Trcgoze is a pleasant little Cornish
village overlooking the "Western Sea."
Everything there is rough and stony,
and even t';o inhabitants are to all a-
pearance as rough and stony as their
native rocks, Hut underneath those
slaty fields lies (lie rich vein of metal,
and in those rough (iornisli hearts is a
vein of human feeling ami Christian
c harity, far, far purer than much that
passes as such in the fashionable world.

two -Joseph Tregear and Tom Pol-' came. Henceforth another had also a
glaze. ! right to join her there.
Hoth of these young men were re-,
reiving good wages in the mines, and
had opportunities of rising to higher
positions a.sl inspectors, Ac; both, too,
were steady, and had saved a little
money. It was long, however, before
Margaret herself made it known which
of them she preferred ; so far as that
goes, neither could for a long time
biast of the smallest favor. Other
girls called Margaret a flirt , but in this
they wronged her. The simple fact
was that Margaret, not yet tired of
being her own mistress, endeavored
so to order her ways that neither
Joseph Tregear, Tom Polglake nor any
other suitor might have the slightest
reason to be jealous of a rival.
Tregear, however, had the good
fense to see that neither he nor I'ol
glaze was nearly so well educated as
Margeret, and he well understood that
it is a bul omen when the husband
has to look up to the wife in tho matter
of learning. He accordingly bought
books, and iMtcmnenn earnest midnight
student. In fact, he tried in every
w ay to render himself Margaret Pow
hele's equal.
Tom Pulglaze, however, loved the
fair teacher not a whit less than his !
rival, but he was formed in a rougher '
. mold. Ho scarcely noticed the change
j in Tregear; but, if ho did not Mar
garet Powhole did, and she was highly
' gratified by it.
I "Joseph," said sho to him one even
ing when he ram? to ask her to take a
walk, "you seem much changed lately;
1 you are as little like a native of Tre
j gonze as myself."
"In what way, Margaret?"
"You have lost that twang, and you
seem to know something about the
great world. Do you study ?"
"Yes ; I hit up every night to rea l.
or to work mathematics."
"Why? What do you want to be? A
; clerk?"
! "Margaret, I study only to bo more

S i saying, eff she tripped into the

Hut win Margaret any the more
happy than the lover she had left so
disconsolate in the street? That, even-
i ing her parents noticed a great change
n her, but could not discover the
cause. She did not talk nor take any
t food, but soon retired to her own little
' room, complaining of a headache,

for my sake- to be more worthy of me,

' did I leave you so abruptly? What a
j giddy worthless thing I am!" That
1 night she could not sleep until she had
; decided upon a future course of action,
I The next day being Saturday, Mar-
ga ret spent at home in household cares ,
whicb she shared with her mother, but
she scarcely spoke a word all day. In
the evening she went to the draper's
, and bought a few ribbons and other ;
, little articles.for there was some objec, j
j tion in now b,.ing pretty. I
o Sunday she appeared in church i
( aresscd with niore than her usual care. !
j and she may be forgiven if .-he was not .
i ni(l. so attentive to the sermon as she '
. should have been, for there at a li'"
tanee sat Joseph Tregear, looking at j
, hrr with his great blue eyes, making j
j ,,rr idush. and inspiring her w ith the ;
j o ku.m.-o.m,,. j
j Tregear and Tom I'olglaze pretending
to read the inscriptions on the tombs.
At the sound of her step Tom raised
his head and advanced with a friendly
nod, while Joseph remained still, but
fixed those great blue eyes on her.
'Good morning, Tom," said she in-
calm that he was beginning to think
her heart as hard as her native rocks,
when, nodding an adieu to Polglaze.she
very naturally and very uuietly put her
hand on Tregear's arm and said:
'I am very sorry 1 kept you waiting;
I can only spare you hall an hour for a
walk."
It was the first lime she had ever
shown a preference, and Polgla,e now
knew that he, too, was "out of the
Tregear knew the price that must
,e ,,aid for Margaret's love. He knew
that Pulglaze would not give her up
without a contest. Nor wa-- it long
before the battle was commenced, for
that very evening, as Tregear was
leaving the house of the Puwhcles, he
w'as attacked by his rival. With him
it was but a word and a blow.
"Joe Tregear, you've crossed my
steps and now I'll be revenged on
you !"
So saying, Pulglaze struck a blow
which would have felled an ordinary
man. But Tregear was quite a match
for him, and the two fought long and
desparately, until separated by the
rural policeman, who threatened them
w ith legal prtK-eedings.
Of course Margaret was one of the
first to hear of the battle. Distressed
beyond measure she went to her lover's
parents, where sho found him in a
most unpresentable condition. A few
words soon explained the position of
affairs, when Margaret burst into tears
and blamed herself for showing her
preference so stupidly.
"Margaret," replied her lover, "do
not take it to heart. I'd rather be
lighting him again

"Leave me alone a minute. Let m
overcome this.
"Yes, dear heart !" said Mrs. Trc
gcar, don't ye, take on in this way.
These tinmen are regular vighters ;
but this Tom Polglazo is the mortaci
uiisost lighter that ever I zee."
"Yes, Margaret, that's true. I knew
the day I gained your love I should
find an enemy. But cheer up, cheer
up! I fancy he will not attack mo
again in a hurry, for I know he docs
not at this moment look a bit hand
somer than I do."
And so saving, he laughed tlio mnt-
trr lightly away, until Margaret too
; begau to smile through her tears.
; On the following day, when the two
j rivals went to the mine, their appear-
ance caused many jeering and con-
temptous remarks, for the tinmen were

Months passed away, however,
Trego.e recoven 'i I from his unwonted
excitement, and matters took their
usual course. Tne mines were worked,
old seams were used up, and new veins
opened out; but though the battle had
not been renewed, Joseph Tregear and
Tom Pulglaze had not shaken hands.
This caused Margaret no small anx
iety, for dow n there in the bowels of
the earth an unseen blow with a pick

spoke to Polghize and asked him
to
'shake hands with Tregear. He ret used,
but he pressed his rough hands to his
temples and said, "I loved you then,
I love you now, as much or more than
Joo Tregear."
A day or two after that both men
were again at work together, and silent
as death in thc solitary shaft. They
were suddenly startled by a falling
stone. A few lumps of earth came
tumbling down, and the whole shaft
seemed to tremble.
The works were giving way. The
two men looked at one another, for a
moment, with blanched faces. It was
the first time they had looked into one
another's eyes since that fatal day, ex
cept to dart glances of scorn and hate.
They ran to tho kebble and gave tho
signal to bo drawn up. They were
touching one another now, their hands
almost clasped together on tho rope.
Their very breath seemed to inter
mingle. It was terrible after such a
course of hate to bo brought together
under these circumstances. As they
were both shouting to be drawn up, the
rope tightened and strained, but tho
kebblo would not move. Moro earth
now fell, but still thc kebble remained
at the bottom of the shaft. Whilst
shouting louder and louder for help, the
terrible truth flashed through their
minds that there was only one man nt
the windlass, and that ho alone was
unable to raise them both, and all this
time the shaft was trembling and earth
ami stones falling.
As they stood there in the kebble
their bodies and hands touching, and
glancing into one another's eyes, the
awful thought came to them both in
an instant that one of them must die
must die to save the other his
cneniv!
One of them must die but who 1
should it be? j
They again looked at one another, I
and there was an eternity in the glance. !
Then one of them let go the rope and '
dropped out of the kebble, which im- .
mediately began to rise. Who was it? ;
The w illing martyr w as Tom Pulglaze.
"Tell Marg'ct," he shouted, as the
kebble rose above his head, "tell Marg'- j
et I did it to save her pain tosave you !
whom she loves! I forgive you! but

The shaft gave way. and nothing
presented itself to Tregeaf's gaze but a
mass of slate and rubbish. Tom Pol- i
glaze was in eternity, as noble a soul as !
ever died for any cause that is dear to '
man; as devoted as any martyr, as gen- :
erous-souled as any patriot though
only a poor miner. '
It was long before Joseph Tregear j
and Margaret P whi le recovered from :
that shock. They mourned the bravo '
dead as abrother.and a neat little stone, '
overlooking the village church-yard, '
long afterward, reminded the tinmen of
Trcgoze of the noble deed of self-sacri- j

An exchange relates an interesting
instance of a (".id's cunning. A brood
of chickens were led w ith moistened
iiif.il in saucers, and when the dough
soured it little it attracted largo number-of
dies. An observant toad had
evidently noticed this, and every day,
1 along toward evening, be would lunko
his appearance iu the yard, hop ton
saucer, climb in and roll over ami over
until be Wiis covered with meal, hav-
ing done which he awaited develop
ments. The Hies, cut iced by the smell,
soon swarmed around the scheming
i batrachian, and whenever one passed
within two inches or so of his nose his
tongue darted out and the Hy disap-
' peat.d: Ibis plan winked so well that
j the toad made a regular business of it.
