MISERS' UHTEFS AND nEKOISM.' Some Tonrhlnic Inatanrea of the Devotion ml nmvry at the Men Who Work In Mines, S.iraunl PHrasol, writing in the Nine tai li Cet.tiiry, sajs: I remember see init one poor woman a day or two after the explosion at the Edmunds or Swaith Main pit. The dead body of her hus band waa then lying in the mine; but she had children the daily work of life must be done, even by her. She wanted pan which, nearly full of dirty water stood near her floor unon a stone. ' shall, I suppose, never foreet fit is many years ago now) the fnr-off ook in her eyes as she approached the pan ; her whole figure was the expression of one without hope, tlie very embodiment of aespnir; sue raised tue pan by tne edge, utterlv c.trelesa that the fallinor water splflsbed her drrs and feet, and listlessly moved away. Her -rief was too deep for words or tnrs, and I turned away with a heart sick to see Buch suffeiine. and to know that she was but one of morp thnn a hundred in the same sad condition. CoLsider the men, their husbands, too, What like husbands arethevP Remem. b-r the one whose body was found in the Hartley mine, alter the accident to the engine beam, laying with Ms hard upon the side of which with the point of his pocketknife he had scratched a dying Diessnfi'e of love to his wife Sarah. Or that other husband who, going io thednrkin early morning to that same colliery, in deep depression of spirit winch he could not account for but only felt, turned back to kiss once more with tendernt ss his wile and children and then resumed his walk to the pit, which in two short hours became his livinar tomb for they did not die at once in this case, their fate hung in the bslnnce many days, during which our kind-hearte.1 queen constantly tele graphed inquiries about the possibility of saving iue men's live3. Do you want to know what sort of fathers some of these men areP Remembpr the man who, escaping with his bov and a comrade only this yenr (f think it was in the Seahatn col liery after the explosion), found the boy unable to go auv farther; I think he wns insensible. They could not carry him, and the boy's father was urged by bis comrade, who did escare, to come along willi him. What was the father's reply? " Nay," he suid, .'coking at tbe insensible boy, " I'll bide with the lad." And he did slay, and lather and son were found after many days lying side oy Bine in ccain. When the Edmunds Main explosion occurred which widowed somany scores ot poor women, there was a doubt, as there oflen is. wnether all the men and bov s in the pit had beef kiiled; there was a hope, very faint indeed but still a nope, Hi at there might be some men still alive in the pit: there was immi nentrisk of a second explosion which mieht occur r.t any mcmcnt, and the peril of poina down then was simply awful. Still some men might yet be tlim alive below. Vbat happened P v olunteers offered themselves to go down; the neet iul number were select ed ( think seven men); they took their nvi s in their Lanes, oui e unconscious of the hi rcisui of their cinduet because their moral attitude was simply that of so many others; they went down on their errand of mercy, and in a short time these men (whose names even were not given to the published acounts, so little surprising did their conduct ap pear to those who krew colliers) were added to the list ot the slain, for the dreaded explosion occurred ; and now, alas! there was no lor gcr room to doubt twi ill be.ow were numbered with the dead. Take another instance. When the !ast rireadiUl explosion took place at the Onks colliery, near Barnsly, which also til cd two hur.dn d men and boys, if I re-member rightly. I went iLtre inimediateiv, find what had happened? My fiiend Parkin Je ficock, mining en gineer, had been sent for alter the first e plosion had cecum d; it was one of exirMorclinavy violence and had com pli teiy destroyed the head near, and they were in momentary expectation of a second, as it 13 clear that the hrst had utterly deranged the ventilation; but here also the hope was clung to that some ot the men might still be alive in the pit and, aftermost nnxicus consid eration, it wns decided to incur the awful peril of descending the other shaft to see it it were happily so (scores upon scores of men's lives have been saved by these he roic dariugs of peril.) When the decision was taken, Mr. Jeffcock said : " I want eight men to go down with me; volunteers, stand forward." At once not eight but fifteen men stepped out Iron the crowd; they then rieked out and rejected the seven men ntIio had tbe largest famines, and bad to emplov the nolice to nut them back into the crowd, out of dan ger, tost the dreaded explosion siiould come even while they were getting reaoy logo cown; ana Mr. J encock niiC his eight companions (heroes every out of them and this thev would pminllv have been had they all returned alive") got ieaoj ar,u went oown. llipy li not ntcn aown onz colore another ex plosion took place, and they, too, were uuiuueruei wiiu me aeaa.

The landlord was sorry to inform them that all his larder contained of food had been bespoken bv a eentleman 'who was at that moment waiting upstairs, with his wire, to nave it served. Who was thoeentlenmn t The host could only tell them that he was an Irishman, and seemed to be a very Quiet, eood-natured and hnrmlpna hnrtv. (The captain was traveling in citizen's clothes.) "An Irish gentleman! A potato. with pepper and salt, will answer for mm. tio up and tell him so." But Boniface prelerred not to do so, "Then." cried one of the rartv- 'squire of the neighborhood, with more money than sense. " take un this watch to the gentleman, and ask him if he will send us word what's the time o' day, for we can't tell." It was a habit in that section, when one would intimate to another that he dicln t have mur-h faith in his good sense, or in his judgment, to show him a watch, and ak him to tell what's the time o'clock. The host, himself fond of fun, and feeling assured that the last callers would get the worst of it, took the watch a very valuable gold repeater- ana went upstairs ana aid tue errand blieti took the watch and looked at it. "By my lite! it's a beauty. Tell the gentlemen I'll be down presently, and shall take pleasure in expounding to them the mystery o' time-telling by the watch. And I'll fetch the watch with me." The host returned with the answer, and shortlv afterward carried up his guest's dinner. The 'squire was, for a Destrncllon of Timber. In hi evidence before the agricul tural commission of Canada, says the Toronto Glolt, Mr. Brown, ot Port Klein, expressed the opinion that tne for. st should be reclothed with fores, trees. He recommended the planting of large nurseries by the government, lrom which the people could obtain trees at a low price, and, also, that the Govern ment should replant the ctown lands, as is done in Australia and other countries. Mr. Brown has been encased in the study of forestry all his life, and what he said before the commission is worthy of serious attention.

Thousands ot men were employed dur ins; the winter months felling and cut tine trees, and in the summer rafting the logs down the streams or cutting them into lumber in the mills. Bangor, on the Penobscot, was once the busiest town in the United States. The river was lined with sawmills for miles, and 2.0CO vessels were emtnged in the carry ing trade. The forests for 200 miles up the river, and for many miles on either side, have been laid waste, and the " Old Pine Tree State " is no more than a figure of speech. Spruce, w hich rapid ly reproduces itself, is the lumber most generally manufactured the production on the Penobscot this year being ten times that of nine. In Michigan and Wisconsin the same reckless haste and waste are going on. The Saeinaw vallev. which formerly contained the largest and finest forests in Mtchisan. is bcina vapidly oepieteei.

After he had finished his meal Cap tain Bligh opened his portmanteau and took out two great horse-pistols, and placing them under his arm he took the watch in hand and went down into tbe barroom, where the sporting gentry still waited. "Ah, gentlemen, 1 give you a good day. And now, who is the man that wants the time o' dpyP I shall be de lighted to enlighten him." They didn't like the looks of the man at all. He carried the soldier in his every look ; and, i ust now, there was a good deal of the tiger manifest. "Come. come, eentleman I am Captain Bligh, at your service. A short time since the landlord brought to me this watch, accompanied by a message which 1 have come to answer as such a message richly deserves." And he sifimhcantly tapped his linger upon tne pistols. "Now. whose is the watch? is it yours, sirP ' to the 'squire nimselt. ihe souire denied the ownerstiip promptly.

You will par don me, I am sure. I thought the owner of the watch was bere."

The women of Calcutta are. as a rule. very bcautitul. in so far as we can recon cile beauty with the olive complexion, but fade rapidly after reaching the age of maturity. It is not infrequent that we see women at the age of twenty- five witn mrrowed Jowl and crow s feet visibly encroaching the corners of her large, lustrous black eyes; and at the age of thirty many have a decided stoon and decrepit gait, as if old age had laid his vandal hand heavily upon their shoulders. The decline is rapid, and within the space ot five years we behold a form, whereon beauty had loved to sit enthroned, now rav ished by the mercile-s grip of decay. Not old age, however, for this early decline is due to two causes: the very early and tender age at which nuptials are performed nnd the de structive influences of the climate.

A Long Lost Lover One rarely meets a bit of more touch ing romance than is found in the follow ing story that comes fnm Wales: nears ago some weisn miners, in ex nloring an old pit that had long been closed, found the body of a young man nressea in a iasuion Jong out ol date The peculiar action of the air of the mine bad been such as to preserve the body so perfectly that it appeared asleep rather than dead. Tbe miners were fiuzzled at this circumstance. No one n the district had been missed within their remembrance, and at last it was tesolved to bring the oldest inhabitant an old lady past her eightieth year, who had lived single in the village the whole of her life. On being brought into the presence of the body a strangeacene occurred. Itie old lady fell on the corpse, kissed and addressed it by every term of loving en- denrment. couctied in the language ot a bvsone generation. He waa her only love. She had waited for him during her long lifs. She knew that he had not forsaken her. The old woman and the joung man had been betrothed sixty vears before. The lover had disap peared uiynenousjy, and sue nad Kept faithful during that long interval. Tim' had stood still with the dead man, but Imd left its mark on tho living woman. 1 lie miners who were present were a rough sot. but verv gently nnd with tearful eves thev removed the old lady to her house, and the game night her faithful spirit rejoined that of her long lost love. Words of Wisdom. Minds which never rest are subject to many digressions. Tho greatest works are performed, not by force, but by pei severance. There is, in all this cold and hollow wn id. no fount of deen. strong, death less love, save that within a mother's heart. We should often Lnve reason to be ashamed of our most brilliant actions, if the world could see the motives from which they spring. Politeness is to goodness what words are to thought. It tells not o lly en the manners, out on the mind and heart; it renders the feelings, the opinions, tti words moderate and gentle. Snea ins much is a sign of vanity. for he that is lavish in words is niggard in deed. He that cannot refrain from much speaking is like a city without walls, and less pains mthe world a man ciir.nnt, t, ike thnn to his tongue: there- lore, if thou observe this rule in all as semblies thou shall seldom err.

This river takes its rise among the forests near the summit ot the Oreen mountains, at a heigut ot some 2,000 feet above the level of the sea, and, flowing southerly forty or fifty miles, empties into the Connecticut river about two mih-s north from the southern bounderv of the State During a hot summer day the sides o! the deep valley of this river reek with intense heat, and cause a flow of moist air upward toward the summit ot the mountain region, from the valley of the Connecticut, and al o from tho sea. This moist air, meeting with the general cur rent from the southwest, piles up an im. mense mass of cuniulous cloud of many square miles in extent. So long as tho intense heat prevails this cloud increases in size, grows blacker with its dense vapor, and casts a gloomy, lurid glare over the face of nature, darker than that of any eclipse.

Among other bad omens in India may be mentioned a snake or jackal crossing one spam; hearing a person cry when you are going anywhere; the cawing of a crow, and the crying of a kite; a cat crossing one's path, and the seeing an empty pitcher. As compared with the bad, there are but lew good omens. Among these may be mentioned the fol lowing: The meeting of a dead body being carried away, and no one crying with it: seeing a pitcher with a i-one attached to it, or a Brahman carrying a iug ef holy water from the Ganges; a lizard creeping up one's body; hearing a bride cry when she is leaving her parents and going to live with her bus band : hearing the bell ot a temple strike. or a trumpet sound when one is setting out on a journey ; a crow perched on a dead body floating down the river, and a fox crossing one's path.

The way to stop the flow of blood from a bad wound has been so often Eointed out that it. is generally known, utit is best illustrated by an actua example. When people injured and bleeding are able to help themselves by a simple process, they should certainly love their lives well enough to do so.

Recovering consciousness, but half dazed, he found he was com pletely away from immediate help, and that blood was gushing from his leg in jets, showing that an artery was severed. Painfully raising himself, he found his handkerchief, he tied it around the wound in such a way as to stop tue flow and in order to secure additional tightness, ran his swotd-hnndle under the handkerchief, and with all his power twisted it around and held it so until tbe surgeon came on the battle field.

Hugo Grundii, a youna; Viennese shopman, is iairly entitled to a promt nent Dosition as one of the more eccen trie suicide's of latter days. Worily matters had eone badly with the un for lunate youth lor some time past, and it would appear ttiat. anout a wees ago, he found himself without employment. heaviiy in debt and absolutely impe cunious. Suc; being His intolerable con dition, he resolved to die, but not of hunger. On the contrary, he made up his mind to enjoy one unarty meal, aud then to emit the word upon a Iul stomach. He therefore betook himself to Z jgernitz i iestaurant, in the Shotten gttsa, and ordered a sumptuous repast. How vigorous was his appetite may be gathered from the lactt iiatne spent near ly two hours at table, during which time he consumed a golasch with dumplings, a disLlul of stewed Kidneys, a huge black pudding, an entire portion of braised beef, four small loaves, a quart of lager beer and three pints of claret. When he had finished this Ganran tuesque meal, he carefully folded up his napkin, laid it on the table boside his empty plate, drew a revolver out of ins breast pocket oDd, setting the muzzle of the weapon against his left breast, Bhot himself through ttie heart. His dinn. r bill whs paid next day by a near relative, who ident Aid hi3 body at the dead house, to which it was conveyed from the restaurant, and who, having been made aceiuainted with the peculiar cir cumstances of the suicide, honorably tiubtencd to discharge Hugo Grundei's Jat earthly liability.
