Hetty at the Barn Door.

The cows are housed, the milking done, The sheep are in the fold ;

I hear the vespers of the birds Across the dewy wold.

The mowers from the marsh come late, The sun set bells have tolled,

I see them loom, |ike silhouettes, Againat the sunset gold.

And, flushing o'er their loosened sails, Frem some last, lingering ray,

A fleet of homeward fishing boats Come rippling up the bay.

I hear the elosing of the forge That olinks serosa the way,

And. as he doffs his frock, the strain Of George's rouiwlelay.

Another minute, with a bound, He will beside me be,

While fisher Johan comes from the wharves, And Joseph from the lea.

My heart is torn to choose betwixt, ‘With all a-wooing me;

| think—perhaps twill be as well- To try and love all three.

LOST IN A MINE. idaitamtdeeedh Concluded.

‘Where there is a light there is hope,’ giaculated [ aloud,

" * Hope,’ answered a muffled voice somewhere above my head.

With a shriek of horror I sprang to my feet. A hundred voices repeated the ery from the darkness in every di- rection. It was only the echo that mockingly replied from the drifts aad caverns. Agoin I entered the passage to the right, and when I came to the branch, turned to the leit, ascended a steep grade, and soon came toa large drift, in which I had never beep.

The candle became sherter and shor- ier; only a half inch remained in my hand. Still I advanced with a hope of gulety.

A sensation of danger came over me. I stopped, and the dying light with un- steady flame showed mea yawning shaft. A step more,and L had fallen into a dark pool fifty feet below. Once more the light flickered, then all was darkness.

I turned and fled down the drift, I felt a blow on my head, and then ra- membered no more.

When [ resovered my consciousness agaio, fearful pains werein all my limbs. I tried to rise, but my endea- vors were in vain. Ll was hungry— starvation! Good heavens! what a fearful thought! I feit that death was approaching—-slowly, but certain the protracted misery. I thought of my father and mother—of aH my beloved friends. What would they think of my sndden disappearance. Not asoul knew

thas | had entered these abandoned drifts.

At last Iwas abie to move again. Crawling through mad and water,

scrambling over decayed timbers, ereep- ing among ragged masses of fallen slate, often siopping to listen in vaia for some sound beside the dropping of water to break the horrible stillaess, many heurs pissed away Then [ lost my coasei- Ousness again; and again rackiog pains. roused me from my swoon, Suddenly, when it seemed to me the last breath of life was io the act of leaving my body, Theard a punting noise close by. A hot breath jel] upon my face and then something eold and moist touched my cheek.

With a painful effort [streatched out my hand and grasped the hair of a liv- ing animal, which immediately bounded away barking loudly. Then I shouted with all my remaining strength for relief,

‘This way, boys—this way; here he is !’

Life and hope returned to me with With these words, uttered by the well known voice of a brother miner. Lights flashed in the thick darknoss,and strong arms !ified me from the ground. Some eve ssid, ‘Hisdog saved him. We should never have found the poor fellow if the dog hadn't led us on.’

Then pang after pang of agony and suffering throbbed through my brain. I cried, prayed, shouted ~—the delirium of brain fever was upon me. <A week passed before consciousness returned, and midsummer came before I was able to leave my bed.

Four days and three vights 1 had been lost under greuad.

Day after day my dog had followed the miners dewn the steep inclined tunnel and placed himself at the open ivg of the abandoned drifts. Twice the mivers drove him out of the mine. The third time seeing the animal's persis- tence, they followed his movements, and were guide lto the spot where I was lying.

The dritts of the old mine were tho- roughiy explored, and worked over agoin by myself and companions. Our success mnvre than equalled our most Saguiiie expectations ; a handsome

The safeguard seems hardly adequate to the dauger, and it was not ditlicult to see that this picture of danger to Germany was paint- ed, not for Europe, but for Germany itself, Prince Bismarck contemplates the possible alliance of Russia and France, but omits all notice of the actual alliance between Germany and Austris. ‘The present state of things is a reason for decreasing rather than inereasing the German army. Germaay has doubled her strength by the Austrian alliances, and, it might be theught, could afford to rest and be thankful. But Prince Bismarck, although ke ig sometimes thankfnl, never rests. He may not wish for war, but nothing pleases him so much as to be in the position to get up a war apy day with large chances in his favor. This position be has now created for himself,

Says the N. Y. Scientisic American, of Feb. 21 :— “It is a curious fact that in some lines of manufactures the Canadians are beating the Yankees in economy ef pro- duction. For example, the Waterous Manufacturing Company, of Brantferd, Ontario, have, we learn, for some time past been delivering steam engines in Bremen at less prices than the Ainerican makers can put them down there.”

The Duke of Argyll is not an imposing- leoking person. ‘the London Truth, de- scribing hin: says: ‘lf ene were to meet the Duke hurrying cityward on foot, and carrying a small carpet bag, one would set him down as an intelligent banker’s clerk. Meet him in evening dress at Lady X’s, and you will be far from suspeeting that he was the descendant of a long line of heroes afd statesmen. in appearance he is es- sentially commonplace. It isonly when he begins to talk or rather when he warms to his subject, that you recognize Ulysses Even then you are a long time in detecting the grand seiqueur. His conversation is that of a scholar who has yet seen something of the world, though in whom the enthu siast is apt to prevail over the opportunist. But for one circumstance the Duke of Argyll might have been a dilettante who had always a diffuse review on hand,or some brilliant ideas which just wanted to be put into shape. From this fact he was saved by a passion for hard work. He is simply indefatigable.”
