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.

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." NOUShIt1Ulat HINTS.

Ent, an ex•army main 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.

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.
