We learn from Mr.. Bowler of SomeryiIle
that the girl Annis NJ. Hallowell, who has

Farrin, was adopted INTO his family when
she was seven years of age, and remained
in his family until she went away

treated her as well as though she
were his own child, and gives her a good
character until she became infatuated with
Farrin, which is the cause of all her troubles.
She was a good girl while in his family, and
bade fair to make a good woman.
Farrin's father and mother live in Som
erville, and he was brought up there,
and nothing bad was known of him until this
affair occurred. Mr.. Bowler feels very
keenly about the disgrace of the girl, but
thinks she is deserving of sympathy

Following o Streak Of Wind.

A tributor of Ruby Hill was asked
how his ''pitch" looked, when he made
the following curious .1emark !: 81 am
following q streak of wind. Strange as
this may appear (the remark, not the
wind), yet it is true. 1t appears that in
sinking upon his piece of ground he
came upon a crack in the rock about
three inches in width, from which issues
considerable air. Where it comes from
and what the miner may strike in fol
lowing this strange lead must for the
time remain a mystery" The miner
was right in following his "streak of
wind" He doubtless understands that
this streak of air breathed out of the
depths is liable to lead him to a cave,
and he also knows that a cave is liable to
contain an amount of ore that would
make his fortune. Among the old lead
mines Of Galena, Illinois, a ''streak of
wind" or 'breathing crevice." was al
ways considered a first class indication.
When a miner found that he was pretty
lure of finding a cave filled with lead
ore. The lead mines of Galena are in a
limestone formation that is much the
same as the formation about Eureka.
"Wind" from a crevice down in the mine
is worthy of much consideration, bui
"wind" on the surface from the horizon
tai c~revice, an inch or so below the
miners nose, is often nothing but wind.

English Speculation.

just at the present moment there is a
strange lull in the speculative wind
which has until recently been rampant
and apparently smitten every English
man who had any money to invest. The
mining market and the electric lighting
market have been equally dull, and the
public, which recently rushed blindfold
into undertakings to .'win'' domestic tin
and copper, or foreign gold and silver,
is now awakening to that fact that the
golden hopes held out by the promoters
of these enterprises will fail to be real
lied. The experience of British invest
ors has lately been most unfortunate.
For every mining enterprise that has sue
ceeded a score have proved lamentable
failures. and millions of funds have been
literally thrown away upon undertakings
which any ordinarily san mar might
have known could never succeed. Dur
ing the past few years a few successes
may be chronicled; but for every s.Rich-
mond'' there have been a dozen ..Em-
mas" and for every s'Cape copper mine"
twenty '.Rubies;'' and other conspicuous
failures may be chronicled.
The Indian gold mining rage of two
years ago is a remarkable instance of the
%gullibility of the British investing
public, and the tendency of men to fol-
low each other as sheep follow a bell
wether. The bell-wethers, by the wav,
usually take good care to clear out at a
profit and leave their hapless following
to its fate. :
Although, while the s'rage'' lasted,
nearly all the Indian mining companies
shares went to a high premium. they are
now, without exception, p~urchasable at
a considerable discount, while many are
unstable at any price. An attempt was
lately made to galvanize the Indian
mining market into activity, but the
effort has utterly failed. 1t was an.
nounced that some concentrated pyrites
from one of the Indian mines had been
assayed and showed results equivalent
to twenty ounces per ton; but this news,
which a year ago would have added
thirty per cent. to the value of the shares,
has scarcely caused them to move.
About fifteen months ago a memorable
telegram announced that the % Indian
Gold Mines Company of Glasgow" hat
crushed twenty tons of quartz, the frs
two yielding four ounces of gold per ton.

ACROSS Fl YALE.

Childhood dwells in a charmed cline,
On the orient borders of Life and Time,
Where the heavens bend low to the flowers,
and the bright,
Uncertain Whether these c%onfnes be-
Tracts of Time or Eternity;
So that the days like summers seem,
And the summers reach to an infinite dream
OF beautiful earth and sunny sky,
That scarce moves by.
Through realms of passion and fair romance,
Where still the rosy and silver streaks
Of that earlier cline tint brow and cheeks;
And vistas of hope stretch endlessly,
With apples of gold on every tree,
And pendulous visions melting in air;
Just seen the castle of black-browed Care;
While the honey-laden minutes HE
More swiftly by.
In the valley beyond a village lies;
A rainbow laughs in the ~changeful skies.
i see the young men making bay,
A mother watching her babe at play,
And steeples, and ships-for a river runs near;
The humble of grinding mills I 1 hear,
The ripple that chases a flying keel,
A lisping forge and the ring of steel;
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS domestic hum;
The sound of an ak and a fife and drum,
And q sections pick in the churchyard nigh;
While the hours glide by.
To a mighty city the river flows;
With palace and temple its mirror glow
And foundry smokes, and a prison roof,
And white doves flying high aloof,
And men and women whose pictures pass
Forever athwart that moving glass,
Joyous and eager and fevered and wan,
Pursued, pursuing, they hurry IN.
swift, oh swift the moments nowi
The hours escape, we know not how,
Till the jewellers beside that river seem
Themselves but mites in a CLASSY stream,
Over whose surface the blue days fly
Like bubbles by.
Forth from the city's portal. Age
Fares on his frightening pilgrimage;
Trembling staff and silvered brow.
Few and fewer the comrades now:
Ways have parted, and one by one
And many a sweet hope ceased the while;
Ever a white stone marks the mile;
Till far away in a sunset land
Isee the faltering pilgrim stand,
Casting many q backward glance
At chlldhood's Eden and youths romance;
Village and city he dimly sees
Through the thick cemetery trees;
While, mufled and dim, like the sheeted forms
Of rain ghosts blown by autumn storms,
Hurrying phantoms that nook the eye,
The years sweep by.
Betwixt the living and the dead,
In a dell by angels visited,
Walks hoary-headed Ecstasy,
And sees In q vision Eternity
Turn as an hour-glassi in Gods hand:
Worlds and suns are the whirling sand.
O, happy he of the sons of men
Whose pathway leads to that holy gleni
In blissful light his footsteps climb
Once more the verge of the Vale OF Time,
Over whose golden borders Cow
Sunset splendor and orient glow.
There both are one; and toll and tears,
And minutes and hours and days and years,
Are lost in the glory of God'sdeep sky
That moves not by.
