"Fire! fire! fire!" Aye, there was no mistake about it, nor false alarm. No one could tell how it had commenced; but there it was, creeping along the roof of the upper eabin, with the dendly flames greedily lapping up every serap of awning and eurtain they eould find upon their way, ever and anon darting long tongues of flame down to the floor to clesp the chairs and tables and sciteecs in their ‘Fire! fire! fire!"

A messenger whoin I recognized as belongâ€" ing to our steamboat company hailed me. purse So, early one bright morning, having obâ€" tained a day‘s leave of absence, Molley and I were married, and stepping into a carâ€" riage I lindt engaged for the occasion, we sturtec off, having decided on a day‘s ex carsion to a celebrated cave near by, this being all the wedding trip we could allow ourselves. â€" Not that we cared in the least, however; we were too happy to be in the lea«t disturled by auy shortcomings of _ It was not ruuch of a position, to be sure, nor was there ruch of a salary attached to it; but, small as it was, Mollie and I decidâ€" ed that we could make it answer for two people, neither of them extravagant or unâ€" reasonable: besides which 1 hoped of better times to come, as I lisd received word of commendation from my employers, aud promise of speedy promotion. From the earliest days of my boyhood I had a fondness for the water, haunting the palatial steamboats that floated on the great Mississippi river, on whoss baaks nestled the city in which we dwelt; and at the peâ€" riod to which I am about to refer I had just secured a position as a pilot on a small freight steamer. l We had grown up together, as it were, | Mollie and I, our parents being near neighâ€" | bors, andâ€"which does not always followâ€" | firm friends as well. They were poor ; and | their friendship, for opportunities were alâ€" | ways turning up for helping one another; ’und I have often noticed that when near neighbors are well off and haye no need for ‘ mutual help there is very seldom any friendâ€" ; ship between themâ€"there is more apt to be jexlousy and competition. Our pareuts being such good friends, it vaturally resulted that Moliie and I folâ€" lowed their example. We went to school together, read together, played together; and somehow, when Molley was eighteen and I was twenty we agreed to live together all cur lives ; and were very happy in that arrangement; in fact, no other would have seemed right or natural, either to us or our parents. The Pilot‘s Story. DURHAM, Co. Grey, MARCH 24, 1881 Leaping down on the deck, we sped hand in hand to the paddleâ€"box. I dashed open the little door, and pusl.ing Mollie, insids, "Take my band, Mollie," I said "and run with me. We shall be saved after all. Wrap your shawl across your month. Now, nowâ€"run |" B ® All at once my eyes rested on the paddleâ€" box. â€"It had not taken fire yetâ€"the flying spray had saved it. 1 had only to dash across the flameâ€"swept deck and fling open alittle door, in its side, which afforded ready access to the wheel, to lower my precious charge to the water beneath in safety. No sooner thought of than done. My @rius, released from there guardâ€" innship over the wheel, clasped Mollie close to my heart ; but my ¢yes and brain were busy secking for some mode of escape from death that scemed each instant more cerâ€" tain. But alas for my devoted Mollie! alas for me! No# the pilotâ€"house only, but the enâ€" tire deck around it was now surrounded by flames. It was too late for us to lower onrseives to the deck below. ‘The railing was all ablaze. "My brave lobâ€"my noble Rob!" murâ€" mured Mollic. "*No, sir!" I shouted back. â€" "I shall stiek to my post; I shall stay here till I ran her clear on the shore, or die first," It was an awfal temptation. I knew that, did I follow the captian‘s advice, both Molâ€" lie and I would be safe, for I was a good swiminer, and should the boat not reach the «hore, I could save her and myself ; but if I did this, wonld I not deliberately expose every one of these three hundred souls on board to destruction?

Suddenly there was a murmur among the people Lelow, and the next instant a light form flew up the ladder leading to the little deck by the pilotâ€"house, and before I could say a word my precious Mollie had thrown open the door, aad closing it again, stood at my side. ‘ * Mollie, Mollie!" I cried. â€" "ForLeaven‘s Each pussing mement the flamos crept on and on, never pausing in their terrible mareh. â€" Fortunately they leaped upward rather than downward, so that there was as yetlittle danger to the panicâ€"stricken crowd on the lower deck. There was an instant‘s pause, and then, with a groan and a surge, with the timbers cro«king and strain img, the windows ratâ€" tling, as though in mortal terror, the Moâ€" bilia guthered herself up to run her last race.

Wihen I was able to report for duty agnin, two weeks later, I learned that a noble gift from the MoSilia‘s grateful passengersâ€"no less a sum than $2000â€"lay in the bank awaiting my order. Not only this, but the stearuboat company had voted me a gold medal and the appointment of pilot of the finest steamer on the line. I There was £o room in our hearts for any (feeling but that of thankfulness for our ’preacr\'atiuu from a fearfual death, and afâ€" ter the peril of the last hour or two it seemâ€" ’cdn small matter to wait patiently for the 'cmuiug of the reliet bouts that we knew were sure to mrive before many hours went past. Though some miles from any large city, we knew that the burning steamer must have been seen from the farm houses scatâ€" tered sparsely along the river bank, and that from these notices of the disaster would be sent to the nearest town. Andso :it was. â€" Before nightfall several small steamboats had arrived, and after that but a few hours elapsed before we found ourâ€" selves safely at homne, and our adventarous wedding trip at an end. But the results were not ended by any means. The terri ble nervous strain I had exdured, combinâ€" ed with severe burns on iny face and hands, throw me prostrate on a bed of sickness. The Island upon which the Mobilia Lad been beached was low, sandy and uninhabâ€" itedâ€"altogether not an inviting place for three hundred people without a particle of sheiter to pass half a day upon. Yet even in this plight there were few grumblers in our midst. Now that the danger was over, poor little Mollie fainted, and no wonder. But she soon came out all right; and as the people began to find out that the "brave little girl," as they called ‘her, was really a bride of only a few hours, and chat we were on our wedding trip, there was a regular ovaâ€" tion, followed by nine deafening clceers.

The great progress and clear insight | of science into the nature of thinys are the | outcome of long practice in the work of | science. The perfect accuracy with which | scientists are enabled to deduce the most minute particulars in their several depart | ments, appears most miraculous if we view it in the light of the early age. Take for example the elostroâ€"magnetic telegraph â€"the greatest invention of the age. Is it not a marvellous degree of accuracy which enables an operator to exactly locate a fracture in the submerine cable thn‘e‘ thousand miles long? _ Our venerable "clerk of the wenther" has Lecome so! thoroughly fanuliar with those most wayâ€"| ward elements of nature that he can aceurâ€"| ately predict their movemenis. He cnnI ait at Washington and foretell what the weather will be toâ€"morrow in Florida or New York, as well as if several hundred miles did not interyene between him and the places named. And so in all depart ments of modern science, what is required is the knowledge of certain signs. From these the scientists deduce accurate conâ€" elusions regardiess of distance.

Not f long since it would have been impossible to n | have given to this question a saticfactory n | answer. True,there were plenty of reasons cited, but they were for the most part y |merely bypothetical. Some said that as r | the leaves were gorged with sap their funcâ€" . | tions became in consequence impeded, and â€" | at last the leaves died and were pushed off e | from the tree by the current of the sap. v | Others said it was the bud that nestled in 5lthe axil of the leaf as itself increased in ' bulkâ€"a strange theory when it is considerâ€" , | ed how many more leaves there are than t!budsl A third notion was that as the â€" | leaves died mortification ensued, a line of 1| demareation was formed, and the dead porâ€" r | tions becazze separated from the livingâ€"a ) | notion evidently derived from the experience | | of the surgeon rather than form that of the | vegetable anatomist. _ Another of these | guesses, and one which apparently finds | much favor with compilers of "popuâ€" | lar" books, attributes the fall of the leaf to an incrustation or deposit of earthy | matter in the cells of the leaf in autumn. | This goes on, according to our theorists, to such an extent that the cells become blockâ€" |ed up, lose their powers, hence dry up, shrivel, and fall to the groundâ€"true enough, but not sufficient to recount for all the phenomena. _ On turning from these rpecâ€" ulative explunations to others offered in more recent times by scientific observers as the result of personal observation, we find so great a conformity of statements in all more important particulars that it can hardly be doubted that we can now, at least in n general way,answer the questions as to why the leaves fall. Beveral inleâ€"| pendent observers, among whom Dr. Inâ€" . man, of Liverpool, is one, have arrived at|| the conclusion that the fail of the leaf is due to the formation of a layer of cells, arâ€" ranged in a plane different from that of the rost of the tissues, thns gradully severing | the leaf from its support, much as a knife ' f blade would do, and moreover serving as a | thin skin to protect the surfrce of wlmtls otherwise would be an open wound. The | I cells of this dividing layer, as shown by | 1 Inman, and coufirmed by Mohl, contain a | ¢ quantity of stareh, a substance not found | t in the adjacent cells. This dividing layer ) , seems first to have been clearly observed | t by Link ; Inman, Schacht, and Mettenius |1 confirmed its existence, and Mohl has add» | c ed largely to our knowledge of it. We I have as yet to learn why this peculiar layâ€" | , er is formed. As to the period of its first apperrance, that is known to précede the fall of the leaf by but a short interval, though indications of its future formation | exist from a very early period. The first|® stage of the development of the leaf, as|F shown by Eichler, and recently confirmed | * by Dr. W. R. M‘Nab, is constituted by the | 8 appearance on the stem of a minute proâ€"| * cess called the "hypophyll," from which,|® and not directly from the stem itself, the | © leaf originates. Whether when the leai} * falls, the separation takes placs immediateâ€" | ° ly from the stem,or between this hypophyll | " and the leaf it supports, is not a matter of | © practical importance, and does not effect | the explanation above given as to the cause | 8 of the defoliation. w 1.

A Horrin» Scexs.â€"The funreal of a vieâ€" tim of sinallâ€"pox took place in Chicago on the 8th inst. At the gate of the cemetery only three pallâ€"bearers carried the coffin. They requested a fourth to assist, but he refused. The corpse was thrown into the centre of a rubbish pile and the pallâ€"bearers commenced a fight, which was finally parâ€" ticipated in by all present. Picks and shovels were used, and anumber of mournâ€" ers were badly injured. Meanwhile the coftin was lying face downward. Some female relatives endeavoured to turn it, and pullâ€" «d off the lid. ‘The corpse rolled down the incline toward the rond, the women shriekâ€" ing and the men yelling. ‘The crowd,fearâ€" ing the loathesome discase, commenced a stampede.
