The fire burns chccrilv on the hearth, the
great logs crackle and ilara up tho wldo chlm
ney,up which it Is ray wont to say you could
drlvo a coach-nnd-four. I draw my chair
nearer to it with a shiver. 'What n night 1'
I say.
"Is it still snowing ?" asks my wife, who
sits opposito to me, her books and work ou
tbo table beside her.
"East. Y'ou can scarcely sec a yard before
you."
"Heaven help nny poor creature on the
moor to-night," says she.
"who would venture out? It began enow-
ng before dark, nnd all tho people about
know the danger of being benighted ou tho
moor In a snow storm."
"Yes. But I hayo known people frozen to
death hereabouts before now."
My wife is Scotch, and this pleasant houso
n tho Uighlands is hers. Wo are trying a
winter In it for thu first time, nnd I find It
excessively cold and somewhat dull. Men
tally I decide that in future wo will only
grace it with our presence during tho shoot
ing season. Presently I go to tho window
and look out; It has ceased bnowing, and
through A rift in the clouds I seo a star.
'It is beginning to clear," I tell my wife,
and also inform her that it is past 11. As
she lights her candle nt a side table I hear a
whining and scratching at the trout door.
"There is Laddlo looso again," says she.
"Would you let him in, dear 1"
I did not like facing the cold wind, but
could not refuse to let in tho poor animal.
Strangely enough, when I opened the door
and called him he woudn't come. IIo runs
up to tho door and looks into my faco with
dumb entreaty ; then he run3 back a few
step', looking around to see if I am follow
ing ; and finally, he takes my coat in his
mnuth nnd tries to draw mo out.
"Laddie won't come in," I call out to my
wife. "On tho contrary, he seems to waut
mo to go out nnd have a garao of snowball
with him."
Sho throws a shawl round htr nnd comes
to tho door. Tho collio was hers before wo
were married, and she is almost as fond of
him, I tell her, as she is .of Jack, our eldest
boy.
"Laddie, Laddio 1" sho calls ; "come in,
sir." lie comes obediently at ner call, but
refuses to enter the house, and pursues tho
same dumb pantomime he lias already tried
on me.
"I chall shut him out, Jessie," I say. "A
night in the snow won't hurt him," and I
prepared tj close the door.
"You will do nothing of the kind 1" sho
replies with nn anxious look ; "but you will
rouso the servants at nnco aud follow him.
Some one is lost in the snow, and Laddio
knows it."
I laugh. "Really, Jesse, you aro absurd.
Laddie is a sagacious animal, no doubt, but
I cannot believe he is as elever us that. How
can ho possibly know whether anyone h lo-t
in the snow or not ?"
"Because he has found them and como
back to us for help. Look nt him now."
I cannot but own that tho dog seems rest
less and uneasy, and is evidently endeavor
ing to coax its to follow him ; he looks at us
with pathetic entreaty in his eloquent eyes.
"Why, won't you believe me ?" ho seems to
ask.
"Come," she continues ; "you know you
could not rest while there was a possibility
of a fellow-creature wanting your assistance.
And I am certain I.addie is not deceiving
us."
What is a poor hen-pecked man to do ? I
grumble and resist and yield ; as I have of
ten grumbled and resisted aud yielded be
fore, and as I doubtless shall do again.
"Laddie once fonnd a man in the snow be
fore, but ho was dead," Jessie says, as sho
hurried off to fill a flask with brandy, and
to get ready some blankets for us to take
with us. In the meantime I roused tho ser-
auts. They are all English, with the ex
ception ot Donald, the gardener, and I can
seo they are scoffingly skeptical of Laddie's
lagacity, and inwardly disgusted at having
to turn out of their warm beds and face the
bitter winter's night.
Dinna trouble yourself," I hear old Don
ald say. "Tho mistress is right enough.
Auld Laddie is cleverer than mony a Chris
tian, and will find something in tho snow
this night."
"Don't sit up, Jessie," I say as we start ;
we may bo out half the night on this wild
gooso chase."
Follow Laddie closely, is the only an
swer she makes.
Tho dog springs forward with a joyous
bark, constantly looking back to bee if wo
aro following. As we pass through the ave
nue gates aud emerge on to the moor, the
moon struggles for a moment through tho
driving clouds, ' lights up with a Bickly
gleam tho snow-clad country before us. "It's
like hunting for a needle, in a bundle of hay
ir," says John, tho coaclunan.coufidentially
to think as we should find anybody 011
such a night as this 1 Why, in somo places
the snow is more than a couple of feet thick,
and it goes again' reason to think that a
dumb auimal would have the scuso to como
home and fetch help."
"Hide a wee, bide a wee, says old Don
ald, "I dinna ken what yur English dugs
can do ; but a collie, though it hasna been
pleasing to Providence to give the creatur
the gift o' speech, can do mony malr things
than them that wad, deride It."
"I ain't a deridin' of 'em," says John. "I
only say as how If they bo so clever I've
never seen it."
"Ye wull. though, vo wull." eava old Don-
aid, as he hurries forward after Laddie, who
has now fettled down into a swinging trot,
and Is taking Ills way straight across tho
loneliest part of the bleak moor. The cold
wind almost cuti us lu two, and whirls tho
snow Into our faces.uearly blinding us. My
finger-tips aro becoming numbed, Icicles
hang from my moustache and beard, and my
feet and legs are soaking wet, even through
my shooting boots aud stout leather leg
gings. Tho moou has gone in again, and tin
light from the lantern we carry is barely
sufficient to show us the inequalities in tho
height of the snow, by which we are guess
ing at our path, I begin to wish I had stayed
at home. "Zthomme propotc, mait laemme
ditpoit," I sigh to myself ; and I beglu to
consider whether 1 may venture to give up
the search (which 1 have undertaken purely
to satisly my wife, for I am like Jobu, and
won't believe in Laddie,) when suddenly I
bear a shout in front of me, aud see Donald,
who has all tbo time been keeping closo to
Laddle,drop on his knees and begin digging
wildly In the snow with his hands. Wo all
rush forwsrl. Laddio has stopped at what wo
Buppose to bo the foot of a stunted tree, nnd
niter scratching and whining for n moment,
sits down and watches, leaving the rest to
us. What Is it that appears when wo have
shoveled away tho snow? A dark object.
Is it a btindlo of rags ? Is it or nlasl was it
a human being? We raise it carefully nnd

down tho poor old throat, but the teeth are
so firmly clenched that I cannot.

Something About Torpedo lioaU.
Tho torpedo boat is a particularly Ameri
can idea. It was in 1770 and in New York
harbor that tho first torpedo boat was launch
ed. David liushnell, nn American Captain
of Engineers, undertook to plant a torpedo
under a British man-of-war, but did not
succeed. The torpedo was to bo attached to
the bottom of tho vessel by means of a wood
en screw, and then fired by a clock-fuse. Du
riug the following year a drifting percussion
torpedo was directed against a frigate lying
oiTNew London, and a schooner that was
moored alongside was destroyed. Thirty
years afterward Hobert Fulton experiment
ed in New York harbor with four classes of
torpedoes of his own invention, and in 1843
Col. Samuel applied electricity to ignition of
submarine batteries. During the civil war
torpedoes of an American invention were
used in tho Southern waters, and nine iron
clads, eleven wooden war vessels and nine
transports and steamboats wero destroyed.
Tho only weapon of this kind which has
yet been used by the Itussians ou the Dan
ube are spar torpedces, like tho one which
Lieut. Cushman put under tho bottom of the
ram Albemarle, in lloanoko inlet. The
man who made that torpedo Is the Inventor
of the Improved engine of war, which was
exhibited recently at Cleveland,;Ohio. The
Whitehead torpedo, which Is regarded
abroad asn marvel of Ingenuity, is propelled
by compressed air, and cannot be controlled
after it starts on Us course. The Lay torpe
do boat carries in hold its own engine and
boile-i, besides its freight 01 100 pounds of
dynamite. Tho engine, the rudder and the
exploding fuse aro under the control of the
operator on shore. There are threo keys
playing on tho battery on shore, and these
keys start aud stop the engine or turn it to
port or larboard. Tho torpedo may bo so
arranged as to explode by, tbo operation of
tho keys or by concussion upon striking any
hard object. When tho torpedo Btriku tbe
vessel or auy other solid substauc, a -e'l U
rung In the office on shore, and tliodynamite,
may be exploded or not. The velocjwhlch
is claimed for this torpedo seems marvelous
twelve miles an hcur,

A near-sighted and modest resident of'
Cazenova entered a dry goods store In that
village, and, thinking to perpetrate a joke,
stepped up to the dummy on which new pat
terns of dresses and mantles are displayed,
and struck it on the shoulder, raying, "Well
old woman, how are you?" The old woman
at once turned and not onbanaVered bis
