There is a melancholy interest attaching
to a man who has fallen from a high po-
sition almost into the depths of degredation.
Nor is, this interest in all cases merely
idle curiosity ; such may be the case with
casual' observers, but to an observant man
there: is an impressive lesson taught by the
career of one whose hopes have been ruined,
especially if that ruin were the necessary
outgrowth of his own folly and carelessneF

Cue of the rescued, John Boyd, giv-es the
following account`of the affair :--" I was
\corking in the. re }r workings, a matter of
two hundred fathoms from the bottom of
the shaft. - My son was working with me,
but when the 'corning' hour came.I sent
him out. Before he had time to go past the
bottom of the pit, I heard him coming back
and crying `Father, father, come on.' T wars
speaking to another man at th0 time, and
when I heard my son cry, I rant my road -
head and cried to him to know if their was
anything wrong. Says he, ' The pit's on
fire—come out quick or you will lose your
life.' I asked him if it was a gas fire., 'No,'
says he, it conies from the, tube. The
tube's on fire on the rising side of the shaft,'
So says 1,1 ' Make you the best road you
can to the bottom, and never mind me'
No,' says he, ' go you on and I will over-
take you.' There were four men working
beside me at the time, and when they heard
what my son said they. made for the Shaft
I again told my son to push on and 'save
'I`a:m an old man,' I says, y , 'and
so it's not much matter about me ; but you
are young, and mu..st save yourself.'—' No,'
says he, I am not going till I see the whole
of the men out." He then ran to the
road head and called to some other men
that if they were not at the loot of the
shaft in two minutes their lives 'were done.
I had gone twenty or thirty yards towards .
the "shaft bottom, but returning, I again
called on my son to come and save him-
self. The only answer that I got was
that he would perish rather than not warn
all the men. At last I got him induced
to come with me to the shaft. When we
gotto the bottor, of . the shaft the trap
doors were on fire, and all about was thick
with spoke. The cage was at the bottom
and seven men were in it. "They cried for
more and my son pushed me into it. As
I got ire somebody objected that there' were
toe many; but some one .else cried, 'Let
as many come as there is room for. The

GREEK BRIGA.�rDs.—A French man, resid-
ing in Athens, hastold how his servant one
day timidly accosted him,'twisting his cap.
between his fingers. " You have something
tc.ask me !" "Yes,. Effendi, but I dare
not." " Dare, nevertheless." "Effendi,
I want to spend a month on the mountain."
On the mountain? What for ?" " To
stretch my limbs, saving your respect, Ef-
fendi.
ffendi. ,I get rusty here. In Athens you
are a heap of civilises, (I have no intention
of offending you,) and 1 am afraid of catch-
ing your complaint" The master, touched
by such ' alid reasons allowed his valet to .
take a month's man -shooting. He return-
ed at the expiration of his leave of absence,
and neer touched so much as a pin of his
master's property. There was a poor gen-
darme who,long
h for years aspired after the
rank of oorP oral. He was a good soldier,
brave enough,. and the least refractory in
its company ; but his only patron washim-
self. So he deserted and turned brigand.
Here he - was able to display his talents.
He was soon well known to a]1 the heads of
the gendarmerie. They tried to catch him,
and missed catching five or six times. Giv-
ing up that game, they sent a friend_ to
treat with -him. You shall have your
ppardon, and to make upfor your trouble,
�
you_shall be made a corporal to -morrow,
and a sergeant in the course of the year."
g
His ambition was satisfied. He consented
to be made a corporal, awaiting patiently
his sergeant's stripes. He had long to wait
for them. One day his patience was worn
out, and he returned to the mountain. He
had not killed/three men before they made
haste to snake him a sergeant. He after-
-wards rose to be an officer, with no other
patrons than the persons he haci put under-
grpund. There did exist one amazing com-
