You have the scene before you.
But not all harmonious is the aspect.
Man comes, as usual, to mar the beauty
of nature. =,
This particular man IS eminently
qualified to scare away any poetic
fancies the scene may have prompted.
He is spare, cadaverous fellow OF
about forty years of age, with sharp
features and red hair, and eyes that
would be bright and swapping. but
that they are so bleared and bloodshot.
His dress is the decay Of gentish vul-
garity. When new, you can see that
his coat has been glossy as the glossiest
OF shoddy; his trousers baggy in shape
and loud in pattern, and his shoes Of
French kid, but the blight Of poverty
is on them, and their original grand
ness makes their shabbiness the more
apparent.
Neither is his manner more prepos-
sessing than his person, for as he
trudges along the road, his lip con-
stantly cur]s with the bitterness Of his
reflections, aud he viciously cuts down
the unoffending flowers with the cheap
cane he carries, as though the beautiful
were repugnant to him.

Jack was by profession prospect
orr who had travelled in the service Of
the companies every acre of that wild
region in search Of ore, and having in
vested his hard-won wages most advan-
tageously, now found himself at thirty
Ave years of age in an independent po-
sition.
Jack was no sybarite. He was hard
drinker and a rough liver, but down in
the depths Of his heart was refining
spot that leavened his whole nature
an intense love for his little bright
eyed wife and his curl headed boy Of
five years. 1t was through an accident
that befell this latter idol of his affec-
ton that, to use his own words, he
''caught on. to the, schoolmaster.
One day little Willie Wilders was at
: tackled by a big angry cur belonging to
Wixon, when Grey, who happened to
be passing, carne to the rescue, and
saved the child from anything worse
than wound in the leg. While the
little sufferer lay crying on his bed the
father, all tenderness, was his constant
nurse. He never left the child's couch,
save when, gun in hand, he went to
Wixon's house and shot the dog dead
on his masters doorstep. a.
From that day Wilders was Grey's
friend. That was how he came to be
vice-principal of the Oretown night
school. ... .@
Usually when the exercises were over
the men departed quietly, but this
night they remained in their seats, and
when Grey looked inquiringly, and old
greybeard rose and said.

"There must be some mistake" Grey
said, rising hurriedly and speaking
nervously. "Gapt. Wixon cannot have
understood our efforts, and as for at

THE GREAT NIGHT SCHOOL or oRETowN.
Mr.. Commissioner Eaton, in his elab-

to notice the night school Of Oretown.
Yet here was great and curious factor
in the educational elements Of the coun-

Inside the gaunt building were gath
cred some hundred miners, chiefly Eng

native American. They were formed
into classes, some spelling inaponder-

ling manfully with the mysteries Of
arithmetic, some laboriously porting
over the page Of a primer, and some
compelling their unpliant fingers to
guide pen over the macy page Of a
child's copybook, but all strangely and
sternly In earnest. ., ~. Is
Eight or ten teachers were scattered
around the room. They were miners,
who had. little learning, or who had
themselves been pupils of the school. 4.

be made Of great utility and
profit If our people would learn
to farm. Instead of importing
hay from the North, North Car

the same cutting. The second
cutting will yield as much as the
