JESSY. It was night The cabin, poor, but warm and cozy, was full of a haif twi light, through whieh the objects of the interior were but dimly visible by the glimmer of the embers which flickered on the hearth and reddened the dark rafters, overhead. The fisherman's nets were hanging on the walL Some homely pots and pans twinkled on a rough shelf in the eorner. iieside a great bed with long falliDg curtains, a mattress was extended on a couple of old benches on which five little chil dren were asleep like cherubs iu a nest By the bedside with her forehead pressed against the counterpane, knelt the children's mother, the was alone" Outside the cabin, the black ocean dashed with stormy snowftakes, moaned and murmured, and her husband was at sea. From his boyhood he had been a fish erman. His life! as one may say, had been a daily flight with the great water for every day the children must be fed' and every day, rain, wind or tempest out went his boat to flab. And while in hie fotr sailed boat he plied his soli tary task at sea his wife at home patched the sails, mended the nets, looked to the hooks or watched the little lire where the fish soup was boiling -as soon as uie nve children were as leep she fell upon her knees and prayed to heaven for her husband in his strug gle witn the waves and darkness. And truly such a life as his was hard. The likeliest place for fish was a mere speck among the breakers, not more than twice as large as his own cabin a spot obscure, capricious, changing on the moving desert, and yet which had to be discovered in the fog and tern. pest of a winter night by sheer skill and knowledge of the tides and winds. And there while the gliding waves ran past like emerald serpents, and the gulf of darkness rolled and tossed.and the straining rigging groaned as if in terror there, amid the icy seas, he thought of his own Jenny; and Jenny, in her cottage, thought of him with tears. : fshe was thinking of him then and praying. The seagull's harsh and mocking cry distressed her, and the roaring ot the billows on the reef alarmed her souL But she was wrapped in thoughts thoughts of their poverty. Their little children went barefooted winter and summer. (Wheat bread they never ate, only bread of barley. Heavens! the wind roared like the bellows of a forge, and the seacoast echoed like an anvil. She wept and trembled. Poor wives' whose husbands are at sea! How terrible to say, "My dear ones father, lover, broth ers, sous are in the tempest!' But Jen ny was still more unhappy. Herhusoaiid was alone alone without assistance on this bitter night Her children were too little to assist him. Poor mother! Now she says' ''I wish they were grown up to help their father!" Foolish dream! In years to come, when they are with their father in the tempest, she will say.with tears, "I wish they were but children still!" Jenny took her lantern and her clock. "It is time," she said to herself, "to see whether he is coming back, whether the sea is calmer, and whether the light is burning on the signal mast.'' ne went out There was nothing to be seen barely a streak of white on the horizon. It was raining, the dark. ccld rain of early morning. No cabin window showed a gleam of light All at once, while peering round her, her eyes preceived a tumbledown old cabin which showed no sign of light or lire. The door was swinging in the wind; the wormeaten walls seemed scarcely able to support the crazy roof, on which the wind shook the yellow' filthy tnfts of rotten thatch. "Stay," she cried, "I am forgetting tne poor widow whom my husband found the other day alone and ilL must see how she is getting on." She knocked at the door and listened. No one answered. Jenny shivered in the cold sea wind. "She is ill. And her poor children! fche has only two of them; but she is very poor, and has no husband." She knocked again, and called out, 4ITT I Ll MS 1 a. . ney, neiguoon uus me caDin was still silent "Heaven!" she said, "how sound she sleeps that it requires so much to wake her!" At the instant the door opened of it self. She entered. Her lantern illu mined the interior of the dark and silent cabin, and showed her the water falling from the ceiling as through the openings of a sieve. At the end of the room an awful form was lying a woman stretched out motionless, with oare feet and sightless eyes. I f er cold white arm hung down amoung the pal let Me was dead. Once a strong and nappy mother, she was now onjy the specter which remains of poor hu manity after a long struggle with the world. i New the bed on which the mother lay two little children a soy and a girl slept together In their cradle and were smiling in their dreams. Their other, when ibt felt that she was dylaf, had laid her cloak ara-cw their feet and wrapped them In her dress, to keep then warm when she herself How sound they slept in their old, tottering cradle, with their calm breath and quiet little faces! It seemed as if nothing could awake these sleep ing orphans. Outside the rain beat down in floods and the sea gave forth a sound like an alarm belt From the old creviced roof, through which blew the gale, a drop of water ieil on the dead face and ran down it like a tear. What had Jenny been about in the dead woman's house ? What was she carrying off beneath her cloak? Why was her heart beating? Why did she hasten with such trembling steps to her own cabin without daring to look back. What did she hide in her own bed behind the curtain? What had she been stealing? When Bhe entered the cabin the cliffs were growing white. She sank ujon the chair beside the bed. She was very pale, it seemed as if she felt repentance. iter forehead fell upon the pillow, and at interveals, with broken words. she murmured to herself, while outside the cabin moaned the savage sea. -My poor man! Oh, heavens, what will he say? He has already so much trouble. What have I done now? rive cmaren on our hands already' Their father toils and toils, and yet as it he had not care enough already, 1 must give him this care more, is that he ? No, nothing. I have done wrong he would do quite right to beat me. Is that he? No! So much the better! The door moves as if some one were coming in; but no. To think that I should feel afraid to see him enter!' men sue remained absorbed in thought and shivering with tke cold, unconscious of all outward sounds, of the black cormorants, which passed shrieking and of the rage of wind and sea. All at once the door flew open, a streak of the white light ot morning entered, and the fisherman. dracrtHntr his dripping net, appeared upon the threshold, and cried, with a gay laugh iiere comes the navy!'' "You!" cried Jenny; and she clasped her husband like a lover, and pressed her mouth against his rough jacket. Here I am, wife " he said, showing in the firelight the good natured and contented face which Jenny loved so welL "1 have been unlucky," he continued ' What kind of weather have you had?" "DreadfuL" "And the fishing?" "But But never mind. I have you m my arms again, and I am satislied have caught nothing at all. I have only torn my net The deuce was in the wind tonight.

Hardly an Eskimo, and especially no Eskimo boy, stirs out of the house in winter without one of these scoops in his hand. To every party of two or three there will also be a good sized bag of sealskins generally made of a piece of an old kavak cover, for bringing home the fish. Arriving at the fishing grounds each j proceeds to pick a hole through the ice which is about four feet thick, clearing our. chips with the scoop. The "jiirs are then let down through the hole and enough line unreeled to .keep them just clear of the bottom, where the fish are playing about.

Exchange.' Ked Headed Imigrant Ciirls. When the Bridtish steamer Lord Gough arrived at this port from Liver pool and Queenstown it was noticed of the 375 female immigrants on board over 300 of them were red headed. Not only is this fact alone enough to make every white horse in town balky, but it will also prove an mtersting question to thinking people. Are nearly all fe male immigrants red headed? Do red headed girls make the best servants If not, why do so many red headed girls emigrate? Was it simply a coincident that so many of the female passengers on the Lord Gough were red headed? These and a hundred other questions will naturally arise. The commander of the Lord Gough did not notice anv thing particular on the voyage over except the facts that there were several rainbows at night, and although the weather was quite calm there was an unsually Urge number of white caps. i-nuaaeipnia itecord. j of bea-ta, fcr 1 take the crowa from the lion and put it on the brow oi i.i--horse, which is iu every way uoalrr, and speak to the shepherds just coine frmn their fkveks, the Lord himself i'i one pl.u-e is e;illl a shepherd and in air other place called a Lamb, and all th. good are ehrt-p, and preach to you cattlemen come up from the herus your occupation honored by tiie lac'. that God hutseif thinks it worthy oi immcrtul nvord that lie owns "the cuttle on a thousand hilis."

The painting of a hand on the houses in Tunis, Algiers and other oriental countries is not wholly a Jewish cus tom, but Is common to the natives of an. it is always an emblem of good luck, and In Syria, also in Naples, is a charm against the evil eye. Hands are ranged in the form of a branch are merely an sssthetlc form of the charm The reason the Jews paint hands on their walls at the time of the passover is because at that season of tho vear . i i uieir nouses are renovated inside and out. Captain Candar remarks that the hand charm was used by the Phoeni cians, and that it occurs on votine steles at Carthage, whenoe it is supposed to have spread to neighboring cities and countries.
