put Inere Calue uay WneH AllSIer wearied altogether of this treatment, and then he fell in love with Maggie.
 One night Mary dreamed dream that Alister was lying dead amongst the birch trees, and that she plainly saw his body lying stiff by the light of the aurora bore alis. So strong was the impression that she rose, dressed herself, and went away out into the night.
 There, as in her dream, the aurora was flashing and flaming across the sky from the north, and at a short distance the copse of birch trees. Into this she went as fast as possible as if led on by a magic hand, along the little footpath by the burnside. In the silence of the night she plainly heard voices talking, and by the light of the aurora she perceived two figures leaning against the trees. It was Alister and Maggie talking of the love they bore one another, and Mary over heard the words.
 Under those broken boughs there was terrible scene that night hard words spoken and sore hearts left; and for many day there were black clouds between the two girls.
 But it was not very long before Mary's lightsome nature again changed, and she found out that she liked Peter Black better than any one. This was partner in fishing smack with Alister McPhail, and she became engaged to him, and laughed at herself tor the anger she had felt with Maggie and Alister. So the clouds cleared off, and there was every prospect of peace and happiness, for Alister and Maggie loved one another truly and well. But when things looked brightest and happiest when the two girls were looking forward to the day that was to see them both married to those that they loved great black cloud arose without warning or notice {; and burst upon their heads. A few days before that fixed for their marriage, Peter and Alister were both drowned in the smack in terrible storm at sea. The two girls thus drawn together, olung to one another from that day. They made nc VOWS never te part, only they felt that their lives were to be passed together.
 They lived with Maggie's aunt, until she died at the age of a hundred and three. Neighbors about then died the houses about them fell into decay and ruin :; gradually the places where they had stood knew them no more; only the ivy and birch trees kept standing a few walls of the house where Ahster and Peter had lived. The cluster of houses were all swept away the dwellers in them dead and forgotten only these two lived on, drawn together by the strange bond made in youth, keeping the old house above their heads by the labor of their own hands the hard working hands which had toiled side by side through life to- wards death.
 What a strange thing is life 1 that two blooming lasses, hope, and vigor, youth and love, should come to be these two old women with every feeling numb or dead struggling and working for no end but tc carry their existence through another day. Did second thought ever cross them as they walked through the copse o birch trees, or did they ever watch the flashing, flaming aurora borealis.
 Does Maggie, the old woman of nearly ninety, ever think of youth and love, and Alister Does Mary ever think at all O those old daysi

Science in Ice.

In continuation of series ofinteresting experiments on the melting and regelation of ice, MT. Aitken, of England, has dis
 covered that solid bodies, of considerable size, may be introduced into blocks office, in such a manner as shall give the appear ance of their having been contained ill the liquid previous to the freezing. The phenomena of rsgelation, as described and illustrated by Professor Thompson, may be rendered clear Ly simple experiment. Over block of ice, either supported on two boards, placed nearly together, or held firmly between the jaws or oarpen- ter's vice, loop of fine wire is passed, to the lower side of which 8 suitable weight is attached. Thus arranged, the wire will cut its way into and finally through the block and yet not only will there be no division, but all traces of the passage of the wire will have disappeared, the ice remaining as solid as before. The cause of this retreeEing or regelation of the ice along the line of division Is explained by Professor Thompson, on the theory that the freezing-point of water is lowered by pressure, and also that ice has tendency to melt, when forces are applied which tend to change it's form. The ice being, therefore, at lower temperature below the wire, transfer of heat takes place from above, which, in turn, leaves the water that has passed around the wire at a temperature sufficiently below the freez- ing-point to cause it to again congeal, thus closing up the cavity made by the passage of the wire. In order to prove that the refreezing was due to the with drGwal of latent heat, from the overlying strata of water, MT. Aitken adopted the following means: When the wire above mentioned had passed halfway through the block, the loop was cut and the weight removed, thus leaving it enclosed in and surrounded by 6 wall of ice. To one end of this wire silver coin wss attached by its centre, and then drawn down against the surface of the block by the aid of weight attached to the op- posite end. Thus it was found easy to embed this coin in the centre of the block for, as the metal was a ready conductor of heat, the passage of it was in nowise obstructed; but, when thin layer of India-rubber-a non conductor
 was placed against the upper surface of the metal disk, it was found that, even with weight of ninety pounds, applied for four hours, the coin sank only short distance "a result which would seem to establish the fact that there was, in the first case, a passage of heat through the metal, and that, by the introduction of 8 non-conduoter, this passage was obstruct-

Loss of the Steamer Victor.

The officers and crew of the steamer Victor, which was wrecked off the Flori- da coast, have arrived in the City of Aus tin. The disaster was fortunately not &C., companied by loss of life, but the sufferers tell pitiful story e nardships which re- quired robust constitutions to survive. The vessel had passed Cape Hatteras and Cape Canavaral. The wind at that time was blowing hard from the east, but no one suspected any reason for disaster when, about eight in the evening, two hours after making Jupiter Light, the shaft broke of as if severed by some sud den blow even with the stuffng- box, and the vessel began filling rapidly. The pumps were immediately manned and sails set, but notwithstanding all their efforts there was soon three feet of water in the hold. They succeeded in stopping the part of the leak which was in sight, but the vessel then struck bottom, and continued pumping about in heavy sea till completely filled with water. The rest of the night was spent in making pre- parations for getting to shore. At day break the vessel broke in two amidships, but they succeeded in lowering boat and running 6 line to the shore. The morning was spent in landing the women and children, and by two in the afternoon all were safely on shore, with no loss of life, although three boats swamped in making the passage from the wreck to the shore. Their troubles had but begun, however. Their refugewas barren strip of sand, and almost their sole dependence for pro- visions was the wreck they had abandoned. This boats crew succeeding in visiting that afternoon and brought off some ships stores, but the vessel broke up in the night, and by morning but her lohimneys and cylinders could be seen off shore. The night was one of fearful suffering. The only protection from the gale was a few pieces of convass under which the woman and children huddled in vain search for warmth. The storm, instead of abating, increaed in violence. The steamer General Meade took the people off and the next day they fell in with the City of Austin, which broughtthe officers and crew to New York, the passengers proceeding to New Orleans. The vessel and cargo are total loss.

The Ballad of Hiram Hover.

DuAkstU Uk hM MOTCkO Where the Moosatockmaguntie PouEs it's waters in the Skuntio,
 Met along the forest side
 Hiram Hover, Huldah Hyde. She, s maiden fair and dapper; He, red-haired, stalwart trapper, Hunting beavor, fox and skunk, In the woodlands of Squeedunk. She, Pentucket's pensive daughter, Walked beside the Skuntio water, Gathering, in her apron wet,
 Snake-root, mlnt and bouncing-bet. "Why," he murmured, 10th to leave her, "Gathsr yarbs for chills and fever, When . lovyer, bold and true, Only waits to gather you7" "Go," she answered, "I'm not nasty; prefer . maH moro tasty;
 Leastways, ono to please me we'll Should not have beastly smell" "Haughty Huldah," Hiram answered, "Nind and heart alike are cancersd; Just look here these peltriss give Cash wherefrom pair may live. "I, you think, am but vagIant, Trapping beasts by no means fragrant; Yst-I'm sure it's worth . thank I've handsome sum in bank" Turned and vanished Hiram Hover; And, before the year was over,
 Huldah, with the yArbs she sold, Bought cape against tho cold. Black and thick the furry cape was, Of a stylish cut the shape was
 And the girls, in all the town,
 Envied Huldah up and down. Then at last, ono winter morning, Hiram came without warning
 "Ether," said he, "you are blind, Huldah, or you've changed your mind. "Me, you snub for tracking varmints, Yet you take the skins for garments; Since you wear the skunk and mink, There's no harm in me I think" "Well," sai d she, "we will not quarrel, Hiram, accept the moral;
 Now the fashions so, guess
 can hardly do no less" Thus the trouble all was over Of the love of Hiram Hover;
 Thus he made sweet Huldah Hydo Huldah Hover as his bride. Love employs, with equal favor, Things of good and evil savor;
 That which first appeared to part Warmed at last the maiden's heart. Under one immortal banner, Life, the hunter, love, the tanner, Draw, from every beast they snare, Comfort for welded pair

RATTLEsNAKEs FIauTINa.-Mr. W. H. Dickson, who lives near Des Arc, Ark, while passing through an old field grown up with weeds, had his attention attracted by noise few rods distant. and went to see what caused it. He discovered two large rattlesnakes fighting, and wa, ched the battle for some time. They would raise their heads nearly three feet from the ground and strike at each other, inserting their poisonous fangs in the bodies of each, and release themselves and dosthe same thing over again. Dur, ing the fight they would occasionally emit a white-looking fluid from their mouths. MT. Dixon shot one of them and the other escaped. He afterwards found the other dead near where the battle was fought. One of them was 5 feet long, large, and had IT rattles. The other was feet long, slender, and had 26 rattles. This is the first time he ever heard of rattlesnakes fighting. It is death to the victor as we'll as to the vanquished.

TIME TO STUDY.-Undoubted the best time for self improvement comes to us in our youth. Life is so short that but little can be accomplished without care full husbandry of what there is oft. Two hours in the morning and two in the evening, devoted daily to study. will make wide difference in single season be- tween young man who adopts this prac- tice, and one of equal natural capacity who sleeps through his mornings, and dissipates, or even idles away his evenings. The early morning hours are favorable to study. Let any young man adopt the practice of two hours systematic reading before breakfast, for six months of the year, and he will find that he has acquired in that time knowledge which he would not part with for any price. Something a cup of coffee, for instance; or piece of bread and butter should always be taken before beginning to read. Study upon an entirely empty stomach is too exhausting to the system. Try the experiment of rising in winter, and study or reading be-
 fore breakfast. and you will never wish to give it up. This is all important to young men whose habits are not yet formed. 1t
 will make wide difference to them in the degree of intelligence which they will
 possess, and in the character and standing which they will acquire in the community.

POWDER AND GAs.-It has been ascer- tained that the fumes of the purifying rooms of gas works will cure the whoop- ing cough. To test It, q lady the wife of one of our merchants, took two of her children there. The superintendent of the works very kindly waited upon her to the rooms. After few moments, he noticed black streak along the forehead near the hair, but supposing she had made it by some crook from her fingers thought nothing more of it, and he left the pSrties to inhale the vapors. When ready to depart, he suggested to the lady that before she went back to the city, she had better look in the mirror, which she did, and was not a little sur prised to find her face as black as char coal. from the hair around to the ears, and under the chin. After much scrub ping with soap and water she succeeded in making herself white. She inquired anxiously of the superintendent, who is a family man and knows how 1t is him. self, what could possibly have caused it. He very politely intimated that it might be something she put on her face before she came there, which she indignantly denied-she didn't ''powder," not she. 'sMadam," said he ''that's too thin. Yo can't cheat the gas works"

THE EXPERIENCE OF AN EDIToR.-The editor of the Arizona Miner says: ct will soon be ten years since we first ar- rived in this Territory, and, in looking back over our long residence here, memory fails to point out one week in which one or more white men have not been murder ed by Indians, and in which valuable pro- perty has not been stolen or destroyed by the same people. For five years of this time our duty as editor of this paper has compelled us to record most of the bloody deeds that have been enacted, as we'll as to note and comment on the losses that lave been sustained by our citizens. And again, it has faken to our lot to view the mangled remains of many of the victims of savage terocity, to feel for those whose last dollars worth of property was taken from them; to losc property of our own; to be made target of by Apaches; to be on the watch against surprise, and to have our hair erect itself, and to stand ride and walk in fear and trembling of the lurking savages. Need we say, then, that we are tired of this state of affairs, tired ofthe un- pleasant duty it has forced us to perform ] Scarcely"

RULES FOR BUSINESS MEN.-From some published Rules for Business Men" we extract the following in relation to adver- Using: "Take advantage of modern facilities. Use the means within your reach; increase and multiply the means of information. |" To compete success fully with neighbor, participate in the facilities afforded to go ahead. "Don't depend upon your own lungs alone, use the lungs of the press. Make it known by printers ink that you are prepared to do business. "Sell at small profits for cash, and make 1t known through the newspaper. All that any honest, legiti- mate concern requires is fair judgment close industry, unwavering integrity, superior workmanship, fair prices, and to do better by customers, if possible, than others in the same business -- and give it publicity.
