"Well. said old Colonel Fenwick.
as a number Of young people begged
him for story, i'm my native village
there was once a girl named Ruby.
Hers was very singular name, but
Jas her mother was very fond Of the
gem, so thus she came by her name.
In the same town there was man of
about nineteen. The girl had a yacht
named The Sea Queen One day she
ventured out farther than usual from
the shore and storm came up very
suddenly. The yacht commenced to
rock in a most alarming manner. Be
fore she could row to shore the boat
capsized and she was struggling in
the water.
Suddenly tiny black speck shot
out from point of the shore. 1t was
another boat. Its rover was a sturdy
man named Charles Wales
"Was it the same one you spoke OF
before2p asked bright-eyed girl Of
the group.
"The same, " replied Colonel Fen
wick. He reached Ruby not a mo-
ment too soon. / have not told you
that she was child, almost. Charles
sprung out OF the boat, lifted her in
his arms and swan with her to shore.
She felt herself being borne as it were
through the air. Both landed safely
on shore. Charles was somewhat ex-
hausted, indeed, bat in no wise injured
As for Ruby, she did not regain con-
sciousness again for several hours.
All signs of life had vanished, when
suddenly she opened her eyes and
asked, Where am r. and was answer
ed by Charles himself, You are safe. "
He then told her the whole story. "
:" And did you escape uninjured2'
she exclaimed after he had finished. /"
/" Yes, without even Scratch he
replied. But you must not talk, he
continued, for the doctor left special
orders for you not to. But, Ruby,
he said, before you go to sleep let me
ask you one thing, Will you be my
wife?' .
"And she placed her hand in his
and answered firmly, 4 will :"
"'When shall we be married. he
inquired. I"
"At Christmastide, and that
Christmas was made happier by the
union of two souls.

Miscellaneous Notes.

By diligence and patience the mouse
Bit into the cable
All things are easy to industry. All
things difficult to sloth.
1t robs the world for a man of abili-
ty to live in idleness.
Nobody works harder and gets less
for it than the hypocrite.
Be generous. Meanness makes en-
emies and breeds distrust.
Trust in hard luck. Inscribe on
your banner: Luck is fool, pluck
is hero"
The pond is an ocean to the tadpole.
An investment in knowledge al
ways pays the best interest.
A set of mortals has risen who be-
lieve that truth is not printed spec
ulation but practical fact
Common sense is not in the same
class as genius, but it often gets the
most solid comfort out of life.
Some people seem to imagine that
they can make up fol. lack ofdeeds by
a surplusage of words.

Spanish-American commerce is

In the last fifteen years about $3.50,
900, 600 have been invested in 2,75o

vested in about s, 600 isolated plants.

God never fails to find the man.
When mighty deeds are waiting
For full perfection Of His plan,
Some new, sublime creating
When wrong has srsmpled Ger the
land,
And burdens hard Cypress it.
The men are there on every hand,
To so in and possess 1t.
To-day His voice is heard, and some
Have hardened to its calling;
oh, men heroic, listen come,
On you the need Is falling;
Come to the field OF active strife,
With brain and heart on fire;
A Nation looks to you for life,
In you is its desire.
Put self aside, oh, man. today,
BE blind to all ambition;
Ills God who calls; no hands can
stay
His will till its frui,ion;
Your strength is needed In this hour,
When truth and best endeavor
Are called to weld mighty power,
And build to last forever.
Come at the call; some future day,
When human wrongs are righted,
Our land reclaimed from errors sway
It's heroes shall be knighted;
And priceless coronets of fame,
No kings of earth are wearing,
Shall bear untarnished every name,
In all its triumphs sharing
