"An' sae, ye see, Jamie has a great many ways o' makin' a livin'; he cooks oil out o' fish -livers, an' he thinks he'll mak' me atend stirring his papa- brod,* and 1 winna, for I canna bear the smoke. He'll lie roun' idle- an' let me wark for him whiles he wee all my daddies gear, an' clyp's me wi' his spuntle,a like he did when r steppit by mischance on his cat's tail. My ain daddie ne'er hit me a nevele: in's lifentie' I winna tak' it fro' Jamie McCillie." '" I wadna'" protested Noel; "but What wad ye do ?" " I canna tell, less I rin awa'." "An' whaur wad ye rin ?" I micht gang awe' to Glasgow an' see Mr. Murdoch ; he micht want a gillie to gae huntin' bugs an' planties route Glasgow wi' him." "Ay, he micht," said the sapient Noel. " Jamie wad ha' hitcl me fast the noise" said Quentin, "only long-nebbed Jean, that has been tendjn' daddie for weeks by -past, said she wadna gae oot o' the hook's till nicht's morn an' she ha.d gotten her duddies ready." " Weel, ye are a stout lad," said Noel; na doot ye can win till Glasgow. It's no like they wad miss ye till the morn's nicht; an' if ye set oot by flve - o' the clock an' walked most of the nicht, ye wad be far oot o' their way when inquirin' began." "1 could walk bravely," said Quen- tin; "it's licht nigh all Licht the noo. Will it be more than three days I am on the road?" "Gey" said Noel. "This is the third day I ha' walkit corniaii fro' Dor- noch, an' Dornoch is but a weeover sixty reales, whiles Glasgow is, by the road ye will tak", full twa•hunner an' fifty mile. Ye will be weeks on the road." At this Qaentin's countenance fell. '1f ye wad go to Dornoch an' wait for me, I wad tak' ye to Leith in the brig, an' ye wad ha' but about sixty mile to walk; ye could do that in three days.4 "1 couldn thole the sea," said Quentin, despairin ./" But I will walk,"'he cried, p esently. "The weather is fine; I ana rong. I will go my lane to t G-1 gow." ' Ay; it may be the best thing for yo , lad. Kill Eda isna a place for t. an as winna go in ships, an' Jamie °Cline is no fit to rear a hog, let alane : decant Christian laddie. Ye mann get o la quietly. Now,listen,QueAtin, ye maun ti up in a parcel yer Barka an' hosen,an' change o' coaties an' ye have it, also some oat cakea. An' hae ye ony money?" " A, wee," sod Quentin, "that my daddie gia me, an' a few sixpenCes fro' Mr. Murdoch." - " Weel, ye mann get all yei-- money an' yer claes an' what oat -scones -ye can a carry—" "An' my bulks, an' my -globe an' my orrery," said Quentin. "Save the mark !" cried Noel. "Din - n06 ye ken boo far ye are goin' ? Ye'll hae to do your best to carry yersel',1ad, yeriplaes. Wull ye be afeerd ? Ye seem rather a coward aboot the sea." " I'm no scared o' ony other thing," said Quentin. "1 dinna rin at spunkies; § I'm no fearin' ghoats nor mirk."11 "Ay," said Noel. " 'Fear God an' keep his commandments that is the whole duty o"mon.' Noo;lad, cheer yen, Eel'. Ye ha' cried here till ye are roupet as a corbie.(a) Coom awe' hame wi' me, and send lang-nebbed (B) Jean to see a braw fairing I ha' gotten for Annie Dee. Whiles she is gatin mak' up yer bundle o' sarka an' cakes an' hide it behint the hoose. Tak' then a lang sleep, wash yersel' an' eat a Wheen o' supper, then coom oot here by six o' the clock, an' I'll tell ye all I ken shoot yer way; an' I'll gm ye guid advisement, sin' ye are settin' oot in life. Sae keep up heart, an' dinna feel yersel' mair wanchancy (0) than ithers ; ilka nicht has its morn, an' the Lord is weel able to tak' tent o' his ajn ." with which ex- cellent observations Noel accompanied Quentin into Kill Eda. Quentin was in exceptional circum- stances; he had no relations nor guar- dians, no legal claint on any one or any- thing—not even on the small amount of houzehold gear which his adopted father had left him. There was neither minister nor magistrate within twenty miles of Kill Ede nor, indeed any lead- ing inhabitant whose word would have weight in regard to the destiny of the orphan. A human being who feared and hated the sea and did not expect to make a living from it was an anomaly in Kill Eda; "there was absolutely nothing for such an one to do. Quentin was right in thinking that his idiosyn- oracles in regard to salt water put him - out of the pale of the protection of those who would have found house room for • him- had he been expert with boats, lines and nets. The cabins were all overcrowded ; and when Jamie bdcGil- lie had proposed to go jnto Sandy's tidy house "an' mak' a hame for the lad an be a faither to him," no one stopped to consider that dirt, profanity mad -bru- tality would soon reign in Graham's late peaceful dwelling. Ally Dee, indeed, remonstrated that Janie might abuse the boy, but her husband and others said they would soon stop that; and as Ally, having scarcely got hertown family on their feet, was now rearing a race of chubby grandchildren, she had little thought to bestow on her nurseling, especially when he howed such uncanny dispositions toward the sea. The only safe road left open to Quentin for his future seemed the road to Glasgow. It was along road, but at its opening stood Noel with " advisementand good weed, and at its end surely would be Mr. Murdoch with a welcome and more advisement; and Quentin, fearing nothing but the Atlantic, took heart' of grace, and, having made up his bundles, slept, wept, washed and eaten, address- ed himself to his departure, and at the appointed time awaited Noel at the furze -bush. It seemed not inappro- priate that Noel, who, had had his share in giving Quentin his first start in life, should stand in a measure as sponsor to him in his second start, `A pot to try out the fish -oil. tPorridge-stick. eDlow. eWil1 Darkness. esalloarse as a o' wisp.

Sanctified scholarship is another royal courier, prepared to mount the swift steeds of modern civil- ization, and bear the divine tidings to every nation in its own language. When Christ gave his command, he ad- dreseed humble, unlettered men. Since then the gospel has found it's way into Caesar's houaehold, •Here are the princes of this world, the seers and sages, bowing at the cross. The Bible -has been translated into over three hun- dred languages and dialects. A Chris- tian literature. has been created, and may be reproduced ip any known Ian- , gimp of the earth. 1‘. Steam has been lharneased to the gospel chariot—nay, even lightning waits to do the church's bidding., What are' we waiting for? Twenty thousands of millions of dollars lie in the &Jere of the Protestant 'church membera of Great Britain and America; three thousand young men and women are knocking at the • doors of the church asking to be sent abroad; the whole world permits and invites missionary approach; there is every preparation for such universal move- ment and such rapid progress as no other century ever forecast. What is the church of Christ waiting fdi ?—Dr. A. T. Pierson. When the Train Comes In There are eager faces near, And a half -subdued cheer, • As around the curve the ars unsteady spit] While impatient feet await For the opening of the gate, At the station when the train bomes in, There is hand -shaking and kissing, And inquiries for the missing, And searching here and there for friends or kin; `There are sad and tearful sighs, And a waving of good-bys, At the station when the train comes in. Then from out the baggage car, Oh, 80 careful, lest to jar, Comes& long and narrow box ainid the din, As the mourners gather round, e There's a sobbing, wailing sound At the station when the train comes in. Thea the ringing of the bell, And the whistle, clearly tell, They are ready a new journey to begin, IFor it brooks not to be late, There are other hearts that wait At the station when thailtrain comae in. • ---Ilatelen F.

I saw, a lady in black step out of a.,havil son* mourning carriage in front of -StnThornis' Churcla, last Wed- nesday afternoon, and some one 'told me that it was Mrs. Moses ,Taylor, who, with Mrs: W. H. Vanderbilt, shares the honor I of being the richest widow in America. She is a member of the Presbyterian church, but is subject to no bigotries, and finds pleasure in -Occa- sional attendance upon Lenten serVicee in Episcopal Churches. Church -going is one of her favorite pursuits at all times, and down at Long Branch she has a private chapel and chaplain af her own, who ministers to her spiritual needs dur- ing her summer sojourn. ' This chapel cost her $70,000, is attended by quite a large Congregation of the local Presby teria.ns, and is the centre thnough which she distributes her many beautiful and lavish I charities. It was a great surprise to her upon leer husband's death to find herself so rich a woman, for he never &ZeC Mtfr:SM Qriginal and only reliable. ) Al$eware of poor imitations. THE 1-1111i01'01 EXPOSITOR. talked tOher about his business, and though she knew he was a wealthy man. she had formed no oalculation is to the amount he was worth; no one, indeed, not even Ms executors, had credited old Taylor with more than half a dozen•mil- lions at the most, and the surprise of the latter was great on the appointed day when they and the widow went to open the doors s of the particularly eolid vau It which the old man had built into the wall of his office. The innermost compartment was largo enough to hold certificates of atock and the like= securities without folding. There was a great stack of these papers lying neatly on top of each other, un- wrinkled and uncreased. They repre- sented Taylor's investments in railroads, banks, did insurance companies, deeds of real estate and every sort of hound financial venture. The widow did not comprehend the full meaniog of this great pile of documents, but the execu- tors looked at each other with pleased significance; and set about making an inventory, jotting down figures on the back of a card, and announcing in awed tones to the widow, when this pleasing task was done, that she was the sole possessor of a fortune amounting to $40,000,000. She bore it with that meek and gentle resignation of which even the worst of us would be capable under similar circumstances, and many unfortunates have since had reason to be grateful that this great sum fell into such discreet and charitable hands. Mrs. Vanderbilt is also a faithful church- goer, having pews in several different churches, one of her favorite places of worship being Old Trinity.—From the Brooklyn Eagle.

A correspondent of the Indiana Far- mer gives that paper the results of .his experience with 1the German millet; As to the product, in good soil, I can safely say it yielded 34 tons to the acre, which was equal to any of my clover hay for feeding, Some may think this la large yield, but I believe it is net - as large as Lahould put it, and think it is ot an over estimate. I am very particular to get the pure erman Millet seed for sowing, as in many places the common millet is sold for German which will not yield over half as much. I usually sow about one bushel of seed per acre, broadcast, and lightly har- row, or brush it in. For hay it should be cut when in bloom, and thoroughly • cured before stacking .or placing in the barn., This year, as the hay crop is very short, I have sowed about 15 acres, and as soon as my oats are cut, I will iow about 10 acres more. - I recommend all to sow millet, ifeenly • in a small way, and see what a , large amount of hay you Can grow on altmall piece of ground. . \ • - • —The late Major Mordecai, of North !Carolid,e, during, an audience with the -Czar of Russia, of a somewhat -informal - and conversational nature, had used the address Monsieur,' having carried ethe interview so far forward in Freirch.
