How much I relished this scheme you
will imagine; but to reason with him would
have been mere madness, / knitted my
brows and seemed to reflect, and then said:
well, there is a great deal Of plain, good

that we should bury the treasure. Nor

His greedy eyes sparkled with self-com-
placency. He tapped his forehead and
cried: "Trust to this! There ia mind be-
hind this surface. Your plan for releasing
the schooner is great; mine for preserving
the treasure is great too. You are the
sailor, / the strategist; by combining our
genius we shall oppose an invulnerable
front to adversely, and must end our days
as princes. Your hand, Paul!"
laughed and gave him my hand, which
he squeezed with many contortions of face
and figure; but, though / laughed, / don't

pulled open a bag of matches and fell to

fire ate into them as smoothly as If they
had been prepared the day before. They
were all of one thickness. / cut them to
equal lengths, and fired them, and waited,
watch in hand; one was burned out two
minutes before the other, and each length
took about ten minutes to consum This
was good enough to base my calculations
upon.

THE BIRTH OF THE OPAL.

Eud WRIGHT Htf0G.
The Sunbeam loved the Moonbeam,
And followed her low and high;
But the Moonbeam fed aud hid her head
She was so shy-so shy.
The Sunbeam wooei with passion,
All he was q lover bold,
And his heart was sire with mad desire
For the Moonbeam pale and cold
She fed like a dream before him,
Her hair was q shining sheen;
And. oh, that Fate would ~annihilate
The space that lay between.
Just as the Day lay painting
In the arms Of the Twilight dim,
The Sunbeam caught the one he sought
And drew her close 20 him
But out Of his warm arms startled,
And stirred By loves first shock,
She sprang afraid, like a trembling maid,
And hid in the niche Of q rock.
And the Sunbeam followed and found her,
And led hetto loves own feast
And they were wed on that rocky bed,
And the dying Day was their priest
And, 10, the beautiful Opal.
That rare and wondrous gem,
Where the Moon and Sun blend into one,
FNthe child that wa born t9them-

Guards 50 grimly. guards so we
We may do it--who can telH
There's at least hope we can.
For, you see,
Peter was fisherman!
Fished for sport and Gshed for pelf;
Peter was fisherman
He knows how it Is himself

A Farmers View Of the Church.

Farmers View of the Church.
Well, wife, I've had round with Wayne
Bout jinin' our church;
He tried the skeptic Dodge on me,
The argument of sznicch.
Says he: Look at your members now;
There's Jones got drunk, an Swem
VIII cheat friend to make a trades"
Amt as good as thenl"
Says /: "a butcher buying stock
Does just the way you do;
He hunts around the cattie-yard,
And tipds the meauest two;
Then evfry offer that he makes,
An ev'ry one he hears,
Is coupled with sneerin' words
Jest look a. them two steers!
You pick the meanest Christians out,
An then, with tricky jeers,
You run the whole church down by that
jest look at them two steers!'
No farmers fooled by that ole trick,
An so you can't asord
To risk your soul in tryin' it
Upon the all-wise Lord. -
