TUE RELIEFOF LUCKNOW,
Oh,that last day in Luoknow fort
We knew that it was the last,
Thattho enemy's line crept surely
And the end was Doming fast.
To yield to that foe meant worse
than death,
And the mon and we all worked on ;
It war one day more of smoke and
TOM.,
And then it would all be done.
There was one of us, a corporal's
wife,
A fair, young, gentle thing,
Wasted with fever in the siege,
And her mind was wandering,
She lay on the ground, in her Scot.
tish plaid,
And I took her ]toed on lay knee, ;
" When my father comes hame frau
the plough," she said,
" Ob, then please weaken me. "
She slept Iike a child 0n her father's
floor,
In the flicking of woodbine shade,
When the house -dog sprawls by the
open door,
And the mother's wheel is stayed.

It WAS s,nako and roar and powder
stench,
And hopeless waiting for death ;
And the soldier's wife like a full -
tired child,
Seemed seam to draw her breath.
I sank to sleep, and I had my dream
Of an English village lane,
And wall and garden, but one wild
scream
Brought me back to the war again.
There Janie Brown stood listening,
Till a sudden gladness broke
All over her face ; and she caught
my hand
And drew me near as she spoke.
" The Highlanders 10, dinner ye hear
The slogan far awa'?
The McGregor's ; 0, I ken it weal ;
Its the grandest o' them a'l
" God bless the bonny Highlanders 1
We're saved l we're saved 1 " she
cried,
And fell on her knees, and thanks to
God
Flowed forth like a full flood -tide.
Along. the battery -line her Dry
Had fallen among'' the men,
And they started bank ;—they were
there to die;
But was life so near them, then?
They listened for life; the rattling
fire
Far off, and the far-off roar,
Were all, and the colonel sheok hie
head,
And they turned to their guns
SIM more.
But Tessie said ; "Tho slogan's done;
But winner ye bear it noo;
The Campbells are comin' 1 its no a
dream ;
Our succors hoe broken through 1"
We heard the roar and the rattle afar,
But the pipes we could not hear ;
So the men plied their work of hope-
less war,
And knew that the end was near.
It was not long ere it made its way --
A
thrilling, ceaseless sound;
It was no noise from the strife afar,
Or the sappers under ground. ,
It was the pipes of the Highlanders t
And now they played "Auld Lang
Syne ;"
It came to our men like the voice of
God,
And they shouted along the line.
And they wept, and they shook one
another's hands,
And the women sobbed in a crowd;
And every one knelt down where he
stood,
And we all thanked God aloud.
That happy time, when we welcomed
them,
Our mon put Jessie first;
And the General gave her his hand,
and cheers
Like a storm from the soldiers
burst.
And the pipers' ribbons and tartan
streamed, '
lfarohing round and round our
line.
And our joyful cheers wore broken
with teats,
As the pipers played "Auld Lang
Syne."

Winnipeg society is much agttats
ed over a cane now being brought
into the courts. The persons
most interested are Hugh John
Macdonald, son of Sir John, his
wife, C. S. Hoare, bank manager,
and the proprietor of a IooaI news-
paper. The local newspaper involv-
ed published recently an allegory,
from which the gossips deducted
very uufavoruble opinions as to the
relations existing between two of
he parties, consequently Mr. Mac
donald brought an action of crimin-
al libel against the proprietor of the
paper. A preliminary hearing was
Ivan the other day and the accused
man was Committed. There was
real excitement 1n court. 1V Ir. and
Mra. Macdonald, lair. Hoare and a
umber of other witnesses wore ex.
mined. The defence is that the
roprietor of the paper did not write

sant, as no names were mentioned.

r The car in which Mrs. Hodley was
Y travelling turned nearly upside
down, hurling the passengers from
1 their seals to the roof of the coach.
c The oil from the lamps was sprink•
d led about the oar, and if the lamps
• had been burning at the time Mrs.
, Hedley thinks the passengers in the
car would have burned to death, as
they were unable to open the doors
before the engine driver and fireman
game to their rescue. The women
did not scroatn as reported. The
cause of the switch being left open
is believed to be due to a misunder-
standing between the switchman and
a conductor of a freight which pass-
ed adorn some time ahead of the ill-
fated passenger train. Tho col-
lapse of the train was the work of a
few momenta; The passengers,
were thrown in some eases violent•
ly againet one another, and others
against the opposite seats and win
Bowe. The crashing of glass, the
sound of Halting steam and the
dangerous position, in whioh the
passengers found themselves created
the greatest consternation. It is
stated that a lady was a few mom-
ents before the accident sitting
quietly with her baby on her lap.
When the crash came she was
thrown over to the opposite eide'
minus the infant. When all was
over she looked around expecting to
see the mangled corpse of the child,
but her joy even amidst the deso.
lotion and confusion was great when
she beheld it safe and sound hang-
ing on a hat peg.
