Tregoze is n pleasant little Cornish Til lage overlooking the "Western Sea." Everything there Is rongh nnd stony. nnd even tho inhabitants ore to MI ap pearance as rough and stony ns their native rocks. Bnt underneath (hose klaly fields lies the rich vein of metal nnd in those rongh Cornish hearts is n vein of human feeling nnd Christian charily, far, far pnrer than mnch thnt passes as anch in the fashionable world, where tinkling bells dally summon rich dowagers to church in their georgcous chariots. The children of Tregnz9 wero tripping lightly to school after the holidays, along the bard, slaty paths. It was, indeed, with no "creeping liko snuil unwillingly to school" hind of motion on this occas ion, ns nil were full of expectation, al most of joy, for they were to have that day n new mistress, one whom they nil knew, nnd who bad, in fact, been one of themselves. Margaret Powhele hod been born In Tregoze, where she bad attended the school, first ns pupil, and then its pnpll teacher. Thence she bad gone to the college in London, nnd n vacancy hav ing occurrod, she bad Ven nppmntetl mistress down there in her own native village. Her father had worked there, man nnd bny, in tbe Tregoze mines for upward of forty years, nnd be still con tinued to follow this same'occupalion. Tho children, therefore, Ml knew Margaret. Their memories of ber were plcaiaut, nnd bence they tripped joyous ly to school, where they ndmired their new mistress, who, in their eyes, was certuinly its learned as the curate nnd alrnnst as wise as the vicar, beside being as pretty ns n princess. When thej, therefore, returned home at midday, many were tbe oxclitmations of "Isn't she prettyl" "Isn't she nice!" nnd so on, among tbe youngsters; which exclama tions generally called forth from the old people the remark, "I hope thee wool get vorr.ird i' tby laming, 'rnnse times be very bard for ns poor volks." Many others beside the school children were in love with Margaret, for she had bndded into womanhood since she had left Tregoze, nud now her beauty had taken the young men by surprise. For some lime Margaret found it far from agreeable to have so many admirers, bnt by dint of good management, by tbe falling off of those who felt they bad "no ohance," and throngb other circum stances, ber circle of avowed adorers be came reduced to two Joseph Tregear nnd Tom Polglaze. Itotb of these yonng men were receiv ing good wages in tbe mines, and bad opportunities of rising to higher posi lions as Inspectors, .to.; both, too, were stexdy, nnd bad saved a little money, It was long, however, before Margaret herself made it known which she i re ferro.l; so far as that goes, neither could fo: n loug tlmo boast of the smallest favor. Other girls called Margiret flirt, bat In this they wronged her. The simple fact was that Margaret, not yet tiro 1 of being her own mistress, endeav ored so to order her woya that neither Josoph Tregear, Tom Pulghze nor any other suitor might have tbe slightest reason to bo jeoloiu of a rival. Tregear, however, had the good sense ti see thut neither hs nor Polgbzi were nearly so well educated as Margaret, and be will nuderFtond that It ia a bad omen when tbe hnsbaud has to look up to thn wife in Iho matter of learning. Ha nc. cordlngly bought books, nnd became nn earnest midnight student. In fact, lie tried in every way to render bitxself Mar garet Powhele' itjual. Tom PolglrfZJ, however, loved tho fair teacher not a whit less than his rival, tut he whs formed in a rougher mold. He scarcely noticed the change in Tregear but. if he did not Margaret Powhele did and she was highly gratified by I'. Joseph, said she to him one even ing wbeu be camo to imk tu r t taken walk, "you seem mnch chauged l.iti ly yon aro ns little like a native of Tregczi as myself." "In what way, Margaret?" "You have lost that twang, and yo seem to know something about the great world. Da yon study? ' "Yea; I sit np every night to read, or to work mathematics." "Wbjl What do you want to be? clerk?" "Margaret-, I alndy nnly to be more like youj I love you will yon " "There! Joseph Tregear! yon stndy to be like me? I am sure I never set you the frxamnlanf tallclno- aneh pnhhlaht Ah. 1 fthl Good-bye!" $1.00 If So saying, off she tripped into the honse, to his Interne discomfiture, But was Margaret any tbo more hap py than the lover she bad left so dlscoti sulato in tbo street? That evening her parents noticed n great change in ber, bnt could not discover tho cause. She did not talk nor take any food, but soon retired to her own little room complain lug of a lxadache. ' Do I love him?" she muttered whin nlone. "Poor fellow! ho studies hard fnr my Bako to be more worthy of me, I suppose he calls It, All, Joseph! why did I letivo you so nbrupttj? What a giddy worthless thing I ami" Thnt niht she con ltl not sleep until she bad decided upon n future course of notion. The next day being Salnrdny, Margar et spent at homo in household cares which she shared with ber mother, but she scarcely spoke a word all day. In tho evening Bho went to tbo draper's and bought a few ribbons nnd other litlio nrticles, for there wns somaoljeot now iu being pretly. Ou Suud.iy bbo npper.ro 1 ia church dressed with more than ber usual cue, nud she may be forgiven if she was not qnito so attentive lo tho sermon M she Bhould have been, for there at a dlstanco sat Joseph Tregear, looking at ber with his great blue eyes, making ber blush nnd inspiring her with tbe desire of sink ing through the floor. On leaving the porch, after dismissing her flock, Margaret found Joseph Tre gear und Tom Po'glnze pretending to read tbe inscriptions ou tho tombs. At tho sound of her step, Tom raised bis held and advanced with n friendly nod, while Joseph remained still, bnt fixed those great bine eyes on her. Goo! morning, Tom," said she indif ferently; "how are you?" Polglaze was replying as they nenred Tregear, when Margaret stopped. Tre gear still held back, trembling in bis heart, nnd apprehensive of his rival. Margaret, however, was so apparently c.tlm that ho was beginning to think her heart as bard as ber native rocks, vben, nodding nn adieu to Polglaze, she very naturally nnd very quietly put her band on Tregear's arm nnd said: I am very Rorry I kept you waiting; I can only spare you half an hour for a walk." It was tho first timo she bad ever shown a preference, aud Polglaze now knew that be, too, was "out of tho race." His face changed to an ashen hue, and be tottered off with dejected looks, but with clenched fists. Tregevr squeezed the small band that had-been so unexpectedly put on his arm, nnd led ,Margaret away for the promised walk, which, it need scarcely be said, wns unconsciously lengthened into an hour. When Margaret once more arrived under her parents' roof it was not alone that she came. Hence forth another had also a right to join ber there. Tregear knew tho price that must be paid for Margaret's love. He knew that Po!gl:iz would not give her up without contest Nor was it long before the battlo was commenced, fnr that very eve ning, ns Tregear was leaying the bouse of the Pnwheles, be was attacked by bis rival. With him it was but a wcrd and blow. "Joe Tregear, you've crossed my steps and now I'll be revenged on yon!" So saying, Polglaze struck a blow which would have felled on ordinary man. But Tregear was quite a match for him, and the two fought long and desperately, nntll separated by the rural policeman, wbo threatened them with legal proceedings. Of course Margaret wns one of tbo first to bear of tbo battle. Distressed beyond measure she went to ber lover's parents, wbere she found bim in a most unpre sentable condition. A few words soon explained the position of affairs, when Margaret burst iuto tears and blamed herself for showing ber preference so stupidly. Margaret." replied ber lover, "do not take it to heart. I'd rather be fighting him again tbau see your tears." Leave me alone a minute. Let me overcome tV is." "Yes, dear heart!" said Mrs. Tregear, don't ye take ou iu this way. These tinmen are regular vlghters; but this Tom Polglaze is the mortacionsest vight- er that ever I zee." Yes, Margaret, that's true, I knew the day I gaiuod your lovo I should find an enemy, lint cheer np, cheer up! I fancy be will not attack me again iu a burry, for I know be dois not at this moment look a bit handsomer than do." And so saying, be langbed the matter lightly away, until Margaret too began to smile through her ten:s. On the following day, when the two tiv.iln went to ihe uiiue, their appearance caused many jeering and uouteuiptnous rt murks, lor llio tii.m-u wire in bopesof goading them on to reuew tbo battle. P dglaze bad, however, fouud an ad versary northyof his Ntroug aria, nud was not so rtndy to strike the first blow us bo bad been tho uigtit before, be con tented himself, therefore, with doubling bis Q.-ds aud s.iying that the time of ven geance would come. Months passtd away, however, Trc grzi recovered from IU uuwmted o citement, nnd matter took their usua course. The mines uero worked, old soium wero used up, and new veins cpeued out; but though tbe battle bad not been reuewed, Jo.eph Tregear aud Tom Pulglize bad not shaken hands, This caused M-trgaret no sm-tll auxle ty, for duwu there iu tbe bowels of the earth an unseen blow with a pick might destroy the happiness of her life. She often begged Tregear to leave tbe mines, but be said he bad good prospects of be ing appointed engineer's assistant, and as for -Tern Pulpits;.' threat why, he bad not the slightest anxiety on account of that. At length a ne,w, shaft was to be opened a Year if Paid in Advance. not paid in advance, $1.25. and tbe two younc; men, being the steadiest hands in the mine, were select for the operation. There they tollod to gether for a few weeks witbout exchang ing a word, and they vrere alone, far from any other workmen. Margaret was wretcbod, but to all ber supplications Tregear still said that he had no fear. In ber distress she spoko to Polglazo nnd asked him to shako band) with Tregear. He refused, but ho pressed his rough hands to his temp les nud said, "I loved youthen, Iloro you now, ns much or more than Joe Tregear." A day or two after thit both mon were again at work together, nud silent ns death in the s 'Wary shaft. Tbey wero suddenly startled by a falling stone. A few Inmps of earth camo tumbling down, nnd the whole shaft seemed to tremble. The works were givit g way. The two mm looked nt one nuotber, for n moment, with blaucbod faces. It Wiw the first t'mi they bad looked into one another's eyes since that fatal day. ex cept fo dait glances of scorn nnd hate. They ran fo Iho kebble and gave the slg nal to be drawn up. They were touch ing one another now, their hands almost clasped together on tho rope. Their very breath seemod to intermingle It was terriblo after such n course ofhalp to be brought togethor nnW these cir cumstauces. As theyjwere both shout ing to be drawn np, tbn rope tightened and strained, bnt the kebble would not move. More earth now fell, but still the kebble remained nt tho bottom of the shaft. Whilst shouting louder nnd londer for help, the terrible truth flashed through their minds thnttbern was only one man at tbe windlass, and? that ho alone was unable to raise them both, nnd all this lime tbo shaft was trembling and earth and stones falling. As they stood there In tbe kebble their bodies and bands touching, nnd glanc ing into one nnolher'd eyes, the awful thought came to them both in nn instant that one of them must die must die to sava to other his enemy! One of them must die but who should it be? Tbey again looked atone another, nnd there was an eternity in tbe glance. Then one of them let go the rope nnd dropped out of tbe kebble, which im mediately began to rise. Who was it? The williug martyr was Tom Polglaze.

Tom Folglnze was in 'eternity, as noble a soul as ever died for any canse that is dear to man; ns devoted as any marlyr as generons souled as any patriot though only a poor miner. It wns long before Joseph Tregear nnd Margaret Powhele recovered from that sho:k. They mourned )tbe bntve dead at a brother, and a neat little stone.over- lookiug the village church-yard, long af terward, reminded the tinmen of Tre goze of tbe noble deed of self-sacrifico of a hero who was one of themselves. "I CAN SWIM, SIB." During a terrible naval battle between the English and Dutch, tbe English flag ship, commanded by Admiral Marbor ongb, was drawn-into the thickest of tho fight. Two'mnsts were soon shot away, and the mainmast fell with a fearful crash upon tbe deck. Admiral Narborougb saw that all was lost unless he could bring up his ships. from the right. Hnsti ly scrawling nn order, he called for vol nnteers to swim across the Idling water, uuder tbo hail of shot nnd shell. A dozen sailors nt once offered their services, and nmoug them a cabin bny. "Why," said the admiral, "what can you do, my fearless lad?" "I can swim, sir," the boy replied; I be shot, I can be easier ppared tbau nny one else." N-trborongh "hesitated, his men were few, and bis position was desperate. Tbe boy plunged into the sea amid tbe cbei rs of tbe sailors, and was soun lost to sigh'. The battle raged fiercer.nnd ss lime'went on defeat seemed inevitable. Hut jint as hope was fading athniiileringrnnnrn ado wns heard from the right, and the reserve was seen bearing down npon Ihe enemv. I(y sunset tho Dutch fleet were scattered far nud wide, nud tbe cabin boy, the hero of tbe hcur, was called to receive the honor duo him His modest nnd bearing so won tbe heart of tbe old admiral that he exclaimed: "I shall live to neoyou have a fl.igsbip of your own."
