"Miss Grace! you here? Why, Tun
did you come from Factoryville?"
You are acquainted with Miss Tel
ler?' asked Mrs. Randall, in some sur
prise.
"Quite we'll; in fact l have had the
management of her property for some
years. Miss Teller is the young lady
who owns the extensive calico facto-
ries, from which our village takes its
name"
Dear me-" calculated Mrs. Sew
mour, turning pale and sinking down
on divan near her. "Why, they say
the heiress of the old gentleman who
owned the Factoryville property is the
richest girl in the country"
Grace" said Frank, gravely and
almost sternly, what does this mean?"
The blue eyes filled with tears as she
chung closer to his arm.
Il can't help owning the calico fac
tories, Frank. Don't you love me just
as well as if l didn't?"
"My little deceiver. But why didn't
you tell me?''
"Why should tell you, Frank? 1t
was so nice to leave the heiress behind
and be plain Grace Teller for while
And when | saw how opposed your
mother was to our engagement, a spark
of woman's willfulness rose up within
me, and | resolved | would maintain
my incogmita, come what might, Mrs.
Seymour" she added, turning archly
around and holding out her hand to the
discounted old lady, " didn't l teR you
that | owed my daily bread to the fac
toryP"
And poor Mrs. Seymour, for once in
her life, was at a loss for an answer.

THE BOATNAN'S LESSON.
HAYDEN, Publisher.

The little boat went gliding on,
And then the winds arose.
The twilight faded on the hills,
The day began to close.
The boatman spoke, as much feared
Amid the flashing foam,
"Oh. master, give it up to me,
And l will row you home"
So / sat still in helplessness.
Though numbed in every limb
Now up, now down among the waves,
And gave it up to him.
And skillfully he turned the prov,
And piled the bending oar,
Until. just as the moon arose,
He brought me safe to shore.
And evermore that boatman's words,
Amid the wind severe.
As up and down the world walk,
Are ringing in my ear:
In sun, in rain, in dark, in light,
Where'er my footsteps roam,
Oh, master, give it up to me,
And will row you home"
'Tis thus with Him who came to save
The ruined SONS of men;
We are to trust His power, as |
Believed the boatman then.
And though the winds may smite the waves,
And anger. surges foam,
The loving Christ of Nazareth r
Will guide His people home.
John Harris, in British Workman.

MISCELLANY.

The dead-letter Office, says a Washington
correspondent, 10 an interesting place to visit;
not at all like liying-letter office, but a room
containing many tables at which sit clerks
examining, sorting and arranging tile piles
efeorrespondcncc that have come to nanght.
eEorne open the letters, which are then passed
10 others for examination, when those con-
tanning money are passed on to clerks whose
duty it is to make memorandum of the con-
tents. Then the whole is freshly re-enclosed
to return to the sender; and in case it doesn't
find him, it comes back to Washington. 1t is
interesting to note the contents of the money
letter. Small pieces of silver and currency
are plentiful and sometimes bit of silver
will have a bit of currency wrapped around it
so carefully. The bank notes range all the
way from one to twenty, and perhaps higher,
but that was the largest one we saw. Who
would be so careless as to let twenty dollar
note go astray? It must have been a lovely
woman for the direction on all the letters we
glanced at, was in feminine chirography.
Themany articles which have failed to find
an owner, and have returned to the dead-let-
ster office, such as jewellery, embroiderics and
all tho little things that are sent by mail, were
untiirecently kept on exhibition, and form
ed quite curious museum; but they are
now packed away preparatory to being sold at
auction.

THE WALRUs.- The walrus Is = select and
aristocratic beast, inasmuch as he is the sole
representative of the genus Trichecus, and
has no plebian relatives in the shape of sub
genera and species to wound his family pride.
He is found throughout the whole Arctic zone,
as far as it has been explored, but he is chief
lyhunted in the ueighborhood of Nova zem-
bla and Spitzbergen, where the submarine
banks, which headlights to rake for the mol
lusks ON which he feeds, lie comparatively
near tho snrfacoof the water. He is not
graceful ror pleasing beast in appearance,
since he somewhat resembles an enormous
pig, with coarse whisksrs, pair of huge
stnsks depending from the upper jaw, flippers
instead of legs, and no tail whatever. A full
grown walrus weighs from $500 to 5000
pounds, and his skin blubber and tusks, con-

The GOODNESS of Canada is one Objectionable
feature of life in that region but Capt. Ora
ham, q wealthy ship owner in Montreal, says
that he can readily do away with that discom-
fort. He finds that the chief cause of the
low temperature is the current of water from
the Arctic seas that washes its shore, and he
proposes to turn the icy water in another di-
rectien by closing the straits between New
foundland and Labrador. The necessary
breakwatsr would be eight miles long, and on
an average thirty fathoms deep.

A DoLT4NG READJUSTER.--Hon A.
A. Phlegar, who was elected to the Vir-
ginia State Senate as q readjustef, now
changes front and assails the readjusters
with considerable vigor. In recent ad-
dress to lis constituents he said:
ION my arrival in Richmond saw
that good and true men who had been
faithful officers were to be TUNED out +;
when I saw that Legislature was to
ifritter away its time and prove untrue to
the purposes for which it was elected !;
that the public mind was to be agitated
for two years and kept as seething,
boiling cauldron; that for two years
more the interest on the public debt was
to accumulate at the rate of $500, 600 per
anpum that from every stump and ev
ery rostrum the people were to have in
stilled into them the means by which
honest obligations coulia be Stunned
rather thap met; thas the dark clout
| resting over us sad retarding our pros
perity was to. be darkened rather thai
fightened; all this that the ambition o
a few men might be gratifso, and tha
lone man might use Us as a stepping
stone to the Senate, fslt that I had II,
part norAot in tie matter, and I shool
off the duss Of my feet against the Bal
lard House caucus and forcible readjust
Ement. Surely, in vain the net is sprea

Bereft of friends, bereft of home;
A weary wanderer I roam;
No beacon in the threat'ning gloom,
To cheer my pathway to the tomb.
Thelight that Hopes bright lamp had shed
Grew fainter, flicker'd, and is dead
An ignis fatuus on the moor,
That left it darker than before.
With throbbing heart and fearful eyes,
I turn to seek some kindred ties;
Forgetful of the bitter fate,
That bound and made me desolate.
The home that in childhood knew,
With all the loued ones tried and true,
Is by cold strangers occupied.
While they are scatter'd far and wide.
Through mist see a city lone,
Adorn'd with flowers and polish'd stone;
Whose terraces in sil6ht-woe,
Were piled above the forms below.
There two of all earth-friends the best,
In sacred solitude find rest.
Beneath the turf fain would sleep
With them, blest thought, no more to weel
No sympathizing voice hear,
No kind words greet my eager ear,
No gentle hand with fond caress
To aid me in my loneliness.
The murmering rills and joyous birds,
And springing flowers and loving herds,
Proffer no pitying look nor tone
To me uncar'd for and alone.
Ye dreams of earthly bliss farewell!
To me no more dearjoys foretell,
Farewell to scenes OF mortal strife!
Soon from the battlefield of life,
To deaths dark Silent halls" away
In haste they'll bear my lifeless clay.
My spirit then shall join the blest,
From earthly care set free I'll rest.

ED-THE PRACIICA4 RESULTS.
From an authority so worthy of at
tention as the inventor himself we learn
OF the many applications to which that
new mechanical wonder, the phone

american Revieao for May-June, in
which ne details the marvellous results
he has obtained from his 'ax axpayiments
when developing his invention, and
points out the manner in which the new
instruEaeht is to simplify, and in many
INSTANCES render unnecessary, the lahS;rs
OF the telegrapher, the writer, speaker
and singer. He undertakes to show
that in the near future complsIe reyo-
luton will be accomplished III the now
costly and laborious work Of 'bookmak-
ing, and tnat imperishable records of
tAe Identical utterances of men can he
secured and reproduced as oftea and in

love thee; why, cannot tell,
A thousand nameless winning ways
Around thee weave the magic spell,
And make words poor to speak thy praise
love thee not because thine eyes
Are matched by heavens celestial blue,
But in thy trustful look there lies
The unspoken promise to be true.
love thee for some subtle charm.
That seems to draw my heart to thine,
Thy voice and look my fears disarm,
And tell me thou art only mine.

No worldly wish holds thought of thee;
And since thy heart reveals the same,
How bright with hope our lives may be!

Dear Sir-I will most cheerfully add my testi-
mony to the great number you have already re-
ceived in favor of your great and good medicine,
VEGETINE, for, l do not think enough can be said
in its praise, for was troubled over thirty years
with that dreadful disease, Catarrh, and had
such bad coughing spells that it would seem as
though 1 could never breathe any more, and
God all the time that there is so good medicine
as VEGETINE, and also think it one of the best
medicines for coughs and weak sinking feelings
at the stomach, and advise everybody to take the
VEGETINE. for can assure them it is one of the
best medicines that ever was.

Farewell farewell, dear home elysian,

Shall ye abide forever
Thy sylvan lake and winding lane,
So beautiful when shines
The morning sun DER. fields of grain,
Shall be but memory's shrines.

Drifting down the tide,
While the touch of q vanished hand'
L1ngers but to chide.
Thy verdant shores, oh! Island home,
Are fading from my gaze,
pilgrim far must roam
From all thy hallowed ways.
Other footsteps through thy halls,
Oh! forest home, shall tread,
On the hearth the cricket calls
The spider weaves her thread
Across the door where have stood,
And watched the sun go down
Beyond the silent, solemn wood,
That shades lonely mound.
Thy forests brown and fields of corn,
In Fall-time's wealth of gold,
Shall echo to the hunters horn,
AS in the days OF old;
But shall be far, far away,
When Autumn leaves are falling,
Sitting in the twilight gray,
Sweet memories recalling.
