A HEROIC LIGHTHOUSE
KEEPER.

The Acadians have tradition that
God enjoined perpetual silence and des-
olation on Labrador and Anticosti when
he gave them to Cain for a heritage.
However that may be, it is certain that
while other wilds of the earth yield to
mems conquest these vast wastes remain
ever void and empty. The Indians
called the island Natiscotte-the coun-
try of walling-and under the modern
corruption of Anticosti it has added to
its terrible renown. Its whole history
from the day it was discovered by Jac-
ques Cartier in 1884 to the present, is
record of human suffering. Here and
there however, there is tale of heroism
worthy of nobler scene. In August
1869. the family of Edward Pope keep
er of the Ellis bay light house, was
stricken down by typhoid fever, and. to
add to his misfortunes, the revolving
apparatus of his light broke. The gov
ernment steamer had gone, and Pope
had no means of communicating with
the marine department at Quebec or
elsewhere. The light revolved or fash
ed, as the technical phrase is, every
minute and half: and if it flashed no
more it would probably be mistaken by
passing vessels in that region of fog for
the stationary light at the west point
of the Island, and thus lead to dire loss
Of life. Pope found that with little
exertion he could turn it and make it
flash, and at once determined to fill the
place of the automatic gear. Accord
ingly this humble hero sat in the tur-
ret, with his watch by his side, turning
the light regularly at the allotted time
every night from p. m. until a. M,
from the middle of August until the
first of December. and from the first of
April until the end of June, when the

first season Pope's daughter and grand
children were i'll unto death with no.
body to nurse them. He waited on them
tenderly during the day, but as night
fell on the iron bound coast he hasten
ed to his vigil in the turret, doing his
duty to the Canadian government and
to humanity with unhinching devotion.
In the second season his daughter, who
had lived through the fever, took turns
with him in the light-room. This man
has saved thousand lives. He died
in 1872, and his deed has never until
this day been chronicfed. for of the
heroes of Anticosti, as of the long roll
of her victims, the world knows moth

The report of the Department of Ag-

only about 100000 bushels. The
oat crop was the largest the country has
ever known. 1t is encouraging to see
that there is a gradual increase in the

need of self sustainment seems to be
more impressed than formerly on that
section, and it is likely to be attended
with good results. The South is now

SHOOTING LOGS IN NEvADA.-A chute
is laid from the rivers brink up the
steep mountain to the railroad, and,
while we are telling it, the monster logs
are rushing, laundering, flying down
the declivity. They come with the speed
of thun derbolt, and somewhat Of its
roar. A track of fire and smoke follows
them-6re struck by their friction with
the chute logs. They descend the l,700
feet of the chute in fourteen seconds.
In dong so they drop 700 feet perpen-
dicularly. They strike the deep water
of the pond with report that can be
heard mile distant. Logs fired from
cannon could scarcely have greater
velocity than they have at the foot of
the chute. Their average velocity is
over one hundred feet in second,
throughout the entire distance, and at
the instant they leap from the mouth
their speed must be fully 200 feet per
second. A sugar pine log sometimes
weighs ten tons. What missile? How
the water is dashed into the air Like
a grand plume of diamonds and rain
bows, the feathery spray is hurled into
the air to the height of a hundred feet.
1t forms the grandest fountain ever
beheld. How the waters Of the pond
foam and seethe and lash against the
shore. One log, having spent its force
by its mad plunge into the deep waters
has foated so as to be at right angles
with the path of the descending mon
sters. The mouth of the chute is, per-
haps, fifteen feet above the surface of
the water. A huge log hurled from the
chute clcaves the air and alights on the
floating log. You know how bullet
glances, but can you imagine saw-log
glancing? The end strikes with heavy
shock, but glides quickly past for a
short distance, then crash like the
reverberation of artillery, the falling
log springs 100 feet vertically into the
air, and, with curve like rocket falls
into the pond seventy yards from the
log 1t struck 7ruckee (Nev.) Repab-
hcan.

Two MANY STUDIEs.-It is pecul-
iarity of the times that young children
are crowded with too many studies to
be profitable, even if they are not act
ually injurious. to their minds. The
intellect needs to be treated in great
measure like the body. Inordinate la
Dor has like effect upon both, being
wearing and exhausting. Young minds
may be overburdened and confused by
having variety of studies pressed upon
them at the same time, and by being
forced to carry along many branches
which render necessary such variety
of thought and investigation. 1t is
sort of hot-house procedure, while though
it produces precocious plants, they are
without much vitality.

Several days followed, in which she
studiously avoided him; yet she was
perfectly conscious that he was watching
her. They seemed to have changed
places-he had become the Argus.
Mr.. Norton grew tiresome to her. She
made no effort to conceal the fact. He
felt the neglect, and straightway restor-
ed his devotions to the former recipient,
the elder Miss Merton, who accepted
them, wisely determining that a respect
able certainty was better than prince
ly doubt, she having fully made up her
mind to begin the new season with a
solitaire on her first finger.
One afternoon she was returning from
the river. through the meadow alone.
AS she approached the fence before
mentioned she discovered Neil. IN the
exact attitude in which we first met
him. He had seen her when some dis
tance off, and was waiting for her.
For an instant she slackened her pace
indecision, then, with sudden resolve,
walked rapidly on, until they stood with
just the bars between them. Excite
ment made her brilliant, beautiful.
He greeted her with, "Have you
heard the news?''
She asked, what news? ?" and ap-
peared as if in a great hurry.
"Why, that Norton and the elder
Miss Merton are engaged"
"Indeed."
Her tone was to Indifferent to render
the word an exclamation.
He looked amused and kept on.
"What troubles me is that younger
one. She will make a shrew if she is
an old maid"
"Why don't yon avert such a contin-
gency by marrying her yourself?' she
asked, sarcastically.
He whistled then, abruptly changing
the subject, said:
"Cora, there are FIVE bars between
u.s."
"Well, what of it?''
Her tone was full of effort after stead
iness.
Il am gong to take them down."
"That is what am waiting for" she
said, shortly.
A smile lighted his dark face, and
utterly dissipated every cloud of cyni-
cism.
"You shall prove your own words, )"
he said: and taking down the first bar,
he tossed it on the grass, and, as he did
so, named it "Friendship." Then the
second fell by its side, pride" The
third was tossed upon the other two as
"Pique," and the fourth added to the
others he named Jealousy" but the
last he lifted, and laying it directly at
her feet, called it Love"
AS he had done this, her face was a
study. When he had finished, her dark
intense eyes were fastened on the log at
her feet.
"What are you waiting for % he said
using her own words, and, holding out
his hands to her, she placed hers in
them. half frankly, half bashfully, and
stepped over the bar.-Pleasant Hours.

TIM E'S CHANGES.
BY MATTE W. ToRREY.

BY MATTE W. ToRREY.
The songs we sang in other years
They greet us now no more;
The loves that reused our hopes and fears,
Are vanished now, and DER.
The friends we love are scattered wide,
Familiar scenes are changed;
And hearts that once were true and tried.
Are lifeless or estranged.
The lip the sweetest smile that wore;
The cheek that bloomed most fair;
The voice that charmed US long before,
With music rich and rare;
The eyes whose lightest glance could still
Our hearts with love enthrall,
Whose smile could bless, whose frown could kill,
Are changed, or vanished all.
The way was bright before US then,
The coming day seemed fair;
We mingled with our fellow-men,
With hearts to do and dare.
The hopes of youth are faded now,
Its fevered dreams are past;
And time, upon our furrowed brow,
His silvery shade has cast.
We, too. are changed, but not in heart
Old Time may do his worst,
He cannot from remembrance part
The things we loved at first
The eyes may dim, the cheeks grow pale.
The SHOWS Of age may fall,
Yet shall our memories never fail
To heed aifllction's call

THE SLEEPY BOY.

know little boy;
And I've often heard it said,
That he never was SO tired
That he wished to go to bed.
Though he scarcely can hold up
His drowsy little head;
Yet this very foolish boy
Cannot bear to 60 to bed.
When the big golden sun
Has lain down to sleep;
When the lambs every one
Are lying by the sheep;
When underneath its wing
Every chick tucks it's head
Still this odd little boy
Does not like to 60 to bed.
Primroses and daisies
Have shut their bright eyes;
Grasshoppers and crickets
Are singing lullabies;
The frefies have lighted
Their lamps bright and yellow;
And I'm sure it's dreaming-time
For this sleepy little fellow.
The houseless little child
Who has no place to sleep,
Who on the ground must lie.
Or in some doorway creep;
Ger whom no clean white sheet,
No blanket soft, is spread,
How happy he would be
Ifhe could only "go to bed"
But with pretty nest
All warm, and soft, and white,
That's waiting for this boy
When It's time to say. Goodnight"
With mammals loving kiss,
And her hand upon his head
How strange a sleepy boy
Should not like to 60 to bed!

REST is COMING.

Somewhere within the cool green earth
There's rest for those that weep,
And better than the day OF birth
That slumber long and deep.
Better TO close the weary eyes
At once In dreamless rest
Better to check the heartwrung sighs
That cannot be represt:
Than thus to live day after day,
With wounded heart and sore,
Or walk with thorn-plerced feet. the way
That darkens more and more.
Too sensitive the tender breast.
To sword-thrusts daily given;
Better to fold the hands and rest,
For such, that rest means Heaven.
