We had paseed Lake Superior, and were threading the forest bordering Lake Huron, when one evening we came to a better cul- tivated farm than usual, and stopped at the door of a large tarmhouse, where the scrap- ing of fiddles and echoing of feet announced one of those blithesome frolice with which the settlers at intervals lighten the mono- tony of backwoods' life. On euch occasions, every guest is welcome, and we were raptur- ously received, though the haese was crowd- ed to suffocation. But it soon appeared this was an extraordinary festival, being for the bridal of our host's daughter, whom all these friends—who came from many miles round—were to accompany to see the knot tied on the morrow. What a joyous scene it was I How they jested and laughed till the music was almost drowned, and despite the crush, danced merrily until the spruce and juniper wreaths trembled on the walls, and the forest of candles flickered above our heads; now footing old -forgotten dances with the rosy bride -maids, in their yet red- der ribbons, now clustering in triumph round the soft -eyed bride, the fairest flower I ever saw in that wild region. The sun rose on our unwearied revels, uahering in the wedding day. A hearty breakfast was despatched, and then one and all—for I deferred my journey in honour of the occasion—prepared to escort the bride on her way. Through many of the backwoods' settle- ments clergymen have never passed, and troths are lawfully plighted before the near- est magistrate. But on the present occasion it chanced that a clergyman was visiting his brother at a farm some twenty miles distant, and the marriage was hurried that the bride might have the advantage of a "arson's wedding." My two -horse sleigh being the best -appointed vehicle in company, I placed it at the bride s disposal; and we were soon speeding through the forest, fol- lowed by a bevy of sleighs and trains, filled with a laughing crowd; and while the sleigh -bells rang out the merriest of bridal peals, the young settlers played wild choruses upon their horns, until the old woods echoed with their minstrelsy. About mid-day, we reached our destina- tion, but we had to await the conclusion of another ceremony. It was a wedding, and the strangest I ever saw, for the bride was portly, the bridegroom grizzled, and they made the responses with a decision which showed they had quite made up their minds; while occupying the briclemaids' station in the rear, was an open-mouthed cluster of and eo far from WO, among 'Shattering freq.

The crack Was 0.01088 pr path, end the them was too broad for our horses to leap; all left us, therefore, was to then landward, and hurry on, if heply we might outstrip the danger. But with each step the gap beside us widened, until it al- most resembled a river; then turned again lakewarcl, and, to our consternation, we dis- covered that the ice had parted on either side of us, cutting us off from the land, and leav- ing us fioating on a large island of ice, which the swift current of the river was already driving rapidly out upon the lake. What a sudden dismay came over us as we gazed at the increasing chasm no effort of ours could bridge ! The bridegroom was eager to swim the space, and bear tidings to the farm; but it would only have been a useless sacrifice of life, for long ere he had gone half the distance, he would have died in his frozen clothes, There was but one chance left—that we might yet hit on souse projecting point of the lake -shore. But as our raft floated steadily further and further But from land, that last hope vanished; and before long, we who had lately been so joy- ous, stood sadly watching the white out- line of the hills fade into the night, as they whose last sight of land it was, and with the sorrowful knowledge that the only doubt remainine on our doom was, whether we should perish miserably upon our frozen resting -place, or he swept off into the ice- cold water of the lake ! It was a terrible prospect; and the re- membrance that we had in a manner brought the evil upon our own heads, increased its bitterness tenfold. Had we but apprised any one of our route when we diverged from. the usual track, we should undoubtedly have been sought for in canoes, and most probably rescued; while, as it was, the blind path by which we turned off to the shore would put them all at fault The bride- groom's self -reproaches were keenest of any, for he felt himself the destroyer of the bride so lately committed to his care; svhile the poor girl wept in utter abandonment of spirit, not only for the blighting of her bright hopes, and for the young life she must short- ly render up, but for the sudden parting from the beloved ones she should never see again Meanwhile, the moon rose in the deep - blue sky, making night beautiful, flooding our ice -raft with it s silvery light, quivering in broken rays on the broad lake, which now rolled in waves around us, and shining like a glory on the distant hills, giving us one more glance at earth. But the cold was intense. The wind, straight from the frozen north, swept over the lake in fitful gusts, and seemed to pierce us like icy arrows; and though, wrapped in the heavy sleigh -furs, we crouched within its narrow limits we could scarce endure the rigor of the night; and, worse than all, our fair companion had to share these hardships with no protection save the most sheltered corner of the sleigh, wondering juveniles, the offspring of the and the warmest wrapper; yet she never bride and bridegroom, who had long been murmured, but, with the gentle heroism of legally, as they were now religiously, mar- ried. The young people's turn was next; and despite the struggles of the little ones, and the boisterous leughter of their elders, they were all duly christened, and then led away by their newly wedded parents, amid a hum lasted until they had driven off in the two trains awaiting them. Tben came the wedding of our own fair some sign of coming aid, and it was with a bride, and she seemed almost scared to find deeper despondency we discovered that, as far how solemn were the words which bound the eye could. reach, there was nothingbut her to share the bur ens as well as joys of lake and sky, save on one spot some five her bridegroom ; but she had always meant miles distant, where floated a fragment of to do so; and taking heart of grace, she! ourraft, which, cracked from the commence - smiled happily as he handed her into ray sleigh for the return -journey.

Military Mechanism, No crowd, however brave, even when coins posed of diseiplined men, WI now fight reg. ular soldiers. Insurgents cannot obtain artillery of the Modern kind, for only Gov, erninents store, or eau store the necessary projectiles; and if rioters can obtain mus- kets, they cannot secure the millieses of cartridges necessary for their effective use. Even in a city, unteutiers cannoe pass through that dreadful sweep of leaden spray with whieh a modern regiment protects its posi- tion '• and they could no more face well served breech -loading cannon than they could face an outpouring of accurately di- rected thunderbolts from the sky—an im- provement," by the way, in war now quite within the range of scientific foresight. Many accidental. eircumstances, especially the increase of wealth which makes revolt too injurious, and the great leniency of mod- ern Governments, have occurred to conceal the truth in all its fullness ; but it may be questioned whether in gurope a popular rising unsupported by an army is any long- er possible. Experienced soldiers doubt whether even England could not be held down by a resolute army possessed of full arsenals, and it may be taken as certain that 10,000 men in possession of adequate batteries on Hampstead and at Sydenham, would hold the uudrilled population of Loudon entirely at their mercy. They could, in fact, reduce Loudon to a heap �f ruins in 12 hours. We doubt if this generation will see again it rising even in Paris unless favor- ed by a portion of the soldiery; and in any open province of Europe, an insurrection would he a senseless defiance of irresistible force. All Catalonia would not be so dangerous to Madrid as one regular brigade. This is a great change, only beneficial be- cause for the moment the enemy to be dread- ed threatens civilization and freedom from below, and not from above. The Kings or Dictators of the future may yet oppress terribly, especially through inequitable tax- ation. Immunity when battle is over is a terrible addition to the power of 0.0. ince- der, and we may yet see a conqueror disarm Europe and hold it down with his scientific weapons as completely as ever the knightly caste of feudal times held down the French or the German peoples. Men say—we have said it ourselves—that there is compensation to be found for this in the extinction of the danger from barbarians, but that confidence is a little premature. We shall know more about it when the Chinese have learned to make weapons of precision, and begin to roll forward armies which can destroy as well as those of Europe, and can afford to expend 5,000 men a day besides. Civiliza- tion is for the moment clad in enchanted armor; but suppose that Pekin, or Mecca, or Samarcand forges Exealiburs successfully! There is nothing whatever to prevent their doing it except want of knowledge, and a Chinaman with a repeating rifle which he knew fully how to use would be a Franken- stein against whom the human race might be obliged to unite in order to destroy him. STATISTICS. There are nearly twice as many births annually in Germany as in France. In other -words, when 100 children are born in the latter country, 184 are born in the for- mer. The total cost of convict prisons in Eng- land is diminishing. In 1881-82 it was £345,6.32; it has now sunk to £299,876. In the year 1881.82 the staff consisted of 1,579 male and 166 female officers; the numbers are now 1,376 and 124 respectively. Between 1875 and 1885 the production of the Yorkshire coal -field increased by 3,072,- 000 tons, that of Derbyshire by 4,669,000 tons; and that of West Lancashire by 2,- 610,000 tons. There was an increase of 6,- 571,000 tons in South Wales, of 3,485,000 tons in East Scotland, and of 3,500,000 tons in the Great Northern coal -field. The losses from exposure and starvation among cattle, in nine of the principal breed- ing States and Territories of the American Union, during the past year was more than 4,000,000, out of a total of less than 16,000,- 000. That is, one in four was starved from drought in summer or killed from a com- bination of starvation and exposure to severe weather in winter. For the year 1886 the imports into the United Kingdom amounted to 4349,381,000, a decrease of 421,023,000, or a little over 5e, per cent., as compared with 1885. More than three-fourths of the reduction is in articles of food and drink, especially wheat. The exports amounted to 0212,364,000, a decrease of .£681,000, or about e per cent. Most classes of articles show reductions, but yarns and textile fabrics show increases. Transgression in Youth. To transgress is literally to go beyond the line of right, truth, or safety. Trans- gression may be moral, intellectual, or phy- sical, or it may combine all qualities in the same act. By an inexorable law of nature, a penalty follows every transgression. Nor, in the physical world, does ignorance of the law in the least avert or modify the penalty. The result is the same with thoughtlessness, and even with good inten- tions One peculiarity of early transgression is that it is largely committed in ignorance of the penalty. The youth is without that ex- perience again st which old transgressors sin, as well as without that knowledge of phy- aical laws and their penalties which conies of later study and instruction. Again, youth has a surplus of vigor. The recuperative tendency is very, strong within him. No appreciable harm seems to follow wrong -doing, and if it does, all appar- ent trace of it is soon gone. But some sins are like cumulative poieons. Small doses of them have no appreciable effect, yet the poison remains in the system, and accumulates with every repetition, until clatigeroure or even fatal, results ensure Some such sins also gradually form them- selves into habits, as bard to break as chains i ofNs toe:I:vie; youth but little more, the arent p as the child knows little of this, atlci should be, and usually is, aware that inchal- germs tend toward moral corruption and! physical ruin ; that unholy passions shorten life and deetroy one's influence ; that the hoy, whatever his intellect or culture, who takes the wine-erip from the hand of beauty, may die in the gutter; alcohol in all its forms, and opium and tobacco, work in time such changes withie the phyeical system, thee the very will, the supreme ruler in men, becomes enslaved to a depraeed bodily IPTPehttieheitgoe that destroy the will -power axe ix, he veq 5nhtniie of the brain and nerves, Joel ta-Ei prester and more itretriev- eble duriug the period of growth.

Cadmium also promotes the oxidation of pure melted lead, and that too with it play of beautiful colors. M. Camille Koechlin asserts that the solar spectrum yields only two simple colors, blue and yellow. The third is blended with yellow and blue to constitute the reds on the one hand and the yiolet on the other, purple being red deprived of yellow, or violet deprived of blue, or simply the spec- trum without yellow or blue. The only country that comes anywhere near the United Kingdom as regards the average cost et producing coal is the United States, where the difference shown is only about sixpence per ton. Every other coun- try is still more or less dependent upon Eng- land for their coal supplies ; and this has been increasingly the case even within re- cent years. Quarrels among people of the lower ordera in China are less common than among the same classes in Europe, and, when they do occur, they do not result in the use of of- feusivelangua,ge—atleast, not very offensive. Chinese can be as angry as Englishmen or Frenchmen" but they give vent to their anger withless affront to propriety. It is not very dreadful, for instance, for Ah -Sing to say to Min-ying, " I'll make you eat capsicum 1" Mr. T. Fraser of Aberdeen has introduced a new method of preparing clay for prevent- ing leakage in reservoirs, water -tanks and so on. His plan is to puddle with dry com pressed clay, which clay is dried and ground before being applied to the bed of the reser- voir, arch, or road, and is thus believed to render it more water -tight. The compressed clay absorbs water, but, being prevented to a certain extent from expanding, it does not readily admit of infiltration. Metal is now being substituted for card- board in bookbinding. This novelty is known as the "British Pellisfort" binding, and it consists in the use of thin sheet -metal for covers. The metal is specially prepared, and the cover may be bent and straightened again without perceptible damage. It may, in fact, be safely subjected to such treatment as would destroy ordinary covers. The metal is covered with the leather usually employed in bookbinding, and the finished book pre. sents no difference in appearance except in t he greeter thinness of the cover. The beds of the ancients had, in general, few peculiarities to distinguish them from our own simpler forms. Both the Greeks and the Romans had their beds supported on frames that resembled the modern bed- steads of to -day; feather and wool mattress- es were common, and the bed -clothing, in the luxurious periods of each nation, was richly decorated with elaborate needlework. The Britons, when conquered by Cresar, slept on skins, after the manner of the North American Indians ; but at a later period they made use of straw sacks as beds. The ancient Egyptians had a couch of pecu- liar shape and a profusion of soft cushions and richly -embroidered drapery. Most of the beds mentioned in the Bible were prob- ably of the ordinary simple kind. A Parson's Description of the Newest Style of Waltz. The gents encircle their partner's waiste with one arm.

The ladies' faces are brought against those of the men, or into their bosoms, breast against breast, nose against nose and toes against toes. Now they go in again, making a sound like Georg- ey, porgey, derey, perey, ridey, puley, coach- ey, poachey. This dance is not anal], but it's the extras I object to. Moral Culture of Children. The cultivation of the moral faculties of the child cannot be begun too early. De - praying influences are 85 abundant and so certain to be brought in contact with the little one at a very early period in its exist- ence, that the attempt to fortify the mind against such influences, cannot be xnade at too early, date. It is of the greatest im- portance that while the minds of children axe yet impressible, such images of truth and purity, should be formed upon them as cannot he easily effaced. Children ought early to be taught to love the right because it is right. The instinct of fear should Seldom be appealed to, and never when such en appeal can be avoided.
