It had progoked me intensely. So I [hml to follow l:im to bed in solemn silence, aud awoke :one the better pleased after 'm) sleep, on the morning just alluded to. To make the matter worse, just as heapoke l’ta me about the button, the knife with | which I was cutting the bread for his lunch }fih;q-ed, inflicling a deep gash in my hand, and the baby awoke and set up her sharp Elime ery from the eradia, al}l in one and the same moment. 1 ‘Don‘t Luey me,‘ I retorted, throwing down the bread and catching up the baby, while the blood streamed from my band all over her white gown. ‘I wish 1 had never seen youâ€"I wish I was back again with my father and mother.‘ 1 broke down with a burst of ltysterical tears, and séging the blood on iny hand, Tom came over and knels down beside me He held out his hands for the baby, but I snatched her away, and went on sobâ€" bing, ‘Don‘t ery, Lacy,‘ he continued, stroking the hair back from my foreheadâ€"‘please don‘t. Iknow I have dong Wrong, dear, but I didn‘t mean to. T fell in with some of the old boys, and they persurded me against my will. But it‘s the last time, Lucy, it‘s the iast time.‘ Why didn‘t I torn to him then and belp and encoufage him? Because my mean, tyrannons temper got the botter of my woman‘s heart. ‘OL, yes,‘ ‘I said, sneoriugly ; ‘itf is casy enough to niake fine promtisesâ€"you told me the same thing betore. How can you expect me to trust you now ?‘ Tom dropped his button, and tarned toâ€" ward me with a startled, exclammation of ‘Why Lucy. & ‘Why, Lucy,‘ he said, his voiee and eyes full of tenderness, ‘you‘ve cut your hand. Why didn‘t you say so 2 _ Here, give me child while you bind it upâ€"see how it bleeds.‘ *You caw‘t wait as long as I did last night I reekon,‘ I replied sharply, really angry at last. ‘Don‘t hurry immeâ€"I do &1 I can, and more than I am able to do with one Tom was spirited and quickâ€"tomped. Gréat lovingâ€"hearted men always are. He aprang to his feet like a flash, and before I bad time to sperk, he had left the house I tossed the child into the eradle, and ran to the door; but it was too late, He had gone. I just caught n glimpse of him turn« ing the corner. I went back to the little breakfastâ€"room ; how blank and dreary it looked, and what a sharp, stinging thorn there was in the very core of my heart! Iloved Tom and he loved me. We had been married only eighteen months, and this was our first quarrel. I sat down with the baby in my arms, heedless of my morning work and fell to thinking. All the old happy days came back, and one in particular, when we sat in Dumberry wood. _ It was in the auâ€" tummn, and all the world seemed in a place of gold, as the sun slid down, and the squirrels chatted overhead, droppingaripe nut now and then into my lap as I sat there with the last rose of suramer, knitting a purse for Tom. ‘Lucy‘ he snid, as I wove in the last goldâ€" en stitches ‘you‘ve knit my love;â€"my very lifeâ€"up in that purse, Tell me, now, beâ€" fore you finish it, how is it to be? Am I to have you, and â€"oh! I wont think of it, even ; Luey, it would be too dreadful.‘ ‘Poor Tom, he cried then just like a childâ€"he, the bravest man in the whole village. +No, Tom, I answered, ‘you are to have the purse, and the hand that knit it, too" *No fault in him, only a little too wild, too fond of gay company ; bat you must tame him, Lucy, as your mother did ‘Lmucy, if you mean to sew on this batâ€" ton I do wish you‘d do it. I can‘t wait all day. That was my old father‘s advice on our wedding day.

No ane was‘to see my husband until after the trigl. _ Anothor day crept by, a night, and when morning eame I went down to the door and opened it, with a vague tecling of expectation which always acéompanies severe afflictions, and looked out. The sun was rising grandly and brightly over the black stone gaol, The frost hung thick and sparkling over everthing, even the serap of folded paper that lay at my feet. Toms I stooped and picked it up idly, as weo catch at a straw or twig sometimes, withâ€" out any power or motive of volition. ‘Tne superscription caught my eye, it was my life, it was my ow n name, and Tom‘s hand« Deak Ltcv: I have broken out of gaol, and am goingâ€"well, no matter where. 1 did‘nt strike Hastings with an intention to kill him,.

Forâ€" give and forget me, Lucy. God bless you â€"you and the baby. _ Tow. All the rest is blank. When I cante to myselt again, I was in my room, and kind, compassionate faces were around me. I asked for Tom. He was in prison awatâ€" ing his trial, There had been a quarrel at the tavern, and Tom had struck his anâ€" trgonist. ‘The man wasn‘t dead, thef thought at first he wasâ€"but he was badly huit about the head. .But it he recovered This was the end ! This Wwas the reward that my efoss words had purchased for me! Truly,truly,; the wages of sin ate death. We shall not need one pang of corporal punâ€" ment, one spark of real fire to perfect out torment if we are lost. Conscience is all suficientâ€"remorse, that wornt that never dies. 1t is not for me to tallk about what I suffered in the days that followed that morning ! _ Words could not express it, ex« cept to one who had passed the same farnâ€" ace of affiction, But I lived, for sorrow aud death rarely walk in each other‘s steps and nursed my baby, and did the wmémy hands had to do, I did not go back to my father‘s, Iremained at Tom‘s home, and kept his things all about me, even his cap hanging on the wall. Forget him ? Does love ever forget? _ _ writing. read : The winter passed away, with long, long nights of bitter remorse, and tender recolâ€" lections of the dear busband whose strong arms had once been my stay and support ; the spring cameâ€"the summerâ€"another winter ; three years wontâ€"crept by. My shild, Tom‘s little baby, grow to be a fairy little thing, with blue eyes and goldâ€" en hair, and a tongue that never wearied of its childish prattling. All day long she sat on the doorstep, where the svening sunâ€" beams slanted in, lisping to her doll, and listening while I told her of the father who would come back to us some day. For surely he would come. Most surely God‘s mercy would vouchsafe some compensation â€"some pardon for such repentance as my soul had poured forth. The third spring was peculiar, somehow the farâ€"off sky seemed to droop down in clearer, bluer folds ; the sun wore a softer My heart sank. The police after him! I ran down swiftly to unlock the door. But as I did so, qwo men, wearing official badges, stepped upon the porch, and one of them laid his hand upon Tom‘s shoulder and said : ‘I arrest you, sir.‘ ‘For what ?" I cried, ‘For murder.‘ The floor seemed elHtding froift beneath my feet, but I eaught at th# door to steady myself, and looked at Tom. At that instart the officer uncovered his lantern, and, oh God! there was blood on my husband‘s hands. Hastings did not die. He recovered and made a public stateraent. _ He was more in fault than Tom was. Then he put a noâ€" tice in all the papers telling Tom to come back ; but he didn‘t come. ‘Yes ; open the door,; Larey ; police are after me.‘ dim light, The plumâ€"pudding was done to perfecâ€" tion, the baby in a clean slip, and myself all smiles to receive him when the clock struck one.

Eight, nine, ten o‘elock, and I put up the untasted supâ€" yor and baby, and I went up to the nursâ€" ery to wait and watch. _ How the little thorn in my bosom pierced and ramkled. Tom had broken bis prowise; asd my unâ€" kinduess was the Cattse, Nothing else rang in my ears throngh the long hou#s. ‘Tom, is that you? I asked ting out myfhead.

An East India paper says: "One thousâ€" and two hundred and sixty four persons wets killed by wild animais and 9,515 by suakes in the Presidency of Bengal last year, In the same period the nunsber of cattle destroyed was upward of 12,000. This, says a Bombay paper, is & Considerâ€" able bill ef mortality for onePresidency,but we suppose in this; as in all other matters, as is so often asserted; the "minor Presiâ€" dencies‘ must admit the superiority of Benâ€" gal Conmpared with tlie roturns of 1878, the figures quoted from an interesting statemout just issued by Mr. Counsell, the acting Registrar, show a considerable inâ€" crease,. In one respect, however, there was a falling off, viz., in the aumber of perâ€" sons killed by wolvesâ€"83, against 152 in 1878. Probably wolves are less voracious in Bongalthan they used to be, but the shikars, amateur and professional have not shown more consideration for them than formerly. Indeed, the sportsmen have met with greater success than ever, for nearly 500 more were killed than in the previous 12 months. . Altogether 5,543 wild animals were destroyed dufing the past year. From the statistics sent in to Govâ€" ernment it appears that 21,102 snakes were killed, against 15,276 in 1878, but the actual number was probabiy very much larger. The returns relate only to the snakes for thb destruction of which reward were paid. These rewards are only given for corbras, daboras, and keraits destroyod within the limits of towns, municipalities and villages in which the Village Chowkidâ€" arce act as in force, and it seeims that many persons who destroy venomous snakes, even within the limits for which rewards are given,never ask for the money to which they are entitled. The total amount paid in rewards last year was 28,370.14 ruâ€" Yes, thank God, he has cotme back, poor tattered and hungryâ€"like the prodigalâ€" but my Tom, my husband, neterthéless, I would never speak cross to him any Thord: Boys living on the banks of the Trent, in the county of Northumberland, make from 20c to 50c per day capturing frogs.

My heart throbbed and my knegs {retmâ€" bled. Little Effie ran on, holding out botk dimpled hands, her golden cutls blown all ; about her rosy face. ‘*Howâ€"doâ€"do, Pappy 9 I‘se your Effic,‘ she lisped, as she renched' the man‘s feet. i The words stirred my heart to its utmost dopths; and dropping my work I followed her out of the door.

A May sky, soft and blus, hung over a green, blosâ€" soming earth ; the turtle doves cooed in the distant woods, and the robin twittred to her young brood annd the milky bloom of the orchard. God‘s love shone in the goldâ€" en brightness of the westwardâ€"going sun. My child, little Efits, sat on the doorstep, talking to her doll, and watching the birds. All at onts she clapped her dimpled hands and bounded to her feet; radiance ; the trees, the grase, the flowers a diviner, a tenderer beauty, I rose every morning and looked out of my liftle winâ€" dow at the kindling beauti¢s of the morn, with a feeling of strange, tremulous" etâ€" pectation. I seemed to feel the shadow of some great event, that winged as light above meâ€"one prayer of my heart seemed about to be answoared. East Indian Snakes and Wolves. @ ++ it you? _ Speak, | Heéesays: "I sincerely regret thatColonel Gerdonh has goné from the tcrntry where he was Wworking so much good. The slave trade is juss as brisk as ever it was, and I | am convin¢ed that expeditions have already istarted slave raiding, The slave trade is being earried on in the most open way,and every stecamer that leaves Souakim has slaves on board. In the steamer "Yembo" jin which I crossed the sea, there were ! nineteen slaves, eighteen of whom, how ; ever. had liberation papers. A man from i Mecca, whom 1 know #ell by sight, had : five with him, who were supposed to be his domestic slaves,but to my certain knowâ€" I ledge this man goes backward and forward #very month Catrying on his trade with I impunity, and he is only one of many who do the same. 1e goes to the Governor or ‘ official in charge and says,"I have so many slaves that I bought, and I want them libâ€" i erated;" Papers are made out for him, | and he leaves for Jeddah,; passes the slaves «at the qugrinatine,walks them into the town‘ | destroys the papers of liberation taken out at Soukim, sells the slaves, and returns by fiext sttamer to Sonakim to buy more. There is uo l@w to toucl bhim, no treaty with England whereby he does an illegal act, and he can suap his fingers in the faees of the officers of our cruisers. This | is the ensiest way and is done weekly, not , only to Jeddah but to Suez fromt Soukim, i and from Massowah to Hadeidah, and | from Hadeidah to Jeddah. Still the maâ€" ! jority of Slates are carried by buglas, by which means 800 slaves were "run" from Bheik Burghut, just north of Souakim to Jeddah, about tem diys ago. The African slave trade, especially the Soudan traffic,is a disgrace to the civilized world in general, yet the very rulers and officials of Turkey and Egypt that conduct the affairs of state with foreign powers have all of them slaves and eunuchs in their houses; and nre more"to blame than the slave deaiers themselves, who only pander to the lust of those who buy what the slavedealers have etolen. T dislike the sight of a well fed and sicek pasha, and I think every English man otight to hate him, not for their disâ€" hovesty and corruption, alone,but for ow nâ€" ing servants and small boys that are unâ€" sexed, and therefore buing accessory to the crimes of murder, mutilation, and every crime that a strong race can use agninst a werker one. I do not believe it is known in England that hnundreds of boys ttat are taken in slave raids every year, sre subâ€" jected to the barbarity that is inflicted on them. The operation is performed n« skilfully, and the poor children are buried in the sand to prevent extencive Lbiceding.
