scattered in all directions ; the youngest of

It was a sight to see, away heck in this
wilderness, this group of turbulent young -
eters, so vigorous in limb, so etrong

tha acquaintance proceeded, But aside
frnm them, and of entirely ditrereut mould
sat the eldest born —a. sweet-faced girl oi
mien so gentle, with movements sograceful,
and voice so soft and low,in contrast to the
others, that it was impossible to resist the
conviction that she bad come from heaven,
while the rest were of earth, earthy.
Old Zack Grey, the father, was one of the
rougheat specimens of frontier life, and
looked like a swarthy blectuteer, with his
eircurasei ihed, with surroundings so un. -

She hardly knew the meaning of tha text ;

in her clear visiou, she eew ehe drift of the

wonder now that I did not see in their blue

wear a martyr's crovra, Yea, away oil' in
the woods in this most remote home in the
northern wilderness, was a genuine heroine,
who could make her life sablime.

Unfortunately he himself imbibed far to

wife and children, a flue cleumieg had beef
hewn out of the wilderness., a large num
ber of cattle had been raised, and it needed
only se rnerket for what they could produce
in order that prosperity might dawn. upon
them.
Strange to say, our party of hunters
brought the oews that seemed to make this
prosperity.possible. This news was that, the
timber limits, belonging to the Government,
iu the vicinity, had been sold, and that the
i
great lirIn of S'age (T:. Grant, (the miler
partner of whieh, Henry W. Sege, is the
present beuelactor of Cornell University. at
Ithaca,) weuld soon be spending a darge
amoune of money in that couutry in the
then coming winter. The prospect, there-
fore, was that cboppers, shanty -men, logs
rs anti teameters would pervade the
locality. This, of course, promieed new
lie to the hitherto isolated faanily, and as
the possibilities were described of sale of
produce, and employment for their boys
atul /loran in the winter months, a new
hope seemed to possess thein all.
"Why, Minnie can sell her buttee !" ex-
claimed the mother, and then she proeeed-
ed to tell us that the delicate girl, on whose
lap a lively yonngster climbee, had
moele over half a ton of butter with her
own hionle, ht the season just elosing, and
that the hope of sale or profit had been
poor, bemuse of the remoteness from a
market.
".A. half ton of butter seems an enormous
quantity for a young girl to make," was
rem -irked. by one of our party. Hew o a
earth do you keep at?"
"Come and see," said Minnie audleading
the way, she took us to the milk.house or
cellar near by, and showed us, with woman-
ly pride, the firkins and rolls of butter
which she had worked into aliape, after
weary weeks of churning and milking.
Sure enough by weight inarked here aud

rnented a table. Brave little worker
How proud she was to exhibit the results
of her labor, and you may be sure we were
not etinted in our praises at the efforts- that
in this remote plaoe had anhieved so numb.
The prospect of better times had already
cheered the family group, and as we set at
the table eel' partook of their hoepitelity,
it would seem that eareaely some. of the
amenities of a larger life heel alreadycome,
for Minnie had placed at the plate of each
of the guests ft little bunch of yellow mari-
golds and atmine there was, an addition, it
late wild rose, an especial attention thee. in
a glamee between us was understood and
appreciated.
But the shallows were lengthening, and
we found is necessary to depart,
them we would certainly visit them again
next year. We learned they haa never heard
a sermon, or hardly knew what was meant
by a religious service. We made them prom-
ise that if we °Impel at Ten Mile Creek,
five miles below them, a year hence, and
held. a meetiog on Sunday, they would aIl
come to us. As we left, the mother said :
"Have you any needles or threads you can
spare? We are forty miles, from it store,and
wieh such. a family for wear and tear, it ie
hard to keep the clothes together."
Forty miles from the store,and the mend-
ing for eigbt children ! No wonder needles
and thread were in demand. We gladly
emptied our store of small wares prepared
for our convenierce by our dear ones at
home, anti divided. them with this mother
in need, ana she seemed to regard this sup-
ply as a special gift of Providence in addi-
tion to her alender stock.
The whole family accompanied us to the
shore, where our flotilla of canoes excited
their admiration. As we started, Minnie
lifted a sturdy little boy, who clung to her
skirts, and with an expression of pain occa-
sioned by his weight, put him on her hip.
I saw there was something on her mind, as
she said.:
"I hope you won't think we are beggars,
but have you something that we could read?
Everything in the house has been read again
and again, and if you could spare us some
papers, or a book or two, they could be re-
turned to you when you come next year."
"Where did you learn to read ?" was
asked.
" Oh, mother taught me," was the reply,
"and I have taught the boys. Tread ant to
father, who cannot read, and to the rest of
the family, everything we can get, and it is
a great comfort when we get something
new."
I went to my rubber ' bag, in the canoe,
and by great good fortune, the first wolume
fished out was tacopy of Longfellow's poeme
As it was handed to Minnie, the book open-
ed. at random, and I rea.c1 her these words :
"Lieg of great men all remind us
We cam
n make our livee sublie,
And, departing, leave behind ns
Foot -prints on the sands of time."
" We can. make oer lives sublime !" Lit-
tle did it seem probable that this young
dirl so far away in the wildernesa could
make her life sublime, in. CiZeiteifi tames so
An interval of two years elapsed before
we weet away again to the woods, and
caaneed at the head of Trading Lake. It
was in October, and in auticipation of ves.

for vrhich had gone out in various direetions,

birnself mot assiduously to her. The boys
had grown to he young giants, and the lit-
tle ones hail made a stride femme], But
of all the changes that hal ocaurred, that
in Minnie was the most marked. The
gracefulness of womanhood scented to have
come over her, and her appearance, both in
dress, in manner and in look -c, was extreme-
ly attractive, except that she was extreme.

esi as she wile, she looked even more than
ever mill ke the reet, WO an etherealieed far
away look seemed to pesseee her. As I
relieved her from her harden, in helping
her from the scow, she looked up into my
face and eeld:
"How we have longed for this time .
Two yeers have been so long, we have had

get sante advice when you would come, to ,
help us with your wisdom, and some com-
fort from the religions service you promileil
. But from the little book which you
belt with me, we have "leas -tied to labor and

As she stepped from the boat, the young
fellow from the canes who had accent -
partied thiscow, anti whom she introduced
to us o.s Tont Lyons, took her hand, and in
a familiar way, which seemed to please her,
led her to it seat beside him in the camp.
Here then was a suitor, anti here then an
another explanation of the new look of
womanliness that pervaded her.
Soon other settlers arrived, and the beau-
tiful Church of England service was read.
We found the hymns with which they wore
familiar, such as "Beautiful River," The
Sweet Bye and Bye," and others of kindred
nature, that for years have so charmed and
delighted tbe plain people. We sang
them
with is fervency and pleasure never before
experienced in those woods. Then our com-
panion and guest of the year, Mr. Theodore
Leeds, of New York, read from a volume of
Robert Collyer's serinons; the most ap.
propris.to to the autumn tints about us, from
the text,

scattered long ago. By her eureinitting

chusion thet she was simply undergoing a
sacrifice to the interests of others, and'
those who ehould be Able to teke ce.re oe

• Realizing that '6he removal to is home of
her own was important, and that another
such season would certainly he her last, we
urged the mother to consent to an early
marriage, ascertaining that the young fel-
low was entirely worbliy, and though poor
would make her a goad living. The neces-
sary amount for the furniture and the
wedding dress we would contribute, and
thus that difficulty wouldbe got out of

that she would only kill herself with hard

and have the rest and leisure of a home of
her own for the winter.
"I cannot go away this autumn," she
said. " The mortgage must be paid, and
the home saved. If Tom will wait for me.,
in the spring I will go to him, itua with
your kind help will be elad to melte him a

that the wedding dress we would send to

As the pair pushed away from the shore,
and as they were lost in the bend of the
river, the most sombre of our party said to
us, "Never more will we see this child
again. The work is too much for her, anti

Toronto. True, it was likely to be a terrible
journey, yet it was determined to make a

hope. The jeurney of forty miles in the

by the faithful Tom, who piddled the light

was conelnded that instead of the ordinary
lumber waggon, our little girl should be
drawn through the mini in what was known
as a stone boat. This is simply the crotch
of a tree, perhaps fear feet long arid three
feet wide, with the butt of the crotch point-

Soon the other settlers started. on their

the first time, that misfortunes had over.

in a bad way.
"You see, the Government seized the
wbiskey still," the mother exclaimed, "and
put a heavy fine on Zack. To pay this we
had to mortgage the house and farm for
two years, and as the crops failed, and two
of the hones died, we would not have been
able to pay even the interest, had it not
been for the sale of Minnie's butter. The
lumbermen bought it all, and that saved us."
She went on further to explain that now
the principal and interest were nverdue,
and that they expected a demand at any
time which would compel them to give up
their farm. She said it would only be by
Mianie's exertions in the making of butter
if a sufficient sum could be realized to pay
the debt. Bub Minnie recently had been
in ill health, and the heavy burden she had
carried it seemed impossible for her to bear
longer. Her back was weak, tier spine af-

remarks that its length is double that of ihe
line between Paris and Marseilles, hitherto
the longest, and proceeds to review the
astonishing progress of the art since 1870.
That progress may be said to have been
confined to this country until about 1883,
when the Europlans fairly awoke to the im-
portance of the invention. Front that time
Switzerland and Belgium were especially
active in telephonic development, the num-
ber of subscribers in Switzerland being 1
per 125 inhabitants, andin Belgium 1 per
345, basing the computation upon the popu.
lotion of towns where telephones are used.
In the Italian cities the proportion is as 1
to 348. The Government monopoly of the
telegraph in England for a lona time re-
prespea the development of the 'telephon,e,
