She did not answer, but turned to the
sick man, who lay with fierce eyes glar-
ing at the men. Her whole face soften
ed as she looked at him.
"He didn't know any thing about it, y
she said. Good-by, Jim, you won't
have your medicine mos0; but did my
best"
Two of the men took her away, and
Rufus turned to the boy, who lay still in
the arms of the man who had seized
him. The child was evidently under the
influence of a strong opiate. 1t was pit
iful to see his little head and limbs ut
terly relaxed and nerveless. His nice
clothes had been replaced by rags, and
his face was smeared and grimed over,
apparently with SCOT.
"Give him to me-" said Rufus. "I
will put on his own clothes and wash his
face before taking him to his mother.
Where are his clothes p"5 EEv thlll !!
The sick man made sullen gesture
towards chest in corner of the room.
They were found there, and the little
boy was soon made ready, and borne
tenderly in the arms of his preservers TO
his own home. -a"t
The poor mother had passed rapidly
from one fainting fit to another when
she found her boy could not be heard of.
Her languid eyes turned to the door
when it opened to admit Rufus and his
precious burden, and with one wild cry

him.
What pen can describe the scene?
Only those who have experienced the
height and depth of mothers anguish
can picture it. 1t was the agony of
death passing into the resurrection.

the joy of that Mardi Gras ever be for

WAIT AND SEE.


When my boy, with eager questions,
Asking how, and where, and when,
Taxes all my store of wisdom,
Asking DER and DER again,
Questions oft to which the answers
Give to others still the key,
have said, to teach him patience:
Wait, my little boy, and see."
And the words taught my darling
Taught to me lesson sweet:
Once when all the world seemed darkened,
And the storm about me beat,
In the " chtldren's room" heard him,
With a child's sweet mimicry
To the baby brothers questions
Saying wisely: "Waft and see."
Like an angels tender chiding t
Came the darling's words to me.
Thought my fathers ways were hidden,
Bidding me still wait and see,
What are we but restless children,
Ever asking what shall be?
And the Father, in his wisdom,
Gently bids us: "Wait and see."

AN INCIDENT OF MARDI GRAs.

1t was the grand carnival night in
New Orleans, the evening of Mardi
Gras. My Northern readers who have
never witnessed the pageants and the
Mosques OF that season in the Crescent
City can hardly understand the mad
ness OF the grotesque whirl and the uni
versal license which hurries all classes
and conditions of society into its vortex.
This day before the somber Lenten
feasts Is given over to savage extrava-
gance, and the strange s'Mystick Krewe"
of Comus reign supreme in the streets.

chooses can 60 out masked, and the
wearers of these maskh are allowed to

unceremonious exit. a f,si
1t was, as l have said, the night of
nardi Gras. The grand procession of
the '.Mystick Krewe" had passed down
Canal Street, and was fling down Roy
al. On low balcony stood lady and
little boy of about six years old-a
beautiful golden-haired little fellow,
who, as the pageant passed, screamed,
and capered about with delight. "Only
see; he isn't bit afraid-my brave lit

nurse. a black girl about IA. "He,s
perfectly enchanted, though any other
boy of his age would have been fright

She did not see that the child had
climbed upon the arabesque of the iron
railing up to the very top, and stood on |
the narrow ledge with arms extended,
swaying like bird about to take wing.

For the week, ending with this date,
the developments throughout the mine
have been Of the most favorable char
acter. West crosscut $50 foot level
reached the quartzite foot wall, at a
distance of 45l ieet from stations; after
cutting into it 10 feet, and finding it
hard and compact. we started a drift
south along the wall, which is now III
30 feet. The vein we are drifting on is
from four to five feet wide, composed
of iron mixed with low-grade ore.
The vein cut 375 feet west of shaft
continues small; the ore, however, is
high grade and heavy in lead.
East crosscut from south drift $50
foot level is now in 20 feet; will con-
meet with winze below 100 foot level Of
south shaft Tomorrow, which will
complete the connections with all the
old workings of the mine. There is a
considerable amount of good ore in
the Slopes of south shaft which we can
now mine and hoist through the main
shaft.
West crosscut $50 foot level is now in
454 feet; it will reach the foot wall in
about 10 feet, If the ours of the wall
remains unchanged.
The ore body in upraise above 49,
foot level has materially improved
since my last report. Top of upraise
is now go feet above the level.
Ore body in north drift from bottom
of Wine below $50 foot level is open
ing up finely. Ore in face of drift is
from our to five feet wide and of first
class quality, carrying a heavy percent

We have started a drift from 100-foot

and took the role of monkey. His an

frightened a lady into Mysteries, and

sequences, retired at an early hour.
