JOHN FMACPHEE & CO,

ROBERT ORR’S OLD STAND,

and week after week, in vigorous occu- pations, brightened by social intercourse, /and in some degree by the beauty and the | friendship of the animals. Of all this in- dustry we can only afford a brief summary. ' Hazel fixed two uprights at each side of the|

eavern’s mouth, and connected each pair by | a beain; a netting laid on these, and cover-! ed with gigantic leaves from the prostrate! : palms, made a sufficient roof in this shelter- | led spot. On this terrace they could sit} | even in the rain, and view the sea. Helen! | cooked in the cave, but served dinner up} | on this beautiful terrace. So now she had) es But and a Ben, as the Scotch say. He| got a hogshead of oil from the sea-lion, and ‘so the cave was always lighted now, and | that was a great comfort, and gave them more hours of in-door employment and con- versation. The poor bugbear really bright- ened their existence. Of the same oil, boiled down, and mixed with wood ashes, he made soap, to Helen’s great delight. The hide of this animal was so thick he could do nothing with it but cut off pieces to make soles of shoes if required. But the seals were miscellaneous treasures; he contrived with guano and aromatics to curry their skins; of their bladders he made vile parchment, and of their entrails, gut, catgut, and twine, beyond compare. He salted two cubs, and laid the rest up in atare, by inclosing large pieces of clay. When these were to be used, the clay was just put into hot embers for some hours, then broken, and the meat eaten with all its juices preserved.

Helen cooked, and washed, and manu- factured salt, and collected quite a store of | wild cotton, though it grew very sparingly, and it cost her hours to find a few pods. But in hunting for it she found other things—health for one. After sunset she was generally employed a couple of hours on matters which occupy the fair in every situation of life. She made herself a seal- skin jacket and a pork-pie hat. She made Mr. Hazel a man’s cap of seal-skin with a point. But her great work was with the cotton, which will be described hereafter.

However, for two hours after sunset, no more (they rose at peep of day), her physi- cian allowed her to sit and work; which she did, and often smiled, while he sat by and discoursed to her of all the things he had read, and surprised himself by the strength and activity of his memory. He attributed it partly to the air of the island. Nor were his fingers idle even at night. He had tools to sharpen for the morrow, glass to make and polish out a Jaminated crystal he had found, And then the hurricane had blown away, among many properties, bis map; so he had to make another with simi lar materials. He completed the map in due course, and gave it te Helen. It was open to the same strictures she had passed on the other. Hazel was no chartographer. Yet this time she had nothing but praise for it. How was that ?

Relieved of other immediate cares, Hazel’s mind had time to dwell upon the problem Helen had set him; and one fine day a conviction struck him that he had taken a narrow and puerile view of it, and that, after all, there must be in the nature

distance. Possessed with this thought, he went to Telegraph Point, abstracted his mind from the external objects, and fixed it on this idea—but came down as he went.

zig-zag for Helen’s use, and as he put his foot on the fifth step, whoo—whir—whiz— came nine ducks, cooling his head, they whizzed so close, and made right for the lagoons.

‘Hum!’ thought Hazel; ‘I never ses you

barking a tree to mark it. He was about to leaye the place, when he heard a splash- ing not far from him, and there was a duck jumping about on the water in a strange way. Hazel thought a snake had got hold

e

of her; ‘and ran to her assistance. He

took her out of the water and seon found what was the matter; her bill was open, and a fish’s tail was sticking owt. Hazel inserted his finger and dragged ont a small fish which had erected the spines on his back 80 opportunely as nearly to kill its destroy- er. The duck recovered enough to quack in a feeble and dubious manner. Haze] kept her for Helen becanse she was a plain, brown duck. With some little reluctance heslightly shortened one wing, and stowed his captive in the hold his boat. He happened to have a great, stock of pitch in the boat, so he employed a few hours in writing upon the guano rocks, On one he wrote in huge le‘ters:— AN ENGLISH LADY WRECKED HERE. HASTE TO HER RESCUE, On another he wrote in small letters:— BEWARE OF THE REEFS ON THE NORTH SIDE. LIE OFF FOR SIGNALS. Then he came home and beached the boat, and brought Helen his captive. ‘Why itisan English duck! she cried, aud was enraptured. (To be continued.)

The historian of the New Orleans Times- Democrat expedition tothe Everglades of Florida writes :—“We are not afraid of suakes ; we deny with scorn such a charge. On the contrary, it is really a pleasant sen- sation to feel on a hot night a cool, smooth, slick body gliding noiselessly over our bare feet, or hear a musical and gentle hiss as we put our hand out from under our mos- quito bar to feel around for our pipe and touch something that is not our pipe. Such little incidents enliven us as well as everybody else, and considerably assist us in making life bearable. Still, we prefer sleeping in our canoes. We are disturbed a little during the nicht by the bellowing of alligators, and occasionally by one swim- ming back and forth under our boat.”

The manner in which the Bostonians ap- pland is thus described by the Jcurnal :— The correct method, as now employed, is to prepare for this outburst of appreciation before the end of the air that aroused it is reached. The hands are slowly raised at about the middle of the final effort, and the right hand is held suspended. over the left, even as the amaternal slipper is. held for a moment, hovering over the person of the offending boy; the month slowly opens, the hands are stretched wider apart until the person atfeched thereto looks like a hand- organ grinder’s monkey begying for pennies; and asthe last wote is taken the hands clash together with mighty force and the shout of *‘Brayvo !” rend@s the air.

An interesting discovery ef pre-historic dwellings has been laid bare in Arizona, UU. & Mr. James Stevenson, of the Geological Survey, has reported the dis- coveries of several more ruined caves and cliff cities, differing in some points from any before examined. The most remarkable was a Village of sixty-five underground dwellings, near the summit of one of the volcanic foot-hills in the San Juan regions of Arizona

The other day a popular clergymen, in a sermon, called the theatre the *‘ Devil’s | Playhouse,” and declared in the same dis- course that the ‘‘wicked should not pros- per.” Peck's Sun wants him to explain why Mary Anderson is raking in $83,000 a
