Une year tweed. Tnere had been

aud the eatne of admit!! de Vray we
associated with it. His name was in
everybody's month. He had received
promotiou and other honors, and was
returning to England after the termi-
netfion of the campaign as Major-Gen-
eritl Sir George de Vray.
As for Miilie Moyle, she was be-
trothed to the new Earl of Beauvray,
and when Sir George arrived in L In -

the -Papers wale that the marriage be.
tween this young lady and his consit,
was to take place in a week.
He no longer cared now. He went
to Mr. Moyle's house o0 the very day
of his retnru, in the afternoon, and was
nshcred into the dining -room, where
llurnheon was laking place. He was
received like a hero, for Mr. Moyle
liked to be on gond terms with snccess-
fol men, and Millie was anxious to
t)btaii something like forgiveness for
her jilting. He received it fully and
freely, eo far as could be judged from
the young general's manner, for he was
frank and pleasant, but after first greet-
ings were over he addressed himself
principally to poor little Gertie Brown,
wile sat radiant au1 trembling. To
her lis r'eeonuted his adventures, and
oh, what a brave knight she ihonght
flim, with his sunburnt face and the
modesty of true glory that breathed in
all lois words 1 The new LordBeauvrey
was not present.
At last, when a toaet had been drunk
to George's honor and Millie's happi-
ness—honestMr. Moyle acting ns toilet-
snnster—the general drew' a parcel from
his pocket and extracted from it Gere
tie's book -marker. No longer scarlet
now, but faded pink from exposure to
the air, for it had seen =my a battle,
et twined with the soldier's sword knot.
' here was. hanging front it the Cross
of the Bath, a Victoria Uress, and
something else—a wedding ring. 'Will
you take all three Gertie ?' said George;
approaching Millie's little cousin.
'Breve, Sir -George,' exclaimed Mil-
lie, elupping her hands, though she
turned a little pale, 'I always saia that
Gertie .rind you were made for each
other.'
'So slid I,',eried worthy Moyle; but,
I say, bulled •rr'hat's that ?' '•
There hail'•been a loud knock at the
door, and a footman entered :with a
' telegram on a tray. Mr. Moyle open-
ed the missive and uttered au exclama•
cion of horror and dismay': 'Great

there some did slot live more than
two years. It wag my duty for fourteen
hours to w •rlc with pink and shovel at
the extraction of the ore, and then oar•
ry it it baskets up long ladders to a
platform, where it was broken into
small fragments, sorted sled sifted by
women who lived the same painful life
ate the man. After my day's work eras
over, lntviog nu books to read 1 was
glrtd to take myself to bed almost as
ROM] 581114 fit.ished my evening meal.
My bed was liswn in a rook ; it resem-
bled a sepulchre. I had no bed clothes;
I laid down in my workingclothes, set -
twitted as they were with the quicksil-
ver. No changes of clothes, were al-
lowed. In this way I spent about
three years and a half. Some of my
companions died from the dreadful sore
they got from the quicksilver touching
their skip, tore as it was with sharp
rocks in the mine. At last, ou a
Sunday I felt more than ordinarily ill,
and was lying in my dismal hole re-
ficcting ou the hapny days of my youth
and Cie apparent iwpossibity of escape
from my wretched condition, when I
heard the tramp of man, and was pulled
nut of my bed. Snnday Was no holi-
day in the mines, but my illness was
my excuse this day for rest. I was
put in a truck, and was heeled up to
the air, together with the minerals that
I Incl collected. For about six months
I was scarcely able to drove with the
rheumatism and neuralgia. There
were upwards of 200 women, some
ladies of distinction, in the mines where
I was. These worked twelve or four-
teen ho trsya day at breaking and sift-
ing the ore. These wretched females
were generally dears in a year, but their
places were always recruited by fresh
arrisaIH from Russia,. - The Inlets was a
living charnel -house, the lrabitatien of
gnomes who went about their work in
eavnge despair. Some chopped off
their own bands and feet, thinking
that if mutilated they wonld be saved
from this fearful labor ; but it merely
hastened their end and iutersified their
sufferings.
CORRECT.
The Waterinoe, N. Y., Observer says:
The other day an old and respectable
citizen came into our office, and, after
paying his last year's subscription,
took a seat and remarked :
"I guess you needn't send me the
paper any longer ; I have just subgorib•
ed fur a new• Philadelphia paper which
suits tpe pretty well, and it don't cost
so )much as the Observer."
Here he banded us the paper for in-
spection. We found it to be a neat lit-
tle sheet, handsomely printed, with a
large engraved head and containing
about forty-eight columns of missal-
laneons reading matter.
"1t')Lir looking paper." we remarked,
as we ]landed it back to, iirn, "but did
you ever see anything concerning your
county?"
"Well, I don't know as I ever have."
•"Anyl sting in regard to the state ?"
"Nothing.' :.
"And yet you give the paper that
contains the local reports, the state of
grope, the deaths and the marriages
and the thousand and cue happeniugn
from week to week which make up the
History of the region iu which you are
most interested, and which you can get
from no other source, and take instead
a.city .paper, simply beeauseit comes a
little 4oheaper. '
"'Yes, and it contains more redaing

"Certainly," we remarked, " but

Nothing in regard to your own village–
your sohools, your churches, your local
imprevemeuts and the thousand and
one things that happen iu your comity.
There is nothing ie it helps to built(
up your county avid support home in-
stitutions. It is as foreign to you as
the city in which it is published, It may
contain wore reading matter, but your
neighborhood is not represented in its
columns. "
" But why can't you furnish your.
palter clts:aper if they can afford a lunch
lart,or one in a city at a low price ?'.he
queried. " Labor is ciertainly cheaper
here-

He was a young man of 24, wearing
