An UnappreciatIye Au Hence.

A gentleman discovered an exquisite
poetic gem, and in his delight at the dis
covery, invited the attention of two
ladies to it. They listened with intent
ear while the reader gave voice to the
glowing and graceful thoughts of the
poet. When the reading was finished,
the gentleman turned to his companions
for word or look of appreciation. He
saw their faces aglow, their lips parted
in an intensity of feeling, and their eyes
bright with--what? Shade OF Homer

Grace Darling's HerOism.

Grace Darling, the daughter OF the
keeper of one of the lighthouses upon
the Fern Islands, perilous cluster of
rocks off Saint Abbie's head, was awak-
ened toward the morning of the 9th of
September, 1888, by shrieks of distress,
and when the dawn came, perceived
the remains of wreck upon L9ngstone
Island, the outermost of the group.
Grace awoke her father and urged him
to launch his boat and go to the rescue
of any one who might still be alive in
the stranded vessel, but the tide was ris-
ing, wind and sea were alive, and the old
man hung back. Grace, however, was
sure that she discerned movement on
the wreck, as though living beings were
still there, and seizing an oar, placed
herself in the boat, which she was well
able to manage. Her father could not
let her go alone, and they rowed off TO.
gether in tremendous sea, encouraged
by perceiving that nine persons were
still clinging to the forepart of the ship.
The father, after many vain attempts,
succeeded in landing on the rock, and
making his way to the wreck, while
Grace rowed off and on among the break
ers, dextrously guiding her little boat,
which, but for her excellent manage.
ment, would have been dashed to pieces
against the rocks.
One by one, with the utmost care and
skill, the nine survivors were placed in
the boat and carried to the lighthouse,
where Grace lodged, fed and nursed
them for two whole days, before the
the storm abated enough for communi-
cation with the mainland. One of them
was lady whose two children of eleven
and eight years old had actually been
buffeted to death by the waves while
she held them in her arms, and who was
so much injured herself that it was long
before she could leave her bed.
The vessel was the Forfarshire, a large
steamer plying between Hull and Dun
dee. Her boilers had been out of order,
their leakage had rendered the engines
useless, and when the storm arose the
ship was unmanageable without her
steam, and was driven helplessly upon
the Fern Islands. The only boat had
been lowered by eight of the sailors,
who were pushing off in her, when one
gentleman rushed upon the deck, seized
rope and swung himself in after them.
These nine were picked up by slOop,
and saved. OF the others, the whole
number had either been drowned In
their berths, or washed off the wreck,
except four of the crew and five passen-
gers, whom Grace Darling's valor had
rescued The entire number of the lost
is not known, but more than forty had
certainly got ON board at Hull. Some
sailors at Sunderland went out to the
wreck during the storm at the peril of
their lives, but found only corpses to
bring away. Grace's noble conduct
rang through England, and every testi-
monial that could be offered was sent to
her. We believe this brave girl soon
after died of decline. - Mss YonDe's

Periis of BallOOning.

The most extraordinary balloon
adventure or record has just happened
to the aeronauts of the Alexandra
Palace Company, London. Having
attained height of 5000 feet, they three
times crossed the Thames, and descended
in a large meadow near Ethan, Kent.
They were just letting off the gas when
large bull charged them, believing
furiously. They threw the two last bags
of sand ont of the Car, and barely
escaped throuph the rising of the bal
loon. The bull scattered the contents
of the sand bags over the ground, and
his horns, becoming entangled with the
grapnel rope, set the grapnel free,
throwing one aeronaut out of the car
through the jerk. Fortunately he
succeeded in clutching the netting, and,
with his companions assistance, was
hauled into the car before it had as
cended many hundred feet They then
sailed away for a mile, and descended in
another meadow.

Unfortunate IcelanderS.

The Winnipeg (Manitoba) papers have
sad intelligence of the Iceland immi-
grants, who have come in large numbers,
as colonists, to settle in the British
American possessions. They started in
boats for their reservation ON Lake VIM
nipeg, many of which wrecked in fear
full storms, and the goods and chattels
of the poor people were scattered in
every direction by the waves. 1t is
known that a number of lives were lost,
and it is feared that many persisted
whose bodies have not been recovered.
The frail boats, though equal to the
work on former occasions, fell short OF
what were needed to Withstand the
storms which have prevailed since they
left Winnipeg.

rassal-it seemed to run in the family
and originated the report to save him
self from prosecution for series OF for
geries he had committed in New York.
He lived in California, and amassed
great wealth, and died in the early part
of 1872, leaving all his possessions to
Adelaide, naming his brother Nathan
executor. Nathan kept his counsel
about the legacy, had Adelaide too east
ly committed to the asylum as paying
patient, and was living in the enjoyment
of her inheritance. He had taken DR..
Curling into his confidence and had paid
magnificently for her detention.
Adelaide consented to the arrest of
her uncle, as the surest means of estab
fishing her sanity and recovering her
property, but the smooth Superinten-
dent was true to his patron and too quick
for Roland and the officers. He tele-
graphed to Nathan Munthrope that af-
ternoon, and the rascal gathered up
whatever he could of value, and alb
seconded. Out of Adelaide's fortune of
nearly half million she recovered
more than three hundred thousand,
and had the search for her uncle aban-
dened.
She had no recollection of any of the
circumstances attending the means OF
the revelation made to Roland at the
Grange. When shown the handwriting
in the diary, she confessed that it was
hers. That night she had thrown her
self into an agony of despair upon hel
bed, dressed she awoke in the morning
with sense of hope and relief, but was
unable to account for its inspiration, and
was not surprised when the keeper OF
the ward in which she was, so slyly
handed her Roland's letter, and suggest
ed the manner of reply, so that it must
be classed with the cases of duality Of
existence and palpable presence, Of
which there are many other indisputable
evidences on record.
Roland and Adelaide were married
about six months ago, at the same time
as Robert Bullen and Roland's pretty
sister, Mary. May they live long to
tell of their wonderful bringing to
gether.

Remedy for Burns.

DR.. r. II. Alnatt writes to the Lon
don Times 1.-The late lamentable ac-
cident on board the Thunderer, at
Portsmouth, recalls to my recollection a
remedy for burns and scalds, which was
suggested to me some years ago by Lord
Rbury. AS an old medical man, and
from personal observation, can vouch
for its efficacy, and, in the absence of
professional assistance, the application
may prove of inestimable value. The
remedy liz simply this: The common
whiting of commerce, reduced by cold
water to the consistence of cream. is to
be spread ON light linen rag, and the
whole burned surface instantly Gov
cred, and thus excluded from the action
of the air. The ease it affords is instan
taneous, and it only requires to be kept
moist by subsequent occasional sprink-
ling of cold water"

The Waco Examiner gives the follow

took place one morning recently on the
bank of the Brazos river, opposite Kim
ball, in Bosque county, Texas. party
composed of Walter Turner, Ed Brown,
and - Thompson, from Kaufman
county, had been in that locality several
days with race-horses. On Thursday
last Frank and Lacy Robinson, Taylor
Campbell, and Wiley Norman, all OF
Hill comfy, went to the camp OF the
Kaufman county men and got into
dispute with them about pony race,
which resulted in fist-fght. The par
ties agreed to meet the next day and
settle the thing III more satisfactory
manner. So at 10 o'clock on the next
morning indicated the Hill county men
took stand at the place agreed upon,
in readiness for action. They had not
waited long when the other party rode
toward them. The men were all armed
with sK-shooters, except Turner, who
carried needle carbine. When the
parties had approached within twenty
yards of each other, Taylor Campbell
fired at Turner and the battle COM
menced. Turner leaped from his horse
and fired three shots with his terrible
carbine. The first shot went crashing
through Campbell's brain, the second
caused the instant death of Frank Robin
son, and the last shot MORALLY wounded
Lacy Robinson. BY this time a ball
from Thompson's revolver had passed
through poor Norman's breast, boy
aged II years and all of the Hill
county party lay weltering in their blood.
Some twenty shots were fired altogether.
More than half the shots were by the
Hill county party, but, strange to say,
none of the Kaufman county men were
in the least hurt. Campbell and Frank
Robinson also fred, but the only dam
age they did was to kill Turner's horse.
The surviving party mounted horses and
fed the country. Ahundred men started
in pursuit. Both the Robinson's leave
families. The Kaufman county party
are all boys, none of them being more
than 10 or 20 years OF age.

Fun.

At the hour of retirement, last even
ing (says the Cincinnati Tines, it was
found almost impossible to get John
Henry's 4-year-old hopeful to leave his
mothers bedroom and go to bed. There
was diabolical expectancy of infinite
fun on the cherub's countenance, and
such stern measures as slipper had to
be resorted to before he could be driven
away. But when, in the dead hour of
the night,
There rose the cry of woman shrill
As shrek OF oss-hawk on the hill;
when Mrs. Henry bounded from the bed,
frantic with fright and when from the
white folds of her robe de mutt were
picked seven good-sized pinchbugs, it
began to be understood what that tai
ented youngster had been awaiting.

An old man sat beneath tree,
An elf-like child upon his knee.
The winds rushed down the mountain-side,
The winds on which the furies ride.
They caught the dead leaves from the ground.
And tossed them round and round and round
Then dropped them down and sped away,
With other work-worn leaves to play.

The old man murmured TO himself:
"a life nits In that life fits out
While frisky winds toss leaves about"

With wonder locking from her eyes:
