It was a sight to see, away heck in this wilderness, this group of turbulent young - eters, so vigorous in limb, so etrong muscle, end so daring in their advances, as 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. - °nail. There seemed zio fate io attire for her in wide!' sublimity eould form . a part. She hardly knew the meaning of tha text ; petba.ps she had never heard it before. Yet in her clear visiou, she eew ehe drift of the lines, and as she look.ed up into my eyes, I wonder now that I did not see in their blue e depths:the real sobliinity which this gentle ✓ life would attain. How by a sweet and. • • noble influence sha would mould the lives a of othere an I save them, how by hard work e and. unselfish devotion she would save the home for those whom she loved, and keep o the family together, and how, by her saf- e faring, she would become a martyr, and 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. Good-bye, every one," we said, as we a pushed °fruit° the limpid, stream. "Good bye, Minnie," I exelaimed, and wafting a e kiss to her froin the canoe, saw her press tae little volinne of Longfellow to her breast, and in her bright, upturned face, in which the eettine sun was shining, there was such a look of longing, es to 'moat ine to thie day. * * * lame in his belt, and his pistol nn his hip He entered shortly after us and gave u want welcome, fearing we were excis officers, with intent to raid the privet whiskey still irom which he field th Indians fire -water that was fiery indeed Unfortunately he himself imbibed far to ranch of this ingredient, cal already ha become a terror in the region round abou to the south, when under the lulluence o his own liquor. Notwithstanding tin infirmity, ansi by the add of hie energeti 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 there, the acinunniation reached the as- tounding fleures of 1100 pounds of butter, sweeter and feesher than whieli never orna. 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. itors for our Sunday meeting, invitetioue for vrhich had gone out in various direetions, we had trimmed oor tent with leaves, grasses, berries and mosses, so that it was pititore to behold. Our pleasant task had hardly been completed, before, in the die - lance, we dimmed the family of the ,Greve, .

Paddling alone on efiunie's side was a separate canoe, con- taining a good-looking young fellow, with , w leering blue tie, who seemed devoting, 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. ly pie, and worn and thin. Toe frail te carry the inevitable het% whish she held in her arms, is she rose her slight frame aeerne.I to bend under the head. Surround. 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 suelt troable, and it seemed ae if we eoald 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 to wait I" 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, devotion to the boys they would Imre been scattered long ago. By her eureinitting toil and unselfish devotion, she was their guardian angel, arid aa I looked at her frail form, it eeerned impossible to resist the con. chusion thet she was simply undergoing a sacrifice to the interests of others, and' those who ehould be Able to teke ce.re oe themselves. • 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.

"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 happy home. But my first duty is to my parents arid myfeinily, and they can only be saved by keeping them together, with the house and tlt e farm for them,' In vain did we urge that ib was simply selt-saeritice; that others could be got to mire her place, anti *Ghat she owed it to her- self to save her strength and life for her inture husband and her owu happiness. lent gentle as she Was in all things else, she was immovable in this.

Conducting her to the canoe, we bade her good-bye, telliug her we would at once order the furniture for lier little home, and that the wedding dress we would send to her the moment she sent tie word. 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.

True, it was likely to be a terrible journey, yet it was determined to make a tie easily as possible, became it was the only hope. The jeurney of forty miles in the canoe, Was easy enough, attended as it was by the faithful Tom, who piddled the light craft himeelf all the way, accompanied by the mother and one or tilts boys in another canoe. But the journey front liaysville to BraCe- bridge was the most terrible to contemplate It Wee e. distance of eighteen miles, through mud roads up to the hubs of the wheels, over rocks and stones, that tvotild seem simple death to the poor patient. So it 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- ed, and the two limbs, like wings, turned so as to go through the mud with, the least res.istauee possible. A yoke of oxen and a stone boat were provided, awl on some straw and it quilt and pillow the little. heroine was tenderly laid.

Soon the other settlers started. on their homeward journey, and we were ler b alone with the Grey family, when we learned, for the first time, that misfortunes had over. taken them, and that things were generally 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- fected. Besides this, the young mansitting beside her had asked her in marriage, and as she seemed to like him, it was expeeted they wowld bee moaned in the epring, and she heroily knew, in that dase, what would become of them, because Minnie, she said, seemed to be the only element in the whole house that kept them together.

TILE TELEPLIO.NTE ABROAD. L'Economiste Francais in tommenting upon the opening of the fong-distance tele. phone line between New York and Chicago, 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, and private companies are obliged to pay a heavy royalty to the Government, se that the proportion of subtcribers to population in London is but 100 1133, little ,reere than that shown in the cities of RtissitaGermainy, Austria and France are relatively somewhat. baokward, but upon the whole the use of the telephone appears to be far more genet -al than evottld be atIPPosed• The ear'iest Roman coins were stamped with the figure of au ox, hence the English word, pecuniary, fro re everts, cv blear,
