Which appeared to fascinate him.
As the flames made headway he
moved uneasily, shifted his weight
from one foot to the other, and
chcwed with renewed animation.
Each new building that fell prey
to the fire seemed to cause him to
experience the most poignant dc.
Spair. His glance was not so
strongly marked by sympathy as
by anxiety. His sallow jaws SEEM

building that went down. His
dress and appearance did not be-
token a man who had any enor-
nous amount Of property at stake,
and the general impression among
those who observed him was that
his alarm was caused by pros
pcct of losing his situation. Pres
entity, when tile flames seemed as
! though they would engulph the
whole city, be turned his pale face
from the flames, and addressing a
party by his side, exclaimed with
no less pride than disgust, "Psho

THE FUTURE OF TIE ENGLISH
FARM LABORER.-A writer who
has given the subject much attcn-
tion and has become thoroughly
familiar with it in all its bearings,
declares that the strike Of the En-
glish agricultural laborcrs will
terminate in an emigration from
England to this country, which in
extent, will cvcrshadow the great
exodus from LELAND to America.
And this view Of the case is more
than likely to be the correct one,
for the fact is: England is over
stocked with farm laborcrs. The
arabic land under cultivation is
not sufficiently productive to war
rant the owners in granting the
higher pay asked for. In many
cases the landlords are absolutely
too poor to raise the rate Of wages
by 4 penny. On this side Of the
ocean the land is in excess Of the
workers. Here there are more
acres than hands to till them
What more beneficial, therefore,
for both countries than that the
farmers and land should be brought
together. We cannot send our
vast Western plains to England to
be cultivated, but England can
readily send to us her surplus farm
laborers.
