THE SOLDIERS WIFE.
4 THRILLING SKETCH.


collection, came to light on 4 trial
which took place some years since
in Ireland. The story looks like 4
fiction, but it is said TO be strictly
true. \ woman travelling along q
road to join her husband who was
a soldier quartercd at Ath!oue,
WAS joined by q pedler who was
going the same way. They enter
ed into conversation during walk
of some hours; and as the day be-
gan to wane, they agreed that they
should stop for the night at a
house OK entertainment, and pur-
Sue their pedestrian journey the
next day.
They reached an humble inn,
situated in q lonely spot by the
roadside, and tatiSaed by q long
days walk, they were glad to find
themselves under Il root. Having
refreshed themselves with the sub
stantial supper set before them,
they expressed q wish to retire.
They were shown into the travel
erS' room and went to rest in their
respective beds. The pc>;!cr, be-
fore retiring, had called the land
lord aside ana given in;o his keep
ing the pack which +" had un-
strapped from his back till morn
ing, telling him that it contained
4 considerable sum OF moueE ana
much valuable property. They
were not IouS in bed before the
peIlcr fell into i SQUAD sleep; but
the poo: woman, perhaps from
over-t;atiyuc, OF from thoughts of
meeting her husband next day. lay
awake. \ couple Of hours might
have passed, when she saw tic
door opcNcI, and 1 person entered
with light, which he screened
with his hand. She instantly y re-
cognizvd ID him one OF the young
men sac had seen bcivw->oM to
the landlord.

SAVING A FATHERS LIFE.-In
Maine, lately, which is great
lumber State, two boys went out
TO the woods with their father to
see him cut down trees. Through
q mistake in calculating how
tree he was cutting would fall, the
father was caught and pinned to
the ground, the tree lying across
his body.
At the fearful sight the boys
did not lose their presence Of mind,
but set 20 work with energy to
save their father. Some boys
would have exhausted th cir
strength in vain ciior1s to remove
the tree; others would have run
and screamed for help, and p1esn-
time the father would have died.
The boys did neither Of these
things. Can you guess how they
went TO work to save their fathers
life?
They commenced diggins a hole
Immediately under their father,
and in : very short time they re-
leased him from his awful sltua-
ton. Their coo!rcss aud wisdom
were the means OF saving the life
Of their parent. In sach an eraer.
gcncy how many boys would
think Of digging the earth from
under 4 mau pressed down to the
ground by tree?

therefore be well considered, especially with
reference to the point whether the saving pro-
duced by the purchase of cheap iron and other
articles Will compensate for the loss entailed by
the transportation Of the grain"
The importation Of Scotch pig to our
principal western cities during The past
year, together with increased domestic
production, has reduced the different
grades Of foundry iron in that region

decline in the premium on gold to-
gether with the increased facilities for
manufacture, independent of any rednc-
tion of duty, still further reductions in

that the clamor for cheap iron will be

OUR HARBOR DEFENCEs.-The board of
engineers for Notifications, which during the
past year has made series of experiments
with modem projecties upon iron shields and
earth and sand parapels, under the direction
of the engineer department, with the sane
ton of the Secretary of War, has submitted
to the War Department the results both of
their own experiments and those of foreign
governments, in the form of definite sys-
TEN for Strengthening harbor delences. The
more important recommendations are the
following:
First, arranging, whenever the site will
permit, icheaply- constructed barbette batter
ies with wooden platforms for guns, and with
outer breast high walls
Second, tie use of barbette gun carriages
which will permit depression of the gun be-
low the crest Of the parapet for loading. The
present system of barbette mounting does
not permit the protection of gunners by earth
parapets when the batteries are low and can
be closely approached.
Third, a more general use of moraars of
large calibre, than which nothing is more
effectual to prevent the occupation as an an
chOrage OF roadStea1s. 1t is believed they
may be made an efficient agent of the de-
fence of harbor channels against iron clads,
the decks of which are the most vulnerable
points. Sailors are more afraid of mortar
shells than other projectiles. The difficulty
OF hitting the objects is noted, but it is be-
lieved that most ship channels can be so GOV.
cred as to be exceeding dangerous, and that
the more terrible effect of successful shot
will compensate for inferior accuracy.
Fouth, the report treats of the great value
of tOrpedOeS as the cheapest most readily
