Springel, Carl‘s father, to keep gunrd at this bridge on stormy nights, and warn the oncoming trains of any lurking danger that might exist. When within a hundred yards of the bridge an awful crash sounded out upon the nightair, loud above the din of the storm, and a shudder of horror ran throngh his brave youn@ soul. Beneath the bridge a mourtain , stream boiled and bubbled in ordinary times: on that night the heavy rains had swolien it to a furious torrent. Carl Springel hobbled aloug upon his erutches through the almost Egyptian darkness of the night, half blinded by the rain, but buoyed up by the thought that he was bringing cheer and comfort to his be loved father. It was the bridgeâ€"the bridge which bad been deemed impregnable. The bridye The Devil‘s Gulch is a fanciful name given to an immense cleft in the rocks, two hundred feet wide and a hundred and fifty feet deep, which had been spanned by a strong bridge of wood and iron, believed by the engineers who constructed it to be eapable of withstanding all possible assaults of wind and water. On the 19th of November, 1867, a terriâ€" ble rain storm swept over southern (Germâ€" any. For twenty hours the rain poured down in such torrents as had never before been known in that region ; and it seemed as if the day were to be the beginning of ‘a second deluge. â€" Rivers overflow their banas and petty streams were swollen into riv ers. At nine o‘clok at night the storm raged on with unabated violence, when Carl Springel set out on his erutches from the hut in which he lived alone, to carry an evening repast to his parent, who was on watch duty at the bridge over the "Devil‘s Gulch," on the Great Southern Gerrimn Railway. Carl Springel, a poor, lame German boy to save many human beings from an awful death, wulked straight into the face of certain death himself, and met it like a hero. Itis not so very hard for the soldier to face bullets and cannon balls on the battleâ€" field, for he knows that while there are many chances of death, there are still some chances of life. Cart Sertnozt is the name of of boy who is held in remembrance over half of Germâ€" any, for a deed of selfâ€"sacrificing hercism which is unparaileled in the legends of (Grecece or Rome, or the annals of more modern chivalry. And quickly to the lighted hall Hor lifeless form he bore. Young Charlotte was a lifeless corpso And spoke to him no more. He knolt dowr by his truo love‘s side, While bitter tears did flow ; He said my young and blooming bride I never more shall know. He asked her once, he asked her twice, But yet she never stirred. He nsked hor for hor hand again, But she uttered not a word. He took her by the handâ€"O dear ! T‘was as cold as ice or stono; He drew the bonnet off hor head While the bright stars o‘er her shene. They rode along through the fleeting winds And through the cold sturlight, Until they heard the village bell, The Ball room was in sight. They drove to the door, then he jumped out, Aud asked her for her hund > Why sit you there like a monument, That hath no power to stand. For don‘t you see this silken cloak And it is lined throughow, And don‘t you sce my victorine To wrap my neck about. Her bonnet and her gloves being on, She jumped into the sloigh, And away they rode o‘er the mountain side And o‘er the hill and away, There‘s music in the sound of bells While o‘cr the hills they go, What a screeching noise the runners mauke As they loave the frozon snow. Buch a night as this I never did see The reins I searce ear. hold, Young Charlotte replied in a feeble voice I am exceeding cold. He grasped his whip And he urged his team much faster than beâ€" fore, Till five more of those wearied miles In silence they passed o‘vr Bo fust says Charlie the foe and snow Is guthering o‘er my brow. Young Charlotte replied in a feeble voice I‘m growing warmer now. And to the frozen window‘s went y To see the sleighs pass by. In a village fifteen miles from here & There‘s n merry ball toâ€"night, And though the nir was piercing cold, Hor heart was warm and bright. Merry became her restloss eyo When a well known voice she caught, A sleigh drove up to the cottage door Young Charlic he jumped out. Oh! daughter, dear, her mother said, This blanket round you fold, It is a fearful night abroad, You‘ll catch your deuth of cold. For me, for me, young Charlotte andd, As looked like a gipsy Queen, To ride in is blanket muffled up, I never shall be seen. She was his only child you know, And he loved his daughter well He loved to see his daughtor dross In the pride of Atadel. T‘was New Year‘s ove when the sun was down, She looksd with a restless eye, Young Charlotte lived on the mountain side, In a wild and lonely spot, Not another dwelling for miles around, Except hor father‘s cot, Ar.d many‘s the cold and stormy night Young friends would gathor thore, Mer futher kept n socia) house, Yeung Charlotte she was there.

POETRY A Sap Stoxt.â€"For the last day or two a pitiable object, whom drink has made alâ€" most helpless and reduced to destitution has haunted the hotels and business places of the city. 1e entered the office of the Chairman of the Relief Committee toâ€"day and bagzed a pass to Lon lon.

I A hero and martyr he was indeed, and some time yet, bards and poets will sing the story of this brave young persant boy of Germany. "CARL SPRINGEL, AGED 14. HE DIED THE DEATH OF A HERO AND MARâ€" TYR, AND SAVED TWO HUNDRED LryEs." Two years ago,in a quiet village cemetery, in the south of Germany, I saw the grave in which be sleeps. Upon a modest tembâ€" stone at his head, erected by the gratitude of those whose lives he had. preserved, is this inscription : A The handâ€"car and boy are hburled fifty feet through the air, and wher the boy is found his body is erushed and liteless. But the train is saved. Trembling gasping, the engine haltsâ€"halts not a dozen yards from the mouth of the chasmâ€"and all on board are saved. Saved by the unparallelâ€" ed heroism of the cripled boy, who had given up his life that they might live. The engineer has seen him but cannot save him. With a dull thud the engine clears the obstrnetion from the track, and dashes along â€"but slower and slower now. "The bridge is down ! The bridge is down ! he cries, with all his power. "The bridge is down ! _ The bridge is doâ€"" Ceasing frru his labor, Carl Springel braces bimself with one hand, and graspâ€" ing the red lantern in the other, swinging it wildly above his head. On thunders the engine, and the track trembles beneath the heavy burden. Sudâ€" denly, around a sharp bend, a hundred feet away, full on his sight, bursts the blazing head of the engine. Around the mountuin side, on the curyâ€" ing track, the train speeds along. The gleam of the light is now shed upon the valley, and the boy knows that the supreme moment is at hand. On, on, dashes the mighty horse ; nearâ€" er and nearer it comes. Oh if he could only warn them while there is yet time to stop the truin. If he can get far enough off to save the train from rushing headlong into that horrible grave. As though his own life were at stake, he begins to turn. Slowly at first then faster and faster, he drives the car in the dirocâ€" tion of the approaching train. He eannot run with his poor crippled legs, so he throws himself open the handâ€" car, and nerves himself for a mighty effort. The tempest increased in fury, and the rain poured down as though it would never ' stop. â€" Murk, the train is coming ! Already | be hears it rumbling on towards destrue } tion, and it must be near or he could notl' hear it above the storm. | What was to be done 2 Forgetting for the instant the great woe that had befallen him, Carl decided at once that it was his duty to supply his father‘s place, and warn the train of its peril in time to save it, if possible. _ But what could he do ? No dangerâ€"signal gleamed from the watechâ€"tower upon the bridge, and on they would come, unsuspicious of their peril until it was too late, and tkey would be dashed in amoment into the seathing ftood, more than a hundred feet below. For a moment his mind was filled with unutterable anguish. _ But it was only for a moment. Quick as thought it flashed upon his mind that it was almost time for the last night train from the city above to come rushing along with its living freight. But no answering voice responded, and their rushed upon his brain the terrible cortainty that his fiather had gone down with the bridge. "Father, father;" cried Carl1a his loudâ€" est tone. "Futher, father," he called again, "where are you ?" ’ Hurrying on as fust as he could Carl renched the railroad track, and his worst fears were realized. Upon the track, some ten feet away from the entrance to the bridge had been was his father‘s handâ€"car, with his red lantern burning dimly in it ; and by the lantern‘s light Carl could see the full extent of the ci«aster. Every seeâ€" tion, every timber of the bridge had Lbeen swept away, and the yawning gulf and roaring flood were all that were left. had succumbed to the fury of the water which rushed down upon its foundations in irrestible torrents from the mountain side. But the lino was perpetuated through Gladstons of Arthurshiel, a younger son of Gladstcne of that Ilk, who remained in Lanarkshire after the elder branch settled on the Borders. WILLIAM EWART GLADSTONE‘s DESCEXNT. "William, the first Gladstone of Arthurâ€" shiel of whom we have any record died about 1565. His son, grandson, and great i grandson, held the property in succession ‘ down to the year 1670, when it was sold to‘ James Brown of Edmiston. The son of the last laird of Arthurshiel removed to Biggar, and commenced business as a maltâ€" man. A very large trade in malting was carried on in Biggar at that time ; the popâ€" ulation numbered only about eleven or twelve hnndered, yet there were no fowerl than fourteen malting establishmects in active operation. â€"This William Gladstone, the first of the family we hear of in trade, died about the year 1728, and was interred in the old family baryingâ€"place in Liber: | ton Cburchyard. His son John succeeded | "Upon this twentye eight day of februâ€" farie 1718, James Haswell [pensioner]. In Crailing. Informsme . . , . . he was ane ‘ tyme att Barbadoes, and yt my sone, Wilâ€" {lham Gladstanes, about tenne yeares sen !dyed." ‘‘The last anthentic notice we have of Gledstones of that IIk is in 1707, when he obtained leave from the Bailies of *Hawick to cart divots off the common. There is also a tradition that he was involved in the Rebellion of 1745, and that his name was erased from those to be tried for treason through the interest of Mr. Douglas of Caâ€" vers. *‘The annals of Hawick contain frequent ’ mention of different members of the family of Gladstones. In 1694 Francis Gledstones of Whytlaw gave £20 worth of timber for | building the Tolbooth and mounting the ’steeple where the bell hangs; and Walter Gledstones, townâ€"clerk, gave £4 in money for the same purpose. â€" This townâ€"clerk was Gledstones of Hillisland, the son of the ‘ lieutenant who fell at Auldearn, and the owner of the Bible, most of the entries are ! in his handwriting. He was made town clerk in 1678, an office which he held till : his death in 1718; he was succeeded by his son and grandson, and except for a short interval these three Gledstones were townâ€"clerks of Hawick for a period of 110 years. â€" Mr. Jolhn Gledstones, the last of the three, kept a public house, where the civic business of the Town was conducted. He left two daughters, but no son. About this time, viz., the beginning of the eigh “ teenth century, the Gledstones gaadually disappear from the reighborhood. Not one of the various properties owned by the different branches of the family belong to one of the old name. The Duke of Bueâ€" eleuch purchased Whytlaw and Hill island ; Flex became the property of a‘ banker in Hawick; and we have every reason to beâ€" lieve that these branches of the family beâ€" came extinet." THE GLADSTONE BIBLE. "It was Gledstone of Hillisland to whom the Bible in our museum belonged. Tius book lad fallen into the hands of one Cathâ€" erine Cheyne, long a domestic servant in the family. At her death it became the property of her nephew, a cutler in Haâ€" ' wick, who gave it to Mr. Irvine, and it was : by him presented to the burgh. There is ‘ one extract from the manuscript entries in the Bible given in Wilson‘s Memories of ’ Hawick, but there are many other entries which had never been read ; and in Januâ€" ary last I requested Dr. Murray, of London, who heppened to be on a visit to Hawick, to examine the Bible, and see if hoâ€"could make out anything further. As editor of the Emily English Text Bociety, he has grent experience in deciphering old manuâ€" scripts, and at some personal inconveniâ€" ence he very kindly furnished me with the following copies of entries, He says, ‘I spent two awfully cold hours over the Gladâ€"| stone Bible in the museum on S:zturdny,j and now send the result. As far as time, light, and temperature allowed. I haye copied out the entries, some of which are quite illegible; all ought to be read while they may, they seem to be fast fading.‘ This line of historicat thought is traced link by link in an unbroken connection down to the present day by a distinguished writer of the fair sex in a wellâ€"written monâ€" ograph on the subject for the Hawick Archâ€" weological Society, apropos to the existence of a Gledstane‘s Family Bible in the Haâ€" wick Museum. â€" She traces the main branch of the house from the son of the Knight of Gledstaines, in 1865, down through cousinship to the Scotts of Buccleuch, and banishment to Barbadoes for fidelity to the ‘ Covenant of Auldearn, to comparative povâ€" erty and extinction. ‘ ' Coklaw or Cocklaws was a "peel," tower, 'in all pul or castle near Hawick, of which in 1403 !Pmdenegj f the proprietor was one of the Gledstones to 'the farm c | whom Robert 111. and David 11. before him !“;n,a in had granted certain estates on the Border. 2 1756, leay The name, meaning the rocks ofthe gled or | daughters hawk, is taken from a place in the Liberâ€" ! Biggar an ton parish of Lanarkshire. _ In 1408 the Leith. H Percys, with a large force, beseiged Coklaw, the mob it and Governor Albany came to its resene was succe with a similarly large arimy, both intend« good deal ing, it is believed, to unite against King | to Liverp Henry of England, and making Coklaw &D | West Indi excuse. ‘The old tower, long since gone, prosperous though its foundations and vaults are beâ€" fortune, p lieved to remain, is of interest, because it & WA crea was in some sense an ancestral seat of the i ing the Gl: head of all British Liberals and good men | among the in these days. l it |stammealfans Descent of the Gladstones. and then procured a w , arriving agfeâ€" ly at their home in St. Einnnt; but they are not likely soon to forgetthe experience of their trip across Owen Sound Ky and losingtheir way in the vitter cold of last Saturday night.â€"O. 5. Times, Apvzexturovs Trir.â€"On Saturday las} week a resident near Wiarton named Watchorn started to move to St. Vincent, aud while the father of the family came around by Owen Sound with a load by waggon, the mother with six little children started on the ice by sleigh coasting down Colpoy‘s Bayzand up to Presque Isle,where they nrrived near dark. Unable to find shelter for the night, they attempted to eross the bay to Leith, but missed their way in the dark, and struck the shore beâ€" low Leith, with no house in sight. Here the oldest boy left his mother with the rest of the children on the shore in the bitter eold, while he went in search of a house. He soon found one, but was informed that they had no room for them, and was dirceâ€" ted to Leithâ€"so the halfâ€"frozen party had to go on in search of the village. Here they found there was no public house, and were directed to keep on to Aunan, which they reachued at I!l'ldniflht, and were admitâ€" ted after rousing Mr. Chas. Lemon, 1 the proprietor of the hotel there. When they got in to this hospitable shelter they | were nsarly frozen, and could not have held out to go much hrgbuâ€"dqmouggr, carrying a baby only six months old, while the rest of the children were quite 8. As a great orator.â€"He is facile prinâ€" ceps among the speakers of the House of Commons, _ His oratory is not mere fluenâ€" cy in the enunciation of pretty little nothâ€" ings or the harmonious jingle of words, but the clear statement of facts, the distinet lines of thought and the cogency of reasonâ€" ing. He makes everything he touches, glow with the intense ardour of his own soul, heunce crowned heads, princes, the diplomatic corps and the aristocracy have all flocked to the House to be spellâ€"bound by his fascinations, even when he was to speak on such a dry subject as the Budget. 2. Asa great writer.â€"As a ripe scholar and a man of rare gifts, he has in himself all the prerequisites of a great writer, and he is so in the highest and best sense of the term.. HMe writes with simplicity, preâ€" eision and force. Fertile in resources, he is rich in materials, illustrations and arguâ€" ments. Polished by the processes of disâ€" cipline, he clothes his thoughts with the elegancies of expression, sets them off with the draperies of fancy and flavors them with the spices ot Attic salt. Trained to think and reason, he abounds in the subâ€" tleties of thought, in the niceties of disâ€" tinction and in the ingenuities of invenâ€" tion,. All this appears with clearness in his numerous articles written for different periodicals on the current topics of the day, in his treatise on various subjects in his work on the Homeric age and Grecianliterâ€" ature. In whatever he writes, there is great erudition, massive thought and the aroma of genius. | This great statesman stands out conspicâ€" vuous as a central figire on the arona of public life or a masterspirit in the discusâ€" sion of putlic aff@irs, and as a man of genâ€" ins distinguished for high endowments rarely to be found among men as to numâ€" ber, quality and harmony. He is a rich : subject for an elaborate sketch, and we may mecorlingly draw attention to him j capalle of rising by his own native genius to an equal preeminence in theology, philâ€" osophy, science and art; but we prefer at present simply to view him for a few moâ€" ments under the three aspects â€"As a great scholar, writer and orator,. 1. As a great scholar.â€"He studied in the University of Oxford and became famous for his scholarship in the various Halls of that great seat of learning. He distinâ€" ; guished himself by his great attainments in all the academic studies and by his rich‘ stores of general knowledge, but still more by his many sided culture.

A large proportion of the inâ€" organi¢ matter (ash) in bran is camposed of the various phosphates, just what mos old soils need, those salts having been carriâ€" ed off in the milk and sold. We have seen wonderful changes produced on old farms by liberally feeding cows with wheat bran. The pastures in a few years have renewed their age. Ryeâ€"bram is not quitesorich in ash as wheat, but it makes an excellen food for producing milk. as it contains over 12 per cent, of proten compounds, just the thing for cheeseâ€"making, and over 2 per cent. of fats. Indecd, dairy farmers genâ€" erally give the preference to rye bran, and one reason is that it is finer and does not induce such a laxative condition. The conclusion is irresistible that bran has not been â€" sufficiently appreciated . as food for stock in past times, and that Dr Graham was right when he recommended unboltedgflour as the best for breadâ€"making Graham flour is especially adapted for children, as it furnishes the material for making bones and developing teeth, Some objection is made to the use of bran by farmers, as it has alaxativetendoncy. This is due to the mechanical, not chemical, inâ€" fluences, the conrse particles, when fedalone often irritating the intestines espocially at the first feedings, if given in a large quantity. This may be obviated by feeding bran gradually at first, and in connection with hay. _A slightly laxative condition of the bowel!s is far healthier than constipation ; and if children are troubled with the latter Graham bread is just what they need. The late Alexander Hyde, a well known agricultural writer, had a opinion of the feeding quality of bran. _ Experience of stockâ€"feeders has confirmed the opinion long held by men of science that in some essential elements of food it is much richer even than the pure kernel that it mcloses.
