spot three light. houses have been erect

third, which Is now standing, has lately
been pronounced unsafe, and must give
way to 9 fourth.
Another of the important hight
houses of the world is that on Mlnet's
Ledge, Massachusetts, Bay,a reef which
lies in the way of all vessels coming
seaward to Boston. Here, too, the first
house built was carried away IN storm,
and SO great were the difficulties of the
position that it took nearly six years to
rear. its successor.
The material most largely employed
in the building of lighthouses, or Of
those that occupy reefs and exposed
situations, is stone but for shoals,
where good foundation cannot bo Sc

iron piles strongly braced together
around a central column which supports

under the direction of Board of the
Treasury Department. In England
they are controlled by private compa-
ny dating from the time of Henry

of "The Corporation of the Elder

provisions have generally declined,

All this decline in pricer, it il
important to observe. is lot of such
character AS to check production,
or to bring loss to producers or dis
tress to laborcrs. 1t does no: cost
$32 per ton 10 make iron in this
country, nor 81 per bushel to grow
wheat, and the largest crop of cot
ton ever grown in the Uuited Ststee
was planted when the price had
for months averaged barely nine
cents per pound. Reaction from
the unnatural advance in prices,
caused by speculative combinations,
was natural aad necessary, and it is
we'll that it has come in time to ar
rest the serious evils which that
unnatural advance was producing.
The country could not long afford
to take from abroad iron and steel
costing s4,oo0.ooo per month, and
to have its surplus wheat and cot
ton thrown back upon producers.
Specie pay ments furnish natural
and sure remedy for such false
scale OF prices as would close
American mills and ultimately
American furnaces, and check
wheat-growing and cot
ton manufacture I; and the remedy
has been applied SO promptly that
any serious disturbance Of business
will probably be averted.-Nea1

harm, when they found him peaceful
but were much interested in his arm:
and dress, for they hadn't at that time
seen many white men. The snowshoe:
they urerstood all about, for you know
the Indians invented them but the
skates puzzled them.
/ A funny thought seemed to occur to
the hunter, as he saw their curiosity,
for his gray eye twinkled merrily. "Ice
moccasin," he said, putting skate on
his foot, and then he made with his
hands the gliding motion that the feet
take in skating
ugh !" grunted. the Indian chief,
pointing TO the narrow blade of the
skate, and shaking his head. As
plainly as looks could do it he made the
hunter understand that he wasn't SO
green as to believe that anybody could
stand up on those things. AS they
were near the ice, Thomas proposed to
fasten them on young brave for tri-
al.
The Indians welcomed the plan with
glee, for though savages, they wore
great lovers of sport. Selecting the
bravest and swiftcst young fellow, the
chief bade him stick out his feet, which
he did rather suspiciously. The skates
were soon strapped on. and the young
buck helped to his feet The ice was
like glass, and as he started to move
you know what happened; his feet flew
out flom under him, and down he came
with crack! Such shouts of laughter
as the rest sent up! The young fellow
was gritty, and scrambled up to try it
again, but with the same result.
The chief now signalleG to the hunter
to show howthc things worked. Thorn
as fastened on the skates with great
care, picked up his rifle and used it as
a cane, pretending to support himself.
He moved about awkwardly fel. down,
got up and stumbled around, the In
dians all the time laughing and capcring
at the sport. Gradually Thomas STUN
bled little further away, whirling
about and making believe it was very
hard work to keep his balance, until he
WAS near Tie point where the smooth
lake ice stretched miles and mics away.
Suddenly gathering himself up he
erasped his rife irml*, gave war
whoop as wild as the Indians own, and
dashed up the lake like an arrow, skat-
ing As he had never skated before. If
he had disappeared il the ar the Indi-
ans couldn' have been more astonisocd
Oh course they couldn't hope to catch

married than thefe is in eating
peanuts. Menny man has stood

marry an angel; they have all been
picked up long ago. Remember,
Joe, you ain't saint yourself. Do
not marry for huty exclusively;
huty is like ice: awful slippery,and
thaws dreadful easy. DON'T marry
for luv, neithe; luv is like cook

Stories Ted the Boys.

A story of skating It's SO long since
put on pair of skates, that / should
be as awkward as bear on ice. And
nothing ever happened to me to make

a field of ice near the woods once by 4
screechowl in the pines. 1t was al
most dark, and we had never heard
such an unearthly scream before. ''1t's
a wildcat - shouted one of the boys; !;
and by the way in which we scuded for
home you would have thought it was a
race for the village championship.
Did you ever hear how the hunter
who was taken prisoner by the Indians
showed them hoE to skate? No? Then
It's Just as good as new.
1t was hundred years ago, in the
old pioneer days. Away up at the
northern end of the great lakes bold
hunter and irapper made his camp. He
hunted for fur in the fall and winter
He knew every river and creek, every
hill and valley, in the great woods, bet
ter than you know the streets of the
town: and he studied the cunning
ways and bright tricks of the beaver,
otter, mink and martin, until he knew
just where and how to set his traps for
them. He bought a good many skins
of the friendly Indians who lived near !;
and early every year he would take a
big load of them to the nearest trading.

lead, with tea, sugar and other good
things for his table. The hunters life
isn't half so fine as the story books
make it; but old Thomas Judson-for
that was his name-enjoyed it better
than any other.
In the winter he had to wear snow
shoes in going through the woods to
visit his traps; and one year be brought
back psir OF skates, that he thought
would be handy when the ice was
clear. And very handy he found them
at such times, for he could skate doz-
en- miles as easy as he could walk two
and the pack on his back never seemed
so light as when he his shoes on, anc
could skim along the CLASSY surface o
the lake or river.
One very cold, clear day, when tn
ice was good, he went to visit SOM
mink traps, almost twenty miles nortl
of the cabin. He skated to near th
spot, along the shore of the lake, an,
then took off his skates and put on hi
snow shoes to travel over the deep sro,
a mile or, two into the woods. III

her cheeks, bnt is she not sweet

thin and shrunkep, bnt those are
the lips which have kissed away
many tear from the childish
cheeks, and they a.e the sweetest
lips in the world. The eye is dim.
yet it glows with the soft radiance
OF holy love which can never fade.
Alb, es, she is a dear old mother.
Tue sands of life are nearly ran

farther and reach down lower for
you than any upon earth. You
cannot walk into a midnight where
she crnnot see you; you cannot
enter prison whose bars will keep
her ont you eau never mount a
scaffold too high for her to reach
that she may kiss and bless You in
evidence of her dea,hless love
When the world shall despise and
forsake yon, when il leaves you hy
the wayside to die unnoticed, the
dear old mother will gather YOU il

and tell you os all yonr virtues un

OVER 1000 EUROPEAN IMM1GRANrs

The year 1880 promises to be

of this country. Du,iug the first

100000 in all, being Ivy far the
heaviest European emigration to
these shores that has occurred in
any year in the entire history OF
the United S ates. 1t has been
generally supposed that the heavy
increase of European emigration
during the present year has been
largely owing to the Irish famine,
but this appears to be erroneous.
The Irish emigration has thus far
not increased proporlionateIy any
more than that of other nationali-
ties, but on the contrary the marx.

Germany and the Scandinavian
countries. The Irish appear to have
a particular disinc!ination to cross
the Atlantic before the simmer
months, and the decided increase
Of Irish immigration will not be
seen until midsummer. a striking
feature in the character OF the En-
! ropean emigration this year is the
large influx of young aud hardy
mep, many of them Scandinavians
who come here to es' ablish by the
labor Of their rugged arms and
horny hands new aud prosperous
homes in the American Republic
This new feature has encouraged
the establishment of a direct liue
from Copenhagen, and one of the
steamers of this line has brough
over here as many as 400 young
men, mostly FROM the agricultural
classes of the Scandinavian coun-
tries, who evidently will be splen

Of emigration since the panic O

in 1877 it had sunk down as low a
