"All ready!" called Bill. "There doesn't seem to be a one in sight!" He stepped out but no sooner had he set foot on the ground than there came a thud, and Bill went down as if some one had knocked his feet from under him. "Go back! Go back!" he cried. "They hit me with something. I'm being smothered!" "Bring a light!" cried the professor, for the sally had been started in the dark.

I remember asking not unnaturally whether we should have to swim when we got to the bottom. We made our way down a flight of wooden steps, when, passing under a high archway, we proceeded along a level road to what were called the "vats," where saltpetre was manufactured. The torches lighted up the subterranean region in which we found ourselves.

At the same time the orb began to move in vacuum, and, restrained by antagonistic attractions, to perform what is called its annual revolution."

I had left directions that I was to be called at seven; for it was plain that I must see Wemmick before seeing any one else, and equally plain that this was a case in which his Walworth sentiments only could be taken. It was a relief to get out of the room where the night had been so miserable, and I needed no second knocking at the door to startle me from my uneasy bed.

Peculiar Feature in the Meeting at Madisonville. The Fractious Preacher at Sonora. Closes his Evangelistic Labors. Establishes the Old Path Guide. The Bruner Debate. In 1877 I spent much time evangelizing, being called to hold protracted meetings at many important places.

What they then called coppers, we now call cents, and the Londoners hap-pennies. The next day we descried three sail steering for St. Salvadore. We gave chase to them; but when we came within gun shot of the stern most, she fired her stern chasers at us.

Then there were numbers of the pretty little wader, which looked exactly as if it was standing on stilts, from the length of its legs, while its bill appeared to be bent upwards, instead of downwards, as Leo declared it ought to be.
