Hese brothers kept hor aefo; IP* harm,
'mise httrrn of cattle on the still ;
Fxouithiek•a oked tulle,lou i bellowing
Tho livelong morning' loud and shrill,
41 la1bipq vibe like 447thing';
From rogripg bulla that towed the. nand
And pawed the lilies from the land:
There came a third young man. 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.

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,

screamed and chattered, then seized
a kerosene lamp to hurl' back in Lha
audience. 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.

Big Lake, near Osceola, Aik.,
usually forty miles long and eleven
wide, has shrunk in consequence of
a draught, to dimensions of less than
two miles, and the water sago sled -

fish, which are very numerous, by

Dr. Gross, of Geneva, has lately
experimented with himself in halve

.that the sensations were •only war-

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-

Did you ever study the cheap
ness of some pleasures? Do •you
know how little it takes to make a
multitude happy? Such trifles as
a penny, a word, or a smile do the
work. You employ a roan—pay
him cheerfully, and speak a pleas-
ant word . to him, and he leaves
your house with n, contented heart,
to light up his own hearth with
smiles of gladness. As you pass
along the' [greet you meet a familiar"
