.ruE sABEs IN THE WOODS
dig Pine Flat, is71)
by BRET HARTE.

"Something Characteristic Ell?
Humph i reckon you mean by that,
Something that happened m your way,
Here at the crossin' of Big Pine Flat.
Times aren't now as they used TO be,
When gold was flush and the boys were frisky,
And man would pull out his battery
For anything-maybe the price OF whisky.
Nothing of that sort, Ell? That's strange.
Why, thought you might be diverted,
Hearing how Jones, of Red Rock Range,
Drawed his I" Hint TO the Unconverted,
And saying, 4" whar will you have 1t ~ shot
Cherokee Bob at the last Debating!
What the question l forgot
But Jones didn't like Bobs way Of stating.
Nothing of that kind. eh? You mean
Something milder? Let's see--Oh, Joe!
Tell to the stranger that little scene
Out of the " Babes in the woods You know,
" Babes" was the name that we gave enn, SIR,
Two lean lads in their teens, and greener
Than even the belt of spruce and mr.
Where they built their nest, and each day grew
leaner.
No one knew where they came from. None
Cared to ask II they had a mother.
Runaway schooboys, maybe. one
Tall and dark az spruce; the other
Blue and gold in the eyes and hair.
Soft and low in his speech, but rarely
Talking with us; and we didn't
To get at their secret at all unfairly.
For they were so quiet, sad and shy,
Content 70 trust each other solely,
That somehow we'd always shut one eye,
And never seem TO observe them wholly,
AS they passed to their work. Twas wornout
claim,
Aud it paid them grub. They could live without
it,
For the boys had way of leaving game
In their tent, and forgetting all about it.
Yet no one asked for their secret Dumb
II lay in their big eyes heavy hollows.
II was understood that no one should come
To their tent unawares, save the bees and swa-
lows
so they lived alone Until one warm night
1 was sitting here at the tent-door, so, sir,
When ont of the sunsets rosy light
Up rose the Sheriff of Mariposa.
knew at once there was something wrong,
For his hand his voice shook just little,
And there isn't much you can fetch along
To make the sinews of Jack Hill brittle.
a. Go warn the Babes :" he whispered hoarse;
"Tell I'm coming-to get and scurry,
For I've got story that's bad, and worse,
I've got warrant: Cd d-n it, hurry"
Too late they had seen him cross the hill;
ran to their tent and found them lying
Dead in each others arms, and still
Casping the drug they had taken flying.
And there lay their secret cold and BARE
Their life their tral-the Old old story
For the sweet blue eyes, and the golden hair,
Was ,rOHtGns shame and romans glory.
E'who were they?" Ask no more or ask
The sun that visits their grave so lightly;
Ask of the whispering reeds or task
The mourning criGkets that chirrup nightly.
All of their life but its Love forgot,
Everything tender and soft and mystic,
These our Babes in the Woods, you've got
Well-Human Nature-that's characteristic.

HONE INDUSTRIES Richmond
and Manchester have never had the credit
due them for either the quality or quantity
of bricks manufactured within their limits.
Baltimore and Philadelphia have the repu-
tatlon Of being the brick markets of this
country, yet our bricks are not inferior to
those Of these cities and can be bought at
about one-hslf the price. IfBaltiuore prices
could be obtained even better bricks, we are
assured, could and would be made.
Contrary to the custom Of other cities,
brick making aud building are here COM
bined, instead OF forming two separate busi.
nesses. A good idea ofthe growth and pros
perity of our city may be formed by looking
at its brick statistics In 1863 there were
only six firms engaged in the manufacture of
bricks, and they made not more than 9,O00.-
900, the daily production being about 10000
during the brick making season, which Is be-
tween the months of April and November.
This years business shows fourteen active
firms in the field, employing about five hun
dred men, mostly colored, who, by the close
Of the season November 1sD will have made
net less than 26,O00,00O bricks, the daily.
production being nearly 100000. In the
early spring there was not i sufficient stock
of bricks on hand to meet the demand, and
the erection of many houses was delayed in
consequence. Thecoming spring will show
q different market, as a stock of several mil
lions will be left on hand. At present not
much is being done IN building beyond the
completion of work contracted for in the
spring; but the year 1874 shows the greatest
number of bricks ever before manufactured
