Above the fair girl, who looked out of & small dormitory window, shone countless stars ; she might have seen Bootes and Orion had she looked up, but that night the worlds of heaven had no attraction for hor. She was listsning to a strange sound borne from the weet by the nocturnal breeze that chilled her check. I might have said, with propriety, a succession of sounds, for it seemed that some persons wers cording wood or moving heavy timâ€" bers not far away. Save this noise, the night was quiet, and she heard without inâ€" terruption from the window of her bouâ€" (l\til’, : "I believe it is in Gwynue‘s Cut," she said, at last, to herself, "Perhaps some villain is obstructing the track for devilish purposes. | The Red Bird will soon be (ue, and this is Ed‘s trip down," Hor face greyw a trifle paler as she spoke, and a moment later she stood botore the ancient wall sweeper in one of the lower rooms. The moonbeaims stealing in at the winâ€" dow, fell upon the face of the dial, and told to Vicla that it was twelve o‘clock. "Twelve}" she murmured. twelve o‘clock, and he whistles halfâ€"past! My heavens! what is obstructed in the eut !" At the gate she paused a moment and listened. The sounds were still to be heard, and she believed that they emanatâ€" e1 from a spot in the cut near the cattleâ€" guard. Then she started forward again, and erossed the meadow that lay between her home and her destination. The stars looked down vpon a little obâ€" ject that glittered like silver in Viola‘s hand. â€"It was a revolver, and her fingers beld is firmly. â€" Onee or twice she glanced at it as if to satisfy herself that it was there. Then she looked up agrin with an air of determination. With the last word turned and left‘the house She was the belle of the country she inâ€" habited. Her father was dead, and with her widowed mother and a little brother of twelve, she dwelt in the humble house won by the sweat of that father‘s brow. A railway station called Beaumont, was the only settlement near, and it was six miles from her home. She seldom went thither, for there was no sogicty thore, and she gould enjoy herself better at home. The track of iyon was the making of Beaumont, for the road was new, and towns were springing up all along the line. Viola could see the cars from her window, and often had she sat there until the flaming headâ€"light of the midnight express had appeared and disappeared. An opening in the woods enabled her to see the light for a moment, and then the lighted windows of the cars. Did the engineer know that she was watchingâ€"that his engine gave two shrill whistles as it reached the openingâ€"two shrieks that seemed to say,*Viola ! Viela !" She always smiled when she heard the sounds, and with the smiles lingering on her face, or a blush, she would listen to the rumbling of the train as it died away beyond the cramped boundaries of uncomâ€" mercial Beaumont, The Obstructed Track. This life is not all sunshine, Nor is it yet all showers, But storms and calms alternate, As thorns among the flowors. And while we soek the roses, The thormns full oft‘ e scan, Still let us hough they wound us, Be happy as wo can. This life has hoauvy crosses As well as joys to share, And griefs and aisappointments Which you and I must bear, Yet, if misfortunc‘s lave Entombs hope‘s dearést plan Let us, with what is left us, Be happy as we can. The sum of our enjoyment Is made of little things, And oft‘ the broadest rivers Are formed from smalicst springs. By treasuring up small waters, The rivers reach their span; So we incronse our pleasures, Enjoying what we can, There may be burning deserts Through which our feet must go, But there are groen onses, Where pleasant paiin trees grow, And if we may not follow The paths our hearts would plan Lot us mike all wround us As happy as we can. Porhaps wo may not climb with Ambition to its goal. Still, let us answer, "Prosent," When duty calls the roll ! And whate‘er our appointment, Be nothing less than man, And ehcorful in submission, Be happy as wo can. BE HAPPY AS YOU CAN, DURHAM, Co. Grey, APRIL 18, 1878. POETRY. SONNET. Fifeshire Journal mured. _ ‘"What! histles to me at ! what if the track on her lips she Overcoming her timidity, he helped her into his cosy apartment on the engine, and explained to her the wondrous mechanism of the beautiful monster. Then he said goodâ€"by, and she @aw the train move off, »»" hiis hat waving from the engine was the last thing sho saw as it darted around the curve. That brace of shrieks, loud and shÂ¥ill, told her who drove that engine toward the great city on the Mississippi‘s banks. They recalled the day, en« year since, when the first engine she had ever seen stopped at Beaumont, scarcely a station then. The engineer was young and handsome, and when he saw her examining the great driving*wheels, and looking with wonderâ€" ment upon the mighty beauties of his iron pet, he leaped to the ground. "A pretty picce of machinery," he said to her, "and she goes like a bird." She blushed when she caught his eye, and the sound of his voice thrilled her. A week later she found herself{ at the station talking to him again. Their meetâ€" ing seemed purely gccidental, and: no doubt it was such ; but I am sure the meetâ€" ings that followed it were not. She felt that obstructions were being placed upon the track in the dismal place. Of late the company had incurred the hatâ€" red of certain persons residing in the viâ€" tinity of the station, and once or twice the track had been tampered with, but forâ€" tunately to no serious extent. By and by Ed Gordon, the engincer, carried a picture over his heart, and on Viola‘s bureau lay the photographer‘s semâ€" blance of his face. She sat at hor window oftimes with the lamp on the sill, and often fancied that she could see him leaning from his engine with his eyes fixed to catch a glimpse of her before the train would be swallowod up by the woods again. This lifo was excitement and joy to Viâ€" ola ; but it was passing awaz. The time was coming when Ed Gordon would leave the road and accept the superintendency of the company‘s car shops in a flourishing city. But let me return to the October night when Viola left her home to investigate the sounds that seemed to come from Gwynne‘s Cut. The â€"night express gencrally went through the eut with undiminished speed, tor no obstructions had been encountered there, though the cattleâ€"guard in the cenâ€" tre would assist the evilly disposed. Thus the acquaintance at the station, during the Red Bird‘s trial trip over the new road, had ripened into love, and the two midnight shrieks told her he was safe and driving the engine toward the river metropolis. Viola at last reached the cut into which the mellow moonbeams fell, and paused. Something high and dark obstructed the track before her, at the very spot where the cattleâ€"gnard seemed to be, and she held her breath. It was twelve o‘clock when she left the house, and her walk had completed a number of precious minutes. The shricks of the Red Bird would soon be heard, and a moment thercafterits head light would flash into the eut or gorge. Sho saw more than a pile of strong ties, on the track. _ Sho saw the dark figure of a man moving about the pyramids, as if contemplating his night‘s work and speeuâ€" lating upon the death and ruin it wou‘d cause. She watched until she belioved that one man had accomplished the di@â€" bolical deed,then she crept forward through the shadow of the bushes that lined the sides of the eut, uutil she stood within ten feet of him, "I‘ll go back to the station now," she heard him say to himself, "I can get there before the accident, ang when it ocâ€" curs, why I can run up there and see him under the ruins of his engine, so erushed that that dollâ€"faced girl of his will not recâ€" ognize him." A eruel laugh rippled over his lips as he stepped from the pile of ties, several of which he had forced into the guard, where they were wedged like posts of fron. He enjoyed his own words, and viewed the work of his mad hands. "It‘ll erush the Red Bird," he said,turnâ€" ing away, "and put him out of my path forever !" The last words, full of a devil‘s triumph, still quivered on his lips, when Viols stepâ€" ped from the shadows and thryust the muzâ€" zle of her revolver into his face. He started back with a ery of horror and muttered her name. "This is your revenge, Morgan Duke," she said, looking sternly into his eyes. "Now, obey my commands, or there will be a lifeless body on this track, to be mingâ€" led among the ruins of the night express. To work at once! Off with your coat, and remove every obstruction your wicked hands have placed there !" "The train can‘t be saved now," ho said, and there was joy in his tones. "It took me one long hour to obstruct the guard. In twenty minutes, or less perhaps, you‘ll see the Red Bird‘s Lhead light up the out clear when I see her heaa light, I‘ll drive a bullet through your brain! You know what to do. _ I will talk no longer." Covered by her revolver as he was, Morâ€" gan Duke, the stationâ€"master, doffed his eâ€"at and went to work. He looked at her, and a curse fell from his lips. "Villain ! Viola never took her eyes from him, she cried, "if this track is not ONTARIO "I never thought this of you, Morgan Duke. When I rejected you I thought you would bear it like a man." He replied not, but glanced at his watch. "Half past twelve !" he said. To work!" was the stern command, and Viola stepped forward and brought the rovolver nearer his hoad. _ The familiar shrieks eleft the cool Octoâ€" ber air, but they brought not joy to her heart. She was not at the old window beside the light he loved to hail from his engine. Perhaps she would be the first to kiss his cold brow beneath the stars in Gwynne‘s Cut,. She almost shouted for joy when she saw the first tie drawn from the guard by the desperate man. and the silvery moon that rested over the cut showed his every movement. He was on the pile of ties, hurling them, one by one with the strength of a modern Samson upon the not overâ€"wide grade. He workâ€" ed tor life, for he knew when the thunderâ€" ing train was due, and a glance at the girl on the track told him that she would sureâ€" ly kill him if he did not do her bidding. Once she said to him, as he pausod for breath before attacking the ties which he had driven into the cattleâ€"guard : He tugged at the ties with great strength, and large drops of perspiration stood out on his forehead. "I ean‘t move them," he said, at last, turning upon Viola. «"You must!" was the reply. "I drove them in with the sledge." "I did not hear the sound." "It was deadened with my coat." The girl‘s face grew paler than ever, and she glaneed fearfully up the ent. "Take them out!" she said, suddenly; the train is coming! I hear it !" The villainous stationâ€"master heard the rumbling, and again turned to the ties. "You have your choicel" Viola said to him. "A bullet or an unobstructed track." She watched him as woman never watched man before. She knew that he was doing all that could be done to undo his wicked work, and while she watched, hor heart grew still beneath the rumble of the express. "Ie‘ll soon call me," she said to herself. "There! there!" "Quick ! the sledge ! break the guard!" she cried. "Gods!I never thought of that!" he said, and the next moment he was shatâ€" tering the long guard with the heavy <ledge. At last the picce was broken, and he thrust the other tics down into the long opening he had made. At that moment the trair, rounding the eurve, dashed into the eut, and the flashâ€" ing head light, not twenty feet away, alâ€" most blinded the eyes of the twain. Morgan Duke stepped from the track and threw himself upon the heap of disâ€" ordcred ties, utterly exhausted. He saw triumph in the girl‘s eyes, and watched her as the train came on. O for strength to hurl her upon the track and beneath the wheels of the thunâ€" dering train! Her revolver had coased to cover him, but he could not have lifted even a child. The train dashed by! Viola saw her lover‘s face for a moment, and an exclaâ€" mation of thankfulness welled from her heartâ€" He was safe, and the precious lives that he carried westward had escapâ€" ed Morgan Duke‘s machinations. "You‘re a worker, Morgan Duke," she said to him, smiling. ‘"Wo will separate here." He looked at her a moment in silence. "Are you going to tell ?" he asked. "Such men as you are dangereus," she replied. "Then you are going to expose me?" He did not reply. They parted forever there. _ Morgan Duke was never caught by the officers of the law ; but justice afterward overtook him. ‘The iron wheels of a railway train erushed him on the track. The company presented Viola with a beautiful house when her husband took charge of the car shops. I know she will never forget her night in Gwynue‘s Cut with her rejected Jover, Caxaptax Cartes is Brrrarm.â€"Several: Canadian witnesses were examined on Satâ€" urday betore the Lords Select Committee on the Duke of Richmond‘s Cattle Disease Bill. SirJohn Rose occupied one hour and q quarter in placing before the Comâ€" mittee the Canadian claum for the admisâ€" sion of live cattle to the inland markets. Sir John also answered several questions. In the absence of the Marquis of Ripon, Earl Spencer supported the elaims of Canâ€" ada, OQther witnessos examined were, Mr. John Dyke, Dominion Agent in Liverpool, and Mr. Williamson, cattle dealer, Brampâ€" ton, Ont. The further hearing was .d-{ journed until Tuesday. It is now probable the Government will accede to the deâ€" mands of the opponents of the measure, and grant the unrestricted admission of Canadian cattle until such occasion arises as proves a disease existing among them, when they will be placed under restricâ€" tions equivalent to those enforced as to cattle arriving from continental ports.

(London Correspondence N. Y. Times.) The squall which caught this illâ€"fated vessel off the Isle of Wight, and in a few minutes consigned some 300 men and boys of the British Navy to an untimely end, has done considerable damage to shipâ€" ping. At the same moment that it struck the trainingâ€"ship it caught a yacht in the Thames, near Erith, and nothing has since been seen of vessel or crew, except a few remmants of the yacht‘s furniture. I was in the Zoological Gardens when this squall passed over London. Suddenly it became dark, a gust of wind swept through the gardens, whirling the dust of the paths into the air. ‘Then, just as suddenly,there came on a blinding snowâ€"storm, tallying exactly with the description given of the storm in which the illâ€"fated Eurydice went down. The evidence at the inquest of the two survivors (out of more than 300 souls lost within half an hour of their expected anchorage) and the verdiet of the jury exâ€" onerates every person from blame, and atâ€" tributes the loss to the common danger of the sea, â€" It is not for me to cast reflections upon the gallantâ€"dead, but many ships have beon lost at the end of a successful voyage by a too hasty desire to get into port, and it is not, I think, an unfair critiâ€" cism to suggest that the Eurydice was possibly lost through the overâ€"confidence that is too often felt by a captain who has under his command a fine ship and a capâ€" able crew. The Eurydice had encounterâ€" ed a stiff gale going out, and the ship had behaved splendidly. Yachtsmen who know the Highlandâ€"lakes, lochs, and seas, know the gulches in the mountains down which the winds blow fierce and strong on the calmest days, and when they pass these points every hand is ready, even in sunshiny weather, to mect the sudden gust. It was in a similar situation that the Furyâ€" dice was caught off the Isle of Wight. She had been under the shelter ef the hills; the sun was shining ; the ship was specdâ€" ing on in full sail; the squall came down the ravine as she was passing it, and literâ€" ally capsized her before anything could be done ; while a sudder ssowâ€"storm hid the awful picture in a eold, white cloud. Presâ€" ently, when all was over, the sun came out again, and of that good ship there reâ€" mained on the waters only a few floating spars and two or three struggling men. The calamity is a terrible blow to the naâ€" val service. The young sailors on board are what they call "able boys," who are next to "able seamen." They would all within theffew weeks following their arrivâ€" al at Spithead have been drafted into the service, being distributed among the variâ€" ous ironâ€"clads in the Channel or other squadrons. The vesselhad made a voyâ€" age for the purpose of completing their training in the management of sails and the discipline of a manâ€"ofâ€"war at sea. Some day I presume sailing ships will be regarded as entirely out of date. If the Eurydice had been a steamer there can be little doubt that she and her people would hbave gone straight and safe into port. There hbas been a great and influential meeting at Portsmouth Dockâ€"Yard to inâ€" augurate a subscription for the families of those who went down, and a large sum will be the result, more especially when the object is set forth in terms that appeal to patriotism and benevolence alike. ‘The resolution carried by the meeting is as folâ€" lows :â€" That the appalling accident to Her Majâ€" esty‘s ship Eurydice, whereby numerous families are rendered comparatively destiâ€" tute through the loss of the breadâ€"winner, calls for the sympathy of all who hold that England should ever maintain her supremâ€" acy on the ocean, and this meeting pledges itself to use every endenvour to alleviate, as far as possitle, the grievous loss susâ€" tained by the widows, orphans, and relaâ€" tives of those who, in sight of their homes, perished in the execution of their duty to their country. Loxpox axp BULGARIAâ€"A native Pro testant Bulgarian minister, recently speakâ€" ing in London, drew an instructive contrast between England and his own country : "It is very sad to me," he said, "to see in this your country your wine shops open ; for over yonder they are closed......I have been thinking much since I came to your counâ€" try about the difference between English Christians and.

Fora second or two the flesh of the victim quivered, and hbe writhed from head to foot. ‘Then he turned to the operator and said, "For God‘s sake flog me fair, and don‘t strike me on the ribs."

Away went the tails, hissing through the air again, and every knot struck like a redâ€"hot claw into the shoulâ€" ders of the victim. As the cat was drawn home with wonderful dexterity and foree again the flesh quivered, and as the prisâ€" oner writhed he turned a blanched face to the operator ond begged him to "keep one spot." The remaining cighteen lashes were given in the same manner, varied only by an occasional remonstrance from the prisoner, who, though he quivered and writhed under the torture, never complainâ€" ing of its severity, but only criticized the manmner in which it was administered. When the punishment was ended, therudâ€" dy face of the victim was absolutely colorâ€" less and a great ridge of biuish purple as wide as a man‘s hand, and extending from the point of the right shoulder downward and diagonally across the back, as well as the track of the first lash lower down, which was perhaps an inch wide, showed the terrible nature of the punishment he had received, .

On Movday morning an anusual occurâ€" rence took place in the ghol»yard, Lonâ€" don, which attracted a crow@"bf some forty or fiity persons. It was the flogging of the conviet, Baker, sentenced at the last Assizes for a criminal assault on a young girl named Miss Penuy, near the> Lunatic A despatch from London, after entering into details regarding the arrangements made to flog the miscreant, goes on to speak of the flogging itself. The despatch says : As a precaution a cloth was wrapâ€" ped around the neck of the prisoner, to protect it in case any of the tails of the cat should happen to wander in that direction. For a few seconds the "operator," an old soldier, handled the cat nervously, and at lehgth High Constable Groves said "one." Immediately after the whipping had been completed the prisoner was handed over to Dr. Hobbs, the gaol physician, for such treatmont as he amisht deem noees> The wealth of England is enormous, and should she be compelled to take purt in a war her resources would be almost inâ€" eredible. Mr. Griflin, of the Statistican Department of the Board of Trade, takes one fifth of the gross income as the proâ€" geeds of capital, In the year ending March, 1875, the income assessed is reduced by the deduction of Mr. Grifiin, to $378,000,000. Capitalizing this sum on a moderate basis â€"the value of land being taken at thirty year‘s purchase, of houses at fifteen year‘s purchase, of farmers projfits at ien yearsâ€"â€" the result 1s that the capital value of income assessed for income tax after omitting all income not derived from capital, is $6,648,â€" 000,000. There should probably be a conâ€" siderable addition to this on account of inâ€" come not assessed, which Mr. Griflin estiâ€" mates as little less than £6,000,000, After elaborate calculations he concludes that three years ago the total capital of the United Kingdom amounted to £8,500,000,â€" 000â€"a sum cleven times the national debt â€"which divided equally would give each individual in the United Kingdom £250. On the same calculations the capital of the country in 1865 amounted to no more than £4,400,000,000â€"the annual savings during the decade averaging £240,000,000, the new capital laid by in ten years exceeding the est:mated amount of the whole capital of the country at the close of the struggle against Napoleon. The mere savings, says the Review, of these ten years, exceed the aceummniations of all the generations that succeeded one another from the birth of our civilization to 1815. If this be so, nothing need be added to show how inâ€" comparably more powerful we are now than we were sixty years ago.
