A Nlan Rescued.

Jessie Mcdonald was hard at work
at the washtub, one day, when her lit
tie son Fergus came rushing into the
room crying as if his poor little heart
would break.
"Daddy'll die up there" he sobbed !.
"they get him down"
Die up where ?" exclaimed Jessie,
wringing the soap off her hands and
wiping them upon her apron.
"On the top of the factory chimney;
the rope has slipped dCwn and they
can't get up another, and the ladders
are all too short"
Jessie flew out of the house and ran
to the foot Of the new factory Chin
ney, round which crowd of work.
men were gathered in loud discussion.
On the top of the chimney stood
Angus Mcdonald, far beyond the reach
of help, to all appearance. When the
staging was taken down, he, the most
skillful of the workman, had been left
to do some last bit of work. BY a
strange accident the rope by which he
was to let himself down had slipped
and fallen, where it lay in heap.
Jessie covered her eyes with hands,
Lord nelp mel" she prayed from rhe
depths of her heart. A sudden thought
came as the answer to ner prayer.
Angus" she called, "unraVel your
stocking, man, and tie a bit of mortar
TO the end OF the yarn, and let it down
to me-"
Off came one of Angus blue socks.

of stout twine, The end of the twine
she tied TO the end of tie yarn,
Now, draw the yarn up slowly"
she said. Angus followed her dlrec-
tions. and as the yarn went up higher
and higher, and higher, she let ont
more and more twine from the ball in
her hands. What steady hands they
were! no tangling of the twine nor
dropping of the bali. If she had been
uurolling a clothes line. she could not
have done it more quietly. At last
Angus called out:
"All right, | have got the twine;
now what are you going to dO?'
"'Tie on the rope" called Jessie.
There was not sound among the
crowd you could have heard a pin
drop as, with breathless interest, they
watched her at work.
She tied the rope and the twine to-
gether as firmly as any sailor could
have done. Eager ewes watched it
ascend, higher, higher. until Angus
called out:
"All right, I've got the rope, stand
from under'n
lie secured the rope, came down
hand over hand-ah! one can't tell
about such things! The WOrkmen
cried Ike children, and pressed round
Angus and Jessie with words of praise
and affection. Then some one wiser
than the rest said, Let them go home
alone"
And in the little kitchen the husband
and wife and child kuelt, and thanked
Gcd that their hearts was not made
desOlale!

Our Berlin correspondent, who is
exceedingly well Informed, says the
three powers above named have issued
warnings To the Princes Of Montene-
gro and SerYia to refrain from extend

to believe that the question il not yet
