Tue past year, stimulated by the steady
healthy growth of business and natural de-
velopment Of the rich agricultural country
in the midst of which it is situated, has
very seldom been equaled. 1t has,Reen

man Of this city. in his excellent 3nnual re-
port of the city schools, zez,-4eofAtkibly said :
"Statistics are abreviated formal records
Of vsohties:fact' brought into shape for
philoeophical inquiry. Said Napoleon 1:
Statistics mean the keeping an exact
account Of q natiop's affairs, and without
such an account there is no safety
Goethe, the German poet, says: 4 do not
know whether figures govern the world, but
this l do know, they show hoav it is gov
erned.'''
If this may be said of schools and nations
with still greater truth may it be said that
the financial condition and the general
prosperity or tie reverse of a city is re-.
vealed by the building statistics. If the
improvements ore great and general, it
is an absolute certainty that there has
been great and general prosperity. With
this view we have been to. much pains to
obtain the following statistics, and have
received valuable aid from Messrs.. C. r.
Brink, Blakely & Chaffee, D. c. Hill, DAN
iels & Simmons, and others of our lead
ing mechanics and builders to whom we &C.
knowledge ourselves under obligation.
The principal. contractors and builders,
who have had the directing and doing of
this immense amount Of building and i'm
proving, are Blakely & Chaffee, Brink &
Williams, B. c. Stephens & Daniels, J. Ham
mond, Daniels s. Simmons, H. Bragg. Be-
sides these a large number of the me-
chanics have been employed in the country
where improvements have been greater if
anything than in the city.
1t was our intention when we started with
our statistics to give the names of tie con-
tractors and builders Of each building, but
we found it absolutely impossible @ pr e1-
cellent mechanics are worthy ofg great praise
for the immene ee amount Of Won, they have
rushed through during the tesj, but they
have made themselves too. .&a-erably known
by their excellent work to have received any
benefit from such mention, though it would
have been much more satisfactory to US had
it been practicable.

LABOR AND FRUIT.

In the world there's trial and cares
Intermingled with blessings and grace;
Midst the wheat, there's chaff and tares;-
Fen through glory, foul sin shows face
While clouds hide the sunshine yet sunshine
so fair,
Up above the dark clouds, blessed sunshine is
there.
Should mourn if God deems it just,
Mourn and murmur that He comes with
frowns;
That my roses and blossoms are dust,
That my diadem's thorns. more than crowns?
No, in hope rather trust and in faith rise to God
Where are roses and crowns, but never rod
Oh my Soul-let murmurings cease
Lost in grace, Thy precious behcst;
In tenderness let me increase
That my heart in peace can rest.
Oh come let me in to thy own feast of love,
Dear Savior. and keep me and bring me above
AS the clouds weep over the earth
So weepeth Thy spirit for me;
Through travail and pain comes the birth
OF soul looscd from sin and made free;
So the clouds, tears and pains and labors are
given
These are artizan's tools to fit me for Heaven.
Does thy music seem harsh and untuned
Has thy heart found no rest on life's road
Are thy life pleasures all unperfumed?
Docs its harmony lose the accord?
Look up, Oh my soul, turn thine eyes toward
His word
Glass thine arms round His cross and trust thee
il God.

stare. suddenly heaved short, quick sigh, ,
and then fell heavily back on the beach

THIS tPRIEZ POUR MOI, s. V. p.
When Duncan Lewis jumped out of the
small boat into the sea, the sudden dan
ger Of which Alasa became conscious did
not deprive her Of her senses. 1t was.
indeed with some sort of wild instinct of
selc.prcscrvat,on that she Immediately
dashed down her hand toward the spot at
which the water was rushing in and
that she found in moment. for she was
as well acquainted with the boat as Dun.
can Lewis had been ignorant of it, She
tore off the wooden shawl that she wore !;
she stuffed one corner Of it as tightly as
she could into the small hole; then she
reached up her am AVID took out one of
the wooden thole rims from the side of the
boat. THIS tholc-pin had been extempor

had been left much thicker at top than at

tion of the other end of the shawl. With.
drew that already in, and in another min.
ute the hole was safely plugged.
Then she looked around.
A great terror solzed her, and yet she
did not scream. Where we're the people?
she could hear no voices, only the sound
Of the waves along the unseen beach.
Theh she remembered the oars had
gone. How should she make some des-
pairing effort to get into land again ? She
threw out thu stones that were in the bot
tom of the boat she took tho small tin

and balod out q portion Of the water,

unGxed the rudder. and went TO the bow

But the work was hopeless. She had to
stoop so far that her back began to ache ;

The Maid Of KilIeena.
BY WILLIAM BLACK,

Of Iicth," etc.
CHAPTER III. (Contuucd.)
Duncan Lewis she cried, what are
you do'ng?'
What am 1 doing ".aid he, with ii
loud and harsh laugh and she dinly saw
that he was groring about the bottom Of
the boat. 1T iss the two oars that heI
gone into the sea. But this is what | am
dong--that some one hass taken the cork
out Of the bottom of Ike boa!-yes, when
it wass on the bank and, by Kott, tie
water is coming in fast, and you will het
to SWIM ashore, Ailasa Macdonald !"
For second or two she was too srupe-
fed to utter even scream. She knew,
in her spec chless horror, that what he had
said was true, for she heard the gurging
Of the water, and at the same moment she
saw his dark figure rise in the boat aot
then disappear. He had jumped into the
sea.
Some little time thereafter man all
dripping aud wet was running across the
narshy land lying between the sea and
Hector Lewis's farm. He encountered
three men about half mile from the
shore.
"Alistcr Lewis! Aistcr Lewis! !" he
cri'd, ait lis q bad nigh, for you this
night =
In the name Of Col Duncan Lewis,
where is Ailasa?" said the youngest of
the three men.
IL wass taking her ever IN the boat
We wass not far from the >hore-and the
water came into the boat. 1t wass some
one hass made the cork loose when the boat
wass on the bank-" "fHflF E}5tH3s
"But where is AiIasa? ?" cried the young
num- scarcely comprehcnding the story. :
Where is she? Ay where is she r
said Duncan Lewis, ciasping bis hands
over his head, apparently in an agony OF
grief. The boat wass sinking had to
swim ashore.
With shril sharp cry, as of wild
animal shot through the heart, the young
man rushed off in the direction of the sea.
He could not pick his way on such a dark
night but he cared not whether he kept
or missed the rough foo,.path leading down
10 the shore.
"Ailasa Aiasa !" he shouted.
The silence of the nigh, was his only
answer.
! He reached the water--ther was o
mournful plash of waves all along the
beach-out there nothing but biackness.
"Ailasa! Aiasa !" he called and thu
men who had run after him they too called,
"Ailasa Ailasa!"
Was it fancy or wild reality that he
heard faint and distant voice call. "Al-
lister !'-not over there in the channel
which he had been anxiously scanning
but far away out in the west. toward the
open sea?
Again he set out, rushing wildly over
the patches Of rough heather aud broker
rock close by the beach. Every second
or two he would stand and call. "Ailasa ]
and then, with the strange fancy that h'
still could hear voice family replying
he would rush Oh again. At length b
reached the extreme corner OF the lslapd

could do that"
"And where will you be for going, then?'
said Nicol.
America"
The elder brother uttered a cry.
Then it is no more we will see you in
the world !"
IL will 90 to Glasgow, and tell the
gentlemen that they will get some one
else for the school then can get boat
at Glasgow for New York. There are
some here who will be glad to see me no
more"
Nicol looked at the young man half
afraid aud suddenly the whoic manner
and look of Alister Lewis changed. A
ghastly pallor shot into his face, he clinch-
ed his hands, and then he almost cried,
aloud,
Yes! DO you know why it is that l
am going to America ? 1t is this, Nicol
Lewis, that if live in this island an
other week there will be murder here
yey, as sure as | am alive"
"Alstcr !" the elder brother said, star.
ing at him.
IA murder--ycs !" the younger man
said, with vehcmence that seemed to
border on madness. And maybe not
the first within this month"
An mdcscribablc horror was visible in
Ncol Lewis's face for this wild accusa-
lion was but the expression of many a
strange and terrible fancy that had wan
dcred before his mind, and that he striven
to Danish as the work of devil.
"Alstcr Lewis. what is it YOU say p
he replied, almost in a whisper. What
is i, you think ? For the sake Of Kott,
Aister Lewis, you will not say that as amt
your own brother ~
The younger man had grown more calm,
