Hush thee, my baby, to rest!
Fear not the night shadows, dear,
Angels fend vigils are keeping,
While little starlets are pes ng,
And.my sweet baby is sleeping,
safe in her warm little nest.
Baby is tired with play:
Mother is weary, love, too.
After the day's labor endeth,
God from his throne of love bendeth,
And. in his merey, night sendeth,
Giving new strength for the day
Sleep, Httle dar ling, so mild!
Fainter the tender volee falls:
Lullabies blend with her dreaming,
sweeter and holler seeming,
While the soft moonlight is streaming
Over the mother and child.

A FIGHT FOR LIFE.
1 am getting rather old, and live more
in the past than in the future, but I
have knocked about so much, and met
with so many strange adventures during
mv life, that this must be my excuse
for the love I have of every now and
then taking up a pen and jotting down
some of my recollections, when I seem
in a manner to live my life over again.
I§was always of a roving disposition,
and conld never rest very long in one
place, so that I have visited most parts
of the habitable globe. I hate plans
and arrangements made long bafore-
hand. and I generally act on the spur
of the moment. :
About twenty years ago I suddenly
left London in the height of the season
on one of these unpremeditated VOyAges.
I was weary of the eternal round of
London life, with its dinner parties,
dances and drums, and so determined
to be off at once, not caring much where
to, so long as I had achange.
Four days afterward I found myself
in Genoa.
While lounging about I came across
a lot of rough-looking Italian sailors
dressed in blue jerseys and jelly bag
scarlet caps. They particularly attract-
ed me. for, being a bit of an artist, I
have an eve for color, so I stood watch-
ing them for a minute or two, while
they were talking eagerly together, and
I caught the words Garibaldi and Cap-
rera. I said before that I am given to
sudden impulses. One of these seized
me. Why not go and visit this hero in
his island he True, I did not know
him personally, but I had always heard

The plan seemed asif it might answer,
so I sent him off for his cousin
neighboring wine shop, and they soon
returned together.
«Well here is Antonio," said Bartolo.
«He thinks that we might ‘accomodat

that a little discomfort will not much
matter, especially as, this chance lost,
it may be s time before another
presents itself. Of course tha Signor
understands that we are poor men, and
shall require some good inducements
to make us lose time by going out of
our way, but if the Signor will pay us
100 lire (£4) down, and give us a small
‘buona mano’ on arrival, we will take
him.”
It was now getting late, so we separ-
ated, on the understanding that I was
to meet Partolo at the same place in
the morning st 8o’clock.
I was there at the appointed hour and
found him waiting for me. His cousin,
he said, had gone on board and was get-
ting things in order, as they were to
sail that evening.
I stepped on board and was shown to
my cabin, if such it could be called. Tt
was in the forepart of the ship, and
close to the mast. I entered it rt Hh
a narrow, dark hatchway, and down a
ladder of six or seven steps, and when
I got to the bottom, I had to bend al-
most double, as it was sitoply a square
box about four feet high and six feet
wide. There were three separate hatch-
ways. In the middle one they were
storing away the cargo, and the one aft
was used by the crew.
At 6 o'clock sharp we ieft the harbor,
with a fair wind; it was a beautiful
evening, not a clond was to be seen,
and soon after dark a glorious moon
rose out of the wea. I sat on deck smok-
ing my cigar and enjoying the tranquil-
ity of the scene, while being fanned by
the soft sen breeze.
The crew consisted of Bartolo, his
cousin, the tall man called Beppo and
a boy called Gigi.
For Itahans they were not a sociable
lot. I tried several times to get into con-
versation but they seemed rater to avoid
me, and continually whispered to each
other in u mysterious way, This some-
what disquieted my mind and I could

She sudden relief to my strained ner-
ves was almost more than I could bear,
and it was some seconds before I spoke.
There was an expression of horror on
the men's faces as they looked round
on the scene of bloodshed, the wounded
men and then scanned my face for an
explanation. Did they take me for a
madman or a common murderer?
At last I found my voice. They
crowed eagerly round me to listen tomy
story, and when I had finished all con-
gratulated me on my narrow escape.
The officer, who was the captain of
the brig, hospitably invited me on board
his ship. He was sailing to Marseilles
and would gladly give me a passage.
Needless to say, I jumped at his offer.
We removed the covering from the
hold and called on the men to come up,
but could get no answer.
The captain? as ina hurry to continue

On the north side of the precipice was
a large dyke of pyritous iron, running
east and west, and on its south wall the
mineral appeared in the form of proto-
sulphates, what is commonly known as
copperas, In the latter there was a
small, irregulariy-shap-d hole, several
feet in depth, Into which water was
slowly sipping from a small spring on a
slight eminence some yards distant,
This water was strongly impregnated
with salt, From this pot hole, and ex-
tending across the mountain top were a
number of small veins or stringers of
copper ore, almost pure in their native
state, which terminated, to all appear.
