And make pursuit, where he did mean no chase.
shakespeare.
Eagerly enjoying the cool, thrilling breezes
that swept down the valleys of the Laurine,
Zera stepped forward on her journey. The
early gray of the morning was yet abroad on
field and fell, while the carol of the early
birds lent their charms of varied minstrelsy
to the solitary youth who rapidly pursued his
way.
For near an hour Zera walked on, now
stopping to pluck a flower that grew by the
wayside, and then stretching out the vigorous
young limbs in a race.over the soft, grassy
turf
At length the sound of rapidly approaching
hoofs struck upon her ear, and looking up she
beheld Holden, mounted on a splendid bay
horse, broad in the chest, small in the head,
delicate in each slender limb, and with the
nostrils quivering as though they shot forth
jets of fame. he lead another by the bride,
smaller, and of different color from the one
be bestrode, but almost his exact counterpart
in the splendid points that denoted both
speed and action.
"Ahi what splendid animalsl" exclaimed
Zera as she gazed on the horses, whose gallant
appearance would have won admiration from
one less devoted to these fine creatures than
herself.
eyes, indeed they are, and cost a good round
price. too, let me tell you !" rejoined her COM
panion.
"That matters not; but you procured guns,
tool" said the youth, his eyes resting on two
heavy rifles which Holden carried before him.
eyes, my lady, 1 thought it best to pro-
vide against an emergency. Ihave here also
all the ammunition we require, and with our
revolvers and knives, 1 think we are pretty
well armed"
81 think so, too; but let US set forward, for
before another dawn we must be more than
hundred miles from this spot"
The steeds quivered beneath the spur, and
sprung away. On, over hill and valley, over
wild ravine and beautiful savannah, through
woodland and prairie-on, on, in their swift
career. The sun has mounted high in the
heavens-Smithton and Sedalia are passed on
the right hand, and far in the distance the tall
summit of Mount Tebo breaks on the vision.
Thirty miles have been passed-more than
that, and still on, on over the grassy plain
on until the trees are no longer behind them,
and the eye sees nought but the green prairie,
and the blue canopy arching overit-on, across
the center Of that vast circle, which has for its
boundery the whole horizon. On all that
wide plain but two objects appear, the flying
foam of the dapple steed and the dark horse
man that followed 1t is long wild ride,
cruel gallop-but it must be done; the goal
must be won ere spur is stayed or the rein is
pulled.

The Trumpet smith.

tFrOm the Galaxy for May.I
Day after day, blow het, blow cold,
At his bench, close by the window-slll,
Steadily works the trumpet smith,
Steadily, still;
Fitting the valves of q silver horn
That coils like snake round his naked arm,
And the valves TO the touch Of his ready hand
Work like charm.
Blow, trumpet smith ring out one blast;
One tuneful blast pause to hear"
But never a note from his bugle-horn
Falls on my ear.
Never a sound of cadent music
That might bring a tear or smile;
The clink of the hammer hear, hear
The shrek Of the file.
Unto his lips he lifts his pipe,
And blows through his teeth an azure cloud !;
But never blows in the bugle-horn,
Or soft or loud.
Unto his lips he lifts anon
The potbellied jug Of tawny beer,
But never the dumb, vexatious horn
long to hear.
And when, rome night, in the music hall
The great Herr this, or Signor that,
From the silver horn solo breathes,
Now sharp, now fat,
Gloved hands in ecstacy will beat,
Lorgnettes on the lucky wight will bear;
But never word of the trumpet smith,
Nor thought, nor q care.
Bright eyes TO the players clsng will flash,
Soft eyes 10 his whispered notes grow dim,
But never =" Who forged yon wizard horn
Tell me Of him."

rNc1ySB Co.OpERATIvE SOCIETIES.

In 1874, some quiet, earnest lab0rcrs Mt Koch
dale. England, established cooperative store
for the sale of staple articles of first quality,
which was so successful, Notwithstanding I'M
mensc cdiscouragementatthe the outset that there has
been host of imitators. Upon this, Parliament
passed certain laws for the regulation OF these
establishments, and required, among other
things, that yearly statement should be made
of their business and financial condition III
appears from these reports, though they are
acknowledged to be incomplete, that up TO last
wear the total number of these societies was
9iO that during the year &c were dissolved ana
o6t new ones formed The number OF mem-
hers WAS 3.432, and the amount OF money
they turned in was about SlsOCO,OOO.
In Lancashire, which is the birthplace of CO.
oncration. there are IA societies, but many are
small. During the year these sold goods TO
the amount of s. 100000. The profits are ap-
nl;cd to interest on shares, to dividends to
members, ard occasionally TO non-members,
but who are patrons and to the establishment
Of reading-rooms. The appropriation to the
last item has varied from 800 to $3.50. The
Oldham society gave away $1,000, the Rochdale
Pioneers, $500 Al these societies are con-
fined to the simple object of supplying to olc
members articles of prime necessity, or winch
come into daily use. Managed with common
prudence, ard by men of sense, there is
no reason why they should fail. There are
n few other establishments, however, which en-
gage in manufactures, and which come directly
in competition with heavy capitalists. These,
too, should succeed if judiciousy managed; but
we have no details of their operations.
TO show how successful and even popular
co0ocration has become, we will note that
within two or three years the middle, and even
some of the higher classes in London, have cs-
tablished societies among themselves. Thus the
civil servants of the crown have two In ge
stores, one in the city, and one at the West
End. The city store il open to Government
clerks aud their friends, who sometimes are OF
much higher rank. The West End is composed
of such members as clergymen, and officers OF
the army and navy. The success of both these
has been far beyond expectation, and 1t Is con-
ceded that the whole system is indebted to the
humble individuals who fought their way as
the Rochdae Pioneers. Perhaps after time
business-m and others of standing and means
in the cities of the United States NAV think 1t
worth while to avail themselves of the mani
fest advantages of cooperation.
