CRAWFORD, Durham P. 0. yl of yi He labored incessantly, now trying that but witheut any perfect result. In the course of his expsriments out of his garret window, Dan made street picâ€" tures of people both near and remote, in divers attitudes, and at nearly cvery hous Still he did not succeed to his mind. His pictures lacked the peculiar shading or "tone" that he wanted. His dream was to achieve this, which he believed would not only make them very beautiful, but give him a large and profitable custom. Two or three more weeks slipped by. Dan made pictures of everybody he could get before his camora. Ho photographed his den and all his miscellaneous trumpery. He photographed buildings, fences and "I‘m trying to do semething, mother ; I‘ve just got hold of it now, I guess. I only want a little more time." This was about as long a speech as Dan was in the habit of making at one time. His mother was pacified, and for the presâ€" ent let hira alone. ular turn for one profitable calling. It was necessary that he should choose some single business and stick to it. She took the boy in hand and expostulated with him. Dan looked distressed. Dan went on with his photographing for several weeks. Helearned to take very good pictures but he was far from satisâ€" fied. His fingers were always stained black and brown with acids that he could not wash off, and his clothes always gave out a peculiar smell of colodion |Dan‘s mother began to be really anxâ€" ious. The boy was growirg up a loose ‘nckâ€"ofâ€"allâ€"trades, but without any particâ€" He was not much of a talker. He gonâ€" nerally kept silent and stared. Nobody knew what amount of thinking he did meanwhile, and in fact many who had Iaughed at his greenness had to contfess afterwards that he not only saw things that were going on, but knew more about what he saw than the smaitest of them. It would be hard to imagine a more unâ€" tidy, chaoticâ€"looking place than Dan‘s "‘den." It was full of bottles, old clothes, jars, bits of machinery, imusical instruâ€" ments, carpenter‘s tools, old maps, torn pictures, pots of paints and chemicals, fragâ€" monts of old machines, staffed birds, etc. ; and it smelled so fearfully that no one but Dan could ever stay long enough to make an inventory of all the contents. Dan was as odd looking a character as one would be likely to see in a year‘s traâ€" vel. He was thin and lank in the body and legs. His head was large, and he had light blue eyes, and long, whitish hair, which he rarely combed, and which stragâ€" gled about all over his head, as if the rats had made nests in it the last time he slept. \ The report was true. Dan had obtained a camera of good size, and was exporiâ€" menting up in his "den," in one ond of his mother‘s garret. ""Well, well," said they, shrugging their shoulders, "Dan is an odd stick. Ii‘s ‘"bout time he went into something useful. Photography, eh ?" One day the neighbors opened their eves and pricked up their ears at the nows that Dan had taken up photography ; not that they were astonished at anything that Dan did, but they were interested in his enterprise, though regarding it as anâ€" other freak of bis curious genins. Always taking up some new idea to work out. I{hedid not know all about many things, he really seomed to know a little about everything. He knew how to print, how to bleed a horse, how to use a telegraph instrument how to cultivate silk worms, how to make the most outrageous noise with his hands, how to grow pears, how to play checkers with his eyes shut, and, in short, he knew how to do nearly everything that happened to come in his way to learn. ‘ He was sizteon years of age, yet he had the reputation of possessing as much knowledge about odd and outâ€"ofâ€"theâ€"way 1 things as any ten average lads. He was believed to have an intimate aequaintance with every trout in the streams, every bird in the woods and every rabbit in the burâ€" rows. He had found the largest collection of birds‘ eggs to be found in the country ; and it was reported and solemuly believed by all the small boys in the neighborhood that he had & secret understanding with the kingâ€"fisher and orioles, by which they agrood to surrender an egg of each litter to him, in consideration of his promise to let all others alone. The quecrest fellow without exception in all Wexford was Daniel Battler. That the inward motives be revealed ; But now, whate‘er the spirit be, Mere words are but a mockery. One grain of aid just now is more To hi than tomes of saintly lore ; Pray, if you must, in your heart ; But give him e lift ! give him & start! The world is full of good advico, Of prayer, and praisa, and preaching nice ; But the generous souls who aid maukind Are scarce as gold and hard to find. Give like a Christianâ€"speak in doeds ; A noble life‘s the best of crecds ; And ho shall wear a royal crown Who gives them a lift when they are dowit! Give him a lift! don‘t knecl in pruyer, Nor moralize with his despair ; The man is down, and his great need Is ready helpâ€"not prayer and ereed. "Tis tin e whon the wounds are washed and henled, Dan‘s Photograph. Give Him a Lift. DURHAM, Co. Grey, MAY 9, 1878 POETRY "Stop !" cried the judge, in a wry that was heard in all parts of the room. As soon as silence was obtained, he turnel toward Dan, who still remained standing. "Young man, do you know anything about this case ?" "Yes, sir," replied Dan, slowly. "I knowâ€"" "I don‘t want to know that," inumPted the Judge. "Come this way, my [boy." "Silence!" roared the crier, with a fierce tone, and then, assuming that the boy intended to make sport, ordered him to sit down. "No," drawled Dan, "I guess not." Of course that set the crowd into still louder laughter. The crier made an atâ€" tempt to get at the boy. The prosecuting attorney arose and forâ€" mally recounted the strong points in the case, dwelling especially on the failure of the prisoner to prove an alibi, i. e. to show to the satisfaction of the court that he was elsewhere than at the bank at the momment of the crime, when, suddenly, to the unâ€" speakable astonishment of all present, & queer voice from a distant part of the house exclaimed :â€" "But I can tell where he was." Everybody turned to look at the speakâ€" er, who was none other than our friend Dan. He stood with his mouth wide open, clutching his cap with one hnnd,and with the other nervously poking his tousâ€" led hair. Everybody laughed. All the known evidence was in hand,and to the last save the statements of a few friends as to his previous good character, nothing in his behalf save his own unsupâ€" ported word had been brought forward. The pirsoner sat in the court roam, pale, but with a fearless firmmess on his features that scarcely seemed like guilt. The case seemed to be going against the prisoner, for one or two other persons had been summoned to testify that "io the best of their knowledge and belief," they had seen the man in or about the bank at 1 o‘clock on the day the check was pasâ€" sed. Everybody was extremely interested in the trial, tor the prisoner was well known in the town, and had always been supposâ€" ed to be honest. ‘The anxiety was intense to know whether he would be proved a criminal. Unfortunately for him, he was obliged to admit that he was alone in his friend‘s ofice at the hour in question, and failed to produce any witness besides himself to prove definitely where he was, though he had made every effort to do so. It was a question of veracity, man against man, but the clear and positive statement of the teller rgainst the nceused, and the possiâ€" bilty of some motive presumed to exist in the man‘s financial cireurmstances, had decided the direction, considering the inâ€" terest at stake, to hold him to answer at the next session of the court. And now the day of trial had come. E The boy‘s thoughts pointed the same , way. He must go out into the cold and find something to do, or some day he might have to stay out in the eold. He | desconded into the street and wandered :a.bout the town feeling very moody and . distressed. On the other hand, the accused indigâ€" nantly denied the charge and protested that he was not in or near the bank at the time alleged, but in the office of & friend in H. street. Ho remembered his whereâ€" abouts for the arrest was not long after the presentation of the forged check, and all his movements on that day remained distinetly on his mind. From the first he had continued to assert his innocence, and deciared the teller had mistaken him for some other map. About this time a trial was in progress at the court. A man was charged with passing a forged check at the bank. The teller fully identified the prisoner, describâ€" ed his movements, and related what was said between them at the time with the greatest minutencss. The shrewd magistrate knew the youngâ€" This was a trying question. He could not imagine that any one would lend him enough cash to carry on the project, and he did not scem to think of any way to earn a sufficient sum. He went up to his "den" and sat down in the midst of his bottles and rubbish, feeling uncommonly bluo. Here was the camera on its three long legs with a black muffler drawn over it, and with its brass nose pointing out into the air. He was at his wits‘ end. He believed he was on the very verge of an important discovery. He only wanted a little more money. Where should the money come from 9 "Ab?" said Dan. And he shook hi head onee more and loked very deject ed. Finally his mother beggzed him to stop his amusement, as she callad it, and go into a store, or some business where he might support himself. Dan shook his hesd. "Can‘t, Mother." "But, Dan, I can‘t afford to give much more money for the acids you want." ures, and in groups ; he took them looking up and looking down, making gestures or sitting still ; he took them as they stood in a window, and as they walked below him, or rode past in carriages. Many of the photographs were good, but still the subâ€" tle finish was wanting. Dan could not reâ€" nlize his dream. of the day. â€" Dan took tliem in single ONTARIO G. W. R.â€"At the half yearly meeting of the Great Western Railway in London on Wedneseay, Sir Hugh Childers, chairâ€" man, said the passenger trafio had deâ€" creased fortyâ€"five per cent. in volume, but the rates were twentyâ€"five per cent. better, the best result for years past. He referred in detail to to the position of the Compaâ€" ny‘s leased lines, and stated that the conâ€" dition of affairs in the States and Canada, was much altered since the last half year, showing an improvement in business genâ€" erally. The line is in a satisfactory conâ€" dition to take advantage of any: improveâ€" ment as soon as it occurs. A unanimous vote carrying the motion was passed, Acciozxtan Haxoma atr QueExstox.â€" A very sad accident happened on Tuesday afternoon to a tenâ€"yearâ€"old son of Henry Sheppard, sr., Queenston, Ont. He was engaged alone, in making a swing in m tree in his father‘s woods, near the house. It is supposed he had fastened one end of the rope to a limb, and had wound the other end round his neck and was moving out on the limb for the purpose of fastenâ€" ing the other end, when he slipped off and was found hanging with his toes just touchâ€" ing the ground. He died about an heur after being cut down. { Notz or Przprariatroxs.â€"How the Conâ€" servatives are prepuring for the elections may be judged from the fact that in Toâ€" ronto on Monday last, the Court ot Revisâ€" ion had to strike off the list sixtyâ€"two Conâ€" servative voters whose names had been imâ€" properly put on. Fourteen Reformers were placed on, making a total difference on an electoral count of seventyâ€"six voter. The lists of three other wards remain to be investigated. From that moment Dan‘s star began to rise. He had money to continue his exâ€" periments, and he eventually discovered a process by which he succeeded in obtainâ€" ing the richest and most durable photoâ€" graphs that are now taken in Wexford. He still keeps the old camera that made his fortune. **You have saved me. You shall have anything you want. I cannot do enough to show you my gratitude." Dan‘s triumph was complete. He was a hero. People forgot his strange dress and his wildâ€"looking head, and actually "lionized" him. ‘The prisoner was disâ€" charged. He instantly went to Dan, and, seizing both his hands, exclaimed : The teller was once more placed upon the stand. He was confused by the eviâ€" dence he had heard, and was by no means as positive as he was before. At last he actually admitted that he might be laborâ€" ing under a mistake. And upon that he retired into the crowd with an appearance of great chagrin. The jury and counsel now examined the photograph minutely. â€"It could not be disâ€" puted; there was the identical man, and thercfore he was not in the bank at the moment when the forged check was pasâ€" sed. "There‘s the clock on St. Luke‘s Church up in the corner." said he, pointing to the place and handing the picture to the Judge. "B; the dial here," said the Judge, "it is 1 o‘clock at the instant when the picture was taken." Dan took the picture and looked at it closely. "At what time, exactly, was the photo graph taken ?" But there was still a very important question to be settled. Immediately there was a general buzz in the court room. Tho prisoner‘s pale face flushed, and he gazed upon Dan with & look of joyful gratitude. 12. m. and 8 p. m. Among other pictures ke made one of a man standing in the window of a building on the opposite side of the streat. The man that he photoâ€" graphed was the prisoner at the bar. "Clerk, administer the oath to this boy." Dan was sworn. I cannot repeat his testimony here, but be sure it was drolly worded and disjointâ€" ed enough. It mad* everybody laugh, even while it interested them profoundly. The substance of it was that, on the day when the forged check was passed, he was taking photographs between the hours of In his hand he held a paperas large as the cover of a goography. â€"‘This he handed to the Judgo. HMe looked at it curiously, then at the prisoner. In a moment he said : Dan made his way out of the conrt room and disappeared. In ten minutes he came back again breathless. Me hadnoever been known to run before. "Ah," said they to one another, our Dan has turned up somothing new. It‘s just like him," Their surprise was turned to certainty when the Judge announced: "This young man will produce important eviâ€" dunee for the defense." The Judge leanel forward and said something to him in a very low tone, and then Dan whispered back to the Judge. Soon the people saw the Judge smile and nod his head. Dan, all spotted and stained, picked his way out of the crowd, and walked forward to the bench. A curious spectacle he was, with his uncouth form ard dress, and his mass of white hair. ster well enough to know that ho would neither care nor dare to bo fooling at such & time, TORONTO $1 per year in Advance ing to get a good place had better come and see it as soon as possible. ‘There are a gregt number of settlers here and others are coming. There is plenty of land on the Island yet for sale, and improved land can be bought cheap.

There is a millâ€"site at the outlet of Old Woman Lake, and it is a good place for a grist and sawâ€"mill. There will be a good local trade here. The mill site can be bought cherp, and there is not much of a dam to make, and plenty of water. The lake is seven miles long, and about three miles wide.

The seitlers are generally well satisfied here, baving plenty work, plenty to eat, and good health. The Bruce Herald publishes the followâ€" ing from Mr. B. Bock, scitled in Carnarâ€" von township, on the west side of Old Woman Lake:â€""We all think that we made a good move in getting land for our selves and boys. We are well satisficd with the land we got. It is good, and will yield good ermaps ; the crops were good last year. ‘This country is settling very fast, and the soitlers are clearing their land rapidly, and the roads are being opened so that the settlers can get to the mills and stores, &e., pretty well. There is some land in this township vrot taken up yet, and the surveyors are busy surveying anoâ€" ther township. I suppose it will be in the market in a few months. Any person wishing to get land had better come as soon as the boats run. We have had a very mild winter and very little snow. The most we had at one time was four inches. Hugarâ€"making commenced about the first of this month; the Indians were the first to commence.

Some of them are pretty clean in sugar making, 1 but some are otherwise. ‘There were two span of horses drowned in Manitou Lake this winter. Some Indians got them out and made use of them. (Indians say, "horse ment good , make Injin strong.")
