THE MINER. “ Am I My Brother’s Keeper ? ” The following verses by Mr. R. W. Hume we find in the Peterson Labor Standard. Their author says the problem presented to the present age is not to provide ways and means by which sehemers can live on the labor of others while themselves lead- ing a life of useleseness. but to improve the condition of the useful workers who con- tribute their labor to the requirements of modern civilization: Deep beneath the firm-set earth Where volcanoes have their birth, Where, engraved on leaves of stone, Are pictured ages past and gone, Far from God's own blessed light, There the miner toils in night i Tenant of the depths below, Working with his pick and crow. Not for him the painted mead, Sacrificed to serve man’s need. Not for him the sweet perfume 0f flowers in their spring-tide bloom ; From life's early morn a slave, Earth’s to him a living grave. First, a father tending well, Next, a youthful sentinel; Careful, watching day by day, Close to keep his guarded way Whenhis lamp, with fltful blaze, Tells of “ ch die-damp " in the ways! 01', when flickering, it proclaims Gas is oozing from the veins, To be diligent on guard, And with care keep watch and wardl Tracer next, a human soul Harnessed to a car of coal; Lost, a. miner bold and brave, Kin to Christ, but Mammon’s slave! Look upon him as he stands, Picking coal with grimy hands. Think, in all this world of strife, Not for him the joys of life; Yet his labors. stern and dire, Furnish us with needed fire! Is it not for us, in turn, All his wants and woes to learn ? Is it not our duty true, His hard path with flowers to strew ‘2 With a. shrug or with a sigh Let the Phariseo reply; " Ignorant, and low and mean, Man or beast, or step between, 80 he does his duty true, What’s his lot to me or you ? He was to the manner born. Let him to his task return l ” Man, beware the murd‘rer’s sin, Have you your duty done by him ‘2 He for us has wrought his best, Let him in his turn be blest. Soverigns crowned with right to rule, Free from despotism's school, Here we know no great, no small, “All for each, and each for all ! ” Not forgotten in our plan Any one who works tor maul Therefore, markl In such as he Lies our nation‘s destiny; And, as such our cares engage, We solve the problem of the age. And, on basis firm and grand, Plant the future of our land. Why should I hug life’s ills with cold reserve, To curse myself and all who lova me ? Nay! A thousand times more good than I deserve God gives me every day. And in each one of these rebellious tears, Kept bravely back, he makes a rainbow shine; Grateful I take his slightest gift; no fears Nor any doubts are mine. Then, vex me not with chiding. Let me be. I must be glad and grateful to the end. I udge you not your cold and darknessâ€"me he powers of light befriend. Spitting tor Ln ch. I heard of a. nurse the other day. a.

H, x. 52), and was thought particularly efliesoious against the venom of poisonous animals. Pliny quotes some authorities to prove that the pernici- ous power of toads and frogs may be dis- armed by this means, and serpents rendered innoxious by spitting finto their mouths (N. HY, xxviii. 4.) The testimony of Vsrro‘ is also cited to show that there were people in the Hellespont. near Pesium, who could cure the bite of snakes by their saliva. (vii; 2).

CONTENTMENT‘ The Mystery 01 the Veiled Picture. “There is such a dear little house near the Hungerfords that I have half thought of taking,” remarked Robert. “ It is old- tashioned, and stands rather back from the street, with a. garden in front and behind, and some nice fruit-trees. It always , reminds me of the houses here. That is why I liked it first, and now I find it ‘ will be let at midsummer. But I should feel so lonely in it by myself.” “When you are so near the Hunger- iords ?” “ I can’t be with them always. A husband and wife like to be alone sometimes, and Isabel and John are devoted to each other." “ I suppose so.” " It is 80 nice to see them together.” “Of course.” “It is quite a pretty Bight to see them going ofi to church with the children.” “ Have they a. nice church, Robert ‘2” “ There is a. very nice church close to the house I was speaking of. Of course I go to it, but I don’t feel happy. A man looks so stupid in a pew all by himself." ,:1 “ You should ask some one in,” said Louisa, archly. “ May I ask you, Louisa ‘2” “ Oh yes! And I W111 come too, when I am staying with Isabel,” she said, de- murgly; “ I suppose you are talking about the two weddings as usual?” said Charles Marmbel, lounging up to them, The new curate was big and heavy-looking. His voice was eonorous, end his manners didactic and patronizing. “ For my part] I am getting hired of the subject." he said. “I don’t care much for weddings, unless I have a. personal interest in the contracting par- ties.” “But we all had a: personal interest in uhe Du Lyses,” said Louisa. “ I alluded to a very personal interestâ€" to filling the chief place,” returned Charles. looking at her in a way which Robert thought impertinent.

You are not like Mr. Boatock. We always had to listen to him, for he always said something terrifying, and we had to tell him of it.” Mutable turned away in high dudgeon. He was disgusted at Louisa’s frivolity, and he sought a more respectful sympathy among his elders. He walked amass the room, and Joined himself to the little group of which old Mrs. Belamour was, as usual, the centre. ‘V‘Ifiéfiédys said Mr. Fremaine and Meli- oent Du Lys would make a. match of it,” the old lady was just saying. “ Every one could see with half an eye that he admired her." “ But I fancied. Mrs. Belamour, that you used to think Mr. Framaine would marry that odious Mrs. Gardner.” remarked Mrs. Mathieu, aomewhgt malipiously. “ Never, my dear Mrs. Mahhieu,“ re- turned Mrs. Belamour, loftily. “ What I said â€"â€"if people had listenedâ€"~was, that Mrs. Gardner intended to marry Mr. Fremame if she could. But; he was notrto be caught." " I should have liked Melioent to marry a younger man," observed Mrs. Phillote. “ Some one like poor Sir Oliver Clintonâ€" only he is dead, and he was married already.” on 1 . “ Mrs. Fremmine is much more fitted to grace Delysmere than to be 21 young man’s slave,” said Mrs. Matthieu. “ Mr. Fremnine adores her, and she will be as happy as a queen." ‘ ‘Peaoe -â€"Whioh it is to behoped may be eter: rialâ€"appears at length to have been estab- lished between the Du Lyses and the Fre- maines,” said Mr. Marrsble. “ The Capu- lets and the Montsgues are no longer at strife. A better ending to the long discord could scarcely have been anticipated, or even desired. Mrs. Fremeine will be the sweet mistress of Delysmere all the days of her life,and then the whole property will naturally transfer itself once more to the Du Lyses." “ Don’t be too sure," said Mr. Philland. “ Mr. Fremaina may have a. son. I keep my opinions to myself, but I have an idea. that that is what he counts on.” ” Well, you are a. lawyer, and you ought to know," said Mrs. Belamour. “But I hope not. I would rather Rene Du Lys had a son to inherh the whole property.” “ I agree with you, Mrs. Belumour,” said Mr. Marmble. “ It would rejoice my heart. iiâ€"before I close my eyes in deathâ€"I could see a. justifiable prospect of a. restoration of the Du Lyssa to wealth and prosperity.” “ 1116 children ought to marry each ouher,” suggested Mrs. Phillote. “ That would settle the affair comfortably, and my yusband says cousins may marry.” “But this would he a. case of an aunt and a. nephew,” remonstrated Mrs. Ma.- thieu. “ An unheard-of event! You forget that; Mrs. Fremaiue’s daughter will be Mrs. Du_Lys’s Higher _I” “Would it be legal, my dear 7" inquired Mrs. Philland. But Mr. I’hilland dxd not reply. He had just stepped out of the group to speak to Mrs. Mal-lay. “ My dear boy, kindly bear in mind that you are speaking of the marriage of our beloved Miss Du Lye,” said his uncle, in mild reproof. “My. husband often says people marl;y,’_’ a&i_d Mr§._1_3hillot_§_. “And quite right, too I” said Mr. Phil- land,resumiug his seat. “The good old twins marriedâ€"eh, Mrs. Phillote ?â€"â€"a.nd here we we in consequence.

Lawyers and doc- tors are permitted to hazard conjectures on the events of life. You must not be hard upon us, my dear Charles. We had to lace ourselves up pretty tight, I can tell you, during Mr. Bostook’s reign; so you must excuse us if we have a little fling now. Poor Bostookl One day he told me he had never met with such unscientific people as the Delyefordiene. ‘ My good sir,’1replied, ‘you have paid us the highest possible compliment!’ But science was second nature to him. I have understood since that some of his relations were acquainted with Darwin.” “ I don't know anything about science,” announced the new curate. “But I do know the word of God.” “ Well, anyhow, I hope they will all be happy,” said Mrs. Phillote. irrelevantly, but with with motherly tenderness towards the newly-married. “ Oh, there’s no doubt of that,” said Mrs. Belemonr, cheerfully. ” Rene Du Lye and Miss Fremeine made no secret of their affection, and never was a. Du Lye yet who did not make a. good husband. And as to Mrs. Fremeineâ€"well, in my opinion, ehe has been attached to Mr. Fremaino all along.

We are perpetu- ally together. even now, but we are not sufficiently together. It pains me that you should turn out of a warm room at nightâ€" I may say, on every nightâ€"and I have been reflecting that, if we cemented a closer alliance, all our arrangments would be pleasantcr. Yet, notwithstanding my wish to arrive at a state of things which it seems to me would be so desirable and so charming, I have hitherto feared that some of our domestic details might not readily combine. My digestion, you are aware, compels me to dine late; your excellent health permits you to take your chief meal at mid-day, and you prefer to drink tea and to sup. For a protracted period our differing habits upon this essential have seemed to me to combat the possibility of a nearer and a dearer tie existing between us. But, as I commenced by say- ing. the remembrance of the wed- dings that have taken place, and the thought of the wedding that is pro- bly to be, have rejuvenated me, and, while my desire for your constant companionship has strengthened, my boldness to overcome difficulties has not decreased. My temerity has furnished me with an expedient, from the proposal of which I have shrunk until now, but to the mention of which I entreat you to lend a not too reluctant ear. I have reflected thatâ€"1f you could permit your tsa-equipsge to rest upon my dinner-table â€"if you could support the idea of partak- ing of tea while I am diningâ€"it has occur- red to me that, if you were able to see the possibility of entering into my scheme, I andJor my part, _I have observed. , , LE._-1" might even (19mm make you a. formal offer of marriage.” The old lady was greatly agitated. “ I do not esteem the question of tea or dinner to be of vital importance," she said, tremuloualy.

If the line of life is of a. ruddy color, long and unbroken, extenz‘iiug nearly or quite down to the wrist line, it foretells good health and long life ; if it be broken at any yoint it denotes severe sickness ; if short, early death ; it éoubla, it shows remarkable strength and vitality. The lines encircling the wrist number the years of life,§one line marking thirty yeers. L . . A. Mm“ M "m u; may, vuv not. w.._____ If a. character like the sun occurs on the life line, it denotes loss of an eye or blind- ness; and each arose or knot means some misfortune or difficulty, great or small, according to the size of the mark. The little line; are the lesser care-send troubled. Wavy lines in the ends of the fingers or elsewhere foretell death by drowning. A crescent-shaped mark below the little ‘ finger and below the line of the heart denotes insanity. A welLdefined short line joining the his line indicates marriage. It no such line appears, the person will remain single, unless there be a. short line or lines on the side of the hand below the little finger, as these also denote the number of times married. The lines extending down between the third or ring finger and the little finger to the line of the heart, number the loves of a lifetime. If but a single line is visible, and that is deep and clear. the person will love faithfully and warmly. A long and well-defined line of the head promises intellectual power, but it may be too long ; as, if it extends quite to the edge of the hand it indicates too much oalcuetion, craft, meanness. It should end under the third finger or there- ebouts. If itis forked or double toward ‘ the end it denotes deception and double- dealing, though, in a. hand otherwise good, it may mean extreme reticenee or shyness. W Jen this line is very short and faint it shows etupidity,_fooiishness. 1 7. iii “.1 If the line of the heart is long, extend- ing from the edge of the hand below the little finger up between the first and second fingers, it indicates an affectionate disposi- tion, and also promises well for the happi- ness of the possessor. If it sends down short lines toward the head line, it shows that affection must be founded upon respect; but if these small lines go upward, love is more a passion and impulse. When the line of the heart is broken it denotes inconsistency. But judgment must not be formed from any one appearance or line of the hand, as there are many things to be considered. We should look in the left; hand chiefly for honors, riches, loves and misfortunes, and in the right for whatever pertains to health and length of Gays. All lines, it pale and wide, tell the absence of the quality attributed to that line. or the exis- tence of the opposite quality. For instance, a pale, Wide line of the heart inflicatea cold- ness or even cruelty.
