible. The cart was now made. Time cccupied in i's produe- tion, three hours and forty minutes.
The coachmaker was very hot; and Heleu asked him timidly, whether he had not better rest and «at!
‘No time for that,’ said he. ‘The day is not half long enough for what I have yet to do.’
(To be continued.)
A most eccentric funeral ceremony took place recently in Paris. A speculator, M. Pengnilly, died a few days previously. He was well known in the journalistic world, having shares in most of the successful Paris papers, He left directions that the hearse containing his mortal corpse should be preceded by an Italian playing, or rather ‘grinding,’ on his organ some of the most lively and popular cafe concert airs. He also left a list of sixty well known writers, begging them to partake of a banquet at the Hotel Continental on the day of the funeral], and to be as merry as they possibly could. Two thousand dollars bad been set aside by the testator for the expenses of the feast, which duly took place. The organ player, however, was not allowed to per- form while the funera! procession was inside the fortifications, but as soon as it entered the suburbs the music began, and the women, children, aud Gamins formed a dancing escourt.
EB > Geecee en ene The rather startling statement is made on good authority, that the loss of life and property at sea through criminal neglect of ship-owners is greater now than before the famous Plimsotl Act was passed in 1876. The prime cause is, as it has always been, the readiness of the underwriters to insure anything in the shape of a vessel that is able to leave port. The duty of seeing that ships are seaworthy is thrown upen the Board of Trade, and ship-owners ore able, under the defective law, to contract them- selves out of all responsibility to crew, pas- sengers, or shippers. It is said to be a physical impossibility for the Board. of Trade, even under the best and most exten- sive system that can be devised, to in- spect properly ali the vessels leaving Britieh ports. — te
The latest census of England and Wales shows that of the 25,974,539 inhabitants, 24,855,822 were natives. There has been a positive decrease of the Irish population trom 601,601,634 in 1861 to 562,374 in 1881; but the number of Scotchmen has increased from one in 113 inhabitants in 1861 to one in 102 inbabitants in 1881. The foreigners in England number in all 117,999, of whom eniy 17,769 are Ameri- cans, while 37,30] are of German birth, The German population is increasing s0 rapidly as to have caused many complaints among clerks and others, with whom young German immigrants compe*e in the labor market Considering her position as the trading centre of the world, the foreign population of England is exceedingly smal),
