TEN EVCK, Colonel Bajjshot runs a weekly newspaper called tne Union, up in Choduuk, Recently tlie colonel was called away to New York on business leaving the Union in the hands of an assistant, who had been in hi? employ some liltle tiiiK). Now the colonel knew that said as* sistant had the che.k ot a brass stat ue, and the niMacity of a New Eng land ilv, both iudisiHMisihle attributes .oflhe newspaper man-; but still, alter being in the city about a week, lie be gau to get uneas. and telegraphed to Choduuk: 'How's things?' Back came the answer from the Union's whilom editor: 'Bully! Circulation ot the old thing's gone up a thousand. Been getting up a red hot paper, and there'* a gang outside that are weep ing because thev can't hoist the shin gles off the root, and knock the whole concern to thunder.

'Why?'asked llagshei; 'Head that.' and the ticket tigeut shoved a crumpled Union into Ids hand. There was u paragraph marked as follows: *lluuroud yews. —The bandy-legs ged idiot who robs the railroad com pany at this village has purchased a new pocket knife.

'Don't care whose work it is,' growled the agent, 'but if it ain't con tradicted somebody's got to die: that's all.' Bagshot didn't reply, hut sailed down the street to the Union of fice He had not gone ha!fa block before he collided with Deacon Marsh The deacon seized him by the shoulder,, and exclaimed.' 'What do you mean, Bagshot, by inserting that scandalously untrue item about me?' 'Didn't insert any item,' replied I he colonel. 'Dou't saeak out of it that way. You know you did. Why, I just cut it ut of the Union —listen: lle\iyiou» Intelligence.— That whits ed seiHilchcr, Deacon Marsh, was not iced,late Saturday night,trying to op en the coal hole in front ot his resi dence witn iiis night key.

'lt's that reckless fool who I leit iu charge,,'groaned the colonel. "I'll make it all right. Marsh,' and Bag shot scurried 011 again, only to be confronted by May jr Biim. The Mayor c'utched nin by the col lar. 'Colonel,' uttered Blitn, in bis dvepost voice, 'this is villainous! II'H tny intention, sir, to call you out and bhoot you through the heart.

Olf tlie coast of one of the Orkney Islands, and right opposite the har bor, stood a loneljr ra,ck, agitinst winch, in stormy nights, the boats of returning fishermen often struck and wvro lost. Fifty years ago there lived on tin's island a voting girl in a cottage with her father; and the}' loved each other very teuderly. One stormy night tin) father waß away on the Bea in his tiHliormiiti's bo&t, and, though his daughter watchod lor him iu much fear and trouble, ho did not come home. Sad to tell, in the morning his dead body was fo-ind washed ups on the beach. His boat, as lie sought the harbor, had struck against the "Lonely Rock" and gone down. In her deep soi row, this fisherman'* orphan did not think of herself alone, dlie was scarcely more than a child, j humble, poor and weak; but she said j in her heat, that while she lived, no j more boats, should l»« lost ou the! •'Louely Rock," if a light shining | through her window would guidel them safely into the harbor. And j so, after watching by the body of her | lather, according to the custom of her people until it #as buried, she laid down and slept through the day; but when night fell, arose, and lighted a candle, placed it the window of her octtage, so that it might be seen by utiy fisherman coining in from -sea, and guide hiin safely into the harbor. She sat by the candle all night and trimmed it, and spun; but when the day dawned, Bhe went to bed and slept. As many hanks os she had spun before for her daily bread, she spun still and one over, to buy Her nightly ' candle; and from that time to thii, j lor fifty years, through youth, uiatus rily aud old age, she has turned uight into day, and iu the tnow storms of winter, through driving mist, de ceptive moonlight and solemn dark ness, that noihern harbor has never otce been without the light of Ler candle. How many lives saved by this candle, and how muny meals she wou by it for the starving families of the boatmen, it is impossible to say. How many da?k nights the fishermen, depending ou it, have goue forth, c*nuot now be told. There it stood, regular as a light-house, steadily as constant euro could inuke it. Always brighter when daylight waned, the fishermen had only too kee]> it non* stantly in view and were safe; there was but one thing to intercept it, and that was the Rock. However far they might have gone out to sea, th»y .bail milv to bear down for that light ed window, aud they wore sure of a safe entrance to the harbor. But what do the boatmen and boatmen's wives think of thin? Do they pay the poor woman? No, they are very poor; but poor or rich, they know better than that. Do they thank her? No. PerliA|is they think that thanks of theirs would lie inadequate to express their grafituao; or |>erhap* long years have made the lighted casement so familiar, that they look upon it as a matter of course, and forget for the tiuie the patient watcher within.
