This odd custom was perhaps for the purpose of “bringing luck“ to the infant.

I will close this series with a cur- ious discovery in natural history. The miner's life, in addition to be- ing lnost laborious (for Northum- brian coal is a harder mineral than that of the Durham coal- ficlds) was very monotonous. He was paid oncc s. fortnight, on the Friday ns he left work; and the IlBXt dHW-“Pay Saturday"— was u bright spot in his life, having bccn by imml-murial custom a hol- iday. If the weather was favorable the miner would sometimes ramble to some distant village there to spend the day, eating n frugal din- nc-r of bread and cheese, but mak- ing up for this by consuming inor- dinatc libations of beer.

On such an occasion one of our vdllngers was attracted by a red flag at the door of a house. This signified that an auction sale was taking place, and of course "Geor-

die"—generlc for a miner-—- went in to have a look round. The ar- ticle which took his eye most was n small stuffed crocodile. He had llevcr sccn sill-ll an animal bcforc; its leathery skin, sharp teeth and long tail excited his wonder, and he pictured himself taking it home in il-iuuipll and presenting it to the school museum.

EXPECTATION - Ellis

Silent, and frozen, the lakes and the rivers;

Snow-drifts are sweeping o'er plains white and cold,

While, murmuring sadly tho thorn tree shivers,

Waiting for springtime its buds to unfold.

When shnll the robin, its sweet note singing,

Rest in thy branches with wings unfurled?

When will summer, with warm breath clinging.

Weave hcl- green mantle o'er the cold world?

Sadly I hark to the wild winds sweeping, - Fate bids mc wait till the months flee away, Yet still in the winter doth Nature lie sleeping, Still doth his cold breath springs dawning delay. Wllcn will the south wind, softly blowing, Bring buck the birds at the win- ter‘s close? When will summer, with joy o'er flowing, Nurse in llcl" bosom tllc first fair rose? _ -F. l-I. MacArthur.
