A Poem of RECOMMENDATIONS.

Here are some verses that show how
curious the pronuneiations In our Ian
guage are. Read the lines aloud to your
home people, boys and girls.
Our hired man, named Job,
Has got a pleasant job,
The meadow grass TO NOV,
And stow it in the NOV,
In work he takes the lead.
And does not fear cold lead,
Nor is he moved to tears,
When he his clothing tears.
A book that ne has read,
He handed me TO read;
He spends much time in reading,
When at his home in Reading.

SEARCH FOR KRUGER'S GOLD.

Since the late Boer war a new phase
Of treasure hunting has been in vogue
says Chambers Journal Some one
started rumor that ere his departure
from the Trausvaal the late president
had a quantity of bar gold, vaFiously
estimated at a value ranging from one
To several millions, conveyed up coun-
try and buried. The story received
so much cTedence that the British gov
ernmant at Pretoria has provided spe-
cial permits and police assistance TO
various persons who prOfessed to he
able TO guide a search party TO the
hiding place.
The degree OF guiuibility that even
intelligent and educated men can attain
when excited by treasure mania was
amusngly illustrated by a well-known
instance. a young Boer from the dis
JriCt supposed to contain the treasure
called upon a doctor near Johannes
burg and told a straI &c story. He said
that one night while riding To the farm
of q relative he saw lights in a wooded
kIoof or gorge, and recOuuOitering
cautiously, ne saw a party OF men re-
moving boxes from wagon and bury
ing them
Carefully noting the spot. he got
away unObserved and returned next
day, when he unearthed a box which.
OF being broken Openg ne found 10
contain bars of gold and quantities of
Kruger sOyereigns minted on one side
only. In confirmation of the story he
produced three discs of gold, which
appeared to have been struck on one
side with an imperfect die
His object on calling on the doctor
was to borrow ESQ in order 10 procure
a wagon and oxen to remove the treas
urc. He was asked why ne did not
hr rfrsia
make himself independent of outside
financial aid. His explanation was in
genuous. He feared To bring more lest
he might be found with them upon
him.
IL is estimated that more than 10000
has been expended by The various
search parties that have undertaken
