Sequences.

The following anecdote supplies an ap-
poSite illustration that in the business of
life plain words are preferable to obscure
ones;
A pcdantic old gentleman, odd and
peculiar in his habits, happened to want
a footman, and requested his nephew to
find him one. The nephew thought his
own valet eligible for the place, and de-
sired him to apply for it. The man was
attached to his young master, and left
reluctantly but, believing the change
wOnld be to his advantage, repaired to
the uncle, who, being confident that his
nephew would not recommend an inn
proper person, merely asked him if he
understood sequences. John was puz'
Zled. lie had htver heard the word be-
fore, and it did not sound like anything
belonging to table service, brushing
clothes or cleaning boots. He was as
much abroad as the sailor in Black
eyed Susan" who, having drpoSc1 on
Williams court martial to his mrSsnates
excelcn:e as a seaman, is next asked
what he can say of his moral character.
moral character, your honor? Why,
he plays the fiddle like an angel" John,
after similar hesitation, replied:
4" am not quite sure, sir, that I'M
derstand you; but if you will be pleased
to explain yourself, hope shall be
able to give you satisfaction"
IL mean," said the proposed new mas
ter, that when order you to lay the
cloth, you should comprehend thereby
everything connected with it, such as
knives, forks, spoons, etc. and SO upon
all occasions, not to do only what you arc
told in so many specific words, but to
let your mind take in the whole range OF
connecting appurtenanccs, dependencies,
sequences and consequences Of one thing
upon another"
John assured him that he would do his
best, and had no doubt Of pleasing him.
Accordingly he was hired, and for some
time they agreed perfectly. AT last, his
master, finding himself one morning sud-
denly i'll, ordered John to fetch nurse
as soon as possible. Instead Of returning
with all speed, he was absent for several
hours, and when at last he presented
himself, he received severe reprimand
Cxsts delay Waep hewas sent on business
that required idispalcn. John a,ted ua-
til his masters anger had abated little,
and then proceeded to justify his conduct
in the following manner:
~ went out and found the nurse, who
is below; thinking an apothecary might
be connecting appurtenance to a nurse
| brought one, who is below knowing a
doctor is usually dependence on an
apothecary, likewise fetched physi
clan, who is waiting; a surgeon is often
a sequence to doctor, and an undertaken
the consequence of all; Ihave, therefore
brough: them all together, and hope
have thoroughly understood and cxecut
cd your orders.
The story winds up by saying that the
old gentleman was so much pleased with
the humor of his man that he added q
codici' to his will, by which he left him
handsome legacy.

Conc OFT SsSm your beautiful home, my lore,
Come under the laurel tree
For the nightingale sings in the din, dark ~OodI
A sweet serenade to thee.
High up in the sky the round moon looks dsWa
On the rose-bedge all aglOw,
And your star that glimmers alone by its eide
10 watching for thee know.
There's fragrant hush on the summer air,
As the rises rustic in bloom,
Aad the lilies yield as they ewing in the breeze,
Their incense Of sweet perfume.
The viOIets lin their dark eyes as pass,
AS blue az thine own eyes be,
And lily, and rnse, and violet sweet
Are Watching and waiting for thee
Oh come, then, out from thy palace home,
Come out from thy perfumed halls,
I an waiting for thee, my lady-love,
IT'S the voice Of my heart that calls-
There are stars below-there is one above,
Smiling down with its white, pure bean,
Come forth-eome forth, and Outshine them all,
Thou star of my life-my dream!

RURAL RAPTUISES.

IT'S sweet at deWy eve to rove
When softly signs the western breeze;
AaA wandering mid the staTlit groCe,
To take pinch Of snuff and treeEe.
IT'S sweet to see in daisied fields
The fOcks aud herds their pleasure take,
But Sweeter are the joys they yield
In tender chop and juicy steak.
'Tis sweet to hear the murmuring sound
That from the vocal woods doth rise,
To mark the pigeons wheeling round,
And think how nice they'd be in pies.

You've often said your woman'S love
Was mine and mine alone;
while sitting meath the OAK, whose shade
Was round about u thrown,
Aud hand in hand together elSsped,
My head upon thy breast,
Ton spoke OS ever hArboriug
Love NJ welcome gUsSN;
But now I'm going far away
To rOam the tTAcklesS sea,
And much fear. when l atm gone,
You'll never think Of me.
The Spring again shall soon return,
With flowers bright and fair;
The happy birds again shall sing,
CarroIing In the air (;
The trees once more shall blossom forth,
The bees again shall hum;
The butterflies. on golden wings,
Shall in our gardens come,
The ivv, as IL days Of yore,
Shall hide the blasted tree,
But shall never emile again
II thou art lost to me.
Within my heart sad memory
Will mouTnful music bring;
And sorrows trembling fingers shall
Strike on its broken string;
And l will think Of happy hours
when you we're by my side.
When leaning on my shoulder, love,
You said you'd be my bride
Oh. then. dear one, when far roam,
Upon the Irackless sea,
Let me return to find you true
Unto yourself and me.

FORGIVENESS. Sir Walter Scott tells
characteristic anecdote of Highland for
giveness. You must forgive even your
bitterest enemy, Kenmuir, now, said his
cOnfessor to an old warrior, as he lay on
his death-bed. "Well, If Unjust, must"
replied the chieftain; and turning to his
son, he said, but my curse be on you,
Donald, If you forgive them"

SILVER MINING IN NoRwAY.-Thc sill,
yer mines Of the vicinity of Kongsberg,
Norway, are now attracting the attention
of the English mining public. 1t is re-
ported that an English company has pur-
chased the Anna Sophia district, and in
tends to work it in spirited manner.
Operations have been suspended there
since 1906. A correspondent Of the
London Mining Journal makes the fol-
lowing observations:
The kongsberg mines are unquestion-
ably very remunerative, but the State re-
tains in its own possession the very limit
tied territory where native silver is like
" to he found in sufficient quantity to
pay for working. A Norwegian COM
pany has for some years been exploring
the most likely district in the neighbor-
hood of the Kongsberg Mine, and every
year considerable calls have been made.
The other sets were taken up by spec1la-
tors without capital, on the chance of
selling them in London, though such
transfer is, by the conditions Of the auc-
ton at which the sets were acquired, IL
legal. No doubt silver exists beyond the
bounds of the Kongsberg sett. for innu-
merable trials by private parties, as well
as by the Government, prove it ; but the
quantity has been in every case made
quate to meet the expenses; and what
ever is found must be sold at fixed rate
to the royal smelting-housc.
