Only an emigrant lying there On the rock: bound cost of Halifax bay, With the salt sca damp on his yellow hair, And his face aghast in death's dismay | Only an emigrant | one of five hundred ; Hurled to his doom when someone blunders ed. When the rich go down we may reckon the cost, And value their lives and what they are worth; But who will weep for the emigrant lost-- This clod of clay which cumbered the earth 1 Drive the nalls In his coffin lid, And let his corpse from our sight be hid. But list, I pray. Leagues on leagues away, In a turf-thached hut on the Irish shore, There are human hearts which are breaking today ; And bright hopes dashed forever more, And eyes half blinded with pnssiotate tears, Aud a dreary outlook of desolate years, Ouly an emigrant lying there, Lifeless and mute in Halifax bay ; But his soul was strong, and his skyes were fare, When he left bis home--a month today. He foudled his child aud kissed his wife, Ere be sought new scenes in the bastle of life, Brawney his hands and brave hls heart, And firm his belief that the hour would come When those with whom he dreaded to part Should join him again in his Western home, Hopeful and happy, and rich and free, In a better land beyond the sea. Only an emigrant's family there, In an Irish home where the news Lad sped ; But the terrible look of utter dispair Makes the face of the living as sad as the dead; For the light of thelefives went out that day, When the ship struck the rocks iu Halifax bay. Only an emigrant lying there, With parted lips grown ashen gray, With the sea dimp on his yellow hair, Aud his face aghast in death's dismay | O merciful God ! take his soul to Thee, Ia the better land beyond the sea! ---- Our Davie. Outside there was a heavy, threatening November sky, from which the lurid sunset had died utterly, leaving no light save the faint glimmer that came from the glittering cover of snow that lay an inch deep every- where, Later on, when the clear moon shone out over the desolate landscape, it made almost a pretty picture of Braer castle, with its back-ground of leafless trees and cloudy sky; but not such a pretty picture as the one you could have seen through the unsheltered windows of the quaint old hall, if the win- trom the outside, The great hall, with its five feet of wains- coating and heavy stone-mullioned windows was the really old part of the castle; and, large as it was, it looked very cosy when seen, as on this winterevening, witha bright fire roaring up the great chimney, and soft lamps throwing a subdued light into the most desolate corners, Sir David Dewar, the bachelor owner ot this fine old place, liked light and plenty of room to move in; and as it was nobody's place to interfere with the little whims, he generally got what he wanted ; so, sitting now well back in his great arm chair, with his kindly face a little severe, and his grey head bent in earnest thought, he looked as if no wave of trouble had ever touched his life. There was another figure in the great room too, on which the brilliaut light seemed to have concentrated itself--the figure of a child--a boy, who stood on the white fur hearth-rug. with a quaint, old-fashioned face raised somewhat stunbornly, and thin, rest- less hands, fidgeting with the buttons of his coat. Little Davie Dewar, one of Sir David's orphan's nephews, deserves a paragiaph of description entirely to himself, if only for the sake of his face--a beautiful face, that artists raved about for iis perfection of form and coloring, but that mothers looked at with an aching heart, reading only too clearly the in the brilliant, dark: Having p d the above ly situated Hotel, 1 have thoroughly repaired and renovated the entire premises even to heds.

'Noy said Davie, very low ; and- then he threw himself, a sort of tangled heap downs on the floor, st his uncle's feet and sobbed out. * No, no, no.' ' Uncle David was puzsled and distressed. I promised to believe you, Davie, he said, 80 I must 1 suppose ; Lut I shouldn't like your mother to think I brought you up to lie, I don't quite understand it all the same How would bave told, I think,' ¢ Oh, not Hew,' said Davie, lifting a flush_ ed tear-stained face, and speaking eagerly. ' I'm sure, ob I'm quite sure, Uncle David,' But Uncle David slleaced him with a quick, warning touch, and they both sat listening to the sound of rapid, firm steps along the stone passage--to a merry whistle which came nearer and nearer, until it paused! abruptly on the threshold, in the middle oe the bar--to an impetuous band upon th lock. Uncle David carried his eyes quickly to the fire ; little David hid his face in his white, trembling hands ; bat after that mo- mentary pause neither of them looked up, they both knew they knew instinctively fhat Hew was in the room, 'Halloa I' he said, shading his eyes, and sending his clear ringing laugh into the hall before him ; * I've had such a jolly time out in the stables! What are you up to here you two 7' He looked so bright and handsome, stand. ing in the doorway, with the smow, glitter- iog on his uncovered curls and rough tweed coat, that Uncle David sas for a moment looking at him before he spoke. Then he said, ' Hush, Davie! Hew, come hers at once aud let me look at you.' 'But my boots, uncle,' objected Hew-- 'muddy and wet and no words for them .-- Why, a detective could track me anywhere | ¢ Never mind your boots,' said Sir David ; ¢' I have a question to ask you! Hew came in at once then, leaving a wet impression on the stones, and stood straight on the rug be- fore his uncle, in the very place where little Davie bad slunk back five minutes before. They were as different in appearance as light from darknes, night from day, these two brothers, these two nephews of Sir David ~--little Davie, wan and delicate and beauti- ful--Hew, as strong and proud as a youug eagle, with honest, eager eyes, aud a laugh that it did one good to hear ; but they were very fond of each other for all thateloved each other with that strange unalterable love which lies between brothers oitener than we think, and that never died out between these two until the very end, * What is it ?* the boy asked, pushing back his heavy hair with one band ; * what is Davie crying for | and what is the question?' | *1 was asking Duvie,' said the old wan, leaning forward so that he could lay his wrinkled baud on the soft curls at bis fect, ' about the boat, After I have forbidden it 80 many times, some one had it out last evening, and disobedience, as you know, Hew, must be punighed.' + Oh, yes, of course,' said Hew, ¢ Did you take it?' Uncle David asked, bringing the question home with an cwpha-} [ sis that startled the boy, and mado a red flush, that might have been guilt, rise to his forehead, The young eyes lit up with a flash of almost insolent pride, and the young head was turned defiantly toward the gentle old | man, while the clear Woice said, My Uncle | David?' Then suddenly a pair of great | wan eyes were lifted in piteous entreaty, a | little nervous hand touched the strong brown one that was hanging si Lis side, and he hesitated, The whole truth flashed across bim in an instant, as he shook off the slight touch and moved over to the window ; aud there, as if g an unfinished , he said* ¢ Why, yes, I did." + 0, Hew,' said Uncle David, startled, 'But thank God, you could not tell a lie) The quick red flush crept up again ov: the happy boyish face, but not such a guilty red as dyed the white forchead hidden on Uncle David's knee. Little David rose un. steadily, and put bis hand out to the hand that had sheltered him in every trouble of his life--the strong band that could dare to bridge the gulf between them and touch him now, He shivered a little, and then said, + What, cold, Davie, with such a fire? Good night, Uncle David ; we are going to bed.' +I must punish him," Uncle David thought when he was left alone, because I said so, My dear boys, how can I bave the heart to doit? So the good man, dealt out justice to the two boys he loved, almost equally-- the one for his weakness, the other for his strength, Out ia the passage Hew waited for an in- stant; expecting what 7 Whatever it was it did not come, however, for Davie, waiting too, said and Hew p ly put his hand on the child's trembling form, aod understood and forgave the cowardly heart that could shrink from any physical pain, but could dare to tell a lie. 'I'm in for it now,' thought the boy, with a sort of dogged pride--* the first 1 ever told and to Uncle David, too ! but it's for him,' That was the only excuse he ofiered for himself ; bat, for a minute, he raised the Land that hed been laid over Davies and stood quite still ; then he stopped and put his arm shool- boy fashion eround the child's should- ers and Davie felt quite safe, . To be sent to school at once! That was the verdict Uncle David pronounced in' his | study next morning, and that Hew listened to with assumed incifference. + And when ?' he asked directly. «Well, to.day,' said Uncle David ; much better to get over it at once.' ¢ Uncle David,' said the boy, coming a step nearer, and softening his voice, ¢ I may ood bye to--him ?' gh Wl, Im afraid not,' said Uncle David, wering his voice and lookiog worried and perplexed. * Ho is so ill, you see ; Morris was up with him all night.' «1 know,' said Hew, Then all this peta lent anger seemed to die utterly out ; and he came and slood close in front of Uudle David's chair, and spoke earnestly, * Uncle David, promise me ou your sacred word o. Shi 'itis honor--that it anything happens to Davje,|; f you will send for me directly. It is unjust aud terrible to send me away now,' the lad weat on, almost beside himself with cxcite- ment, but I will bear it as well as I can, if you swear that to me,' A * Of course,' said Uncle David promptly, though his voice was very husky ; "but don't, forget yourself. You may look at the child, too, if you like, but don't speak to him or rouse him in any way, because be is in such pain. I trust you,' Truet him! Who, indeed, could Uncle David trust, if not the boy he had Joved so long; the boy who was running up stairs now, and ia another moment would be standing at the door of 8 hushed and dark- ened room, watching a tangled head upon the pillow? The quick, deep sobs trembled away into silence, the angry heart was sud- denly stilled, as Hew stvod in the doorway for a moment, and heard the rapid, uneven breathing of the restless little sleeper, Then he crept down stairs in his stocking feet, and would have got away unnoticed if Morris, the old buttler, had not come out trom the pantry and waylaid him. 'I'd not have believed it of Sir David, said the man, hotly, ' to send you away like this, Master Hew--and in disgrace too. I've balf a mind to speak out myself and lek him get punished, as he deserves it.' 'Ob, no, you won't, Merris' sald the boy, quickly, ' I forbid you to sey anything ever, Morris, If you went up stairs and saw our Davie's face just mow, you would see if I was not ever 50 much Detter able #0 bear soything than he is.' That was the end of it all, as far as most people were coucerned, Davie got a little better a5 time went on; and when Hew came back from school--happy, cheerful and the winner of two prizes--everyone was ready to recelve him cheerfully. Uncle David held him at arms length, and had tears in hia eyes, as he said, 'My dear lad, this is like old times--I have forgotten everything.' At that Hew turned his head for an in- stant to a certain sunny window, from which a pair of great eyes watched bis every move- ment ; laugh and flush that crept up over the white delicate face, as ho went across and sat down upon the wrm of the chair, taking the thin hand in bis. He saw that the truth of that old story would never be rightly known by any one, for much suffering and much sor- row had blotted out all rememberance ofthat one day from poor Davie's life. He was silent for & minute, perhaps, and then he said, startling them all by his ve: hemence : ' Then we start fair, Uncle David! I feel such a great rough fellow beside you two.'

It is related of Raphel- fogus, a distinguished scholar who was en= sight to this day, umong the most pi treasures, by the medals that came to late to honor those short young lives, but are the crowning glory of many homes; by the silver hairs that shown in bright brown tresses, aud the wrinkles that furrowed smooth white brows. You may count them easiest of all by the names that were added to every churchyard, in that year of grace '85 to the memory of the glorious dead who died at the Crimea, Out of the home with which we have to do they choose their best and bravest, and sent him forth, with the safeguard of many prayers, into the far east. And he said goud-by to them in pride, and kept up their hearts by his Lright and fearless spirits, and went away eastward with the rest ; and Uncle David looked a little older,perhaps,and Davie fancied the house was not pleasant sg it used to be, apd grew tired of his sofa in the sunny window, until such time as the months rolled on their slow course and the troops were comiug back.

Perhaps the most astonishing example of bad proot.reading was the edition of the vulgate edited by Pope Sixtus V. His Holiness carefully super- 'vised every sheet of this wonderful edition before it was sont to the press, and to stamp it with bis authority fulminated a bull that any Printer who, in reprinting the work, should make any alteration in the text would be excommunicated. This was priut- od as & preface to the first volume of the; work.
