all the time he was making the chain, only
the trouble and the pain of making it. Then
he brought it to the monarch, and he said,

him nothing to do it with, but sent him
away. Again he worked on, and made it
twice as long. He brought it up again, and
the monarch sail, "Go and make it longer
STILL Each time he brought it, there was
nothing but the command to make it longer
still. And when he brought it up at last the
monarch said, 'Take it, bind him hand and
foot with it, and cast him into a furnace of
fire." There was his wages for making tho
chain. Here is a meditation for you tonight,

keep on making fresh links to this chain;

'The Shadows we Cast"

In this great world of sunshine and shad-
ows,w are constantly casting shadows, on
those around US, and receiving shadows from
them in return. There is no pathway in life
which is not sometimes in the shade. and
there is no one who walks over these paths,
it matters not which way they tend, who,
does not now and then, cast his shadow with
the rest.
How often do we. by somo thoughtless
word or careless act, cast a shadow on some
heart which is longing for sunlight? How
often does the husband, by cold greeting,
cast gloom over the happy trusting face Of
his young'wife, who, it may be, has waited
anxously for the first sound of his footsteps.

Sir. John Franklin.

The most interesting feature ofthe steamer
Canada's news, is the return of Lady FIak-
Inns Arctic Expedition, bringing authentic
intelligence of the fate Of Sir John Franklin
and his ill-fated crew Sir John died on King
Williams Island, June IA, 1s47. Franklin
sailed from England with the Erebus and
Terror, May 10 1s45. On July 9Th, the same
year, his expedition was seen by awhaleship
in latitude "a deg. As min., about the centre
of Baffin's Bay, moored to an iceberg, and
waiting the opening of Lancaster Sound
This was the last time his vessels were ever
seen until their remains were discovered by
the late explorers. The first expedition in
search of Franklin was despatched from
England early in 1s4s, consisting of the screw
steamers Plover and Herald. A second
(overland) expedition was started the same
year, and third, under command of Sir J.
Ross, set out a few months afterw ,rds. In
1850, several new expeditions were fitted
out--the third, or perhaps the fourth. being
the Bherings Straits expeditions. consisting
of the Investigator and the Enterprise. The
next was the Baffin's Bay expedition, con-
sisting of the Resolute and Assistance, the
Pioneer and the Intripd two sailing ves-
sells and two screw prrpellers. The next
was an expedition fitted out by private sub
scription (April, 1S5O) commanded by Sir
IL TalH liz, ol,
two seperate expeditions the same year-the
Lady Franklin, the Sophia, and the Prince
Albert. The next, and one of the most in

the American vessels, Advance and Rescue.

Why don't Ladies learn to Cooke

On all sides we hear complaints of the diff
ticulty of finding and of retaining when
found, cook who can roast leg of mutton
and make batter-pudding or pea-soup. In
point of fact, we have heard of ladies who
have it in serious contemplation to dispense
with servants altogether. as the least troub
lesome alternative. Without wishing mat
ters carried quite SO far, we are convinced
that many of our fair friends would lose
nothing, either in point of responsibility or
happiness, while they could add at least one
third to the effective incomes of their hus-
bands, if they were to spend a little more
time in their kitchens, experimenting the
preparation Of the family dinner, instead of
contenting themselves with ordering it-if,
indeed, they condescend to do even that
Some forty years back, ladies were driven to
shoemaking as fashionable way of killing
time. Why not try little cooking? Thanks
to the modern stoves, with their nicely ar
ranged skilets and stew-pans, which science
and mechanical skill have substituted for the
blazing kitchen hearth of other days. young
ladies of the nineteenth century, just pass
ing its prime, may cook without soiling their
fingers or iniuring their compilations. Were
it not so, wo would not recommend them to
cook. We would rather live on bread and
cheese all the days of our lives

be observed that it is the middle and working
classes on whom we wish to urge the inoor

A Singular Adventure.

Once upon time trveler stepped into a
stage coach. He was young man starting
in life. He found six passengers about him.
all grey-headed and extremely aged men,
The youngest appeared to have seen at least
eighty winters. Our young traveller, struck
with the singular mild and happy aspect
which distinguished all his fellow passengers,
determined to ascertain the secret ofa long
life and art Of making old age comfortable:
he addressed the one apparently the eldest,
who told him that he had always led r.gu-
lar and abstemious life, eating vegetables and
drinking water. The young man was rather
daunted at this, inasmuch as he liked the
good things Of this life. He addressed the
second, who astounded him by saying that
he had always eaten roast beef, and gone to
bed regularly fuddled for the last seventy
years, adding, that all depends on regularity.
The third had prolonged his days by never
seekingor accepting Office: the fourth by res
olutely abstaining from all political or relig-
ious controversies, and the fifth by going to
bed at sunset and rising at dawn. The sixth
was apparently mich younger than the other
five--his hair was less grey, and there was
more oft placid smile, denotins perfect,
~ easy conscience, mantled his face and his
voice was iocund and strong. They were
all surprised to learn that he was by ten

the young traveller by saying;

his antagonist did to him. Sheridan used to

Kind Hearts.

Let but the heart be beautiful,
And | care not for the face,
heed not that the form may want
Pride, dignity, or grace.
Let the mind be filed with glowing thoughts
&, And the soul with sympathy.
And care not if the cheek be pale,
Or the eye lack brilliancy.
What though the cheek be beautiful,
1t soon must loose its bloom;
The eyes bright lustre soon will fade
In the dark and silent tomb:
But the glory of the mind will live,
Though the joyous life depart.
And the magic charm can never die
Ola true ard noble heart.
The lips that utter gentle words
Have beauty all their own,
And more / prize kindly voice
Than mtrsIe'S sweeter tone:
And though its sounds are harsh and shrill,
If the heart within beats free,
And echoes back each glad impulse,
'Tis all the world TO me.

A Hint forals Energe.,cy.

Mr.. j. PERRY Cole, professor of music,
residing at Arundel, was playing with four
penny piece, by jerking it out of his hand
into his mouth, when, by some accident, it
was drawn into the windpipe. He endeavored
by various means to remove the coin, but
unsuccessfully, and was naturally alarmed
at the circumstance. Immediately he sought
a neighboring surgeon, who administered
an emetic, but this failed to remove it, and
Mr.. Cole was appalled, by being told ''that
nothing more could be DONE" and it was
probable that modification would ensue. It
appeared that the fourpenny piece had be-
come wedged in edgeways, and his breath
ing was not interrupted, further than it pro-
duced kind OF wheeling noise, similar to
that in an nasthmetical person. After trying
every means to remove the impediment du-
ring the night. Mr.. Cole fastened to Chi
chester the next morning, where he was
called professionally; but being unable, from
pain and natural anxiety, to attend to his
duties, he called at the surgery of Mr.. G.. S.
Jones, who, by ausculation, could easily de-
tect the coin lying at the bottom of the wind
pipe. The same tale was told him as before,
and that modification would probably Sc. in
in two days. The only chance was to have
some chloroform administered, and endeavor
to remove it by external operation. This
was, indeed, sad news for young gentle
man in the prime of lile But previous to his
leaving Arundel, lady reminded Mr.. Cole
ofa similer accident occurring to Mr. Brunei,
the great engineer, VIII, in playing with his
children, got half sovereign in his windpipe.
The way in which that was removed, was by
placing that gentleman on his head and giving
a violent blow at his back Mr. Cole men,
toned this circumstance to Mr.. Jones and
his assistant, but both were somewhat doubt
ful of such an experiment. However, as
drowning man will catch at straw, so this
simple plan of removing the imprisoned coin
was tried. A cushion was placed on the
floor, the patients legs We're raised up into
the air, and a violent blow given at the back;
Immediately Mr. Cole shouted, "IIere iti 7!
And true enough, the fourpenny piece had
fallen from his mouth upon the floor To

moment, when he was probably snatched
