tJrFING FOR A PREMIUM.-kohl, In
his Russia" mentions the following
curious anecdote The emperor wished
to illuminate the Alexander Column in
a grand style; the size of the round
lamps was indicated, and the glasses
bespoken at the mandatory where
the workmen exerted themselves in vain
and almost blew the breath out of their
bodies in the endeavor to obtain the
desired magnitude. The commission
must be executed, that was self-evident,
but how? A great premium was offered
to whoever should solve this problem.
Again the human bellows toiled and
pulled, their object seemed unattaina-
bic; when at last a long-bearded Rus
sian stepped forward and declared that
he would do it.; he had strong and
sound lungs, he would only rince his
mouth first with little cold water, to
refresh them. He applied his mouth
to the pipe and pufed to such purpose
that the vitreous ball swelled and
swelled nearly the required dimensions,
up to it beyond it. "Hold, hold, cried
the lockers on, 9you are doing too much ;
and how did you do il 1t auw The
mAttss Is ample enough" answered the
long beard; abut first, where is my
premium ~ And when he had clutched
the promised bounty, he explained. He
had retained some Of the water in his
mouth, which had=passed thence into
the glowing ball, and there becoming
steam, had rendered him this good

From the National Era
THE DREAM OF ARGYLE.

he unfortunate Duke Of Argyle, who sharee
the disastrous defeat Of Monmouth, under james
II, was found sleeping by the officers whit
came to lead him to the scaffold-l
Earthly arms no more uphold him;
On his PRISONS stony floor,
Waiting death in calmest slumber,
Rests the great Mac-Cullum More.
And he dreams ream Of boyhood,
OF his dear loved Argyleshire,
OF his bold, heroic clansmen,
or his plumed and plaided sire.
Once again, with pulses beating,
Hears the wandering minstrel tell
How Msszoss, on Inverary,
Thicf-Eke from his mountains fell.
Now he stands, in plaid and bonnet,
In the grim and sombre hall,
And again the ruddy freight
Sees he on the armor fall.
Down the glen, beyond the castle,
Where the Inns white waters shine,
He, the heir of naughty Argyle,
Meets young Effie Of Loeb Fine
Efie, with her snooded tresses,
And her timid eye Of blue,
At the cleaning, to her trysting,
In the bracken valley true.
Now he hears sad lamenting-
Harpers for his mother mourn,
As, with floating plume and pinion,
To the burial cairn she's borne.
Then snoa. his dreams are darker
Sounds Of battle 6ll his cars,
And the pibroch's mournful wailing
For his fasher's fall he hears.
Wild Lochabcr's mountain echoes.
Wall in concert for the dead,
Ard Loeb Awe's hoarse waters murmur
Fer the Campbells glory fed.
Fierce and bold, the Goddess tyrants
Trample the apostatc land,
While her poor and faithful remnant
Wait for the Avengers hand
Once again At Invcrary,
Years Of weary exile DER,
Amsd 10 lead his scattered clansmcn,
Ssa.ds the bold Mac-Cullum More.
Once again TO battle calling,
Sound the war-pipes through the glen,
Asd the courtyard Of Dunstaifnage
Rings with tread Of armed men.
All il lost. the Goddess triumph.
And the faithful ones and true,
Fum tie scafiold and the prison,
Covenant with God anew.
On the darkness Of his dreaming,
Great and sudden glory shone;
Over bonds and death victorious,
Sta,ds he " his Fathers throne.
Frsm lie radiant host Of martyrs,
Noes Of joy and praise he hears,
Songs of his poor lands deliverancc,
Sounding from the future years
Lo. be wakes. but airs celestial
Battle him in immortal rest;
And be sees, with unsealed vision,
Scctland's cause with victory bIest.
Shining host attend and guard hun,
Az he leaves his prison door,
And 70 deafh, as to triumph.
Walls The great Mae-Cunum More.

Su1cIpE.-Fsmalc Firmness.-A young
girl employed in large manufacturing
establishment at Orleans, in France,
was sent on an errand to a certain house
on arriving at which, she knocked, but
nobody came to the door, 1t being
partly open. however, she entered, and
finding nobody in the first room, pro-
ceeded to the second, and no person
being in that, to the third, where, a,
the further end of it, she saw man
suspended by the neck, and apparently
dead. With great presence of mind,
she cried loudly for help. and with heI
scissors cut the cord, and managed tC
place the suicide on a bed in the room
A physician was called in, and by a
prompt application of resuscitating re.
medies, the person was restored to life
He was the son of the owner of the
house, who was a man of wealth and
in the course of few days he recov'
cred his serenity, and nothing was
further from his thoughts than suicide
The young girl was at her occupation
and thought no more or but little OF the
occurrence. One day, however, she
received note from the father of the
young man whom she had cut down
requesting her to come to his house
Without suspecting for moment wha1
was intended, she went and on hel
arrival was thus addressed by the father
MY son, whom you saved from certain
death, loves you, and wishes to marry
you. Will you CONSENT have made
myself acquainted with your circum
stances. You are respectable, but poor
My son is rich; you will never know
want. Reflect upon what say" "Nt
further reflection is necessary" replied
the young girl. at is to no purpose
that your SON is rich he wished to hang
himself, and may wish to do it again
Nothing can remove that objection
She was inexorable; and the danger
was, that her determination might agar
drive her lover to the rope.
