the latter were not Dleased with It, and de-
manded potatoes instead. Mr.. Brewer told
them he had none, and. of course, was unable
to accom- modate them. The mob of native
parbarians then became violent, and began a
iGrlous attack upon Mr. Brewer and his de-
fenseiess family. He bravely fought for some
time, defending the lives OF his near ones, but
at last, after killing thirteen of his assailants
ne fell a victim. with his family, to- the unjust
rage OF the assassins. They then plundered
the house and carried off every valuable arti-
Gle they found on the island. Selling one of
hif. Brewers vessels, they embarked and sailed
for parts unknown.
The history OF Mr.. Brewer fully shows that
ne was a man OF energy and enterprise. He
was universally losed and respected in Chilli
and many were indebted to him for his eener-
osity and good heart. Mr. Brewer had accumu-
lated a fortune of 100000 when he returned to
his native country, the United States, but
there lie soon lost every dollar he had earned
in Chill. Bnt this failure did not discourage
him, ancf after marrying, he concluded to re-
turn to Chill, the home OF his former happiness
and success. and went to work as an en-
glncer on the railtoad between CHILEAN and Tai
cahuano, which Mr.. John Slater, the American
railway builder, was at the time constructing
IN Chill. Mr.. Brewer succeeded we'll, and
having accumulated another fortune entered
into partnership with Mr.. Alemputer and rent
cd the island ST La Mocha from the CHILEAN
government. Here again. he was increasing
his fortune, blrS in the midst Of his happiness
and success has been murdered in cold blood
together with hss lovely wife and innocent
children.

Paul & Pacific railroad.
The distance, over the Northern Pacific, of

What is lacking is the power to
rise above the petty annoyances of
daily life; we need to distinguish
trifes from affairs of moment, to
know that every mole hill is not a
mountain. We need not forsake
the upper strata of sentiment,
thought and ideality-tbe atmos-
phere of the soul-because we know
that there is a lower one of routine
and small vexations, in which our
feet are told to tread. To breathe
in the one is to receive strength and
refreshment for exortion in the
other. 1t is a very good plan to
pick up needles and pins from the
floor, but picking pins ought not
to be made the chief object of ex-
iStence, for if we move along with
our head constantly downward, we
most assuredly will see nothing bet
ter than pins and needles to the end
