Hs came From far acrd famous Boston town. He was not handsowe, was not game, Bat he could "cooly a goose" as browu As any man that set foot on The sunlit shores of Oregon. This Boston man he taught the school, Taught gentleness and love alway ; Said love sod kindness, as a rule, Would ultimately make it pay. He was ao gentle, kind, that he Could make a noun and verb agree. Bc$ So when one day the brother, grew Alt jealous and did strip to tight, v Ho gently stood between the two And meekly told thea 'twas not right, "I have a higher. better plan," Outspoke this gentle Boston man. " My plan is this : Forget this fray About that lily hand of here ; Gee teke your guns, and hunt all day High up yon lofty hill of firs, And while you hunt, my loving doves, Why, I will learn which oue she lovas." The brothers eat the windy hill, Their hair shone yellow,like spun gold, Their rifles crossed their laps, but still They sat and sighed and shook with cold. . Their hearts lay •bleeclipg far below ; Above then gleamed white peaks of anew. Their hounds lay oouohiug,sllm and neat; A spotted eirole in the grass.. Their valley lay beneath their feet ; They heard the wide -winged eagles Plies ; The eagle cleft the clouds above. Yet what could they but sigh and love 2 "If I could die," the elder sighed, " My dear young brother here might wed." " Oh, would to heaven I had died !" The younger sighed with bending head. Then each looked each full in the face And each sprang up and stood in place. "If I could die," the elder sighed, " Die by your hand, the world would say 'Twee accident ; and for her sake, Dear brother, be it so, 1 pray,." Not that 1" the younger nobly said ; Then tossed his gun anti turned his head.. And fifty paces back he paced, And as he paoed he drew the ball ; Then 'sadden stopped and wheeled and faced His brother to the death and fall. Two shote ran wild upon the air, ' But, lo, the two stood harmless there. The eagle poised high In the air ; Far, far below the bellowing Of bullocks ceased, and everywhere Vast silence sat all questioning. The spotted hounds ran circling round, Their red, wet noses to the ground. , And now each brother came to know That each had drawn the deadly ball ; And for that fair girl far below; Had sought in vain to silence fall. And then the two did glaldy shake, And thus the elder bravely spake: "Now let us run right hastily And tell the kind schoolmaster all ; Yea,yea, and if she choose not me, But all on you her favors fall, This valiant Beene, till all life ends, Dear brother, binds us best of friends." The hounds aped down, a spotted lino, The balls, in tall, abundant grass, Shook back their horns from bloom and . vine And trumpeted to see them pass ; They were so fair, they loved so true, These brothers scarce knew what to do. They sought the kind schoolmaster out As swift as sweeps the light of morn ; They could but love,they could not doubt This man so gentle, in a horn. They cried: "Now, whose the lily hand, That lady's of this webfoot land !" They bowed before that big•nosed man, That long•nosed man from Boston town; They talked as only lovers can. They talked, but be could only frown ; And still they talked,and still they plead; It was as pleading with,tbe dead. At last this Boston tnan did speak : " Her father has a thousand ceowa, An hundred bull+, all fat and sleek ; He also had'thie ample boouee." The brothers' eyes atuok out thereat So far you might have hung your hat. "I liked the looks of this big heouse— My lovely boys won't you come in ? Her father has a thousand ceows. He alio has a heap of tin. The gnirl 1 011 yes, tho gnirl, you see, The gnirl, jest now she marqed.me."

Although an 4utstrallau by virtue of residence, Beach urea born in ldtirray, England, is 1851, and removed with bis parents to New South Wales in 1854. He.. was brought up to his father's trade, and while toiling like a young Vulcan in the smithy, un- consciuualy developed that magnifi- cent . nbyelque which hats since brought him wide -world distinction. Whoa about twantythree years of ago, Beach commenced rowing ou Illawarra Cakes against Local cora- l/Wore, and from the outset kept winning until gradually handicapped out of all races. Following are hisobief aquatic performances while in Aus- tralia. December, 1880 -,Won Deebie's handicap, Woolloomooloo Bay. January, 1881- Second National Regretta, won by D. McDonald.

Mat- terson November 26, 1887 -Beat E. Hau- lm, championship world. Mr Beach's system of training in- cludes a run of two or three miles be- fore breakfast, a walk of six or seven miles afterwards, and a pull over the course. After dinner comes another two-mile walk and a second pull over the course, during which .,he rows himself right out, eases off, and then pulls again. A long walk concludes the day. A man under such physical strain, even though he be a giant, must often feel the failure of hie strength to his will, and powerful though he be, it is not surprising that Mr Beach can- didly states that during his training, previous to meeting Edward Hanlan the second time for the world's championship, bis trainer bought for him Warner's safe cure and he says: "I was agreeably astonished at the great benefit which followed its use." While in training hefinds this the best possible aid to a command of all his natural powers, because it does not first goad and afterward weaken the system,but acts in perfect harmony with nature's laws. Mr Beach's experience is confirm- ed by the experience of many thous- ands of athletes all over the world. Under the great physical strain they break down and die prematurely, be, cause they have not been able to keep disease away•from their kidneys and liver, whence most diseases originate. Ur Beach recognizes this necessity, and has sagacity enough to use the only scientific specific for that pur- pose. He has not only the prestige of victory, but the prestige of a true scientific method of training and keeping up his wonderful physical condition. If he did not voluntarily give up the championship, it would no doubt be a long time before it was wrested fi'bm him. "DOUBTING THOMASES," remarked an eminent divine, "must exist in ratio to the too credulous." '!be habit of cautiousness is not, as a general thing, inborn, but is the re- sult of a naturally generous and con- fiding nature repeatedly victimized by the cunning and crafty. So the many dissappointments, and often injurious effects, arising from the use of various vaunted remedies, have induced an undue cautiousness, and, in many cases, entire abandonment of the use of any. We call attention to the remedies of Dr R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, which physicians are em- ployed in their practice with the most beneficial results. His "Gold- en Medical Discovery," for disease of the lungs and kidneys', heart affec- tions, fever and ague, dropsy, and all diseases of the blood, bas never failed when put to the test. A COSTLY OUTFIT. SOMETHING ABOUT A FIRST•CLASS CRACKSMAN'S KIT OF TOOLS A kit of burglar's tools, say a full outfit for conducting safe blowing and breaking operations on a first class scale, will cost from several hun- dred to several thousand dollars. Of course the latter are•made of the fin. est steel and embrace every tool in burglar's art. There are numerous "jimmies" of assorted sizes, and of course that handy implement, a joint- ed "jiminie." Then there is a full assortment of steel wedges, which range from the thickness of a sheet of paper up to an inch, There wedges frequently play an important part in breaking open a safe. The burglar will first insert the edge of one of the thinnest size in the nay• row .crack ofthe safe, and will then keep on inserting larger size', until, singular as • it fnay seem, 11` he,. wiae. cumulate sufficient farce 'tovry over the deer an! ieeve.a good-sized orf•', deee.

Happily it fell abort, or some persons might have been burned to death. It struck near the foot- lights, and in a moment the stage was alllaze, while performers and spectators struggled frantically to get out. All of them did so, it le believed though that ie not certain, for this is a mining town, and there are acorea of strangers in from the lumber Camps. From the moment the mon- key threw the lamp the fire had its own way, except for the heavy load of snow ou the root, and this had no preceptible effect. The flames swept down .,the street, almost at once en- veloping the frame block of which the theatre was a part, and then in turn burning thirty-six buildings, stores and residences. From the first the people seemed panic stricken. Women swarmed into • the streets, whether their homes were in danger or not, and ran about as if mad, wringing their hands and crying out that the town was doomed. Many men were hardly less sensible, and to all the usual horrors of a fire in a closely built town of wood were soon added those of pillage lir drunken toughs, who had gorged themselves on stolen liquor, and then went about stealing what they liked from the stores, only to destroy it in the streets or else to throw it in the flames. In this way several explosions were caused, roughs throwing .dynamite, with fuse andcap attached, into burning houses and stores. Hun- dreds of shots were fired by the roughs to intimidate merchants who were endeayoring to save some:of their stock. They went into a number of stores in a body, and while some of them would cover the inmates with revolvers ; others would be robbing the store of the most Valuable goods. The whiskey secured from the large number of saloons in the block made the men perfect demons, and people who have properly stood by aghast. They were powerless,and made no ef- fort to interfere with what was going ou. All this occured at night, the darkness adding its horrors and mak- ing depredations by the lawless more possible. In -the morning Wakefield looked on the ruins of nearly forty buildings—more than remained in the town. Something like order had been restored, but there are few mer- chants who can rebuild or repair or stock their half burned buildings. The loss will reach nearly $100,000, with not 'over $10,000 of insurance. Ladles Only. The complexion is often rer.dered un- sightly by Pimples, Liver Spots and Yel- owness.

Of course bis experiments didn't go very far. On Thursday evening last one of Chatham's retired statesmen, a g.'eat practical joker, called on sev- eral friends, including the manager of the Bank of Montreal, and glee- fully informed then[ that his wife had a new baby. As there had not been any addition to his family for several years, the congratulations of his friends were hearty, and in some cases moist. That afternoon several of his wife's lady friends called on bee and were rather astonished at her robustness when she greeted theca in the pallor with the baby in her arms.. She had taken it from a sick friend for a few days.—Chat- ham, N.B., World. Did you ever study the cheap ness of some pleasures? Do •you know how little it takes to make a multitude happy?
