DUTCH VIEWS.
Landscapes ms Seen Between Rotterdam
and Delft.


In going from Rotterdam to Delft saw
for the first time what Dutch landscape
really is. We started one afternoon from
the Delft Gate on a steamboat unworthy of
the name. 1t was q sort of barge with cabins
fore and aft, and engine and smokestack
amidlships. The craft was painted green
with white stripes. The roofs of the cabins
were asphalted, and on the roof of the fore
cabin were folding x chairs while on the
roof of the aft, or second class cabin, were
pIaced'queer, stubby little benches about
six inches high. We wondered why the
Dntchlnen liked TO sit so low, but being
sirangers we made no remarks. The start
was uneventful. We took on board three
pigs much against their wills-an ice
cream machine with its roof and filings,
several hampers and baskets of fruit,
young Partisan married couple, Georges
and Therese, and some odd native passen-
gers. BY means of poles aud strenuous eff.
forts the boats head was got round, and we
steamed ahead. Remark that during the
difficult operation of taking the pigs on
board and turning the boat scarcely word
was spoken the sky was gray; the water
of the canal was still as IN an oil tank the
tranquility was only disturbed by an old
man who was scooping water out of the
canal with long shovel and Ringing it over
the quay to lay the dust regardless of the
convenience of the passers-by, some OF
whom mildly protested Soon after start

board, towed along by the eldest sister and
nm ugly, bastard bulldog harnessed togeth

ing. Then we sighted n bridge, apparently
only about six feet above the water; We
neared the bridge, but the bridge neither
swung round nor rose in the air. How
were we to pass under it? The situation
became alarming the nearer we approached.
Georges and Therese grew pale, but the
steamboat continued its course. Then with
rattle of chains, the funnel was lowered,

STORY OF A NUGGET OF GOLD.
Where One Of the Finest Cities In victorIn
Ii Founded.

In an Australian mining camp at one Of
the tents sat four men-June 10, 1865
talking earnestly of their future and be-
moaning the past. For several months
these four men had worked together in the
same claim, sometimes getting barely suffi-
cient for daily wants, sometimes not even
that. For several weeks, indeed, they had
labored without any result. After long
discussion they decided to abandon the
claim. Down in the mine the three looked
gloomily around with kind of sulky regret
Mt having to leave scene of so much use

you farewell blow and ra Using his pick
he struck the quartz, making splinters fly
in nh directions. His practised eye caught
glittering speck ON one of the bits at his
feet. He examined it and the place he had
struck, when with loud exclamation he
knelt and satisfied himself that it was gold.
He then commenced picking vigorously.
His mate caught the meaning and followed
his example. In dead silence they worked
on-they had discovered monster nugget.

At Forty.Eisht.
AT twilight, vis-a-vis with fate.
She sat, unhappy and alone.
Her milestones numbered forty-eight.
No other pathway crossed her own.
Notender voice robbed age OF gloom,
No smiling faces cheered her sight
There only glided through the room
The phantom OF dead delight.
How dim and drear the pathway seems"
She said, I" to me at forty-eight;
Long since wakened from my dreams
seek for naught, for nothing walt.
am like one who blindly gropes
Toward fading sunsets in the west;
Behind me lie youths shattered hopes;
What can ask for now but rest?
Some joys sought with heart on fire
Would find me now, but ali too late
Watched ambitions funeral pyre
Burn down ere was forty-eight.
"With naught to hope, expect or win,
This lonely lot remains TO me, -
To count the wrecks OF what Has BEEN
And know that nothing more can be-"
Too sad to weep, too tired to pray,
Alone she sat at forty-eIght,
While sunset colors paled to gray
How desolate, how desolatel
