TnE results of Lieutenant Scliwatka's ex-
pedition in search of relics of Sir John Frank
lin and his men are so mcagre that further
attempts to penetrate the mystery which
hangs about the fate of the party would seem
to be useless. But we suppose that in spite
of the report of the Schwatka expedition
other expeditions will be fitted out and more
money will be expended, Tor men will always
have a laudable ambition to make discoveries
where others have failed. The expedition

years ago, and as the EsquimauX had 40 use
for the papers, and OF course knew nothing
OF their value, they were lost or destroyed ,

A Spaniard and His Money.
GFrom Temple Bari


In old Spanish houses there is general
~ very cleyerly-contrived secret recep-
tacle for money, akin to the "secret
drawer of the old fashioned English
desk, and even now this secret cupboard
is much used, the Spanish idea of secur-
ity being-(an idea founded on bitter ex-
perience of many years)-to cage the
windows in iron bars, lock up the house
at night, In winter, draw round one of
the family, look at the money, and then:
"Why, am very safe; all love and all
/ need is contained within the four walls
of my casa. There is, I grieve to say,
a vast deal of distrust of banks and gov
eminent securities, and great holding
to the proverb, g No hay mas amigo
que Dios, y ataa d,tro en- ct bolssttO;
.. e. No friend save God, and dollar
in your pocket ;" And now with the
middle class there is no banking of mo-
ney; the bankers, to begin with, give no
interest, as rule; and so, just as in
Scotland, in the troubled year of 1860,
the goldsmiths were the only bankers, so
now in Spain, the gentry constantly
hoard their money in their own houses;
some put their jewelry and plate in the
nao7ates de 2oaedad.

A Sentimental Blaze

The son of a wel-to-do farmer, who
formerly resided in one of the western
towns Of Otsego county, tells the follow
ing rather good story OF the fire that has
burned continuously for forty-seven
years upon his hearth-stone: In the
month of January, 1881, ON cold win
ter's night, he was sitting by bright,
warm fire which was burning in the old
fashioned fireplace. The hired girl was
watching the cherry blaze with him, and
during their conversation she spoke of
the cold night and how pleasant it was to
have a good fire to sit by, and remarked
that she hoped she would always have
one to enjoy The farmers son said to
her: ''That light will always shine, and
will grow brighter every day." Time
passed smoothly with him and the hired
girl until the winter of 1888, when they
were married. Upon conducting his
bride to her new home for the first time,
he hndled fire on the hearth-stone,
and throughout all these forty seven
years of their married life he has never
allowed 1t to go out. Naturally he has
formed strong attachment for this fire.
1t Is, he says, a constant reminder to him
of the days when he first brought his
bride to her new home. Around it his
children have grown to manhood and
womanhood, and his grandchildren have
gazed into its light, as has also one great
grandchild. 1t was the last light that
fell upon the eyes of two of his children
who have crossed the river to that bourne
whence no traveller returns, and he hopes
that it will be the last light that will fall
upon the eyes of himself and his COM
panion when they shall be called to the
land of eternal light.

One poor woman, in faded garments,
whose voice had uttered a piercing
shrek heard above the general confusion,
had tottered out there, and was bending
in an agony Of grief over her only child.
There he lay moaning on the ground, his
bright maroon ribbons soiled with dust,
his blue satin stained in many places
with crimson blood, and his face, be-
grimed and bleeding, distorted in an
agony of intense pain.

mother-ever forget?
Mr.. Tremaine was not a cruel man, al
though supremely selfish. His first
anxiety had been for La Purcelle, the
beautiful creature of 50 many of his
hopes and dreams. A veterinary surgeon
had pronounced her with no permanent
injury, only unfit for the course to-day.
His second thought was for the little
jockey, and pproaching the group under
the steps, he, too, bent over jamie, to
start back Mortified, as he realized that
the shattered little life was going out

The surgeon shook his head. He had
done nothing to be done. No need to
add to the poor boys pain by moving
him. Where could he be more comfort
able, with those cruel tortures of bones
being driven back into tender flesh and
on to quivering nerves by those relent-
less hoofs? One could not be SO cruel
as to wish the young spirit to inger in
the poor suffering little body.

STANZAS ON SHELLEY.
By FREDERIC w. II. MYERS.


Oh, not like ours that life was born,
No mortal mother Shelley knew,
But kindled by some starry morn,
Lit like Il snowflake from the blue;
Saw on some peak the lightning CLEAN,
The lingering soft auroras play;
Then foamlike on a leaping stream
Sped downward to the earthly day.
SO keen wish had winged his fight
His heart was faint with such desire
To bear from that superual light
A Promethean fount of fire;
His qlivering thyrsus flashed with flame,
He sang the spell long learnt above;
With ardent eyes one only name
He named; the mountains echoed "Love J!
But ali ! for men no healing wrought
That spell, that spirits angel bloom;
Oioee, close about him frowned and fought
Their words of anger, looks of gloom;
Gloomcd overhead the iron reign
OF sitting custom, hates that kill,
From Earth's dark places sighed in vain
Her old immedicable i'll.
"Aud yet methinks one soul might know
The bliss unknown, the tale untold
One heart might melt in mine, and SO
For twain at least the age be gold !"
He called-and ali what mortal maid
Had heard unmoved that seraph tongue?
What Daphne fingered in her shade
But oft In vain shall love be given
When might spirits mourn alone;
Too rarely, rarely falls from heaven
woman-heart to match their own;
lie saw his vision smile in sleep,
And close she seemed. and foated far:
Lifelong across hfes darkling deep
He chased that image of a star.
Yet, with an Orphic whisper blent,
Spirit in the west wind signs;
Gaze from the conscious armament
Some gods unfathomable eyes;
He saw, he felt them: S'Thou be mine,
As am thine, thou primal whole!
Ye clements, my life enshrine,
Enfold, entomb me, soul in soul p
he called; they heard him; high in dir
The impetuous Winds came whirling free;
Dashed on his brow, swept through his hair
Unframed caresses of the Sea;
The fire up-leapt in ardent birth
To her thin substance his to win;
That heart of hearts the dadal Earth,
Her own unfolding, drew therein. #
