This is no time to o-o off into a hrown stmiy or to write a Latin exercise for l'ursoii L.Himis to eorrect." "This is no Latin exercise," replied James, who in later years hecame an eminent scholar. "This is a little en terprise tip-on which Heaver ami I are aliout enterino-. I lo tin writin;r ami Heaver does the carry inr. Here. H'a ver. ,, -l i lojr.

"Heaver is no i omiin.ri do;?: lie umliTstands a rreat deal of tnv talk to him. lie will pass the ni?ht in ViI!in?toii with sister Lucy, and will return to us to-morrow with a let ter." "Stran?e Heaver don't come back," said uribelicvini? ttuhy over and over, during' tlu evciiint?, and she even sat up until far into the n't?ht momentari ly expeetin? to hear the familiar bark of the favorite do? at the door. lie did not come, however, and she arose in the morning convinced that he considered himself sent away for some reason, and that they should never see the fine old fellow a?ain. "He will ?ct homo by dinner time," said James, and. sure enou?li, about noon he came trottiiif? serenely in. wa-j-o-in? his tail and barkin? sharply to express his joy. Jaiui's opned the little leather bat?, finding?, as he expected, a note from Lucy. "i cried all day after watchinj? you out of sij?ht," it said, "and you don't know how f?lad I was to see Heaver when he came barking? at the dix-r early ill the evening. Your letter was a (?re:it comfort, for I had no idea of hearino from you for a week at least. I shall not feel half so forlorn now, for a do;? that will fetch a bone will carry one, they say, and we can write as often as we pi. "Vie. " They did write often, yon may ba sure, and Capt. Hawson'.s Hearer, w ith the little leather wallet suspended lfiiealh his white thmat, came to be a fo-sTiar sii?ht. to the dwellers iu the larmhoitscs all alonj? the pleasant country way that stretched between the two ?rcat turnpikes. The old residents say that in the fore part of the present century there were ten taverns between laleville, in Wil liii?ton, and West ford hill. At all of these houses of entertainment New l"nt?land rum was sold, and refresh ment fnr man and beast could be pro vided nn simrt notice. Heaver had nooecasinn to call at any of t'ies placos, neither did h bunt for squirrels and wno.ichueks almu; the way. lie attended strictly to his bti.M ness of mail carrier, and cxchatiTcd very few -m;ili!:ients with hi-, canine acquaintances who sainted him w ith a cor dial bow-wow as he trotted past their ahidino places. This went on for several months, arid then one w inter day Mother l.aw s..ii was taken suddenly and vi..le!itly ill. Capt. l.awson and .lames were away, ami merry Kuhy knew not what ti ill i. "It I only could send to Willinjrton forHr. Skinner I should be thankful indeed. Hearer!" she said to the old do?, who from one corner of the hearth was very prravely takin? note of his mistress distress. "I tui-?ht. semi old Jerry, who iseuttin? ivmul at the i Mir. to be sure, but he would call so lon? at every tavern in ti;.-n that he would never "ret t the end of the journey! ! you hear.

"The old doctor can't t?et liere until sundown, at the quickest." she said, "and it is not hiirh n.mn." What was her surprise, therefoie, when, in little more than an hour after Hearer started out. the skillful phy sician cantered up on his Ih-et (?ray lmrse. w ith Hearer fnllnwin? elnse at his hiels. "Now, this beats all." said the old man, cnterim? the house, saddle bai?s in hand. "It certainly Wats all that I ever heard of. 1 was hist turning? up to Col. Hrilt's tavern to ret me a 1 i 1 1 le drop of somethini? hot - for it is an ama.iii' chilly air and the ohl .l..r came stlonj?. ritnnin? like a streak, and headed me oiT. Mm "lont? about your business. Here." I said.: 'Lucy is wait in? f..r her letter." Hut he answered, in as plain do? talk as ever I heard, that he was after I r. Skinner. So I made bold tn tell Col. Hritt when he came out to see what all this bow wowiiu? was about t.. oii the little leather ba? and s" what iuessa?e was inside. Hut the old dof -,li..n ,l t he wlmle length ami width of his teeth in such a way that the eolom-l re treated forthwith, and upon that Hearer om tied his conversation :iraiTi at me. So I .'ot off my horse, as much out of curiosity as anythin-? else, and, if you will believe me. he raised no ob jection to my tindin;? ami r.-a li-i" t!i lett.-r. and. sure eiioii-h. t lu-re I found in black and white that Mr. Skinner was wanted. "However, before I started up here I put the ba? on Heaver's neck a train and T .1.1 him tn ir to I.uey wit'i it. but he would not bit "ire an inch in any diri-etioii eceptiii? this." "I told him he "oul.lnt "m- expected to know- Mr. Skinner." said Ku by.

Mother I.awson recorere;! and Heaver's praises ran? far and wide all almut the country side. Tin line old dor lived several years after that episode and died of old ajre. lamented by many friends ami ad mirers.

A Curious Industry of Southern AkIm l.o-;- l-:v.l-nt for ColtlllM. 'ne of the most curious industries in tin world is the business of miiiitio' for eot'in planks which is carried on in I'p-r Toiiqttin. a portion of the French possessions in southeastern Asia. In a certain district in this province there exists a irretit linder-rrouiid leM isit of lo;r.s. w hich were probably the trunks f trees cno-ulfc.l by an cart hquake or --tin other convulsion of nature at a comparatively recent period. The trees. Miys the Youth's Compan ion, are a sKies of pine known to the rat ires, and also to some ex tent to I u-r.-pcan commerce, as iiam-hoti. The wood is almost imperishable, and has he quality. it her throu-rh its nature or as the result of its soujourii under-a-roimd. of resislinj? decay from damp. I lii-. quality makes it particularly ral iiablc for the manufacture of eoflius. and for this purimsc it is largely c srlii to Knr.ip,. The trees are often a yard in diame ter. Th y :.ro buried in samlv earth ,:t a dept h of from t wo to ei-ht yards, and arc du" up hy uat ive laWr as de mand is made for them. In many other places in the world trees are found u nder?rotind in a very fair state of preservation.

Ill the course of time the intorst iis Wtwccli the loirs filled up with earth and all were covered over evenly with more earth and vegetable j?rowth.

Comment in? on these lio-ures the Westminster (iaette savs of the limits of wealth and income in the realm of Victoria: "The possession of what is ordinarily termed a ill-"lest income, of anything, in fact, above fl"ii (or TaU is a mre stroke of fortune, which comes to very few in this world, while the chance of U-eoinin-? a Cnesus is so wildly remote that it will hardly entcr intn the calculatiniis of a reason able man."

And this in the richest city of the coun try, containing? one-ninth of its entire mpulat ion. Makino-due allowance for the fact that Hritishers. like mankind jrciicral ly. can Ik trusted not touveistate their incomes for purposes of taxation, it is still evident that the wealth of this country is not only trreater than that of Ireat Hritain. but tliat it is Utter distributed.
