Tnere had been ;<t ti itunph of the British arms in India, 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 - don one of the first things lie read 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.

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.

"Certainly," we remarked, " but what is the character of the matter 2 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- "For ' Tease° that a country paper has n, small circulation .compared with )t city paper, and labour expended on 1,000 papers is about the samens on 50,- 4)00 esspeeislly when it is tf sten into con- sideration that the city weekly which is furnished for a dollar per year is :suede up of the type set for the :holy.
