done all through being short-handed had
exasperated him, and he growled at his
wife, abused the missing Ned and looked
so black at the guest that she was fain
to keep out of his way.
Siddy had much to cope with while
his i'll humor lasted, but she bore it as
the richly deserved punishment of her
hasty advice.
In other respects the world went
smoothly. The doctor called on Liz and
predicted her speedy recovery.
But nothing would lift the load that
lay on Siddy's heart, and as she went
home down the cliff side with her empty
basket she felt weak and spiriaess, for
the sight of Lizzie's pale face and the
sound of the heavy sighs the girl
breathed as she sat in the old armchair
with her sewing were continual re-
proaches to her hostess.
Mechanically the sorrowing woman
looked toward the pretty land-locked
bay lying below the rocky ledge on which
she was resting. The smack Of old Aaron
Jones, who had sailed away far beyond
where the other fishermen cast their nets,
had just come to an anchor, and, borne
shoreward by the flowing tide, came the
smacks boat with the first installment of
finny treasures.
One of the rowers, catching sight of
Siddy, greeted her with lusty cheer.
She recognized him in moment. 1t

listed was a false one, invented by half.
tipsy idler. He had sailed in the Won

bargain was too good to be missed.

II. THE RESULT.

Siddy shut her door against the we'll
meaning neighbors who would have con-
doled with her, and all the next day she
sought by working harder than ever to
forget the violence of the reproaches
with which she had driven the weeping
Liz from her presence.
Ned q soldieri sent abroad not to
wrestle with the elements-that was
mans workout to be cut and hacked
by savagesl And her eyes would turn,
against their will, to a wretched daub
upon the cottage wall-a picture of a
battle with the Zulus, in which half a
dozen hideous savages were hewing down
a young Englishman, who, to her excited
fancy looked like Ned.
When the children had been put to
bed this horrid picture kept her company,
till, unable to bear it any longer, she
tore it down and thrust it'into the fire.
"Siddy!" 1t was Liz who had stolen
upon her, and with extended hands was
beseeching her forbearance.
"Ohl bid me good-by kindly, moaned
the girl, "for am going away"
"What's that for2" asked Siddy,
harshly.

place last night, and they sent for doc

were cleaning the paint"
$50 on, - said Siddy, beginning to di-
vine the reason of those fits of irrita-
bility that had often surprised her.
'"The doctor says l have strained the
muscles of my side, and must have a
long rest, and so l am no use here and
must make room for some one else"
'And you have no friends in London,
I've heard you say so. Where'u you
goTn
''The doctor has given me letter for
a hospital. Oh, Siddy say kind word
to tighten my troubles, for they seem
more than l can bearl"
The strong arms of Siddy were thrown
round her, and there was silence, till,
ashamed of her own emotion, the elder
woman began making up the fire and
putting on the kettle.
81 cannot stay" cried Liz. 81 shall
lose the train, and they will not keep me
at the hotel another night.
''Well not ask them. You'll bide here.
You'll have Ned's room, and I'm going
to nurse you well again."
So Liz, her heart heavy, her limbs
aching, submitted to be put to bed, and
there wept herself into resignation.
When Ned wrote-oh surely he would
write, and tell them where he was !-sbC

was; and though unequal to hard work,

The BriarwoOd Pipe Industry.

"The short clay pipe formerly used by
smokers has of late years been to grea'
extent supplanted by the wooden pipe,
the manufacture of which is now an I'M
portant industry" says the 50. James
Gazette "Some interesting information
respecting these pipes is given in Consul
Inglis' trade report on Leghorn, whence
the material for making wooden pipes is
now largely exported. Similar works
are also to be found at Siena and Gros-
seto. Selected roots of the heath-pref-
erence being given to the male variety
are collected on the hills of the Maremma.
where the plant grows luxuriantly, and
attains "a great size. When brought to
the factory the roots are cleared of
earth, and any decayed parts are cut
away. They are then shaped into
blocks of various dimensions with a cir
cular saw set in motion by a small steam
engine. Great dexterity is necessary at
this stage in cutting the wood to the best
advantage, and it is only after long APP
premiership that workman is thoroughly
efficient The blocks are then placed in a
vat, and subjected to gentle simmering
for a space of twelve hours. During this
process they acquire the rich yellowish-
brown hue for which the best pipes are
noted, and are then in condition to
receive the final turning; but this is done
elsewhere. The rough blocks are packed
in sacks containing forty to one hundred
dozen each, and sent abroad, principally
to France (St. Cloud), where they are
finished into the famous G. b. D., or
pipes de bruyere,' known to smokers in
England under the name of 'briarwood'
pines. The production of this article is
considerable, four hands turning out
about sixty sacks per month Consign-
ments are also made to England and Ger
many; but the Anti-Tobacco association
will be glad to hear at present t,.s de-
mand is said to be rather slack

TRANSCRIPTS FROM NATURE.
THE GIANT BEACH.


A million little beech leaves sway
In the warm wind above me hero;
A speclSled marvis sings quite near,
The cuckoo calls from far away,
But only beech leaves can 1 see,
Trembling and tossing carelessly-
A world Of green lost in the fair
Surrounding space Of azure air.
OLD FIsHER-BoAT.
Bright as a FURNISHED shield, the sea
In calm, in moveless peace doth sleep,
Only the tides faint ripples creep
Along the brown sands hushfully,
Till now they lap the old worn boat
That never more on them will float.
A year ago wild storm made
The sands a grave where it was laid.
A HERRING sHoAL, WEST HIGHLANDS-
Between dark hills on either side
The salt sea-loch runs for a mile;
And now, sun-charmed to q smile,
Cleans bright its flowing, frothing tide.
But, lol each wave TO silver turns,
In dazzling fire the whole loch burns
Millions of herring dart and splash,
Each one living lightning flash.

fal-lals; it's waste o. moneyp
81 don't believe her brown gown, twas
the angry retort, 'cost more than that
shawl OF your'n, Siddy; and it's not half
as haring."
After hurting this shaft Ned made his
escape, for he knew Siddy would not
find it easy to forgive sighting remark
on the huge patterned plaid which she
had hitherto worn in happy ignorance of
its ugliness.
But ere long she had forgiven the
speech, and the cause of it, welcoming
pretty Liz whenever she could find time
to visit the fshermen's quarter.
The season had not commenced
yet, and the huge, half-empty hotel was
so inexpressibly dreary that Liz preferred
Siddy's homely kitchen, even though it
was inconviently crowded when the
children came in from play; Joel's burly
frame filled up the end nearest the fire,
and Ned took boyish delight in getting
in the way of the busy wife and mother.
Not that Liz was always a grateful re-
cipient of her lovers attentions. She
had her fits of willfulness, sometimes
evincing an irritability that would lead
to quarrel. Then Ned would stalk out
of the house, refusing to hear the re-
morseful voice that entreated his return
and Liz either fled in another direction,
or when advised to keep her tongue
within her teeth in future, retorted with
the reproach that it was Siddy's fault
she was always making misceief between
them.

heart to be told that !" exclaimed the dis
comfited Siddy. "Don'r you never marry
her, Eddard."
81 don't suppose she'll let me, " replied
Ned, with heavy sigh. The varying
moods of the girl were perplexing him
sorely. 1t was not like her to be so petu-
liant. Had he loved her too well2
His gloomy air fIctted the woman who
loved him with mothers love, till at
last she cried:
''Ha' done with it, lad You'd better

make yourself miserable for chit of q

made, but he lounged away, and was not

Fish in the ROSnhOrus.

Dr. Neale, who witnessed the periodi-
cal passage of fish through the Bospho-
rus, thus describes the scene:
"The wind continuing for two OF
three days from the north, we were sur.
prised at beholding a singular ripping
appearance in the midst of the waters of
the Bosphorus, forming dark serpentine
line about mile and a half in length.
Over and all around this ripping were
assembled a prodigious cOncourse of
aquatic fowls, swans, cormorants, peli-
cans, penguins, solan geese, ducks,
quails, divers, etc., which shrieked in
hoarse concert as they dived upon the
myriads of pelamydes (for such they
were) which 1oated down in mid-chan-
mel. While we were beholding this sin
gular phenomenon from the windows of
the palace, the boats from Constantine
pie and the adjoining villages began to
arrive, and then commenced that ancient
fishery which has been so much celebrated
in the golden verses of Orphan.
"But to return; this shoal proved only
the advanced guard of the grand army of
pelamydes, which were coming down
from the Palus Meotis, terrified by the
first approach of the bleak northern blasts
and equinoctial gales.
Before midday, some hundred boats
having arrived, the numbers of fish cap
tured were prodigious. The boats were
navigated by Turks, Albanians, and
Greeks, habited in the diversified and
richly colored costumes of their reSpec-
tive nations, throwing their seines, and
pulling against the rapid current, bawl-
ing, shouting, and wrangling for the
prize, which they were even forced to
contest with the fowls of the air, who
intrepldly descended TO seize the fish
when struggling amidst the mesfes Of
their nets. They gave life and anima-
ton to the picture, which, surrounded
by the sublime scenery of the Bosphorus,
constituted, as a whole, one of the
most superb and impressive spectacles |
had ever beheld. This occupation con
tinued, without ceasing, day and night,
till the fourth morning, when the last Of
the shoal passed Terapia. Palamys is
the term given by the ancients to the
young funny when under a year old
The funny is the same with the Spanish
mackerel, large fish of the seomber
kind, the scomber thynnus of Linneus,
the arcynus limosa, and pelamys, of other
writers. 1t has eight or nine fins in the
hinder part of the back, which, as well
as the abdominal fins, rise from a deep
furrOw. The tail is of semi-lunar
shape.
"The funny was fish well known
and highly priced by the ancients, hay
ing constituted from the earliest ages, a
great source of riches and commerce to
nations inhabiting the shores of the
Mediterranean, and, in fact being the
principal food of the people of Bithynia.
The periods Of its arrival in the Mediter-
ranean sea were observed and stations
for taking the fish were established on
the capes and inlets most favorable to
that occupation"
