aud to give an unvarnshod view Of life in Calilor

if he is as saving and industrious as at home, u
man can save here, at the end Of the year, four
times what he could in the States.
' But the trouble is, very few. comparatively,

THE Lost AERoNAUT.- Since the commence
ment of the search for the remains of Mr..
Thurston, the lost aeronaut, in the swamps OF
Michigan and Canada, two bodies have been
found, out neither was identified as that of Mr..
Thurslon. a correspondent of the Detroit
Free Press, rejecting on his srd fate, has been
induced to compute the time he would be in
falling to the earth; his mean velocity, as we'll
as the momentum with which he would strike
the earth. His elevation was thought TO be
three miles when he was last seen, and assuming
this to be the distance he fell, it would only re-
quire thirly-one and half seconds for him 10
reach the earth, mean velocity Of 495 feet per
second, Assuming his weight to be 100 lbs.
he would strike the earth with a momentum
equal to 100, 800 pounds, or little more than 81
sons power sufficient to scatter his body, bone
and muscle into atoms SO minute as scarcely to
be perceptible. if not to bury him deep into the
earth.

Miss Margatot, was it your asked the
tsacheG
at was,'' was the quiet reply.
And was you aware of what said about
that this moning?" We thought he spoke anx-
iously, but il he did, Mag. did not appear to
notice it, for she replied,
You said that any one who should throw a
SNOWFALL or otherwise tease Arthur Clemens
should be severely punished on the hand with a
ferule.' She almost smiled as she made this re.
ply, and saw the look Of annoyance that crossed
Mr.. Hunters face as he heard it, Willingly
would he have freed himself from enforcing the
command. But the eyes OF the whole school
were upon him and he could not, and with
some embarrassment he called her to the floor,
which command she obeyed without hesitation
the slightest smile playing around her rosy lip,
as she held out her soft, white hand to receive
the promised punishment.
Mr.. Hunter took the little hand in his own,
and am sure he squeezed it more shan was 1t
all necessary, andSseeming to forget what his
duty was, looked first at the hand, and then in
Miss Mays eyes, till she turned round with such
a comical expression on her face that laughed
outright and all the school Joined. This ap-
peared to arouse Mr., Hunter, and with almost
a sigh he took up the ierule and raised it, but
the hand which held it, dropped to his side as il
nerveless.
Miss Margaret" he began. 81 do most
earnestly regret the necessity Of Furnishing you
~ know it, said Mag ccolly.
At this answer, his face flushed crimson, and
again he rasel the ferule, and again it refused
to strike the delicate hand.
"Mss Norton,' he began again, "will you
promise never"-a decided shake Of the head
interrupted him.
Then do not see that can avoid punish
ing you according to the rules of school"
You can not said Mag, quietly.
Again the ferue was raised, and this time it
fell softlys gently on the open palm-once,
twice. three times, and then he said, "you can
get your seat
How d,eadfully he did squeeze my hand" ,"
said Mag. TO me as she took her seat, as if moth
ing had happened.
Shortly after this our school closed, and soon
after, Mr.. Hunter left US, but not before he had
made Mag. promise TO become his wife. And
so in the next autumn, on her 18th birthday,
they were married. year after visited them,
and Mag. told me that the first time she saw our
teacher, she determined to marry, aud so she did.

Hoe Out your Row"

One lazy day, farmers boy
Was hocing out the corn,
An moodily had listened long,
To hear the dinner horn;
The welcome blast was heard at last,
And down he dropped his hoe,
But the good man shouted in his ear:
My boy. hoe out your row."
Although "hord one " was the row.

He seized again the hoe,
Aud the good man smiled again TO see
The boy hoe out his row.

And proved the moral to the end,

At last will nobly tell,
Take courage, man! resolve You can,
And strike a vigorous blow;
In life's great field of varied toll.
Always hoe out your row!

FRIENDS IN PRosP ERITY.-One OF the hardest
trials OF those who fall from atfluence and honor
10 poverty and obscurity, is the discovery that
the attachment Of so many in whom they con-
fded, was pretense, mask, to gain their own
ends, or was a miserable shallowness. Some
times, doubtless, it is with regret that these
upon whom they have fawned but they soon
forget them. Flies leave the kitchen when the
dishes are empty. The parasites that cluster
about the favorte of fortune, to gather his gifts
and climb by his aid, linger with the sunshine,
but scatter at the appearance of storm, as the
leaves cling to tree in summer weather, but
drop off at the breath Of winter and leave il
naked to the stingiug blast. Like ravens set
tied down for banquet, and suddenly scared by
a noise, how quickly at the first sound Of calam-
ity, these superficial earthlings are mere specks
on the horizon
But true friend sits in the center. and is
for all times Our need only reveals him more
fully, and binds him more closely to US. Pros
perity and sdversity are both revealers, the diff
ference being that in the former our friends
know us, in the latter we know them. But not
withstanding The insincerity and greedineSs
of esteem and tellow-yearning than is ever out
wardly shown. There are more examples of
uuadulterated affection, more deeds Of silent
love and magnanimity, than is usually supposed.
Our mistortunes bring 10 our sides real frleds,
before unknown. Benevolent impulses, where
we could not expect them, in modest privacy,
enact many scene of beautiful wonder amidst
plaudits Of angels.-North american ReuieU.
