 At last-at last-the end of the rope, and fastened to it, pallid and lifeless, the form of the brave man who had so nobly risked his life. Risked it in behalf of the rough and uncouth men, who, as the death-white face of their preserver ap- peared above the awful chasm, rushed forward, and, wounded and bleeding as they were, lifted him in their arms, and bore him away triumphant. They would not lose sight of him. They lowered around and waited for his eyes to open, that they might grasp his hands, and pour forth their wild and incoherent gratitude.
 Last of all came white-faced girl, agitated and worn with suffering She knelt by the side of the brave man, and laid both her hands in his. And so Nellie found her hero after all.

What it Costs Us for Smoke.

A New York correspondent says The amount spent in smoking by some of our citizens is surprising. New York pays more for cigars than for bread, and this is easily seen when individual cigar bills run up to $500 per annum. know one man who was unable to save anything on an income of $12, GOO year, and who gave among the reasons that 1t cost him $10 per week for cigars. If all his eX- penses were at such rate there could be little chance at accumulation. There are many smokers who average 100 cigars week. These are the men who build up such fortunes as the Gilseys and others have made. Peter Gilsey landed in this country a poor emigrant. He was a piano maker, but opened n clgal shop in the Bowery which his wife tend ed while he wrought at his trade. From this humble beginning Gilsey became one of the most extensive dealers in the city. He had at one time nearly dozer cigar shops, and he left an estate wortl &, ,OOO, ,OOO. The Gilsey House is ope O his creations, and the splendid establish ment known as the "Gilsey Building, corner of Broadway and Cortlandt street is another. The first Broadway ciga store that reached distinction was Johl Anderson's. The unfortunate Mary Rog CTS, better known as "the pretty ciga girl" was in his service, and her tragi end will always be one of the mysterie of New York crime.

Old English Law.

At q recent meeting in London to op- pose the legalization of marriages with q deceased wife's sister, the Dean of Can terbury, who was in the chair, combated on various grounds the proposal to change the law on this subject, and said he be- ieved that the sum of human happiness would be diminished, not increased, by the enactment Lord Hatherley, in sec onding a resolution declaring that the law prohibiting marriage with a deceased wife's sister should be maintained in it's integrity, said the laws of Greece and Rome were both explicit as regards the relations of affinity. An amusing case might be read in Tacitus of the Emperor Claudius, who with difficulty got an in diligence, but after he had married the lady he desired she poisoned him. The laws of England, he maintained, had been against such marriages since the time when Ethelbert was baptized.

NEW MINERS LAMP.--A new miners lamp has been invented in England, which, if it be adequately luminous, ought to be absolutely safe.. The princi1 pie of the contrivance is the substitution of the light of phosphorescence for that of positive ignition, and the apparatus is described as being something like tiny meat screen. The interior of the screen is covered with bright luminous paint, and it is even proposed to fit it up with q shelf or two, so that the pitman might carry in his lamp something to eat when ever, during the intervals of work, he felt hungry. Of course it will be impos- sible to use this sort of lamp as pipe lighter, so that it is not at all likely, il it comes into general adoption, that its inventor will be very popular among the colliers.

The rays of the sun come to us at just the right slant, warming our sys- tenn into delicious desire for repose the soil, easily yielding to the pressure of our foot, frost all out of it, and the summers heat not having baked it into hardness, tempts us to stroll; the green, cheery appearance of the short blades of young grass is so restful to the eye; to be inside four walls is such bore when the birds are striking up their overture to natures divine opera of summer that we feel as though we should like to lean against the south side of fence, pull our hat over our eyes, and whittle and stretch and ynwn all day long.

A Narrow Escape.

A story which is going the rounds in regard to q man saving his life by leap ng from a falling elevator while passing an open door, reminds us of similar escape that occurred here on the Con- stock. G. F. Kellogg, now foreman of the Hale and Norcross mine, was the hero of the adventure At the time he was foreman at the old Yellow Jacket. He started down the shaft on the cage, and when down about four hundred feet the carman returning from the dump with ap empty car carelessly pushed 1t into the mouth of the shaft. The engi- neer, who was wide-awale man, saw the car tumble into the shaft, and did whole pages of thinking in half second. He immediately threw out the brake and let the cage drop down until it reached the 800 level, when he suddenly jammed on the brake with his whole weight. MT. Kellogg heard the car strike into the shaft and come crashing down. At the same instant he also observed that the engineer was dropping him at rate of speed which was about the same as if no cable had been attached to the cage, and he knew what it meant. It was the same as if the engineer had said to him "Old fellow, you hear what Is coming; there is but one show for you, and am going to give you chance for that l' MT. Kellogg grasped the crossbar of the cage with both hands, faced the door of the 50O-foot station, and the instant the brake struck above he leaped through. As he left the cage the falling car struck it and both went to the bottom of the shaft together, wreck of splntered wood and twisted iron.- TirgiHia City | (Nep.) Enterprise.

THE CHILD MUSICIAN.

'' He had played for his lordship's levee,
 He had played for her ladyship's whim, Till the poor little head was heavy,
 And the poor little brain would swim. " And the face grew peaked and eerie,
 And the large eyes strange and bright, And they said-too lato-'He is weary!
 He shall rest for, at least, tonight ! But at dawn, when the birds were waking, As they watched in the silent room, With the sound of strained cord breaking, A something snapped in tho gloom. "'Twas string of his violoncello,
 And they heard him stir in his bed > Make room for a tired little fellow,
 Kind God Twas the last that he said"
