Tlie Meat was dark when Sam set oat To court old Janes' daughter, lie kinder felt as ff he must, And kinder hadn,t oughter. His heart againet his waisteoat throbbed, His feelings had a tussle, neerly conanered him, with his six feet of bone and muscle. The anal& in the window shone Witte& most doleful glimmer, AndSara be felt his courage ooze, Astid through his fingers slimmer. Seya he—"Now, Sam, don't be a fool ! Taxies:image'shaking doubter, Go on,and pop the giteetion For you can't live withoueher." But still, as he drew near the house, las knees get all a tremble, The beatieg of his heart ne'er beat Efts effort to dissembre. gage he—"Now, Sam, don't be a goose To let the female wimmen Kama all your thoughts a sielter so, and set your head a swimmin' " So Sara he kinder raised the latch, His courage- also raising, Aladin a moment sat inside, Old Janes' crops a praising. He tried awhile to talk the farm, In words half dale half witty, Not dreaming that old Jones well knew EiB only thonglft was Kitty. At last the old folks went to bed— The Jones' were but harnan, Old3ones was son:wail g of a man And Mrs. aones—a woman— And Kitty she the pitcher took, And started for the cellar; It 'wasn't often that she had So promising a feller. And somehow when she eaRte upstairs, And Sam had drunk his eider, Thera seemed a difference in the chairs, And Sam's was dose beside her.

Bat this, if you live long enough, Yon Barely will dieeover, There's nothing in this world of ours, Except the loved and lover. The morning light was growing gray As Sam the farm was leaving, • Shame was surely not the face Of one half -grieved or grieving.

The wife of Engineer Mellville, the gallant officer of the luckless Arctic ex- ploring steamer "Jeannette," who is now searching for his luckless comrades around the 'Icebound coast of Northern Siberia, occupies a picturesque little cottage amid climbing honey -suckles, and fragrant blossoming lilacs at Sharon Hill. "Although it has been more than three years since George left us all here," she said the other day, "and went out on that ill-fated voyage, and although oceans of cruel waters, and leagues of cruel land have separated him from ne, I have seen him twice within a year." Startling as this state - meat waa, Mrs. Mellville was evident. ly is earnest. "Oa the tenth of last Rine," she continued, "I retired to my room late at night. Days of anxious waiting for some news of the "Jean- nette" without bringing a ray of hope had almost caused me to despair of ever again seeing my husband. I had fallen into an uneasy sleep, from which one of the children aroused me. It was, per- haps more than an hour after this, and while I was wide awake, that I became conscious of a strange presence in the room, and you. may well imagine with what mingled feelings of joy and fear I heard George's voice, and. looking up saw him etanding by the beside. Saw him as plainly as I see you. He was saying: 'Count the bolls! Count the bens!' and as he spoke I distinctly heard the bell of a ship striking, two -by two the strokes of the hour. 'Count them continued my husband, and I said 'yes George.' I remember that when the seventh stroke sounded, I thought that if it was a ship's bell/there could be but one more, and as the last sound died away my husband said, 'Eight bells, the Jeannette is lost and vanished from the room. At that mo- ment the sitting -room clock struck the hour of 4, and it was the morning of the llth of June. At that very hour on that very morning the 'Jeannette' went down into the fathoraless depths of the Arctic ocean, and the ice floe closed over her grave. I am no spirit- ualist," continued Mrs. Mellville, “nor do I believe in spirits. I do not attempt to exTlain what I have just told you, but it ie every word of it true. I never expected after that to hear of the safety of the crew of the geaunette.LA few weeks after the occurrence whi I hal/air:1st narrated, and at the same hour in the morning, I had arisen for the day, and was in the hall which you see there. 'Again I saw my husband, nay, I even felt his breath in my face. I was dreadfully startled, but ha,d suf- ficient courage to call out, 'George, is that you ?" when the figure disappeared aa if wallowed up in the air." "And did you never speak of this re - Porter. rer?" said the astonished re- , "Frequently," eaid Mrs. Melville ; "Frequently to our little household,and once to Mrs. DeLong, the msfortruaate Wife of the poor commander of the 'Jeannette.' Last summer, or early in the fall, I met her in Philadelphia. She Waa hopeful, even confident, of the ultimate return of her husband. I was cast down, and finally told her what I have just told you. She was disposed to laugh at me, but I told her that I beliex ed that the 'Jeanette' had been lost on the 11th of June. Alas for poor Airs. DeLong,, ray prophecy was too true. Here is a letter from her to my little girl, on the very day that the news came that Captain DeLoiag's dead body had been found." Missing the Mark. The Perth Courier has this item :—A few months ago Mr. Jackson., an engine driver on the Canada Pacific Railway Was sent to Manitoba for duty on the hue there, leaving his wife here in the eseautirne, with the intention, we believe, of having her follow hina after a little. Bat out west houses and other accommodations are scarce, and. no Word to come along was sent; at length getting impatient at the delay, Mrs. Jackson concluded to surprise her hus- band by going out where he was and meeting him. Accordingly she bought a ticket or Manitoba, set out and ar- rived there. In the meantime Mr. Jackson, for sonao reason or otter determined to leave the North-west a.11(1 come home. so he too bought a ticket, started for Perth, and *irrived 1 hers in due time. If he sent word to his wife of his corning it did not reach ,her nail after she had gone; so in blissful ignorance of each other's journeying, and each hoping to get and give a joy- ful greeting at the end of their destina- tion, man an wife set out on their fifteen hundred miles trip, passed one another on the road, and ended their journey in mutual surprise and disap- pointment. One strange feature of the affair was that Mr. Jackson is sure he saW in a passing glance, his wife at St. Pani station, or some other on the route, but at the time never suspecting the truth, only looked upon the appar- ent recognition as one of coincidence. However the husband at once sent money to his wife in Manitoba for her immediate return here; and though she is expected home shortly, he is out of pocket $1.00 or more by it. i Manitoba Notes. -,- The Presbyterians of Crystal Ciy are preparing to build a church. , -1-Several house in the village of St. Charles have been quarantined for sme.11-pox. -k--The mosquitos are said to be much worse this season in the Northwest, than during the past two years. --The Pembina Mountain mail ar- rived in Emerson on Saturday drawn by a four horse team. -L-The charter of incorporation for the Rat Portage Railway, has been is- sued by the Manitoba Government. —The rather novel sight of a run- away ox team, was witnessed , in Win- nipeg the other dray. —The promoters of the Winnipeg and Hudson Bay Railway, are dissatisfied witi the subsidy offered by the Domin- ion Government. —A largeforceis at work on the Southwestern Branch of the Canada Pacific Railway, filling up wash -outs caned by the floods last spring. —The municipality of Emerson have just disposed of $50,000 worth of bonds bearing interest at 7 per cent., at a premium.

The route when completed will give the St. :Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba two3direct lines into Winnipeg from St. Paul. Bonuses of $150,000 have been subscribed by citizens along the proposed line. —The gratitude of a Portager is thus described by the local press 6t that town: "An elderly woman found a purse containing over 0200. She was honest, and informed many of her ac- qua4ntanoes of the fact, telling them that if they knew the owner to tell him who had it. The bwner, one /of our citizens, heard of the person who found the purse, went to her and received it without as much as thanking her for it. It is nothing more than another in- stance of honesty rewarded. —An accident occurred on the Can- ada pacific Railway, between Brandon and the Portage, about midnight one week lately, which nearly resulted fatally to a number of the Portage people. A frieight train was about to leave Brandon, and those wishing to get into the Portage as semi as possible decided upon coming on that train. The train started and had not come very many miles, when an engine was been advancing ori the same track. "Jump for your lives," shouted the conductor, and jump they did. They had hardly done se when the crash came, and a smash-up resulted. It was a narrow escape from death for those who were on board. • —The Winnipeg Free Press/ says: It is understood that the two new pro- vinces to be established. between Mani- toba 'and the Rocky Mountains are to be organized immediately.

Lieutenant Governor Dewdney will exercise gubernatorial power over the former province. —A correspondent says: Some of your readers may not know the exact location of Glasgow, so it may be as well to explaiu that it is in township 5, range; 13, west. Two yea,ra ago Messrs. Playfair and Creamer, from Lanark, Ont., locatedihere, cheosing farms on the bank of a little stream running along the foot of the Tiger Hills, a place which in its natural beauty, could scarcely be surpassed. The district has settled up fast since that time. The soil is rich sandy loam, well adapted for wheat growing. I never saw finer sane. pies Of grain than were grown here last seasoh. Mr. Greenway has had a town site surveyed, and a building is now in course of erection,to be used as a general store. The Nile Delta. A correspondent of the New -York Herald, describes the 'delta of the Nile as Val !extensive plain qf made ground— madelrom time imm'emorial, and pro- duciing nearly all the agricultural wealth of Egypt, nourishing its it does, not only two-thirds of the population, but sending exports of tropical produee to all parts of the Mediteranean, and cotton and sugar to the markets of the western Powers. This tract, overgrown with dates, trees, palms, orange groves and all kinds of tropical shrubbery, with 4n equable climate where fevers do not more than ordinarily prevail,now forms one of the most delightful garden spots in the world. Even a ride over any of the railways traversing it reveals scenes and beauties unknown in other lands in the tropics. It is difficult to see with its wealth of produce, how any - fancied scarcity of supplies cari threalten either; army. Should the almost inevi- table gtruggle take place. It is near the low African shores only, and along the margin of the Red Sea and Suez Canal that there is any large tract of arid country, although it is true that two- thirds of the delta area remains in a state of non -cultivation, owing to the lassitude of the population, the expense and difficulties of irrigation; and the overflowingof the surface. That which gives tnis tract such amazing fertility is not, as many suppose, that it is simply subjected to an rmnualoverflow; but it is rather due to heavy deposits of rich soil in the main stream,1,400 miles from the Mediterranean,by the Atbara confluent, which brings down rich washings from the Abyssinian hills — and these for ages have been carried down to the sea by the. swift -flowing Nile, apd have built nil the delta of the river upon which the army of Arabi Paella was en- camped lately. • Liquid Man.ure. I 1 Regarding the management of liquid manure, a correspondent of the Albany Cultivator writes as follows; My yard is so conatructed that all the liquid which washes out of the manure heap by heavy rains, collects in a cistern, •which is 10x15 feet, and eight feet deep, and connects by drains with horse and cow rlitables. It is laid in stone and well yetnented. Two inch oak plank 12 feet long are used to cover it, and the Manure is heaped on this land around. I generally tind it pretty Well filled ,in the spring, and then it remains an eabse matter tohaulthe liquid to the fields. For hauling it I use a cask of about 120 gallons capacity, which when needed is put upon the farm wagon, after the box has been removed, and a frame made for that purpose has been put on. For pumping:the liquid into a barrel I use a cucumber pump. This pump is set high enough so that the wagon 4n drive close to it under the spout,/ and by lengthening the handle of the purrip it can be worked from the ground. A tin pipe svl+n needed, is hung by a wire to the ,/ speut of the pump,, and discharges the liquid through a square hole cut in the tap of the barrel: A piece of board about a foot square • is nailed by meansof two leather straps over the bung hole. When we get to the field the bung is withdrawn,the liquid dlashed against the board, (which of course is only fastened on the upper side, so that , it can be lifted up), and driving along the liqaid is spread as nicely as can be desired over the track I taken by the wagon. The cost of these arrange- ments is trilling. ^ Change of Business. SEAFORTH FOUNDRY.
