The fall had not harmâ€" ed her, yet she was still in great ‘danger. Any attempt to move from her position would give .the relentless wheel another chanee. As he passed the doorway he was just in time to see the child toddle forward and fall into the pit! . With an awfal shadder he waited to see the monster wheel spuru the babyâ€"girl from its curved sides; but no such sight came. The engineer was nownhere in sight, and little May, his only child!. Tom‘s heart gave a great leap. â€"In aninstant he scramâ€" bled down from his perch and was in the engineâ€"room. Suddcnly, glancing down, he saw a little child standing beneath the guard, close to the great flyâ€"wheel. The boy‘s eyes next wandered from the object of his thoughts and rested on the buight brass domes of the foreeâ€"pumps that crossed and reâ€"crossed obove the toiling machinery. blew buck his Lair, while he looked down into the pit with wonder and dread.

As Tom wetched the whirling spokes, seemed as if the n.ass of iron stood still, ag swilt was its motion. He remembered | that once the engineer, seeing his interest in the machinery, had stood leaning over the frail wooden guard, his face so close to the flyâ€"wheel that the wind from its surface Tom worked by the door, near the enâ€" 1 gineâ€"room. â€" He could, therefore, easily see | the engine and all its surroundings. â€" The | interest of its rapid, ceaseless motion partly | reconciled him to the fuct that, while most boys of thirteen were enjoying their liberty outside, be was shut up within doors. This morning, more than usually, he had been watching the forbidden spleudors of the engineâ€"room, for the engineer allowed no one in his sanctum. ‘The great machâ€" ine fascinated Tom with its ensy grace of movement. His eyes dwelt long on the neat tinish of the hexagonal boitâ€"heads that gleamed about the cylinder. He tried ' It was ten o‘clock in the morning.

The wholeâ€"matter of the land swindles and forgeries had already been reâ€" ceiviug the attention of the Attorneyâ€"Genâ€" erai‘s department.â€"AMercury, When the superintendant heard of it, he sent for a hack and had Tom taken home in style, with a comfortable little present in his pocket, and the permission to be out until he should feel all right again. It took about a week toâ€"clear the dizzy feeling away, and at the end of that time he was working at his maching just as if he had never been under a flyâ€"wheel. Muny were the words of praise from the sturdy workmen that crowded in from the *‘steel works" to see wliy the engine had stopped. Tom was the hero of the day, Without another word the strong man lifted birm up from the rocky floor and the foul air, and, climbing again by the spokes of the flyâ€"wheel, bure the bey out of his dungeon,. The air from the open window soon cleared the "sleepiness" away, and he was able to tell the whole story. ‘The enâ€" yineer grasped his hand, but he could not speak, and there were tears in his eyes. The engineer was by him a moment later asking if he was burt. "No. sir. I think notâ€"onlv m HHl "‘No, sir, I think notâ€"only a little tired," said Tom, and slowly and wenrily his eyes closed. Tom lay still. He did not seem to care since the little one was safe and the flyâ€" wheel had stopped. â€" Heé felt a fearful weariâ€" ness stealing over him. He would like to sleep a year. The engineer refched down and lifted his darling up from the dust, and holding her fast in one arm, climbed out. "It is stopped, my laiâ€"it‘s your dizzy head that deceives you. Let mme take my little May," | Less swiftly, and at last slowly and more slowly, whirled Tom‘s massive jailer; fainâ€" ter and fuinter came the clatter of the pisâ€" ton, until both ceased, and the engineer, with great beads of perspiration on his forchead, swung himselt between the harmâ€" less spokes of the flyâ€"wheel and got down close to the two prisoners. "I@ she hurt, Tom ?" he gasped. "*No, sir," said Tom, faintly. "If you‘d only stop the flyâ€"wheel I‘d lift her out." , Instantly a dozen mocking voices from | the sides of the pit flang back the éry into | his very ears. But the wheel canglit the | ery and whirled it away, np into the enâ€" | gimeâ€"room, in distorted echoes. He called | again and the:souuil seemed â€" less terrible.

On arriving at Swansea, the men determined to proceed to South Shields, in search for a returning vessel. * They accordingly, for the first time in their lives, got into a railway train, one of them, a man named Grilse, taking both the tickets. At Crewe they were reâ€" quired to change trains, and here, boiug! unaequainted with the manners and cus-{ toms of tha people, they missed each other. After the train had gone, Grilse‘s companâ€" ‘ ion, a man named Dauffy, was found in the | refreshmentâ€"room, and, being unable to j produce his ticket or give any explanation | that was: considered satisfactory, he was | taken into custody. At the time he np-|' peared to be rather the worse for drink.| The following day he was taken before the ! magistrates, and in default of paying a fine | was sent to gaol for fourteen days‘ hlrd’ labor for travelling without a ticket. It] transpires that Grilse proceeded to t}outhl Shields, and, unable to find his companâ€" , 10n, and not knowing what became of him, | he gave up both the tickets, taking the preâ€" ? caution, however, to mark Dauffy‘s name| on the back of his. â€" He afterward got back | to Newfoundland, and hearing of his comâ€" ‘ panion‘s misfortunes he made an affiduvit explaining the cires mstances, which on enâ€" , quiry have been found substantially correct. | On the matter being represented to the i London and Northâ€"Western Railway Comâ€" 4 pany they very generously paid the expenâ€" | | ses of the inquiry, and awarded the man a ( substantial sum as compeusation. The 3 presiding magistrate on the occasion of 1 the trial has also supplemented this by a|, donation. . [ [ _T& 6: Defore he: had "time to reply the scoundrels ripped off his clothing, inâ€" cluding his shirt, but failed to find any plunder worth taking. One of the merciâ€" less ruffins then fired at Macdonald while he: lay on the ground, the bullet striking / him on the knee, and burying itself in the fleshy part of the thigh. ‘The pockets of his pants were ransacked, and $14, all he had, taken therefrom. Then, bruised and wounded, the poor man was left half naked on the snow to die. His cries atâ€" tracted the attention of Harry Bradley and Andrew Auderson, two employees of the C. P. R., who earried the wounded man to one of the C. P. R. shops, where he was taken care of as well as possible till morn ing.. Word was rent to the police station about nine o‘clock, and Sergeant McGowan went.up to investigate the matter. .Macâ€" l donald, however, coulid give no clne as to | the personality of the assailants and it was | : therefore impossible to trace them. The |: wounded man was removed to the hospital | t during the morning, and is doing as wclll as can be expected. § The Winnipeg Free Press of the 15th bhas the following:â€"An old man named Neil Mucdonald, from the county of Bruce, j arrived in the city on the Monday night‘s !tuin, and went to the Grand Union for j lodgings. â€" The hostelry, however was fall } to overflowing, and Mucdonald was unable { to procure quarters there. â€" He then steerâ€" ed for the Mansion House, and on the way was met by three men of whom he enguirâ€" | ed the way. They said they were going themselves, and offered to conduct him thither, but instead of doing so, led him out of the way to Fonsesa street, and preâ€" sently knocked him down and demanded ‘hia money, Before he had time to reply yaried excellency of character; or when reâ€" warded complementary the one to the othâ€" er by the matural processes of educaton, said qualities stand out in the life of child. ren a thing of beauty,â€" Thou seemest like a flower, Bo pure, and fair, and bright ; A meluncholy yearning Steals o‘cr me at thy sight, I fain would lay in blessing ‘ My hand upon thy hair, !

At the spring of the year shantymen reésort to the villuge, and rows of more or less violence are of freâ€" quent occurrence. This time, it appears, MceMullen got into a fight, but the trouble was quieted for the time being. Babmeâ€" quently he was followed by several wen, who beat hi so severely that he died from ‘|_ Imrpowraxce or Eresn Aim.â€"A New 'l York merchant noticed, in the progress of f | years, that every bookâ€"keeper gradually | lost his health, and finally died of conâ€" | sumption, however robust and vigorous he | might be when he eutered into service. At 1 ’ length it occurred to him that the little I rear room where the books were kept,openâ€" | ed in a back yard, so surrounded by high | walls that no sunrshine came into it ; from one years end to another, ~An upper room well lighted was immediately prepar« ed, and his elerks had uniform good healtli ever after. A familiar ase to general readers is derived from medical works, where an entire English family became ill, and all remedies seemed to fail of their us« ual results, when «accidentally a window glass of the family room was broken in cold weather. â€" Tt was not repaired, and. forth» with there was a marked improvement in the health of the inmates. The physician at once traced the connection; discontinued his medicines, and ordered that the wine dow pane should not be replaced. A French lady became ill, emivent pbysicians were called in, but fuiled to restore her. At length Dupeytern, the Napoleon of physic, was consulted. He noticed that she lived in a dim room, into which the sun mever shone; the house tbeing situnted in one of the narrow strects, or rather lanes of Paris, He at once ordered more airy and cheertul apartments, and all her complaints vanishâ€" ed."â€"Dr. Hall. y cominittee to finally audit the port. â€"Carried, The Council then ad journed.
