Six Potatoes to a Load.

1 was amused a few days since in
watching a company of laborers at work
digging potatoes in field in valley OF
the Rimac, writes traveller from Peru
A team of oxen plowed up the hills with
a light plow, leaving the tubers exposed
on the ground. Six Indian workmen
picked up the potatoes and carried them
to a pile in one corner of the field, while
the overseer, a Spaniard, stood in ma
jestic and dignifed idleness, watching
the work. The men who were picking
ND the potatoes had neither pail, bag or
box in which 20 carry them. Two OF
them put the potatoes in their hats and
the others carried them in their hands,
each one going from every part OF the
field to the pile in one corner, carrying
five or six potatoes each trip. Here were
eight men and team of oxen engaged in
doing work which in America would be
done by one man and boy.--NeU York

Thou shalt be happy" So told my heart
One summer morning many year ago,
"Thou shalt be happy; thou shalt have tiny
part
OF fmirth and feastings in the great worlds
show;
Thou shalt have health and wealth, high
fame and praise;
Thy place shall be with those who sit taboYe;
Thou shalt have sunshine on the duIest days;
And, best of all, my heart, thou shalt have
love"
Thur in the morning of my days, spake
Unto my heart, and gladly it replied;
''The world is all before US; we can make
JOY for ourselves, a never-abbing tide
So we set out, my heart and I, in mirth,
To seek for happiness-upon the earth.
God gave us health and wealth; and we were
glad
Thus, for a season, waiting Joys 70 come
God gave US fame and praise; little SAD
We were, my heart and /, amid the mum
OF voices lauding US till one, more dear
Than all the rest, spake gentle words and
sweet
Then we grew jubilant with right good cheer'
And happiness came on with flying feet,
Drew near-but passed. Alas! my heart
and 1.
We could not hold the radiant wanderer
fast,
One touch Of her lips in feeting by
Was ours-one precious look-the first,
the last
She will return, we said, with loves new
birth;
There must be happiness for us on earth.
We lost fair health, my heart and l, and fell
Sore sick; were sorrowful, found dreary
ways.
We lost our wealth, and none drew near to
tell
OF comfort waiting us in better days.
But where is happiness' Alack! we find
She is not ours to beckon as we list;
We have no magic spell wherewith to bind
This rare, bright visitant to earth. We
missed
The royal road to happiness; but lol
Something is saved US from the wreck OF
all;
Wehave content, though doubtful blessings
60,
And peace entwines our crosses great and
small.
We learn, my heart and I, the worlds true
worth,
And seek for happineSs-but not on earth.

StereosypinJ by Electricity.

at work on the invention OF machine
which will stereotype a newspaper by
electricity. This certainly seems beyond
all human comprehension, but after the

has been strangely undervalued-aud

THELIVING CHESS-MEN
BY GEORGE E. WALSH.

"This game reminds me Of great
chess-game that l once played, said the
Captain, as be checkmated his oppo-
nents king, and drew back his chair to
begin a story. ''It was the great game
of mr. life, " he continued, land 1 shall
never forget it. In fact, we were play
ing with living chess-men. You don't
believe it, ehl Well, just listen to my
story, and you'll think such playing as
this mere fOoling.'
We had been playing for nearly two
hours, and the Captains skill had won.
His love for the game of chess was only
second to his love for his profession, and
his life as asoldier had given him plenty
Of opportunities to crafty his passion in
this particular.
"You remember 1 spent a couple years
in India, when a young fellow, and dur
ing that time Imet with many adventures
that none of you have ever heard. AL
though have seen considerable service
since then, and some hard work and fight
ing,I think, on the whole, that these two
years were the most exciting of my
life. We were on the constant go,
then, and if we weren't hunting men,
we were hunting wild beasts in the jun
giles.
My friend Captain Rswden was an
English officer stationed at Calcutta at
the time he invited me to visit him. He
had Just taken a wife in that far-ott
country, and they were living happily IN
neat little place a short distance out ot
the city. He wanted me to come out
and see him, and, above all, to select
wife from among the English ladies that
were living there at the time. Jack al
ways took a fatherly interest me in this
way, but unfortunately his plans never
worked out well.
"Wel, to make long story short, l
went out to Calcutta one year, and found
everything just as my friend represented
it. 1t was a delightful place for hunting,
and we did some pretty rough riding
over the country and through the jungieS
in pursuit of game. managed to secure
my first man-eater shortly after ] arrived
and several other tough customers. JACK
roamed over the country with me when
ever he could get away from his duty
and together we succeeded in having q
pretty lively time. Jacks wife was a
pretty, piquant-looking lady, the daugh-
ter Of an old EDglish officer who had
died in the East Indian service. ohe
took a great friendly interest In me, ana
returned her feelings with interest
When we were not hunting we wouiu
spend hours listening to Evelyn's playing
OF singing, which was truly delIgntiu'
recreation.
"Mutual friendship thus grew apace,
and we all three began to look ahead ana
regret the time Of our parting. MY au'y
called me back to America in fe"
months, and was almost as loath to leave
as they were to have me go. Jack valni'
implored me to enter into business In Cal-
cutta, and take up my permanent aDoue
there; but told him that l bad otnel
ties and interests to draw me away; yet
should have almost decided to stay Wit
them longer, if an incident had not oc'
Cured which made me rather tired OF
India.
