My long and extensive practice as Auc- tioneer has enabled me to judge the value of | Farm Stock with an accuracy second to none in the County, and this is of import- ance as if the Auctioneer is not a good judge of the value of Stock he may soon lose far more than his fee in any sale, prompt m The party borrowing money can get it without conmission, at the Lowest rate, and is allowed to fix his own time for payment of interest once a year (not in advance), and he can at any time, just as circumstances rmit repay pact or all of the principal, the Com pany binding themselves inthe mort- gage to accept such sum, whether Jarge or small, and apply it as a direct reduction of principal, immediately cancelling the interest on the sum paid. 0 extra charge is exacted on such repayment. Loans made from 2 to 2) years on farm, or good productive town property. In all cases where the title is perfect, the cost will be very slight to the borrower. AsI am acting both as Agent and Valuator for several Companies there ean possibly be no publicity in the transaction, If the title is perfect the money will be paid here in two weeks after making applica- lon.

Fare $1.00 per Day, A Story of Isandlana. Among those who fell at Isandlana was the Hon, Standish Vereker (son of Vis~ count Gorl,) Lieutenant in the Native Con- tingent. The Attorney-general of Natal wrote to & near relative of Lord Gort the accoutft which he heard from an officer who was paesent. "He saw him a few seconds before the retreat took place. He got him a horse which a native had claimed, and which poor Vereker refused to deprive him of. He thus deprived himself of all chance of escape." To this we may add that Mr. Vercker was a splendid rider, and would bave had a better chance to escape than most men there, had he made use of his opportunity, or of his authority of keep the native trooper's horse. It is an instance of unselfish generosity, worthy to be naméd with Sir Sidney's passing the water to the dying soldier.) Down in the wild south country The English flag lay low, And English troops wero sorely pressod By fierce, exulting foe, Was each mani "for his neighbor ? Or each man for his own ? In bitter stress and struggle A nation's soul is shown, God only knows all secrets, But women's hearts reply, " Living, our men were heroes, And heroes they would die." And there was one among them, A gallant soldier boy, Before whom life lay golden, A very dream of joy. The battle it was over, The struggle had been vain, And life's one chance remaining The river once to gain. His horse had fallen 'neath him, And he the way must tread ; {louErRcIAL HOTEL, The subscriber having succeeded Mr, Dewart in the Commercial Hotel, Williams- burg, Cartwright, intends fitting it up with a view to'the comfort and convenience of guests, The supplies for the table and bar care- fully selected.

He scarce had reached that saddle Before a trooper came, And loud, in piteous accents, Pleaded a prior claim. Cried be, * The horse you've mounted Is mine, this moment lost." Down came the gentle Veroker, And did not count the cost. There was no time for parley, For question or reply, Ie owned the claim undoubting, And stayed bebind to die!

Give me the ev'ning twilight ;}-- 'When the work of day is done, It calms our angry passions, It quiets them one by one: All the feelings of heart ache That weary the soul by day Repose like tired children, Or vanish, like dreams, away. Give me tho ev'ning twilight ;-- When the day is nearly spent, The mind puts oft its burdens, And recalls each past event. It notes each deed of duty, Each deed of folly and strife, Each scene of love and hatred, Markd in the pages of life. \ There came, with ev'ning twilight, 01d friends,--the living, the dead, 'Who recall forgott'n sayings, 'Which seem to have just been said, When ev'ning has departed, And night overcome the day, 'T:.e phantoms born of twilight Are chag'd by darkness away, The lamp buras on the table; The ev'ning lesson is read ; A hymn is sung to the Giv'r Of life and our dally bread; A heartfelt pray'r is offered To the Highest of the high, Then when life's work is over, And its ev"ning draweth nigh. That all its pains and passions, All its contentions and strife May die, and day be ended In the peaceful dusk of life. More Prison Accommodation 'Wanted. A statemont has just been published at St Petersburg showing something of the present overcrowded condition of the Russian gaols. It appears that besides the establishment in connection with the mines in Siberia there aro altogether eleven convict prisons in the empire. That at Irkutsk, which according the regulations should only contain 1,500, is now occupied by 2,000. Two prisons in the Charkoff government constructed, one for 450 and the other 475 prisoners, contain respectively 600 and 500 unfortunate con- 'victs. In spite of this overcrowding it is stated that 500 miserable beings are lying She Couldn't do it: The Cincinnati Commercial pro- 'ends to have the following despatch, from Wilmington; Ohio :-- 'Tho lady mentioned in the do- spatches of last Sunday's Commercial as having entered into an agreoment with ber husband to hold her tonguo ten minutes in each quarter hour for 1,113 consecutive quarter-hours, failed in her task. At three o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, as she was completing her 913th quarter-hour, and her backers wore feeling sure that she would win, a neighbor lady returning from a shopping expedi- tion, passed along the street in front of her window, wearing a new pur- chase, a beautiful shawl, Now, the lady who was holding her tongue should have tightened her grip at this supreme moment, and concen. trated her thoughts on something olse than this new article of dress belonging to her neighbor; but it is said that the ruling passion is strong even in death, and that ingrained habit is unconquerable; and these axioms were proven in this instance for the tongue-holder, unfortunately for herself, leaned over and whisper- ed in the ear of a lady bystander, 'What a horrid shawl?' She fm- mediately saw her mistake, but it was too late. Tho judges at once declared in favor of the husband, the crowd filed slowly out of the building, and the first match on record of tongue-holding against time was over. One lady at least in Wilmington will attend church this summer in last year's bonnet.-- The husband is investing the 810 he saved in strong plug tobacco. He says he never before enjoyed such peace and quictude as during the past nine days, And now the other married men of Wilmington are hoping that the tongue holding fover may become an epidemic, and strike the country with emphasis. A Masterly Seroke of Genius. The other day a muscular young fellow entered a Detroit photo- grapher's establishment and ex- plained that he would like to have about one photograph taken, but on learning the price he concluded to invest in a tin type. After taking his seat in the chair he shut up one eye, drew his mouth around one side stuck up his nose and patiently waited for tho operator, whose astonishment caused him to ex- claim : 'Good gracious! but you don't want to look that way to get a pic- tare. Nobody will know you from Sitting Bull.' 'You go ahead,' was the reply. 'Do you want me to take such phiz as that ?' 'Ido. The artist took it. It beat Sol Smith Russell all to pieces and was highly satisfactory to the sitter,who paid for it and said : 'You see, I had a sort of object in this, Came here from Allegan County six months ago--engaged to a girl out there--found a girl here I like better--got to sever old ties-- see ?' 'But what has that picture got to do with old tics?' asked the artist. 'Lots--heaps! I've writ to her that I was blode up here on a boat and disfigured for life. She's awful proud. When she gets this and secs how that explosion wrecked me, she'll hunt another quicker'n wink --see? How do you like the plot? Just gaze on that picture once and tell me that Mary Ann won't send back my love letters by first train!' He posted the pictare. The letter was brief but explained all. It said: --My Evver Dear Girl--I incloze my picture that you may see how offul bad I was hurt, tho' I know you will luv me just the same.' 'Ever see that game work afore ?' bo asked of the artist as he licked the stamp on the letter. . 'No--never did.' 'Course you nevor did. It's mine. It struck me the other day while I was greasin' a wagon, [and I think it's boss. Blode up--see? Dis- figgered for lifo--see ? Picture right | bere to prove it, and she'll write back that she has at last concluded to yield to ber parents' wishes and marry a young man out thore who owns oleven steers, a hundred sheep in the ordinary town gaols awaiting vacan- cies in the central establishinents, ] Bes. and aa eighty acre lot. How Harty Plootee got the School at Oranberry Gulch. ¢ Mister, no doubt you have all the larnin' that's required in a school teacher, but it wants more than larnin' to make a man able to teach school at Cranberry Gulch, You'll find that out if you try. Wo've had three who tried it on--one lays there in the graveyard, another lost his oye and loft before noon-time for the good of his health. Ifo hasn't been back since. Now you're a slender build, and all your larnin' will only make it worse, for all our young folks are roughsand don't stand no nonsense I' This was what one of the trustees of the district said to my friend Harry Flotce, when he made appli. cation for the vacant position of teacher, > . 'Letme try. I know I am slend er but Iam tough, and I havea will,' said Harry. 'Just as you like. There's the school house, and I'll have notice given if you want it done,' said the trustee. '1 do,' said Harry, 'and I'll open next Monday at 9 a. m.' The notice was given, and there was a good deal of excitement in gulch and slong the Yuba flats.-- More than fifty young people of both sexes mado an excuse to drop into the tavern to got a sight of the fellow who thought he could keep school in that district and many a contemptuous glance fell on the slender form and youthful face of woald-be teacher. Eight o'clock on Monday morning came, and Harry Flotee went down to tho school house with a key in one hand and valise in the other. ' Ready to slope if we're too much for him," said a cross eyed, broad shouldered fellow of eighteen. The school house was unlocked and the new teacher went to the desk. Some of the young folks went to see what he was going to do, though the school was not call~ ed. Harry opened his valise and took out a large belt. Then, after buckl- ing it around his waist, he put three Colt's navy revolvers there, each of six barrels, and a bowio knife oighteen inches in the blade. 'Thunder! He means business,' muttered the cross. eyed chap. The new teacher now took outa squaro card, about four inches each way, walked to the other end of the school house and tacked it up against the wall. Returning to his desk, he drew a revolver from his belt, and quick as thought sent ball after ball into tho card, till there wore six balls in a spot not much larger than a silver dollar. By this time the school house was half full of large boys and girls.-- The little ones were afraid to come. Then the teacher walked balf way down the room with the bowie knife in his band, and threw it with so true a hand that it stuck quivering in the very centre of the card. He left it there and put two more knives of the same kind in his belt and re-loaded his yet smoking pistol. 'Ring the belly Iam about to open this school.' He spoke to the cross-eyed boy, the bully of the crowd, and the boy rang the bell without a word. 'The scholars will take their seats; J open this school with prayer,' he said sternly; five minutes later. The school sat down silent, almost breathless. Atter tho prayer the teacher cocked a revolver and walked down on the floor. ' «We shall arrange tho classes,' he said, all who car read, write and spell will rise. Of them we will form the first class.' Only six got up. He escorted them to the upper seats, and then began to examino tho rest. A whisper was beard behind him. In a second he wheeled around revolver in hand. ¢ No whispering allowed here I bo thundered, and for an instant his revolver lay ofia level with the cross-eyed boy's head: 'I'll not de so any more!" gasped bully. 'See you do not. T never give a second warning,' said the teacher; and the revolver fell. It took two hours to organize ths classes, but when done they were well organized. Then camo recess: The teacher went out, too, for the room was crowded and hot. A hawk was circiling overhead high in tLe air. Tho teacher drew a revolver, and tho next socond the hawk came tumbling down among the wonder- ing scholars. From that day on Harry kept school for two years in Cranberry Gulch, His salary doubled after thd first quarter, and his pupils learned to lovo as well as respect him, and the revolver went out of sight with in one month, They found e mab at last who could keep school. This is & fact, Her Dream, A lady up on Pine street droamed the other night that sho was riding across] the bridge, when the steamer ran against it. The lady was un< t,- and then seemed to recover her senses and find herselt in heaven, and this is the way she tells about it : ¢ Ob, it was a splendid place, with real lace curtains, and so beautiful | for a [ went right to work and took up the carpet, cost four dollars a yard, and I hung it over three or four stars, and set a couple of angels to whipping it, and it was perfectly Then we covered up the harps and music, and had the whole place whitewashed, and picked out some beautiful wall paper, that just matched the furniture, and it all puton the same afternoon, with a green and yellow border, and it was just elegant. Wo got the parlor stove up into the garret, and set the bookcase over where the stove had stood, and washed all the woodwork and took out all the windows and washed them, and [ never supposed lovely. anyone could be so happy. I just pinned a towel around my head, and pinned up my back bair, and left my switch in the bureau drawer, and sung, and sung,, and sung all the time, and I never can tell how tnice it was, and we were just getting straigbtend around when I woke up. It was a beautiful dream and it seemed so real. I shall never feel any dread of death any more." We supposo this was a nice enough dream, as dreams go, but there is one thing about it; some women have got to bo kept out of Heaven. Still They Go. Mr, Prittie is a human exporter on a large scale, he safely landed on Thusday last hi® eighth party of emigrants from this Province to the Great North-West.
