The LIaHTNINo ON THE CREST OF THE
Rocky MoUNTAINs.-Gray's peak Is the
home of the thunder. The lightning knows
it as the eagle KNOWS his nest. Being the
highest of all peaks of the Sierra, 1t attracts
the clouds, which almost daily gather
round its head and burst upon it, so that it
sometimes tries the nerves of the boldest to
run the gauntlet of these storms. At such
times the whole mountain seems charged
with electricity. Several who have been
caught there at such moment told me
how it shot through them like needles it
buzzed about their heads like bees; they
could hear it whistllng like gale through
the rigging of ship. The guides, being
more accustomed to such things, are less
terrified, but tourists are sometimes para
lyzed with terror If not with the shock, and
fall to the ground, unable to move. Even
the guides sometimes think II matter of
prudence TO throw themselves fiat upon
their faces, not TO present point for the
lightning to strike. The poor brutes,
taught by dumb instinct, turn heads from
the storm and let it beat. If party were
caught on the summit in long snow ST orm,
it is probable that they would perish. In
the binding drifts, it would be impossible
TO find the path, and no mortal strength
could hold out for many hours. Such ac-
cidents do not occur, because the guides
are on the watch when they see a storm
coming up, bid all run for their lives.
They fly with speed, and come down often
trembling and afraid, as IT, like Moses

cloud, and seen the awful power Of Cod

A GOOD BUsTLE SToRY.-A merry party
of ladies' and gentlemen had narrow es-
cape from terrible death among the
Thousand Islands of the ST. Lawrence re-
Gently, but, as it turned out, they were
saved by the presence of mind and hero
ism of one of the ladies. The way of it
was this: They were out in yacht at a late
hour in the evening, when the clouded sky
rendered ii almost impossible to distin-
guish objects on the water at a short dis
lance. They were sailing about thought
lossly, and enjoying themselves as such
parties are in the habit of doing, when sud-
denly n dark object loomed up before them,
which was evidently large steamer A
collision seemed inevitable, unless the
steamer could be sgnaled to change her
course, as it was impossible fer the sailing
craft to do so. The party were in a terrible
dilemma, as, except few matches, there
seemed TO be no means at command TO pro-
duco light. The young ladies, except
one, screamed with terror, and fearful
catastrophe seemed on the point of con-
summation. A slight rustling, however,
was observed in the direction of the silent
young lady. No one could see what she
was doing, but she soon handed a roll of
paper TO one of the gentlemen. In a mo-
ment it was ablaze, the steamers course
was cha nged, and the party were saved
When they recovered from their fright
there was naturally much speculation as to
where that important roll OF paper came
from, and 1t finally leaked out that the fair
one had heroically sacrificed her hustle to
secure tho safety of her companions. The
incident has given rise TO a good deal OF
good -natured gossip, and abundantly
proves that even lady's hustle is not with
out its place when occasion requires.

WORK .f.N'D TEfI.yk

Hammers, tonss, anvils ringing,
waking echoes all day long,
In doep-toned voice are singing
Thrifty Iabor's iron song.
From thousand Ay-whees bounding,
From thousand humming looms,
Night and day the notes are sounding
Through the misty fact'ry rooms.
Hstenl workmen, to their play
There's advice in every clnk;
stillthoy're singing-still they're saying
Whilst ye labor, learn to THINK"
Think what power lies within you,
For what triumphs ye are formed,
IT, in aid Of bone and sinew
Hearts by emulation warmed,
Mighty thoughts yo WOO and cherish,
What shall hold your spirits down?
what shall make your high hopes perish7
why shall ye mind Fortunes frown7
DO you wish for pront, pleasure7
Thirst at Learning's fount to drink?
Crave ye honor, fame or treasurer
Ye the germs havo-work and think!
Think but not alone Of living,
Like the horse, from day to day; ~
Think but not alone Of giving
Health for pelf or soul for payl
Think! Oh be machines no niger
Thought supplies the mind with food,
Think twill make you fresh and stronger;
Link you to the great and good!
Thought cxalts and lghtens labor,
Thought forbids the soul to sink
