And took up my broken min.
But when to the light I brought them,

Pondered on the hear* that thoughkthein
Pondered on the hand, that traced,
Such a. tenderness came o'er me
(ot that pleases, nor that grieves)
As the peat rose up before me
From those hayed and faded leq.ves.
And I dreamed, the old dreams over
(Dreamed them though niy hair is white!)
That were mine when my young lover
In hie paiisiOned way weuln writ '

These, then, surely ought toperleh
For they 011 a goodly apace-,
There ip something I might cherish '
Better worthy of the place,
So I snapped the cord asunder
That had bound them in a sheaf.
AndI saw with llttle wonder
Dusky'epots on every teat
- For they were my oldest letters
From ray first my childhood's friend;
Some were even worn in tatters, .
;Some, I•know, with tears were stained.
As 1 turnedthe musty pages,
Reading snatches thure and here,
These old letters seemed the stages
We had passed from year to year
Now in joy, and then in sorrow,
Treasures found and snatched away;
Hoping stills glad to -morrow
To succeed the bad to•day. •
Tokens, too, of friendships later
Long I scanned and lingered o'er,
And their import grew the greater
Ae I conned them more and more. ,
Strange, this page with mirth o'erflowing
Neer before seemed bait eo good!
Strange, these lines with pathos glowing
Only half were understoodi
Strange 1 I thoughtrae, as 1 reokonad
All the dear ones passed away,
That their spirits to me beckoned
I a' mid let the letters stay.
Thenithe ohildren's letters, scribbled
With no thought ot care or grace ;
Some with ink -drops soiled and dabbled'
When from home a little space;
But so full of guth and chatter,
Of the sights so strange and new,
Yet so 1 uI of earnest matter, •
And of love for Mother, too.
One I've read and-Fead so often
I could every word repeat.
Strange how this old heart will soften
Paring o'er that blotted sheet l
'Twits the first he wrote to mother -
'Twee the only one he penned;
"Love to sisters from tneir brother,"
Crossed with kisses at the end.
Ah, my boy I no hand of mortal •

In the olden nook they'll stay;
Some time when my heart is stronger

The Hudson- -Say Committee • met
at Ottawa yesterday inorning, with
Mr. Royal in the chair. • Mr. Wm.
Smith, 'Deputy Minister -of Menne,
was examined.. Be stated hat. he had
secured from the Hudson Bay Company the
log -books of their vessels running to Hud-
son -Bay during the past thirteen years.
The vessels were sailing vessel& One Of
them OA 42 days to reach York Victory
from Stromness. Another 88 days, and
one on the 22nd July met With many ice. -
bergs and thiek -fogs in the Straits.: The
Ocean Nymph was on one occasion 14 days
workirig her way through the Straits. In
1870, 1875, and 1893, the vessel.was 17, 22
and 32 days respeotively working through
the Straits. In 1872,1873, 1874,1876,1877,
1878, 1879, and 1881 the Straits were passed
without detention. The opinion of Capt.
MoIthenny was as follows on the subject of
navigating Bodeen Bay "1 am of opinion
that 'steamers fitted for the work cen make
the passage with •very little difficulty as.
earlyas August let, entering_after,the_let,
keeping along the north shore and avoiding
the pack ice. Three months' navigation is
all that 'can be depended upon, extended
from 1st August to 1st November."

Ten Million Car Wheels. '

said the master-theohabic of one of the
trunk lines, "and it requires about 525
pounds .of _pig iron to make one wheel.
About 1,25b,000 wheels are wore out every
year, and the same number of new CMOS
must be Made totake their places. The
iron men are called upoen for only a small
-proportion of the 312,500 -tone of material
required for theee new wheels, however,
for nearly 290,000 tons are 'supplied by the

the life of a oar wheel was eatimated
at eight years, but the reduction of the
"railroads generally to the standard
gauge, and the improvements in loading
and unloading facilities, have materially
deoreaeed the length of service theta wheel
may be depended on to perform. The Mai;
fortuity in geuge.keeps oars in more oon-
tinuous uee, while the decrease in time of
loading and unloeditg enables them to be

coaches. The wheels on that grade of
