From their earliest years thoy liavo pursued a career of Hark t" he exclaimed, springing to his feet and grasping his revolver, "they nre coming now." Ho pointed his weapon towards the four corners of tho tent, nnd contin ued, "They aro comlngfrom north, east, south and west." As he spoko his face changed, ids eyes glittered with the baleful glare of insanity. I once more beheld tho tcrrlblo figure which I had believed to bo tho offspring of a brain oppressed with nightmare, but which I now perceived, too pinimy, 10 do snd reality. Drocklebank's exclamations were no. altogether based on delusion, Rapid footsteps were without doubt approach ing tho tent, for the bulldog began to growl ominously. A moment later I heard well-known voice saying. "Down, Boxer; don't you know us old fellow?" " It's Langford," I remarked, In an explanatory tone, being convinced by this tl mo that Drocklebank was labor ing under some unaccountable delu sion. Tho words wero scarcely out of my mouth, when ho uttered a sharp cry of anger, and suddenly seizing mo by the collar flung me on -my knees. Tin next instant I saw tho muzzle of his re volver pointed nt my head. "Parker" ho shouted, "you aro a traitor and a vil lain ; you aro in leaguo with tho rest of tho gang. I must kill you." My chances of cscapo would have boen small, for tlio wholo of this terrific scene had been enacted in a few seconds: but nt that critical moment, when the homicide's hand wns on tho trigger, the frail canvas door of the tent was thrown open, nnd Lnngford nnd Adnmson burst in. Langford immediately threw him self on Drocklebank, whllo Adamson seized tho wrist of tho murderous, hand which held tho revolver. Tho shot which, n few moments earlier, would as suredly have penetrated ray brain, passed harmlessly through tho roof of the tent. After a brief struggle tho un fortunate maniac, for such I now plain ly perceived him to be, was secured, and held in safo custody until daylight. Langford lost no tlmo In communicat ing with Melbourne, where Drockle bank, who had been settled for sev eral years in tho colony, had many friends, who held him Iu high estima tion. Wo afterwards learnt that, som years before, when at homo In Liver pool, ho had shown symptoms of men tal derangement, but that ho had ap parently been perfectly cured. The. doctors recommended him, on bis re covery, to seek a totally new sphere of action, and ho had accordingly emi grated to the southern hemisphere. Since his arrival in Victoria no on had detected in him any traces of insan ity, but tho seeds of that fell malady had evidently only lain dormant, and had suddenly sprung up In full vigor. A few days later, after a careful medical examination, tho poor fellow was re moved from Iron Dark Gully to th Lunntic Asylum nt tho Ynrra Bend, near Alelbourno. I nm not nwnre what beenmc of him subsequently, it wan doubtless in the confusion of mind com mon In cases of approaching Insanity, that ho had forgotten where lie had placed the two parcels of gold which had cau-ed me so much trouble. As for myself, I shortly nfterwardi heard news of my London friends, who came out by tho John Taylor, but found Hint neither of thorn wasasuitn bio companion for one who wns deter mined to servo n steady apprenticeship to tho trade of gold digging. Hard manual labor did not suit them; they only stayed threo weeks on the mine, nnd then gave up tho profession in dis gust. They afterwards obtained more congenial occupations, the one as assist ant In a ready-made clothes mart in Great Dourko Street, tho other ns advertise ment collector to n Qcclong new-paper of limited circulation. I was, therefore well content to remain in company with Langford and Adam-on. I work ed for twelve months with them, nnd could not possibly have fallen in with pleasanter or more trustworthy com- uiilons. None of us, however, made our fortunes nt gold-digging. Wo tolled steadily nnd per'everlngly, we seldom sank n hole that had not some gold In it, yet on reckoning up our earnings nt tho end of Hie yenr, wo found that w had prospered nbout us well as v Ictorl an day-laborers, in constnnt employ ment, Hint is, w o hnd earned about ten hillings a dnyaplece. Notwithstanding this comparatively ill-siiccu-s,l shall al ways recollect with satisfaction th time 1 spent on tho Dcndlgo gold-field for I laid In a stock of vigorous health nnd self-reliance, which aro better worth having than a tin dish full of nuggets. At tho samo tlmo I never seo an alleged thief Iu custody without remembering that I onco stood lu that lainful position, and thanking God fur my provident inl escape. 1 1 a in ha 1 V 11 H'W .

As cold weather approaches and fires become necessary, tho danger arising ffom de fective flues nnd chimneys should be guarded against.
