The Two Charges at Balaklava.

In describing Balaklava, writers hither-
to have been so deeply imbued with ad-
miration of the Light Brigade charge
that they have generally devoted but lit
tie space to that of the Heavy Brigade;
but the latter was q grand affair, never
theless. The Heavies were dragoon
guards-large, strong men, and, with
their scarlet jackets, white gauntlets and
with the exception of the Grays, who
wore bear-skins,) brass helmets, they
made q gallant show as, charging with
sabres en- tierce, the turf flying from the
hoofs of the horses and the earth liter
ally trembling under their laundering
rush, they struck the enemy with shock
that could be heard all over the valley,
and with an effect that almost chilled the
blood Of the beholder. They fought,
sabre to sabre, against great odds, and
won. The light charge was daring, bril-
liant, dazzling; but at no point did it ap-
pear more SO than when, amid smoke
and flame, they closed on the battery.
Then when men and horses were lost to
view, we knew that they were still there
and doing their duty bravely, for, like
forked lightning playing through thun-
der-cloud, we could see the cleaning and
flashing of their sabres and lances. I
have beheld many cavalry charges since
then, says a letter writer, but the two
charges at Balaklava will remain fresh in
my memory while life lasts.
The Boston Transcript says that
civilian is only another form Of barbar-
ism. or words to that effect. We think

Solomon and the Blacksmith.

The story goes that, during the build
ing Of Solomon's Temple, that wise ruler
decided to treat the artisans employed ON
his famous edifce to banquet. While
the men were enjoying the good things
his bounty had provided, King Solomon
moved about from table to table, endeav-
oring to become better acquainted with
his workmen. To one he said:
"My friend, what is your trade?'
"a carpenter"
"And who makes your tools ?"
"The blacksmith" replied the carpen-
ter.
To another Solomon said:
"What is your trade ?" and the reply
was:
"a mason"
"And who makes your tools ?"
"The blacksmith, replied the mason.
A third stated that he was a stone
cutter, and that the blacksmith also
made his tools. The fourth man that
King Solomon addressed was the black
craith himself. He was powerful man
with barred arms. on which the muscles
stood out in bold relief, seemingly almost
as hard as the metal he worked.
"And what is your trade, my good
man T. said the King. 4a.-.----
Blacksmith" laconioally replied the
man of the anvil and sledge.
And who makes your tools ?"
"Make 'em myself" said the black
smith. .t
Whereupon King Solomon Immediately
proclaimed him King of Mechanics, be-
cause he could not only make his own
tools, but all other artisans were forced
to 60 to him to have their tools made.

Did you ever go out in the morning
with heart 30 depressed and saddened
that pail seemed spread all over the
world? But on meeting some friend
who spoke cheerfully for minute or two,
if only upon indifferent matters, you
have felt yourself wonderfully lightened.
Every child dropping into your house on
an errand has brought in a ray of sun
shine which did not depart when he went
his way again. 1t is blessed thing to
speak cheerful word when you can.
'"The heart knoweth its own bitterness"
the world over, and good words to such
hearts "are like apples of gold in pic
lures of silver" Even the strangers we
meet casually by the way, in the tray
elers' waiting room, are unconsciously
influenced by the tone we use. It is the
one with pleasant words ON his lips to
whom strangers in strange lands apply
for advice and direction in their perpleI-
tiles. Take it as compliment If some
wayfarer comes to you to direct him
which street or what train to take; your
manner has struck him as belonging to
one he can trust. It is hard sometimes
to speak pleasant word when the shad-
ows rest on our hearts; but nothing will
tend more to tighten our spirits than
doing good to one another. When you
have no opportunity to speak a cheering
word, you can often send full beam OF
sunshine into the heart of some sorrow
ing, absent friend, by sitting down and
writing good, warm-hearted letter.

It was "John Halifax, !" published at

her fame, and made the task Of earning
her daily bread q little less arduous.
Seven years later she was awarded a
pension of three hundred dollars year.
She was nearly forty when she married.
In 1865 Capt. George Lille Crailk, an Off
Ger In the English army, who had been in
the Crimea, met Miss Mulock, and, al

her and succeeded in winning her hand
They proved most congenial companions,

My King" was denied the happiness of
feeling baby fingers upon her cheek or
of ever hearing herself called mother.
This was q severe sorrow, but even this
pain has been partly assuaged. Strangely
enough, one dark, rainy night, while she
and her husband were speaking of chill
dren and of the joy and brightness they
bring to SO many dwellings, there came
a loud ring at the bell and then furious
knocking. On opening the door, lying
upon the sill they found basket en-
closed in many wrappinSs. When they
were removed they discovered "a lovely
little baby only few hours old The
child was wrapped in one roll after an
other of India muslin, and on its breast
was pinned a note begging Mrs. Craik to
be kind to the little waif thus brought 10

blood flowed in its veins. Tenderly she
lifted the little thing in her arms, and
her heart opened rs warmly to take in
the poor little deserted creature. They
called the child Dorothea, God given,
and she became their legally adopted

passionately loved as though she had
been their own,

Elephants and Tigers in South Africa

The district of Uitenhage is just now
rather overrun with wild animals of the
larger kind, and an hours ride from the
town would bring sportsmen into the
haunts Of elephants and tigers. On
Monday morning, as Mr.. Fourie, of
Wolvekop, was coming into town, lie
passed through large herd Of elephants
at the Coega. Gen. Nixon's estate, Bal
moral, seven miles from town, is actually
overrun with the huge animals; and they
have become very troublesome on the
generals farm, Doom Kraal. occupied
by Col Ashburner, tearing down the
fences, destroying the crops, and scatter
ing even the prickly pears in all direc-
tions. The place is about eight miles
from Uitenhage. The farm, Kamachs,
which adjoins Uitenhage, and may be
reached in twenty minutes, is just now
subject to great destruction from porcu-
pines, bush bucks, and tigers.
On Sunday afternoon last Mr.. Harry
Marshall, of her majesty's customs, mar
rowly escaped an encounter with tiger.
He was spending the day with Mr.. Clarke
at the farm Kamanhs, and in the after
noon went for a quiet stroll, gun in
hand, along the kloof to the favorite
picnic spot near the dam, and suddenly
came upon tiger drinking at the stream.
He impulsively leveled the gun at the
beast and pulled the trigger, but the cap
missed fire. The animal then, with a
snarl, ascended the celebrated wild fig
tree, the bark of which is scored all over
with the names of pleasure-seekers who
have from time to time visited the spot.
Mr.. Marshall attempted second time to
fire, with no better result than at first.
It then occurred to him that it might
possibly be fortunate for him that his
gun refused fire, for had he wounded the
brute it certainly would have attacked
him.
Mr.. Clarke's ostrich camps have been
greatly disturbed lately by tigers, the
spoors of which have been found in the
camp, and on one occasion the tigers
hair found on the claw of bird indicated
an encounter, in which the ostrich came
off victor. A grand hunt upon the farm
will shortly take place, at which some
exciting sport may be expected. The
danger that Mr.. Marshall escaped may
be guessed by those who remember the
crouching and scratching that Mr.. Hay
ward, of Great Winterbrook, received
some years ago from a wounded tiger.
The brute had been caught in trap,
and sprung at Mr.. Hayward as he ap-
preached, literally biting his wrist
through and scalping him. Mr.. Mar.
shall's animal has not yet been captured,
although parties have been on the look
out for him ever since. - Uitenhagt

All the Rage.

We see nowadays city and country
houses which look rather like shops for
the exhibition of bric-a-brac and rich
hangings than homes in which people ex-
pect to get comfort. The rooms upon
which some famous upholsterer has Law
ished the resources of his stock may re-
mind one of the modern scenic seats on
the stage of theater, and there seems
to be little provision for the substantial
enjoyment of their occupants. Every
thing in them is harmonious enough,
perhaps, except the people. In color
and composition they suggest a picture,
but the inmates of the house are out of
place as the living figures in it. They
don't belong among such surroundings,
and they can't be comfortable amid all
this tasteful and splendid display.
But unquestionably peoples houses
are looking better than they formerly
did, and more particularly those of peo-
pie of moderate means. For the hap
piest thing about the modern decoration
is that its effects are produced rather by
colors than materials, and very inexpen-
sive fabrics will serve the purpose. Cot
ton stuffs, as, for instance, cotton fan
mel, will take the most delicate dyes,
and yield tints of remarkable beauty.
And our own wall papers, which are now
in une1ampled demand, may be bought
for small price, and yet be of patterns
and colors which will satisfy critical
artistic taste.-NeaU York Sun.
