I • other name, but Peter, though si very old man, was bright and ha e, and quite able to -take an almost c11ildlike 1 interest in all Jan's plans and , tnuee- meats. At first Jan thought, of occupying him self with building a fine new hot* ; but after he had been a week in Shhtland, his ambitious project seemed ahnost ridiculous. Ile noticed also that Mar- garet's heart clung to her old hon,e, the plain little house in which_ she 14d suf- fered, and enjoyed, and learned eq much. So he sat down contentedly on sthe hearth from which he began a life whose troubled dawning had been sheceeded by a day so brilliant, and an evening so &no Snorro, never far away, and never long away, from his " dear captain," his " dear Jan," bought the HUN cot- tage' in which he had once lived. There he hung again the pictured Christ, and there he arranged, in his own Way, all the treasures he had gatherecl during his roving life. Snorro's house was 'it won- derful place for the boys of Lerwick. They entered it with an. - almost awful delight, They sat hour after Wile, lis- tening to the kind, brave, good Man, in whom every child found a friend and comforter. His old. Mates alsq dearly Ioved to spend their evenings wi it Snor- ! ro, and hear him tell about the 1angers ' he had passed through, and the 4eedshe had done. Hew fair ! how calm and happy was this evening of a busy day ! Yet in its - sweet repose many a voice from the out- side world reached the tired wayfarers. There were frequent letters from Jan's children, and they came from dill coun- tries, and brought all kinds of strange news. There were rare visits fkom old friends, messages and tokens of !remem- brance, and numerous books and papers that kept for them the echoee of the places they had left. Neither did they feel the days long, or grow weary with inaction. Jan and Snorro, like the majority of men whose Iife-work is finished, conceived a late but ardent affection for their mother earth. They each had gardens and mien hot- houses, and they were always making experiments with vegetables and flowers. It- was wonderful how much pleasure they got out of the patches of I ground they tried to beautify. Then the fishing season always renewed their yor th. The boats in which Jan or Sno.rr4 took al place were the lucky boats, 4id often both men sat together during the watch; as they had done long years before, an talked softly in the exquisite' $hetlan night of all the good that had come t there. , For the companionship between thes two souls grew closer and fonder as thei drew nearer to the heavenly They were more and morT they walked the long watchesee horizoni gether, ain, and fought over their battles, and recalled the hours Which had been link after flak in that chain of truest tote which' had bound their hearts andllives to gether. And Margaret, still beautiful, with hair as white as snow, and a fape as faie and pink as a pale rose -leaf, sati smiling and listening, and knitting beside them ; no fears in any ot their hearts to beat away, no strife to heel, the past unsigh- ed for, the future sure, they made a pic- ture of old age, well won, " Serene and bright And lovely as a Shetland night.

THE HURON EXPOSITOR. up and the; path utterly destroyed land made inaccessible, and the siege wohe on through welaty months. At last a futlious general atthck was met by an inceesant fire of red-hot balls on the enemy's fleet —5,000 were thrown in one day --till at kngth thelbattering ships took fire, as owing to the thickness of their timbers, the red-hot balls sank deep into the wood and could hot be dislodged. The scene that ensued in -the darkness of that !ter- rible nightmust have been awful indeed ; and 80 fiqa.rful were the groans tend shrieks of the wounded and dying that brave Englishmen forbore to let their foes perish in the flames and ventured to their rescue, the marine brigade being foremost in this work of mercy, which added freslelaurels to their victory. It was said that in this engagement the Span- iards lost three thousand men, -while the garrison had only sixteen killed, and the damage that was done tit the fortress was repaired in a few hours. At few days later a formidable English fleet came to the relief of the town, the siege was raised,and Britain once more lef tip un- disputed pohsession of the stronghold which, in the days of Queen Anne, she, had acquired as a sort of luck penny, While fighting on behalf of the Arch -duke Charles, in whose name it had heen seized -by Sir. George Rooke, on July 24, 1704, who surprised it when garrisoned by only eighty men. Of course, our holding of Gibraltar is an arrangement about as pleasant for Spain as it would be to Erighind to see a French garrison in full pohsession of Dover castle, and fortifying impregnable gallieries in Shaketpeare's cliff, beneath the protect- ion of 'which all manner of smugglers might find safety, whereas any !rash revenue critter venturing within range would be fothwith fired at and probably wonder that Spain would rn this heaven -built bulwark of .—Belgravia. sunk. N fain reelai her shore Questions of Economy. Two old misers, one 70 and the other 80 years of age, fell into a dispute as to which was the rnore economical. "The proof,"aid the former, 't that you have no idea of saving is that dur- ing the half hour we have been arguing, a fly in your sugar bowl has been bay- ing a feast, and you have not taken the trouble to drive it away." "And the proof that I am far more saving than you, and that nothing escapes me," retorted his aged opponent, "is that .1 leave that insect' in my sugar - bowl on purpose. He acts as My spy. Whenever 1 come home and find that fly gone, I atri perfectly sure that the cook has been atealing'sugar." Hints. Whole cloves are now used to exter- minate moths.

"Shirt ;cuffs ?"-cried the entire com- pany. " Exautly ; shirt cuffs. I haw through it all tn a moment. Yon see, I am—or rather was, it great hand While at dinner or at the theatre in the evening, to think over my plans for the next day, and to make nierneranda on my cuffs to consult - before startiug down town in the morn- ing. My washerwoman had found this out, and had been quietly coppering ' my game by means of my cuff t for over a year." " Well, by Jove !" said Sam Ward, pausing for a single instant in the sacred mystery of salad dressing. "It's a cold fact," continued Keene. In. less than eight . niontlis she had cleaned up over $600,000, and was wash- ing my clothes—at least My cuffs—in an $80,000 house. She had diamonds and horses until you couldn't rest." "You . didn't make any more cuff mems. after that ?" laughed several. "Well, not many --just a few," said the great operator, holdiug his Bur- gundy up to the light. "1 believe I kept it up about a month longer, at the end of which time I had raked in the washerwoman's bank account, and even had a mortgage on the brown stone 'house. It was a queer coincidence, wasu't it? But perhaps the information she found on the Cuffs after that wasn't as exact as it had been, somehow, nor as reliable." And the "king of theetreet " emptied his glass with an indescribable wink that made Beach, who was short on Harlem, shiver like a cat who had just swallowed a live mouse.—San Francisco A Cape Breton Parson. Ile was a tall, angular parson of the old severe Presbyterian type. As the local idiom has it, "You would know by his English that he had the Gmlic." He was preaching in a brother poison's pul- pit to a congregation who sere strang- ers to him. Descanting on the lamb a type of gentleness, meekness, etc., le said : "The lamb is quaite and kind. T1 e lamb is not like the other beasts, the lion and the tiger and the Terolf. Y e will not be rennin' away from the lamb. No. The lamb is kaind ; the lamb will not eat ye, whatever.

Strength of Gibraltar. French and„Spanish troops 40,000 in number, for four long years, f4rom June, Itte, till February, 1783, bel agured the fortress of Gibraltar, then held oy tt n. ; Eliot, with a garrison of 71,000 inn. 'Fite enemy erected batteries right acres, the sandy isthmus, while in the hey they had forty-seven ships- of the line anti ten " battering ships," besides eountlese lesser craft. One night the rock narrowly escaped being taken by surprise. A goatherd having under taken to guide the Spaniards by a path theu unknown to the English, 500 troops followed them one dark night, and crept silently to a hollow called the Silletta or little chair, and thence to , the signal station, where they slew the guard. There they awaited reinforcements from below; these, however, were delayed and the garrison meanwhile were aroused, and, sallying forth, drove back the in- vaders. Silletta was immediately filled Peet. ' What he Had in for him. 4 ! The other day Judge Neckelson went a, fishing.

Jim Keene's Washerwoman. - "The fact is,'" said Jim Keene, the great New York rival of Jay, GOuld, as he relaxed his usual taciturnity tinder the genial influence of one of Sam Ward's dinners the other day, "the fact is that, no matter how clever_and thorough a man's system of stock operating May be, there is always occurring somedittle un- foreseen and apparently insignificant .circumstance that is forever knocking the best laid plans into a cocked hat." " Well, for instance, about a year ago I was doing a good deal in Lake Shore, and counted on making a good clan -up. I discovered, however, that there was some hidden influence in the market that was always against me. It •didn't ex- actly defeat my plans, but it lessened the profits. I soon eaw that there was some operator who was kept irriformed as to my movements in thee to Make me pay for his knowledge."• " Broker gave you way ?" said sev- eral. " Not at all. 1 never gave an order in advance, and besides, 1 used, as now,, - half a dozen brokers, and also -gave 'cross ' and dummy ' orders in penty. One date while I was standing by fhe window of my uptown place, cogitating over this state of affairs, an elegant private coupe drove past, and stopped just around the corner of my door. It contained a richly dressed lady and a ragged looking girl. Tire latter got out, rang my basement bell, and wae admit- ted. I sent for my man servant and en- quired who the girl might be." " She comes for the wash, sir," he said. " I )oes she generally come in a coupe ?" I inquired. " Why, no sir," said my man, very much surprised ; "her mother, the washerwoman, is very poor." "-Just then my own carriage drove around for me, and as it passed the other I could see the lady eagerly sorting the soiled clothes in the coupe in her lap. This excited my curiosity, so I had my driver follow along behind. Pretty soon the coupe stopped, and the dirty little witting that you are hot actually infal- lible. .

The points of superiority over the common variety are as follows : It grows longer and coarser straw and in regard to stiffness it is more like wheat straw than that of barley, consequently it stands up splendidly. It has a longer head, a larger grain, and will yield at the lowest calculation 10 bushels per acre more than the cornmon-varioty of barley, besides it is recommended by the brewers as being equal to the common barley for their purposes. A sample of the said barley will be left at J. Brownell's grocery store, Sea - forth, for inspection. All orders sent by mail can be addressed to Brucefield or to Seaforth P. O., which will receive prompt attention. R. & 0. Brock, Mill Road, Tuckersmith. 999 LAIDLAW 84 FAIRLEY, SEAFORTH. ".PRO BONO PUBLICO.
