Spare 139, gentle ladles, We are very seta#l, Innocetltt tined helpless Whetyefore must We fall ? Lords of the creation Seek Qtir tender lives, That our wings and feather May adorn their wives. Say ye do not need them, Wiy, s and daughters fair 1, Trop ilex of our slaughter, Say we will not wear. Put not on your head -gear, Signs of pain and death ; Wear the buds and blossoms Signs of spring -tide breath. Do they fade too quickly ? Art will, from her loom, Yield a lasting semblance Of the sweetest bloom. Wear on hat and bonnet, Triumphs of her skill, Live's very precious. Song -birds donotkill. Sweet it is to warble; Sweet it is to fly ; Celseatsshort ourpleasures, i a as not to die. • Some of us have ueethngs, Food to find we roam. They rnust die of hunger If we go not home. Spare us, gentle ladies, Let us live and sing, Choristers of nature ; Heralds of the spring. JACQUES' WIFE. She had been alone for a week now, while the herders were off on the range, rounding up the horses for their yearly branding. To -night she looked for them home. There was a sound of bacon sizzling in the big frying -pan, brown jacketed potatoes peeped from their hiding place in the hot ashes, and Car- men left the door for.a moment to peep into the oven at the biscuit coloring delicately lc ately inside. Carmen cooked well, and the boys found her presence a wel- come one, freeing them from irksome stewing over the stove when they rode home tired and hungry. She glanced„ to ireptigh the window as she rose from her biscuit inspection, then hastily returned to her post in the doorway. Par off on the edge of the prairie a tiny moving cloud made its appearance, creeping snail -like toward her ; gradu- ally It rolled and swelled and came rushing over the intervening plain, tak- trig and ing shape 1 ounded puffs ever fall- fs ever fall - w ng. La caballada !" she murmured, in a satisfied tone. At last there came a thunder of quick hoof -beats. and then the excited herd dashed after their leader into the big corral. The heavy gates banged, the chain rattled over the staple. Five hun- gry men sprang from their saddles, and, hastily picketing their ponies, made a bee -line for the cookhouse. They gree tttt�ee 1 Carmen with bolster- ous joltty, ng themselves upon their benches, an without further ado, be- gan to devour the food set before them. " Hey ! this coffee is prime, my Car- men !" " Some white woman taught yer to make biscuits, gal !" " Say, Jake, you bet it's fine to get back to Carmen's cookie'!" vociferated one and another, as, the edge of their appetites dull- ed, they began to ply their knives more slowly. Carmen paid no attention to their rough compliments. She was standing behind her husband's chair, acting as waitress when occasion required, at other times fingering his sombrero or timidly touching his tousled curls. Each man was duly supplied with edibles ; but the crispest bacon and brownest bis - cult found their way to .Jake Ringer's plate, until finally he loked up and an- nounced : " I've had enough ! Now eat, yourself." The men rose from the table and scat- tered to their evening occupations ; only Jake remained, smoking in the door- way, while Carmen sat down to her meal of fragments. As the last slouching figure vanished toward the cabins, he turned to the woman Ith a slow smile, and asked, In Mexi ' Has It been lonely these days, cara mi ?" ' It Is always night In my heart when thou art gone, 0, my husband !" Then, still In the soft Mexlc tongue they talked together of such things as made up their life --of the range happen- ings, of the morrow's work, of what they could buy in Alamtto when the herds were driven in to be sold. Lastly, as Jake rose and knocked the ashes from his pipe, he remarked. in English : " To -morrow and Friday's the brand - in', but Saturday I'll make the boys get out a plough en fix us a flre-break. The grass is uncommon long Jest now,en it's dryin' fast. Ef we don't look out we'll have the whole camp goin' up in smoke." He strode through the starlit dusk toward his sleeping shack, and Carmen, shutting softly the door of the cook- house. followed slowly In the same di- rection. The air felt stifling and oppressive. A stiff breeze came out of the south, but its hot breath Oiled the frame with un- comfortable langour. Old Tom Griffin, standing in the door of the boys' shack, hallooed to Jake as he posed him• Car- men sllped by them and Into her own little shanty. "Look here, Jake." growled old Tom. in an undertone, "the boys Is snnnzin' a'ready, bute"T can't turn In ter thinkin' er that pesky long hossfeed out yander. With this here breeze a fire cud conte n-galopin'—what d'yer say ter you'n me ,goin' out now an' burrito' off a bit ? .Jest fer Hack 1" Pshaw, Tom ! 'taln't so awful dry yet, neither. Turn in, man. en quit botherin'. After the brandin's done "we'll up and plough a good breaktn'. I 'You bet I'm tired, en I alnt no mind ter go burnin' off this time o' night. , He turned on his heel and disappeared into the maler cabin. Old Tom shook hid had, "Them boys stint keerful enough," he Irltittered ; "seems to me them critters yander air oneasy." He .glanced once more toward the corral, *there an unusual stamping and paw- ing seemed to confirm his words ; once more he shook his head doubtfully ; then, atter a look around the horizon, -where no uncommon sign was manifest, be at last sought 1111; bunk, TIred tune soon drowned his fears In slee rive hours later a slim, red ton reached over the (rest of the knoll t bounded the ktori;.orlt of Star Camp the south. It writhed this way a that among the long gras stiems. A other and another followed, then a w of flame, reaching east and west as as the eye could follow, rose over t ridge, and bore -clown with race -ho speed, upon the devoted little settleme below, Jake lajpger stirred uneasily In sleep, and flung a protecting arm o the quiet figure beside him. A glare lurid light filled the little room w the brightnes of noonday ; but still th slept on. Outside in the corral hors were snorting and stamping, their w eyes staring at the distant, but swi coming danger. The animals picket on the prairie tugged at their sto ropes, rearing and screaming. Old Tom Griffin, waked by the risi clamor, sprang with a bound to t door. " Fire ! Fire !" he shoute " Quick, out of this or ye'11 smother 11 rats in a hole !" Four half-clad figures rushed out in the night, and Dick Elland beat on Ja Ringer's door, calling : " Up ! Up ! if value yer lives !" Roused from his heavy slumber. Ja stumbled across the floor ; tremblln Carmen followed close behind. One look at the on -coming dem brought Jake to his wandering sense " A back fire, quick, you idlots !" bawled and made a break for the coo house. Old Tom laid a powerful, restralnin hand on his shoulder. " Too late, my lad !" he shoute above the din of the frantic, penned -i herd. "That furnace ud reach us aro 'twas even started." Indeed, the fiery breath of the a vancing flames already scorched the faces. "We must trust to our good hors flesh!" spoke up Dick Elland, quick' A rush for the picketed ponies—In a instant more each man was riding fo his life. Jake Ringer was first In the saddle he curbed his frightened steed with on strong arm, and with the other swun Carmen's light form to a seat behin him. It was old Tom who stopped at th corral, snatched the chain from itshool and, flinging wide the gates, gave free dom to the poor, crazed creatures with in the walls. Fear lent wings to their feet—the rid den and the riderless together dashe eagerly toward the dark northern hori zon,where,miles atvay,lay safety in th cool waters of the Brazos. No one look ed back to see how with a leap and roar the -hungry flames pounced on th deserted buildings, and, in one shor moment licked up every trace of man' handiwork. On and on; mile after mil of dry prairie slipping back from their swift -beating hoofs, sped the fleeing, band. Anxious faces now and then turns to see if they kept their start fro their evil pursuer. It was Carmen cowering on old General's broad bac —Carmen, clinging with a clutch of de- spair to Jake's shoulders—who turns the oftenest. It "was Carmen who firs noticed that the short distance—no ter ribly hopelessly short—between them and the eddying flame -cloud was lessen- ing. She shrieked aloud in her terror, but Jake bade her sternly : " Take cour- age ! It's only two miles more to the river !" Only two miles—but the race was tell- ing. The work -weary and laden ponies were already distanced by the flying herd. Old General, with his double bur- den, still kept his place in the van, but Jake could feel he was weakening. Nearer and nearer swept the destroy- ing element. Slower and slower seemed to move the panting and straining horses. A mile—a half-mile—note but a quar- ter—to safety ? Could they make it ? The fire was pressing them closely ; the stinging smoke blinded men and horses; their skins parched and cracked In the awful heat. Inch `by inch did General lose his frontage ; in vain Jake plied the spur, in vain he swore and pleaded; the good old horse was spent. In one last, despairing glance back- ward Jake saw that the flames were up - them ; his brave beast stir staggered forward. but at that pace nothing could save them. Carmen's face was buried on his shoulder. • With parched lips the man muttered : " At least we die together !" A wild scream rang through the pall of grass smoke. Old Tom on the river bank heard it—" Adios, caro mlo, one alone may be saved !" The clinging arms relaxed ; relieved of the woman's weight, the horse slfl-ang forward. For a second her figure stood haloed. as her hair and light garments blazed upward ; then the swirling billows shut out the terrible picture. Jake Ringer covered his eyes and fell forward on General's neck. Ile did not know that his hair was singed and his clothes already smouldering as his horse plunged into the Brazos. He did not know that his comrades lifted him gently up the opposite bank as the fire swept to the water's edge and died into sudden darkness. But when he came hack to consciousness then he knew that Carmen had given her life for him.

A few weeks ago 'a COY afiliS§Ialt appointed by the Ontario Qavel'nnlepl; recommended that no lean whh hag served in the Legislature be eligible for a salaried office under the Pr'ovineiel Government until the lapse of acertatin number of years after the close of his legiu;h tive career., This recommendation was"in the public interest. The Mowatt Govern- ment has Made of the boat patronage at its disposal rewards for eu ort given it by followers in the House— support which would not have been given in some cases but for the hope of the reward to come later. But in spite of this recommendation, the Govern- ment has just taken Mr. W. B. Wood, of North Brant., front the county to which he was elected in June last and appointed him to a vacant registry office. In doing this the Government has ignored the report of its own com- mission, defied public opinion, and put a constituency to the expense and annoyance of choosing another repre- sentative. North Brant should resent this treat- ment meted out to it ; it should punish the viola i rem of sound principles in making fat ofiicts the price of subser- viency to the ¢fiui.tt•y in the Legisla- ture, and the only wety in which this can he done is by electing an opponent of the Government, A Word to Correspondents.
