' Ip the tavern they were tised to yell

Pennel was startled a little later by) the sound of many voices, and rising 00) his e! bow gazed down the mountain Bice | ingborror—to see a long procession | winding up ‘the rocks towards the

for soon he descried borne aloftin the air—‘a mother and child!’ Evelyn re- turning from her first sermon ! He gasped—and gasped—and then diving his head, laughed, as Pennel Pen- dry unmarried to Evelyn Hopkins never would have laughed. Five or six of the men went. in by invitation to see Pennel. He did not .seem to make more impression upon them than a sick chicken would have done; but they gazeil curiously about the ‘place, asked one or two questions, and before they left, had gussed pretty accurately as to the probable contents of what Pennel was accustomed to call his ‘ basket and store. Next week, in all sorts of odd ways that basket began to be filled and that store was daily increased. When Sunday rolled around again, the habi- tues of the groggery adjourned of their own accord up the mountain for what

urpose they could hardly have told ; but in course of time, and after more such visits, the miners without cermo- nies installed over themselves & pastor. That is, if the reader will please to think of pastor as one of those words called by grammarians a collective noun. In this case it meant Evelyn, the baby, and Pennel. The history of this church is unrecorded by any earth- ly clerk ; its ritual was peculiar, and it was only ‘high ’ on account of its ele- vation above the sea, but it was a church nevertheless. A woman, clothed about with purity, a woman striving to be Christ-like, laid one hand upon these men, who saw in her the incarnation of all that was good in their past, and with the other she pointed them on to whatever might be good in their future.

It would be absurd to tell you these rough miners became gentlemen and Christians within a given time and thus returned to Eastern society to prove their conversion into something rich and strange,

That one of them went home not long after is true, and perhaps it was a little better for him that he had known our ‘queer woman.’

One night a few months later, ‘ Red Handed Bill’ was found shot and half dead on one side of the mountain A dozen miners soon collected around him, lying stiil in the cool, clear starlight but he would nat let them move him.

‘The woman and the baby ’ was all they could force from his cips—not even the name of his murderers—and 80 one went for Evelyu, quietly asleep in the eabio. She came soon with the child close folded in her arms, and knelt by the man writhing in agony on the rocks, They had bared his great chest to the cool wind and poured raw brandy down his throat and now waited as if in grief, -——in « sullen, silent sort that is without sentiment.

‘What is it? Are you dying ?’ whispered Evelyn.

‘Yes—do you hear boys? I leave her my claims,’ and he turned his half. glazed eyes up toward the miners.

‘Then you are going to God our Father. Do youfear him? Won't you pray first, Bill?’

‘1 don’t know how—to talk it. Won’t you give me a hold of the little white one—-and may be it’|l fetch me through.’

The big stiffening hand felt out dumb- ly after her baby’s hand warm in her bosom, and clinging to the tiny fingers, Bill drifted out of time.

The men went down the mountain. The woman went up again in awe, to feel out spiritually the dim path through which Bill’s bliad thoughts had lately groped, wondering if maybap it had nct been toward the light after all. At the door of her cabin she stopped a moment. Below her in darkness were all the gold- diggers of carta, above her the stars shiviog in glory. With her hand oo the latch she remembered thai beyond the stars was her Grod, and io he. + ws was something warm and living [iter to her than gold or star-glory ; theu she opened the door and went in. Sho was queer peri ps, but se was happy.

U. §S. Emmerants ror Canapa. — A Winnipeg, Manitoba, despatch of the 9th says -—‘‘One-fourth of the 130 immigrants who arrived by train last night came from the United States, chiefly from New York State, and will settle in the Province.” Lord Beaconsfield’s predictions of the future greatness of the Dominion may not be so visionary after all.

My Cot on the Beach.

My cottage 1s built on the side of the beach, {ts aspect will not tempt the poor,

Unheeded the rich and the proud pass me by, They seldom times trouble my door.

The young an! the gay, they pass me, too, I was once quite as gay as they now,

I envy them not, it has been my lot; Bat now unto age I must bow.

To mavhood from youth I’ve struggled for- sooth,

With strides rapid the summit I gained, And indeed | with candor must tell you the truth,

| Have not yet my object obtained.

| And while on the summit I silently steod ' Its good and its ills viewed all around, ‘I'd have no objections to retrace the same path, But uot quite so rapid come down.

The loud talking waves they lull me to sleep, As they wildly dash on the shore,

For nature in most of her maddest of moods Has delight left me plenty in store.

My sleep it is sound with sweet dreams of my youth In review stands before we again, And again 1 with candor won't tell you the truth, Much oftener with pleasure than pain.

ve

Though lowly my cot, in it something

got, ‘Neath diadems seldem is found, | Or rich coronets with jewels bright set, Or where wealth like an ocean abounds.

‘Tis the greatest of treasures save the one of great price! To dig for I am most earnestly bent, And if you incline to know what is mine, It is naughtin this world but content. SOMNUS, Souris, Oct. 6, 1879.

Cetewayo at Cape Town.

A London despatch of Oct. 4th is as fol- low : ‘Cape Tewn advices to September 10th say Cetewayo is an exceptionally fine speciwen of the noble savage. Big, black, and fifty years of age, nearly six feet high, well-proportioned, with a good-natured, broad, open face of the Zulu type, dressed in European clothes, in which he does not seem uncomfortable, he was accompanied hither by four of his wives, four followers and a little girl. The King gave very little trouble on the way down, except that oc- casionally he became sulky and demanded an entire ox roasted for daily meat. In Simon’s Bay, on board the ‘Boadicea,’ he saw the soldiers at drill, and expressed wonder 4nd admiration, remarking, ‘Oh, 1 was only born yesterday. [ am a mere baby. I never should have fought against such good men as the English, who intended to take away my country and govern it se much better than I could. They shoot us to make us Christians. I ask pardon for shooting back at the them.’ In the inter- view between the Premier of the Cape Gov- ernment and Cetewayo, the latter said, ‘‘ I was a child of the British Government, my father. The Englishmen came to chastise me for wrong-doing ; I caught the stick with which he wished to beat me, and broke it. I did wrong to fight him and [ am punished. I am no longer King. The English area great people, they will not kill those who fight against them. I hope the great Queen will pardon me and allow me to return to my country, and give me a place and per- mit me to build a kraal.” When informed that the Government intended to treat him with consideration in view of his valour and previous distinction, and that the English officials desired to supply him with every- thing necessary for his comfort, Cetewayo asked that ten more of his wives be sent for at once. It is not probable the request will be granted.

CATARRE. Constitutional Catarrh Remedy CURES CATARRH.,

Hear what a Reverend .Gentleman says of the Constitutional Remn.edy.

—————

T. J. B. Harpina, Esq., Brockville, Ont. :—

Dear Sir—It is now two years since your “‘Censtitutional Uatarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced tome. I have waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be “too good to true.”

1 was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par ticulars. The inward ‘‘drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying 1 I would feel like smothering and be com to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third, | quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head.

A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this ificate, unsolici with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister,
