"ONLY A MINER."
THE STOIlt OF A GREAT SACRIFICE.
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.

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.
'Tell Marg'et,'"he shouted, ns the
kcbble'rose above his bend, tell Marg'et

whom she loves! I forgive you! but be

Tbe shaft gave" way, and nothing pre
sented itself to Tregear's gaze but n mass
of slate and' rubbish. 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."
The prediction was'fulfillo I when the
boy having become Admiral Cloudslry
Shovel, was knighted by the king.
