After what. had ocâ€" curred, I expected to receive my conge at. once, but although the stranger was formally installed as resident inspector and supervisor, no attempt was made us yet to re- move me from my former position. The fact was. I believe, that John- son had too little confidence in his own practical knowledge, to Say nothing of his owu courage. to un- dertake willingly the perilous duties of overseer. So greatly did I resent his prL~ soncc, however. that I at first re- soivcd to resign : but, yielding to the cntrcatics of my uncle, and the prayers of Annie. I remained. I soon saw that Johnson was com- pletely in young Redruth's con- fidenceâ€"«was. in fact, his servant, spy, and general familiar. Under his advice. nothing whatever Was done to amend the condition of aiâ€" fairs in the mine. the fittings and machinery of which remained as dilapidated as ewr. On my cum re- sponsibility, hmwvcr, I dosed up the dangerous outer galleries, and forbade the men. on pain of dis- missal, from working the ore in that direction. Although Johnson heard of this. and doubtless report- ed ig to his superior, neither of them made any communication to me on the subjectâ€"just then. I must now turn from the affairs of the mine to my own quiet life at home in my uncle’s houseâ€"which will bind mo. rapidly enough, back to young George lie-drum. -v ..._..c. ”WW ,.--r,,,,_, I had noticvd for several weeks that some important secret comâ€" munion Was going on between my uncle and aunt. What it. was all about I couldn’t guess. but it was eVidently connected in some Way with myself. I often taught them looking at me, and, when detected, exchanging glances of infinite mean~ ing. 1"Was beginning to think of asking for an explanationr when accident made me acquainted with the whole mystcry. I had returned home one evening too late for the ordinary tea. and Was sitting taking mine alone, Wait- ed on by Annie, as I had to neturn to the office again that night, and might probably have to go dOWn the mine. I still wore my miner's dress, but my uncle had changed his, and Was sitting contentedly smoking on one side of the fire, While just opposite to him was my aunt. busily darning stockings.

I paus- ed before the kitchen Window, which Was open, for the night was sultry, and looked in. 0f Weman. My aunt and uncle still sat in much the same position they had occupied when I had left them. but Annie Was gone. I was about to put my head in at the window, and ac- quaint thom with my return. when I heard the mention of my own name. “Yes," said my aunt, nodding her head, “I ha' watched 'cm, and I know Annie favors Hugh, if ever any lass favored a lad." "Well. I hope you'm right, Martha, old gal," my uncle returned. “He be a good Ind. and I shall be glad to call him my son." I heard no moreâ€"I felt like a man who had received a knock-down blow, and I staggered under it a bit. Annie love me 'Jâ€"the old people planning our marriage ? It was all so new it took me a. time to reâ€" cover. But was it true ‘? Were they right, ‘? Did my cousin really care for me ? I glanced back on all the years we had been together, and I concluded that after all it might be possible. Certainly. Annie had given no very marked evidence of her love: but then she was not. a. demonstra- tive girl. A quiet lowering of the eyelids and a little pink blush were more in her line. {my veins, and my heart beat ipainâ€" lfully. Of all this the old people ’ knew nothing ; they had evidently Emade up their minds that Annie and i1 were exactly suited to one an- ?other, and ought to be man and "wife. Whether or not I was glad or {sorry at this discovery. I could not ‘stell 5 my feelings were a. strange Zmixture Which I could not analyze. ' ,Eefore I had time to think very deeply on the subject, the kitchen {door opened, and Annie herself sap- } peared on the threshold. Though it was dark out. of doors. the light of the kitchen showed her to me dis- tinctly. She wore a long black cloak, which she folded tightly laround her shoulders : its hood cov- [ered her head. - .q‘ And then of late she had sorely changed. I had noticed that, and wondered a bit : now the meaning of it seemed clear. Annie, my little cousin Annie. whom I had over reâ€" garded as a sister and a child, had developed into a. woman and was capable of feeling a woman’s love. My thoughts turned from Annie to myself : I began to analyze my own feelings, and to pronounce upon them. Did I love Annie ‘2 Yes, in one sense ; no, in another. Yet my an‘ection for her was of that. strong, deep nature that I might have mis- taken it for love, if that one. all- sorbing episode of my school days had never been. Even then, after a lapse of years, the 'thought of Madeline made my blood tingle in “I am going down to the village. I shan't be long." I heard her say, in answer to her mother's question.

I was the more astonished, therefore. to see her going toward it, alone on a dark night, and as if her very life depended uuon ner specd._ Having reached me ruin, sh‘c pauSâ€" ed and stood as if listenixw. There was a dead silenCe all around, brokâ€" en only by the washing of the sea. I crept up in the shadow of the rum. Presently, I heard a peculiar whistle. Annie said softly, "Yesâ€"I am here.” Thén a. figure, “mt of a man, emerged from the dm‘kncss and joined her. My astonishment at, all this was so great that for a. time I was utter- ably unable ~to.m0\'e ; but. from my shadowy lliding~pluco, I watched the pair. Who the man Was I could not. tell, the darkness completely concealing his features. ; but I saw that he was taller than Annie. and that he was smoking a cigar. They stood closely together, talk- ing earnestly ; but 1 could not. catch a. Word of what they said. Present- ly they began to move away, and I deemed it time to mtcrfcrc. In N") strides 1 was between them â€"Annie uttered 0. scream, the man an oath. But he stood his ground and looked into my face. It was now my turn to utter an exclamation. The man was young Redruth, the master of the mine. The contretcmps was so complete that for a moment neither of us spoke. Redruth being the coolest, was the first to speak.’ “What are you doing here, Treâ€" lawm-y ?" he asked. curtly. “I am here to take my cousin home, sir," I replied. "Indeed," he isnocred ; “I should have thought you were here to play the spy !" “E van that would be better than playing the villain,‘ " I retulnod. Hex-e Annie, seeing a. storm brew- ing, interfered. But 'young'Rcdruth now stepped forward. "Hugh, dear Hugh !" she said, plgcking at my sleeve. “Don’t agitate yourself, Annie," said he, coolly, while I-was ready to knock him down. “And you, sir." he added, addressing mo, "stand out of the way : I have business with this young lady. and I request you to leave us." "And if I refuse ?” He raised a small cane which he carried and struck me across the shoulders. In a. moment I had wronchod it from his hand. and with one Well-planted blow I would have made him measure his length upon the ground, but, Willi another scream. Annie rushed forward and stood between us. “You 'shall pay for this, you scoundrcl,” said my master ; and, without another word, he disappear- ed into the darkness. Annie, still frightened and tremâ€" bling, rushed forward to follow him, but in a moment. I was beside her. “You'll come with me, Annie," I said. taking her hand firmly in mine. By this time, she was crying bit~ 'terly. “Oh, Hugh," she sobbed. “What have you done ! You will ruin us allâ€"yourself, fathor, and all of us !" ‘ But I took no hood of her. I kept. my hold upon her, and led her back acros§ thqmeadgw to the cottage. During the walk, no word passed between us. I was silent, expecting she would give some explanation of the scene I had witnessed ; but us she volunteered none. I said nothing. When we reached the cottage gate she paused and spoke. “Hugh," she said. “you won't tell mother or fut.horâ€"â€"-" “No. no," I interrupted hor. “Don‘t fear for me, but I mean to look aitcr you in the future, Annie.” “Don't be hard on me.

It is said that one of the great enemies of the overland telegraph line in Central Australia is the common green frog. In order to save the insulators from being brok- en by the lightning, they are provid- ed with wire “droppers” to conduct on to the pole in case of'neo'd. The frogs climb the poles. and find the insulators cool and pleasant to their bodies. and fancy that the “drop-‘ mer" is put. there to furnish them with a comfortable seat. After a nap, they yawn, and stretch out a. leg until it, touches the pole.

Baily. of Toronto. at thfi Departmcnt 01 Agriculture. Octawud A despatch from Chicago says 1“ Rev. Frank De Witt Talmage preach- ed from the following text :-â€"â€"I Tim- othy v, 10, “Well roportcd of for good works * * * if she have re- liovcd the afflicted." Well, indeed, may a woman he. rc-‘f ported of for good works in such a World as ours if She have relieved ‘ the afflicted. Such women are sore-v! ly needed. There is sull‘ering everyâ€"ll wliere~in the rich man’s palace and ‘1 the poor man’s tenement. If miyi] woman desires to be Well reported 5 of for good works, she can attain her ambition in no surer, better, way than in relieving the ntllicted. It is a glorious mission that has been chosen by these noble women,‘ who are graduating us trained nurses and are going forth in their striped uniforms, like valiant sol-« idiers, to contend with fell disease. I want to present to you my con-v ception of what such it woman‘ should be, whether she stands by‘ the operating table or bends overl the invalid's bed or walks through‘ the wards of a hospital for con-1 tagious diseases or sterilizes; the! surgeon's knives just before the; limb is to be amputated. Ltnke‘ this opportunity to address not oi Ising‘le graduating: class of trained! nurses, but to speak to all the dii-g lferent training schools for nurses; With which my pulpit comes intol contact. I The scope of my theme can bestl be realized if the. henrer is led intol the humble home. of the most beâ€"J loyed and internationally honoredi of all women living at the present Itime. “ho is she '? I. will answvrl that question by relating an inci-‘ dent Which happened about. the year 1858. Lord Stratiord Was enter- taining at a. London banquet. many of the prominent military officers of the British army, who had led to victory the queen's soldiers in the Crimean conflict. As a matter of curiosity, the noble lord asked them, one and all, this question. "Who do you think, of all the par- _llticipnnts oi the late war. will he the most honored and revered by ,ithe coming generations ‘3” He asked ‘Ihis guests to write the names of ‘ their choice upon slips of paper and he would read the some and an- nounce the result of the ballot. ; When the slips were collected. the .vote was unanimous. Wonderful to state, the name which Lord Strat- ford annoilm‘ed Was not that of a igenernl. it belonged to an untitled ['womun. Her name was Florence .lNightincale. i TIIE IDEAL NURSE. Who Was Florence Nightingale ? I will tell you. She Was the heroic nurse who did not Want the British people to roar for her a. monument of cold nmrblc, but instead she took the $250,000, which was a free will otl‘ering givun by her countrymen, and with it, built and endowed. only 11. short distance from \‘x’cstnlitlstcr abbey, the famous training: School for nurses which now boars her name. This school. established in 1860. is the foster mother of all the name. This school. established in 186”. is the foster mother of all the modern training sehmils for nurses. When a. woman so honored by church and state as Florence Nightâ€" ingale thinks the deVelopment m‘ the trained nurse 8. work so important that she devotes to it her fortune and her consecrated energies. “’1“ need nmkc no apology for taking: as. our theme this morning the qualities which are needed in the ideal nurse. The trained nurse, in the, first place. must be intelligent. She is the right arm of the physician. By that We do not mean that the truin~ ed nurse is to he a mere untonmtic machine and that when the physi- cian pulls the String she is to move and when he stops pulling she is to stand still. Oh, no 2 She is to be far JIIOI'C‘. We find that toâ€"day the intelligent. trained nurse is more than the more physical right arm of the physician. She is his eyes. ‘his hands. his constant helper. What ithe intelligent trained nurse is able ito report in reference to the progress 'of the patient to a great extent doâ€" cides the physician’s diagnosis. 110 sees the patient but once in twentyâ€" four hours. while she is by the in- valid’s bed practically all the. time. I vuuu .. .-‘_ r ,, She can record the progress of the! disease by the flight of minutes. He'; can only study it by the. morning; and evening call. The value of thei intelligent nurse. is to he found in? what she. sees. as well as in what} she is willing to do ; her usefulness; is to be enhanced by What she. can} tell. as Well as by her willingness to! obey orders. } A FALL ACY EXPLOllICl ). ‘ “It is high time," Florence Night- ‘ingale once wrote, “that the fallacy [should be. exploded that. every wo- man is able to become 0. competent nurse." It is high time that the standard of our training schools for nurSes should be raised. that un- worthy institutions should bc crush- ed out. and that the question of a. trained nurse’s efficiency should not be decided by her ability to buy a gingham dress and to read a. ther- ,_l,_li.-_‘. “nu-chan- hag mometer. Incompetent nursing has' invoked the loss of many a. life and! caused many an agonizing pain. Some time ago a. dear friend of mine a. brother minister, had his little) five-year-old son nearly burned to( death. The only way to save the‘ child's life was by grafting humani skin upon the little one’s stomachi ‘and chest. The father and the! ‘child's two brothers volunteered to: let the doctor peel the skin from‘ their bodies to save the baby’s life. After one of the brothersâ€"fl; noble lad about ten years of ageâ€"had had the skin cut off his arms and shouldâ€" ers and chest the. surgeon turned to the nurse and said, "Nurse, where did you get; that, knife ?" "Out of the alcohol,” she answored. “Did you then place the blade in sterile Water before you gave it to me ?" "No,” she uns‘wercd ; “I did not know you 'wantcd me to do it." “Then." said the surgeon, "We have cut all the skin oil' from this boy's body for nothing. Your criminal ignorance is to blame for this usc~ loss sulicring'. You should have known enough to place that knife in" sterile Water. You profess; to be a, trained surgical nurse and a. gradu- ate of a. nursvs' college." Thus. you women about to become trained nurses. it is of vital impor- tance that you are intelligent andl‘ ‘oiliciont. ‘lt is of xital importance that you should know the value of lirosh air and of pl'OpOI (liclotics.1t lis of vital inmoztancc tlat you lobey the lqu of cloanlinosss and lnot allow your patient to become linl'octctl. The ignorance of incomâ€" lpctcnt nurses has sent many a ipativnt to the grave. If you volun- tarily enter your noble profession [intellectually unqualified, you are iconimitting a sin against the hu- linun men just as surely as is the .ignorant switchman who throws lopen the “non" snitch and sends the {passenger train crashing into the ifroig‘ht train which has been sideâ€" ”racked. The ideal nurse should be a Chris-i tian woman. During the dark! night, when the black winged death‘ angel is hovering, wing and wing, beside the white winged birth angel, or when in the crisis of pneumonia or typhoid the life seems to he hang-i line; by a slender thread, no intelli-i igent nurse is so competent to bend; [over the bed as the one who be-i , lieves in God and prayer and the one! ’who can ask for the divine blessing} Pwhen she pours out the medicine ori gplaces the ice bag on the fevered :lhrow. A great deal of Florence iNightingale's power over her pa.â€"‘ ftients wus due to the fact that She1 icould tell the physically helpless and }the dying about the Good Physician, iwho was able to cure the sun‘erer's isoul as well as his body. The Criâ€" tinean soldiers had a better chance ii‘or getting well in this world when {Florence Nightingale's mere presence gmade these rough men stop their swearing and influenced many of ithem "to turn their lips toward hea- \en with a beseeehing prayer. We .know that one of the beneficent itesks of a nurse is to inspire pn- itients “ith peaCe of mind and of 1heart. Therefore, is not the ideal .nnrse doubly fitted for her work when she can impart to the :mil'erer's soul a knowledge of the peace that pus-Seth understanding? 'l‘ll[‘1 IDEAL NURSE should be a brave woman. The bat- tleiield, with its storm of shot and shell. shows no greater percentage of loss of life than that found among the trained nurses in our contagious hospitals. The soldier who charges the enemy's breastworlcs is looking death in the face with no brm‘cr eye than the uniformed nurse who times the pulse, of the smallpox patient, or the young girl who on‘ers to go with the physicians into the quarantined City allected with yellow fever. Then there are (he dangers which may af- fect the patients as well as the nurse, which result from delirium. i’l‘he other day I read an account of 0.

Then she ;.n .. .u . calmly turned and threw it out of the open window as she said, "Now go back to bed or I will call for hoip 1n put you there." Ah, that. was bravery! MORAL COURAGF‘. NECESSARY. But there is another way in which the ideal trained nurse must prove her bruuery. That is when she, has the moral courage to refuse .Lo work for an incompetent, physician. Some or answer fully covered the duty ml min: case. if there should come 0.1 Ytimeâ€"and that time will conuhâ€"wheni Eu competent nurse knows that hex"a ’patient is being cared for by an im) Ecmnpet.ent, physician, then that ‘nursc should go to that doctor and tell him plainly What She knoWs and 'then and there refuse to work any! longer under his orders. A trained‘ lnursc has no moral right to Work under an incompetent physician. 12y doing so she becomes a party to his malpractice. She should not disobey his orders. Two wrongs never niake 19. right. She should refuse to work ‘;for him at all. * The ideal nurse should he a happy ilwoman. Happy! Why? Because, 4513 King Solomon wrote. “A merry tiheart doeth good like a medicine." N‘Happy! Why? Because good cheer l is. contagious as well as infectious. . The 'nurse'rs smile in the sickroom IVA u... ....i ,. time ago one Of the tiuining schools 101‘ muses gave this qucrliun in an exmnination paper: "Supposing \nu positixelv knew that, if you obeyed the tinct'bor ‘ order. to give to your patient a. ceituin medicine that act would ki‘l the patient “Quid you give it?" Most of the students anâ€" swered “N0." Some answu‘cd "Yes." I myself believe that neithv CURE SOI'L AND BODY has the same curative qualities as the sun bath or an alcoholic rub. And yet there are some nurses who go about their tasks with the sourâ€" ed visage of an undertaker's assistâ€" ant rather than with the radiant face of one who is trying to cheer up those who are pain racked and depressed. They never seem to re- alize that. a true nurse's facial exâ€" pression should be full of sunshine as well as her fingers” touch gentle and true. But, outside of her duty toward the patient, there is another reason why the ideal nurse should be happy. Her life is one of self sacrifice. It; is a. life which has in it a, sweet con- sciousness that she is trying to help her fellow men. It is not a life of mere money making, as many sup- pose. After the trained nurse has 1taken out her legitimate expenses ‘she has little money to save. It is a life of sweet and noble self sacrifice. Oh. the transcendent joy of the Christian nurse's sacrifice for oth- ers! Young women who are about to enter the nurse’s profession, if you are to become ideal nurses, this is to be your joy. You will be hap- py because you will know that your sacrifice and devotion and faithful- ness will save other lives. You will have the sweet consciousness that you have been able to lead a suf- ferer back from the dark valley of the shadow of death, or, if you have to close the eyelids of the dead, you will know that you have been able to place their hands in the sawing hand of Jesus. Christian women about to enter the noble profession of trained nurses, I congratulate ‘you. I give to you a gospel salutaâ€" ition. I wish you godspeod. THE JOY OF SELF SACRIFICE.

Con- sequently sales in this line of live stock were not at all brisk, a good many buyers holding off, and refusâ€" ing to pay the prices demanded by the sellers. The quality of the arâ€" rivals continued excellent. lyuu-hors' descriptions, hoxvever, continued as active as they were before, them not, being enough brought forward to supply the demand. The quamy of ‘these Was also fme. there being few ‘inforior stock on the market. Sheep iand lambs were steady and unchang- ted. but calves were weak. and prices 'had a downward tendency. Milch ‘cows were steady, and in good de- mand. There was a large run of hogs, and prices were. Weak, with- out quotable decline. A a m..- The following is tations: Exporters’ cataco- Choico ......
