The Heroic Miner,

poor but pious miner in Cornwall, was
down deep in the earth with another miner
sinking a shaft. They were blasting rocks, and
their custom was, after the rock was charged,
for one first to ascend in the bucket, and the
otherto wait until the buckle ct came dow n again.
then ignite the fuse, get into the bucket, give
the signal to the man above, and be drawn to
the top before the explosion. In the present
case. the train unexpectedly took fire. The
fuse was Missing, both men rushed to the buck
ct, got in and gave the signal to hoist but the
man above could not draw them both. They
at once saw their danger; both could not es-
cape, and delay was death. One of the mi
ners was pious. Looking for moment at his
companion and stepping from the bucket, he
said, Escape for thy life; in a few moments
shall be in hedUen.' The bucket was drown up
and the man safe.
Eager to know the fate of MS magnanImo Gus
companion, he bent over the mouth of the
shaft. Just then the explosion rumbled be-
low, and splinter struck him on the brow,
leaving a mark he win carry to the grave
They soon commenced laboring among the
fallen rocks to extricate the corps. At last
they heard a voice. Their friend was yet
alive. They reached him and found him with
out injury or scratch. All that he could tell
of the fearful scene was, that the moment his
friend was gone, he sat down and took up a
stone and held it before his face When asked
what induced him to let his companion escape,
he replied. 81 beliered my soni 10 be safe; ,ras

Irish Anecdote.

Some years ago, when the beautiful painting
of Adam and Eve exhibited in Ireland it
became the chief topic of conversation. FL
nally, poor, iiliterate peasant went to see it,
The light was so arranged as to reflect on the
picture, and to leave the spectator in darkness.
al The peasant. as he entered the room to see
his first parents, was struck with so much as
tonishment. that ne remained speechless for
some moments. He stood like statue, and
as though his feet were incorporated with the
oaken floor of the room At last, with an eff
fort he turned roundto his acquaintance and
said y s'gT ~ @agi2 - aa' 1s1

They hunt more for the possom or the coon,
On the meadow, the hill and the shore,
They sing more by the glimmer of the moon,
On the bench by the old cabin door:
The day goes by like shadow DER the heart,
With sorrow, where all was delight,
The time have come. when darkies have to part
Then, my old Kentucky home, good night
.-t Weep more, etc
The head must bow and the back will have to bend.
Wherever the darkey may go,
A few more days and the trouble all will end
In the field where the sugar cane grow;
A few more days for to tote the weary load
"a. No matter, twill never be light
few more days will we totter on the road
Then, my old Kentucky home, good night
Weep more, etc.
