the young mate and the captain, who
had taken his place by his side.

Mabel, who had been standing apart,
hurried forward. Mr.. Vane stepped into
the boat and the last of the crew fol-
lowed. Then panic seemed to seize
them and they pushed off, leaving the
captain and mate upon the doomed
steamer, as long tongues of flame leaped
out toward the boat. Through this fiery

seen striking out for the boat.

left the captain and Mr.. Clay"
The men lHG':ed at him fiercely, but the
steady eye of ,,.o old man awed them and
the two were helped into the boat, the
captain supported by the strong arm of
his gallant mate. The boats pulled away
together, while the column of flame
which shot into the air announced the
fate of the Gray Eagle. They reached the
islands safely after a week had passed.
There is young man who sails
steamer from London to Alexandria
whose name is Win Clay, and he is mar
ried. The name of his wife is Mabel, for
Arthur Vane, having 'found a man."

Poor Humanity.

The common lot is one Of sorrow say-at least

Certainly what would otherwise be bright ex

overhangs it like pail, obscurlng perpetually
the radiance that else would light the path.
Such an ailment, and very common one, is ner-

vous system, condition only irremediable where
inefficient or improper means are taken to relieve
1t. The concurrent experience OF nervous people

N. Eiffel, the builder of the great tower
in Paris, has recently invented bridge
which promises to "fill long felt want"
OF the railroad companies. 1t is to be
used temporarily in the place of the or
binary bridges when they have been
damaged. 1t is made of steel, carries
track, and weighs, with a length of $50
feet, about eighty-six tons. 1t can be
put in position from either end without
the aid of machinery or any preparation,
simply by human hands. At a recent
trial in Paris NJ. de Freycinet and many
officers of high rank and officials Of the
railways from several countries expressed
their hearty admiration of it.
