had chosen, that not only the room
. where he had ensconced himself, but
the whole OF the house was completely
filled with detachment which had en-
tered the village after his own regi-
ment had been dispersed and housed
for the night.
This was a chilling disappointment
to the honest sergeant; but he was
! Lot the only one without shelter-hi>
half-starved and tiIed comrades were.
! amy OF them, lyiEs unuer the walls OF
the house or crouching on the snow
/ against the fences which surrounded
| the homestead, with no convenience
| for nights rest but his knapsack for
pillow.
Mackenzie had bivouacked too often
to be easily satisfied with the prospect
OF night passed in so comfortless a
manner. He, therefore, carefully sur
Veyed the premises, for the moon for
tunately enabled him to do so.
Every outbuilding however, had its
occupants, and the wearied soldier was
beginning to lament his hard, cold for
tune when he stumbled on what he
justly conceived to be a pigsty.
The entrance to this tenement was
secured by a paddock, or probably it
would have been invaded before: but
Mac was desperate, and hesitated not a
moment to wrench off the bar to his
plgsty IN the hopes of warm lodging.
The pigs he meant to eject, but here
again he recioned without his host. or
rather hosts, for the sly was tenanted
by two enormous hogs. He used every
effort, gentle and ungentle. but they
would not be dislodged; they would
not even rise from their recumbent
posture.
The sergeant paused, but it was only
for a minute; he was painfully weak
and miserably cold-he looked enyi-
ously at the stubborn pigs, which were
lying back to back, and threw himself
down upon them in transport of an
ger, revenge and despair.
Even this did not rouse them entire
ly from their deep slumber. They
were sensible of an additional CON-
panion, and grunted pretty loudly in
evidence thereof; but they were hos
pitable, good-tempered swine and by
degrees edged away so as to let their
military guest sink gently down be-
tween them, and there the unfastidi-
GUS Highlander fell fast asleep. and to
use his own words got into a beautiful
persioration, and woke in the morning
thoroughly refreshed and as lively as
a lark.
1t is to be feared, however, that the |
pigs made an earlier exit from the
world than was intended through their
strange bedfellow; for Mackenzie |
could not help relating his sleeping ad-
venture to his captain who reported |
the whereabouts of the fat hogs to his |
commissariat, and provision for the |
army being scarce, it may be surmised |
that they were taken to comfort the
inner man of many poor fellow, after |
they had externally contributed to the |
rest and refreshment Of Mackenzie |

VINO Wrote Anonymous Letters Ra-.

The authorship of certain annov;n
anonymous letters, rejecting on Mrs.
CORNELIUS Vanderbilt, formerly nssSs-
grace Wilson, seems likely to be trassss
through the arrest of Albert V. Sudgeu,
Jr,. former valet to Richard T. Wilssn
1hese letters were written on lettsr-

that Sudgen's handwriting is very

THE DESERT TO BLOOM.

The ready finding of water in the
Soudanese desert, through the sinking
of wells by the British engineers who
are constructing a railway along the
Nile, shows that, over immense regions
in Africa, Arab fatalism, inertia and
iLcapacity for progress have been the
real obstacles in the way of making
the countary fruitful. The possibility
of producing water by digging other
wells than those which were dug in the
time Of Abraham, Isaac and Ishmael,
seems hardly to have occurred to them.
Now the water is shown to be readily
accessible, the natives (other than
Arabs will doubtless multiply wells
cultivate tracts and villages, and the
so-called desert will be gradually
redeemed to the use of man. The
Arabs persist in believing that the
water so found must be from subter-
ranean passage to the Nile.

COMMUNICATED.
THE FADING YEAR.
Farewell, a long farewell,
We watch beside the dying year,
With sadden'd h. art nd falling tear,
And whisper low, farewell
Goodbye, old friend, goodbye,
Thy sands of life are ebblng low
Alas, that we must let thee go,
And give the last goodbye.
o, fare ye we'll, for aye,
We hear the tolling of the bells;
Hsrk Can they be thy funral knobs
Calling thee far away?
YEA even so, farewell
Thou'lt soon be Numbered with our past
Old years, that came and went so fast;
Then, we to each will tell
The story of thy reign.
Twas one of miugPd smiles and teals;
Bright lights, dark shadows; hopes and fears;
Peace, blending oft with pain.
Farewell, a sad farewell.
Our thoughts TO thee will foldly turn,
sTill mem'ry q lamp shall cease to burn
Thou'lt in each nem'ry dwell.
A last farewell, old year;
While lingling on the shores of time,
We~her cen now the bells all ctim.
Ing in our glad New Year.
The young New Year we greet,
According to Gods holy writ.
This Stranger We take in, with fit
Ting welcome, true and sweet.
Come, take thy kingly throne,
Reign with full majesty and might
Thy kin sdom fair, with sceptre bright,
And royal golden crown.
The old year left with thee,
(For us) the gift of gifts 80 dear;
This serves to draw thee doubly near,
A New Years gift SO free
Whsteer thy days may bring,
Well we come with brave hearts and strong ;
And bles; our God this New Year long,
While to tho cross we cling.
